THIS IS NOT MY WORK

I found this while perusing VK after following a link from 4pda. I'm stuck at bootloop, but I thought I'd share it anyways.

As far as I can tell, it was ported by Zhenya Konyshev (He posted the link)

The build.prop mentions Linuxoidrus though.

The post on VK has since been taken down, but I saved the link :)

DO NOT TRY AND USE THIS FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN TESTING AS IT IS ALPHA QUALITY

If you are going to flash it, the usual rules apply

1. Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik

2. Install Zip

3. Reboot and Test ;)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdm225:
Hi all,

I use my personal phone (specifically a phone that I own) for both home use and work use and I am considering rooting my phone so I can make some changes to the system UI file. I know that one of the checks that the "Device Policy" app checks for is to see if the phone is rooted so I was wondering if anyone has rooted their phone and successfully been able to pass the device policy check? Specifically I am looking to find out if:

1. would something like root cloak work?

2. if root cloak will not work, has anyone rooted the phone, made the changes, and then disable root leaving the phone running un-rooted so that the device policy check still succeeds? (I ask as I do not need permanent root, just access to fix some of the annoyances that come with stock android).

Thanks,

dave

It's Amazing.

And no, this isn't a case of "This feature is great because I have never used it", it's the scanner that's amazing. My iPhone 5S's touch ID would fail MULTIPLE times per day. I haven't ever experienced a fail on my nexus imprint, even when I am straight out of a shower. Did I mention it's super fast and doesn't even require tapping the power button?
[Nexus 5X General] Dri94:
The new iPhone 6s scanner is just as fast but I'm with you. This scanner is top notch. Beats the s6 by a mile
[Nexus 5X General] RakumiAzuri:
I had to put in "wet" prints for it to unlock. Yes, this is a amazing feature
[Nexus 5X General] yoyololo:
My finger was mysteriously dry though... Also I purposely put some moisture on my fingers and my scanner and it works! Holy cow this is amazing compared to my 5S which won't unlock even with a dry finger.
[Nexus 5X General] sn0warmy:
I'm not sure I agree. I have a 6S for work and in side by side comparisons the finger print scanner on the 5X is actually just a hair faster every single time. But what I love most (about both) is that the scanner has never failed a single time for me with either phone. That's the most important part.
[Nexus 5X General] Raistlin1:
I have noticed that sometimes it just will not register a print no matter what position my finger is in. Its almost like the scanner stopped working, this has happened maybe two or three times. Last time it happened the phone was in airplane mode and I was just using it after my morning alarm.
[Nexus 5X General] sn0warmy:
Try washing your hands. :p
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I have both the S6 and the N5X, and the 5X blows the S6's FPS out by MILES.

Like, I don't know about your guys, but my thumb naturally rests at a sideways angle when I'm in my GS6, so having my thumb scan upwards was a pain. Instead, I opted to scan it sideways. And it works... For the most part...

And that "for the most part" means that it doesn't catch my scan all the time, due to it being sideways. I actually had to set up two different positions of scans for the S6, one of the topmost of my thumb, and one for the lower part. Even then, it stills gets it about 8.5/10 times.

But my N5X, though..... Every. Single. Time.
[Nexus 5X General] yoyololo:
I have never used any fingerprint scanners other than the 5S, but let's just say that Google and LG did quite an amazing job with the sensor. It works every single time. And the best thing is, the placement is quite natural. It's so natural that I am actually having trouble NOT unlocking the phone when I am just holding it.

That"s a new level of natural.
[Nexus 5X General] Ceiryus:
Has anyone have trouble with their fingerprint sensor not working while their phone is plugged into the charger? (stock charger)

When plugged in sometimes says "finger moved too fast" or just does not register. Cannot even add a new fingerprint while charging. The most I get is it registers the first tap then nothing.

