[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1126:
Yes, I know how to flash an image and/or a ROM, unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do what this conversation, other than I do not want to wipe my device Einstein. Do you know how to SSH into a RHEL Server across a minimally perforated firewall to change jre environments for global profile enabled Linux applications on let's say, an Apache Web Server LBP?

I know how Linux works. Android is child's play.

You are completely ignoring the fact that there is a reason that T-Mobile Nexus 6 devices have NOT been given the green light for Android 6.0.

Really, why do you think that is? If it were such a simple solution, then it wouldn't have been 2 months and no update. Clearly, there are some technical details, that are probably WAY above your intrinsic level of comprehension, that are delaying the release of this image.

If you are too dense to comprehend that, then continuing this conversation is futile.

If anyone has any insight or information as to the delay, feel free to let me know.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android1126:
Brother, no offense, I'm not following you. The reason Wi-Fi calling pops up when you throw a T-Mobile SIM card into a Sprint phone, is because Wi-Fi calling is baked into Android 5.1.1.

Sorry, not sure what point you are trying to make. You do know that on the Google Developers Factory Images page, there are T-Mobile specific builds for the Nexus 6 right?

Even Verizon users, just started receiving 6.0 in this past week. The only other time this happened was with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and we all know what happened there. Exact same thing I am talking about. As a matter of fact, (will link to it later), we have already had an in-depth discussion about this on a different forum on this site. There are in fact different builds for different carriers.

The Universal build WILL work, no one is saying that it won't, but keep doing some research and you will see that many (and I mean many) users have reported incompatibility and/or broken functionality when flashing the Factory Images on their T-Mobile and also Verizon devices.

As far as what you are saying about a T-Mobile SIm card working in a Sprint Nexus 6. I don't think anyone is arguing that. We all know that to be the case, although I can guarantee you that if you put a Verizon SIM card into your Sprint/AT&T/T-Mobile Nexus 6, it will NOT work.

I know because I have Verizon service (for work), and I have tried. That is less about the phone being locked, and more about non Verizon IMEI's being blacklisted. My point is, that we know that the Nexus 6 is unlocked. That is not the question I am asking here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
For LP yes.

Yup, VZW took their sweet ass time testing and distributing it too.

Yet check that developer image page... and where is the VZW MM image?

Just because the carrier has not pushed it as an OTA does not mean it's a different build, because M is unified. So even though it took until last week for VZW to push it to their phones.... It's the same unified build that has been out this whole time.

I have a non VZW phone btw, and on VZW with a VZW sim. It works fine. You need to do your reading on this one, lots of us don't have Verizon issued phones, its only ATT that is carrier locked.

Many people had issues getting VZW to activate their nexus 6, this was not technical as much as it was people bringing their phones to VZW and VZW declining. People also had issues not getting their discount for buying a phone outright, but from early launch you could stick a VZW sim into a nexus 6 and use it

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
With upcoming availability of 6.0 , has anyone tried it yet ?

I wouldn't mind trying it but with Knox and such , I figure why temp the hand of fate after my present run in with 5.1.

It looks like they can root 6.0 .

I don't know if it's available for our phones yet .

Have any of you people done the update yet and if you have , what do you think of it ?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
I guess no one has played with it yet?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalkycroissant:
I believe its not available for our phones yet. As far as I've heard, as of a couple weeks ago, the beta is for Nexus devices only.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
I have shamed myself !

I was reading online somewhere that it was out.

I guess that explains it.

I think I read where they already have root for it.

Oh well,this 5.1.1 dog is getting old with all the restarts.

It was good in the beginning though.

Too bad the damned thing fell flat on it's face.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
It definitely sucks that Samsung has forgotten how special this phone is. That being said, I am contempt with 4.4.4. I don't think the Marshmellow update will be that good for the Edge but I could be wrong. I am hoping I am. Marshmellow with the Edge features integrated like it is in 4.4.4 with the same or better battery life is all I want
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
I can only see 6.0 being worse with all security crap built into this 5.1.1 over 4.4.4.

I've come to refer to this phone as the "restart retard".

5.1.1 was great when it first was installed on my phone and when it works right,it's fast.

The problem is:

How often does it work right?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve austin:
I'm good.

