Dear fellows:

Can anybody tell me how can I root my redmi 2 if there isn´t a guide for rooting Marshmallow version ?

I want flash Razor Kernel for my android CM13 (Marshmallow), but I must have my phone rooted for do that. How can I root my phone ? The rooting guide is just for KitKat and Lollipop versions.

The razor Kernel is a " .img" archive, it must be flashed by custom recovery or by ADB fastboot ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] anandmore:
CM13.0 has inbuilt system root.

Enable it from developers option.

Settings > About phone > Tap build no. 7 times

Developer options > Root access > Apps and adb.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leander00:
I have read that CM13.0 has root acces inbuilt, but there isn´t a root acces option in "Developer options" on my phone.

Anyway I have tried to instal Razor Kernel by ADB Fastboot because it´s a .img archive and it failed. So, is there any other way to active the root acces option ?

PD: My phone has 13.0-20160217 CM
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] anandmore:
That is not possible !!

Send a screenshot of developer option as it is of mine.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leander00:
Hey, problem solved. Hahaha. The question was that my ROM is in spanish and the "Root Acces" translation is "Acceso Administrativo" ans I was looking for "Acceso root" or something like that.

Thanks for help. So, must I flash the kernel by fastboot or by recovery ? The guide says that by Recovery, but I see that the kernel archive is .img
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] anandmore:
You can flash it by using twrp recovery.

Just choose to flash img.

Remember to select boot for kernel .img

I tried to flash twrp, But after rebooting, it gets stuck on MI logo. What should I do?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] htchd2sucks:
What type of reboot you're doing?

If you intend to reach TWRP menu, you need to specifically tell the phone to boot in recovery mode.

At that stage, in my experience, the only way which works is the physical combination:

When phone is off, press and hold: volume up/down and power buttons, until you see twrp menu.

There is a way in adb to reboot in recovery, for me it never worked at that initial stage (after that first boot, doing "adb reboot recovery" works).

Sorry to revive this topic but Can someone help me?

Redmi 2 Pro running android 5.1 MIUI 9

Tried that and all works until I have to update binary, that fails with normal update and TWRP did brick the device lol

Now I'm trying again with another Redmi exactly the same, and don't wanna brick it. How can I update binary? Or Would it be possible to root with magisk instead of supersu? Any guidance would be appreciated, thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traceestarr:
My phone is running the BOG5 5.0.1 software and it is a retail edition.

I recieved a notification on my device prompting me that a new update is available (finally! 5.1.1!) I tap "download now", the download eventually finishes and it proceeds to install.

My phone boots into recovery, "installing update" and very shortly after I see the droid triage error and below it says "error!" and then my phone reboots. When I unlock my phone it says, "Sorry, there was a problem updating your SAMSUNG SM-N910V. No changes were made."

I looked under software update in settings and it says "software not updated to N910VVRU2BOK3" and the error code is 410.

I also notice that when I go into recovery it says "dm-verity verification failed...."

I looked in Kies to see if the update was available there, and of course it wasn't. And I can't find the ROM anywhere as of yet to flash with ODIN.:(

I would appreciate all of the help I can get.

Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
I'm having the exact same issue and symptoms, have you made any progress with this? If I find a solution I'll share here too. I've tried Kies and VZW Software Upgrade Assistant, neither finds the update, but I can get it on my retail VZ Note 4, just won't successfully install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traceestarr:
Thank you for your feedback. I wonder if it has to do with a corrupt software build on our devices. I ordered my phone in November of last year and it came with BOG5 on it. I'm going to see about flashing stock BOG5 completely fresh on the phone and see if that corrects the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
Sounds like something worth trying, I'll watch for an update on how it goes for you. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traceestarr:
I have found a solution (albeit requires a full wipe, which is worth having 5.1.1 for me)

Firstly, I attempted flashing the "stock restore" file in odin and resulted in an error, I then tried the full firmware instead (mind you for BOG5, if you're having problems on your current version I'd suggest using your current build) with success, proceed with a data wipe in recovery and noticed that the "dm-verity verification failed...." message is now gone and now that bottom area of the screen has information about applying Multi-CSC.

Restart the phone, set up as normal and go straight for the software update. My phone downloaded and installed the update perfectly! For safety just boot into recovery and do a full wipe again, and there you have it!

The stock firmwares for RETAIL SM-N910V are here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
Thank you for reporting back with what worked for you. I've tried following the same steps you took, but after flashing the full BOG5 firmware and doing a data wipe and then doing basic setup on my phone, the OTA is still failing, Error Code: 404. I'll try again, but so far no success. Still stuck on the buggy 5.0.1, the version where you can't flash back to 4.4.4....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traceestarr:
I am sorry to hear that this didn't work for you. But it appears we're both getting different error codes. Does your recovery display issues with dm-verity failing? I think this was part of my problem in the first place.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
You're right, I thought I had seen that message earlier in the week while trying to get the OTA for 5.1.1 to work, but I didn't write it down. Your description of symptoms matched mine so well I figured it had to be the same issue or something so similar that running through the same process would work for me too.

I may take the phone into Verizon to show them the update fail and see if they are willing to do anything for me....

