[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KortexGR:
Hello,

Today me and a friend of mine noticed something really weird on the Nexus 5X. If you have the factory default wallpaper enabled (the one that appears on the box of the phone) and try to access the camera while the screen is locked the top of the screen starts to clutter.

In order to observe this you have to have:

1) The wallpaper set to the factory default one.

2) The phone locked.

Then you have to start dragging the camera icon at the lower right corner of the screen slowly without releasing. At some you will notice that a small portion at the top of the screen starts to clutter and display weird colors. At first I thought that this a hardware related issue (faulty screen) but I have verified that the same thing happen on other devices as well. Setting the wallpaper to any other, other than the default one seems to not cause this.

Both phones I tested this on where running Android 6.0.1 and had all the latest updates installed. I know this is something really minor and mostly unnoticeable but it would be really nice to know what could cause this.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
I would never have noticed this if it weren't for this thread. It seemed to only happen with the default wallpaper as stated by the OP. Most people would never notice this because they customize the wallpaper and probably never use the camera shortcut on the lock screen.

Guys, for some time I'm trying to flash the original system, but for some reason does not end Flashtool flashing and leaves me with the classic mistake of update failure.

Im on CM12 and when I try to flash the original ftf on Flashtool, (Lollipop 5.1.1) always fails in the part of "System.sin."

I tried to flash even with ALL formatted memory (System, Internal, Cache...) , I even tried to flash a zip with the stock firmware but when I turn on my device it cant boot and always I have to go back to CM12.

Any help? Sorry for my english :)

Search for the TWRP.img most recent on his official page, flash it with FlashTools in section of flash kernel.

Then when you have twrp in recovery, flash any Sony rom based that comes with NutDualBootRecovery preinstaled like Existenz.

It will fix yourk kernel to Sony based kernel, and you could use FashTools again.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julien712:
Hello

You have to use this tool

With the n°5 (debrand) and 1 (from AL10 to L29)

it seem that your phone is recognized as a AL10 instead of L29

the tool is going to download a .img (1,2 gb for me) and it will apply to your phone.

The process takes 10 minutes (with fiber it's fast, but dsl line...)

After reboot, you will have the default theme of Mate 8 (L29 = European Version)

I have this issue too, and with this, it solved the same problem.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Keeper:
Ady_uaic, I also have that problem and FINALY i've figured it out...

above the LCD screen, there's a thin transparent glass screen (touchscreen), which has a small ribon that connects to your phone.

check this link for a picture of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Dopod-818-i...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (*)

The thing is...once, when i was opening my phone, i did a small cut on the ribon by mistake and now the screen behaves like that...I've found that if i gently push that touchscreen to the right, the ribon will sometimes bend a little bit and will make a perfect contact which allows me to keep the phone aligned...unfortunately this is only temporarely since sometimes the ribon moves and of course, the alignment is lost...So, i would advice you to check if the ribon is intact and not broken somewhere...if it is broken, then you know what to do: Buy a new touchscreen and/or an LCD w/ touchscreen included. :(

Hope this helps...

Regards,

Keeper

(*) although similar, do note that this touchscreen AIN'T for the magician, so don't order this one!

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imcass:
Hi everyone!

I've been debating over whether I should unlock the bootloader or not. Because I really haven't made up my mind, I came here looking for some feedback.

Right now I 'm running LP 5.1.1 rooted and with xposed installed. The phone is really fluid, no lagging problems as far as I can see.

The main thing keeping me from unlocking is the bootloop issue (my G4 is from the 505 series). I know some users managed to have repairs under warranty, but I contacted LG Portugal and they basically said that there is a real possibility they won't fix my phone if something happens.

If I unlocked, I would definitely install some stock-based rom, as I don't want to loose the awesomeness that is the G4's stock camera experience. With my current setup I'm able to squeeze 3/3:30h SOT almost everyday.

So, with all that in mind, is it really worth unlocking the bootloader and loosing the warranty just to basically update from LP to MM and possibly have a custom kernel? Is MM that good of an upgrade?

