Funny how they say "accepted" - also this tirade is old. If the members of XDA are capable of doing the amazing things they do. There's no reason it takes these large companies months to do simple software updates. Stop supporting these type of companies is my solution. At least with iPhone you get your update not the iPhone 6s gets it before the 6s plus

If you are going to compare things please compare properly. Did the Google line get the updates? Yes they did. That's who you compare to Apple. There are way too many android phones out there from different companies with different gpu tdifferent overlays and different chips, etc. to make it just push a button and everybody gets it.

I would have to agree with the aBovey post maybe you are in the wrong place or just need to read and understand a lot better.

Xda users are tinkers geared at their curiousity, company like tmobile and samsung run a billion dollar company gear at satisfying 99.9% of their company, not the 0.1% found on xda.. cause you know..they ain't here to satisfy us and actually got a company to run.

You can't compare them to Apple given, Samsung and their system is build upon android and no one build upon iOS.

Bad comparison all around is what I'm saying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bipoler:
I can do whatever I want actually.

I didn't need anyone to agree with my opinion. My point isn't to satisfy XDA, I don't even root or ROM. But regardless to satisfying the business, it shouldn't take months for a software update. Period.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mgbotoe:
It shouldn't....but it does. Perhaps give t-mobile a shoutout and samsung. Sometimes they actually tells you what is taking so long ^.^

Beside...we already got android M, who cares how long it takes them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
This comparison always kills me. You know why it doesnt work. Well for one Android is open source and usually designed for whatever device Google has for release that year. So now all these OEMs have to take that software and tailor it to their hardware and add their twist to it. Where as apple everything is made in house with every piece of equipment currently relevant in their portfolio taken into account. Two completely different situations there.

The other thing that kills me is when people talk about how quickly the devs can cook something up and why cant the OEMs do the same. Well for one you are essentially the test group when it comes to any ROMs released. EVERY ROM lets you know you are 100% liable for damages, well guess who is liable when an OEM releases an update? They are, not the user. So many people will be throwing a hissy fit over how long it takes to get marshmallow but those same people will be losing their minds and griping when they get a rushed shotty update.

Frankly i dont mind waiting as long as the update improves the phone, because im sure we have all experienced those updates that are like two steps back.

Tell me for those people that hate waiting. Was your phone broken when you bought it? Did it magically break when the newest version of android came out? Have some patience or buy a Nexus. This is nothing new.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] PDXMatt:
No, we don't have Android M. We have a half-assed version of Android M that not everyone wants to use.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this Forum things.

I was using Cynogenmod 12.1 nightly with Xposed framework v74 installed along with Squid2's kernel. Everything was working smooth and fine. I was used to update it daily using Cyndelta. After updating to 6th Oct's nightly. My phone is not able to boot and stuck at boot animation I reflashed the old nightly and it is started working again, but however after updating again I am facing the same issue. Don't know whether its Rom issue or Framework issue?:confused:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelpMeruth:

Hey all!

I'm having an annoying problem.

Sometimes, when i go to my contacts, they just disappear.

I'm currently running dopod's WM6 rom, but it also happened before with the original rom.

Any ideas?

Hi guys!

After I restored my 5.0.2 nandroid backup from 5.1.1, I forgot to wipe dalvik/cache.

Now the device boots, but i cant access recovery (red notification light on boot).

After it comes up, almost every process is stopped, and after less than a minute the device reboots.

Does anybody have a solution?

5.0.2 (.242) rooted.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
I would try fastboot. If you can flash any boot and recovery IMG combo that would get you into recovery, you could re-restore your backup. Lots of files available for download in the forums. If you don't have fastboot set up, and don't want to, maybe just reflash ROM and re-root, since rooting 5.0 is not a big deal. Then you could get back to recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oreltub:
didnt really understand the fastboot option..

can i do the ROM reflash without loosing data?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
Probably not without recovery. If your bl is unlocked, you can use fastboot on your PC to get into recovery. Start with this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

Is it possible to revert the process of rooting by flashing STOCK FTF when we need service without voiding warranty?
[Xperia Z3 General] Lionhearted61:
is bootloader unlocked on your device ? then there will be no chance.

because you do it with code that they give, They will know what happened to device before.

