I followed the method mentioned in the replies to relock the bootloader, i.e, flashed the fastboot rom in edl mode

But for some strange reason, when I entered the fastboot mode and checked whether the bootloader is locked or not by "fastboot oem device-info", it said "Device Unlocked: True"

The main problem came when I booted into the ROM; It broke all kinds of wireless connections. The wifi malfunctioned, the phone wouldn't read the SIM cards etc.

Is there a solution? Please help

Thanks

I was thinking of taking a year off from Android development and see what IOS is like. I doubt it would be permanent, but am curious as to people's opinions. A developer mentor is switching to an IPad and this got me thinking.

Im one of the biggest android nut swingers around (talking **** about apple when the opportunity presents itself.)

That being said, let me be the first to say....

GO FOR IT.

You dont know how much greener the grass is over here until your looking back at it.

As far as something simple that works out of the box as it should, its a great device. your never going to have "facebook crashed" or launcher redraws. Simple and amazingly fluid UI, especially since they come with a single gb of ddr3 ram. (Amazing right?)

Kind of like hondas. every one talks crap about them, but that efficent little 4 cyl will ride on some v8's

The iTunes store was nice when it first came out, but it really draws back on the phone. The google play store is great being able to browse apps and then install them right from the web. Backing up is easier and you aren't tied to one computer. I had the original iPhone then got the iPhone 4 before switching to the Galaxy SIII
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
You can not install apps directly from the ITunes store?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
When you like the white-ui design iOS is a good choice, because Apple does not use amoled displays. That means less battery drain and better reading.

Google refuses to give users the option of a dark ui, but with root and layers it is customizable and cheaper.

iOS is nice if you can jailbreak but you still cant modify CPU and GPU or under the hood stuff like you can with Android. You can install unofficial apps from cydia like tweaks but its a different ball park. Android lets you do basic things that you cant do on an Iphone.

Just get an iPad and keep your Android. iPads are still a lot better IMO and you can test iOS throughly.

Jailbreak is carrier unlock not root or bootloader unlock?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
A jailbreak is modifying the system with a custom OS that's been changed. Carrier unlock requires you to be jailbroken. Most LTE phones are unlocked by carrier anyway. Root and jailbreak are similar but not the same. It's like running with administrator privileges on a Windows based system.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noidea24:
There's a lot of f-u-c-k-e-r-y in that post.

First of, both of you need to go here and read up some.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking.

If you're to lazy, then I'll just tell you. Jailbreaking is VERY similar to root. It allows access and modification to the system. With this you change basic or advance features. You CANT and never will be able to install a "custom OS" on an iPhone. There is maybe 1 semi working Android port. Everything else is all iOS.

Also carrier unlocked does not require you to be jail broken. You can have your carrier unlock it, or pay and give someone your imei for a network unlock code.

And another thing, most LTE phones are NOT carrier unlocked. For example, look at almost everyone of Verizon's phone. Sprint also likes to carrier lock things. But just like an iPhone, the carrier can unlock, or you can pay and give your imei code to get an unlock code.

Please do not try to pass off your assumptions as facts.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
Both of my older kids (college age) have iPhones, but I don't think I could ever go that route. That being said, if you just want a phone that works, has unparalleled 3rd party support with an excellent warranty, then an iPhone is the phone for you. I wouldn't recommend buying one if you plan on dinking around with it like we all do with our Android phones. Jailbreaking is sketchy and honestly doesn't get you that much. Most people go to Apple for the excellent ecosystem (and not to mention the warranty that jailbreaking will void), but jailbreaking pops you right out of that and basically puts you completely on your own, sort of defeating the purpose for an iPhone. A lot of carriers have really nice "iPhone for Life" type programs where every year you automatically get the latest iPhone. It's actually all a pretty sweet deal, but it's just not what I want from a phone. I'm a 20 year career network engineer, so anything and everything Apple has been the bane of my professional existence for a really long time, so I don't really care for anything Apple. But opinions vary! ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
Notice I said changed not installing a custom OS. By jailbreaking and modifying with tweaks and other tools, it's definitely not stock once you change it. I also stated that you cannot do any under the hood changes like CPU or GPU in an IPhone. Jailbreaking is similar to root by gaining access but not the same. I have Verizon and I have always been able to take the phones I bought with them to any carrier with the exception of Sprint because they suck. The att iPhone I had once only had GSM chip in so not CDMA carriers for it. I was told when I had my iPhone that I could unlock it from my carrier (which is hell) or do the other way, but was also told that I need to jailbroken for anything. I have modified the ipcc file before and when you backup your stuff, its a custom ipsw file. This is why I have an Android again.

Moving to iOS ? Sounds more like a punishment than a benefit.

