[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Hey guys! So this is a very strange issue. When I power off my nexus, a lot of times I have to wait a good 30 seconds or so before I can power it back on or go into the bootloader. If I power it off, and try to turn it back on fast, it stays black screen almost as of it's frozen or just not responding. I noticed this issue begun when I flashed the radio from N preview 2, and didn't happen before that. My question here, is what could this be? Can the radio really cause odd things like this to happen? Or is there another cause? I am running the newest Android version MOB30I, and have multirom installed with about 4 or so secondaries.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead-neM:
You flashed Npreview radio on a marshmallow build?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Yes! Yes I did. Could this be an issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no. as im using the n preview radio on marshmallow, which is the same radio that came out with the last security update.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

im going to guess, try a different kernel. as its the kernel that will boot up the device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead-neM:
Yes it can. Why did you do that?

Make a backup (android or titatium backup)

Then reflash stock n6 firmware (erase data so put your backup and important files into pc)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the N radio, is the same exact radio that google released for the may security patch. so the N radio, is the latest official radio for the nexus 6. so no, that wont be the problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
I wonder if it is. I'm using the newest Elite kernel for Marshmallow, it's always been my go to kernel. It's strange because after turning the device off, I can't turn it back on instantly, screen stays black as if it's not 100% shut down yet. I have to wait a bit before turning it back on, or entering the bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
No, it's the bootloader that boots the device.

If he's hitting the power button and unable to get to the "Google" splash screen or the bootloader, the kernel is very irrelevant.

I'd be more curious if he's trying to use the bootloader from the N-Preview 2 with MM. Even though I think it's supposed to be backwards compatible, the bootloader is the only thing that would cause that sort of issue.

*technically* I'm pretty sure that you could format /boot (where the kernel is stored) and still get to your bootloader for fastboot and such. So, the kernel is really irrelevant until after the bootloader does it's thing.

*edit*

also, there's a reason that these are known as "Developer Previews" not "End-User Previews"... If you don't know how to fix weird issues that pop up like that, you should probably avoid them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead-neM:
Mmm yes after what said simms22 I've check the n preview and the bootloader is xxx.18 instead of last mm which is xxx.17 but a bootloader downgrade is risky right?

[MENTION=5465744]H4X0R46[/MENTION] do you use the .sh file and update your bootloader and radio with n preview?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
It can be. Normally, once you upgrade, you just stick with the new one as they're backwards compatible normally. But, the ones for the Previews aren't always 100%. The whole reason these previews come out is so that developers can start making their apps compatible prior to the official release. Ideally, this is supposed to be done in emulators not necessarily real devices.

If the 30 second delay in powering back on is *that* big of a deal (to him) to risk bricking the phone by downgrading the bootloader and having something go wrong... I say go for it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Is downgrading the bootloader really risky? I've done it before without issue and never knew this was risky! Are you supposed to just stay with the newest bootloader if you already flashed it? I always flash the bootloader for the image I'm flashing, even if I'm downgrading.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
I flash each partition manually.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
It's always risky when you're messing with essentially the lowest level software on the device. For instance, lets say that something happens while you're flashing the bootloader and it corrupts. What do you use to reflash it? You can't get to fastboot anymore...

As long as you know what you're doing, don't have corrupt images, and don't lose power or have lightning strike your computer while you're doing it, you would be fine.

The issue is that many/most people on XDA these days have no idea how to recover from problems or even what problems the things that they're doing might cause. So I tend to approach every situation under the assumption that the other poster may not have a full understanding.

No offense intended of course.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Alright so that's just to be safe then? My laptop sometimes freezes solid out of the blue, uncommon but does happen, and I always thought "what if I'm flashing stuff?" Scary thought. ESPECIALLY the bootloader! So the danger you're referring to is flashing a bootloader in general, not so much downgrading? Like I said, I always match the bootloader to the version I'm running. This is okay?

EDIT: I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check the MD5 checksum for EVERYTHING before flashing. Can never be too safe ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
In general, the bootloader needs to match the highest version of android you intend to run. They're typically always backward compatible. On some phones, you can't downgrade the bootloader (at least not easily). This phone you should be fine doing so. However, there's not usually any reason to (backwards compatible afterall).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Cool! Thanks for your input on that! Much appreciated! :) Yea I'm always wary of the bootloader because like you said, it IS the lowest software on the device. Quick question, if that were to get corrupted, does the device just not boot resulting in permanent brick? Or does it boot just no fastboot access? Might be a noob question, but why not ask lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
Depends, I've never really looked into unbricking this phone. Never had to yet.

Depending on the phone you can use tools like QHUSB and similar which let you reflash partitions just through the USB connection.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I know it's late but it could also be just the rom setup. I know a while ago there were commits that shut the device screen and buttons off before it was done shutting down (to make it appear faster) this made devices seem bricked for a short period. I don't know what ever happen to those commits, so I can't say for sure that it is them. But your issue fits perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
So have I been flashing the bootloader wrong all along? I flashed in twrp a couple times but I try to flash them individually and wipe after flashing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:

[Networking] mutinyfromuk:
First Post, Hi to all.

