[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbooksta:
I think there's something wrong with that dz bootloader: It only ever offers to update [SD ZIP]. I have to physically remove the sdcard and delete the PCIMG10.zip after it runs its install cycle in order to get into recovery; it's impossible to get it to startup in any other mode that allows sdcard access.

After I do delete the PCIMG10.zip, reformat all but sdcard, and install the ROM (which appears to "succeed" suspiciously quickly) I get the boot loop problem again and have to pull the battery to get back into hboot....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Sounds like a bad download, check the md5sum to make sure its good
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbooksta:
Yes, MD5 matches that given in the post.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Maybe I misunderstood, so when when flashing the PC10IMG.zip through bootloader it works and changes your bootloader and then you remove the file off sdcard and you are able to get to recovery?

If that all is working then you are in good shape, try another ROM/gapps

Try a gingerbread ROM just to make sure you can get up and running.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbooksta:
Correct. So I just re-wiped and installed this Gingerbread kernel: http://elite-force.eu/elitemod/MOD_EliteKernel_120319.zip

It took a "reasonable" amount of time for 4ext to install that one.

But now it's doing the same boot cycling as before, though much faster than on the JellyBean kernel I previously tried :)?

Is there a known stable kernel I should be trying? Maybe I'm as bad at choosing kernels as I am at choosing women....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Haha,

Well a kernel alone won't help, you will need a kernel and a ROM (and probably gapps too)

Try cyanX, its a ROM I put together a few years back, its gingerbread based but has a lot of ICS and jb features back ported to it

Once we know that is working then move on to newer ones
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbooksta:
Ah ha: that does help! Putting a JB ROM on did the trick. For some reason in all my reading I didn't get the message that the ROM isn't part of the kernel....

Thank you for all your help!

I'd pay 40$ for a nice glass and metal back door if it didn't affect the phones profile at all. With a lot of people sticking with the note 4 I assume a lot of them would also be willing to spruce it up a bit. I've found one shady eBay seller with metal back doors but nothing else, it seems like an easy accessory to make that anyone who keeps their phone naked would like.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bonerp:
agree totally. I'd love a direct replacement. Not after carbon, but maybe just a different texture like the new moto x. Alternatively there are skins, but they are fragile.

I'm not upgrading (previously I've had every note model from pre order) so will stay with the 4 until something amazing is released. Was waiting for the LG G4 pro but if the v10 is what they release, I may avoid it. So customising my device would be good - with NFC!. I don't use a case so would appreciate anything offered - leather/wood/pattern etc. Quite liking the zenfone back!!!:silly:

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] galaxynote2:
Probably because of the Note 4 design, since top and bottom of it is not plain at all. It's a bit rounded and there's a little protuberance where the headphone jack is located. It's hard to imitate that design in a metal case (and impossible with glass). There're some metal back doors but most people who bought them are claiming that it doesn't fit very well in those areas indicated in the beginning of this reply.

This one is made of metal and tempered glass: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...est=201526_4,201527_1_71_72_73_74_75,201409_2

Looks nice, but it's a bit too thick to me. There's the same model but instead of a case it actually replaces the battery cover (you have to take it off first to put the case on it) that fits perfectly in the phone and is much more thinner, but I can't find it atm.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] IndyRoadie:
Not sure how "nice" these are, but there are a few out there..

You will not find a glass battery door (back cover) because it needs to flex when you remove the cover. If it were glass it would shatter after several attempts. As for a metal battery door, it would kill reception.

There's hundreds of battery doors for the Note 4 on Amazon. There's brushed metal, wood, etc.

Hello friends:

Yesterday (09/16/2015) I received an update notification for Nexus 6 lollipop. It doesn't indicate what the version is, but is 26.8Mb in size.

Since I run a rooted stock ROM (and TWRP recovery manager), I won't be able to apply it.

Does anyone know about this latest update and whether someone has already created a pre-rooted, no-decryption version if it,... as they in the past?