Thanks (:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzfzx:
dont unlock it.

1.i think that with this bootloop issue around you would want the warranty to stay as long as it can even if they tell you that they wont fix it....and i find it kind of hard to believe because what the warranty is for beside that? :/.

2.the differences 5.1 to 6.0 are only minor and i must say that my battery life is the same ( i dont have root, i use stock MM)

I thought I was SOL when I stupidly updated to 5.0 without checking if you could keep root, or if there even was root. This would be awesome.

I was literally just looking to potentially get a new phone, was thinking of ditching samsung altogether for nexus, until I realized they don't use microsd (plus no stylus, I actually use that thing and the stylus app at work).

If I can root again I'll definitely hold on to the phone longer, and I would definitely donate a bit if it's through paypal, as this would save me a lot of money not upgrading for now.

Thanks for the hard work, guys, hope it works out.

I have been watching this closely... Finally had to register and say something. I used to have a rooted Note 1 and loved it. I hadn't had a phone for a long time and got this one a while ago. I have tried to no end to root this damn thing but no success. I finally came to realise that I seemingly ended up buying the worst version of the note 3 possible. I bought a US note 3 rather than a Canadian one because the prices were way better, but now I'm kicking myself in the ass for buying Verizon's. Really wish I had done some homework first :(

I'll be watching and waiting with baited breath. This is driving me nuts.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] scottgl9:
I'm attempting to patiently wait for this exploit. It seems like someone who actually achieved root access would want to publish their finding immediately. I think the case here is they "think" they found a root exploit, and are possibly scrambling to release it to the public on the 15th, either that or it's fake. I'm personally researching possible root exploits in my free time, because I'm extremely doubtful that root access has been achieve on 4.4.4+. The youtube video proves absolutely nothing. Honestly I'll be somewhat surprised if this is legitimate. Here are some ideas I'm investigating in the meantime:

1) Inject su and SuperUser.apk into the sparse ext4 format system.img.ext4 from the odin package

2) If someone has a rooted N900V and is on 4.4.4 NJ6 firmware, please do a raw dump of your full system partition, and post it. I may be able to convert to a pre-rooted odin package

3) Find unused executable from system.img.ext4 (in sparse format), find the offset of the unused executable in the sparse image, and directly replace the binary data of the executable with the binary data of su (replaced e2fsck with su executable (zero padded to match size of e2fsck), haven't been able to successfully flash with ODIN yet, still investigating what aboot checks that is causing it to fail)

4) NJ6 is running Kernel version 3.4.0, I'm sure there are quite a few Linux exploits which work on Kernel version 3.4.0 and lower.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xm41907:
I definitely understand the time involved with their work. What I'm referring to is that the video shows a fully working root script. If it is in fact real, then all they need to do is load it to a host site and share the link.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dfeldt91:
Just because they might have rooted the phone and had a script together as seen in the video doesn't mean they "just have to upload it and share a link". First, they don't even HAVE to share the work. Second, they could be working on a graphical UI instead of a script for windows or an app like Kingroot to download to the phone.. They could be putting together a virus to insert into phones. They could also be waiting for a paypal account to be fully verified so they can take PP donations and put them into an account in Yemen. Someone could be holding the two hostage and not allowing them to release the root method until they root the next big phone of 2017, lol. There is a lot that COULD be going on behind the scenes if they were able to root the phone but are not ready to release as stated..

I don't mind waiting until mid March as my birthday is April 5th so it would still be released early for me to have a fun day of removing bloatware for my one person party. Lot's of cake for everyo....for me..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xm41907:
I didn't mean it in the HAVE to as you put it. Of course they aren't required to post anything. I was meaning that since it appears that they have a working script, then there is nothing left that needs to be done before it could be released. Given that there have been several people falsely say they have rooted this device, but never stepped forward with the product, then I don't think it's unreasonable to be doubtful from just a youtube video.