Two weeks ago my edge was acting retarded. I sent it back and got a refurbished one (because I refuse to get the new note 5 iPhone clone). My new edge shipped with 5.1.1 installed. Surprisingly I have no issues at all. No restarts or headaches. Fingers crossed. If T-Mobile gives us a crappy marshmallow version - if Samsung even remembers they made the phone - I will have no issues going back to kit Kat because i miss the camera button not being on the edge any longer.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
I don't know if you can go back from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 in your case ?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Yep, was the best place for it, felt more like a camera there and was easy to access.. On screen is just a ***** of a place to put it...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
That was ultimately what made me go back to Kit Kat. I coulda dealt with my notifications popping up on screen every now and then but removing the shutter button from the Edge screen was too much. or someeone with moderate hands, the edge shutter made taking pics and selfies soo fricking easy

Do let us know if you are able to go down to 4.4.4. I would like to play around with some Note 5 Custom ROMs and be able to go back to 4.4.4 stock. Seems to be the best thing this phone ever got from Samsung.

Any word on how long your screen time is on 5.1.1? I only get about 5 hours on 4.4.4 stock. And yeah I also have a TMobile phone running on MetroPCS so basically TMobile
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve austin:
I am getting around four to four and a half hours of screen time at the moment. It does go down to about 4 on most occasions because I do a lot of YouTube. However I really don't care because I carry an extra battery - which I can't do with the note 5. With regards to going back to the KitKat version… below is a message that I got from one of the helpful subscribers on this board who help me out with this a while ago. Actually went back to KitKat about 7 months ago and I had it on my phone that I recently returned. I just have not put KitKat back on the new phone that I got last week I did not feel the need to do it at this point since I'm having no problems right now with the lollipop version that I have. If anything should happen in the next few months where I have to start all over again then I may do this process and go back to KitKat. It is very simple to do and I had no problems with the installation hopefully it works for you as well.

Hello Steve,

To downgrade back to KitKat without tripping Knox, you will need to download an official Samsung firmware. I found official firmware at*www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Type in model number SM-915T and download the most recent version of KitKat. The most recent version of KitKat for the Note Edge on T-Mobile was dated 12-2-2014. Before you are allowed to download files from sammobile, you will need to create a free user account.

When you click on the firmware version you want, there will be instructions that tell you how to install the firmware. When I downgraded, I was told to download ODIN v3.09. I checked sammobile today and it looks like they updated the instructions to include a newer version of ODIN. Sammobile doesn't have ODIN available for download on their website, but I'm sure you can easily find it using Google or asking on XDA.

Here are some tips that is not listed in the instructions on Sammobile. If you follow their instructions and your phone is taking more than 5 minutes to fully turn on (stuck on the T-Mobile logo/screen), you will need to wipe/factory reset your Note Edge. To do this, I pulled out my battery and started my phone in recovery mode (Hold volume up and the home button while turning on the phone). Wipe the cache/factory reset your device and your Note Edge should be up and running again. To make sure that I don't receive OTA updates from T-Mobile, I disabled the software update app.

Remember, when you go through this process, you will lose all pictures/docs/downloads/etc. on your phone. Backup what you need before downgrading.

Good luck with the downgrade. If all goes well, you will definitely enjoy everything that made the Note Edge unique.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve austin:

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de2000:
Yeah, I really hated doing that, but the consistency of performance and firmware updates just can't be beat. Apple Pay is a pleasure to use. The fingerprint scanner is ultra fast. Very good battery life. Yada yada yada... the list goes on. I do miss the Edge's screen color and resolution. I also miss the wonderful alarm clock of the Edge. Perhaps when Marshmallow comes out for it, the new firmware, I hope, will fix all the issues that this past update broke.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselhazza:
What cpu does the note edge have?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve austin:
I did not take a look at your comment until today. I was able to go back yo kit kay with the 5.0.1 version of lollipop. Today I tried to dod the same procedure as before and odin gave me a fail notice. I thought it was a debugging issue bit I cut it on and it still did not take. Sis you know why and if so is there a way around it? I should not have opened my big mouth about how smooth things were going. Now after the new update to 5.1.1 I get unsent texts and YouTube can't find a stream half the time. Ou want kit Kat back. FML.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
Things are getting interesting.

It seems over at Yellow Bullet forums there's a gentleman who has been forced an upgrade to Marshmallow from Lollipop and it's killing his battery

He says he had auto updates turned off and it was still forced on him.

I understand he's a Verizon customer as well.

This is already a known fact that the devices are the same...however they do not share the same radio frequencies. Cross-device flashing will not work.
[Blu Pure XL] clipcarl:
Maybe it would be best to have separate bounties for root and TWRP? While TWRP would be nice to have it's root that is the really important part. I'd hate for the release of root for our device to be delayed because the dev wanted to try to figure out how to compile TWRP just so they could collect the bounty. Remember, you can run root apps, make backups, install and use Xposed, etc. all without TWRP (or any other custom recovery).
[Blu Pure XL] ariot:
$25 for root from me
[Blu Pure XL] mhajii210:
Guys is there any root method for the Gionee Elife E8? I see that Kingo Root appears to work on the Gionee Elife E8. Others have tried and it doesn't seem to work on our phone. I believe it is a driver issue since I couldn't even get Helium to work using Windows. Here is a link to Kingo Root http://www.kingoapp.com/universal-android-root.htm. Maybe someone else can try and if it fails follow the directions and contact Kingo Android Root for support? I am using Android Pay now so I have no need for root at this time. I would ultimately love to have root on this phone once I am through fiddling with Android Pay (which doesn't support rooted devices).
[Blu Pure XL] sonmer:
Ill chip in 40.

