[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I am an Android Noob! My first Android devices were the Nexus Player and the Nexus 6. (I came from iPhones and Apple TV) It did not take me long at all to learn how to use fastboot and adb. I manually flashed my Nexus 6 and Nexus Player to 6.0 before the OTAs were rolling out no problem. I have root on both of my devices.

My point is, if I can learn how to do this in a matter of a day (I have not had my Nexus 6 a full month yet) You can learn how to do it as well. There are tons of guides out there on how to do all of this. Google is your friend. You will feel awesome and have a sense of accomplishment if you take the time to learn this stuff. It is easy to learn, not hard at all! I come from a pretty extensive tech background so I was a step ahead, but anyone can do / learn this stuff.

There are toolkits that can do this stuff for you pretty much. I have not downloaded or used one myself. I don't trust someone else's code with my device. That's just me though. I like to feel in control when I flash stuff.

"Surely it's only being courteous to learn these things ?"

I know that it's all too easy to be taken wrong when writing a post, so I'll say up front that I'm serious - thanks for posting those steps. I've watched the NRT run through its steps a number of times and it clearly does a lot more than this, which is why i'm glad that it's doing the typing for me :)

I have used your steps when flashing various things, I've just never used them for a ROM upgrade - except once when I was trying to recover a broken-radio N5 and was installing Chroma.

One value at least of the NRT for noobs is its help in setting up your PC's drivers - that alone is a good reason to look at it.

Just for interest, what would happen if I flashed recovery into the radio partition? Or the boot partition?

Seriously, thanks for these steps - I appreciate it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Radio may boot but won't connect to a network.

Boot is the kernel so it won't boot without it (bootloop)

Both can be fixed by flashing the correct image to the correct partition.

The images in the factory image are appropriately labelled too, so it would be difficult to flash to the wrong partition without realizing it was wrong.. Eg

"fastboot flash radio boot.img" looks wrong when you have radio.img too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Thanks, danarama. I suppose that's the point I was trying to make at the top - that if you're a bit of a thicko then you could flash to the wrong partition, which a predefined script won't. As long as it's recoverable, no problem, but I remember the pumping heart and breathlessness as I watched my devices on several occasions sitting with the boot animation for 10-15 minutes and thinking "What the hell do I do now?" :)

I know I'm hijacking this thread (sorry...) but is there anything you can think of that would definitely hard-brick my device if I'm being thick or careless? I've never managed it, and maybe as Android progresses it's becoming harder to hard-brick, but is there ever a time when I need to think "There's no way back from this one"?

Hello mates!

I started diggin' around the new built in web based Device Portal that can be enabled under Developer settings, and found some pages, that are not available through the menu:

debug.htm – Debug (gives 404 error). Seems it will be some debug page, where you could dump the live kernel of the device

devicepair.htm – Set up access, I think this will be the new pairing method between your PC and Phone. You can also download your device certificate

EtwMon.htm – Realtime ETW Tracing (gives 404 error). Event Tracing for Windows, devs should know what is this

WerReport.htm – WER Report (gives 404 error). Windows Error Report listing

xpref.htm – Performance tracing (gives 404 error)

I attached the complete source code of the web interface. I found one more interesting file in it:

default/js/RestDocumentation.json – Complete REST documentation, including "some" (hell'a lot) undocumented REST API calls

Another thing of note. I had my suspicions of this when it was released a few builds ago. This is ALSO the same WebManagement that exists in W10 IoT. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasingstatus:
Hi all!

I have a friend, who lives in Hong Kong and would be able to easily buy and get the phone back to me (his sister is an air stewardess) so yay for me. The 64gb option works out to be about £410-420 taking into account currency rates, which is a massive saving!

Problem is:

1) I can't check the Hong Kong version of the Google store so I can't check the availability but my friend says it's not there yet. Does anyone know when they usually stock it? I've tried using Hola extension to see if I could emulate an Hong Kong I.P address but didn't get anywhere with that.

2) Will be any band issues etc if I was to use the phone here with a sim-only contract here in the UK? How would after-sales work?

Thanks for any help!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
2. HK should be the international version and fine for the UK. Zero aftersales unless you return it via the route you got it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I'm visiting Hong Kong today and tomorrow. Can you buy the international version In any shops or is it only the Play store?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeproot:
so the OG roms google released are only for one model. Since they have two Nexus 6p does the same OEM roms work on both models?

i.e. these:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smallvan:
The best way is to ask your friend to order one sim free in the UK and send it to HK. So that you can enjoy the VAT free but to pay £20 something for delivery. Then send it back to UK for you. You will also have the local customer service in the UK.

