You are following the old TWRP method Dude.

Follow the latest one and then flash a stock rom and check if the problem persists.

Unlock the bootloader too. To flash roms and permanent TWRP.

Tell us if any luck.

I got it working finally after I was able to flash boot and droid boot and then installed Barebones and it finally booted. I'm probably going to leave it alone for now.

I was just wondering, is it possible to use the OS files from the CE 6.0 trial release and use it on the wizard? Probably a stupid question to ask though...

If it is possible, I have the CE 6.0 trial for someone to port though I'm guessing many of you already have this.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
ehhhh, you are not alone in matter...

some system files form winCE are useable in general , but nothing crucial, just some apps...

in other words i am curious too...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ND4SPD:
do you have C.E 6 or do you want me to give it to you? that is if you want to work on it of course

also, can you give me examples? would it mostly be the stuff that comes default in the SYS folder if you use the package tool on the rom?(games, remote desktop, windows update,etc.)

thanks

Post it someplace. I'd like to dump it out and take a look at it. Not sure I have time to really convert it right now but I"M sure someone might...

here is the link: ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com\Upload\C.E. 6.zip

link is working now

the only thing is, it isn't in the format you might expect. Or maybe it is. You will need VC++ on your computer and .NET framework 2.0. I don't know VC++ so I haven't even tried messing with it yet. That could change in a little while though.

just for good measure, i threw in the ce 6.0 platform builder sp1. please tell me if you need any other resources.

good luck!

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I've downgraded to KitKat twice with Odin.

The first time my phone force updated it was cause I had my phone off for awhile I turned it on and it began the update process.

WTF

Then the second time I kept ignoring and dismissing their update messages and it forced rebooted and updated to lolipop.

basically....

The second time though I didn't get any updates because I had use [MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION] debloater app

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

but after using kingroot to root my phone (cause I wanted to use titanium backup pro)

Somehow it removed the update block from gatesjunior debloater app and my phone upgraded to lollipop BEFORE i could backup my apps and data, settings in titanium backup pro:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I'm currently using a Nexus 5, on stock android 5.1. I'm starting to have a few problems with it, the GPS is slow at best, battery life just gets me through the day, and i'm running low on space at 16Gb.

In my job I have been given a Windows phone for work, What i'd like to do is buy a Dual-Sim device so I can go back to carrying 1 device. I've been looking around and been quite impressed with the chinese offerings. The top phone on my list are the -

Ulefone Touch Be 2

Elephone P8000 (unable to post links)

So far, The features i'm looking for are dual sim (obviously) good camera, expandable storage & good GPS.

There are so many phones to choose from these days im just not sure what to choose.

Thanks In advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
What model Huawei?
[General Questions and Answers] jithinjj:
You can try one plus two 64gb.

Its the best. 25,000 rs. Better than nexus
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
I would really like that but its out of my budget.
[General Questions and Answers] jithinjj:
Try one plus one. Nw u can buy for 15000-18000 rs range.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
it has to be optimized!

Before you buy a Ulefone, Elephone, Umi ... or any of these cheap Chinese brands. Please be aware that they do not optimize their Android OS!

This means, you may get worse performance as you had on your Nexus 5. I would say before you buy one of these brands, stick to your old Nexus 5.

If you want a good quality phone with optimized Android Rom on it, that offers good performance with a pretty good camera.

Get one of the following barnds only!

Oppo

Huawei

Xiaomi

Meizu

What is your budged btw? If a good camera is important to you, really stay away of not optimized Anrdoid!

All other small Chinese brands, put truly crappy not optimized Android on their devices!
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
Thanks for the info, I'm looking at about $200 - $250 Max.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
That's a good price range, to start from.

You could check out the best prices if you want to at: kimovil . com

within this price range you could get, all of the following are dual sim:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (only oppomart has it in stock right now) ~150$

Xaomi Mi4i ~220$

Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML ~200$

Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML ~260$

Meizu M2 Note 16GB ~150$

Huawei P8 Lite ~250$

I didn't list the following brand, but it's still a decent device:

Jiayu S3 (3GB version) ~180$

ZTE Nubia Z9 mini ~250$

The listed phones are just examples. All of them have their own downs and ups.

Meizu and Xiaomi are heavy skinned Android phones, they might remind you to iOS. I love my Xiaomi Mi4i, but it´s not for everyone.