The nice thing about iOS is that they pre-determine everything in advance for you like icon layout, interface, etc, etc without giving you option b/c obviously they know what's best for you. Being told what's good for you.....reminds me of the Federal Government actually.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
This sounds like good advice. Is the claim that even with jail breaking, I will not be satisfied?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Start with removing system apps I am not going to use to save battery life. I would need to be more familiar with IOS 9 to decide what else I would want done.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiemonkey:
This I completely agree with, I've used every phone os I can think of and if you want to dabble in IOS id suggest this since it'll give you everything you need and more from the iPhone in terms of development.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
Well I don't know if iOS 9.1 to 9.3 jailbreak is out but when I had my iPhone last year you could not remove system apps unless you know command code and it's risky as always. That was a deciding factor for me for it was not jail breakable. Android is made for rootkits and playing with. Apple locks their software down tight for "security" but I'm sure it has something to do with someone breaks their phone and then expects Apple care to fix or replace their phone. I had an iPhone twice and bricked it both times and I was able to fix twice. I have no bloatware with my Nexus 6 because it's Google. I love it and the developers that dedicate their time making Roms and kernels for us.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

To be honest I loved the iOS layout they use except the colors. I always thought iOS 6 was a great looking layout but they changed that and you jailbreak it to tweak it to look like iOS 6.

Useful to know. A side ssue is that it want to try out the Apple watch with an eye toward one that operates independently of an IPhone, at least after watch initialization.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
Android has gotten much better with both hardware and software in the last 2 years and iPhone runs a dual core 1.4GHz under clocked A7 (I think) and 1 GB of RAM. A decent priced Android today has a quad or octa core 2.6GHz(3.0GHz with custom kernels) as stock processor. That's why the iPhone runs well in terms of battery because the apps sleep in memory and they underclock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
If jail broken, and cannot delete system apps, what is there: sideloading unapproved Apple apps and themes? No way to improve battery life or notification bar? Can I access the filesystem and move data back and forth to a PC with using Icloud?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
You can tether which is free for Verizon now. Use cydia apps which are unapproved by Apple, apps, enhancements, and tweaks. Modify your radio chip which could give you cancer and not approved by the FCC. Honestly I got bored with my iPhone. I had a good run but I updated and just didn't want to wait for the cat and mouse game from Apple so I switched back to Android.

Even with these capabilities, would I last a year with an iPhone, before going back to Android?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmann03:
Well I haven't used it in a couple years but you couldn't just login on line and find an app and push it to your device. Backing up required connecting to iTunes which wasn't in the cloud but on your physical computer. I think they've changed some of that with iCloud but it's still rather limited. Switching to a new computer or a new device was a pita. The device itself is always rather slick and as others have said it just works. Jailbreak doesn't give you that much it did allow to tether and some other apps but not like what you can do with root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Although I am still looking for advice, I do not see myself as deranged. More like a short sabbatical from Android. Might be weeks or up to a year, no way to tell.

This is what I do.

Also, recently using this att gs7 edge... love the phone but no hope for root, custom ROMs, etc. I really hope for Android's sake that Google continues their Nexus program and manufacturers like Samsung don't make this another locked-down iOS. I think it could unfortunately happen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
I had a Note 4 which was locked down and was not rootable while I owned it. If the iPhone 7 and new Nexuses come with out around the same time, then with the likely Verizon lag, I have time to try IOS 10 before deciding to switch to the 2016 Nexus.

i rather pick another Nexus ,

i have owned samsung phones (s2/s5/note4) and i had AOSP flashed on each , but holy sheep after switching from the Note4 to my current phone the Nexus 6 , every CM/AOSP Rom on it feels 3 times as fast as they were on my Samsung phones...

so i will always stick to Nexus from now on, i already know what my next phone will be ! hint : Nexus 6P aww hell yeah!

screw Apple(Iphone's) they are all about that metallic thing with a huge price tag on them.

i would never pay 800-1000$ on their phones, and Samsung is taking the Apple direction, their recent price tags are also too damn high.

so screw both, Nexus for the win <3

Edit : i will give only one positive note on the iphone brand, their cameras are great, by great i mean they work really fast, i was always impressed at how damn fast it takes pics, so big plus point for the iphone cam.

I assume IPhone 7 will come to VZW first then(maybe) one or two of the Nexuses. When I get tired of Apple then it is Nexus phones from now on, if necessary with another carrier.

iOS on a new iPhone is actually a really good experience.......At first.... I had gotten frustrated with Android with my Nexus 5, back in the Kitkat days. I felt like performance and fluidness was not high enough on Google's "list to do", so I decided to switch over (I hate lag). That lasted roughly 8 months.

I like how fluid the OS is, but Android has caught up, especially with newer high end and mid range phones. Where iOS can still beat android however, is some in app experiences. Unless you've used specific iOS apps that show off the ability of the system, you can't understand this. However, I found the whole iOS\iPhone experience boring and limited..So boring and limited that I couldn't wait to jump ship.

There are times where I open certain apps and wish they ran like their iOS counterpart, but that's one small piece of the puzzle for an entire experience.

