[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.broken.star:
PROS:

1) Cheap

2) Good value for money

CONS:

1) Screen quality is very cheap

2) After sale service pathetic

3) OS Upgrades are weekly but still running on Kitkat

4) Xiaomi does not release full Kernel sources on time, resulting in buggy third party ROMs
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogalxxx:
PROS:

1) Cheap

2) Good value for money

3) nice screen colors

4) nice battery life (better than my n5)

5) 64 gb-no sd slot

CONS:

1) no sd slot

2) plasticky

3) a grid of dots on the screen

4) android 4.4 (easy to fix just install CM)

5) touchscreen problems when charging

6) huge, bulky but I have small hands

Would I buy it again? Too bulky for me, I'd go for mi4 32gb. Other than that great phone for a great price.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i snort flour:
Pros have been fairly well explained but I'll add some more cons to the list.

Cons:

1. Radio is rather weak in these phones. I often times get no signal or it likes to sit at the 2 to 3 bar spot in my area on average.

2. They try and cram to many phones into the same rom causing loss of confusion and frustration in both the user and devs sides.

3. The speaker in this phone is really weak so don't count in hearing a call in your pocket unless you tweak the kernel or mixer_paths.xml which is going to make your phone distort listening to music.

4. Phone vibration is extremely weak as well and you won't feel it in you're pocket at least I can't even after cranking it up in a custom kernel.

I could list more but I don't really feel I have to.

Could I have done worse for $300? Yes I could have.

Would I buy it knowing what I know now? Probably not.

For $300 I would probably get the 64gb zenfone 2 or the oneplus one.

I just bought my brother a 64gb oneplus two and despite all the negative reviews I love that phone compared to this 1 as I do not ever want nfc and 64gb with otg support is more than enough. The speaker in the oneplus two isn't great either but it's louder than this one and if you just download a couple of louder notifications and ringtones it's great. The radio also runs circles around this phone giving 4 to 5 bars compared to my 2 to 3 bars of service. Oneplus also beats it in battery life compared to my phone.

Agreed :good:
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MM.626:
PROS:

1) cheap

2) camera isnt the worst

3) easy to root

4) decent battery life

5) 64gb max

CONS:

1) no gorilla glass

2) camera can record slow motion, but the quality is [po op]

3) i personally think miui is ugly, miui is still in kitkat and xiaomi dont wanna release full kernel source

4) phone is hot when using

5) no sd card slot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderas20:
hello everyone.

I'm trying to root my MotoG 2014 with Windroid 2.5. I follow the instructions as in the official thread and I'm stuck.

1. Unlock bootloader -> No problems so far.

2. Flash TWRP (3G) -> Windroid says it succeeded flashing and it's about to reboot my phone. It does so, but then the program crashes. My phone reboots and I end up in the bootloader menu with two choices:

- Boot up normally

- Booy in recovery mode: this option leads me to a "No command" screen. OK. I bypass this screen by pressing volume up + power button, and select "update from SD" (or something similar). I am able to see "SuperSU.zip", but I can't progress either, as it complains about a signature.

¿any idea?

Thanks in advance!

TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT for M7​

Description

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.

Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom “ROM” like OmniROM

You can find the source code for TWRP at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/

TWRP is:

Biggest and best community driven Recovery Project

Highly Customisable

User Friendly

TWRP issues

I have a strange issue. My phone refuses to boot into all recovery versions, with the exception of 2.7.1.0 or 2.7.1.2. After flashing any other versions, the phone gets to "Entering Recovery", stalls there for about 10 seconds, then reboots back into the ROM I am running. Anyone else experience this issue?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] liam_davenport:
Run command: fastboot erase cache then flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[One (M7) Original Android Development] antharr:
I think it's time for a new phone. This one is giving me fits. I can't get either of my computers to see the phone while in Fastboot USB mode. I can boot into recovery and run the adb devices command and it picks up the device. When I run while in fastboot, no devices show up. Windows picks up the phone when the phone boots into the OS.

Update:

As of somwhere in 2016 TWRP is not actively developed for HTC M7. Only MDMower still develops it for the device. That's why link to his site is provided as download link.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] deepeeem:
Sorry to read on Matt's website (no URL allowed):

"End-of-Life, 21 Mar 2017: No further updates are planned for this device."

