If you boot with a stock boot.img it will encrypt your userdata.

If you can avoid booting with a stock boot.img, for example if, prior to booting with stock boot.img, you installed SuperSU, or you installed a custom boot.img, then your encryption will be preserved.

If you run the OTA, it doesn't really give you an opportunity to easily bypass booting the stock boot.img because it reboots right away when done.

So if you want to preserve an unencrypted userdata, I would suggest you flash relevant portions of the factory image view fastboot and bootloader.

(ie boot.img, system.img, vendor.img and possibly bootloader and radio if they changed)

Then prior to first boot. immediately boot into TWRP and install SuperSU.

Alternatively find a modified boot.img and flash that instead of the one from the factory image.

I repeat: I would use TWRP but my smartphone does not appear in the list of supported devices.

On the contrary, in all the guides TWRP is indicated as an alternative to CWR.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fragone:
Original TWRP is not available for i9000.

BUT: The CodeROM-Team managed to make it running onto i9000. Therefore, you need to extract TWRP from their ROM, convert it to an Imagefile and upload it with ODIN. This works!

Hello, I would like to also do this as stated in the OP. The image in the kernel.tar, that's what I have to flash the i9000 with Odin? Do I have twrp recovery then in the i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
I downloaded the attached kernel attachment and flashed it with Odin. After doing this, the phone booted up in TWRP 2.8.7.0, but deleted the stock ROM. That's not all, I cannot do anything anymore with the phone, because the phone gives error with every ROM I try to install: "Unable to mount '/system'" and "Unable to mount '/data'". The phone does not boot in download mode either.

The big question is now, how to solve these errors? Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fragone:
It seems that this Recovery with CWM does not support any other ROMs than CodeROM :( . Had the same problem lately, but in my case I expected it to be due to the fact that i changed the Filesystem of /system and /data to F2FS, but apparently that was not the main cause. (By the way- don't do that. It took me 2 days to get it back to EXT again).

The only way to solve it was to flash a complete Stock ROM with ODIN (I had to do it twice until everything was working again), using the files you'll find in the Stock-Rom-DB. I used this ones (sorry, no link atm, but you'll find it easily):

CSC_OXXJVC.tar.md5	3'778'609	20.04.2012 23:42	-a--

PDA_XWJW5_Sbl.tar.md5	285'562'932	20.04.2012 23:40	-a--

PHONE_XXJW4.tar.md5	12'585'010	27.04.2012 16:17	-a--

s1_odin_20100512.pit	1'744	06.08.2010 16:56	-a--

Luckily this did not affectet the area where the phones special data is located (IMEI and so on, donnot remeber the correct name for that).

I'm now back onto latest official CM10, because newer releases had quite a few issues, especialy bad connectivity (dont know why). With android 4.4.4 everything is working perfectly again.

Hope that helps to fix the problems my file did!

> The phone does not boot in download mode either

Did not see that before. I never had such an issue. Try it again, but do not push the power button more than 10 seconds, else the phone reboots again and again.

Sometimes, Download mode works even thought you cannot see anything on screen. try to connect the device to your PC and launch ODIN, you'll see if it can connect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronxboy1:
Tnx for your reply Fragone. It took me a while, had to wait on a USB jig for me to get the phone in download mode.

Unfortunately I did format to f2fs, how did you get back to ext? As for the other files, I did get my hands on an original rom, but I have to go look for the files you mentioned and try it with those, as the stock rom does not boot either. If you have the links, I'd be much abliged. Right now I go to sleep, just got home from the graveyard shift.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnaod:
So someone finally returned my i9000 to me after a few years of use and I'm looking to put a current ROM on it so I can use it as a test phone. I keep seeing TWRP as the custom recovery used for the new ROMs. And yet like umberto, I've found there's no official custom TWRP for this phone. I'm pretty familiar with using TWRP on all my other devices.

So back to the original question of this thread - is there a way to get TWRP on the phone? It looks like Fragone's suggestion isn't the right way to go? The only thing I could find in my thread searches was a suggestion to use Mackay's ROM to get 2.8.1.0 and then (theoretically) it's on there so you could move to other ROMs. Any help?