I currently have about 30 days left to return the phone.

Currently bluetooth is flaky and doesnt usually work with the handsfree in the car.

I use an exchange email account for contacts and they currently do not sync from the mail app to the rest of the phone, so i never know who is calling.

Google voice contacts also do not sync with the phone properly.

I really want to like this phone, but they are trying to force me to hate it......

Probably going to get a replacement device just to try and eliminate the possibility of bad drivers.
[Blu Pure XL] jaybirdhawaii:
Interesting question .. how would you divide the bounties? 50/50? or? I like having TWRP there as my safety net.

Another question too is - once root is achieved - how much development do you guess there would be? I was using a OnePlus One (A0001) .. lots of ROMs for that even with the unusual sales system for that phone. I would love to see CM13, BlissPop, and definately ColorOS. I was using ColorOS 2.1.5i on the OPO - and for me it was running great. Similiar to what is on Blu Pure XL - but with a lot more customizations and better batter life. I think the guy who helped port ColorOS to OPO would be interested - but he would need to have a Blu Pure XL.

Having said all that - I'd chip in some $$ but I'd like to know if there will be a split/how the split will work ..
[Blu Pure XL] tylerhorsman:
definitely in!

Hey guys, currently using an OPO running CM13 nightlies. No real complaints about the phone but would love a larger/higher res screen and SD card capability. The ONLY thing holding me back from the BPXL is lack of root and custom roms. I'm assuming that would be coming soon though? Thoughts?

I would definitely throw another $50 USD into the pool to get root on the Blu Pure XL so that we can get some Marshmallow goodness eh?

[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
Root was achieved by getting TWRP recovery working, then flashing SuperSU 2.46.

However, TWRP is not 100% functional per my post:

- Backup and Restore works

- missing ADB connectivity ( adb sideload does not work, not adb push/pull from TWRP )

- cannot mount internal/external storage to PC

I'll continue to work on TWRP until it's 100%, but yes ROOT and TWRP are achieved. :)

My 2 cents:

TWRP was possible by using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 TWRP image ( [MENTION=4015860]xathras[/MENTION] Nov 14 post in Dev thread ) and me figuring out how to dump my phone images using SP Flash Tool.

[MENTION=4546066]spit85[/MENTION] went and flashed my initial test TWRP and SuperSU zip to verify TWRP worked. It did work and consequently gave him root.

Honestly, I worked a lot on this trying to get TWRP working (even during my breaks & lunch while at my job).

This bounty was my incentive to follow through with a seemingly impossible project (without source) and I hope I'm rewarded for my efforts as such.

Hey guys, after reading the root thread and using my half Dev, half Noob discernment; I feel [MENTION=1735457]acheron1502[/MENTION] is the Bounty winner. Everyone, please chime in with agreement or disagreement so we can get the ball rolling on payment dispersion.

I feel that if others are hard pressed to be included because they helped with info leading to the final root method, we should include them at 10% each of the total being taken from the pot and the remaining to go to [MENTION=1735457]acheron1502[/MENTION] no less than 50%. If the number of helper/10Percenters exceeds 5, Then we divide 50% amongst them equally and give the remaining 50% to [MENTION=1735457]acheron1502[/MENTION].

[Blu Pure XL] acheron1502:
I'll start.

I was the first to build and provide a working TWRP recovery for the phone. The recovery was used to flash SuperSu zip to obtain root.

Therefore, I believe I should get the bounty.

If I am to split the pot, it would be to the following:

[MENTION=1632145]FuMMoD[/MENTION] (already declined) for starting the process and showing me where NOT to go as he was getting stuck. ;)

[MENTION=4015860]xathras[/MENTION] (awaiting input) for doing initial research and posting the link to Redmi Note 2 TWRP that I used for porting.

[Blu Pure XL] dexterxx:
As I said somewhere - I don't want anything, otherwise I've did nothing, just tested on my device and make images. Root is bounty for me ;)

I believe [MENTION=1735457]acheron1502[/MENTION] should take all / most of bounty for working recovery, that is most important for me. It will be great if current bugs will be fixed in TWRP.