I guess I rooted my phone when bootloader is locked.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngoclong19:
I have just purchased an ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser ZE500KG. It comes preloaded with some photos in the Gallery (in folder DCIM on Internal Storage, their file names are "m_1 ... 10 .jpg/.png"), and some of them look very nice. I accidentally delete some of them and now I can't figure out how to bring them back.

Could someone give me any idea how to recover those photos; or if you have purchased this phone, could you extract those photos and upload them somewhere so I can download them.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semenick96:
I'm attempting to flash android M on my nexus 6. I've installed the proper drivers from google, after checking in device manager it says the proper drivers are installed. When I enter "adb devices" into the terminal nothing shows up in the list. I've searched through forums and tried the universal adb installer which isn't compatible with Windows8x64, so I used the 15 second installer which worked but didn't change the result. Am I doing anything wrong?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxes:
I use wug's toolkit which includes easy setup for adb and has worked with both Windows 7 and Windows 10. You might try that.

Otherwise, you didn't say whether your device is recognized by the computer when you plug it in. Windows should recognize and try to install drivers for the device automatically when plugged in via USB. If it's not, there's probably something wrong with the cord you're using. If it is recognized, then it might be the drivers of you might not have debugging enabled on your phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semenick96:
The computer recognizes the phone and USB debugging is enabled
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Forget about adb since you don't use it for flashing anyway. Boot into the bootloader.and type "fastboot devices". That's all that matters. Check drivers and device manager in bootloader too.

Uninstall the device if you have to and set up as per my thread.. Nexus 6 general > sticky roll-up thread > adb and fastboot.

That means you didn't do the environment variables correctly or it didn't take after the reboot.

Is that the platform-tools? I'm sorry if these are stupid questions! I'm still learning aha
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, if you followed my thread and installed the sdk, the fastboot.exe should be in there. The full path is mentioned in my thread. Go.and check that and if it is, go onto the next step about environment variables.. Remember, the variable must be the location of fastboot and MUST start with ;

To be honest, I cheat and simply drop adb and fastboot into c:\windows\system32 as that is already and environment variable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustusIV:
I had started a thread over in the nexus 6 forum but was thinking maybe this would be a better place.

There seems to be very limited information out about how this is being handled.

This site has a pretty good write up on it http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/6/

However my issue lies in the fact that a tiny fraction of my apps are actually getting into the Google Drive/Settings/Managed backups.

Everywhere it seems to refer to next to all apps will get backed up properly this way. But this is not my experience.

This is a major pain point in android and one of the reasons to root. I really hope this gets ironed out.

What are others experience with marshmellow app data backup and restore?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustusIV:
OK so i think the issue are the apps that aren't using the latest API

Everyone made it appear that this was going to be the solution and while it might be in the next year or two its not right now...

Unfortunately Stagefright CVE-2015-6602 is still vulnerable according to

Zimperium Stagefright detector app.

Lookout Stagefright Detector will not detect the latest Version 2.0 vulnerabilities of Stagefright and make it clear in there app description.

"This app does not support detection of Stagefright 2.0 vulnerabilities. "

So here we go again in the waiting game.

Wouldn't it be better if google took Stagefight out of the rom, so it can could be updated in play store?

[T-Mobile LG G3] skipaaa:
I landed here because I tried the 20e to 20g update and got the "unexpected version" error via twrp. Responding to my own post cuz I got bold and did it anyways.

...So, I had TWRP 2.8.7.0 D851 installed. Did full backups with Titanium paid version and TWRP. Started with STOCK rooted d85120e, left it rooted, and used TRWP to install

1) STOCK d95120g from top of this thread,

2) TWRP d851 2.8.7.0 found elsewhere (above link is 2.8.6.0), and

3) the SuperSU zip from link found just above.

Rebooted system without any wipes. A few minutes to update apps on first reboot and mostly good to go. Had to update SupserSU binaries via normal mode, and reinstall busybox. Busybox froze on black screen on multiple attempts during it's startup check, so on next attempt, I didn't let it finish the check, just told it to install, and has been bliss all day. So far, so stable. Better have the backups and not need them than need them and not have them. Settings show D85120G and Lookout shows NOT vulnerable to stagefright.

Sitting pretty. Hope this helps others who couldn't use the 20E to 20G update method to keep stock roms with optional root.

I know this response is late but you don't need to flash gapps with this rom as it is the factory rom that came with the phone when you buy from an authorized seller. So, if a rom says it is "Stock" then it is the factory version. Also, I believe this is Android 5.1 Lollipop
