Looking at unrooting my device so I can do OTA updates via the phone and then I'll just reroot again but during the unroot process it says

Attempt to restore stock boot image? This is require for OTA's to succeed. If you manually decrypted your device, note that this might prevent my device from booting.

How do I know if I manually decrypted it? I used depixel8 to unlock bootloader and used SuperSU to root so am I safe to proceed or should I not attempt to restore a stock boot image?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You did not decrypt it. That isn't currently doable.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
Doing what you said now :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:

I wouldn't unroot with that, doesn't work all the time just flash the newest firmware and you will be unrooted. You are going to have a bad time if you do.

mk so another question..

https://twrp.me/faq/officialota.html

twrp says NOT to flash ota with twrp? so should I flash back to a stock recovery or just use twrp? if so how? lol

https://developers.google.com/android/ota

The google site explains what to do but I'm assuming it's explaining things as if I had a stock recovery and I don't..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
lol... I know this isn't that hard and I'm just being paranoid cause I don't wanna brick my phone etc. but also it's like ALLLL this work just so I can flash new android update to my phone... and this whole thing seems to be taking longer than it really needs to.

Hit the link below, it explains it well and you will see it worked for others.

If you ever bootloop don't freak, its an unlocked google phone. Flashing back to stock is easy.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wyrdtrtle:
The only thing that was in question was the bootloader unlock, once its unlocked your safe. It wont relock unless you lock it. But, if you do lock it, its locked for good. Afaika
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I flashed OTA with twrp on my buddy's pixel for the Feb update worked just fine. Just make sure it's the OTA and not the factory image. But the best way would be using fastboot
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wyrdtrtle:
Most anything you flash (stock updates, custom roms, will overwrite recovery. But not a problem, you just re-boot it to flash it, or just boot it and flash su and reboot device.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
awesome :), thanks again everyone for your time and the help, very much greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
it seems like there are 2 ways to update the pixel.

flash the factory image after editing the batch script to remove the -w option to keep data.

sideload the ota

is there a method that's better or is this like a coke vs. pepsi thing? is the benefit of the sideloading the ota because the file size is smaller?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Coke vs Pepsi. I prefer the -w method, makes me feel like I am starting cleaner but deep down I doubt my own logic ln that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
thanks. i'm leaning towards the -w method as for the same reasons as you. although i have no basis for it, it seems like taking otas is like taking patches on top of patches, which feels tenuous. but the factory image could be the original rom with all the otas pre-applied, which would give the same end result. the only way to know for sure is to compare the file structure of the factory image to a rom with all the otas applied.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
Upon learning all of this stuff myself I thought about doing the -w method but i really dint wanna deal with wiping the whole os an installing a new one etc.. its not much but its an extra step I didnt have to do.. i just sideloaded with twrp then ran the sideload cmd in adb an it worked the 1st time.

just like in any IT job tho... backups, backups, backups lol. i had one on my phone, my 16GB flash and threw one on my PC as well just cause incase anything went wrong. I also back up different parts individually IE system & data.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
i wholeheartedly agree with you about backups.

to clarify, calling the method of flashing the factory image the -w method is a bit misleading, since it means the opposite. it means editing the flash-all script to remove that option from the fastboot command that flashes the update. leaving the -w option in the script wipes data.

i haven't tried the sideload method, but it seems like both methods involve the same amount of work. both methods require a pc and booting into either the bootloader or recovery before flashing. coke vs. pepsi.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
I'll agree with ya as well they're both the same :D. 1 does have 1 less step tho the whole removing the -w part lol.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcharette:
So today was time for me to wipe clean and install a factory image like I've always done (bootloader unlocked fyi). I go through the usual fastboot flash procedures. Get into the OS, login, start the play store updates. I let my phone sit and 20 minutes later I try to wake it to check the status... NOTHING. Screen has been black since. I've tried charging it, getting into the bootloader mode. I even tried using XiaoMiFlash and QFIL to get things back on track. I have the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in my device manager. I can hear the phone connecting and disconnecting when I hold the power button.

QFIL has been complaining about Sahara failing but when it does gets past that it fails at the Firehose stage where it tries to upload files to the device.

I'm pretty pissed that a legit factory image from Google would cause that. My device has never suffered from any soft or hard bricks before. Never exhibited battery drain issues either. But today after a flash it goes flat out dead.

Has anyone ever had any luck unbricking a 6P through XiaoMiFlash or QFIL?

It's now possible to install MHA-AL00C00B203, an EMUI 5.1 early beta. For more information, see here:

Mod edit: links removed

I would like to have this thread for people who have installed it to discuss new findings in EMUI 5.1

For me so far, I've found that the battery seems to drain less, but that might be subjective.

I've noticed a definite improvement in touch response time, and time to open/switch between apps.

I haven't noticed any new features, otherwise, but they might be there somewhere.

The installation requires a lot of work which can be quite a pain, but it does seem to be stable, as I haven't had any crashing or anything so far.

Anyway, if you're running it, what do you think? How's performance for you? How's battery life? Did you find any new features? Let us know.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] ironbesterer:
First of all, the rom had it's OWN recovery? That is a rom that should not be flashed. It looks like the rom or recovery completely wiped the partitions on your phone. Have you tried getting into download mode?

