[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjim:
Hi.

Yesterday I got a notification to update to 5.1.1. ( My nexus 5 was on 5.1, everything stock, never flashed anything before )

I selected 'install' for 5.1.1, and left my phone aside. After a few minutes I saw that it was in the boot animation. I thought it was the process ongoing. Several hours later I decided to restart the phone manually ( obviously something went wrong ).

After rebooting, again, it's stuck there. On the four colored dots swirling around.

I searched on forums, I got the 5.1.1 stock, got ADB, fastboot etc, flashed as the instructions said ( via ./flash-all.sh and via the long version by manually flashing every partition ) EVERY time the same thing, when I boot it's just showing the boot animation forever.

Any idea on what's wrong?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
I would wipe data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjim:
Tried 'Wipe data/factory reset' a couple of times.

Also tried 'Wipe cache partition' later.

No difference at all. It stays for hours on the booting animation.

Can I somehow see the logs or something to see where it's stuck?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
I believe you must flash factory images at this point. Just make sure you backup SD Card data or flash each partition manually skipping the userdata.img (this one erases internal storage)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjim:
Well I did that, I tried 5.1, 5.1.1 and the M image.

None of them works.

At this point I'm tired of doing the whole process every time and waiting for 15 mins to see if it worked.

Thankfully, I called google support and they will send me a replacement.

I'm just very curious how this whole mess happened from a simple OTA update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
If a complete wipe of the phone with factory images didn't fix it sounds like hardware. Possible corrupt NAND I think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackjim:
Possibly.

In any case, they already sent me a replacement phone.

Google support has been extremely satisfying.

Under activesync server settings I can change the IP address but cannot change the user name.

Does anybody know the way around this?

This is a Zip Themer zip file that I created for my One (M8) Lollipop 5.1 stock rom phone. I had searched all over the threads for one and I decided to create one when I couldn't find. The Home Key is replaced by the words "One M8" and a few changes on the back key and recent task list.

I have to give credits to Candy Shop thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383098) where I got the inspiration from. If you don't know how to use Zip Themer, then have a look at the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39572221&postcount=18

Also, it is important to understand that in my case I opted to use a rom zip (@Matthew0776 step 4 in configuring Zip Themer) for [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] the Sense 7 Camera which doesn't have aroma installer (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/themes-apps/app-sense-camera-gallery-m8-rom-t3008262). I would highly recommend you also use a Rom that's compatible with M8 ROM that you are installing on without Aroma Installer. Else, you could opt use the Sense 7/6 Camera as mentioned earlier.

Zip Themer link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kellinwood.zipthemer

NB: ALWAYS make a Nandroid before flashing. Also make sure you create an undo zip with Zip Themer.

Does it work with Sense 7 ? I tried to install your navbar and everything went fine but in the end my navbar did not change.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Very complicated if you ask me.

1: open the SystemUI.apk

2: drag the drawable-xxhdpi folder out it and edit the navbar icons with paint (or whatever)

3: drag the folder back in the apk and push it via the recovery to system/priv-app/SystemUI/

4: reboot and it's done

[Moto E General] shanmukhateja:
So, I just built a CM11 for my XT1022 based on [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] trees. I found a difficulty in setting up RIL (although Bluetooth was working fine).

I thought maybe, the vendor blobs were a mismatch and they need to be replaced by the stock KK4.4.4 ones.

I found a proprietary-blobs.txt in the vendor directory( again thanks to [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION]) but the problem was the files list was huge and it would be insane to manually fetch those files

Hence, I wrote a small python script to fetch the vendor blobs from my phone recursively.

The only changes you need to make on the script is to change the paths of proprietary-blobs.txt (path_list variable) and the *croot* path (croot_path variable).