Developer 'fhem' created the last one (i.e. the release the fixed StageFright).

I reply on these helpful builds. :)

Thank you!

Flashed m preview three last night and then manually installed the google app 5.3.19.19 that allows on tap functionality. Contextual questions asked to ok google work fine, but manually tapping the home screen to open now on tap just displays "Google now cant be reached at the moment".

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottoman1384:
Same here. Not sure what to do. I tried disabling root from superusersu with no success. Some people are saying to disable xposed but I havent tried that yet.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Element515:
Yeah, I got it to work on my rooted n7, but not my phone. First it was a network error that I solved by uninstalling play services, but now it can't see the android software type or whatever.

Disabling root maybe doesn't work for us because of using a rooted rom? Idk how that works...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Yes, disable Xposed.

O\I'm on a Lg G3 with a custom rom and disabling Xposed and then disabling/hiding root allowed me to add cards.

Once that was done I put root and xposed back and used the cloak module.

Now I can use pay but can't add new cards unless I disable Xposed and root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legato89:
I just uninstalled Xposed and unchecked the box in SuperSU and it didn't work. I restarted to be sure, and I tried using the RootCloak module in Xposed.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heinous:
I don't know what xposed is, and I'm pretty sure I'm not using it, so that might not be it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legato89:
Just curious if you used kingroot. I did and I think it may be why even though I disable root it's still not working.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heinous:
I think I did, actually. It was the only method available at the time for the T Mobile Z3s.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
That could be it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heinous:
Well, that sucks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legato89:
Actually, I hadn't fully uninstalled Xposed. I also used Kingroot, but used one of the flashable zips to install xposed, which I needed to use the uninstaller zip to completely remove. Once xposed was properly uninstalled and SuperSU was disabled in settings I was able to set up Android Pay.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heinous:
Tried again and it allowed me to add a card while SuperSU was disabled.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] rhbmcse:
Huawei Honor 4x first time root without losing stock ROM and current config / apps

Hi.

I have requested my unlock code for the bootloader from Huawei.

When I unlock my boot loader using ADB will this cause the phone to reset to factory default or will it retain my existing configuration?

I am quite happy with the phone as it is but I would like to be able to install some of my root apps such as Titanium Backup, Juice Defender etc

Is this possible to do without breaking the existing ROM and my current configuration?

I dont want to load a custom ROM and lose my current factory stable setup.

Many thanks.

Rob.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] krcenov:
Unlocking the bootloader will not reset your phone it will just make it possible to install custom recovery.

If you unlock the bootloader that doesnt give you SU/Root access it just makes rooting possible.

Highly recommend backing up your data , you never know!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JohnnySJ:
I just saw Amazon's announcement for the new Fire Tablet lineup, and was very happy to see that the rumors where true, and the new version of Fire OS (5.0 Bellini) is a lot more close to standard Android than ever before. However, i am very worried because after looking all over the internet for a list of supported devices, i found this quote in the Amazon Developer Program page:

"Our new tablets ship with Fire OS 5, with features coming to the 4th generation Fire tablets (released in 2014) as part of free, over-the-air Fire OS updates later this year."

I trully hope that this is a mistake, since at least the HDX 3rd gen (2013) lineup of Fire devices actually have significantly better specs that this new 2015 models. In fact, the 2 Fire devices that i own (Fire Phone & Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 2013) and the ones that i have given as a gift (Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and HD7 2013), have specs that should allow them to run the new Lolipop based OS.

