Generally you 'need to' update things when a new version is released because there are usually security enhancements that can be exploited with older firmware.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl81905:
Hi guys -

I'm somewhat a newbie here. I think I have bricked my Nexus 6. I had root and an unlocked bootloader. I had Chroma riom installed and was trying to go back to stock rom, unrooted with locked bootloader and through TWRP i deleted everything, including the OS I believe. So now my phone is locked on the Google startup screen (unlocked bootloader) . Suggestions?

Thanks -

John
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
if your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to fastboot clear cache and user data , then flash a rom from twrp. I would refrain from ever locking the bootloader back up since the update where you have to enable unlock bootloader in Dev Options.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadifreestyler:
me too I'm have Nexus 6 5.1.1 no recovery...except the bootloader that's locked Code: 2 , i can't unlock it, :( :( any solution !!?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
no you are bricked unfortunately. the unlock bootlader option in dev options really seems to have caused more issues then good.

I am wondering if Jtag will fix these devices?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Stop.

Read.

A lot.

You have an unlocked nexus with custom recovery installed, and you don't know what to do? You shouldn't be messing with this stuff. You lack VERY basic understanding. Read the stickies.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

Factory images. Follow their directions.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpl81905:
Thank you. I think.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown00:
The easiest way if you are not familiar with ADB is to download the nexus tool kit located on these forums from WUGFRESH. That tool will walk you through a step by step process on how to flash stock back. You are far from bricked. I have deleted my entire phone many a times and just re flashed stock back easily. As long as your boot loader is unlocked you are fine

Link to toolkit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

The option you are going to want to use is on the front of the toolkit called flash stock + un-root. You can watch some videos on his website as well for flashing stock. That is all you need to do :).

Any questions let me know, send me a PM :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It is not the easiest option. The easiest option is plug the USB cable in, boot to TWRP, enable MTP mode and copy a rom to the sdcard.

Also, many senior members here will discourage the use of toolkits for those who are not familiar with adb or fastboot. It is best to learn these and use them at least once before starting to use toolkits. Toolkits do not "walk you through". They take you through without explaining anything.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown00:
In a perfect world, I am sure we would all love to dive in and discover everything and be experts in all fields as time would not be a factor. I do not disagree it is helpful to learn ADB and fastboot commands and understand what they do. At this point in time though, the end goal here is to get his phone back up and running as fast as possible and then he can do the post-mortem to figure out what he did wrong and how to fix it :).

I am guessing hes not very familiar with TWRP since he wound up in this situation. The toolkit alleviates the need for knowledge and gets the job done. I'm sure after this, the OP will research how to use his phone before trying to do anything next.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
..but even so, your method is overkill. It is really simple to boot into TWRP and look in the menu for the "Enable MTP" option. Once that is done, the phone appears in "Computer" as an MTP device, just like when you boot into android. Then, simply dragging and dropping a ROM onto that device then flashing it via recovery will get him back up and running. There is nothing simpler or quicker than this.

Sorry, I do not intend to be confrontational here.

Our company finally moved from blackberrys to android and iphones.

So one guy already dropped his Note4 and cracked it horribly. Then said he never liked it and wants an iphone instead.

How can I go about repairing this screen as we do not have any warranty or insurance on them.

Since it's useless I get to keep it when fixed so nice perk there.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] bsinc1962:
Mine finally showed up today. Looks nice but without a phone to put in it tough to say how it will perform.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
Mine just came in too - 2 weeks earlier than the shipping statement said. Seems to be great build quality. Now just need a phone!

Nice that I can get an idea of the phone dimensions tho. Size is just small enough for me = very happy.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bsinc1962:
I'm coming from a G3 with an Incipio case on it and side by side the overall size is almost identical so getting used to the size won't be a problem. The 6p and the Moto X Pure while nice are just too big for the way I use my device.

Now I just need a phone, F5 F5 F5 F5...........
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bhulku123:
Anybody ordered this case for 6P but bought 5X? I had ordered and already received 5X case in Electric Blue but decided to buy 6P instead. We can exchange the case if interested. PM me please.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] FoleyRose:
I sent you a PM yesterday, did you read it?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SandmanEight:
Phone came today along with this case. FYI for anyone thinking of purchasing this case..... Don't. The outer bezel of the case is loose and makes it unusable. Thought maybe I just got a bad one, but look at the reviews on amazon, all having the same issue. It's a shame because this is a really nice looking case. Glad I only paid $2 for this.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] FoleyRose:
Really? I was actually looking for a way to get one in Canada, I might pass now.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SandmanEight:
Yeah, just look at all the amazon reviews posted today. I sent an email to Verus to see if they're going to be revising this case to fix the loose bezel. Really like the look, but it's useless in it's current state.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] MrCDWJR:
So disappointed in this case. What case are you gonna get now
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SandmanEight:
Ended up ordering the Adopted case from Google.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
Yep - I noticed similar. It's a little loose and not suitable for everyday usage. I plan to go naked most of the time and use it rarely when I think I might actually need it.... like a brewfest or something, haha. So, I think it'll be fine for me.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Jexx11:
Yeah this case is not very impressive at all, I don't have my phone yet but I can tell this case would be loose with the flimsy and it has. Glad I didn't pay more than $2 for it, so far my case of choice is still going to be my Ringke fusion case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SandmanEight:
Quick update... Got a reply from the seller. Ill be asking for a replacement, hopefully the issue gets fixed.