I do assume that after using the true stock Android of your Nexus 5, you might want to stick to a phone that gets at least to close to stock Android.

So if you want the normal Android, you would have to go for the Asus Zenfone or the Huawei P8 Lite.

The Asus is more powerful but might not get an update, because it features an Intel SoC. The Huawei on the other hand has a weak SoC compared to the ASUS Zenfone 2.

It comes down to what you prefer, what would you use the phone for?

Do you want stock Android, do you want a phone that is at least as good as your Nexus 5 is, or are you willing to compromise just to have dual sim phone?

Within the price range of 200$ to 250$ there is a lot of good stuff to choose from.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
That's some great info, thanks for taking the time to help me out. I was hoping someone in the know would be able to shed some light on this for me. I've been looking for a few weeks.

The idea is to replace my current personnel Nexus 5 and works Windows Lumia 635 (Rubbish), so thats what the Dual Sim is needed for. Then I like to use it to take photos on when I'm out with family and travelling for work, Im reasonably satisfied with the Nexus's camera so I'm not looking for a DSLR replacement but something competent. Then when I travel I use it for GPS to get around in Europe and the US. Next is to play music in the car so expandable storage for music and apps. 4G connectivity. Then for work emails etc. i think thats it really.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
regarding good GPS signal you would have to stay to Qualcomm or Intel SoC's, those devices paired with a good brand are a save call.

For what you do the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 16GB chinese Version with dual sim and micro SD Card should be good enough. It's a big 5.5 inch phone.

It has the MIUI7 on it, it will be a completely different Android experience. There are no reviews about the GPS quality and the phone uses a fast MTK SoC, it is hard to say how good it is, usually Xiaomi places really good antennas in their phone, but as of now there is no review of it.

The battery is average ~3000mhA thing, paired with the Octa Core it will last for a day and maybe a bit more, should be better than the Nexus 5.

Advantage: it's cheap, it's Xiaomi so great quality with great support.

Downside: it has MIUI7 on it a very heavy Android modification.

You could get it for about 150$ from many different pages or straight from oppomart a bit more expensive.

The Asus Zenfone both version the 2GB/4GB is really good specification wise. The 4GB Ram version is just overkill, in my opinion.

The build quality is good, the performance is great. The only downside would be the battery life and the camera, neither is horrible bad.

GPS should be fine.

You could get the 2GB Version from pandawill for 210$ and the 4GB is at gerabest for 240$

Worth mentioning, not all dual sim phones support the full speed on both slots, as of now only the Xiaomi Mi4i has 4G net on both sim card slots!

The Redmi Note 2 and the Asus Zenfone 2 are 5.5" devices

If you want a pretty nice powerful device without a micro SD card extension, at 5" you could consider to get the Xiaomi Mi4i, the only downside of it is that a optical camera stabilization is missing. I don't see this as a problem, as I do make loads of pictures and it rarely bothers me, but it is worth to be mentioned.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
I'm pretty sure i looked at the Redmi Note 2 previously, but didn't think it support expandable storage so dismissed it.

I understand most only support 4G on 1 sim this is fine. Also the size of 5.5 although is a little bigger than the Nexus I'm fine with it but would be the limit.

I also looked at the Zenphone but the camera put me off.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
The Chinese 16GB Version has a microSD extension slot you just have to find one. I read on gearbest that they sell this version with 16GB and microSD slot, but it's hard to say if they provide the right information.

If you don't need the extra performance, the Zenfone might be the wrong phone.

You could also consider the Jiayu S3 3GB Version (or Jiayu S3 Advanced), some people like the phone! It is available for about 180$

It's a really good all-rounder with amazing GPS and a pretty good camera

Search on youtube for a review of the Jiayu S3 by ITXtutor, it should cover all you want to know about the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
If i could push the budget to $300 what could you recommend? Im from the UK too.

Meizu MX5? Just found out no SD :( and the 32gb is closer to $400..
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
Haha yeah :) I would have recommended the MX5, I had the MX4 Pro for a bit and that was an awesome phone! But yeah the 32GB Version retails for about 390$

The Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90, has only a SD 615, an awesome camera dual Sim and a SD Card Slot. the 32GB is around 300$.

At leats in my Xiaomi Mi4i I have no trouble with this SoC, in daily use it doesn't get hot or anything, I am not a gamer so it's a great SoC for my needs.

