[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimzoulias:
A bit of help please

Greetings all.

Thank you for all your amazing work, helping us unlock the potential of our devices.

Now to my issue:

I just purchased an HTC Nexus 9 WiFi model. I have absolute no experience in rooting whatsoever. I carefully read everything in this thread, however i am a bit confused yet and would love a bit of assistance before rooting my device.

So:

1. When i boot into recovery, i have a pink *** Device State - LOCKED ***. Is that significant before rooting? Then, it says FLOUNDER PVT SHIP HBOOT-3.48.0.0135 OS-n/a eMMC-boot 2028MB Jul 23 2015. So...i am confused what TWRP to download.

2. When i go to "about your tablet" (or something) it says:

a. I have the April 2 security update.

b. The kernel is 3.10.40g7949505.

c. The edition no is MOB30D.

I also know it is encrypted (Saw it somewhere).

So,

a. How would i go about rooting? Is MOB30D rootable? Havent found a modified file for that, but since i am not conident enough, i might have overlooked something.

b. What do i do about the LOCKED and encrypted statuses?

Thank you in advance.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
I'll answer B first. Since your device is locked, you will need to unlock it first.

On your device enable "OEM unlock" in developer options (Tap "build" in about a few times, to make it available).

In fastboot mode(with device attached to PC) issue this command "fastboot oem unlock". Which will wipe your device of data and apps.

For A: -

You need to flash TWRP, or temporarily boot it ("fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>").

From TWRP flash the latest SuperSU zip.

You don't need a modified boot as supersu will modify the device accordingly when flashed.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttw1fa:
Thanks for this tutorial!

I followed it, and have a problem free so far (knock on wood) unlocked and rooted Nexus 9. Then installed the ElementalX kernel (and got the official app). Got the N9 last week (used, eBay). It was stock, but updated OTA to 6.0.1 (mob30d). 32gb wifi model. Not entirely a noob with rooting and ROMS, having done it a number of times on HTC M8s and M9s, but new to the Nexus 9. Lots of reading/researching so far....but still have a couple questions. Thinking of moving on to a custom ROM (pure nexus or maybe CM13 unofficial).

I probably still need to actually FLASH the TWRP recovery file, as the process I did was just fastboot boot <recovery.img>? Correct? And...then do a TWRP backup.

Then....if I go to a custom rom (say Pure Nexus)....is it just a case of downloading that custom rom, and installing via TWRP (like I do with my M9)? And reboot? Or...is it the process of flashing a 6.0.1 vendor image (specific to mob30d), then the Custom Rom, a gapps package, the kernel, and rebooting? What about the encrypted partition? This is the N9 specific process I'm unsure of with all the information I'm reading....just want to do it right the 1st time and not have to deal with issues.

Thanks for any and all insight!

[MENTION=5834551]sttw1fa[/MENTION] Haven't tried custom roms in a while, couldn't get a successful gapps install with them, so gave up.

Maybe look in the specific roms threads for more help on using them.

Using ROMS is beyond the scope of this rooting thread.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimzoulias:
Thank you for your reply. It made things quite clear!

However it led me to ask 3 more questions:

1. Is there a way to root without a wipe?

2. How do subsequent updates affect rooting?

3. What do i need to do, in case i need to unroot/return to stock?

Thank you in advance.

Dimitris
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
1. No.

2. OTA updates will probably fail, unless you keep system unmodified/untouched and use flashfire app to apply them.

3. Flash a Factory Image. Once you have unlocked the bootloader, then Flashing Factory Images can be done without wiping data.

Android Security Bulletin—May 2016

Factory Images are now available.

6.0.1 (MOB30G)

My device is on Android N-DP2, so could someone confirm if root still working with this version?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taomyn:
Are you sure MOB30G is the May update? The files inside are dated 19th April, whereas the version MMB30G for the Nexus 6 are dated 29th April and after loading them onto my N6 say the security update is "1 May 2016". I really wish Google made these files clearer and included date information on their website.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
Pretty certain, what other files would google release on the first Monday of the month.

The updates would have been created in April and released to OEM's during that month.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taomyn:

hi my friend is bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock rom, and elementx kernal.

he accidentally took the OTA, now its just going straight to TWRP recovery, what should I do to get it back into the OS.

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
The OTA shouldn't have installed unless he used flashfire to apply it.

To recover from that he may need to flash the factory image, (can be done without wiping data).

Alternatively a factory reset from the bootloader might resolve the problem (Will wipe data).
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetsuhito:
hi evry one

Since i update my N9 to Mob30g

Twrp won't work correctly

I'can't instal 3.0.2.0, the only on i can use is 3.0.0.0

I'm try to root with the su sytemless and Elemental

Strange that TWRP is not functioning. You might get more help in the TWRP thread.

