Hi,

I try to boot the custom recovery image with fastboot without flash and it fails. So for rooting, at time, the only way is: unlock->flash custom recovery->install superSU. But after that, you can try to: flash stock recovery->re-lock, if you like (not tested by me! Be carefull!). However, with the custom recovery you can do full backups, so I recomend it. The side effect is that you can't upgrade with OTAs.

Another option is use the original stock firmware and readback/flash the SYSTEM partition and modify it using an external computer (modify the IMG). But, this solution is quite complex.

Finally, related to the SD-CARD. The "internal memory" is only for "media", not for Apps. I use one 64GB SD on my Fever and I store in it: photos, music & ISO/IMG images. Any other data is in the internal storage (emulated sdcard). Also, I "installed" (=moved) some huge games (>100MB) to the sdcard (the real SD); and I store my Google Kiosk and Music files on the sdcard (also the real SD). Please, don't care about the sd storage, is working right on the stock firmware.

:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oile:
Actually I could inject root files into the system.img can anybody provide it? Do you know if bootloader only accepts images signed by manufacturer? In that case, a modded image can cause a security error. But I don't think it is so complicated on mediatek, given the fact that is possible to flash a custom recovery without any security check using flash tool.

About sd, I don't think I get what you mean by "media". System needs a "sdcard0" for a lot of apps like Sygic and Whatsapp and games like real racing. If sd card replaces it being sdcard0 instead of sdcard1 everything seems screwed to me: these apps are forced to write and read from a very slow memory (even a class 10 is way slower than internal memory)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manos78:
In stock Fever ROM:

/sdcard --> the REAL SD Card (the Sygic data, Google Music & Kiosk, etc. are in the REAL SD Card)

/storage/sdcard1 --> the EMULATED SD (internal memory)

Then you can use the SD as real one with Apps, and use alternative (emulated) when you like. The "media" Apps can use sdcard0 (real) or sdcard1 (emulated).

Related to this sentence: "hese apps are forced to write and read from a very slow memory (even a class 10 is way slower than internal memory)"

Please, remember: both, external memory and internal memory, have LIMITED life (write operations). Then, what you prefer: write more on the internal and not interchangable memory, or in a removable and inexpensive memory?

Please, think well! :angel:

Also, FYI, in my current Wiko Fever I use a 64GB SDXC UHS-II, far away than a simple class 10 (x15 reads/x30 writes). :cowboy:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cippaciong:
I'm quite accustomed to filesystems and partitions since I've been using Linux for many years but I've got almost zero experience with Android internals, so please help me to understand if I got this right.

Now that I have unlocked the bootloader I can (potentially) flash "any" .img file on "any" partition (given that I'm using the right file on the right partition), right? So I could dump my system partition, put the su binary inside and then reflash it in fastboot mode?

I'm sorry if my questions might sound dumb to you but I'd like to start tinkering with Android a bit more but having a hard time finding a good starting point.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manos78:
Hi,

Unlock bootloader is for booting NON-SIGNED kernels (the boot or the recovery), not for partitions.

When you unlock the bootloader you can install (or boot) a CUSTOM recovery. In the custom recovery you can mount and modify the SYSTEM partition (where is included the root).

For "flash" or "dump" the internal memory of the device, if it's using a MTK cpu (like the Fever) then you can use SP FLASH TOOL. You have the scatter file in this thread!

Hello, I've tried posting my problem elsewhere on xda without response so I'll give it a try in here. My phone shows the sony logo then reboots infinitely after rooting it and I searched everywhere for a solution but all I could do is get this message on flashtool:

06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

It should be a driver problem but I have already installed adb drivers, specific drivers for e4 from sony website and flashtool, fastboot and jdm drivers from flashtool. I also tried switching usb ports and trying on other computers with the same results., and I'm 100% sure unknown sources and debug mode were checked last time the phone was in working condition.

Am I missing something here? Please help, thank you.
[XDA Assist] ZeroJoe:
Tried installing all drivers from flashtool driver folder as well, still nothing. I dunno if it's relevant but the device is recognized as somc flash device in device manager. I'm using flashtool 0.9.19.0 as I read somewhere it works better for the e4 dual (even if it doesn't for me) and the latest version gives an IO exception error.

Any expert who can help me with the problem?

Thank you I'll try!

And could someone explain to me step by step how to upload the root and recovery ? Because I too unknown to android .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
You can find how to root here. FULL CREDITS GO TO Zionator as he wrote up the instructions.

Easy Guide to Root :

1. Go to Rooting Guide - http://xdaforums.com/gala...6#post63637426

Download only the P605 modded boot IMG and then come back here. Move the tar to tablet. "In my opinion that guide is very confusing" This is much more simple...

2. Go to TWRP (download version 2.8.7.0) - https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/

Download the img.tar This file you keep on pc to flash via Odin.

3. Go to SuperSU v2.52 Beta - https://download.chainfire.eu/743/Su...erSU-v2.52.zip

Download the zip. Move the zip to tablet.

4. Reboot the tablet into download mode and open Odin on the PC then connect the tablet to PC. In Odin click AP tab and locate the TWRP and uncheck Auto-Reboot then hit start. When done hold the power button + vol up button "the vol button furthest from power button" + home button til you see red writing on top right hand corner. This can take a while so don't panic just wait.