The Huawei P8 Lite ships with the same SoC for 240$, it's worth a thought too. I would probably go for this one. The only downside I know about is the screen brightness, it could be better and I am not sure if it has Android 5 by now.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
Could you recommend where to purchase the Lenovo Vibe from? its not on oppomart.
[General Questions and Answers] Spardha:
Ive been looking at the one+two and i think that is the phone i really want.. the OS is more what I'm used to the hardware is up there, the only downside i can see would be the price for the 64gb model. Im going to see if I can purchase via my work and if need be pay some towards it.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
yes that is the best thing to do!

There are two version of the Vibe Shot the Z90-3 and Z90-7, the -7 is more expensive, but supports the right bands to be used outside of japan/china!

aliexpress would have the Z90-7 for 330$, but it's always a bit risky to buy from aliexpress
[General Questions and Answers] NapoleonWilson:
Can I access google play/google services on this phone if I purchase and use it in China?

I know my GF's phone cannot install google play store app (Huawei Ascend Y511).
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
yes there are a lot of threads about this topic in the official Xiaomi MIUI Forum. Link: en.miui.com

Have a look there and you will find all you need to know :)

If they release the device globally or in India, it will get a ROM with google installed per default. Xiaomi makes no difference between their devices.

Rom download page: http://en.miui.com/download

Like I have the Indian/global version of the Xiaomi Mi4i and can install the official Chinese ROM or the global ROM, as I like.
[General Questions and Answers] NapoleonWilson:
Would you recommend any 5inch phones in the $150 dollar region?

5.5 is just a little too big for me.
[General Questions and Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
hmm 5 inch is hard, I would recommend you the Xiaomi Mi4i, it has amazing build quality and the well supported MIUI, but it costs ~230$

So I will recommend you a Siswoo phone, they sell some nice 5inch things and are a good brand that stands for decent quality, do some research and ask if you want more details.

can someone help me :( ?

thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madpb:
I started with a fresh non altered I747m. The first thing I had to do was carrier unlock (PetroCAN sim) and then rooted the phone.

I pretty sure i did a cfroot and installed the newest pacman rom and all worked- just no internet ( the phone and texting worked) so I played with the APN for a while then decided to try a couple of MODEM zips (Rogers and AT&T) and flashed those in CWM.

Downhill fro there- No more SIM, no baseband- no IMEI no APN- could not even create an APN.

Tried diferent 511 ROMS (DU).

so then I did the even more stupid thing and retored the original NANDroid backup and now it is really bad- stuck on the samsung logo.

I did write down the IEMI number and I did check the baseband version (i did the check in like a dos screen on the phone) I747mluf0b1

What should I do now>?? i would be happy to return it all back to stock I really screwed this phone up bad

note: I did do a full nandroid backup before updated to 511 but i saw that there was no EFS folder (an this was when everything was working correctly)

So i think i the phone is toast..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you running the latest modem and bootloader?

I suggest you use Odin to flash the latest stock rom for your phone from sammobile.com to see of them either comes back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madpb:
I downloaded the correct i747m bell stock version that matches the buildprop I747MVLUFOB1

It is now in a softloop 'SAMSUNG' and sits.

it just came back up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you get the phone working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madpb:
That got it!!! YEAH!! I been working on this phone for days. All of a sudden the STOCK ROM is the best rom ever!!! hehe
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you have to restore to stock in the future, it is best to uncheck auto reboot in Odin. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the usb cable, remove battery, replace batter, boot into stock recovery, and perform a full wipe. This helps to prevent the boot loop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Installed 5.1.1 on my 910C thinking It will fix everything at least not asking for extra features but I was so appointed. The phone STILL vulnerable to "Stagefright" I don't know what does this update include but it seems like everything is same as before. Picture takes 3-4 sec to show after shooting, performance is sh!t compare to my Tab S2 which has the same processor but the note 4 lags like hell. Its great to note that its a fresh installation not just an upgrade over odin and root doesn't work anymore. Guess have to wait!

Thought I will share what I found so far. Will update after all apps done installation to see if anything changes.