I hope in this way, I am a little helpful to my fellow members in this community

The code:

#!/usr/bin/python3

#don't forget to put the / at the beginning and the end
path_list="<modify-the-path-to-proprietary-blobs.txt>"
croot_path="<specify croot_path"

try:
f=open(path_list,"r")

except(FileNotFoundError):
print("Invalid file path")
sys.exit(1)

finally:
count=0
a=f.readlines()
for x in a:
count=count+1
b=os.system("adb pull "+a[0].replace("\n","")+" "+croot_path+os.path.split(x)[0].replace("\n",""))
print(b)

print("Job done!")
print("Total files to retreive: "+len(a))
print("No. of retreived files: "+count)
print("Goodbye!")
sys.exit(0)

Is there any way to change the default camera save folder in AOKP? The camera app I'm seeing on my device doesn't seem to expose any option for changing the storage location for new photos, etc. I'd like to point it to my external SD card like I did with the Samsung camera app on stock.

I have a Hermes and am on AT&T/Cingular mobile in New York and I love my phone. I have a friend in India who would like to buy one and wants to know if it will work in his country. I told him that I thought it would, since it is quad-band.

[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
A 2hr water test where the G4 survived.
[G4 General] Zoidy:
It says the phone is splash proof on the O2 page:

https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/lg/g4/
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
Well it has no IP rating - so that protects them as then, they cannot be on the hook for water damage. And, normally, these vids are kind of counting on the fact that surface tension will simply keep water from going into tiny holes. But in this case, since it is not a sealed back phone water DID get into the actual inside the phone, around the battery and SD card area, and presumably into the motherboard and such. So, it is cool for him it survived, but I consider that luck, not anything you should expect and count on. This is not like the Z3 Sony where you can go swimming with it so not so sure what the point of the video is? Can you get it wet, ok sure to some degree. Should you, no. But for that matter can you drop it and expect it to not break, sure to some degree depending on a slew of factors. Should you drop it, no.

I don't consider this "good news" and as a matter of fact, it is not really news as it has no application to what YOU do and how you might get yours wet. Just like stupid drop test videos that prove NOTHING other than what happened at that moment for that person in that setting with that phone. It means nothing for you and you won't be able to go to the maker and say, "but hey, this video on YouTube showed it would survive water and it didn't". As they will tell you to pound sand - as they should.
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
You must be fun at parties

Lol kidding but yeah, this video was stupid.

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[G4 General] hella356:
The guy in the video states that you could have it in your pocket & jump in a pool. I don't think he realizes that the deeper you go, the higher the water pressure. Still, it looks like it'll survive dropping it in the toilet or spilling on it, which is an acceptable level of resistance to me.

Hi all.

Had my 910c for a few months now and considering rooting. Android 5.0.1

Sad to see There's no way to avoid tripping knox yet and if I read correctly it's not likely coming soon. [emoji27]

Before I take the plunge and root anyway I need to run my banking apps for UK nationwide and bank of Scotland (Halifax )

Does anyone know if any of the root hiding methods do work ?

Will the banking app not work if your phone is rooted?? If I remember correctly, they will still wotk. I use hsbc and bank of america on my rooted S4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon.murrell:
Both nationwide and Halifax banking apps look for root and refuse to work. So some method of cloaking needs to be used I assume
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equlizer:
You need to install Xposed (with twrp or cwm) and install Root cloak.

Xposed for n910c on lollipop 5.0.1 exynos is it working.

I accidentally froze, by my mistake, all my apps with titanium backup, now my Phone is re booting itself after the message "optimizing x app of x"

Even to save /sdcard

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Why?

Shutdown phone from any screen by holding power button for 10 sec (or it turns off). You can do it also while it is optimising apps, does not matter now.

Then hold Vol down+ Power to boot into recovery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
What he said. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to shut it off by holding the power button and then boot into recovery. If you are already doing this then it's probably a case of using the button combo incorrectly (lots of people do). You need to hold volume down, then power (so you're holding them together), then when the phone begins to boot and you see the OnePlus boot logo you need to let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery. If you keep holding power after seeing the boot logo the phone thinks you just want to reboot again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
Hi,

I know this is a strange requset.

