[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhchow:
Hi, Ive recently rooted my phone and was just wondering what I need to do to get OTA for marshmallow in the future and I have a few questions about stock rom.

1. Do I lose root when flashing stock rom?

2. Do my apps and data get deleted when I flash stock rom?

3. Do I lose TWRP and revert to stock recovery when I flash stock rom?

Noob here, so thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Marshmallow OTA, you are very optimistic mate, might take 3 months if not more.

Anyway, to answer your queries, yes, flashing stock ROM via Odin removes everything, I mean it removes root, it removes any custom recovery and restores stock recovery. But no it won't wipe your internal memory, but here again there are some firmwares where the devices does get wiped out, but I don't know exactly which one are those! But most firmwares don't touch your internal memory. But if you are coming from a custom ROM then it is highly recommended (mandatory actually) to completely wipe the phone using a custom recovery and then only flash stock ROM.

About thanks, hit the metre, saying thanks doesn't mean anything here in XDA ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekoo89:
My device has some strange reactions when using fingerprints on both Stock and Cyanogen:

Configuration:

Ask for pin at startup is disabled

Smart Lock is enabled (by places and bluetooth trusted devices)

Tried with Smart Lock's body detection enabled and disabled, but I get the same result

The main problem is that many times (not all times, it's randomly) when I use finger print to unlock, it also asks for pin/pattern (seems like fingerprint is not enough for my device...) even when I'm at a "trusted place" or connected to a trusted bluetooth device.

Also, the device asks for pin at boot (this option is disabled).

Based on some tests, it's not caused by "failed fingerprint reads", and it happens randomly on Stock and Cyanogen.

It's very annoying to have to use fingerprint AND pin/pattern. It never happened on other fingerprint enabled device.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
PIN at boot and first unlock after boot are not the same. PIN at boot prevents Android from starting. First unlock after boot will always require a PIN.

If you use your fingerprint all the time, it will prompt for a PIN every 48 hours.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekoo89:
I'll take a look at that.

For me, it randomly asks for pin after fingerprint, approx. 30-40% of unlocks, in the same day and without reboots.

Yup,

To disable this app, you can install : a debloater like said above you, or root the phone to install "system app remover" from playstore (once rooted ) ( You can DL it here )

And i tried to use the dictation with google when i removed it, doesn't work, maybe it's linked ( if i remember well ^^ )

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, if not a moderator please move it to the right place.

I installed GL to SD after I opened it he said I needed to change some issues / paste files and restarts.

Now I no longer have access to Ext Sd Card, I can not read or access anything. In the file manager says he has no more space available on it (before had 20GB available). I can not copy anything on it.

I pressed "restore Samsung Press" in the application, but did not solve the problem.

In my notebook I can read / write the Micro SD card removed from the cell through the adapter for the USB port.

When I put the Sd Card via USB OTG cable it can read / write the card also.

I tried with another Micro SD card and the same problem occurred. It seems that the GL To SD took my tablet's ability to access the Ext Sd Card.

Help me solve this problem.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vmo x:
hello all, I just bought this device for around $630 in AUD brand new with a spigen case included thought it was time for a upgrade came from a nexus 5 running AICP 6.0.1 HammerheadCAF with racer caf kernel also has the latest twrp so when it comes to flashing stuff I know what I'm doing.... anyway I noticed there is very little for the s6 compared to other devices ive bought from google so can you guys point me out to the most stable, most recent custom rom, looking for little to no bloatware As it takes up in size.... as far as the device goes I have not received it yet just getting prepared for when it does arrive. need directions to rooting and custom recovery as well not sure if the bootloader needs to be unlocked? I'm aware that this device is 64 bit so is that the reason for very little mods or just lack of devs?