5. When finished booting into TWRP pull Spen and click Install then find modded boot img "remember to switch between IMG & ZIP mode in the lower left hand corner" Now flash the boot img. Do not reboot just go back and switch back to ZIP mode and flash SuperSU when done reboot.

6. Wait for the boot to finish. You are now rooted.

I hope this makes it easy for you!!!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I am curious about this as well. I downloaded the .99 cent app from the playstore for Tap to Wake for the Nexus 6. It seemed unreliable though. It would work 8 out of 10 attempts or so. I refunded it which uninstalled it so I could look into this further. I am wondering how the app enables the tap to wake though because even after refunding/uninstalling tap to wake still works. odd
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painfree:
Yes I got it and it also had to install busybox but I must not have the right settings as it will awake but not unlock??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Using like es file explorer or root explorer or whatever see if you have the file

/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

if so, this "file" is part of virtual file system created by the kernel and is how you or applications can interact with the kernel. If its 1 its on if its 0 its off.

If you open a terminal, and type

echo 1

The terminal will echo

1

You can then direct the output of that command to overwrite a particular file with the ">" command

So with root privileges

echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

Would change the value in that file to 1

However if you have a stock kernel, this file is probably not there? Not sure if there is a way to add this to the kernel after its booted up? Been a while since I was on the stock kernel.

Either way, if you reboot it probably won't be on.

Also, I think with all implementations it's doesn't work 100% of the time, I use it the majority of the time to turn on my screen... but it only works most the time, and you kinda have to get the rhythm down.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DON2003:
does this mean after activating double tap to wake via kernel aduitor, uninstalling the app will leave nexus 6 with double tap to wake still working?

Ok guys I have made some of these for the nexus 6 as I really can't stand having the back button on the left so I made a mod to reverse the back and recents buttons if anyone is interested, this has only been tried and verified working on build MDB08M and added for MMB29M but should work on any stock build, if your on a custom rom I can make one for that rom if you post your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk as flashing on a rom that has anything changed in sysemui can cause problems. I just added one that will switch the softkeys and adds center clock.

Can anyone point me into the direction of some sort of guide that will help me implement the softkey swap? Admittedly, I'm a novice at modding Android phones, but I tend to be pretty savvy at figuring things out. I just need somewhere to start.

I currently have the Android N developer preview for the 6P. My phone isn't currently rooted. I would like to swap the back and recent keys from where they currently are.

I had previously thought I'd try to root my 6P before doing anything else, but for some reason my 6P won't "mount" when I connect it to my Mac. It's like my Mac doesn't even see that the phone is connected. Weirdly, if I selection the photo transfer option in the USB connection choices, iPhoto will pop up on my Mac and I'll have the option to download only the last photo I've taken with my 6P. If I use Android File Transfer, I can drag and drop back and forth between my Mac and my 6P, but my computer doesn't seem to want to mount the 6P like it would a flash drive or external storage.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] daneoleary:
Ugh I'm too new to post a link.... but there's an app in the Google Play Store called TWRP Manager, but in the title it says "(Requires Root)". Do you know of a TWRP version I won't need root access for?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] toknitup420:
I'm assuming since you're on N you have access to fastboot. Just flash twrp via fastboot. Then you will be good to go.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] :
You don't use TWRP manager. You go to the TWRP thread here and fastboot flash TWRP. If you choose to root you can install SuperSU but by no means do you need root to flash this mod in recovery.

Instead of searching playstore you should be searching xda
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] daneoleary:
Okay, so here's where I'm at now.

I finally figured out how to boot into recovery mode with TWRP. I wasn't able to get the zip file over there to do the softkey swap/clock centering so I did some Googling. Figured out it was because my device was password protected, which I did during the first setup. So I used TWRP to wipe the device, booted back into TWRP, copied the zip over, supposedly installed it.

Then when I booted my Nexus 6P back up, went through the setup wizard, and finally got to the home screen, the softkeys still weren't switched and the clock was still in the right corner instead of being centered. My bootloader is unlocked, so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. All of the guides I'm finding just aren't giving me enough detail. I've been working on this for three days now and I'm getting really frustrated.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] darkjedi7:
Did you root the device prior to flashing? You should flash supersu zip first then flash the mod again and it should work but make sure you are flashing the correct one for the build you are currently on. You should also wipe the caches after flashing for good measure, I always do when flashing something.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] daneoleary:
I wasn't able to get the flash to work without rooting. I was about to get TWRP running, but each time my 6P rebooted I'd have to flash it over again. It wouldn't like stay on my 6P, so I'm assuming that's why the flash swap wouldn't work. I eventually went ahead and rooted although I really didn't want to do that. Oh well. As long as I can unroot and go back to stock I guess it's not a huge deal. But as soon as I rooted and the phone booted, the softkey swap was working even though I didn't even have the chance to flash again after rooting. So I guess it was installed somewhere on the phone, but it just couldn't work yet? I'm not really savvy with all this stuff yet.

Does anyone know if I'll still get Android N updates with a systemless root? From what I've found on Google, I've heard people saying yes and no, so I'd just like to know.
