Hi newbie here . I have a problem on my lenovo p780 8gb 119 rom (bootloop). I already flash it via flash tool... Now, my problem is i cant turn it on, i can only turn it on once i press and hold the power vol+ vol- and choose restart and then i can use it for a while but if i plug in the usb cable, the phone suddenly turns off and the process goes back again...

Hope you all guys out there can help me. tia :(:(:(:(:(:(

Note: i can only turn it on(recovery) with the help of usb cable/charger.

Already updated to stock rom to kitkat and still the same problem.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Let me see... You have the Lenovo P780 SPEED edition. This means that your phone after 04.2014. You need to flash your phone with the new preloader.

Look on your phone box, on the back of the box and read there.

Sooo.. Now because of this wrong preloader, your PC cannot detect your phone.

Now to reflash your phone you do all the things to prepare flash, press flash button,connect the phone, and now come the tricky part:

- open the back case of your phone and press small red button for 20 secconds. Not optional. More yes, less no.

Try this and tell me what happent.

hi. my pc can detect my phone... i already install all the necessary drivers, the only problem is that i can only do download and format + download. Every time i choose firmware upgrade then click download on v5 of flash tool, the response is unrecognized rom. but in flash tool v3 error 4001 da download failed. regarding the phone box, i dont know where it is... its been a long time.. maybe they already trash it... is it possible for you to do team viewer? Can you also send me a link for the preloader?

Thanks

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Thank you for this as this is very useful!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Thanks!

I was surprised that there was not a unmodified flashable Google rom out so I put one together.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
I tried myself too but gave up :(

I wonder: this is a one time project? I mean if there's a new factory image can i just extract the system.img and put it into your zip and never ever bother you again? :)

(I'm not able to download today hence the question)

EDIT: please don't mind the kernel in this question
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I'm planning on releasing more versions as Google releases it's monthly updates.

To answer your other question it's not as simple as just extracting the system.img but isnt too hard. Basically you extract the actual system.img from the Google update. Then use ext4 unpacker to unpack it into an ext4 file. Then you use ext2 explore to unpack the ext4 file which gives you the system folder with all the files within. Then just take the system folder a compatible boot.img and a working meta-inf folder and zip them up. Then you have your Rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Thank you for this info and explanation but after reading this i think i will just download your releases if you don't mind :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Lol that's fine with me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
Yeah, thanks for the explanation, its nice to learn about stuff that has bewildered you for ages.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Feel free to ask any other questions.

Yea that's very simple way to make a Rom. I wouldn't call myself a dev or anything. The other custom roms require a lot more work like modifying system apks to add the extra features. This is just full unmodified stock with a kernel. I figured it would be a great base to flash cataclysm over. Seeing how it's recommended to flash cataclysm over a full stock Rom this is as close as it gets right now. People have had luck flashing cataclysm over other stock modified roms but I worry that those modifications may cause issues with the modifications of cataclysm. With that said I'm personally running it without cataclysm. I just removed a few gapps I'll never use flashed and installed around 10 team blackout apps, and applied magpie midnight theme for a almost fully blacked out experience.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dhruvmalik:
As stated above by others, I was also surprised that there wasn't a flashable stock ROM available, primarily for those who wish to be stock, use xposed and or mods like Cataclysm.

This is working awesome; thanks [MENTION=2476191]GavinMazey[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GeekMcLeod:
Great idea, I'll probably be checking it out soon with CatMod. Any chance you could debloat it? It's not hard for me to just use Tibu to do it, but one less thing to do is always nice. No worries if you can't.

Thanks for the rom!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuestD0701:
Thank you for this!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I'm not really planning on debloating, there is a plethora debloated roms for the n6. But if enough end up wanting it I might. But if I do it would be my personal debloat instead of removing as much as possible. Keeping it stock let's me update faster when google drops new images.

Thanks for checking it out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cink40:
+ 1 on NOT debloating. Every one could do it how they like it by themselves.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks.. It's good to know I have an option to flash the zip. I might load up cataclysm tonight
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HueyT:
This is great for those who want fresh out of box stock experience with working ANDROID PAY. Once you root it, trim it, customize it, then ANDROID PAY won't work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Noted. That was my thought too stock bloated base for users to do what they want with it. I personally use most of the gapps included, I personally only delete sheets, slides, and fit (I may be a fatty lol). I've found most debloated roms remove too much so instead of having the gapps taking up system space I have to install them to internal storage taking up space where they don't need to be.

Too much free system space is wasted space imo.

