All those android exploits whe keep hearing about, but rooting the remix mini or making a custom rom for it is like mission impossible.

wonderful.

I've been dreaming of flashing a port of Android TV to my Mini. Now even Jide has abandoned the box forever. sad
[Remix Mini General] Vioner:
Rooting Mini is very easy, but you need to invest few bucks.

No chance for a proper custom ROM unless there are some open source ROMs/drivers for this SoC.

You mean the UART method?

Its too advanced for me, besides i doubt if i could get to buy such things in my country.

any other method that doesn't require opening the box or soldering anything, i'm ok with. i do root my phones and i've never had to do so much stress just to

I've bought a USB -> UART cable for 50 cents, some connector pins for 5 cents and that's all I needed. It took me 10mins to take the mini apart, make the connection with the pins and the cable, get the uart terminal app and send the commands.

I assure you, there are UART USB cables all over the world.

It's actually even simpler and faster than rooting Android phones from 2010. These were hard to root.

do i have to strip the other ends to connect it to the board?
[Remix Mini General] Vioner:
It'll do just fine.

I didn't need to strip the other end of the cable because I bought connector pins and I pushed them in the pinholes of the mini.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Android 6.0.1, build number MOB30H

I have a brand new nexus 5 that I want to root. Using ota, I accepted the system updates to 6.0.1 with the Android security patch of May 1, 2016. (not sure if that was a good idea or not but it's done now....). Now I want to root it with a twrp recovery.

Like most run of the mill users I've only rooted a device 2-3 times in my life, so my memory is rusty on how exactly to do it. I searched this forum and found many threads about this or that rooting problem which just confused me further. I know I need to unlock the bootloader and then flash a twrp recovery but I am not sure of the exact sequence of steps.

1. When I connect the nexus 5 to my windows pc using adb, it appears in Windows but the nexus 5 folder is empty. I have developer options available and usb debugging is on but I can't find where the mtp switch is.

2. Adb.

I have adb installed in Windows. The command "adb devices" returns the nexus 5 number unauthorized.

Don't know what "unauthorized" means or what to do about it.

I've done nothing further because I don't want to mess things up. Please help me resolve questions 1 and 2. Then, I presume I need to

A. unlock the bootloader

Fastboot command?

B. What's next?

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Two things, have you enabled developer options. Go to settings, about phone and tap build number 7 times. In developer options you can change USB configuration and you'll also need to enable OEM unlock. Then unlock and root your device per the guide in the general section.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevica Smederevac:
Just to add,not to confuse him even more, there is no Oem unlock option for Nexus 5;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You need to connect the phone in fastboot mode, run the command "fastboot oem unlock:, accept the agreement using the volume and power buttons, reboot into fastboot mode, flash twrp, copy the latest version of supersu.zip to the phone's internal memory, and flash supersu.zip from twrp.

You can install TWRP and root without using ADB commands.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Yes I already had developer options working and also usb debug on.

Discovered that mtp is a problem in marshmallow. I finally got file transfer working.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Thank you very much. That is very helpful.

I didn't know you could "install TWRP and root without using ADB commands". How do you do that?

BTW, I updated the new nexus 5 to marshmallow inadvertently. When I root I'll probably use a 5.1.1 image. Good idea?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yep, my bad. Sorry about that. My 5 crapped out and have the 5x now. Amazing how fast you forget things, lol.

Download and flash twrp in fastboot mode: https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.0.2-0-hammerhead.img.html

Download supersu.zip and save it to the phone's internal memory: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

Boot the phone into fasboot mode, open a command prompt, type fastboot devices and press enter. If the device is recognized, you'll see the device's serial number. Unlock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem unlock" and use the volume/power button to accept the agreement and unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone's data and cache.

To install TWRP, boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect it to the computer, open a command prompt, and type "fastboot flash recovery name-of-TWRP-file,img" and press enter. After flashing, immediately boot into recovery using the power and volume buttons, and then flash supersu.zip.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Thank you so much audit13. I really appreciate your help.

One question if I may. Reading on the web about rooting the nexus 5 running marshmallow I came across a couple of sites that said I should download and flash "ElementalX kernel and SuperSU 2.52" in addition to supersu.

I've never had to install a separate kernel when I rooted in the past. I notice you don't add flashing a kernel either. Can I ignore flashing a special kernel?

Thank you so very much for your clear instructions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Some root methods require a rootable kernel. The latest supersu should root mm.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Thank you. Ran into a problem. That's why people like me are afraid of rooting.

Bootloader is now unlocked. Thanks.

With the N5 in fastboot mode, I connected it again with the laptop.

From the laptop command prompt I ussued "fastboot devices" and it found the phone.

Problem:

1. Fastboot flash recovery.img

(I had renamed the twrp 3.0.2 img file to recovery. Img)

Result:

unknown partition 'recovery.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for' recovery.img'

Tried by downloading a fresh copy and using its original filename.

Same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Found my error. I forgot the word recovery.

I now flashed twrp successfully!

When I went to flash supersu I discovered that the supersu I had downloaded was no longer in download folder. Guess it got wiped. So I rebooted into system and will download it again. Hope that does not mess up things.

