[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keira2142:
Rule one to flashing: never flash without a backup. It sounds like something went wrong but if you can actually get into TWRP you should be able to flash either an older backup (easiest) or wipe and reinstall your current ROM. If youre wanting to go to marshmallow anyway (And as someone that has used their G3 from Jellybean all the way through to marshmallow, I cant recommend it enough), see here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/stock-d855-30b-images-kdz-flashables-t3282012

Autoprime was nice enough to pack it into 3 seperate flashable zips. Follow those instructions TO THE LETTER.

IF you can't get into TWRP for whatever reason google "D855 6.0 marshmallow official update" and find something that shows you how to do it with the official flash tool supplied by LG. Can't link it cos im not sure if im allowed to link to outside websites here.

I found a modified version of whatsapp that does everything I want without root or xposed. It's called WhatsApp+ JiMODS. It's very feature laden and is much easier to use than even some xposed WhatsApp mods. Problem is....should i trust it. The reason why I ask if because there was an update available and the pop-up was in Arabic. Should this alarm me?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gathem:
Hi!

I had 2 nexus 5x phones. One rooting went fine, the other is stuck at the Welcome to Android cycle.

I unlocked the bootloader, and I used chainfire auto-root script from linux.

When the phone boots up it has the blue welcome screen. I setup wifi and then it forces me to install an android update. It downloads the update, reboots, tries to install it, fails, and then boots into android where it tries to force me into the update.

How can get out of the loop?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draggehn:
Just flash your favorite custom ROM from recovery (or stock if that pleases you) and ignore OTAs.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
not everyone is after custom roms, some people are more than happy with their (rooted) stock experience.

OP, the way googles OTAs work these days, is that they basically check your system partitions for any modification (e.g. root). if that check fails, so does the update. now what can you do about your little update trap?

if i recall correctly, chainfire includes ways to revert to unrooted. so there is you first possible option. use it, fire up your phone, let it take the OTA (make sure you're on the latest version after that) and attempt to root again.

if that is not an option, you could grab the newest factory image directly from google, flash the whole thing and then root again.

once your phone is up and running (and rooted ofc), it won't be able to apply future OTAs, but instead of forcing you to update, it will only show a notification.

[Xposed General] FederOnline:
I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

I have several kiosk tablets that use Xposed to take away some features. One thing we discovered is, if you reboot the device, and continue to click the power button during the boot process, Xposed comes up as though the installation process has not completed. Going into Xposed/Framework and clicking Install/Update fixes the issue. The tablet is clearly not in Safe Mode, but Xposed is disabled.

Has anyone seen a similar issue and is there a way to stop this behavior?
[Xposed General] corncobman:
This is intended behaviour in case there is a problem with Xposed or a module.
[Xposed General] FederOnline:
My modules are incredibly basic and gone through several levels of QA testing, so I am not concerned about one having an issue in the field. Is there a way to programmatically restart Xposed if I discover this situation?

Thanks again...

I am looking to update to lollipop but I can not use the built in updater because im on cricket and not ATT.

Can anyone help me with a guide or a safe way I can get the update? Please and thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Is your phone the SGH-i537 (AT&T USA version) or the GT-i9295 (international version)? If it's the former I can most likely give you the file you need, but I'd need to know what firmware version you're currently on: settings > about device > baseband version. If it's the latter I can still probably point you in the right direction.

Oh, also, if you do have the i537 let me know if you're rooted or not currently and if you wish to be rooted once on lollipop
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trem Fantasma:

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
If you just want to update and don't want root (and aren't already rooted), download this file and save to your external SD card (not internal storage):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347793671

Power your phone off. Boot into stock recovery (hold vol+ and power), choose install update from external storage, and navigate to where you saved that file and select it. It will probably take up to five minutes to install, so make sure you have plenty of battery (50%+)

When that is finished, repeat the exact same process with the following file (it's the version of lollipop with the stagefright patch, i.e. an important security fix), but has to be installed after the preceding file:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347793660

If you're already rooted, the above process will not work. Even if you're not already rooted, but think you might want to be once on lollipop, there is no way to root lollipop directly, so a different update method is required. If you're at all thinking about messing around with root, and especially if you are already rooted, you need to use the following method to update:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] serhangelgor:
Can you add flashable zip please? thank you.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] BORETS24:
Why?

Method 2(through CWM/TWRP, without PC)

1. Download bootXX.XX.img

2. Go to recovery mode

3. Click Install, choose this bootXX.XX.img, choose boot partition

4. Then reboot

Or you can flash without PC and without custom revovery

Method 3(through Terminal Emulator, without PC)(root required)

1. Download bootXX.XX.img and put it in root of internal memory

2. in command prompt write

su
dd if=/sdcard/bootXX.XX.img of=/dev/block/by-name/boot
reboot

And device started with custom boot.img

BORETS24, can you add F2FS support? I feel the IO more smooth with it (in other phones there is a huge difference between ext4 and f2fs, like Moto G), but requires changes in kernel config file (easy) and a modified ramdisk with edited fstab (more complicated). There is an Project T version that includes a fstab with the needes changes [link=http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/project-t-custom-kernel-zenfone-2-t3150822/post64366155]here[/link] (but only boot with all /system /data / cache formatted in F2FS).