Otherwise it works perfectly when not plugged in.
[Nexus 5X General] paulhott:
I'm the same way, it's almost annoying how easy it unlocks. Though I would rather have the problem of it unlocking too easily rather than too difficult (as has been with any other android fingerprint scanner)
[Nexus 5X General] NOSTALGIA:
ive got a chance to use the 6s rosegold.. it was fast.... but not as fast as the 5x. u never see the lockscreen.. and no need to use the click power button to unlock it
[Nexus 5X General] hking0036:
Mine has been really consistent too - I guess it's the adjustment it has you do but even if my hands are wet, dry, whatever it works great, no matter what angle you hit it at.
[Nexus 5X General] kyedmipy:
What be really cool if there was a way to hack it to give us a scroll feature when reading.
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
Nexus 5x or n6P were not the first on the fingerprint reader. But they implemented it like it should be.
[Nexus 5X General] jackdubl:
I must admit, after never using any security on my phone(and always feeling a little uneasy about it) due to the incumbrance, I love the fingerprint scanner. And love the position.
[Nexus 5X General] 11100s:
+1,this is one of my favorite thing's about n5x. Sometime when having my phone laying on the table I wish the fingerprint scanner would be in front panel of device.

Στάλθηκε από το Nexus 5X μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Yes the fingerprint scanner is really good. Super convenient. Wouldn't be able to use a phone without one.
[Nexus 5X General] Pat123:
Are there any apps yet that allow you to lock/unlock other Apps using Nexus Imprint?
[Nexus 5X General] yoyololo:
I saw one on Xposed called "MaxLock"... Not the most stable of things to say the least, but...
[Nexus 5X General] Pat123:
I don't think it supports fingerprint authentication.
[Nexus 5X General] yoyololo:
There's a beta that does so.
[Nexus 5X General] ferhatugur:
on stock rom i almost hated it because most of the time it asked for the pattern after touching scanner. but i'm on a custom rom (chroma) since yesterday and it does its job perfectly!
[Nexus 5X General] ownernoob1:
damn, i love that fingerprint sensor, had that sensor in note 4 which doesnt work because i installed cm 12 after i unboxed it. then i bought ipad 3 mini but i didnt used it because i only produced with it. nexus 5x sensor is perfect, it opens my phone when i place my finger on it. placement for that scanner is also perfect. damn i wait to get usb c to usb a cable so i can root that phone.
[Nexus 5X General] Czepek:
I love this featute but, sometimes my phone depands from me to use also PIN after turning phone on on finger print. If a leave phone for longer for example. But when i set screen off for a moment the PIN is not needed

Do you know how to avoid that and set just fingerprint turning?
[Nexus 5X General] petow:
Czepek -

I think I had the same issue. For me, I turned off all of the locksceen security and then turned it back on, redoing all of my fingerprints. Worked for me and hope it does for you
[Nexus 5X General] IWantedTheUsername'nern':
If the problem is that the PIN is asked for after turning on the phone, you can turn this off in Settings> Security> Screen Lock> PIN
[Nexus 5X General] Evo_Shift:
I love it. I used to keep my phone unlocked because the pattern/pin annoyed me. Now I always have it locked. I wish there was another scanner on the front though. When I'm at work it would be awesome to unlock it while it's laying on the desk. I do like it on the back as well though so it's a toss on which I'd prefer. My wife's note 5 has it on the front and it seems nice.
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
Same here regarding used to keep it always unlocked now always have it locked. I'd like to try one on the side as well, like the Xperia5 has. I like the clean lines of the 5X front without a button/sensor best
[Nexus 5X General] vanessaem:
I still wish the scanner was on the front. It would be nice if the scanner could be read when lying down on a table. But yeah besides that, the fingerprint scanner is a win on this device.
[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
I also never kept my device locked just because it was inconvenient, so I do enjoy the added security along with being even more convenient than a swipe. Am I alone in finding the fingerprint scanner only works well with 1 finger though? I have both right and left index fingers saved, but the left finger rarely works. I've deleted and rescanned multiple times, but it still rarely works with finger #2. Fingerprint 1 (right index finger) works great, first try almost every time.
[Nexus 5X General] Danariel:
My husband and I both have the 5x (mine is Ice, his black of course.) We've each set up both index fingers, and each set up a finger on the other's device (we've always used the same pattern on pattern locks, too.) Never had a problem with either scanner working on all 3 fingers. (I HAVE to have access to his phone, I'm his tech support! I do all the rooting and app/widget setup, even though HE has the IT degree...)
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
More secure than the Priv

I'm also one of those who never locked their phone until the 5x. Imprint makes it convenient to be secure.

