If I remember correctly, you have to reflash the original rom and don't tamper with it until after you do your updates

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
If you were rooted, then simply unrooting won't allow you to install OTA updates. You need to flash a completely untouched system image. You can either do this by restoring a backup image you or someone else made or by flashing a ruu.

See this post for more details.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
Do you get an error7 when the OTA tries to update - it will say something about system partition is modified/RW? TWRP modifies the system partition when you first run it - you get prompted to modify; ensure you only allow it AFTER a stock backup, after the OTA.

If so, you will need to flash the '/system' partition. took me hours to realise my /system partition files were still modified even after applying a backup (which had modified /system files as i allows TWRP updates before i took the backup)

Grab the system.emmc.win file from your STOCK image, and flash manually in download mode.

Depending on what firmware you were on, you can download the recovery, boot and droiboot image files from the pre-rooted rom thread. These are included in the file and can be downloaded separately. Make sure the recovery is the same or higher than the last stock firmware you were on or it might not work or result in bootloop...

Put Zenfone 2 in fastboot mode and use fastboot to flash -

fastboot devices (if you are good to go it will list your serial number)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

You will need adb sideload to install the stock rom or you can put the zip file of the stock rom on a fat32 formatted sd card and see if it will upgrade using recovery...
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] frenzyashish:
So I received my Mi4i 32GB today, which I brought from the flash sale held on Aug 4th on the Xiaomi website.

I switched the phone on without the SIM card. I had to convert my SIM cards to nano, and then I inserted them in the phone. To my surprise, the phone couldn't read either of the SIMs. I thought there must be something wrong with the SIM, so I checked it in my friend's Mi4i and it worked fine in that.

While struggling to find a solution to this, I found several more problems.

1. The system update downloaded, but was not able to install even once, I always checked the version, and it was the stock version, rather than the new 6.6 version. Tried it several times, failed.

2. I could click pictures fine, but Icouldn't record a video from the stock camera app.

3. Youtube couldn't play videos. I tried this before and after updating the app too. It always said Unable to load, video.

4. Downloaded Snapchat, again a problem in video. I could see normal snaps from people, but not the videos.

5. I made a MI account online, but I could never sign in from the phone. It said, Cant get device ID.

6. Sound recorder didn't work.

7. I tried using *#06#, which is used to find the IMEI number, and it showed Invaid IMEI for both the SIMs.

8. I then tried to get in the boot by pressing the navigation key and power button, that showed a screen called FastBoot, but never went ahead.

So many problems I found in less than 8 hours! I didn't expect this from Xiaomi.

I think only my phone could be faulty as I couldnt find similar complaints on the web.

I'll be greatful if somebody could help with this asap.

I'm hoping atleast the service center would not piss me off by keeping me waiting to get a proper functioning phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dm8803:
I am sending mine in for a replacement under warranty but I wanted to check if there was any water damage inside my Verizon Galaxy S4.

The outer water damage indicators on the phone and the battery are fine, but I am aware there is another indicator inside the phone next to the camera when I open it up.

I always take my phone into the bathroom with me when I shower and I have heard the steam from the shower could set that off, so I wanted to open up the phone and check to make sure everything is okay before sending it in.

Your insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Haha, well I think I'll be fine too, but I was always curious to find out how, if at all, the insurance companies check for "tamper evidence" cuz I want to open up the phone and understand how it works, but I also don't want to void my warranty :rolleyes:.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
There are more than one "tamper" indicators in the S4. The one you ask about is not for tampering, it shows possible water damage. The spot will turn a solid pink or red when exposed to excess moisture. Not sure about steam from in the shower but if it gets wet (dropped in water, etc) it will turn the spot.

There is also the Knox counter that will tell if the software has been modified.

Not sure what you are trying to do, but if you want the calendar to open at an older date so the user can get to his birthday faster, I think you can easily set the date of the calendar to something like 01/01/1990 which is probably closer to his birthday then 2015
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DIYmaster:
Hello I just received a Galaxy S6 from O2 and this is the first time I've decided to keep my smart phone. I would like to install a custom ROM with less bloatware and snappy performance. The one that came highly recommended and I constantly see being mentioned on here is XtreStoLite.

My phone is SM-920F running 5.0.2 Somehow this is suppose to be the better firmware in order to go to custom ROM? In that case I'm glad mine didn't get shipped with 5.1.1.

Can you please suggest to me the best method to use to install a new ROM? Also I heard about KNOX, I don't mind removing it if possible or not tripping it at least. Another question I have is about Kernel. I'm not sure I understand this very much but do I just need XtreStoLite and that's it, or would I have to also get a new Kernel?

Why is there 2 different topics about XtreStoLite? One being called Deodexed?

If I dislike the ROM after few months and find something better, is it again as easy to switch to another custom ROM?

