Yes you'll have to flash that rom file using the twrp recovery, custom roms cannot be flashed using fastboot mode or stock recovery, also download the gapps from here.And the rom i mentioned is having inbuilt root access and it will replace your current stock rom completely so you don't have to worry about uninstalling any app as this rom will replace everything.Just download that rom's zip file save it to your phone's memory then boot into twrp recovery & to flash that rom from there first swipe to allow modifications the very first time you boot into twrp recovery as i'm assuming you haven't booted into that recovery yet afterwards go to that wipe tab in that recovery and choose advanced wipe and tick dalvik, cache, data, system & then swipe to wipe afterwards go back & hit that install tab choose your zip don't check anything just swipe on confirm to flash & your rom will be flashed afterwards also flash the gapps after flashing the rom & after all of that is completed hit on reboot system & you'll be good to go!

And yeah don't be sorry we're all here to help each other it's all in the learning curve, welcome to xda :)

Edit: Also if you are rooted with the main kingroot method just remember this that you won't be able to boot into twrp recovery using that fastboot mode/bootloader screen what you can do is search for an app in playstore that allows you to reboot to recovery, some what like this app.Just install this app grant it root access & then reboot to recovery from there this way you'll able to enter the TWRP recovery easily without having the need to update your bootloader or something.
[G 2014 General] BlurStreak:
The gapps could possibly be issue here try using the mini gapps package from that link & do that rom flashing procedure from the twrp once again or if possible try without the gapps to see whether it boots or not.Also you could try without the sim inserted on the first boot after the flashing procedure has been done.The mini gapps package should do the trick anyways.Enter twrp once again wipe the data then flash the rom & mini gapps package once again, try without the sim and it should work.Also do remember that when you are not flashing other rom just go to wipe & swipe on wipe to factory reset do not ever advanced wipe if you are not planning on flashing any other rom as this will result in a bootloop & you won't be able to get to the twrp recovery if you advanced wipe the device and then boot it.
[G 2014 General] ajithmc:
Hello brother, i have used the kingroot method to root. Root was successfull. But after rooting i tried to install twrp using flashing. But after rebooting it showed some error saying no changes where made. Now is there any other way to flash a recovery and installing SuperSU without using a pc.
[G 2014 General] BlurStreak:
Try the official TWRP app to flash the recovery, just grant it root access select your device from the drop down list, download the image & flash it.

Hi man !

I have the same problem as someone in page 2 and 3.

I tried to root my Moto G 2014 XT1068 6.0, so I unlocked the bootloader (no problem)

Then I flashed the custom recovery TWRP 3.0.2 (no problem)

Then I tried to install SuperSU (2.46 I think).

And now im stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked" message.

I can access to the fastboot (48.87 , not 48.86) mode and the recovery mode.

What should I do ? Thanks :D
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
When you've flashed the twrp recovery (btw why don't you use the last one?) boot into bootloader again and from there to recovery. That should make twrp stick to your device. If you boot directly to system the twrp will be overwritten by the stock recovery.
[G 2014 General] lemonfalls:
Hi thanks for the reply, but actually TWRP is working fine. :good:

My issue is that im stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked" :rolleyes:
[G 2014 General] lemonfalls:
Ok im trying

Edit : Thanks man my phone is booting :D

Edit 2 : It seems to be stuck on bootloop, it's been soon 10 minutes :(

Edit 3 : YEEEES it booted nevermind ! Time to root now :)
[G 2014 General] BlurStreak:
Try to do a clean flash of the rom once again wipe everything excluding internal storage & sd card, install the rom once again & it should be good.I am also rocking the same cosmic os along with the gapps i mentioned, no issues so far.This time after flashing both the rom & the gapps wipe the device e.g., after successfully flashing both the zips go to wipe & just swipe to do a factory reset do not do an advanced wipe.
[G 2014 General] BlurStreak:
That is kind of strange the ROM has an inbuilt SuperSU, anyways you could try flashing the zip provided.
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
Maybe it's not activated in settings?
[G 2014 General] hjacked:
thank you!
[G 2014 General] ajithmc:
Did the same. The official twrp file showed "flashed successfully". Bt wen i tried to boot into recovery it fails. Shows error as follows:

"hab check failed for recovery.

