[Nexus 5X General] Badd_blood:
It's 2017 and the Nexus 5 released in 2013 is a good performer today! The 5x really isn't that different. The main reason I like the 5x better is the new cellular technologies it has. VoLTE, wifi calling, band 12 LTE.
[Nexus 5X General] epapsiou:
Moved to 5x from LG G2 (a Nexus 5 clone with bigger battery and screen)

The phone is bigger while the screen size is same (5.2) . So that is bad

But camera is miles ahead and i like fingerprint unlocking

Battery is worse than G2 (expected as it is 2700 vs 3000) but was hoping for some SW magic by google. Did not happen

On the whole this is fine (perhaps the best) sub $300 phone (got it through Project Fi)
[Nexus 5X General] AnsonSo:
I came from lg g4. First time nexus user. I like the bloatware free os as well as finger print scanner. It was my wish came true. Planned to buy nexus5 before but settled on g4 coz of sd card, 3gig ram and removable batt.

This Week on Saturday i have a new Nexus 5X Phone, come from the Xperia Z3. This is my first Google Phone. I´m happy then. :)
[Nexus 5X General] _Ghost:
I was a user until the bootloop struck when I jumped to 7.1.1. Had to get the 3t. It's awesome but I miss the camera of the 5X. Quite better vs the 3t.

The 5X was my first and last google phone. Coming from a Moto G, it was great except for the build quality ,SOT and the heat it was great.
[Nexus 5X General] r3act:
What nobody is mentioning here is that USB-C is a pain when switching from N5 to N5X. None of your existing cables combine. The charging cable provided is USB-C to USB-C so you can't even connect the phone to a laptop for adb/fastboot. What I did was getting a USB-C male to micro-USB female adapter so anything I had can be connected.

Just wondering what the majority is thinking of going with (or already has) for their 6P, be it a back-only or full frame skin, a case, both or nothing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] razortaz18:
Dbrand skin for me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Screen protector either Intellisheild Tempered Glass or the Spigen film with a back skin (I have a white dbrand and a galactic slickwrap on order). I have a cheap clear case from Spigen coming too may or may not use that until I find a better case I really like.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Clem604:
Going raw dogg for sure. I will probably get a tempered glass screen protector though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Skin + clear case. Or, if a good one ever gets released, skin + bumper. Every single shattered screen I've seen from either myself, coworkers, or friends have been from corner impacts.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reardoma:
So I thought my question, posted elsewhere in regards to another issue, is one that can be extracted for general inquiry. If it need be collapsed, the original question was posed here: click

So I have a rooted H810i ATT G4, however this issue is not carrier specific:

I have soft-bricked* the phone to a state my computer is not able to recognize its ID and assign a driver for its use. Windows throws the code 43 error of "device descriptor request failed" and automatically gives me the "device failed to be recognized" message.

The issue is most likely to be related to the phone's hardware versus my pc or cable. I have of course used different PCs, versions of windows, usb cables including the oem cable, enabled/disabled usb debugging, all with the same result. The PCs all recognize something plugged in and charge, making noises with plugged in, but the phone does not offer connection options.

I use the term soft-bricked as I am able to boot into download mode & my rooted firmware version and can of course use the phone, I am simply attempting to unroot.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] releva:
Let me try to help u. Look at ur lg box serial no. If it begins with 505xxxxxxxxx to maybe 509xxxxxxxx , then you are likely facing with a motherboard issue. Its a known defect. Send back to lg for them to fix it if its still under warranty. first 5 in 505 basically means year 2015 the next 05 means manufactured month which is May. Those phones manufactured before OCT have defects from what i have read in xda. So if ur serial number is 509 or less gd luck

You can use this link https://imeidata.net/warranty/lg to find out the manufacture date as well
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reardoma:
serial begins 3579.... I assume serial and IMEI are the same thing?

also, if it is the hardware on the phone, it is due to my own doings, as the phone was completely fine (showing up in windows 10 with no issues) until I attempted to unroot and failed mid-way.

Thank you for your help however.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
All I have is a IMEI number which has nothing to do with the manufactured date on the box. It also shows a manufactured date of May 2015, this is a Verizon Wireless Black Leather vs986, only concern is if sent back, I'll get a replacement that will have 11a software on it, have 10b now which means less chance of a bootloader unlock should it be available.
[G2 General] pippy02:

[G2 General] MonsieurLorax:
Update TWRP before installing ROM

Thanks for the guide. I had an issue after installing this ROM on D802T, whereby I could not longer boot into TWRP recovery and received a "secure boot error" followed by a blank screen. Before installing RR, I had to update TWRP to blastagator's TWRP w/ Thermal Control & F2FS (twrp-3.0.2-1-d802-bump-blastagator-signed.zip).
[G2 General] ghayyurious:
You actually messed up the recovery partition. You had to flash the D802T recovery NOT D802. If your phone is booting then do so else restore to Stock and reproduce the steps. Good luck!
[G2 General] akki809:
Kind attention!!

Currently I am on cloudy g2 3.3 and i have a full backup of cm13 rom,which I was using earlier.My question is, can i simly restore that backup through twrp or not?
[G2 General] ghayyurious:
Cm13 uses LP bootstack so i think there won't be any issue but I'm not sure about the modem though, do backup everything before you proceed.

Be sure you download a STOCK (Official) Firmware.

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed Chainfire's systemless boot.img, flashed TWRP twrp-2.8.7.1-angler.img and when I took into recovery TWRP is asking me for a password to decrypt. I don't remember setting a password and don't know if there is a default one.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hin10:
Your device is likely encrypted and TWRP can't read the contents of your SD card unless you format /userdata first. This will wipe everything on your phone. The nexus 6P rooting guide will explain this in detail. I'd link it here but I'm new on here and I don't really know how. Look in the Nexus 6P general section. It should be stickied at the top.