Thank you to all who are feeding me with info on this matter, I don't want to sound like I want stuff handed to me instead of doing my research, but I was hoping to gain some experience and tips while following your guides as this is my first time messing with Android and smart phones in general.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Welcome to the world of custom Android :)

I'm running that ROM in my phone and its great! You don't need to worry about a custom kernel, that ROM includes unikernel when you flash it.

If you root using CF Auto root or install a custom recovery then yes, you trip Knox. Its not a big deal and to get full customisation you pretty much have to.

Tripping Knox does mean when Samsung Pay is released you WILL NOT be able to use it, so think hard.

Odex means there is an odex file along side the apk for system files, an odex ROM is quicker to boot up and apps load faster.

De Odex means the idea file is part of the apk file so systems like this are much easier to theme (as you only edit the apk).

Basically if you're not too worried about theming then stick with odex ROM.

ROMs are very easy to swap and change yes.

Install a custom recovery (will trip Knox but it is mandatory if you're wanting to flash different ROMs) TWRP is good.

A kernel basically put it the bridge between your software and your hardware, it is the brains if you like.

Custom kernels allow things CPU over clocking and under volting. And lots of tweaks to boost performance or go the other way and help battery life.

A tip for a beginner: ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP IN RECIVERY IF YOUR CURRENT PHONE STATE.

This will get you out of trouble a lot. So many times you'll flash something or twaek something that will cause your phone to not function correctly or boot loop. If you have a back up of your last stable state you simply restore it in recovery. Simple :)

Good luck and have fun!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DIYmaster:
Thanks I don't really care about Samsung Pay that's for sure. I've been reading more about the Odex and Deodexed Mod and you have it covered pretty well but I also noticed XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod has some extra features such as:

★ 5-Way Reboot Menu

★ Removed High volume warning message

★ Removed Increasing Ringtone

★ All 3 animation speeds at 0.5 at default

★ Disabled Mobile Data toggle warning at default

★ No auto SMS -> MMS conversion with the Samsung messaging app

★ Optional: Alliance Framework v.3.1 (by [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION])

★ Optional: Remove ongoing keyboard switcher notification

★ Optional: 3Minit battery MOD

★ Optional: Center Clock

★ Optional: Modded Samsung Camera app to run even on low battery

★ Optional: Modded Samsung Messages app (to disable screen on when receiving message)

★ Optional: Disable Scrolling cache (smoother scrolling when content is for the 1st time on your screen, but a bit less smoother after the first time)

Am I correct to assume these are not on the Odex version? To be honest I think they are worth it even if I have to deal with a bit of slowness no? Which version did you install?

One more important thing, you said you tripped your KNOX which I don't mind but in the guide it says KNOX fully removed! So which one is true? Do you even still have it?

Oh yeah and final question, I didn't notice a guide for me 5.0.2. Is there one or do I need to force myself to update to 5.1.1. I hear 5.0.2 is easier and less hassle to do this job.

Thanks again

p.s I'm planning on doing my custom ROM over the weekend so I better make my choice and right decision fast :P

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlejonny17:
Nope. But if you do a complete wipe you'll lose everything that's on the internal SD.

No, a full wipe is wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Your internal storage isn't touched unless you specifically wipe it as well.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Are you worried about losing a TWRP backup or the actual recovery? If you wipe internal storage you'll lose everything that's on it, including any TWRP backup. But, no matter what you wipe inrecovery you'll never erase TWRP.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tijsje69:
And no system files will be deleted? So my phone works just fine?

Allright thanks for the answer!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Week of course system files will be deleted if you do a full wipe, because a full wipe entails wiping the system partition. Exactly what are you trying to do? Are you flashing a new ROM?

No just clean up my phone by only wiping my internal storage.

OK, so I got the same thing all of you did with the Amazon Appstore app/k... But I was able to get the WatchESPN app to work using the APK I downloaded from here: http://www.apk4fun.com/share/6916/

Of course, you will need need a mouse or keyboard w/ trackpad (which I use since other apps like Dish Anywhere also require the same thing), but at least I was able to play Live streams and clips after I provided my satellite provider's info...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaudiblex:
Yeah the "normal" phone/tablet version works. You can also download the newest apk from the play store. However, if you want a version that works with only the remote, only version available is the Fire TV version; this version does not work with any Android TV devices because of the DRM.

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063

It is important to know that in order to use root properly, as I found out the hard way, an unlocked bootloader is a must before trying to add a recovery or rom.

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547

The reason I say this is because I took the first update and then rooted.. This was bad.. Almost every attempt to unlock bootloader afterward failed.. Couldn't update. Couldn't factory rest. So what was I to do? Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo.. After hours of xda searching and kicking my own ass, I started to remember," hey I have a brain let,s look up Asus support for phones".. Sure enough in black and white I was saved.. Now mind you guys.. You will have to use adb or fastboot tools as almost all of these instructions require sideloading or fastbooting.. So as GP I downloaded all above updates and went through them all erasing one after the other once updated to conserve the 16gig version I'm using. So grab updates add to root of internal storage using PC and USB cable, pull from USB after downloading and Boom..Phone will auto recognize update hit install and your good..