Glad you got yours up and running, but I am just a little bit jealous :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
I've found that most times the OTA update fails prior to rebooting to install the update and I get the 404 error I reported earlier. However, when it does make it to the point of doing the OTA update after reboot, after that fails, I get the same 410 error you reported, see attached, and I also the dm-verity fail message in recovery. Then after using Odin to install BOG5, the verity fail disappears, replaced by a Multi-CSC message, I do a complete data wipe/factory reset, set up my basic google account and try the OTA, which fails every time. But once the dm-verity fail is gone, I can try doing an update from external storage, which I've tried with the BOK3 5.1.1 zip file posted here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/android-5-1-1-according-to-website-t3290683/page20 However, this still fails to load.

At this point I'm pretty convinced that I some other issue with my phone. I found elsewhere that someone was able to take their phone into Best Buy and have them flash the 5.1.1 update for them via Kies. That is probably my next step.

But I wanted to share what I've tried in case anyone else is experiencing the same dead end or in the off chance that someone has found a solution.

Sure would love to see the full 5.1.1 BOK3 tar.md5 sometime before Marshmallow hits, pretty sure using Odin to install the update that way would work....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keiller:
The full OTA for 5.1.1 was posted and I was able to update using Odin, following the instructions on this post: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224

Just wanted to update this post with the solution which finally worked for me.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
Sometimes in low indoor lighting I noticed some dark blobs that appear on the camera. They look like rather large particles scattered throughout the frame. I was suspecting maybe dust in the lens but I've seen a similar thing with my friend's Nexus 4 when is directly cast in sunlight - similar to when you look under a microscope and your hair eyelashes are in the way. Another thing I suspect it could be is some interference from the shiny black plastic ring within the camera lens (not the silver ring outside), as it appears to be made of a rough plastic-like material.

Sample (there are many more depending what angle the light is shining): https://www.dropbox.com/s/zm8h9jp3jhdy726/DSC_0476.JPG?dl=0

Has anyone experienced this as well?

Note that the lens/camera module that was replaced by Sony in Taiwan due to the left blur problem. They assured me that the phone was still waterproof. Unfortunately I am no longer in Taiwan so I can't get it repaired. In most situations the blobs are not visible but I do notice them when I'm filming in my room and the camera appears to be trying to pick up more light.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
hmm, now that i look at my lens, i it appears there is a spot on the actual camera lens behind the main lens cover. Either dust got in during the lens replacement process, or it somehow got in later. So much for IP68 =/
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambo16:
Can you send it back and get a new device?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FYLin21:
Nope, I bought it in Taiwan, and am studying overseas now. Perhaps next time I go to Taiwan I will turn it in. It's not a huge problem as none of my outdoor photos seem to have this problem - I only noticed it in videos I filmed in my room indoors with a certain lighting or flare (if you cover the light a bit it's gone, like you have a lens hood). It's not as obvious as previous reports of dust in the Xperia Z lens etc.

I looked into it with a magnifying glass and it does seem like there is at least one speck behind the lens cover.

Maybe there was some dust or paper in my pocket that somehow got in, but I had the phone in a case, and there's a rear protector film I applied that goes around the lens

This method seems to work for the F variant.....not sure about the F(d) variant though (I assume the difference is dual sim?).........

If your device is running the quad core qualcom snapdragon setup, you should be ok......

1) deactivate 'Reactivation Lock'.

2) copy SuperSU zip to your device.

3) boot into download mode.

4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).

5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed if necessary) then.....

6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)

7) flash SuperSU zip.

8) boot device as normal.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcrompton:
the xml file is a ROM file so if you are trying to overwrite the original file you have to use something like Resco Explorer or it won;t overwite the ROM just using the native file explorer - try that.

My weather is wrong but I'm sure I know why. I'm in Springfield Missouri and its pulling data for Springfield Illinois. Its strange that it isn't able to pull up a bigger city list that includes states. Weather Panel is an old and now free app that has no trouble finding my little cr@p town.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Russ741:
That's because WeatherPanel is an 'active' application, meaning you put in a Zip code and it goes and finds the data. The HTCWeather is not active meaning it only knows about the cities in the .XML file loaded to your device. Over on the Wizard forum there are several discussions on the subject. My Wizard for example only has the cities I care about the entire file is only 5K, vs the stock 300K one.

Hope that helps..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jason Lee:
Wow small world. I too and in Springfield MO. :)

The weather is actually very easy to fix, all you need is a registry editor.

First choose "Springfield, US" from the city list. Now open up \\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

Change the value of "LocationCode". It will be NAM|US|IL|SPRINGFIELD.

Change it to NAM|US|MO|SPRINGFIELD. That simple. Change IL to MO and redownload your weather data. :D

I also changed the "Location" value from "Springfield, US" to Springfield, MO just because i liked it better. hehe.

I have been trying to find a way to keep root and Android pay. Some apps, while they are granted root privileges, break android pay.

I don't have a large list. But as of now, the apps cause my device to fail the SafetyNet check are:

Titanium Backup

Root explorer

Ex kernel manager

It seems that it only breaks pay when these apps are actively using root. "Killing" the apps send to make my device pass the check.

As people comment I'll update the list.