Failed to verify hab recovery image.

Failed to validate recovery image.

Boot up failed."

I tried with 2 older twrp versions and latest one shown by official twrp app with same result. Pls help.
[G 2014 General] r_diaz13:
Thanks for the guide. I can say that only going this route works for some reason. I tried flashing other versions of Super SU and was getting a bootloop all the time. Luckily I had a fresh backup of a clean restore to go factory system. Highly recommended always.

[G 2014 General] neeraj121y:
On 6.0 I tried to root with kingroot but I bricked it, so I am not going root.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
Hello,

there is a limitation in my region to download Android Auto. However I've tested it on old phone w/ CM + download from www . apkmirror . com and it works as charm.

Now the question is - I want to install it on my personal Nexus 6, where I'm very cautious what I put and what permissions I give.

Tried to search the net, looks like the site is trusted because of the comminity behind it but still what are my options to ensure myself APK is what Google provided?

When downloading it there is a fingerprint :

"Safe to Download

This APK is signed by Google Inc. and upgrades your existing app.

Fingerprint: 9C:A9:1F:9E:70:4D:63:0E:F6:7A:23:F5:2B:F1:57:7A:92:B9:CA:5D

The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way."

But I'm not sure this fingerprint is Google's, nor that it's really signed with it.

Any help is welcome :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immiMIK:
If the signature is not same the app won't upgrade your old version and will install as a new app.

So if your updates successfully after installing the Apk then rest assured that the signature are same.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Actually, if the signatures don't match, the update won't install at all.

APKMirror is legit. If I recall, they're owned by the same people who own Android Police.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
Thanks guys!

The issue is the following with the flow :

1. You can't find it in Play Store when the APK is not installed (Android Auto)

2. I've tried to install one version below lastest from apk mirror and then if I search for Android Auto in Play Store I can see "not supported in your region/country". Not showing that upgrade is available.

3. From p.1 and p.2 I can't reasure myself that APK is trusted :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
http://www.apkmirror.com/faq/

apkmirror is trusted as other users have mentioned and they have a good track record. If you don't trust sideloading apks, unroot your phone, take off your custom ROM, flash a stock factory image and never mess with your device again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
Thanks all,

I will use them.

Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immiMIK:
What I meant that it won't install as update and install totally as new application.

OP you can trust apkmirror. Yes it's owned by Android Police.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're installing an app for the first time, it will install so long as the signature is valid. An update to that app will successfully install so long as the package name and signatures match. If the package names are different, e.g. com.android.dialer and com.google.android.dialer, the second app will install alongside the first. If the package names are the same but the signatures are different, e.g. ES File Explorer versus my modified version, the update will not install.

That's how I understand things. Has something changed that I don't know about? I'm not understanding your statement, as it contradicts what I know about Android packaging and signatures.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immiMIK:
Nah what you said is correct. That's what i wanted to covey.

hi guys my screen has randomly started to flicker out of nowhere. The flickering looks like the screen is rapidly adjusting brightness. The odd thing is that the screen only flickers when it is displaying the colour white, with other colours it appears to not flicker. There is no sign of flickering in twrp or when the phone is booting up. Any idea on whether this is software related or something to do with the screen itself.

Many thanks :)

Had someone similar problems ?

[XDA Assist] CephEsaul:
I bought a used Note 4, SM-N910T by T-Mobile. The person who sold it to me gave it to me factory reset, fully unlocked, & without root. I checked for TWRP anyways, turning off the phone & entering the keys to boot into recovery. 'Recovery booting' it says. It loads with Note 4 Provided by Android screen & gets stuck. I remove the battery & reboot. So from the beginning I have no default recovery.

