[General Questions and Answers] Nikanore:
I really need help with my device, I searched all over XDA and no-one seems to have the same issue as me.

Here is some information:

1) Nexus 6P (H1511)

2) 6.0.1 Absolute stock, no rom, no root, no custom recovery. Build number MMB29P.

Recently got a new Nexus 6P and imported to Russia. All of the major bands here are supported. And the phone worked excellent for a few weeks, but then it lost all 3G or GSM connectivity. Just randomly,didn't do anything with it, the only thing I did is move to another city but than I got back, the issue didn't resolve. LTE works perfectly but can't call or receive calls, can receive sms though. Reseting network settings and factory reset changed nothing. Tried manualy set network to WCDMA or GSM with *#*#4636#*#* command, the moment I switch to anything besides LTE the connection is lost. Contacted the provider, no problem on their side, my SIM works good in other phones, my phone with other SIMs - no.

I don't think it is a hardware issue because a few times I managed to get everything working after an hour of switching networks and bands with no particular order in the *#*#4636#*#* testing mode.

After a while I figured that if I set phone to "GSM only" on USA bands in testing mode, but at the same time set it to "LTE prefered" in the normal network settings menu. I am able to set phone to Band mode 7 and set the network back to 2G in network settings keeping it on " GSM only" the whole time and only after this compicated algorithm and after a reboot 2G and 3G starts working. But any reboot after that revertes everything back to only LTE stage. Also if I get everything working but than reset network settings everything stops working again.

I have no idea what caused such an issue, I really hope someone can help.

Sorry couldn't post screenshots because of the "10 posts rule".

Hi guys.....

I am nisarg shah. I just moved from moto e to lg g3 d851.

I have a question. Why we want only android based costom rom? I know its a android phone with optimus UI. But when itcomes to custom Rom, Why everyone wants cm based ROM?

Other OS still exist. There should be some group working on os like sailfish , ubuntu touch, web os, color os. Even device like moto g 1st gen is supported for sailfish OS. Your answeres will be appreciate.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithhy™:
Because Android is the most popular mobile OS, so there's no place for others systems

[emoji4]
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nisu4717:
Android consumes highest power. And thats the main disadvantage of using android. While on other hand, sailfish is great at this. Along with this, it can run apks too. So sailfish would be a great choise if you consider it.

Hi I'm on the giffgaff network and was wondering if or when the latest software update was or if it has been released ota, the firmware version 23.4.A.1.264
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Use xperiafirm downloader in flashtool to check for the latest version
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
So it's not an ota update?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
where did you get the phone from?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
Swapped it for a Samsung galaxy s5,did softbrick it so took it to a shop and they've put foreign firmware on it as it shows lte instead of 4g,when I first had the phone it displayed 4g so maybe it's the software version the shop put onto the phone or wouldn't that make a difference
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
This is the software information on my device
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
Any idea?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomfan:
Anybody know?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black_Eyes:
Current latest firmware version is 23.4.A.1.264 , You should upgrade it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nuke39:
I've read that the verizon note 5 doesn't use the same LTE band as att

Can you verify that data speeds are full LTE speeds.

I'm wanting to switch to att for the unlimited data plan they are now offering but I can't justify new phones when I already have relatively new ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jacky37:
Verizon note 5 had lte band 2,4 which AT&T uses. AT&T uses band 17 too which is the main band so when I'm out of that band it will connect to band 2 or 4 and if not I'll just get hspa speed
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zangent:
After unlocking and rooting my stock system, it still worked fine, but I wanted more features so I went to a custom rom.

Neither CM12.1 or RR had mobile data for Verizon.

When I flashed by TWRP backup of /system, I had data again.

According to 6Binford, my APN settings are correct.

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] windoge89:
If you upgraded from something other than the most recent -44 build, I think you need to update the radio. You can find that in the official CM thread for the Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zangent:
I've tried flashing radio files but still no data.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zangent:
I've also noticed this notification every now and then, even though I am in an area where data works perfectly fine on stock ROM, and even though before this pops up I still had no data:

Data roaming

----------------------

You've lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] clavin78:
Hi, I was running a MM rom for awhile and want to go back to 4.25.654.18 but I'm having issues. Flashing a stock rooted rom, the progress on the flash is really quick like it wasnt successful but it say it was and then wont boot. Is there something special needed for downgrading?