Your mistake was factory resetting the phone on a custom rom. Don't EVER factory reset unless it is a STOCK based rom and you're doing it through the phones settings or you are doing it through recovery to flash a new rom.

Maybe try using Google's Android SDK? Maybe there is an issue with Minimal ADB.

I'm just trying to list some options.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] -=MoRpH=-:
Download the stock Firmware for your device, extract the files in your adb/fastboot folder.

Download that file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B134drJ4-Ed0MHQ5aE1wUmp5eFk

and place it in your adb/fastboot folder. Run the batch fail and wait for complete. If that don't work, your partition table is broken.

I have a Blueant Q3 and a JETech H0786. Both support A2DP and let me play my podcasts through them. But when I push the main button on the Q3, it won't start and stop my phone application. But the JETech does do this. Also, wired headsets with a button do this as well.

My question is what feature in the spec sheet should I look for to make sure a new headset I buy will support starting and stopping the app? I find this feature really important and am frustrated the Q3 doesn't do this.

By the way, I am using an Android phone. Thanks!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdcspurs:
Has anybody encountered issues streaming Netflix in 4k in their Fire Tv box 2? I can get Amazon series / shoes. And youtube to stream in 4k. As well as streaming netflix in 4k to my tv from my Xbox and the smart app on the tv. For some reason though it won't stream in 4k fro, the Fire tv box 2. I am running the latest rooted firmware and have ran the last 2 or 3 rooted roms in order of release as well. It appears very close to 4k when streaming but there are noticeable tracers and issues with fast movement that don't occur on the Netflix app in 4k via the other devices. With all said above, that rules out the tv, hdmi cable, port on the tv and even the Netflix app because I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Just curious as to what I'm missing.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DivinityCycle:
I haven't been following the Android scene lately, and have been thinking about upgrading to Nougat. I'm running an unlocked bootloaded, TWRP, and a "debloatded + root" ROM based off stock (can't remember which one). When I say "best ROM", to me that's the least problematic ROM. I'd like to have a ROM where the power management doesn't go crazy and force me to reboot in order to not have it auto-kill NPR One every day. I'm aware of the CyanogenMod / LineageOS shakeup, but I'm not clear on if there's a build for the Axon 7, and the state of things. It seems like about enough time has passed to where there would be a few Nougat ROMs out there where all the basic functionality is working (GPS, BlueTooth, etc), but I'm not sure what the good options are.

People running Nougat, do you have any suggestions for ROMs you're using / loving? In the past I've been quite happy with CM-based ROMs, but I'm not adverse to stock or stock-based setups provided they are less buggy than the stock Marshmallow ROM. I prefer to have a rooted device so I can use an adblocking solution if possible.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bornlivedie:
Well, if you have an A2017U or G, it's best to stick with Marshmallow. B15 (Nougat for the A2017U) is buggy and slow. A2017G doesn't have an official Nougat version for now, so in order to have Nougat you have to flash B15.

If you have chinese model, there's 7.1.1 which works better but some users are experiencing problems with the Google Play Store.

I don't recommend AOSP roms at all, they have many issues like:

Camera (currently it crashes when recording videos and the quality is subpar)

Bluetooth (many incompatibilities with some devices)

Sound (no dolby atmos and only one channel is working so speakers are mono)

Fingerprint sensor is very buggy on some devices

Animations are not as smooth

Sometimes the device will unlock to a black screen or an unresponsive desktop

Can't remember more, but there's more

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
Hey All,

When I bought my N6 in September, it was already enrolled in the Preview program. I got 7.0 immediately after release... but I have yet to receive any of the security patches.

I know, I can find the factory images and such and flash, but this is the first device in 14+ years (going back to the Toshiba e800) that I haven't tinkered with... yet. Google is supposed to keep OTA'ing them for another year or two, is my understanding

So, just wondering, anyone else still stuck on 10/16 security patch?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Umm no. The nexus 6 is EOL. The only thing you ma get is security patches but as you can see those are not always available. If you want to stay up to date you will need to flash the image.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
I know that. And that is what I said. I know I can flash the images... I'm asking if anyone else is still stuck on the Oct patch through the OTA system. Google supposedly promises them for another year past EOL.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I know a few people that have never even gotten a single OTA the entire time they have owned the device. Yet they are not worried about it. Most of the security updates are a joke really.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
I mean absolutely no offense, but your answers aren't very helpful. Perhaps some people could care less about the OTAs, but I do- and I'm sure that I am far from the only one. As to their efficacy, I'd rather have an official security patch than not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Then by all means flash the update. OTA have always been touchy. I have been sitting right next to someone else when they got an OTA to the same device and I never saw it.

That is why we here at XDA long ago gave up on OTA and advise people to do it for themselves if they have the ability (nexus users).

No offense taken at all. Been around to long to take offense to things posted on the interwebs

You're correct. You bought the wrong version. There is no GSM or WCDMA support for this phone and no way to enable it. The only reason it gets data is because this phone and your carrier support LTE band 4.

You have the XT1609 and need the XT1607 or another model that's sold in/for Argentina. If you were to get the XT1607, you would get 2G and 3G GSM support, but you still wouldn't get LTE band 28. Looks like you need the XT1601 for full band support. See: http://willmyphonework.net/
