I just did this last night. Easy fix. Follow these steps. Put all the factory image files in the platform-tools folder and run these steps in a command prompt. Let me know if you need more details. I went from never rooting a phone to loading 6.0.1 in about two hours. Which I would stay away from for now due to the battery bug. Stick with 6.0.0.

I extract factory image 6.0.0 (MRA58X)...

Now:

1) Which files i should copy to platform-tools folder?

2) Can I flash at the same time also SuperSU & TWRP

After i copy the file/files to platform-tools folder , is that what i should do?

1) Boot into bootloader mode.

2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .

3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):

- fastboot erase system

- fastboot flash system system.img

- fastboot format cache

Download the factory image from here.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en

Extract the .tgz file then the .zip file and put all the files in the platform-tools folder. You might need winrar to extract the .tgz file.

Then run the sequence below from a cmd prompt pointed to the platform-tools folder.

1) Boot into bootloader mode.

2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .

3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):

- fastboot erase system

- fastboot flash system system.img

- fastboot format cache

- fastboot flash cache cache.img

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

- fastboot reboot.

The .tgz file is the original file you download from this site. The factory image.

Extract the .tgz file, then the .zip file that extracts from the .tgz file, place all those files in the platform-tools folder then run the sequence above.

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

I'd been using my rooted Nexus 6P on stock ROM+kernel. Unfortunately, I locked the bootloader after installing TWRP and installing SuperSU. I know, it was a huge mistake but it happened.

Yesterday I wanted to unroot and factory reset the phone. I forgot that my bootloader was locked so I didn't flick that "enable oem unlocking" button. I tried "flash-all" directly on bootloader. Obviously it didn't work and after reboot it got stuck on Google screen. I waited for a while but nothing happened. I wiped system, vendor, cache... etc on TWRP upon a tutorial in this forum with the intention to flash stock ROM but again : my bootloader was locked.

Now, I can still use TWRP and push files through adb but cannot use any fastboot commands. I get this error:

FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)

I tried installing the whole "image-angler-mdb08l" on TWRP but I get this error:

Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Installing '/sdcard/image-angler-mdb08l.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
E:Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error flashing zip image-angler-mdb08l.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done

Is there any way to flash stock ROM with TWRP or should I try flashing a custom ROM and hoping to boot so I can enable that troublesome OEM unlock switch?

Compared to similar situations in 6P forum, I have the advantage of working adb and TWRP but I don't know if they even make a difference. Thanks for sparing time to read and your help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Witek_M:
You cannot flash factory image with TWRP. Download any custom ROM, flash it with TWRP. Let it boot and enable unlock in Developer Options.

Your guide is amazing and helped a lot.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
There is risk in involved in having an unlocked bootloader, but as long as you take care of your phone and don't let it fall into the wrong hands you'll be perfectly fine. To say it's dangerous would be a pretty big overstatement.

I heard that they can unlock iphone by using copy sim method. First, they copy information from AT&T sim to a new blank sim, then copy info from the sim which you want to use with iphone to that blank sim.

I think if it is possible, we can unlock all phone with this method.

Can we unlock sim of X01HT white edition by using this method?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ohwellhell_:
Hello, yesterday I got my new Redmi Note 3. After hour or so using it, installing apps, adjusting settings and such I locked it and a minute later it didn't turn on (last time I checked the battery was around 30%). I've tried a lot of things: connecting it to my PC, holding every combination of buttons (just power button, just volume down, just volume up, power+volume down, power+volume up, I haven't tried only the volume up+volume down combination). I've also left it charging over the night using my Galaxy s3 mini charger (I live in Europe so I can't charge it here with provided charger) and still nothing, literally no reaction. Then HonorBuy's suport sent me an email that says I have to remove the sticker from the battery, it wasn't until they realised that the battery is non-removable that I have to close the back cover. Then they told me that I try charging it on the computer for at least an hour. Will that help considering that I've already charged it normally the whole night? Or do you guys maybe have some other idea what might be the problem?

I forgot, that hour or so when the phone actually worked, worked perfectly.

Thank you.

This happened to me too. I think I factory wiped in twrp and went from cm13 to miui then it stopped charging.

No amount of flashing fixed it. Fast boot, EDL nothing worked and xiaomi won't help.

I came across only few people that had this but they seemed to suggest some partition being corrupted going from CM to miui. I couldn't find details about which partition though, not very substantial claims.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fcsprovenzano:
I read somewhere that it could be a bug of the version of a specific TWRP, but without sure.

In my case, I flashed Xiaomi.eu with success on CM, and after that restored again CM.

CM -> Xiaomi.eu -> CM

I sent it to a (unofficial) repair center and they just flashed the ROM on my phone. Probably using pin test or something similar.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Swizzy88:
I tried all of that. I had about 80% battery when I noticed it's not charging so I had plenty of battery to flash things. I tried anything and everything that was suggested to me in the xiaomi forums but nothing worked.

Did you send it to an official xiaomi service center?

No. I just sent it to a local generic phone service center. I imported mine from China without warranty.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohnonot:
Please read carefully! It took me an hour just to write this post, not counting days of troubleshooting.

The old situation:

I have a collection of video in different compressed formats on my home server, and i want to access them from my phone.

So far, i have been using sftp for this (several file managers support this, esp. ES File Manager), but either the sftp protocol or ES file manager aren't suitable for streaming, there's too much stuttering and freezing. This is not a bandwidth issue!

Partial solution & new problem:

I use a dedicated media server (ampache) on my home server, and a dedicated client (DSub) on my Acer E700 (aka E39), stock android, rooted, firewalled.

I noticed a problem with video that uses AC3 sound encoding - The video plays fine (even hi-res), i just don't hear any sound.

And it happens only when i stream the video through the network (http?) (*) - the file plays just fine when i copy it to the phone, or use sftp via ES file manager, or download the file through my media server.

I tried this with all media players i have:

stock android video player

ES media player

MX player (with or without custom codec neon.1.7.32.rev1.zip) - it says, when playing files through the media server, that HW+ or SW decoding is not supported, however when i play the same video locally there's no such limitation.

I also tried all video streaming settings inside DSub:

Raw

HTTP Live Stream (HLS) (this did not work at all)

Direct transcode (requires video -> mp4 or similar setup on server)

Flash plugin (did not work, i guess i don't have the flash plugin)

and the result is always the same: all video plays fine, but video with ac3 sound has no sound.

unfortunately most hdtv videos use h264/ac3...

here's a list of codec combinations and resolutions that don't play sound:

h264/ac3 1280x720

avi/ac3 704x396

avi/ac3 640x368

here's a list of codec combinations and resolutions that do play sound:

quicktime/mp4 848x448

quicktime/mp4 1280x720

quicktime/mp4 716x404

avi/mp3 640x360

I can only come to the conclusion that android treats different codecs differently when streamed through the network. How can I solve this?

(*) i also copied one of the affected files to the public html section and tried to open it through my phone's browser, and the result is the same: no sound with ac3.

i did notice that one of the "good" files opened right inside the browser, whereas the "bad" file asked to open with a media player.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohnonot:
i'm pretty sure this is about ac3 audio.

i just don't understand why it works flawlessly when i play the files straight from phone memory, but not over the network?