Edit: so I did an rug and system kept ferrying, some parts failed. Did boot though but with constant play services crashing. Had to disable. Tried sense 7 mm Rom, so t boot. Tried stock rooted Rom, won't boot. Is something wrong with the system partition somehow?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
Make a backup of your user apps ( titanium backup is fine), wipe system, boot, data and then install any rom.

If you still have problems, flash a RUU from fastboot(it will wipe entire memory)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] clavin78:
RUU via zip wasnt restoring properly, though it could boot. Kept getting crashing on google apps and store and file managers couldnt find the internal storage. I ended up getting it back to GPE rom after awhile. I can't flash anything else and get it working. Not sure why.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
What you mean RUU wasn't restoring properly? Did it give any errors?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks-man:
I recently rooted my Fire TV 2 and wanted to have it launch straight to Kodi like my original Fire TV does (using either Elmerhueso version or SPMC). Just found out that Xposed isn't yet available for Fire TV 2 since there is no custom recovery yet.

Does that mean this feature isn't yet available? I know about Firestarter but would prefer to go straight to Kodi rather than having a bunch of apps on the screen first. Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
It maybe an option once Rbox gives us the recovery/custom rom which shouldnt be too far away now? But at the moment NO we cant.... But there is an option in Firestarter that once launched it will boot to any app you choose, so say you choose Kodi then once your Fire Tv device boots up after a little while (about roughly 5-10seconds) it will start to boot Kodi. For now this should surfice for what you what until the new stuff starts getting created after custom rom & recovery is released.

Hope this helps mate
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks-man:
Thanks for the idea. Is it worthwhile then for me to do anything else with my newfound root? The main thing I like the Fire TV for is to use Kodi so I'm guessing until we get Rbox's method there isn't anything else worthwile for me to do. I did disable updates.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
If you have a wired console or pc controller around the house you could install an emulator or 2 & play some old console games? Look in the Q&A section of this Fire TV thread & your see my compatible sideloaded apps & accessories thread if you need it & it will save you some time trying out different apps or accessories to see if they work or not?

Have fun & press that thanks button If this helped you
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejdam:
uses titaium backup and freeze kftv launcher, after that you can switch the launcher.

obviously make sure you have another launcher already installed before you freeze kftv
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Wow I wouldn't wanna be the guinea pig doing that for the first time! Does this really work for the AFTV2?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
I cant remember if the official Kodi apk has the launcher intent or not to allow it to be set as default, I know SPMC does though but thats a little outdated I think as most of the Android specific changes were merged into the main Kodi branch.

I only quickly had a play the other week as its boxed back up till rbox's custom ROM and recovery.

I think I had to freeze the Kindle Launcher and use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.blunden.xbmclauncher&hl=en to launch Kodi as default.

Be warned though, freezing KL will also stop a lot of other things working like the FTV settings page etc and you'll need to unfreeze to access them.

Better off waiting for Xposed and hopefully rbox kindly ports his modules to allow alternative launchers without freezing.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks-man:
This is what I use on my 1st gen Fire TV to get launcher capabilities. I'm still on an old version (13.2 I think) but it appears he has updated it to 15.2

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp201:
I have used an app called autologin. works on rooted and non rooted devices. allows you to launch multiple apps with begining delay and delay between apps. easy to configure. I set it on firetvstick with 12 sec delay after statrup (firestarter) then 5 sec between apps (kodi)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
Yeah this was the mod I was talking about (launcher intent). This is what the Xposed module will allow but without using a modded apk.

Nothing wrong with using elmerohueso builds but be aware you wont be able to use Firestarter to update Kodi as the modded apk has been signed differently. To update you'll have to use adb to sideload the new apk everytime theres an update.

Theres several ways to achieve Kodi as a launcher but like most things on the AFTV, for every upside theres also several downsides...

Not heard of that one but Ill take a looksy, especially if it works on unrooted!