What happens if you boot up and set a password? Does that password work for TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exSD:
I flashed the stock image and redid the process.

I booted the phone and did not set any password/pin/fingerprint/etc. No security. Then I redid the boot.img, recovery.

I was then able to reboot into TWRP without the password prompt. Flashed systemless SuperSU and rebooted.

Now I'm stuck in the Google loading screen and has been there for a while. Looks like maybe it's not liking the new boot.img?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusanagi Fire:
You're likely not on the latest build, so you'll have to use the images on Google to put yourself on the MDB08K (or higher) build before proceeding with the modified boot img (unless your devices can get the OTA). Many of the devices shipped with MDA89D out of the box.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exSD:
Is D or K the latest?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusanagi Fire:
Latest is M. Modified boot was created based on K, but I believe has no problems working on M.

For some reason I thought D was the latest and flashed that. I'll upgrade to M and use the modified K boot.img.

Is this normal for TWRP to ask for a password if you have pattern password turned on. So do I need to turn off all of my security before flashing TWRP 2.8.7.1

Right now my bootloader is unlocked, M6.0 all stock. I’ve been waiting for the source code to be release by Google so we can get a official root SU
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exSD:
I'm not sure how TWRP would handle the pattern password. You can flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 and give it a shot. If it doesn't work, just download the stock image and extract the recovery.img from it and flash it back to stock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exSD:
Hey, FYI, that was my issue. Flashed the M image, then the K systemless root boot.img and all is working well now. No password prompt on latest TWRP either.

Resetting the pin worked for me

was having the same problem on Nexus 6P- had previously TWRP/rooted with no problem, don't remember being asked for a password.

After flashing recovery/radio/ROM back to stock and then later deciding to root again ran into this.

Android was still booting up OK so just set a new pin in Settings-->Security-->ScreenLock and selected the require PIN to start option. This PIN then worked as the password in TWRP to decrypt.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountAltec:
I was having the same issue with TWRP 2.8.7.2, I decided to flash TWRP 3.0.0.1 and I did not get prompted for the password. Not sure if this a true solution so at some point I may just decrypt data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdskhalsa:
From another forum, This worked for me and couple of other people too :)

I found a better way.

I found a way around. Boot into ROM, create a 4 digit pin screen lock, then use flashify to flash recovery, then boot into new recovery and use pin.

Boom, you have decrypted recovery. You can boot back into your rom and change the passcode to "none" and twrp won't ask for a pin.

This is because when twrp initially boots it sees a "default_password" but if you go into twrp and try to type default password it will not work because there isn't a default password it just sees there is one except its unlisted it's kind of a double negative but a way around that is to create a password.

I think I'm having a twist on this problem.

After using Lineage for a while I tried another rom (carbon) which I now think has encrypted my data. I tried going back to lineage but now I cannot access my data, nor the backups I made for both Lineage and Carbon.

I think that if I can put the backup of carbon back I should also have my files back. But with and encrypted file system I can not get back to Carbon.

I think I did set "ask for password at boot" in Lineage but I took off the pattern+ finger prints before making the backup and I did not set pattern or fingerprint after installing carbon.

Is there a way to get back to carbon?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Your data is no longer accessible. Once your storage has been encrypted, the only way to un-encrypt is to flash a full stock Google image, and then do a factory reset from the stock recovery. If you had any backups on PC, you could then restore them and be back in business. This USUALLY only happens to you one time and you never forget. Think of it as a housecleaning day.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SvenHee:
Thanks for the quick reply, clear answer!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accessive:
i ran into this, & found that when i enabled the finger print lock & added the pin code as backup & set it to require pin on boot, TWRP then started requiring my pin to decrypt data when before it did not.

so any folks that don't know why it's suddenly asking for a password, try that, try the PIN or PASSWORD that you use when you turn on the phone or is the backup for your finger print etc.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeintDoxx:

I love this phone. I really do, and frankly, **** verizon for making me so scared to hold out on it. I already have the "software status: modified" in the about section, without doing anything to provoke it and a vzw manager tried to tell me my 3 day old phone was out of warranty, thankfully tech-support knows just as little, and they claimed that any non demo model would have the "modified tag" and they marked in my account that the modified status would have no bearing on my warranty. This is the kind of thing I just dont want to deal with around something I own.

BIGGEST CONCERN: vzw V10 marshmallow. do we have any guarantee of when or if it will arrive?

While I'm on Verizon also and agree with most of ur points the 6P is actually not lowered powered. It has a 810, bigger battery and better battery life, fingerprint sensor, all aluminum body, front speakers and louder ones, newest software at ur will, while the camera ain't as gd probably it's still very comparable. To be honest I'm getting V10 but have my doubts and probably will end up with a 6P but we will see, maybe LG will win me over.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottsoNJ:
But the V10 has a removable/replaceable battery,expandable memory,OIS and supposedly getting wireless charging very soon,probably a better camera and is shock/vibration made. Plus Verizon gave me $300 for a Blu POS I had laying around and with the LG promotion with a free 200gb memory card and extra battery and battery charger it was a no brainer. PS and quick charging
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INCREMENTAL:
Oh I agree very valid points, I'm going with the promo to so yeah no brainer I figured it was worth trying out. I'm not knocking the phone at all, the build quality looks amazing and feels amazing and I'm one that favors LGs skin but I also like vanilla as well. I'm just saying there's a lot of positives on the 6p as well. As far as battery life the LG will get better once it gets marshmallow. I got the Nexus 6 and doze is amazing. I usually charge my phone at night and take it off the charger every morning but with MM the phone sleeps very good, I usually go to bed around 11 with 100% and wake up at 6 with either 100% or 99%.