I had iPod Touch 4 and it was really nice little device for the money, it could do "almost" everything you can on android, it was fast, responsive and it worked (until iOS 5-6 that is, I blame the 256MB (lol) of RAM for it though) I even didn't have a problem with "You can only change you wallpaper and partially app grid." thingy even now I'm using completely stock Google UI no mods at all, but the thing, that was pissing me off SOOOO MUCH and is the sole reason that I will never use any iDevice EVER again is iTunes, without iTunes you can't do s**t.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You have to remember that android is just the OS come lately. Xda started out as a Wm (windows mobile not windows phone) forum and when the next os comes along it will go along with it.

Also you have to remember many business only allow IOS as work phones due to androids unsecured nature. Android is a great os for messing around with, but IOS is still the most secure and stable of the os out there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
All right, I understand better now. I had forgotten the origins with Windows mobile. Maybe another reason for a tryout of IOS?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To be honest I would give it a shot. Can't say you prefer one over the other if you never tried both.

Yeah it happens as android was the first smartphone for many so they don't know the history of XDA.

Don't let the fanbois get to you. Android fanbois are as bad as apples. They all want to think theirs is the best when in fact none are really better then others. You have Android for people that like to mess with their device and IOS for those that just need a device to work and spend more time living life then messing with their phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:

you'll lever know until you try... honestly, I would depending on your situation get an android tablet to play and try the iphone for a solid year, integrate it rather than just "float" it on the edges of your everyday.. I find that as I'm getting older and having to take care of things for my parents/kids more and more, I can't afford to miss calls or have my devices crash or be unavailable from flashing, tinkering or upgrading, so I do less and less, now a days I root, adblock and leave it. I can't afford to have a phone down during work, or on the weekend when I might be needed..

not sure of your situation, but as they lock android down more and more (knox, bootloaders, etc) it makes playing less and less likely..

in the end, your money, your choice.. you can always come back, there's no reward for loyalty ..
[G4 General] mickrick:
I've been trying for the last couple of days to root my MM G4 H815 v20e but all the guides I've tried to follow have either wanted TWRP installed before rooting, or root being required before installing TWRP. No matter which TWRP I tried, none would install. Yeah, the install would succeed ok, but when I tried rebooting into recovery all I got was the dead robot. Then I came across a method for running TWRP as a boot img and installing root from there. And it worked 100%, first time. So I'm putting this method on here so anyone else having the same problems as I had, can root their phone.

This is non-destructive but, as usual, I take no responsibility for you wandering from the path and breaking something. You will need an unlocked bootloader, instructions here, and your warranty will most definitely be invalidated after this. The original instructions were in Turkish, so many thanks to the original poster, and to Google Translate for at least making it understandable.

So I take it we're all sure what we're doing with adb, fastboot etc? This is serious stuff so if you don't think you're up to it, don't try it until you are. I'm just posting the method for rooting, the other stuff can be easily found. Plus it helps you understand the system of searching.

So when you're ready, connect your phone to your pc by USB cable, ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and off we go:

Step 1 - Visit https://dl.twrp.me/h815/ and download twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img to your sdk/platform-tools folder. Rename it to "twrp.img". Copy this file to either the root of your internal memory or external sd card.

Step 2 - download SU zip from here https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and rename it to "su.zip". Copy it to either the root of your phone's internal memory or sd card

Step 3 - switch to your sdk/platform-tools folder, shift and right-click on a white space and select "Open command window here"

Step 4 - type "adb reboot bootloader" [ENTER] then type "fastboot boot twrp.img" [ENTER]

TWRP will now run in memory

Step 5 - As TWRP isn't actually installed, you'll need to swipe the switch at the bottom to allow it to modify your phone

Step 6 - Tap Install and select su.zip. Select "Zip signature verification".

Step 7 - Swipe the switch at the bottom to flash the zip.

Step 8 - It would be a good idea at this point to also flash the TWRP. go back to the install screen. As it is an img file and not a zip you want to flash, tap the "Install Image" button at the bottom right, choose the twrp.img file you copied to the phone, and swipe to flash.

When complete, tap the Reboot button, choose Recovery and your phone should now boot into TWRP. Now choose to reboot to System and allow your phone to restart (it may take a while longer than normal and may reboot , mine did once).

And that's your phone rooted. Install Root Checker from the Play Store and run it to confirm your phone has been rooted.

But why? Why wouldn't you just install TWRP seeing as you've unlocked the bootloader, might as well make your life easier in the long run...

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

copy twrp.img to internal storage

in twrp -> install -> images -> twrp.img -> select recovery and swipe to install

Can't install TWRP via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img doesn't work properly, have to flash the twrp.img inside TWRP itself).

already unlocked my bootloader...

thanks...
[G4 General] bender_007:
Since you have unlocked bootloader anything will work

you can simply boot the twrp (like the op shows) and flash supersu

or rather -> copy twrp img to the internal, boot twrp (look op) and flash the twrp img (tap first the zip/img checkbox) --it will ask where to flash -> select recovery, don´t tap boot...

Then you might also flash the supersu

and now you have twrp and root
