This is by no means a guarantee that I will be able to fix it (or won't just get angry and give up).
[G2 General] casual_kikoo:
Well, this is a pretty ""ambiguous"" as Aroma is still uses for some ROMs, like [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION]'s one, or stock based ROMs. But has many flashed ROMs are CM based, no need of AROMA. So yeah it's old.... But sometimes we still "need" it :highfive: .
[G2 General] Jan Philipp:
I don't like Aroma, but as long as some people are building installers with it we are forced to use it from time to time.
[G2 General] EvilKing009:
Almost every rom using aroma installer in it, but it is somehow useful for customizing phone in our own way.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNemo7539:
Hi all!

I need to restore phone back to latest stock. Problem is that it is stuck on Verizon logo screen.

This is my old phone that I gave to my daughter while back. It was rooted and was asking for update. Because I thought it will be easy to unroot, I simple went into SU and tried to uninstall from there. Little did i know how it will end up.

I've looked around and cannot find latest stock that is ODIN flushable.

Could someone be so kind and point to download location?

Another question is how to restore system status. OTA fails because of this, i guess. Currently bootloader shows it as custom. I guess because root. I'm I right? Would flushing stock allow to get updates again?

Sorry for lame questions. It was long time ago and I totally forgot what was on that phone. Recovery shows BOK3. So, this stock will be OK too.

Any suggestions how to return it back to life will be appreciated! If possible preserving data. But I do not care about root, bootloader etc. I only want it to be latest and greatest because kid has no clue what is safe or not, so I want it be patched and secure as much as possible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoticyeshua:
Hello,

You can find an Odin flashable tar file at the bottom of the OP here. This will restore it to stock PB1. No root or anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNemo7539:
Thanks for quick reply! However it is not exactly stock, correct me if I'm wrong. The idea was to get stock, so all updates in the future will be OTA.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ranomez:
Hi everyone,

So I have a really really strange issue with my phone lately and that is: I get a lot of graphical corruption and random app crashes (any app, including system apps like the Samsung or Google ones), I did in the past do some overclocking but that was way more than 6 months ago and this issue just popped up about 1 month ago and my battery life is now also really short and the phone can show 40% and shut down or show 20% and shut down and then when I plug it in I get the battery charger indicator with 50%+ battery left.

Now here's an even weirder thing: that is not specific to any ROM and happens on more than one, any TW 5.1.1 ROM I try and even on CM13.

I do use multi-boot but I did test the ROMs even without a multiboot environment and those things still happen.

So I was thinking that it might be that my battery is dead (although apps say it's healthy) as I've seen phones doing that when the battery is close to dead but since I can't really purchase a new battery in my country I would like to ask if someone has an opinion on this?

Could this be a hardware defect or something broken in my "hidden" Samsung-specific partitions or is it just the battery, has anyone else encountered this?

I really would like to know how big of a chance it is that my phone is somewhat of a brick before wasting a lot of money to buy a new battery from an other country.

As you can see most of the photos I took have either missing letters or strangely colored letters but that's because that's the graphical glitches I get most, the worse ones have big parts or even half of the screen totally black, UI elements extended awkwardly with gray outlines, strange colors on-screen and missing whole UI elements.

Sorry for the potato quality....took the photos with my Redmi Note 2 with CM12.1 instead of MIUI7 cause I am too sleepy to wait for it to reboot into the other ROM (and I think I wiped the whole cache+dalvik on my last CM update so the boot would take a long time since it would need to do the whole optimization for MIUI7 as well).

Also a photo of Settings crashing, all I did was just open it, saw the settings list and after a second crash.

NOTE: I am on a 100% clean install right now (wiped EVERYTHING including internal storage) and I barely even managed to get past the setup wizard since it kept crashing.

Thanks for any help/opinions/ideas.

How can I get it
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ranomez:
New battery and did a full odin reflash (with SEA pit file), even updated to 6.0, bugs still here but way less frequent, crashes not here anymore after update to 6.0 but still here before even with a 5.1.1 reflash and clean install, seems like the phone is as good as gone, will try to send it to warranty to see what happens but don't expect much since "Knox Warranty Void=1".

Lesson learned: if such bugs start popping up for any of you guys even if the battery is not in a good state you'd end up better just buying a new phone since your note 4 is quite surely done and gone.
[Verizon LG G3] Nate Wrigley:
I'm sorry if I'm asking questions that have been answered here, but I am new to rooting and am suffering from information overload. I get confused about references to stock Android and whether this means the stock Verizon version or the untouched Android that Nexus devices get.

