[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veralynn:
Hey guys, i have been a member here for quite some years, and have flashed a lot of phones in my days but i just bought a nvidia shield 32gb LTE first edition tablet and when i got it it seemed quite fast but then i went and factory reset it and as soon as i load it up with apps it gets so slow.

Its even slower than my 100usd chinese pipo tablet.

I have tried several factory resets, tried enable gpu on screen and ram killer apps but still its slow.

Tried installing 128gb memory card wich are fast and tried that as main memory but still no luck.

Also es file explorer really kills it.

Never had any problem with es on any phone before but now it just kills it performance so i had to get a different file explorer.

But, i have now given up on this original nougat rom.

Its time to flash.

But i dont really play games, i have a shield tv so this is my bedroom look at streaming media tablet so i dont need a controller to work with it so thats not an issue..

Its bone stock original, what rom would you recommend and i prefer one thats not rooted as i dont need it and i do have an app that i can stream live tv and it dont wanna work on rooted devices.

But if its rooted and thats the way it needs to be im also ok with loosing that live stream tv app especially since now the tablet feels unusable.

Please a quick tutorial and a good rom suggestion and i will be so happy. Thank you!!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veralynn:
well, dead forum isnt it?

I put on TWRP and then i flashed it trying several of the ROMS here but the one who worked the best With LTE and no other stupid isuues was the LINEAGE rom..

Its very good.

I tried the Stock rom here, but a lot of problem With that, i tried several others mentioned on the romboard but most of them didnt include LTE so there goes that..

I find it annoying the Lineage is rooted or unsecured kernel as then my tvprovider dont like my tablet so i canty use their app.

But im guessing its better having a quick and snappy tablet vs one that lags beats my live streaming every day..

The error comes up when the bootloader is locked. Is your bootloader unlocked?

If it's unlocked follow the guide by fireball0093 on getting to stock firmware and recovery,.

i have done a month research and found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRa97F14RKE&app=desktop

it's not in english thou u could make use of the links in the description not the video. even i had the same preflash validation failed error with an bootloader version 81.12 with bootloader status 0 on my xt1602. just flash it like u flash a stock rom. the reason for our error is we still didn't have the proper stock nougat 7.1 rom for our device. roms available in the internet are not working but this one works. be sure not to downgrade your'e phone and take an ota coz. the bootloader can't be downgraded and when it installs an older ota boom phone is bricked. make sure u flash some blank flash files of harpia before doing this. first u need to soft brick ur device from hard brick that have occured
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] JIaroJIy4:
my issue with xt1602 appears to be incorrect (I can't really properly comment on this) blankflash - I get stuck with 0x69 CID and phone suggests using verizon tools (while the phone is just RETIN originally). At this rate I can't re-hardbrick the phone into Qualcomm loader (qloader for "qboot" tool to work) so I can't even flash stock rom provided in Your, [MENTION=8174115]keerthi perumal[/MENTION], link. So I am currently at a real loss here with non functioning device. My only hope is that someone actually helps to re-hardbrick device - No combination of fastboot commands (and different versions of adb&fastboot) to boot into "edl" (fastboot reboot edl) worked for the thus far.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] rr999999:
Hello,

I was always a Samsung fanboy, but than I decided to buy the P9 lite (VNS-L21 single sim)

I wanted to flash the android 7 update for my phone, but I was such a noob in Huawei, that I didn't understand a word. But i tried to do what the instructions said. Now my phone is bricked. I can go to recovery, erecovery (which can't download anyithing) and download mode. I heard of this fastboot stuff as well, but I don't know how to do this. I tried to flash as many roms as I could with dload and it didn't work, after 5%, it said it failed... Now I don't know what to do. I think somebody (expert) should make a clear tutorial for noobs. Oh and I almost forgot that i don't have root, custom recovery, and things like that. I just bought the phone, I didn't want to make big changes, just new android. Is it possible that after this Huawei would fix my phone, if I couldn't? Or warranty is void? And sadly I don't know more of my phone because I'm not ina rom, and the phone and papers don't say more.

If you could help me, I would appreciate it:

Raul
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Termi92:
Turn off your phone, connect to the pc while holding the volume down button, you will end up in fastboot mode.

I assume you have ADB and drivers installed (if not, install ADB and device drivers).

Optional: unlock your bootloader if it's locked.

Download the latest offical rom zip for your phone version (the marshmallow one), extract the update.app.

Use Huawei extractor to ectract the following files (google is your friend in this one, but its not difficult):

boot.img

recovery.img

cust.img

system.img

After you've done this, connect your phone to the PC in fastboot mode .

Open a command promt from the folder where the extracted files are (shift+right click, Open Command window here), enter the following commands

fastboot devices (you will see the list of attached devices with a lot of random number + fastboot)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash cust cust.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

After all this, you should be good to go, just be sure you are using the correct rom for you version.

Or you can just serach on the forum and find this.

Heyho,

normally yes, after bootloader unlock u are able to flash via fastboot. But...

What is the error? - Have u disconnected the device from the PC during the update?

If not, try to update again and just disconnect the device from any USB connection...

