[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JacobManning17:
Hi! I'm new to the Nexus 6 and I'm currently running stock Android 6.0 MRA58K with an unlocked bootloader. I'm interested in installing TWRP and flashing Chroma, but I'm getting a little confused. My main concern is with the new verified boot security features and all the talk of Chainfire's system-less root.

What is the best way that I should install TWRP and Chroma without messing up my device?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueyes:
You could use fastboot to flash twrp, then reboot to recovery and flash ROM/gapps. Assuming your familiar with adb/fastboot.

Sorry if this is not the right place to put this. Mods can feel free to adjust if necessary, but I have an opportunity to share:

Seeds, my company is offering $100 to developers who integrate our SDK and push it live in the iOS or Android store.

Seeds incentivizes non-paying users to make purchases by routing a portion of the in-app purchases to small businesses in developing countries via microloans. We have found social good is really powerful in converting paying customers as well as engagement and retention.

Let me know if you're interested and we can get you set up in the pay-to-integrate program! Or let me know if you have any questions and I can help with that as well.

So I noticed this today https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1017547#1017547

Of course, I had given up on this, and finally unlocked and rooted my phone a week ago. I gather than means I can't take an OTA update. Not sure I want it anyway, I'm happy with the stability of the native ROM. AdAway and tethering were the only things I needed and I've got those now.
[Moto X General] CaliMark1:
Any one get this update yet? I just booted up several sprint moto x that I haven't used in a while and got an update to 4.4.4 that I should have gotten a long time ago, but, no 5.1 (the phones no longer have active service) might that be an issue in getting an OTA? Just wanted to upgrade to lollipop before I sold them...
[Moto X General] t-bob:
Anyone seen this yet?
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Sprint probably started rolling it out before everyone else, it's just that their network is so slow that no one received the notification until after every other carrier had pushed out the update.
[Moto X General] gtruno:
Please tell me someone got the OTA

Anything yet? Anyone? 20 days since "release" and nothing?
[Moto X General] B-Real206:
I'm hard pressed to believe no one has got the update yet. I swear this starting going out on the 5th of Nov. A poster on Reddit said the release window was until the 7th of Dec :eek: daaaannnngggg, I'm still impatiently waiting lol
[Moto X General] CaliMark1:
https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1017547

Shows the 10th of Dec on the update announcement, so after the 10th, when you click system update should def be there? Maybe soon...lol

[Moto X General] Dj64Mk799:
Just a few days away from December 10th, and I haven't gotten the update yet. Is there any way to force it to show up? Does anyone have the firmware that I could flash myself?
[Moto X General] kdog350:
I think by now its safe to say, it won't be all rolled out by the 10th. It has to be a problem with the update.
[Moto X General] Dj64Mk799:
Who do I contact from Sprint if the update doesn't show up by the 10th?
[Moto X General] CaliMark1:
Sprint will just pass the buck to Motorola and we will go around in circles! Sprint and Motorola need to learn how to communicate with their customers.

Might want to check your phones for updates! I'm downloading the 5.1 update now...

If you don't have to be with unlocked bootloader or rooted can some one point me to a guide to capture the OTA update for others?

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? My bootloader is unlocked.

Finally see that people are getting the update

Some good news. 2 people on the Sprint Moto X message board just reported getting the update notification this afternoon. So there is hope yet.

Update - just checked and got the update notification! It has arrived! Will install when I get home.
[Moto X General] CaliMark1:
Yes, all my phones are stock, locked bootloader and unrooted. Installing it on one of the three moto x's in the household.

Hi,

I was running inspiration rom v18 (2.3.6) for a while, tried out CM 11 (4.4.4) but now I have a Moto G 4g, and want to give the phone to someone else who needs a fully working Camcorder.

I booted into CWM 5.5 recovery, wiped everything (Davlik, cache, battery history etc) and flashed inspiration again. It installs and sets up ok, but once its up and running, when I ty to download an app from the google play store, It gives an error during the install process on every app no matter how small :(.

Please help, and thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] J0hnick:
Thanks, I managed to fix it by downloading the last version of googleplay that ran on Gingerbread, ran it, told me it needed to update googleplay services and agree to new terms and conditions. Got as far as the play store menu, and it crashed immediately, and always did every time I ran it. So I uninstalled updates for the play store and google services, opened it again, it said it needed to update, it updated, now it works fine again :).

I don't think its worth running any non Gingerbread custom roms on this device, battery life is a joke and its extremely unstable, without official support from Samsung (we never did get that Jellybean upgrade they promised) trying to run 4.0 or higher through hacks and work arounds just isn't worth it, hence why I got the Moto G.

Like many prior android fingerprint readers, the V10 appears to be interpreting the ActiveSync policies of an exchange server that force a PIN/Password entry as disabling the fingerprint reader for unlock. (No EAS policy doesn't restrict fingerprint, it only enforces password unlock.)

I need to flash Tangerine Kernel Or DooMLoRD Kernal.. one time i test. but my all data erased. i want flash one of kernal without data losing.. Please Can you Help Me ?

Stock 12.1.A.1.205

JellyBean 4.3

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUEguy:
Tangerine only works for Lollipop roms so don't even try it or you be stuck in a bootloop, Doom kernel I think it's too old, try Williams Kernel 9.1, best one for 4.3 roms. Did you unlock your bootloader?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRTaN:
Stock 12.1.A.1.205 / C5303 / JellyBean 4.3 / Bootloader Unlocked / Rooted

Can I Flash Williams Kernel 9.1 Without Any data losing (auto wipe data\chache) or bootloop error ?? :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
Flashing a kernel doesn't auto wipe data. Since you're completely stock right now, I am guessing you'll be flashing the kernel via fastboot so you should be fine. As for boot loop errors, the kernel's meant for stock based roms so it shouldn't be a problem. I remember using it with Existenz. Worse case scenario, you'll have to reflash the kernel part from the stock firmware with Flashtool if things go wrong. Alternatively you could take a backup of your kernel via Rashr since you're already rooted.

