[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] 52brandon:
I've rooted every single android phone I've owned. I was one of the first people to run CyanogenMod on my Droid when some crazy no-named guy named Koush appeared out of nowhere and said SPRecovery that we had ALL had wasn't "real" recovery and created his own recovery in order to flash the real CyanogenMod ROM. Later this recovery would be called Clockwork Mod. I remember flashing .sbf files that replaced everything on the phone just for a silly custom boot logo. I used to kang features and themes from N1 threads on here, back when that was really the only phone on XDA. I used to build ROMs and custom themes and all that craziness. I remember when changing the clock color was unbelievably complicated. Google integrated many features first pioneered by devs into their main product that these phones all run on now. Taking away our ability to do that may very well slow the development of Android. It defeats the purpose of open-source. If you wish to forgo the freedom of root for the security of KNOX, or Samsung Pay, or whatever feature that conflicts with root, you're free to do so, even if rooting is possible. And manufacturers have always warned against rooting because it takes away from the security features they worked hard to include, and none have ever been held accountable for someone rooting a device before. It wouldn't be any different now. I guess, in summary, they really have nothing to lose by allowing root. Even if I have no real reason to root, I still would like the option to do on a device that I shelled out $700+ for. Rooting never was for everybody. But because some developers were nice enough to simplify the process to the point a chimp could do it. Literally. People that probably shouldn't root, did it anyways, but then felt that they shouldn't be responsible for their own actions. But for those of us that don't need our hand held throughout the entire process of owning a device, having the freedom to treat our property as we like doesn't seem like it's asking all that much. Especially for a device that runs on open-source software...

(Good God, I rambled a lot longer than intended. Sorry about the novel)

No audio comes across speaker while playing music, etc.. Microphone also only works in a call. Google Now, etc. can't hear me talk.

I've tried different firmwares(via odin), kernels, and roms. No luck. Tried on both Lollipop and Marsh mellow. Anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas on solution? I figure its got to be software related since the speaker/mic work in the phone app once a call is initiated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Well, you can start by telling us the model of your device (some people post in the wrong place)

We also need to know the firmware versions you've tried and what you wiped, if you wiped, kernels, mods, roms....etc.

Do you have a custom recovery installed?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starzboy77:
Been looking through the root guide and of course will be unlocking and rooting. Should I first unlock, flash TWRP, load stock. Set up stock with my accounts and settings. Reboot to TWRP. Make NAND back up. Then root and then flash a rom? I'm still confused about the library IMG file. Will I need to do anything with it assuming the phone I receive was manufactured within the last 2 months?

Any other tips/suggestions would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
If you plan on unlocking bootloader, do that first. Device has to be wiped clean when doing so.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdizzle415:
update to the March MHC19I update before modifying the system partition. It'll save you the headache of doing it via fastboot and re-rooting.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starzboy77:
So unlock bootloader. Flash TWRP. Load stock. Update to latest update (can I do this via OTA?) Then NAND back up and flash ROM?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holla420:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
I'll give it a try. Comments from anyone?

Unlock bootloader then upgrade to latest FW by OTA (or vice versa?), then flash TWRP and nandroid. Now root.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starzboy77:
Great. I hope the OTA will pop up as soon as possible or is there a way to manually search for updates through system settings? By the way, thank you everyone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Unlock your bootloader, then take the OTA(s) to the latest build (MHC19I). You can't take an OTA with TWRP installed so don't flash that first. If for some reason the OTA doesn't appear you can just flash the factory images for the latest build in order to update. Once you're fully up to date you can flash TWRP and make a nandroid backup. Then just flash whatever ROM you want to use. Keep in mind that after flashing the ROM + gapps you also need to flash the appropriate vendor image to suit the build of the ROM you're flashing. You can flash it with fastboot, or use the "install image" option in bottom-right corner of the install menu in TWRP (TWRP can flash some images now).

I have detailed instructions in my guide:

That's completely normal. The only way to disable fastboot start is to go back to stock.

It's booting to fastboot, because your bootloader is unlocked.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snark.shark:
I originally posted this in the Fire HD forum, but was told the most up to date procedure was probably here. Is that true?

My situation is this. My main Fire is a Fire 5th Gen (the $49 one), and I got comfortable with using it JUST with Google Play installed and no other tweaks. I used the Rootjunky Supertool program and ADB to do that under 5.1.1.

I just got, as a secondary device, a used HD7 4th Gen. The previous owner must have had it upgrade to 5.1.2 recently, because that's what it came with. I'm aware that there are (probably even more reliable that with the 5th Gen) ways to back-apply FireOS4 and get the thing rooted without bricking it, but... at this point I'm not ready for that. Like with my Gen5 I just want Google Play on it.

What I don't know is if the current tools around to do that (like the Supertool) will WORK with an HD7 4th Gen and 5.1.2. I've been told in a general sort of manner that the procedure just to get a non-rooted Play store install should be "the same" as for the 5th Gen device, but that doesn't say to me that the Supertool would work. Or does it (since it just says "5th Generation" on it's descriptions)? And if not, what other took or script does?