Edit:

All went well. Re-downloaded SuperSU, installed fine and I'm home free.

Thank you all, especially audit13. This is a nerve-wracking process for people who only do it rarely. Glad it is over. The rest is easy!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
I spoke too soon. I believe I now have a boot loop? What I have is that the horizontal turning balls of marshmallow go around forever and never finish booting.

How do I exit from this?

So close, but not there!

Edit

I rebooted into twrp, deleted cache, davlik. Still in bootloop.

Deleted data. Still in bootloop.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Thank you again. Will do.

I think I know what went wrong. After I flashed twrp the phone rebooted into system before I could stop it and I think I interrupted it somewhere to return to twrp to flash Supersu. Anyway, glad I didn't brick it. Thanks again for being there.

It's morning now and after a good night's sleep I'm less rattled. Will get breakfast and start again.

I'm going out with my wife for breakfast.

I haven't followed the marshmallow threads but I recall reading about lingering problems with marshmallow. I also like to use xprivacy and gravitybox. So I'm thinking of flashing the latest 5.1.1 instead of 6. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I like both ROMs but my battery life seems a bit better on MM. I'm sticking with unrooted stock ROMs on all of my phones for now.

Being a "flashaholic" is tiring!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
audit13, I know you know this but it was so simple to do (once you know how.....!). It took me the whole of 20 minutes, if that, to download the files, flash 5.1.1, flash twrp and install SuperSU. Makes you wonder why I had so much trouble before!

Well when you don't know the command syntax (forget to write which partition to flash to) and are frozen with fear that you will brick the phone, it is a scary process. Once I knew how, I breezed through it. Problem is that by the next time I need to do this, I will have forgotten how or will worry that the process has changed. ;)

I just want to thank you more than I can say for helping and hanging in while I made my mistakes. I wish there was a way I could thank you with more than words. You were great!

P.S. This time I used the beta SuperSU. Don't know if it made any difference.

Like I said in the title, I rooted my device with Kingroot and then replaced with with SuperSU via SuperSU-me.

When I opened SuperSU it told me it needed to update binaries(?), after I allowed it, it said I should restart the device. I did that and now it's stuck in bootloop.

Tried reseting it to factory settings with recovery mode but it's not helping.

Phone was on stock LG Lollipop if that makes any difference

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodyBack:
Here is a link to the right page: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/D855/D855+TOTs/

You will need to download the right file for your region and gigabyte amount.

You'll be able to identify the one you need by looking at the file names. (As an example, if you live in Europe you would download "LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-32G.zip").

You will also need to download the .dll from the bottom of the list.

I hope this helps. :D

By that do you mean you've disabled the NVIDIA GPU via the BIOS? If that's true then it shouldn't have any problem booting. Anyway, try adding "nouveau.modeset=0" (without quotes) onto the end of the menu.lst file in the RemixOS folder via Windows.

"Good day!

No details of how to get a repair, that's it! Not the best customer service. I've replied enquiring about service centres, costs etc. and will update the post when I get more info. There are a few posts asking for similar details re. Screen replacement so the info will be useful for the community.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] andy radical:
actually it's strange to think that a screen can brake by itself , can you post some pictures?

elephone customer care have already proved it's lower quality service . i don't know where you live but best solution imho is to give the phone to a local cinese phone repair shoop , here in my city there are a couple that repair - fix phones for low money and they also provide spareparts that arrive very quick and at low price thanks to it's black market channel, try to search one
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] blairpoodle:
I agree it's very unusual that the screen would break in this way, but I'm really very careful with all my devices and this has never happened before.

If Elephone say that this cannot happen then I'm not going to quibble, I'm more interested in repairing the phone. Sending it back to the seller for repair will be an interesting, long and probably prohibitively expensive process, but I'll make enquiries.

In other news Elephone are still working on a new ROM for the device, I took the opportunity to ask supplementary questions in my email :laugh: so the chatter on the forums about the 19/04 build being the last one can abate for a while.

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Banathe:
I had a similar small crack appear on mine which had not been dropped I assumed it had been knocked whilst in my pocket, But then today i put my phone in my pocket to drive and collect the kids when i got to the school i had 3 additional cracks I assume its something to do with the size of the screen and it not flexing.

The new cracks now make it pretty tough to use the phone as they are affecting the touch functions, once i can unlock it i will take some photos to post.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] blairpoodle:
Thank you. I'd almost convinced myself that I must have knocked the phone.

Events have taken a new turn. The left hand side of the screen now creaks and pops when you press on it. If I press sufficiently hard enough it stops creaking and popping, almost as if it is correctly seated again only to literally and audibly pop out again 5 minutes later.

I will post a video later, and will be contacting elephone with evidence that there is a design flaw with the device. I'll keep this forum updated on my progress.

Mine also has a minor crack on the screen, it's in a case and has not been dropped. There is no damage to the frame at all, I'm guessing it's from being in my pocket. The phone obviously isn't as strong as mainstream manufacturers. My crack is very faint in the top right corner and you really have to look at it in a certain light to see it.

If it gets worse, I'll buy a new phone (One Plus 3) and not look at this device again
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] YorkshiresSnipper:
