[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
It shouldn't make a difference what rom you flash now so long as you wipe and format everything inside TWRP. But you must make sure you have bootloader 4.05. 4.02 will not allow you to flash LL or MM successfully, and the system does not upgrade on its own no matter what rom you're flashing now.

Since you said you couldn't get TWRP to copy anything, I suggested that you use a thumb drive. Basically, if you turn the tab totally off, hold power + volume down for a few seconds, it should take you to the fastboot page (pic). Look to see what bootloader version you have there.

From here, you can basically flash anything. I recommended that you wipe and format first with TWRP because it happened to me a few times when for some reason, wiping alone still left some residual data that interfered with flashing newer roms.

Stay away from anything stock for the moment. God knows it has bricked more than a few devices. Download SkipsoftToolKit and flash from the fastboot page if you want an automated process. It has worked wonderfully in my experience. Ask if you have more questions. Have fun.

Fastboot page
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kevs888:
This is really helpful...I think I'm almost there.

I'm on a super old Bootloader (see attachment) so I'll need to update. I downloaded the update from this XDA Thread

More questions:

- Would I be able to push the 4.05 bootloader update and custom whatever Marshmallow ROM via the toolkit instead of from a USB OTG?

- If I was rooted on 4.3, am I still rooted so that I would be able to flash the custom ROM? I don't want to risk doing further damage, lol.

- I'm not home at the moment, so I can't test this out -- I'm thinking I couldn't put anything into my tablet last night because it was running TWRP and I didn't have it on the Fastboot screen. Would being in the Fastboot screen possibly allow me to copy/paste the zip files into my tablet?

- If there's nothing I need to copy from the tablet, would I still need the USB OTG? Or could I just use the Toolkit to push everything into my tablet and flash via TWRP?

Based on your answers to the above would this be the correct order:

1. Push 4.05 bootloader update and custom ROM via toolkit to my tablet

2. Flash 4.05 bootloader update within TWRP

3. *Per your earlier advice* Wipe everything except USB OTG twice. Is this cache, dalvik, system, and data? Or literally there's an option for "wipe everything" (I don't remember what I saw)?

4. Then go to Format and do it twice, too. I have a 32GB, so I'm expecting it to take awhile for the format

5. Flash ROM, then Gapps. I don't have any apps I need to put back so much as I need an OS to load, so I can add later.

Thanks again for everything! :)

EDIT:

Okay, so I came home and was able to use the Toolkit to recognize the device in fastboot mode. However, I wasn't able to push anything into the phone because the Toolkit said that I needed to be booted into Android.

The last thing I saw when I was in TWRP poking around was that I saw that I could install .zip files from USB OTG. Are either of these alright for me to connect my flash drive to and be recognized inside TWRP?

Example 1

Example 2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
If you're comfortable using the ToolKit, you don't need an OTG cable. Connect your tab to PC, fire up ToolKit, complete all the prelim BS, then flash the bootloader from TK. Do not use TWRP for this. To do this, open the ToolKit folder in drive C:, locate the folder therein for zips, place the zip files (4.05 bootloader; TWRP; or custom roms) in there, and start to install. I am talking off the top of my head. But give me a few minutes to check the Kit again, and I'll give specific instructions. Bear with me, as I'm on Linux at the moment and therefore cannot start ToolKit (which is in Windows).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
Things to do in order:

1. Download bootloader 4.05 (flashable zip HERE); and custom rom of your choice (zip format)

2. Locate the Unified Android ToolKit on drive C: on your PC and open it;

3. Locate the folder “put zip file to sideload here” → “Nexus 7 2013” then paste

bootloader zip and Rom zip in there;

4. Fire up Toolkit with tab connected; complete all the prelim questions;

5. Follow all the steps to install TWR 2870 (pic 8, choice 6);

6. Go to TWRP, wipe and format.

7. Go back to TWRP main page → “Advanced” → “ADB sideload”;

8 Go to ToolKit (pic 8) enter choice 16 (Look at the pics that follow for the correct choices) to

sideload Bootloader;

9. Flash Bootloader.

10. Go back to TWRP main page → Reboot → Bootloader. Once there check bootloader version 4.05;

11. Get into TWRP to sideload Rom; flash it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kevs888:
Wow, this is awesome. Thank you so much.

I had already flashed TWRP 2870 before I wiped the OS, but I figured I'd try again using the Toolkit, but I got an error. I stopped here just in case.

Earlier, I tried flashing the zip for the bootloader the same way you just instructed, but my serial number turned into question marks?

Please see attachments. My pics are on the right side of the comparisons and I blacked out some of my serial number just in case for the TWRP pic.

Thanks again for the continued support!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
Ok. One step at a time. Since you don't have an OS installed, ToolKit cannot complete the process of sideloading because it normally would have to use ADB from within the OS (which is absent) to restart the tab into recovery mode (TWRP). But if you're already in sideload mode within TWRP, it would detect it and transfer the file over to your tab. Let's go back.

(1) Fire up ToolKit (TK), go to sideload step, type the file name and stop. Get to fastboot page on your tab. Go back to TK and hit enter. TK should detect fastboot mode, download TWRP 2.7.1.1, take the tab into TWRP, tell you to go to sideload mode. Thereafter, it should detect this mode and transfer the file over. Then TWRP would flash the bootloader 4.05 automatically. If successful, sideload the rom the same way to flash it. Then upgrade TWRP back to 2870 with TK.

(2) Failing the above (because TWRP somehow doesn't function correctly), put the tab in fastboot mode, go to TK and follow the steps to flash TWRP anew. TK should detect fastboot and begin to flash the recovery. That done, go back and restart (1) above.

(3) If that still doesn't work, we have to resort to fastboot.exe and do it by command lines. But that's far ahead. Try the above first. We'll cross that bridge if we get to it.

I can send you an automated package that would upgrade the bootloader to 4.04 that I downloaded a year ago from Scott's Roms (thanks to him). It's good enough for Lollipop 5.1. The file is about 4MB and I'm not sure how we can do this through XDA. But if we ever get there, I'm certain we'll find a way. And smile, it's only a lousy tab.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kevs888:
Let me just say, I'm so thankful for your help in all of this. Seriously. Thank you.

I kept on tinkering with the ToolKit and Fastboot kept on stopping everytime I switched to TWRP. I got to the point where TWRP showed 2.7.1 but the ADB Sideload kept getting stuck at the "Starting Sideload" prompt.

I went out and bought a $3 OTB USG cable and figured I'd give it a go since this sounded easier (theoretically). At first, I couldn't understand why the OTG wasn't recognized within TWRP. Then, I realized I needed to mount it within TWRP.

Once it mounted, I wiped and flashed the 4.05 bootloader zip. Success.

I went back into the Fastboot screen to verify 4.05. Success.

Went back into TWRP 2.8.7 and flashed a 6.0 ROM from these boards. Success.

Flashed Gapps. Success.

Rebooted. I'm now running a custom Marshmallow ROM and it runs so smoothly now.

Seriously. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
I'm glad you got it working again. Sorry you had to make a trip to the store. You should've waited for KT to switch the tab to TWRP 2711 for you. But it was not a waste of time anyway.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbmc83:
i can tell you why: throttling!

with mp12 gpus ull get great scores for benchmarks but once u stress the system for more than one benchmark run (say, when gaming! :p), throttling kicks in and u lose a great chunk of that wonderful performance. the kirin 950 doesnt have that problem, it stays right at its max. performance no matter how long u stress it :) and yes, due to the fullHD screen and absense of throttling its more than enough for all current games. i dont game much tbh, but i havent seen any lagging yet either...

Please be kind, I'm really new to all this stuff.

Could someone explain to me exactly what CID unlocking is and maybe even why phones are (CID) locked in the first place.

This is mostly for my curiosity than anything else.

Welcome to the forum!

First thing you must do is read the WiKi!