So, I guess TWRP 3.1.N0 is the last TWRP for us :crying:

Question: why is the TWRP devicelist (no URL allowed) not linking to the universal builds (no URL allowed)? Now when you search for your M7 device you only get the 3.0.2 build, while the universal build 3.1.0 is offically available.

Right now I'm using SlimKAT ROM build 9.0 with franco kernel r80, CWM recovery.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PluckyJokerhead:
The other day, my friend gave me his old Xperia T as it had started to act up and eventually stopped turning on entirely. I took it home, downloaded a generic 4.3 ftf and flashed it. Although the phone now boots, it occasionally reboots or just flat out turns off (without warning - the screen just goes black and I have to turn it back on again). I have tried flashing a few different ftfs, and the problem still persists. Does anybody know how I can stop this and finally be able to abandon my Arc S for good?

So as we all know there are a few ROMs in the alpha stages that may or may not be posted on Xda yet. This post was created for us users to share our experiences on these various ROMs as they progress from alpha to beta and so on.

Rule 1: this isn't a how to flash over from x ROM to y ROM. Not why I created this. If you come with that noise expect to get heckled as it is the first rule.

Rule 2: State clearly what ROM you are on. Know what bootstack you are on.

Rule 3: logcat or it didn't happen.. Even tag the developer when you post

Rule 4: No xposed talk! If you use it don't post here!

Rule 5: Be helpful and enjoy the thread!

Not many links for roms on any device. Best advice is grab the rom as soon as an update is released. Flawed for old unsupported devices but useful for when your device becomes legacy.

I wish I stole my HTC M9.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterm1:
Recently I've downloaded 1.1GB from there and transfer was about 30-50kb/s (fluid all the time).

Some roms you can find on Mega or etc, but they are hard to find.

You could try use Google and adding known download pages - for example Mega

I9300TDUUGNA4 mega.co.nz

My solution for slow download is to leave download for a night and set computer auto turn off. For Windows command line is:

shutdown /s /t 7200

7200 is time in seconds (2 hours)

Time should be set at least 10 minutes more, than aprox. download time displayed in browser (on download bar).

As to why. If something goes wrong you will need a PC to fix it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Because if something goes sideways, and eventually it will, youl'll have no clue what it did, and how to fix it.

Nexus phones have open source tools, adb and fastboot, to manipulate them, they are very easy and straightforward to use.

I understand that coming from different phones, that only have hacks and tricks to unlock the bootloader and change the recovery, using tools seems obvious, but with a Nexus it's counterproductive, and makes fixing things so much harder.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khw1959:
Thank for that insight. I wanted and took the easy/prepared route for unlocking and root of this phone. I was once familiar with manual way when the N2 was unlocked. I got to re-learn again. My last job made me very anal retentive about following instructions, and I think that made the rootkit easy to use. In 3 days I used it when I got with 5.1.1 and yesterday for 6.0. Today I flash Roms to find the one I like.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Because at one time it did require a kernel change to get root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Because you needed a custom boot.img to root 58K too. It will either contain a modified kernel with SELinux set to permissive (I've patched mine by hand, so I know what I'm talking about), or contain an updated sepolicy binary to allow su to work. Also since you said you didn't have red triangle, it means your fstab.shamu was also replaced with one with disabled verity.

So. Don't use rootkits. If you do use rootkits and discover you don't know what's happening, at least please don't keep correcting those who try to help you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
I was hoping that someone would answer this. Flashing files and rooting on Linux is MUUUUCH easier than Windows. Why? No need for special drivers to recognize your device.

Even better, if you try to run a(n) adb/fastboot command without having them installed, Linux will tell you the actual command for you to type and download/install them...all within the command window.

This might sound confusing, but it is really easy and seamless, in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Most of what you said depends on your distro.

On Arch you definitely need to add u-dev rules for the phone to be noticed, and if you dont have them installed and you try to run it, it won't tell you how to download.

But.... If you install via a package manager it will be automatically added to your path :p

Also, I have NEVER downloaded drivers for my phone in windows, and never needed to.