However, I think those UK sim free vendor with international delivery does not have stock at this moment.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugene1980:
Just checked with VPN,

It is not released in the HK play store yet.....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
The only difference is the LTE bands, AFAIK.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasingstatus:
Ahh balls! Is that Google's official word on aftersales support?

Hmm yes that is an option but then I'll have to deal with getting the tax back etc. I think I'll risk it with getting one from HK as it'll be a bit more straight forward. There doesn't seem to be any quality control issues does there?! Hopefuly I'll get a good one and won't ever need to worry about returning it etc..

Ohh how exactly do I use a VPN to emulate a Hong Kong I.P address? Any pointers would be great!

Am I right in thinking you're talking about some ROM and not the fact the HK version will be different/difficult for me to use in the UK?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
No, I'm saying the HK should be the international version with UK bands fully supported. The US version only supports some of the UK LTE bands.

5X just start the sale, hopefully 6P will soon be available
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasingstatus:
Ok thanks!

Wow really? Awesome. Can you please update me/us here when the 6P comes out!

I trust my friend to get the device and everything...but not his speed in replying back to me/actually doing it lol and I'm worried it'll get sold out.

He thinks it will be easier/available in local shops like Fortress and Broadway. What do you think? Did the 4, 5 and 6 come out as soon as it was for sale online?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hi-Fi:
I'm waiting too

6P - i think it is not so hot in HK, i do search several forum, just only few discussion, may be it comes form strange black color stripe at the back, and her brand "Huawei" this phone just fit for Nexus fans like me, so I guess it won;t be sold out soon

for the local shop sales, it seems it is different to the past, as 5X start online sales yesterday, there is no local sales yet, in the past, shop sales start 1-2 weeks prior online
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasingstatus:
Hm if that's the case I'll tell him to order it as soon as it's out on Google. Don't think Fortress/Broadway are going to have it in stock soon too then, also don't think it'll be at Google's price?

Keep me updated!

Hi Thanks for the update! I told my friend to get on it and he said there's no 64gb options available :( I told him to wait. Did you get order a 64gb?

Maybe he was too late.

Thanks again

I just check play store, following still available

alumimum - 32, 64, 128

graphite -64

frost - 64, 128

I think your friend check retail store, I heard all those store only provide 32

ask him to go to Google store to check again

I order graphite 64, today ship out, hopefully i will get it tomorrow
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd6noob:
according to Google.. N6P isnt available in HK just yet.. as there is no HK playstore... I just VPN'd and used a HK IP address to check... you have to use a 3rd party reseller...

[LG V10 General] Bootup:
Direct copy and credit to larsdennert's thread here. It works with V10 also.

"Thanks to ragingredbull for pointing out you can shortcut to App Ops on the G4. App Ops won't officially be released until Android M but has been in AOSP since 4.3. Google hid it in 4.4 and it was no longer accessible without root. The G4 has it available. Props to LG for allowing this!!

App Ops allows you to restrict access permissions such as GPS, contacts or Keep awake for individual apps. It is basically a privacy control that the iPhone has had for a bit and is sorely lacking in Android. The G4 version works for downloaded apps only unlike a root version. It is, however, still very useful and gets you most of the way. If you find that disabling permissions for an app causes it to force close then the app is written poorly to handle null data and you will have to turn the permission back on if you want to use that app.

To access the menu, Download "Any cut" or "Quick shortcut maker" from the play store. You want to create a short cut for "Access Lock" from the app.

Open it, change 'incremental search' to ' normal search' and search for Access .

You should get a Settings option that you can expand. Look for one labeled Access Lock and click on it.

It's possible that some App Ops enabling apps may also point to the proper Activity and work the same way.

After you have made the shortcut, clicking on it will open a menu allowing you to restrict app permissions.

(now we just need a hosts blocker and firewall...)"

Wow! Thanks for this :)

I created an application to open App Ops in some devices, especially for LG G4. If you guys want to open App Ops in only one tap, just install it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.toanpv.appopslauncher

No permission required.
[LG V10 General] moSess:
Much more elegant design. A little over 24kb. the other app posted above is over 5mbs. I'm an educated end user. I wonder what the differences could be that would make such a difference in size?
[LG V10 General] toanpv.vc:
Thank you for good question. I just focus on which you guys want, is simple and fast (smiley)

When the developer creates new Android project on Android Studio, the tool will automatically implement some libraries to that project to help developer create nice, useful app more easily (such as "app combat" - a support library), and other things... App combat library will increase the total size of application around 500Kb.

As a mobile developer, APK size is one of the most goals of mine. Creating a useful, beautiful, and smooth app with a small size makes you work harder. Consequently, you will create a good experience to users. In this app, I just wrote a code file (Java) to try opening App Ops if it is available. No need to do more. I removed all thing that not need.