You could try a factory reset from bootloader mode instead of from within TWRP.

Also try flashing factory images.

So on my Nexus 9. I had previously rooted the device and installed the FIRE ICE kernel.

Then I flashed the latest OTA using FlashFire, after which I reflashed FIRE ICE again.

Now I've lost root and can't get it back, even using the instructions in the OP.

Is there another method I can try?

Thanks.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
Flash Stock Boot image again.

Use CFAR Method to root.

Once hopefully working, use flashfire to flash your custom kernel.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinzy:
Will that wipe my data if i flash the stock boot image?

Although I suppose it doesn't really matter now. I wanted to keep my Kingdom Rush Frontiers save data but after trying to manually root using the adb shell, I seem to have deleted it! Oddly enough, nothing else is wiped, just that one game!! So weird! I literally didn't touch it!! :eek:
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkiejp:
Just flashing the stock boot.img and not the full factory image will not wipe data.

(even flashing the factory image can also be done without wiping data).

The boot image is also known as your kernel, which you probably have altered with incorrect flashing of your custom kernel.

Just using the CFAR method might work with your current status, but better to start with a clean boot image.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinzy:
Ah I've bloody gone and wiped everything! :(

At least I've root back now. Or at least until next months OTA anyway...

I was saddened when Google didn't announce the Nexus 7 2012 to get Marshmallow, but I want to be on the newest version of Android. When are the ROMs coming?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostinrags:
Have you had any success with lollipop on your 7'12? Mine is totally useless, cannot work due to lag and freezing when on L, and I doubt M works any better. The '12 really wasn't to last as long as we've used ours. It's still a decent tab with KK installed and not asking too much from it. I doubt M will come out way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagl0312:
I agree...

I think the last usable ROMs working decently on N7 2012 where those base on android 4.4.4, so I don't even plan to try any M based ROM on it :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gk1984:
I think there is something seriously messed up on the '12 Lollipop. It runs great after the initial boot. Hell, even with apps. Then it comes to a crawl after a few days. If you run Trim, it whips back into a performing tab for a short while again. I'm hoping to at least try Marshmallow on my '12. If there is something really messed up as I think, I hope M fixed it. My Nexus 6 runs much better on M than it did L - yes, I know different hardware but things seem more efficient from the software side.

I looking to buy tablet that the main use of it will be watching movies (not online watching). At a max of 200$ ordering online.

After about a week of searching I got to 3 tablets that I not sure with one will be best for me.

Pipo W3f

Chuwi V10HD

Onda v102w

I need that the tablet will run 720p, 1080p movies smoothly and good screen.

That it will support as much memory as possible (v102w stands to support 128gb SD card).

Good battery and charge via USB to USB cable like smartphone (to charge the tablet from the car)

Will be able to support if possible external drive of 250-500GB or disk-on-key and read movies directly from the drive. It's what OTG therefor if I not mistake.

And that the tablet will be well build because most of the use will be done outdoors or in a car.

If you think there is a tablet that better or cheaper that will get me my needs you welcome to recommend.

Thank you.

Hi

I am currently on Emotroid ROM, but would like to revert back to stock ROM. How do I do that?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zionator:
Ja en Dansker, der er bare dejligt ?

OK so you will need to head over to samfirmware and download the stock rom for Denmark and if newest rom is for some other country then you can download that as well.

Once you have downloaded your desired firmware then you will need to flash it with odin.

Just remember that if the new stock rom has a different bootloader and modem then what you have now then you'll need to download and flash those as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwiiiich:
Stock Nexus 6 (from Play Store) on T-Mobile; 5.1.1

I recently received an update on my phone (maybe a week or two ago) and I'm thinking it was a stage fright fix. I'm also thinking this update has now blocked the APN settings (and various others) in the "More/Cellular Networks" area.

All I have is the "Data Roaming" option. Nothing else. Anyway to get this back? I've tried the secret dialer and that did not work.

Could this be a stagefright fix causing this? The only other major change has been I've swapped my T-mobile SIM to Project Fi SIM, and back. My phone works perfectly except now that APN settings have vanished...

Long story short: I used the APN settings on my phone for my girlfriends (unlocked LG G4) as once T-mobile set it up, she couldn't access more than 3G. Once I changed the APN, it worked flawlessly... that is until she gets updates on her phone and it resets it. Well, she got an update this morning on her phone. Now she can't get ANY data to work and I fear her APN settings might be blocked as well (she's not home from work yet).