After confirming it was indeed unrooted, I download Odin to my PC & the TWRP img for my phone. Using 7Zip I convert the TWRP img to tar & upload it through Odin w/ my phone in download mode. After Start TWRP integrates successfully going green in Odin. No software installs on my phone. It simply reboots & feels like a weightless victory. It didn't take & it was hard to turn off to try entering recovery. I yank the battery, button mash, & it again is stuck on the recovery booting screen. ANOTHER BATTERY PULL. Except now when my phone comes to my touch screen calibration is off. The first two bottom inches of screen aren't interactive. I have to guess press every icon I want to select approx. two inches higher & one to to the left of my target which isn't a perfect model on the whole screen. In certain places it's more unpredictable. Very frustrating to accomplish anything. It took a long time to figure out there's a command to recalibrate the touch screen. In your dialer type *#2663#. It should immediately execute a new program after entering the last character. Update the thouch screen firmware by selecting 'TSP FW update (General)'. I also update the touchscreen itself using the second option as an extra measure. This was next to improbable blindly picking at the number pad. It failed. It failed in Drupe dialer. So let me clarify this command must be carried out in the stock dialer. It took me even longer to find out that the stylus will accurately navigate the phone despite an off kilter touch screen.

This time I try CF Auto Root with Odin. The tar is loaded & ready to go. Hit start. It's goood. No red pirate launches & no software launches. It goes to the booting recovery screen. Battery pull, restart, BOOTING RECOVERY. ****! It's stuck in bootloop. I think I soft bricked my phone. I pull, restart, same thing. So I try download mode & install TWRP again. It works. The calibration is back to crazy. Stylus, dial, recalibrate.

That's about it. I've tried older versions of Odin & TWRP in every combination. Only the latest of both don't completely fail. The only thing I can gather is that given the pattern of 'trying' to enter recovery strangely causes my touch screen to be off, it's apparent that the software isn't matching the phone. It says it's a SM-N910T, but it must be a variant e.g. N910TC (or whatever). But to me it's like, why didn't it have a default recovery mode either? I factory reset it again in between the first TWRP flash and experimenting with older versions so it's on there. I know this phone has a custom binary & a fabricated IMEI. Thanks for listening!

It is about unlocking with the official BL unlock (LG-Website).

The only way is to dig into what xVANKO said.

Analyze the partitions before & after, modify them, pray and restore.

If someone would try it I would be happy because we haven't heard anything from him for a long time

and he also has the idea to relock/unlock the devices in exactly this way.

[G4 General] Mess35:
Hi !

Thank you very much for this guide, I'm waiting for this since I upgraded to stock MM, which has caused me to lose root on my G4 :(

However I couldn't do the step 3 because I don't find the partition images created during step 2.

Where are they supposed to be found ?

In the root of the internal memory, when I plug the phone in my computer or via en explorer app like Solid Explorer ?

My guess is the dd commands that create the partition files failed and the images were not created.

The first time I used the command to create drm.img, it seems that it takes forever (20~30mn+) so I'm forced to Ctrl + C.

When I execute the command again, I get the # prompt in like 2 seconds. The following dd commands last 2 seconds also.

But when I reboot the phone, I don't see any img files on my internal memory.

I tried to redo the Step 2 after rebooting, but the commands still lasts 2 seconds.

What did I miss ?

How long the dd commands are supposed to take ?

Is there some sort of requirements to succeed ?

I have of course a H815, 20i image flashed by OTA, I never messed with the bootloader, have 11 GB of free memory on Internal Memory.

My internal memory is also encrypted.

Thank you very much

Hello,

I have the same problem, i'm stuck on the 2nd step since 2 hours.

After LGUP restart to "COM4" i disconnect the phone and try to dump partitions but nothing special. Every command his finish in 1sec. The phone reboot when i'm at the "LEAVE" command and restart on a new install of my firmware ! Lost all my app (but already get a backup before)

I don't find any backup in the files manager, there is nothing.

For the moment i'm like you, at the same step... Hope to find a way to resolve the problem :(
[G4 General] Minto107:
No reason to wait. If you will like to relock, just get back on MM(not sure if LG will change the partitions on nougat so for now better to get back) and if you wish, upgrade to nougat again ;)