"We have looked into the issue and will be receiving a revised version of the model around next Wednesday and will be shipping maybe Thursday or Friday."
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
What did you do? Just complain to them via amazon? You should tell them to also include a mic hole on the next reissue.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SandmanEight:
I had just sent them an email through amazon asking if they were going to fix the bezel issue.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kellybrf:
my electric blue fits the phone perfectly, nothing's loose
[Nexus 5X Accessories] MrCDWJR:
But do you have a hole at the bottom next to the headphone jack? That was my biggest issue. They said I can get a refund or they can send me the new revised case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
so ive been out of the loop for a while (2-3 years) but decided to updated my old omega v34, boeflla kernel jellybean s3 to the one in my sig (essentially blisspop+boeflla 4 alpha 13+gapps lollipop).

i updated my boot manager to twrp as suggested. rebooted. i did a format data, folowed by delvik cache and cache wipe, then a system wipe. i then installed the rom and gapps, then rebooted. i was still on the old kernel at this point.

as i rebooted i experienced some hanging, and then after taking off the battery and rebooting and finishing the setup process, i rebooted and installed the latest lollipop boeffla kernel. i still got some hanging so i full wiped again and repeated the process of installing the rom/gapps. my modem as remained the same and i have not updated it since last i did 2012.

as of now, i am still experiencing some freezes, but not as frequent as before and some slowdown. is there something that i messed up or forgot to do in the installation? any help is greatly appreciated.

[MENTION=252973]rab1412000[/MENTION]412:

1. TWRP is a recocery, not a bootloader.

2. Maybe, you should update your firmware 1st. What modem is installed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
ddlj1 from 2012. i changed my gapps and its much more stable now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=252973]rab1412000[/MENTION]: then you had old 4.1-firmware and can be happy, that LP-ROM didn't refresh your modem. I recommend to go back to your old firmware. Make sure, that IMEI and net access are ok. Then update via KIES, OTA or Odin to newest 4.3. Backup this version and flash any ROM you want.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb3eugenio:
SONY XPERIA Z3 never rooted. Kitkat. 4.4.4 now loli. Before this happend my 64GB Micro SD card was corrupted. The phone can read it ang the pc can too, but you cant delete nor add files to the sd card. I decided to reformat it via pc , i used 3rd party apps and softwares but none of them worked!whenever I reformat it, I got a new folder with Hsjababbd(random characters) folder appearing. So I have to disable it and use another sd card. and then a couple of weeks later my WiFi and Bluetooth was disabled, the wifi doesnt turn on and I decided to factory reset it, it works again and after an hour the WIFi and bluetooth becomes dead again. A couple of resets and the Wifi and Bluetooth doesnt work again. A day after, my old photos comeback without internet connection. Was the back up normal or is it caused by the virus from the micro SD. I checked auto back but it is off. Was it normal to autoback up photos or not? If it is a virus, how can I treat it ? Please hep. Any suggestions are welcome

Hi itsvikki, welcome to XDA-Developers.

You might want to be a little more specific on what you want help with or you're probably not going to get much help. Also, use either the search on here or use google and search for the specific topics you want to learn about and I'm sure you will find lots of information on what you want to know. To make it a little easier, using google usually comes up with a lot more specific hits on what you're looking for on here than the search function on here does. I'm just telling you that because if you go through a few pages worth of threads here a see the ones with 0 replies, it's usually because it's something that there is a whole lot of information on here already that they could have just searched for but didn't so no one decided to help them out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmvvs1:
I have bought android chinese mobile phone and I need someone to guide me on how to install custom ROM on it. I have been searching for the last 4 days on all websites that support chinese clone phones trying to find a ROM for my phone but I have realized that my phone is not a clone of any other phone, it is simply chinese android phone without any brand name or private fake brand names.

The phone has the following specs:

Fabricante: G+ Modelo: S6 Chipset: MTK6595, CPU: 2.5GHZ Architecture: ARM Cortex-A7 Oct-Core, Ram: 4MB, Memory: 16MB , Android:4.4.3 (with lots of chinese apps) - Obs.: Antutu

I can install custom recovery and root the phone, this is not a problem at all. The problem I'm facing is finding a ROM for my phone. So, What I need is, just a ROM that will work on my phone. Since my phone doesn't belong to any brand name!

Q- Can I just flash any ROM of those chinese ROMS that are available on the internet for MTK6595 without changing the current kernel on the phone? as I believe all chinese phones that run same MTK chipset number has the same interface and everything else!

Q- Is there a universal ROM that can just be installed on any device without touching the kernel (just like installing windows on your computer)?

In your reply, please make sure your reply is detailed and don't make me guess steps in between.

Thank you

Does it any chance will work without superuser mod...

As stryder ported another system ui which doesn't require superusermod(same thread u linked) n that worked for me

I tried to enable superuser mod

Made necessary changes in services.jar

But problem is phone boots up normally but reboots after every 30-40 sec...

[Sony Cross-Device General] slipsystem:
Yes there is a chance. not sure if the Dailer will work properly though. I have added the No SuperUserMod SystemUI to the fixes section, because I notice the same thing on my AICP Build it wouldnt work with the z5 systemui. so I just flashed the SystemUI in the fixes. Mine booted and dailer worked but not properly.

my suggestion is try it. add SuperUserMod anyway even if its not working. then flash the SystemUI Fix.

If you do manage to port it please send me the 4 framework files from the guide and a link to your rom. I want to start putting flashable zips so people dont have to port it themselve they can check if it already ported yet.