On the i9000, kernel & recovery share the same image, thus the recovery cannot be flashed separately. Therefore there is no i9000 on the TWRP site.

Yes, there are several kernels that feature TWRP, but you must be careful: kernel must be compatible with the ROM, otherwise, bootloop is result.

Thanks for this warning. I've flashed MacKay's ROM and am playing with it right now. I was planning on flashing OmniROM later using this same TWRP but I'm guessing I should read quite a bit more carefully with every ROM to see if they're compatible.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resudo:
So I know these questions have been probably asked and answered a million times already, but honestly, I haven't been able to find answers exactly for my questions.

I will try to keep this as sort as possible, all I ask is to either point me somewhere or answer with a simple Yes/No. Of course longer responses are welcome as well :p

My info:

*SM-N910F *trlte *Firmware CSC code- TTR *Bootloader/PDA/Baseband- N910FXXU1COH4 *5.1.1 *LMY47X.N910FXXU1COH4 *If more is needed just tell me.

So here we go:

1)From what I understand, for installing a custom ROM, TWRP is the first thing I should install. Correct?

2)Which is the latest Odin version (or which version should I use) to install TWRP?

3)Is it possible to install any STOCK rom from SAMmobile or only the ones specific for my country?

4)After installing TWRP and making a backup, which application should I use to root my device and which one to make an EFS backup?

Thats all, thanks a lot in advance everyone :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 32dave:
1)I would recommend installing a custom rom but thats a personal choice 2)I believe the latest is 3.10 but 3.07 works just fine 3)Any stock Rom for your model 910f 4) If you install a custom rom it will be rooted already if Stock CF-Autoroot should work but do it before changing recovery as it puts the factory one (3E) back also TWRP will let you back up your EFS

So, with fantastic support from folks like [MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION] here on XDA, perhaps we can get them to start looking at Tempered Glass Screen Protectors (TGSP's) for the REAR glass on the Nexus 6P.

I'll get some emails out to Skinomi and others to see if they would be interested in making one, while gorilla glass 4 is great and all, I'm sure some of the rest of you are as concerned as I am about the back glass, if not more so (always setting it down on the back).

Anyone else seen anything? I can get a list going of who's been contacted and replies, just give me a link and a name, or let me know you contacted them and their reply when they do.

Of course I'm referring to the only piece of gorilla glass on the rear. LOL

Glad to see others are interested. Should be easy, and cheap. I don't even think they'd need to make holes, do they? if so, just the one for the camera, one for the flash, and one for the auto focus, if not one for both of the latter together.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Shinyhead:
Holes would be required for those. The protectors would refract the laser, focus, camera :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Figures, still, it would be much more protected with the holes cut out than nothing.

Hopefully someone takes this up.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Did that really need to be explained?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] flamadiddle:
I'd buy a combo pack (front + rear) over just a front glass protector.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Most cases (dare I even say all) won't support a TGS on there. And if you don't use a case then I don't quite see the point of protecting that part but not the back... unless you're just interested in protecting it from scratches using a skin or something... or it could just be me.... lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] indianajonze:
yeah of course it did. it's a very odd request. as mentioned, it would cause issues with the camera, and the area's so small that i'd doubt there would ever be a market for such an item. i've never actually seen a request for tempered glass protection for a 40mm strip of glass. secondly, as there are other devices which in fact do have proper glass backs, i thought maybe he was confused. so yes, it really did need to be explained, and, given the explanation, i'm still not certain he understands the ramifications of what he's asking for. it would with 100% certainty detract from the usability of the device. if you're that concerned about it, get a nice bumper case and be done with it. anyway, good luck to you op with your quest
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
The edges of the "visor" also curve back toward the front of the phone, don't they? So it'll be annoying just like the 2.5D TGSP on iPhones and stuff...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
This is a little anal retentive. The only reason to protect the back glass is to keep the camera, flash and laser emitter free of scratches, but you don't want to cover them for performance reasons. The rest is for sensors and even if the glass got scratched it wouldn't affect them.