Move aside Blackberry Priv: Google's Nexus devices are more secure with a fingerprint sensor and forced encryption. Priv just has bootloader protections and can't even match the security available on stock Android 6.0.
[Nexus 5X General] TheLastSidekick:
The fingerprint scanner is amazingly accurate and not to mention, FAST. It basically forces you to have a reason to keep your device locked and secured now since it's not a hassle whatsoever to unlock.
[Nexus 5X General] :
For me it's very fast, and works on all 3 fingers i added so far.. unlike on my old S5 that had swipe fingerprint and very bad accuracy.
[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
After closer examination and setting up fingerprint number 2 I think my problem may be my finger. There is a small part of my left index finger that my fingerprint pattern is almost non-existent. I have fairly rough hands anyway, so I'm thinking that is the issue. Seems to work fine if I make sure that little part of finger isn't on the scanner.
[Nexus 5X General] Cirkustanz:
Sometimes the fingerprint sensor won't work at all, until I turn on the phone. When I turn on the phone, it works instantly, and has done so every time this happens.

Does the fingerprint sensor ever turn off? It seems like mine does.
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
I believe my sensor has not worked ~2 times since owning the phone on launch day. The other 10,000 or so times it's been flawless. Are you running all stock or have you modded? That would be my first troubleshoot step, to remove mods
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
I started a thread about this I think in the Q&A section. For me it was the Elemental X kernel although it has been said it's not a kernel issue since it's happened to some on stock too. One sec, I'll find the thread.. Here ya go, see if anything there will help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tdenicola1:
My 7 week old Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 G920VVRU4BOG9, android version 5.1.1. died yesterday for reasons unknown. It is now back on but has been wiped clean. I had to do what I believe is called a hard reset. I don’t care about anything else on this phone but I’m desperate to get back the pictures and videos. By any chance is it possible yet to recover deleted photos off of a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920VVRU4BOG9)? I've been reading about it since yesterday and everything tells me I must root my phone; however, it looks like from what I am reading, even if I wanted to, I canNOT root my particular Verizon S6 model. None of the android data recovery tools appear to work without 1st rooting my phone.

I stupidly do not have a backup of my phone as I believed the VZW cloud was backing up all my data. It did not save my pictures/videos, only my contacts. Samsung tech support was worthless. I’ve disconnected the WIFI and have done almost nothing on the cell today except exchange a few necessary text messages and phone calls. I don’t want to chance overwriting anything if it can somehow be retrieved/salvaged.

I’ve tried Wondershare Dr Fone for Android, Asoftech Data Recovery, Kvisoft Data Recovery, Ease US data recovery. None have worked. Again, from what I’ve been reading, a rooted phone appears to be required in order to locate that lost data using recovery software. The problem seems to be VZW.

Anyhow, I appreciate anyone’s 2cents. If you happen to know of any Geek Squad-like, paid for services, I’m willing to pay someone to get these picture and videos back. Thank you so much for your time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:
Did you have Google or Samsung or any other backup turned on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
Yes, I would check Google for a backup of your pictures. I'm assuming no Dropbox account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tdenicola1:
I have a Samsung account so I can use the "find my phone" option in case of a lost or stolen phone. I asked them if they offer any cloud backup and the rep told me NO.