If your already on android m you should be good to flash this then cataclysm. Report back how it went if you do. Haven't had too much feedback on users actually flashing it. Hopefully because all works great [emoji12]

That's exactly why I kept it unrooted. In theory someone could flash this Rom and then cataclysm without root and have a custom Rom with working Pay just no root. No where that I've been around me accepts pay so I am unable to test. But in theory it should work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
I am thinking about using multirom with this zip, cataclysm, and a lollipop rom.. Maybe kitkat too for one game that only works on kitkat lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Flashing cataclysm will replace the included kernel with cataclysm kernel which you'll need to check supports multirom, I'm not sure off the top of my head. But if not re flashing the included kernel by gerar_f after cataclysm will give you multirom support. Also I'm not entirely sure you can run kitkat and marshmallow in multirom at the same time. I haven't used it myself but I think (I may be wrong) that multirom uses your main kernel for all other roms. So a different android version may not work properly. Again I might be wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Sounds like it could be the case as far as kernels go. Makes sense, I'll read up on it on the multirom thread. Thanks for the input. I like marshmallow but before I upgraded I had most of the mods working for me without any issues on lollipop. The viper mod esp works better on lollipop for me, the sound enhancement is nowhere near as explosive on marshmallow. I don't know if you use that sound mod yourself. But on pure nexus rom I am not getting the full effect. 30 percent volume level on lollipop is louder than 100 percent on Android m. Maybe it's the Rom or something else. I think I'll just use lollipop and marshmallow. Might have to delete some system apps to make some room

You said you could also flash the image within twrp? Flashify could do the same? So many options, fastboot is also very easy too. I got my phone close to the end of October so I don't know if there are newer factory images for the nexus 6.

Did you ever try any gamepad on your rom and if so did you do it without an otg cable?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I actually have not tested any sound mods on the N6. Coming from the note 3 with a single bottom facing speaker the n6 seems loud enough stock. Granted I have had the phone in my pocket and missed a call because I didn't hear it (loud environments). There is not much I can do on my end to improve sound mods though. I'm not really a dev, Ie I'm not coding or modifying things in the Rom basically just extracting and packaging what google provided. With a kernel made by someone else. I'd think the sound mods will get better with time. M's only been out a few months.

You can flash the Rom in twrp, flashify will flash kernel and recovery only, system.img from google needs to be flashed with fastboot.

Never used a gamepad but I assume it should work here if it works on stock google Rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Good ROM but the settings do not work. Initially the settings would force close on setting a pin but now the settings just hang up when I click on Settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Did the settings work before setting a pin? What kind of Mods are you using? (xposed, cataclysm, layers?

Edit... Just set up a pin on my device and settings are working fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
I got it working by flashing the elite kernel. To answer your question, the settings hung up every time I tried setting the pin or pattern lock. I'm using the ROM straight without layers, etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Ok thanks for the explanation I have cataclysm flashed over the Rom right now but I'll reflash the stock Rom and do some testing. Bout to run out to work so it might not be till tomorrow. Your good to go for now with elite?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Yep, I'm good to go. Have a great Thanksgiving.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Can you flash cataclysm after flashing stock while in twrp or do you setup everything first ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Yea you can flash both at the same time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks. Got it up and running with elite kernel.. Going to try viper and og YouTube but first have to apply magpie.. Looks abnormal without it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Nice magpie is a must [emoji4]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
It is. Maybe there's a real dark theme in there somewhere for the pull down/statusbar menu. There's so many options. What kind of mods are you using and how's your battery life like on cataclysm?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bmakk2055:
I was surprised also, thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
OK i can confirm that the pin settings freeze and fc with the included kernel and with elemetal x. But it does work with elite kernel. This is weird because the ROM itself is stock Google. I'll be doing some more troubleshooting to figure out why its happening. I'm going to flastboot full stock and see if the problem is there too which I think it might be. Then I'll go from there to narrow it down to something kernel related or if it's not happening on full stock I'll try and figure out why its happening here which is basically full stock. I'll post when i have some more info.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HD2FORNICK:
Nice work Gavin. I'm running this now flawlessly. Nice work and thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
just a thought which crossed my mind, elite could be permissive while stock is SELinux enforcing and in EX enforicing would have to be unchecked in aroma installer. if that's the reason which first has to be verified and even if not, however does not need enforcing for good reason should go permissive because the many threads i'm following are still full with issues which are due to enforced SELinux ( i know the apps should be made compatible but some simply are not and some devs don't like enforcing and others wouldn't work properly by purpose and/or design )
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Bingo! Thanks for the input that was it. Just flashed elemetal x with enforcing unchecked and pin is working. Doesn't really make sense to me though seeing as the ROM is basically just stock which should be fully compatible with an enforcing kernel. Not sure how to proceed from here. Any suggestions?

Edit... I should also mention that an enforcing kernel works fine with cataclysm flashed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
no suggestions, sorry, will probably be fixed eventually, perhaps to mention it in the cata thread? there are often weird connections between things and i try to stick to the facts and try to find a way to avoid most of them and staying permissive has been the way since Lollipop to achieve that. this is basically a top example for it. no idea why, makes no sense on first glance but still is like that hence staying permissive avoids this to happen and never ever encounter it. those who flash the mod over altered roms will share the fate, sooner or later as those roms develop and receive tweaks and new features they will run into trouble. it's not easy to explain exactly, it's just to see the bigger picture somehow :) glad however that the guess hit bulls eye :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
When I get some free time, probably tomorrow night I'll get this pin stuff figured out. Need to fastboot stock to see if similar things are happening there then I'll have a better picture of why it is happening, if it's my fault, Googles, or a kernel issue. I'll update once I figure it out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Hey just realized I never responded. If your looking for another theme that's blacked put checkout Nicolas dark material. He just released a version with layers and cmte in one. Check here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3005868 been my favorite theme on cmte and layers version is getting good now.