Update:

Recent app very fast

Antutu score 46k

Ram used 1.4GB

Root doesn't work

Regards

Yathani
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravijani:
thats what i hate about samsung.

late update.

no new features

no 64bit support

treating s6 and s6 edge like they are only flagships. :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Im very satisfied with the update for now. Performance is excellent. I prefer this update rather than a fail software like they give for s6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
I would love to show you the performance of the Tab S2 which has the same internal. I'm pretty sure you will change your opinion after that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
my s6 edge sucks with better hardware no thanks. according to an app from playstore stagefright fix is included in 5.1.1. it said not vulnerable
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
S6 scores 70k on Antutu and its launcher fly compare the note 4. I used to have the S6 and its much much faster than note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravijani:
i believe s6 will get marshmallow in 3 months of 6.0 release so maybe they can solve issues plaguing s6 and s6 edge like lags and battery.

while note 4 was always maybe most hated device from them since its launch.

imagine 5.1.1 a small update from 5.0.1 took 4 months :/

marshmallow is just dream to get before march 2016.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
nope. and im sure antutu score is totaly wrong 10k cpu score is just joke and no other cpu benchmark supports it. and i have s6 edge atm and note 4 exynos both are almost same for me on everything app opening browsing etc. and s6 edge has has worst multitasking experience ever. i still think note 4 software is way better.

ps:i use nova launcher on both
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
You have defective unit then. My wife has S6 edge and its fast compare to my note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
maybe you have defective note 4 then? its my 2nd s6 edge its replaced by samsung before.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
The galaxy s 6 is way way way faster than the note 4 stop making up bull****. My friend has it on 5.1.1 and I and a number of friends have note 4 the s6 absolutely destroys the note in every single category his s6 has never even lagged once
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:

[MENTION=6026904]Yathani[/MENTION]: Your Tab S2, does it run 64 bit Android?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
Surprisingly no. This is the first thing i checked after I saw that the Tabs S2 is very very smooth compare to my note 4. I had a high hope that they figured out how to optimize the internal and will see the same on the note 4 soon, but that wasn't the case. I think note 4 need its software to be recreated or Android M will fix it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] thedarkmunk:
At least you guys have 5.1.1 lol all of the N910F users (like me) are just going to sit and cry haha
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
nothing changed .. same phone nothing added nothing gained. only number looks cooler 5.0.1 vs 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @rbiter:
All I gotta say is the note4 multitasks better, rather switches apps faster and better. The ram management on the s6/edge/nope5/edge can suck it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Artoriuz:
Compared to a SD810 Note 4 you might be right. Exynos 5433 and 7420 are very close in terms of CPU, the real difference between the two is the GPU power.

The Note series has a different developer team than the S-series, and they're way better. You can expect the Note 5 FW to be better than the S6's.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @rbiter:
People are comlaining about the Nope5 ram management also. So now what?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Hate to break it to you but I don't think Android M will bring improvement after Samsung packs in all the modded KK code they have been using for TW. It's been proven that AOSP builds are lightening fast while the same version of android on TW is as sluggish as a cheap $60 android phone.

maybe you need full wipe aswell? cpu usage randomly goes high for me but i havent noticed a constant lag. but i havent wiped myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mudur1998:
most of us,waited 5.1.1 .ask to yourself what we expected(hoped) and what we have meet,,what we were expecting the resolution of the problems on note 4 by 5.1.1 and what was necessary to be changed by 5.1.1 ,what we found.

I expected new touchwiz,themes,maybe activation of 64 bit architecture,...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NamelessFragger:
This makes me wonder if the Exynos Note 4s benefit much less from the 5.1.1 update than the Snapdragon ones do, and in turn how Samsung could've cocked this one up.

5.1.1 was the best thing to ever happen on my Note 4, but I have a Sprint variant with an S805. Big hardware difference there, and the perceived performance jump was bigger coming from 5.0.1 and that damn GPU driver issue that made it perform worse than KitKat 'til 5.1.1 rolled around.

As for official software updates that aren't part of the base Android version? We all know Samsung by now, they never do that.

The S3/Note 2 and S4/Note 3 never got the S5/Note 4 rendition of TouchWiz in their respective KitKat versions, the S5 and Note 4 in turn never got S6-style TouchWiz with Lollipop, and I'm pretty sure Samsung only withholds software features like that to try and sell people on new phones, knowing full well the average buyer isn't as savvy as us XDA folk when it comes to porting newer ROM features back to older devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