I will say I already have Developer Mode and ADB access turned on, and even have a copy of ES File Manager from the Amazon Store on the HD7-4thGen, suspecting that one or both of those would come in handy. So what's next?

Thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerbey:
I just purchased a Fire that came preloaded with 5.1.2. I can confirm SuperTool installed Google Apps just fine. Google prompted me to upgrade the services framework which worked without a hitch. I've not tried anything else yet such as removing ads, and we already know root doesn't work in 5.1.2 yet.

Some Play Store apps may not work, or may be quirky if they do but that is par for the course with Amazon devices that haven't been reimaged to a "real" Android OS.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
I don't think anyone here is going to stick their neck out to answer an off-topic question. If you want to know if it works try it! Otherwise the Fire HD forum is your best resource.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snark.shark:
Funny how that works, when someone there used virtually the identical wording to point me HERE:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- devices are not "literally identical" - not even close

- HD 7 is clearly off-topic for this forum
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snark.shark:
I went back there and asked again, so we'll see what happens.

It boggles my mind that nobody there would have tested installing Play on one of the 4thGen devices (without all of the rooting shenanigans I mean). But that seems to be what's being implied--literally nobody knows if it works.

Heck, looking around here I'm not sure if anyone knows if it works still under 5.1.2 with the 5th Gen device (which I also have). My 5th Gen updated 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 (because I hadn't blocked OTA updates--and just had Play installed and no root). Play still worked after the update, but it's really got me curious if the Rootjunky tool even still works under 5.1.2 (aside from the rooting stuff, which I know doesn't).

EDIT - sorry, just saw zerbey's post up there. I'm assuming zerbey means with a 5th Gen device, so that's answered. Since my 5th Gen already had Play from 5.1.1 it was just curiosity driving that question either (although it also occurred to me it might be nice to know in case there is ever a reason to reinstall Play). As for the 4th Gen device, was there ever even an equivalent to the supertool (even if less automated)? That's part of what I've been trying to find out, and I'm supposing why that person pointed me to this forum. But as I've said I've gone back there and asked again.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
In general FireOS v4 and Google Play Services don't play nice together. The combo can be made to work, sort of, but each refresh seems to bring new challenges. Blocking component updates is frustrating as apps are increasingly dependent on current/recent versions of Play Services. FireOS v5 appears to be more accommodating.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snark.shark:
I'm not talking about FireOS4. I'm talking about the 4th Gen device (HD7-Gen4) with 5.1.2 on it, and wanting just Play Store without root. Again, I know the primary place to ask about that is the HD forum, but because of a bum answer there that insisted that someone here might know the specific tools better (because they tend to root everything in that forum by default, I guess, and seem to think the procedure to add Play should be the same), that's how this got posted here.

Actually I just had an answer in the other forum that again insisted nobody there knows squat about adding Play to the HD7 without rooting, so... I guess I'm likely stuck rooting the damn thing (which also means backapplying FireOS4--the part that scares me).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
I forgot 4th gen devices were upgraded to FireOS 5. A consequence of trying to provide assistance for another device type that is not typically discussed in a 5th gen device forum. I hang my head in shame for misunderstanding your off-topic question.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Go here and read the all of the first post. Then download one of the two Marshmallow roms. Which one you download will depend on how you want to install it. They are the same except for the flashing process. For option one you want the exe version of Marshmallow. For option two, download the zip version and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (the first character in the name is a zero, not the letter o). Option 3, download the zip and follow Dottat's directions for using fastboot to flash it.

Ummm? I'm on Jasmine 6.1 but have lollipop? Not sure what exactly you're asking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
If you were on stock rom or jasmine. On jasmine you need to get the xposed Uninstaller flash it in flashfire, run snapchat cause it will work after xposed is not shown in the "framework" then use titanium backup to back up the app and data, flash the xposed installer then it should stay logged in, if not you got titanium backup again and just restore "data" of the snapchat and it will be logged in. I backed mine up from the stock rooted firmware/ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ExpialZLD:
So basically I can still have Jasmin install while uninstalling xposed then back up Snapchat then install xposed again using flashfire?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
That's what I've been told. That's not what I did myself, I was on the stock rom before I flashed jasmine when I did the back up. Yes, titanium backup. Install app then restore "data" and good to go

Did you get it taken care of??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kronicstyle:
No. I'm still unsure of exactly what to do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
what part? the Uninstaller of xposed or just save the snapchat data?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kronicstyle:
The uninstalling, flashing, and reflashing. I've been using youtube videos to root my phone, so I feel very lost without it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
Go to this page and download the arm Uninstaller, also download the arm 21 zip file and the first download alpha 4 apk.

Flash the Uninstaller in flashfire

go to titanium back up and uninstall the xposed app. do the back up of snapchat after you login. Go back to the apps you downloaded install the xposed alpha 4 apk, go to flashfire find the arm 21 zip for xposed and flash that, bam you're good again. Also you'll have a back up of snapchat if you ever log out or need the data in titanium again. Move everyone you downloaded or backed up to the "SD CARD"!!! TRUST ME YOU THANK ME LATER OR WILL BE LIKE DAMN I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO HIM lol. Change the save location of titanium Backup to the sd card before you back up the snapchat.