Also, if you look at the design, it appears that even laying flat on a surface, the glass does not contact the surface. I don't have an actual 6P to check though.

Eh, I know I wasn't trying to be an ass. You know I wasn't. Hard to convince the internet of it after it's out there though. That and having re-read it, yeah... I was kind of being an ass.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Me too.

If you don't see the point, it wouldn't be for you then. I do see the point, I drop my phones occasionally, I'd rather have it protected as much as possible than not. A thin TGSP on the back would we fine for me, don't need a super thick one. I use cases, good ones, I just would like the option.

Someone else somewhere mentioned how skins should be made for it, and that's what gave me this idea. Either or even better, both options would be nice to have.

Not too odd obviously, others are interested in it. If there is a camera cut out then there's no issues with the camera.

He completely understands the ramifications of what he asked for... that's why he asked. Not that I want the answer, but I don't see how this could 100% detract from the usability of the device. Or even 1% for that matter.

A bumper case? Yeah, that's super protective. I've already got 2 cases waiting and a few more coming. I know there are folks that like to go naked, with just a screen protector, and I know there are others that are going to get the cases with no coverage of the back glass. If it's not for you then fine, it's not for you, but others having the option to get one don't affect your option to NOT.

No idea, phone doesn't arrive till the 10th-12th.

No, the only reason to protect the back glass would be to...

Wait for it...

Wait...

Protect the back glass.

Protect it from shatters from falling on the ground, protect it from scratches and scrapes when doing the things you do with phones (taking pictures of your car engine while you work on it, taking pictures of the roof damage from the hailstorm).

I for one like a 100% device when I go to sell them when it is time to move on. My LG G3 is absolutely mint.

Call it anal, thats fine with me.

So great folks, if you aren't interested in one, this thread would not be for you.

I would think that tempered glass would be a poor choice for the back glass. The glass is curved, so the tempered glass would needed to be curved as well which makes it more difficult to produce. Instead, a plastic skin would protect it from scratches just fine and will naturally conform to the curve. And there are no issues on the back glass with touch sensitivity, etc that people are usually concerned with on the screen.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crazyg0od33:
no, no look at photos and reviews...it is curved at the edges. This will cause issues with TGSP for that part

[Nexus 6P Accessories] slickromeo:
if i drop my phone while i'm walking outside, and the FIRST spot on the phone where the phone hits the concrete is that rear glass on the Nexus 6P, then you can bet i would have wished that piece had a TGSP on it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
That's exactly what I'm thinking and why I want one.

For example, my Nexus 7, I dropped it, one time. It is in a SEIDIO case, which is a hulking case for that thing. It has a screen protector. It fell just perfectly so that the USB port landed on the corner of the metal frame for a piece of furniture in my house bending the hell out of the port. No other damage, just this. had to let the battery die out and let it sit for a few days totally discharging so I could go in there and bend it back so I could at least plug in, but the port looks terrible now and I wouldn't try to sell it because of it.

Depending on how the protector is made, you don't need any cutouts.

And like I said "Depending on how it is made".

If you leave the silicone crap off above the lens it should be fine.

We aren't talking about a Canon L series lens or a Nikon Nikor. We are talking about a sensor the size of the nail on your baby finger that is one step above yesterday's point and shoot. It won't matter.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MYxdaUSERNAME:
You don't think the smaller sensor would be more susceptible to error?

I don't know one way or the other honestly, and personally I'd prefer a skin like dbrand over glass on the back of the phone, but that's neither here nor there.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gwertheim:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] tech_head:
Actually a smaller sensor will mask errors more readily than a large sensor.

The resolution ability is a combination of sensor size and pixel size and arrangement.

A new camera like a Canon 7D MKII has a sensor that has the ability to out resolve most of the glass you put in front of it.

SO you start see imperfections and artifacts in the glass.

I doubt this camera has that ability.