Aside from that I'm not really using any Mods. Have a few team blackout apps installed and that's about it. I really only flash cataclysm so I can turn navigation bar to 80% size, center the clock, and have independent GPS and location quicksetting tiles. Battery life on cataclysm is about the same as stock. I'm getting 3-4.5 hours sot depending on use. Which I'm not super satisfied with, used to get more on lollipop closed to 5-6. But then I was using aosp based lollipop roms. From my testing the aosp roms have better batt life than stock based on M so far. But it could just be my usage, haven't really long term tested though. I flash stuff constantly [emoji12]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks, I will check those themes out for both lollipop and marshmallow since I'm using multirom.

I do notice that the battery life is not to my liking even with elite kernel compared to other ROMs. I will probably install a asop marshmallow ROM. I like pure nexus but the newest update is enforcing. On my lollipop ROM with elemental kernel the battery drain is slow.

As far as mods I've gotten them to work easily on first flash with stock unlike the other roms where I had some issues . but the battery is not to my liking.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MizzouBrent:
This is exactly what I am doing. I'll report back but I loaded up my cards and loyalty cards with no problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Awesome can't wait to hear back if it worked well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rodeojones:
Just in case anyone was wondering, I dirty flashed this over stock rooted MRA58K and so far I have no issues.

And yes, I understand it isn't recommended and I'm aware that if I encounter problems I should try a full wipe before going any further.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

[MENTION=2476191]GavinMazey[/MENTION]...

Is there a chance... MMB29K? ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Yea I was messing with it last night. Needed a proper kernel but I just saw gerar kernel updated so I'll add that in and have it out tonight hopefully.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
amazing, thank you!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I'm still working on getting this updated to MMB29K. I've been having issues getting it to boot. Basically on first boot right before the setup screen comes up I get the low battery noise and the phone shuts off. Anyone see this behavior on any other roms? And if so was there a solution?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Never seen this, sorry :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rodeojones:
Not sure if this could be related, but Chainfire mentioned something regarding issues with 6.0.1. I'm not a developer, so most of what he said makes no sense to me.

Latest cataclysm is for 6.0.1, this is still on 6.0 for now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I will not be able to update this again. Broke my nexus 6 and got a note 4 as a insurance replacement. Sorry to anyone who wanted a new stock rom but my scedule right now wouldnt of allowed me to update if i didnt break it either way. Keep enjoying your nexus 6's its a better phone than the note 4 imo.

Sorry for the delay, yea asurion through sprint did not have any they could send me. It was the the same with my nexus 5 about 6mo after relese asurion had no more and were getting no more. Kinda a bummer but my replacment note 4 is pretty good but damn i miss day 1 updates.

Something under the lens, near the top: http://imgur.com/a/SMXPU

I'm not sure what this is but looks like a speck of dust? But I'm not sure. What do you think? Is there a way to remove it without taking off the back cover completely (e.g. tapping the phone downwards, tapping the covert itself, etc.)

Not sure how it affects (or if it even does) image quality.. haven't noticed anything too unusual
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffr39:
Yep, looks like dust to me and I have mixed thoughts. One hand I say don't worry if it doesn't impact images, but also think if dust got in how dust/water proofed is the device?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawen:
I'm thinking more like dust went inside during the assembled of the device
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
I have the same thing and quite a bit... Doesn't affect most outdoor images, but if you I a desk light at a certain angle, the dust spots are more apparent (they look like floaters in your eye). I had the lens cover replaced when I had the left blur problem. JerryRigEverything said the lens cover is plastic and scratches and loosens up very easily if you use a knife to poke it...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciprianmp:
It looks like water vapors to me. Did you sink it in water? That's how my HTC camera looked after taking water. Could be that your device is not hermetic anymore. There is a test for that, using your service menu / pressure sensor and gently pushing on the screen. Google it up.

If it's not water but dust, you'd better test it though, as you don't want to put it in water if it's not water/dust proof anymore.

So, I recently bought an HTC one m9 and am pretty satisfied with the phone thus far. However, the snapdragon 810 does get pretty hot. I'm new to XDA developers and am not familiar with rooting or anything like that. But I do like to learn and so any solution is welcome except for tearing open my phone and voiding my warranty
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
If you installed the latest OTA updates the phone shouldn't get hot warm anymore. What firmware version is installed on your phone? (Power off your phone and wait some seconds. Then press and hold the volume down and the power button until you see a black screen. That's the Download Mode. You can find your current firmware version in the line with "OS" at the beginning.)