Hardware:

I have just purchased an SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and I think it's great :) I want to use it to play music from my MP3 collection which is shared over the LAN and output the music to my new bluetooth A2DP speakers (Accoustic Energy)

Software:

The PDA is running WM5. I have installed V-mobile Software Network Browser which adds a network folder to the system and allows me to map my Computers MP3 shared folder as a network drive on the phone (This works a treat).

I am using CorePlayer as my media player as this is the best one I've found, it plays all my music and also my divx/xvid movies.

Problem:

I can play music straight over the network using coreplayer fine from the phone (WIFI & BT both turned on), but when I connect the BT speakers I get stuttering. Occasionally it seems to work fine, but most of the time the music is really broken up.

I can play music straight off the phone and send to the BT speakers and it works great, but only if WIFI is turned off.

It seems that the phone is maybe struggling to run WIFI & A2DP simultaneously, which is a little bit annoying.

Plea For Help:

Is there ANYONE who has tried to do this on ANY PDA? If there is, was it successful or are you having similar stuttering probs?

PS. I have tried the A2DP bitpool reg hacks with no luck, and even tried the 802.11g wifi hack in case it was a wifi bandwidth problem.

If Anyone can offer any suggestions or advice I would be most greatful.

//not sure if I posted this in the correct thread, it might be better suited to accessories?

[Remix OS for PC] nuplix:
Hi,

I was looking for some Android x86 OS to install on my laptop, so I came across Remix OS. I very much like it, after going through all of features. However, I found Phoenix OS too. I am just super confused now. Which OS should I install; what makes Remix OS better than Phoenix?

Thank you!

[Remix OS for PC] arts821:
What I mean is u can try install them both and see which one is most working for ur device or PC cause they have pros and cons between one and another
[Remix OS for PC] or29544:
Remix OS and Phoenix OS are just two Android distributions - both based on Android x86. So in terms of hardware support, they might be similar. Phoenix OS seems more refined and ready for market, Remix OS is still just beta and has a lot of bugs. On the other hand Remix OS has a much bigger community, help pages, forums and users - with Phoenix OS you are on your own.

All that said, there is a third option. You could simply plug your Android tablet to a keyboard/mouse/screen and forget about all the Android x86 fever. Your hardware will be fully supported, have access to an official Google Android build with all the support included and in the long term there will be less hassle. And now with Android N on the way which supports Remix OS like windows, you will never notice any difference. I myself am going this route. I will wait for Android N tablets, buy a sufficiently performing one and plug it to some peripherals - instant Android desktop, fully supported by Google. No tricks, no hacks, no unsupported hardware.

Lol... You're having a bad dream...

My out of the box E5803 had the fingerprint reader functionality even though it was the 'US' version (I think)

I followed this excellent guide here for root using the US custom ftf and it worked but I lost fingerprint scanner. http://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/summary-tutorial-root-sony-xperia-z5-t3360515

Reading other threads I noticed some people using the UK version instead (which I did) and now I have root and the fingerprint reader works again.

My radio seems to have changed however and is now '4G' instead of 'LTE'

Is there anyway to flash just the radio back to the US version?

In the end not a huge deal but I'd like to know.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Milly7:
I don't think it's a radio issue that it shows 4G instead of LTE. Just a matter of how it is displayed in the international version. Flashing a different radio may not change that. You should still be getting LTE speeds.

You might be able to get it to display LTE by editing the properties in build.prop to match US version but that may be a bit risky.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tramtrist:
If it's just the icon I don't care. When I look at available connection types in the network settings it doesnt list LTE .. only CDMA/GSM etc

If it's just the icon missing it's probably fine.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Milly7:
Here's what mines shows. I flashed customized UK version.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tramtrist:
Yep same here..

The speed is fine with the 4G icon so it's probably really LTE with the 4G icon. Cellular standby is eating a lot of battery but I do not think thats related. Maybe I'll just keep on keepin on :)

Hello,

I have the Xt1562 Indian version running 5.1.1 - which I have rooted and also have TWRP as recovery.

The OTA upgrade gets downloaded but fails. I then reverted to stock recovery but still the OTA upgrade fails.

How can I upgrade to Marshmallow on this without losing my data or apps or contacts?

Thanks,

Padam
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Ota fails since you're rooted. You can try TWRP flashable MM rom and dirty flash it without wiping /data
[X Play General] drmuruga:
Ota is possible only if you are in stock firmware and stock recovery. Fast boot flash stock firmware and get ota or directly flash updated firmware. Githup has all stock firmware files.

Never use stock update via TWRP , you may brick your device.

During giving fast boot commands , skip fast boot erase user data will not wipe data , but while doing this I have some FC s. Otherwise backup all your files , apps data and flash firmware.