Built-in root (activate in advanced settings)

Quick unlock

All cm13 nightlies features (including the experimental multi-window feature under advanced settings)

Welcome back bro..i will certainly test the rom but just wanted to know whether this ROM has random reboot issue..
[ONE Android Development] debnath:
Multirom support?
[ONE Android Development] Karel VH:
It's on my to-do list I'll try to patch it for next release, which should be soon.
[ONE Android Development] Karel VH:
I haven't experienced any random reboots at all during testing, except when I was trying how low I could push my undervolt (which is normal, because not every chip will run at the same voltage as others). If you experience any, please let me know and provide details. I'll then look further into it.

My excuses for the inconvenience.
[ONE Android Development] debnath:
Yeah it failed. I would still like to try this partly because of the name [emoji6]
[ONE Android Development] Karel VH:
Do you mean the OTA or multirom because the kexec hardboot patch has been applied and you should be able to use multirom now.

[MENTION=5551103]Karel VH[/MENTION] thx for your hard work! One question: in OP you say that your kernel is based on the kernel by Sultanxda. If I understand you correctly, you made him some change? Or is the original kernel by Sultanxda?

UPD: There is one suggestion - why do not you add in your ROM Snapdragon Camera?
[ONE Android Development] Karel VH:
I modified it and snapdragon camera is included in the ROM. (it's just called camera, but it's the default one)
[ONE Android Development] blinoff82:
You rock mate! :victory:

[ONE Android Development] pa1281:
[MENTION=2502943]karelvh[/MENTION] looks promising and pretty stable. Could you please a switch for toast icon.?
[ONE Android Development] Jazz365:

[ONE Android Development] Miksel12:
Nice! Another rom, i will try this out asap!

Does this rom have f2fs because Sultans cm13 doesnt have it :(

And you could change userdebug to user, jgcaap did that with some tweaks so you could have root. It should give the rom a nice performance boost.
[ONE Android Development] debnath:
After 2 mins, I see this error - error updating update rom in zip /tmp/mr_update.zip

(or something like that)

any update soon?

love this ROM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasuj:
hello,

sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question, and please redirect me, this is a fairly huge site.

I know this question has been asked many times, but I didn't see a clear answer to it from security experts, or it is from several years ago and things might have changed.

My question is double:

first of all, nowadays, how does the process of rooting an android phone work (please detail if there are various alternatives) ? Does it rely on a security hole, or is it a kind of attack (such as physical access to the device) that is not part of the security perimeter of android ? In the first case, why is it that it's not fixed, as there are open bounties for the android system ? Note that I'm just talking about the android system itself (such as a Nexus Phone), with the latest patches.

Second related question: What would be the security risk of rooting an android phone ? If I am not mistaken, these could be grouped in at least two issues: the rooting process itself, and the aftermath.

a. Regarding the rooting process, is there any open source procedure (or at least closely reviewed) to root a nexus phone that could guarantee that there's no malware installed in the process ? (see also first question)

b. From what I understand, having a rooted android is no different than having a linux OS with a root account. Are there any (free, open source?) apps that can monitor (what commands have been launched, etc) and prevent apps from getting access to the root account without my agreement ? (so that it is linux OS where any account that requires root privileges must go through 'sudo' and ask the user to enter their password).

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] GerasxD:
Hey guys,

Dont like boot animation on your Xperia M4 Aqua?

Here is a way to change it:

1)Download Boot animation changer app from playstore. Thanks to JRummy for his awesome app

2)Choose your desirable boot animation tap it and press install

3)Done, you have changed your boot animation.

NOTE:

For best quality choose boot animations that have 1280x720 resolution and at least 20fps

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask.

Working and tested by me on my E-2303 stock rom.

YOUR DEVICE MUST BE PROPERLY ROOTED FOR THE MOD TO WORK

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Xpzr:
How din you root your Phone,i've got mine a few days ago and i can't find a way to root it.

Then go to system,media and place it there and boom you have fixed this "problem"

Very very good review I cant wait till mine comes in the mail now lol. I was very happy to see you using the slingplayer as I have a slingbox that is just sitting unopened on my dresser atm waiting to be used. Question tho does the sling player come installed on the kaiser or will i need to use my code for a free one when i set up my slingbox?

other then that seeing sky work is great as i use it on my pc to call canada alot it will be nice to have be tied to it anymore.

overall this review would be a 10/10 great job and you got me stoked about getting mine lol.