It should answer all of your questions and if not, then come back and ask - but be sure to search the forum first!

Like this.

Unlocking CID allows you to install different ROMs on your device, such as cooked ROMs or ROMs for different brand.

Example:

i-mate Jamin and Qtek S200 are the same device, but you can not install Qtek ROM on i-mate phone unless you CID unlock.

I have an unrooted, stock Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) on 4.4.2 and would like to upgrade to AryaMod v8.1.

AP: N9005XXUGNK1

CP: N9005XXUGNK1

CSC: N9005VAUGNK1

What would be the best way to upgrade the ROM. I had a look and CF-Auto Root (which I believe I need for installing the recovery) only works on Lollypop 5.0 for N9005, which I have not yet got the update. Would it be better to wait for the official update for my carrier (Vodafone Australia). If I install an update for 5.0 (any suggestions for a good firmware) from another region, would it be compatible?

I have tried towelroot, and it does not work (I believe there was an update which blocked it).

If anyone has updated from the Vodafone AU phone, or from 4.4.2, any tips is most welcome.

Rooting is not required to install a custom recovery.

You need to install a custom recovery such as twrp to install a custom rom.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbyj:
Blu Spark r_92 for 5.1.1 is hands down the best kernel I've used. Its blu_active governor with hotplug, working with 1612mhz.... it made the best performing kernel I've found. In fact, I am the current world record holder on geekbench 3 for motog3's. I scored a 1689 multi-core a few days ago. With the stock Kernel, it will average about 525/1550 (single/multi)... with blu_spark, optimal settings, and a cool phone --- 550's/1680's. Heat has never been a problem for me with it. I use it all day, everyday. And with proper tweaking of the blu-active governor, I can get a full day's worth of use out of it. Even graphic intensive and CPU loaded games -- Real Racing 3 for instance, It runs smooth and under the radar as far as tempature throttling goes.

A little birdy told me that they were able to get 1.8ghz and 525mhz out of their moto g with tweaking of the blue spark kernel. I can not verify this. But I trust the source.

Anyways, as far as 6.0 kernels go.... X-Finity R3 has been my favorite so far. The choice of governors/tunables/hotplugs/IO schedulers.... is a tuners dream come true! I realize there's an R4 available, but after trying it twice downloaded, and installed clean, then installed dirty.... I get random reboots during in kind of use. Intensive, or dozing. R3, doesn't do this for me.

Anyways, I've found the R3 works well with Conservative Govenor, intelliplug conservative, hysteriesis of 12, threshold disabled, touch boost on @ 800mhz on cpu0 and cpu1, disabled on the 2 and 3. Further, I set the governor up as such: Down 50, ignore nice load 0, freq step 9, sampling down 1, sam rates 200000 and 200000, and up @ 95%. Then I put the minimum boost times @ 0ms. IO is deadline. 200 read expire, 7500 write expire. Fifo batch of 2, and writes starved 24.

GPU is 465max, 200min, simple on demand. But I check the GPU renders 2d under dev options.

With these settings... i can get amazing battery life, super fast performance, and efficient cpu management. I'm never running more cores than I need, running hot, lagging, etc.

So my question is this:

-Why did blu spark integrate OC into the cpu's.... and a rather large one at that -- about 260mhz or 20%! And yet, now we have 4 custom kernels -- squid, xfinity, optimus, and ultra.... and not one of them has overclocking?

It'd be impressive to see someone find a voltage/freq table that allows for 1.7 or even 1.8ghz out of these processors. I'd certainily be willing to test it first!

3)Gallery with Media Backup : QUICKPIC

most of the people uses google drive or google photos app to backup media files into cloud. limited storage is available

-> replace such apps and default gallery with quickpic. it gives you more storage and by referring the app to your friends you can get 1TB cloud storage on CM cloud

4)Top Games apps

Games developed by KETCHAPP will be more interesting they might not be adventurous games but they will be more enthusiastic

5)PIC Editors

thousands of editors are at play store every editor has their unique features its your choice but we suggest Retrica and instagram