I'm using this phone through Tracfone and thus do not receive OTA updates. This also makes all of the Verizon bloat all the more useless. I'm not looking for a special ROM, I just want vanilla Android that will receive new updates over wifi.

Is this possible?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi. Stock means what LG/Verizon put on our phone. I understand the confusion, though, and I used to be confused about it too. It's best to call "pure" or "purer" Android AOSP, or from what I've read there isn't any true full AOSP that's user compiled any more - they're all more or less based on CyanogenMod, so "AOSP" or "CM", but CM is more realistic. AOSP is what Nexus has, although of course, it can be called stock too since in that case they're one in the same unless you're running a user-compiled AOSP in which case if it were me I would call it something else to distinguish it from the stock AOSP on Nexus.

CyanogenMod-based ROMs will be the closest you'll get. CM13 for Marshmallow. I don't know if CM gets OTAs, I think sometimes in the past they have, at least once a version of CM has gone "final" (not sure if CM13 has gone final). Some ROMs that are based on CM have OTAs too.

I can't speak as to how well these work. I used to use CM-based ROMs more on other phones but for me, stock works so much more reliably/predictably and overall smoother than AOSP/CM. AOSP/CM and International-based stock ROMs always seem to have some unreliableness factor.

If you want a debloated but reliable ROM based on stock (which would receive OTAs if there ever are any more, but it's doubtful there will be), use [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's stock 47A (Marshmallow) firmware along with either my debloat zips or the debloat generator made by another user, which I link to in the third post of the 47A firmware thread in the Development section. The debloat zips/generator are also linked to in my signature below.

Overall, personally, I consider [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 ROM, based on 35B (5.1.1) the best ROM, but I'm currently using the stock 47A firmware with complete debloating and am satisfied with it.

I use Xposed and G3TweaksBox to get some features on stock ROMs that I consider a must.

The easiest way to flash the ROM I mentioned is (if you're not rooted yet), first tell us what version of the stock ROM you're on. If it's anything but 23C or 24B, the absolute easiest way to root and put custom recovery on is by downgrading to 10B using the TOT method and the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ. Links to the TOT and DLL in [MENTION=4795150]annoyingduck[/MENTION] 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section, also the first link in my signature below.

Directions and the links to the program to flash TOTs, you'll have to Google for.

In the future, please ask all questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] Nate Wrigley:
Thanks for the response. I am definitely most interested in reliability. After reading your post, I think I might just stick with the stock Verizon image and wait for the upgrade tool to release Marshmallow.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Or if I didn't say it before, you can flash the 47A KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014, preferably with the CSE option which will wipe all data including internal storage, so use the built in LG Backup and also move what you want to keep from your internal storage.

Will this sucker be bootloader unlocked like the T-Mobile ones I see in the xda articles? I wish to buy a bootloader unlocked one so I may root it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] :
It's only carrier unlocked, not bootloader
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Knowbody42:
If it just says "unlocked", that usually means carrier unlocked in 99% of cases.

Also, none of them are bootloader unlocked by default.

There are some models that can be bootloader unlocked (H850 EU, and I think one other model), but they aren't bootloader unlocked when you get them.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Pphish20:
From the looks of that page that is the unbranded RS-988 lg g5 unlocked US variant.

And it more than likely will not have obtainable bootloader unlock in near future.

For now the only variant with easily available boot loader unlock and root/twrp, is the unbranded EU H-850

If u were willing to spend that much on the device, just order from clove in the UK great 2 day shipping to the west coast for me. Let me knew if u need link.

T-Mobile h830 has been shown to have root,but I don't believe it its widely available yet.

If u plan to use on gsm network,go with EU H-850
[OnePlus X General] koen12333:
I just wanted to share with you this link I found lately where you can download official stock OxygenOS ROM's for your OPX.

http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/

Here you can download any OxygenOS rom OnePlus provided back to 2.1.4.

To flash such a ROM on your device (e.g. after testing CM or just flashing TWRP) do this:

1. download it and put the .zip on your internal sd-card / storage

2. go to your current recovery (by powering off and holding Volume Down and Power buttons untill the display comes to life)

3. in your current recovery choose "install zip", navigate to this .zip and install it

4. after a reboot you have the downloaded ROM on your phone, and the recovery included with it. So also the recovery is replaced.

Succes!

