[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecholino:
Why don't you stick with Barebone v 12.5 until official MM arrives? Do you experience any issues/bugs?

I am currently on V12.5 with xposed + amplify, removed few more apps and with BORETS24's kernel. The device runs smooth and I get around 5hrs SOT (battery lasting 2 full days). And I have everything enabled (data, wifi, location..).

I tried Echoe's rom but it just has too much bloatware for me. I installed it, wasted 2 hours setting it up and deleting useless stuff only to realise that it is not as responsive as Prism's Barebone v12.5. So I'm sticking with v12.5 even though it wont be updated anymore.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermarkofroms:
I switched because well as much as I love a stock asus based rom my issue is I want more themeing options and Asus just dont have and I don't think will offer 3rd party again besides I do love some of the AOSP roms out there like blisspop but I am now expirenceing an issue with my phone This is before I even opted to install blisspop as I have not done it yet for some reason I am able to access TWRP through adb reboot recovery on windows but I can't access my bootloader using the power and volume down or adb reboot bootloader and I am not sure why at the moment. I like my phone like I like my linux pc with themeing options

Edit: Flashing blisspop 6.0.1 did not fix my bootloader issue and I also tried flashing the boot.img manually
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecholino:
i guess you mean, that power + VOL-UP didn't work right? if you were pressing VOL-DOWN, try VOL-UP :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermarkofroms:
Yeah sorry I meant up and it still dont work I can only access recovery but through adb if I try and load the bootloader the asus logo just sits there and after like a minute the phone reboots and sists on asus logo again if I turn off device manually and turn it on normal the phone turns on so I am not 100% sure what is going on its really weird

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majellico:
Hey,

I'm using Temasek's CM13 v4.3 with blu_spark r94.

I had install gapps from opengapps.org and got all but the contacts app connected with my Google account with no issue. Running the app brings me to a Google service login that will not let me login for my account "already exist on [my] device". The Accounts settings page and Google's sync shows no problem occurring and even has the Peoples confirming a sync.

It is as if I have no contacts on my Google account; I do.

A factory reset and updated gapps as well as grabbing Contacts from the app store shows no success. Is anyone else experiencing this strange mess or has an idea what is wrong?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IchBinNoob:
I had this issue too, but after I waited a few hours (with wifi in) the issue was gone. Do you already looked online on the google contacts site? Maybe you really not have any contacts?

This worked for me ... Gapps missing Google Contacts Sync in the package

I found a solution. The problem is that the Open Gapps is missing or not installing the package Google Contacts Sync, which is needed for contacts to sync properly.

Install this apk:- apkmirror com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-6-0-release/google-contacts-sync-6-0-2280749-android-6-0-android-apk-download/

(Add . after www and apkmirror)

And in Settings > Apps, enable the Contacts permission for Google Contacts Sync. Remove your Google account, reboot, and then re-add and your contacts should sync.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Root is the permission to access the root, aka '/', aka very first level of the drive, the root of the drive.

It is also known as "super user". See security enhanced linux permissions for more info.

Super user access is complete control over the entire system with the abilty to talk directly to the kernel, the kernel controls the entire system. This is not allowed on mobile systems by default because of copyrights and drm. Linux is free. Everything attached to it, isnt. Simple as.

So root access in short allows you to bypass copyright and drm and conveys piracy in most cases.

In the utopic scenario it is for developers to access otherwise restricted features of a device in order to produce their own software, from apps to roms to operating systems.

I hope this explains it in laymans so everyone has a basic grasp of "root" and what it does.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] handrews3:
Screen Assurance Program,rooted,flashed CM 12 & TWRP,unlocked bootloader,FREAKING OUT

Okay, I screwed up.

I unlocked the bootloader with Sunshine, flashed Cyanogenmod 12 and TWRP Recovery, and then proceeded to spike my phone into the ground. I thought it would be a great idea to take advantage of the Droid Turbo Screen Assurance Program, and went to the Verizon Store and ordered my replacement, free of charge. However, I now realize that was a stupid idea, because when my replacement arrives, I'll have to send my original handset back, which has an unlocked bootloader, root access, and a custom ROM. That will make my handset ineligible for the Assurance Program, and Verizon will charge my account the full retail price of a new Droid Turbo.

People have said that I cannot relock the bootloader without bricking the phone, but according to the Sunshine developers' Q&A on their site, it says I can do it once. I'm willing to take that chance.

Can anyone give me step by step how to go from CM12 with root and an unlocked bootloader back to complete stock 5.1 without root and a locked BL? Do I use ADB, TWRP, RSDLite? I'm really a noob and have no idea.

I already tried flashing one of the stock zips using TWRP, but that didn't work, it just gave me an error.

If I can't figure this out, I can send the rooted handset back, pay the money, and use my new Droid, or I figure I can send the replacement right back and be right back where I started.