I think some developer don't care about the size of an apk file and/or they want to do something such as using analytical tool, collecting some datas...

[Xperia Z3 General] josip-k:
First of all, i don't wanna get flamed because of this, this is just a thought, nothing more, i just wanted to discuss abit more about this, since there's no real discussion thread in any forum about this. So, as we all know, there's no real way to unlock bootloaders wich have bootloader unlock allowed:No status. Yet. I think there is a way, because, let's be honest, it's not a hardware restriction. That means, someone, somewhere, with enough knowledge and experience maybe could unlock it. While Sony's software is really good, i am a long time XDA member, and with a huge history of devices, i really don't like being restricted on Stock ROMs and kernels. This situation has honestly never happened to me, and it's my fault not checking the device i took. Feel wise, this phone is the best i owned. It feels right. It feels premium. The battery is great. The screen is great also, and the camera too. I love it. Just the feel of being locked forever makes me scared actually. Mainly because i plan to stay with this phone for atleast two or maybe more years since it's just too great. And, seeing as Android grows, our device will already be outdated with the next android release. Sure, that's not a problem for users with unlocked bootloaders, since they will be supported with CM/it's kangs and AOSP custom ROMs for the next gen for sure, and maybe even the one after that. But what's with us that have bootloaders locked? Marshmallow and that's it? No more updates? No more security patches? No new features? That just doesn't sound right. Now, i think we, as a community, should really do something about this, yea, maybe it's not a big thing for many of you, and for you with unlocked BL's, but for me it is. What are my thoughts, and our options could be:

1. We could raise a bounty, and buy/give a phone to someone experienced with unlocking and hardcore hacking (the first name wich comes to my mind is [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] )

2. We could do some research, ask opinions from devs and litteraly everyone we can, do some experiments with this stuff (but that requires someone really brave hahah)

3. I don't know, you can tell me below.

But i really think we should do something about this finally.

NOTE that this includes Xperia Z1/Z2 users also.

Guys i at least want disscus this. Call me stupid and call this all above nonsense, but if there's at least a small shed of light, any hope, we should discover the way.

And sorry for the long post. :)

[Xperia Z3 General] gregbradley:
There are lots of discussions about this in various Xperia threads.

Here is my $0.02

Geohot will not touch an Xperia device, he has had a C&D from Sony, so will not get involved with them.

No-one will seriously try to find a way to unlock the boot as there is a very simple way already, just buy a device that allows it. Why try and pick a very very difficult lock on the front door when the back door is left wide open. I understand some people have devices that cannot be unlocked but devs will always get ones which can.

Finally, have a look in the cross device development section for a thread about this. Munaji was trying to do just this but AFAIK he made very little progress.

Source to the bootloader unlocker.zip

Special thanks to [MENTION=342895]indest[/MENTION] on OP Forums for being a real trooper and risking its life for the community.

Download:

Tool + Driver + Bootloader Unlock zip

Also, download the ROM you currently have. The exact same version number!

I repeat, you must have a copy of your current ROM!

Setup:

Download the above files

Connect your OPO to the computer (Windows 7, 8 or 10)

Press the volume up + power button (at the same time) until you feel a vibration

If your device says fastboot, press the volume up + power button again, till your screen goes black and you hear a sound on the computer.

Start> Device Manager

The following drivers should be detected automatically in device manager (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008)

If ADB interface is seen, read step 3 again

If you see QHSUSB_BULK

Start> CMD (RunAs Admin)

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Reboot your computer

Enter Device Manager (start> device manager)

Right click QHSUSB_BULK> Update driver software> Browse my computer for driver software> Browse

Select <path of unzipped files>\Drivers\Qualcomm 2012

Check "include subfolder"> hit Next

Navigate to '<path of unzipped files>\OnePlusRestoreTool" folder

Right click on the "OnePlusRestoreTool(64GB).exe" and 'RunAs Administrator"

The program should start automatically doing its thing. If not, select the line that says 'COM' and hit start.

Once you see green text, hit log and make sure you have a BIG GREEN OK.

Unplug the device and press the volume down + power button till you feel a vibration.

It is important that you do not boot into your system, else, your data partition will suffer!

TWRP should now load. Once loaded, click Mount.

Connect your OPO to the computer.

Toggle off/on MTP (MTP should be ON)

Using your computer, transfer your ROM and the OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip to your "Internal Storage".

Hit the back button

Hit install> go to /sdcard/OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip > swipe to install

Then hit install again> go to /sdcard/<rom zip> (the one you started with) > swipe to install

Reboot device.