I do have a Google account and Google Drive as well. I couldn't find any of my pictures there though. I really appreciate your response though. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tdenicola1:
I did check my Google account and unfortunately, none of my phone's pictures were in Google Drive. I do not have a dropbox account. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
Try changing your search parameters in Google Play....seems I recall a co-worker having a similar issue that he was able to partially resolve using apps that were specifically for Picture recovery. If that doesn't work, you are to the "find someone who can pull stuff off flash memory" stage. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tdenicola1:
Thank you. I did try adding those apps- which is great to know they have those! Unfortunately, none of them worked for me. I'm still holding out hope but at the same time realizing the likelihood of getting those pictures back is very slim. Thanks again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
I would install es file explorer on it and just go thru all the folders you can find. Even though you aren't rooted you can still copy files should you happen to find them or cache versions of them. You can copy you just can't modify or write to the system folders and such. I used this just yesterday to copy the launcher apk of my Moto Maxx 2 so I could copy out the stock wallpapers. Haha. Good luck.

A hard reset formats the user data partition. Those files are gone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus_5_:
I have a nexus 5 16 GB and i downloaded the recent software update android 6.0.1 and then I decided to root and I used 'Nexus root toolkit v2.06' and first unlocked the bootloader and then rooted. Everything worked fine but after the process was complete it was rebooting and the booting animation went on and on for many hours and the device did not root. I really don't know what's going on. My purpose is to install a custom rom: cyanogenmod 12. Now what should I do ???? PLEASE HELP. When i try to enter recovery mode it shows a picture of the android mascot with opened back and exclamation and cannot enter command as well. and after some time the booting animation begins and goes on and on...

please help...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Unless something has changed, version 6. requires that you flash a special kernel before you can root your phone otherwise you are as you are now, stuck in a boot loop. You should probably download the factory image from Google, and then flash the system image to get rid of what you have done.. Perhaps then your phone will start normally
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus_5_:
Thank you very much for the reply, I really do have no idea as to how to flash the factory image because i am very new in this area. Could you please recommend software and which factory image i should download, please ?? thanks very much.

:good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus_5_:
Also, you mentioned a 'special kernel' what does that mean. All i want to do to my device is install cyanogenmod 12 and for that i believe it needs to be rooted, so i am really confused. What should I do know :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buiatti:
I'm having this same problem, and unfortunately, when I start the phone on fastboot, I can not access the recovery mode in order to upload a factory image of nexus 5.

I used the new tool available her for quick flash, and now, I don't have a phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Eyes_:
First, don't panic. Your phone is still very easy to recover. Unfortunately I can't get you a complete walkthrough here (for now at least), so I'll give you the main idea and you'll have to do your homework (as maybe you should have done before).

1. You need to get fastboot working on your computer. It's included in the Android sdk package, but there might be some easier way to get it. Google it. You might need drivers for your pc too. Google it as well.

2. Then you need to get into fastboot mode on your phone. To do it, hold down power button AND volume down button until it gets into fastboot mode. You will see an android on his back with the cover open. At this point, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal on your pc and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes "". It should find your phone if fastboot is working. If it doesn't work go back to step 1.

3. Download TWRP recovery on your pc and place the img file in the same folder as your fastboot executable (not mandatory but easier). It can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/

4. Always in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img" assuming you downloaded that file, which you should have by the way. It should install fine. If you haven't placed the file in the same directory as your fastboot executable, you will need to provide the path to your img file as well.

5. Then use the volume rocker to switch between modes and choose reboot recovery.

6. You should now be in TWRP recovery. At this point, download a custom kernel (anyone found on xda for hammerhead should do) and push it to your phone. It should be fairly simple with TWRP. Then flash your new kernel using install. It should help you get your phone booting normally. Alternatively, you can download a custom ROM like cm12.1 and flash it altogether. It will install everything needed for your phone to boot up too. Beware if flashing a ROM though, I strongly advice you to do a factory reset before flashing it. You will find that option in the wipe menu.

Hope it helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buiati:
Yesterday, I have tried everything to have my computer to recognize the "fastboot" command, and I installed like 2 or 3 different programs for that. With my old Windows 7, I have been able to push a flashed image to fix this issue, using the fastboot command, but with Windows 10, it's always telling me it's not a valid command. I'll keep trying it, otherwise, i'll have to "resurrect" my old Windows XP computer.

Also, I noticed now that, while trying to install the fastboot, as per some files that I could download, but no file has been copied into my computer, not even if I run it as admin.