Hi,

Any suggestion how I can scroll down or set a permanent US server?

The great thing is I can set which app I want to access VPN.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
You probably just need a USB mouse or Mouse app to use it.

Best option over all is to use your remote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforfiretv

Let us know how the new PIA app works on FTV's. And which FTV it is (1st or 2nd Gen or FTVS) ? I am also guessing it's a new Android PIA app right ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic_singh:
It works...

I keep connecting and disconnecting until it connected to the States. It always chose the faster ping.

I'm from Canada and was able to long into Pandora.

The app updated on my phone then I extracted the file and side load in Fire TV2 not rooted with latest firmware.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petesky:
I already tried that on my aftv 1 , before trying openvpn,

it reports that its working through the app, but if you check

your ip on the firetv you'll find that in actual fact it

doesnt change at all
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I am guessing your FTV Gen 1 is still on FireOS 3 ? Seems FireOS 5 is better with VPN's then FireOS 3. Or are you running unRooted on latest FW ?

You can check if the IP is being hidden correctly by opening ES File Explorer & adding a link to Favorites:

https://dnsleaktest.com/

I just tried it (Not the PIA app but just doing a DNSLeakTest) on my FTV1 on FireOS 3. It showed my current IP & I was even able to do an Extended test. Let us know if you can confirm the changed on IP @ different times & if the app ever times out with time of inactivity.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic_singh:
I only did per app... And test with Pandora and it recognized US address. For Canadian it app will not load.

I will test more later.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I only tested that DNSLeakTest could be loaded on ES File Explorer. I am still waiting for a PreRooted ROM to upgrade to FireOS 5. Thought about Un-Rooting & upgrading & then re-Rooting but all my FTV1's have fully unlocked bootloaders & I did not want to loose that. So I haven't even tried the PIA app since I know FireOS 3 is much worst with VPN's. Hopefully [MENTION=3450952]vic_singh[/MENTION] would be able to test things later or maybe someone else.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic_singh:
I'm must at work and will test after the basketball game tonight....
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vic_singh:
My IP address needs to be change before I can run Pandora or for Disney Junior to give me a activation code.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
True, So it is working. How long do u usually listen non stop to Pandora on it. Was wondering if it times out after certain time.

What we actually need is for someone to test it on a FTV1 on FW 5 Rooted & UnRooted.

Hi,

I have a Nexus 6 with a shattered screen, and just bought another one to replace it (exact same model, XT1103 32GB).

I want to make a Nandroid dump of the old device by booting into TWRP temporarily, then restoring the backup to the new phone using the same method. Both phones are bootloader unlocked and totally stock (latest Android update).

Is there anything in particular that I should watch out for? Which partitions should I not touch - a friend on another forum suggested that I should not touch EFS?

Cheers,

What partitions should I backup/restore? I guess just System, Data, Cache, Boot & Recovery should be enough?

[edit] This seems to suggest just System, Data and Boot is ok - but is that all I need if I am restoring to another device?

The restore to the new device worked fine, but when I power up I get the "your device is corrupt screen" (which I think is normal if you use TWRP), but then after that it's just a blank screen...

The phone is still able to boot into bootloader and recovery (stock).

Any ideas what could have gone wrong please?

Thanks,

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
If your firs N6 was encrpted (default) there's no way to clone it. Android will generate different encryption keys etc.

Secure lockscreen is a big no-no too. With it, you can't even properly restore backup on the same device!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Trying to take the lazy way out is just asking for trouble. There are many things that can go wrong.

Also just a side note. Cloning devices is illegal, even if you own both devices. The was set by the cell phone cloning laws set up by the FCC.

Your best bet is just to reset it up from scratch.

I'm remembering what I did and I did not restore the Nandroid from Device A to Device B, I titanium Backup'd all the apps and moved them to TitaniumBackup folder on the new phone, restored from there.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I believe Google requires encryption to be active in all devices with Android 6.0.1 installed, so any new device you purchase will have this (non-) issue.

Think of the alternative however. You could always be dealing with Samsung and Knox.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
I believe that is correct. All Nexus devices going forward will have the kernel force encryption. The only way around it is to format data in TWRP (completely wipe the phone) and then when you re setup your ROM (or even the stock image) just make sure you flash a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption (which pretty much all custom kernels don't) before booting into OS for the first time. I run mine unencrypted because nandroid backups are wayyyyy quicker without encryption. I know the security isn't as good but not a deal breaker for me.