Can anyone help a brother out?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
Your device is not covered under the Assurance program due to unlocked bootloader. They will automatically bill you for a new device upon receiving your damaged one. XDA is not a place to help circumvent warranty and discuss committing fraud. There is no way to relock and put your device back to an unaltered, like new state.

[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] what is the story on this? I know there have been at least two who have soft bricked their phone after a bootloader relock. Is it custom nonstock based ROMs or something?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] beaups:
If you manage to relock a motorola device, you have to follow a specific process. Not sure what issues people are having. But its pointless anyhow, relocked devices show a different lock status code. You can't truly set a motorola device back to the original locked status.

Also, SunShine won't be able to unlock a device that's been relocked.

--beaups
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Latiken:
I meant to point that out; in the bootloader, the device will show that the status is Modified, even if you manage to relock it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] elderlypunk:
Lol. Yeah people have been known to do that on purpose... And sometimes humor is not this sites forte. Seriously though, good luck. Don't know what your odds are of succeeding, but I hope you do. Somehow I think Verizon will survive.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
I never accused you of intentionally breaking your phone, I'm not sure where that thought came from. Your best bet is to replace the screen at a place of your choosing versus paying $500+. Like I said before, you have to fall under the restrictions/requirements for the assurance program. There's a reason for this.

For instance, say you manage to relock your bootloader and messed with the system files before returning. You got lucky, and I mean VERY lucky, and they missed your alterations.

New person receives your device, receives an update, bricks phone because of modification. They try to return but is forced to pay for a new phone because someone ELSE voided the warranty.

Is it right? No. If you have to question yourself about this certain situation, then that's a problem.

As a side note: you may relock your bootloader but will ALWAYS say bootloader has been unlocked while turning on, something that they WILL DO upon receiving your device.

I'm just trying to save you the time and money.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] markjrey:
Not as stupid as it sounds

This isn't as bad an idea as it sounds,

1. Install VMWare

2. Create and XP guest machine ensuring to enable USB devices

3. Install Windows XP on the guest

4. Install VMWARE tools on the guest

5. Install Activesync on the guest, reboot the guest to allow it to pickup and install the PocketPC

Thus you have yourself a dedicated machine for mucking about with rom's etc.

I just upgraded my Atremis to WM6 via the VMware guest and it worked perfectly.

note. Getting VMWare running on Vista (esp x64) can be interseting, hunt through forum posts tho and you should get it running ok. (Had to modify the BDC to allow undisgned drivers in my case!)

No more forced windows updates sucking up my bandwidth, more free space on my hard disk, and the only gaming app that I use for my ps2 games (PCSX2), finally runs at 60fps (can you imagine on windows 10 the emulator would drop between 40-50 fps)!!! Thanks again for making my day! :)

ptrkhh, did you by any chance figure out how to configure the power and volume buttons???

[Microsoft Surface] Kiric:
Fan-damn-tastic!!!

Like the other person above, I made an account just to express my EXTREME gratitude for the amazing work that was done.

I just got myself a surface book for dirt cheap, fantastic device, horrible OS. I'm not one to shy away from randomly screwing with things, so on my research for windows 8 installs for the Book, I found this absolute GEM of a post.

Downloaded the image, and threw it on my Surface Book and here's what happened:

a) installed flawlessly

b) activated instantly

c) everything that works on the Pro, works on the book. The keyboard and mouse work too!!!

d) The BIG one... the DETACH...... IT WORKS!!! Hold the detach button like normal, and, granted it seems to take a second or so longer than it did on Win10, but it releases JUST fine.

e) the dual batteries. I didn't test it for long, but Win8 seems to drain the base battery and leave the tablet battery alone.

f) the power /vol buttons do the same thing as the pro4, but i really don't care. Actually, the Book doesn't have a windows button on the tablet, so the vol down button doing that is actually a HUGE plus for me. Screw the volume controls! :P

g) i have not figured out the nvidia drivers yet, but i also haven't tried too hard yet. So that's a negative so far.

h) Front camera does weird infared things. It will be disabled.

I would imagine even if i get the dual gpu to work, if i start a program with the nvidia, and disconnect the screen, it will probably go all fubar and need a hard restart. The latch seems to run independently from the rest, and without software watching it, it WILL do what you tell it to, period. (my assumption, haven't tried it yet)

Battery life has not been tested much yet.

Device manager shows 2 unknown devices. I'm assuming one is the GFX card, the other one, probably the detatch button. If that's not it i have no idea. Really don't care though.

Updates pick up on new driver versions just fine. (again, so far)

I have the i5 version w/dual gfx. I have no idea what will and won't happen with the i7, the i7 with nvidia, or the newest performance base with the better nvidia gfx. I doubt much will be different, but much as I did, proceed at your own risk!

I hope this was useful, and if it was, let everyone know it works!!!!

If anyone wants, I can post an update after I finish setting it up, and had some real-life usage of it. If not, my feelings will not be hurt! :p