I am not a developer, just a trully grateful XDA fan, and i was wondering if the worst case scenario becomes real, and none of those devices are oficially supported, how realistically possible would be to develop a custom Fire OS 5 rom for them, now that Fire OS is way closer to stock Android? I remember that back in 2011, a gentleman made a great custom rom for the Original Kindle Fire. The name if im not mistaken was "Modaco Custom Rom".... Would something like that be possible now? Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bigboolean:
I just got off the phone with Amazon Customer Support, and it's too early for them to release a full device list. I hope my Fire HDX 7 can get Fire OS 5, it would be odd if there isn't any support for it since Amazon's new line of Tablets are underpowered compared to the HDX versions. But why would they make them all 720p?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JohnnySJ:
I would assume that screens are probably one of the most expensive parts in a smartphone or tablet, so in order to sell them at that price, screen resolution/quality has to be sacrificed. Also, the higher the resolution, the stronger the specs that are needed to run the device. So the price would go even higher.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Lukebluetiger:
I hope it will be on 2013 models, this is a big update and it even has wallpapers
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ms207:
Yes I hope the OS 5 update comes to my 3rd gen HDX 8.9 soon. To deny that the update would be perverse and show that Amazon is not taking its tablets seriously in the sense of wanting to encourage users to treat them as something more than just a cheap Amazon content consumption device. The HDX was sold as a serious tablet and potential competitor to the iPad, etc. and yet I keep getting iOS updates for my old iPad 2 (which I am not so stupid as to try to install) but not the latest Fire OS for my 3rd gen HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Amazon discontinued the 7" HDX models and seems poised to do the same with 8.9" models given they are no longer presented as an option or in comparison tables when performing a generic search. Regardless of how they were originally marketed Amazon now recognizes cheap/disposable devices are the pathway to clicks and purchases. Gotta remember Amazon's real motivations for producing hardware. If the effort to bring FireOS 5 to legacy devices exceeds the marketing potential it won't happen. BTW - Fire Phone falls into the same category.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ms207:
But at least with the Fire Phone you can have a selection of wall papers, including your own photos, instead of just the black background you get with the 3rd gen HDX 8.9 and if they will offer Fire OS 5 to the 4th gen HDX - also not shown in the comparison tables - why not the 3rd gen HDX?

When I spoke to Amazon recently about a possible replacement for my HDX which had suddenly stopped working a few months out of warranty, they were offering me a 3rd gen replacement but with no more than 15-20% max discount. Unlike Apple who replaced my old iPad 2 a year or so ago with an identical model for just £5 more than their quoted cost for replacing its battery!

Unfortunately this approach does show, as you indicate, that Amazon have little interest in the devices themselves so long as they can still download content. Since it wouldn't seem to involve too much additional cost to make all their tablets Fire OS 5-able and that would interest consumers who don't want to double up on their non-Amazon use and Amazon tablets, I don't get their reluctance/lack interest in this regard.

I have seen exactly the same lack of interest from Amazon with regards to my Fire Phone (fortunately bought cheap in a sale). It doesn't have "Newstand" (and will only offer books and docs in the Kindle reading app on it) so all the Kindle magazine subscriptions that I have and can read on my iPhone, I cannot read or access on my Fire Phone! Amazon have been looking into this problem for me since June when I first bought the Fire Phone but have clearly given up on it and in fact have told me to stop chasing them about it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Boils down to a simple business decision regardless how 'easy' it might be. When the HDX first came out I saw a tear down that suggested they were barely covering costs at the list price (I'm sure margins improved over time). Amazon gambled higher end devices would generate more revenue. Their latest strategy suggests the data proved otherwise following successful release of the HD 6 at a sub $100 USD price point. If I were making the call I probably would not allocate much resource to a discontinued product line that isn't generating copious clicks. Just say'in (hope I am wrong!).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ms207:
Understand what you are saying and, like you, I hope we're wrong. Still surprised (and disappointed) that Amazon don't see the comparison that will be drawn on this issue with Apple and others, especially for something as basic as the features offered by Fire OS 5. Certainly my experience with the HDX (which was an expensive tablet -£420) and now the Fire Phone will mean I won't be buying any more Amazon "mobile" devices but will rely on the Amaxon apps for Apple/Android devices. You then wonder why they bother investing time and effort into their devices? Perhaps it really is that people will buy them and then start buying Amazon content they wouldn't have with any other devices? I wonder?