Prepare your SD card with the OEM ROM per this method and this should (hopefully) unbrick your device. Please report back so I can also know if it works in this situation. Thanks!

From the WIKI: StarTrek SD Card flashing

It is necessary to format your microsd card to FAT32 filesystem!

# Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it in fat32 from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).

# Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / ~MacOS use [cabextract | http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php].

# Rename the .NBH file to *STARIMG.nbh* and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.

# With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and Camera button at the same time).

# You should see the screen with SD Card searching, then confirm flashing on screen by pressing Softkey.

# Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 25 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.

~SuperCID devices are able to flash any official NBH image using this method.
[HTC Startrek] sledwrecker:
I've tried this several times with the english nk.nbh from HTC's american rom and the CWS rom as well.

1. Extract RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe

2. rename .nbh file to STARIMG.nbh

3. format "my" 1 gig micro SD card FAT32

4. copy STARIMG.nbh to MicroSD card

5. Insert MicroSD card into STarTrek

6. Power on in bootloader mode holding camera and voice record then pressing power.

7. White screen with blue text "searching for SD card"

8. Tri-Color Boot loader....

Never finds / Sees the SD card

PC sees MicroSD card just fine.

Also, as mentioned above I can't get the phone to connect via USB and bootloader either.

Here is what I KNOW I did "wrong" possibly....

1. I was in MTTY trying to upload a WM6 os.bin to the startack.

2. Ran set 32

3. It found device "ok"

4. lnbs os.bin

5. it did a format and copy

6. restarted phone

7. Nothing.......

8. Hard reset ........

9. Nothing

10. camera, voice record, power = bootloader... Works..

This is where I am at. Like I said I jsut want to get a WM6 rom working if the phone is done the oh well. I am here to help.

Try this

If you want to connect in bootloader and you see the usb connection try the following:

In Activesync, unckeck the Alloy USB connections box.

Remove the device entry from control pannel under mobile devices

plug in the device to USB

Run the enableRAPI program to try to re-establish communications

Here is also a rapidshare link to the latest OFFICIAL WWE ROM for WM5 QTEK 8500. Try it as RUU after the above, if that does not work, extract the contents and try the SD flash again. My gut says if you can get to bootloader, you haven't bricked it yet.

*Remove the device entry from control pannel under mobile devices

Well I went through device manager and can't find any reference to mobile device or startrek. still can't get the phone to connect.

SD card flashing still did not work even using the .nbh from the rapidshare link above.

When the phone first goes into bootloader it says searching for SD for about 1 second then goes to tri color screen. it's as if it doesn't see the SD card at all.

When in bootloader if I plug in the usb cable I get the little USB down in the bottom but I can't get the enable rapi to work. It just hangs or sits at a cmd propmpt
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
Sounds like we need to get the SD flashing to recognize your card,

Let me walk through the process with my working QTEK and the same ROM I posted to Rapidshare, then we can compare notes again.

EDIT: By the way, My IPL/SPL show 3.06.0000 and the USB connection does link when attached to my PC (Vista).
[HTC Startrek] raskell:
SD Flashes OK

Well, I found only a few contentious points with the SD flashing guide:

1) VERY CLEARLY states you must format for FAT32

I had to buy a new microSD for this test. It came standard in FAT16 not FAT32. Took quite some time to format it.

2) Extracted the .nbh file using WinRAR version 3.7

3) Rename the file STARIMG.nbh in CAPS as shown. This was the only file on the card and was in the root directory

4) when installing the microSD, it was necessary to put my SIM card in to keep the SD located properly.

The rest went as expected without fault.
[HTC Startrek] sledwrecker:
Dude you are my personal hero.

I got it unbricked or fixed using your method.

Here is what I did EXACTLY so maybe this will help someone else.

1. Take 1 gig Kingston MicroSD card

2. Put it in SD sleave and Plug into Computers SD card reader

3. Open Disk Management by right click on my computer then "manage"

4. Selected Removable Disk

5. Format as FAT32, Cluster size = 512 and NO QUICK FORMAT and NO Volume Name

6. Extract ship.......*.nbh from official rom RUU installer.

7. Rename Ship......*.nbh to STARIMG.nbh

8. Copy to SD card

9. Place MicroSD card in phone

10. Insert SIM

11. Insert Battery Pack

12. Holding camera and voice buttons press and release power on

13. Phone searched for SD card

14. Success Phone found SD card press middle side button to start download from SD.

15. Took less than 10 minutes to complete recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw some other threads around with people stuck like I was earlier. Try this it worked for me!

Haven't given up yet.. quickk update.

I've been able to succesfuly extract the WM5 ROM completely.

I've been unable yet to extract a complete nk.nbf from Tornado.

After close comparison looks like tornado is closest to Startrek. It has the same OMAP 850 Proc and architecture was going to port typhoon since it's the 730 and the 850 is basicly the same but faster.

I have got an os.bin tornado WM6, not sure what to do at this point.

From what I found if I use the XIP from the WM5 rom then the main drivers, keypad, etc.. should work. in theory..

Can I mesh the os.bin into an .nb file ?

I was consifering pdocwrite.exe to upload it but I need to know how to caluclate the header size. Unsure here.

Can I take the os.bin, convert it to .nb and then mesh it in with a WM5 nk.nbh?