Because my Nexus 6 is stuck at Google logo and can't boot into system or TWRP.

This is begin at when I try to flash 5.11 OTA(TWRP flashable) file.

After install without error, I have stuck at Google logo.

Then I notice that my system is rooted, noforce encrypt and use F2FS filesystem.

I gusee that the problem is new kernel didn't support F2FS, so I flashed Zen kernel with fastboot.

This step let me can boot in to system normally, but I still can't get into TWRP.

Because I want to fix TWRP, so I tried fastboot erase cache.(This is big mistake.....I should backup all file before try this command)

After fastboot erase cache, I still can't get into TWRP, and I lose system again.(Stuck at boot Animation)

I think it is cause by "fastboot erase cache" didn't create F2FS filesystem cache partition.

Does someone can help me that give me a F2FS filesystem cache partition img file?

I just want to get into system and backup all file.

Then do a full factory reset, hope this can bring back my TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
do fastboot format cache then fastboot format userdata. Then TWRP should work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
Thanks for quick reply,

That is what I want to do.

But it will wipe all my data, so I want to get into system and backup data before do fastboot format userdata.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh I see.

Have you tried adb access whilst bootloop?

Failing that, another option would be edit the ramdisk to change the /cache mount to ext4. I imagine the kernel you have has set it as f2fs

I'll happily format my cache as f2fs and take a nandroid of it to create a cache image, but im not sure if that would be fastboot flashable?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
Try it and I can know is flashable or not.:D

I have tried adb access, adb can connect my device, but can't access sdcard,:eek:

/system/bin/sh: cd: /sdcard: No such file or directory
/system/bin/sh: cd: /storage/sdcard0: No such file or directory
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can try /data/media/0 for sdcard

Nandroid isnt in .img format.

I've just dd'd a cache.img and fastboot flashed that. Lets see if it boots. If it does, I'll format it and dd it again.

Edit > Well it booted (though it is optimising now)...

I'll try and format and dd the image for you, though not sure it will work. Do I need a special version of TWRP to format F2FS?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
https://twitter.com/dhacker29/status/568070387306766336

This one can format F2FS, but I am not sure TWRP will check kernel support F2FS or not.

And I can't access /data/media via adb.

shell@shamu:/ $ cd data
cd data
shell@shamu:/data $ cd media
cd media
/system/bin/sh: cd: /data/media: Permission denied
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah I found that one eventually and it let me format.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
It works!!!

Huge thanks for your help.

Now I can start to backup my data.:laugh:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
wow, that was surprisingly easy.

Well dd copies at block level, so it *should* have worked, but I've never really tested it before.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowtom:
Finally, I recover my data and didn't lost any one.

The step what I do is:

1. Use fastboot to flash cache img which provided by danarama.

2. Reboot to test, result is System ok and TWRP still fail.

3. Boot to system and backup all data with MTP.

4. Use fastboot erase userdata to factory reset my Nexus 6.

5. After step 4, I can get into TWRP. Redo the Convert to F2FS procedure.

6. Reboot to system and skip all initial SETUP. Copy all sdcard data to nexus 6 by MTP.

7. Back to TWRP, restore the data partition(F2FS) which backup a weekago.

8. Reboot to test, both System and TWRP boot correctlly.

Thanks to the Codefire Team and thanks to LG we have from some minutes ago the official steps to unlock LG G4's Bootloader:

Here

VERY IMPORTANT

1) For now this procedure is only available for H815 International variant (but LG page it says: "We will add more devices with unlockable bootloaders unlocking permission progressively")

2) doing this will void your warranty

My advice is : we have to support codefire Team ( [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] [MENTION=6053822]IllegalArgument[/MENTION] ) much stronger to have a bootloader solution that will not void warranty and give us always root availability.