Speaking of Rashr, you could use it to flash a recovery in your Fota partition which doesn't go away unless and until you remove it using stock firmware. This means that no matter which kernel or rom you flash, you'll always have a working recovery to get yourself out of trouble. You can take a complete nandroid backup of your system before even trying Williams kernel and in the off chance your phone is stuck in a bootloop, you can just restore your nandroid backup and you'll be back to stock.

If you're still worried about your data, just get Titanium backup and make a backup before you proceed. I have switched over a dozen roms in the past few months only because of it. Imagine setting up 30-40 apps every time you migrate to a different rom :eek:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRTaN:
Thanks For Details :) And i need to know, How to flash recovery & kernal ?

Kernal Can speedup my XSP ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somberchocks:
If I am not mistaken, SP like most older Xperia phones (not sure about the new ones) does not have a stock recovery nor does it have a recovery partition. The recovery is part of the kernel (the boot.img file or the .elf file). So when you flash a kernel, you are flashing the recovery along with it. This is why people flash a recovery in the Fota kernel partition since its a separate partition and is not overwritten while flashing other roms or kernels. A recovery flashed in the fota partition becomes your primary and only visible recovery irrespective of how many recoveries came bundled with the kernel you flashed. The only way to remove it is by flashing stock firmware or to be more specific, the fota kernel from the stock firmware. If you need it, you can find it here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59908442

Now since your phone's already unlocked and rooted, go grab Rashr from the playstore and use it to flash the latest Twrp from here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61698751

This way you will have a permanent recovery which you can use to take a nandroid backup before you try new roms or kernels and restore it if things go wrong.

Your other option is to flash the kernel via fastboot but remember if you flash another rom, the existing kernel will be overwritten by the kernel that came with the rom. It becomes really cumbersome when you are trying different roms. Another reason to flash a recovery in the Fota partition.

As for a new kernel speeding things up, yeah it helps. The first link is also the main thread for Tangerine kernel which has CPU overclocking and governor options and a bunch of other tweaks to improve performance but its only for LP roms. If you wanna stay stock, you can try the Williams kernel. Doesn't have as many features as the Tangerine kernel but more than the stock kernel. If you know which tweaks to make, I am sure you can gain a performance boost from either.

Hey all,

Looks like I am back to using S5 for a while now (I had G900A for a bit then moved onto Nexus... now I am back with G900T).

Anyhow, it is sim unlocked and all, picking up LTE signals great, everything is functioning good (On FOJ4).

Last night I tried to put TWRP and flash in a debloated rom but somehow things just went straight to boot loop.

So can anyone clearly guide me through the orders I need to follow?

1) TWRP

2) Debloated Rom (Pre-rooted or not?)

2a) Modified kernel to include root

To be honest, I really don't need root or custom recovery, custom roms... but I just want to remove courier apps.. I would much prefer using Odin to do everything but looks like most of customization requires TWRP?

Any help would be much appreciated! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] t12icky0:
XtreStolite international(unofficial 2.3). It's stock but debloated. Has a package you use in twrp to flash add-ons and other extras you want. I use ktoonsez kernel but done use boefla(or something like that). The Rom is already pre-rooted also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sean89us:
I have personally tried most of the ROMs for the klte /kltetmo and I can tell you, the best route for battery life is something stock-based. Everything I've used based on CM or AOSP has drained my battery like crazy, and for some reason those ROMs also make Bluetooth act funny.

I'm personally just running the stock rooted ROM from Muniz_ri, and I use App freezer to freeze any of the apps I don't want/need.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404

If you want to try out a ROM that's heavily debloated straight from the start, try Vision-X. It's based on stock and debloated/deodexed so it's good on battery and very stable.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797336

Basically the process is flash your ROM from TWRP, then boot to download mode and flash the new bootloader and modem with ODIN (BL And CP slots, respectively), then boot and wait until it's done. Profit.

Hi everyone,

posted this in the NA thread but got buried.

Fellow Canadian here. Tired of waiting for the Z5P to become available in North America.

gonna bite on the Z5P Dual from eBay HK seller hkbns-australia. Anyone ever deal with them? How much was duty to Canada?

Just a few questions before I bite the bullet:

Is the reported left handed blurry photos a hardware or software issue?

Can I still get OTA updates on an unlocked phone from Sony if it's outside home region?

There's a good chance Sony Mobile will fold in a year or so. How are the previous Xperia Z phones in terms of community support for custom ROM? Will custom ROM run into a problem with poor battery life since Premium renders in FHD instead of UHD unless in media or are ROMs gonna be flexible enough to know which resolution to render at?

DRM keys is noted to disppear after unlocking BL. Has this been a problem with previous Xperias and is there a workaround underway to get the phone rooted but not lose X-reality and low light camera performance?

Thanks.

Hello, guys, some days ago my phone broke, and I bought for my partner and me the Lenovo A916 from eBay. Unfortunately for us the phones came with a Trojans and spyware pre-installed and unable to delete them, at the start I panicked but after a while I read online that the only solution was to root the phone and remove the programs. As I am not a tech guy, I could only do it through a program like king root (as it is easy, a few clicks). While the Trojans and the spyware are gone, our phones seem to have many issues: random installation of apps, random adverts, SMS delay to arrive at the sender and sometimes to receive. Is there any way to install any good rom (If I am not mistaken that what's its called and you do it through Odin ?) can anyone help us please? I can't afford to get us a new phone.