I also noticed that there is such a thing called alliance framework which helps with customizing the rom as well as theming am I right?

all these things are considered so with that being said I would like to know what you guys are running and whats the best out there in your opinion at this point it time :o :angel:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

First regarding the most stable or best ROM, I suggest you to, as you probably did with the Nexus 5, look the threads and check for complaints of bugs and features, so that you can know what's the best for you. There are lots of debloated ROMs, and most say so already in the thread title.

About the lack of development, it's due to Samsung processor Exynos. Since Samsung takes too long or doesn't even release the processor documentation and development sources, it is very hard to develop anything that is not based on TouchWiz, which is Sammy's framework on the stock ROM. Recently the CyanogenMod Team took the Galaxy S6 as an official branch, so I believe that we will have a CM based ROM soon and I hope it will bring more development to our device!

I don't know about that framework, although if it's something that is used on the S6, then you will probably find it in any development or general section.

Rooting is as simple as flashing TWRP and SuperSU, although it'll trip your Knox, which is a flag in the bootloader that shows that something was modified in your device, there is no way to reverse and on most countries it results in void warranty. If your device ships with Android 5.0.2, then you can try using Ping Pong Root (again, just check the development threads for it), which is a root method that doesn't trip Knox.

I'm still running stock since I'm waiting to try out Samsung Pay, which requires untouched Knox. So yeah, welcome to the S6 family! Hope you enjoy your device :). If I forgot to answer anything let me know.

All the best,

~Lord

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danielsinnema:
Hi there,

A few weeks ago I finally flashed Android Marshmallow to my Nexus 7 2013. Yesterday I wanted to factory reset the device, but it failed somehow. Then I tried to enter the recovery manually, but it shows me that green Android thing laying on its back. Next I flashed stock ROM via fastboot. The flashing process went well, but when I try to enter the recovery it will once again show me the green Android skin.

Then I tried to flash TWRP via fastboot. The process of flashing it was successful, but I can't enter the recovery...

I have searched for some time but I couldn't find the answer on this forum. Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Daniël
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danielsinnema:
Oh, and by the way, I used this tutorial ( http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/ ) a few months ago , because the "regular" way of flashing didn't work. When I tried flashing via the regular way, it told me that the file size was "too large", so the installation was cancelled.

The tutorial instructed me to:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

Maybe I removed something I shouldn't have removed.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance!

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
Because if the bootloader was unlocked by default, people could hack into your phone or access it's data by bypassing the code on the lock screen
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Oehr:
not like a locked bootlocker is synonymous with encryption, nor that it makes a phone unhackable. so if that is really their argument, i call bull****!

I dont get this locking at all, be it xiaomi, samsung or whoever. If I buy a smartphone, I want to own it, having full control over both hard- and software. Anything less is unacceptable to me.

If I buy a computer or laptop, I can always install another OS on there and am not forced to use the software that came with it. Why can't smartphones be the same?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Well see that is the thing. There are not opensource bootloaders for Android that could completely replace the bootloader on the device. If you did remove all the OEM software on a device you would have to load even the base bootloader by a jtag device before you would even flash an OS to the device. The bootloader is under the TOS you agreed to when you bought the phone. The hardware you own. The software you buy a license to use. You dont own it.

As for why they do it. One guy got an email reply when he asked and it is simple. They didnt like people removing their services (which is how they make money) So they locked the bootloader so you could only flash MIUI roms with their inbuilt services. Anything else they say is just more BS to come from them.

Also for your PC comment. That has recently changed. The windows 10 32 bit computers come with a locked bootload as well, you have to go through a TON of bs to get it unlocked.

Mi3 was launched in late 2013. I bought it on like September 2014. No custom ROMs were available. Some months later Ivan (he is not official Dev). But his work is closest to official ones. So hopefully he may release AOSP ROM from official sources (he doesn't share them).

About Mi3 kernel sources, they were delaying it. And it was said that once Mi4 will launch they will release. After launch more delays. And finally after months passed of Mi4 launch they released the kernel source. (it may not have all the modules)

But for Mi Note, it's relatively quick.

Similarly it may take few months.