Regards,

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] rr999999:
Hello. I disconnected it from everything (for example USB)When I tried to install it said something like incompatibility version, but it couldn't be because I tried many roms for my phone. And I tried some dual sim roms as well because, I thought that it might work... But then I will do that unlock if it will do good. Thanks for the help :) Without bootloader I can't flash from dload as well?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] k1ll3r8e:
Heyho,

the dload method works always without unlock bootloader. But, u can't flash for example an B161 over an B3xx (what nougat is) if the update u installed modified already the oeminfo u are not able to flash any rom below B3xx (nougat) via dload.

-

In that case u might use the official rollback package (never tested it myself) or, u unlock ur bootloader, flash a TWRP recovery matching to ur current FW. Flash from there a oeminfo + custom.bin (lower than B3xx) and flash the FW matching to the new oeminfo via dload and stock recovery.

Regards,

Sebastian
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Anonda:
If you have custom recovery, wipe everything. Data, system, boot. extract update app (which is your stock rom) with huawei update extractor. go to custom recovery, flash stock boot IMG and stock recovery IMG. Power off, use three button dload method, reboot, when booting press vol up for three second, now you are in e-recovery. Press shutdown. Press and hold power and vol up for stock recovery. Do factory reset. If need do the factory reset 2/3 times. Now you are with locked bootloader.

How are people getting sim unlocks for this phone through Tmobile? I have one purchased out right and they are requiring 40 days to get the unlock.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] ScottsoNJ:
Either wait for the 40 days or go on E-Bay and buy an unlock code. It will probably cost $30-$40
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] Velrix:
TMO uses the unlock app so you can't just buy a code. It won't work.

[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] Globespy:
At least the TMobile app allows the option to get a 30 day temporary unlock which for people who travel internationally and want to just a prepaid GSM Sim card it's a good option. They don't have to do this, do is a step in the right direction.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] uwapalwa:
search on youtube, there is a service for unlocking them without the app
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] Globespy:
Thanks.

Yes, these unlocking services have been around years.

They cost money, which isn't really needed unless you wanted to change carrier, and they would want the balance of the phone paid off anyway
[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] frostwildfire:
Hello, someone can tell me if you insert another carrier sim card the phone ask for network unlock code or just say invalid sim card, or something like that.

most tmobile and metropcs dont use unlock codes now. android devices use Device Unlock app, similar to sprint official unlock service.

I've been using Mapopolis for years. Until recently I never had a GPS device, so I only had the mappacks without GPS-support.

Recently I got the brandnew xda orbit 2 (HTC Polaris) with integrate GPS , and when I tried to upgrade my mappack I was qute surprised to learn, that mpopolis is out off business.

Luckily my mappack did not expire jet so I could download the most recent maps for western Europe.

I really love mapopolis, so does anybody know how to enable GPS-support in my maps, or where to get gps-enabled maps?

Cheers, sean
[General Topics] mikealder:
Have you actually tried configuring the GPS options within the Mapopolis application? - I don't know what port the GPS is available on the exact hardware you have so a little messing around will be required - a tip though, do not mess with the seperate GPS aplet that is part of the Windows OS, this will only serve to confuse you further - Mike
[General Topics] sean20357:
Thanx Mike,

This is more a license issue than a configuration issue, which is hard to solve, after Mapopolis is outof business.

Mapopolis has two different Mappacks, one with GPS-Support called Navigatior-Mappack, and one without, called Platinum-Mappack.

I do have one map from the Navigator-Mappack and it works great with GPS and everything.

Now I am looking fo a solution to get hold of GPS-enabled Maps for the rest of Europe, or a way to transform my Platinum-maps into Navigator-maps. They are essentially the same maps. Some byte just keeps them from using GPS.

Cheers, sean
[General Topics] Cpt_kludge:
PM Me,

I have been able to GPS enable my platinum map set.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cognitivedissonance:
First off, I just wanted to thank you guys for always being so helpful. It's really nice to have people like you to discuss things with.

I just bought a used Nexus 6P, and it seems to suffer from the battery shutoff issue once it gets below ~10%. The original owner bought directly from the Google Play store in Sept 2016, so it's still under warranty with Google, and I believe that means I should be able to RMA it.

Before I do anything, I'd like to have as much info as possible to make this go as smoothly as possible; I'm traveling out of the country at the end of May and I need a device that works pretty much flawlessly by then, so timing is a factor.

Question 1

If I make a Nandroid backup in TWRP, move it to my computer's Hard Drive, copy it onto the RMA replacement, and restore it, that would very quickly restore me to where I was with my current phone without any issues, correct?

If it matters, I'm unlocked, stock-rooted on 6.0.1 (MTC20L), stock kernel, and TWRP (v3.0.3.0 iirc.) I used Nexus Root Toolkit for all of this.

Question 2:

Besides the ones I've listed below, what common Nexus 6P issues do I need to watch for when I get my RMA device?

Device overheating

Bootlooping

Random Reboots

Powers down once battery is below __%

Microphone / call quality issues

Screen discoloration issues

Bent / broken volume buttons

Screen separating from device

Wifi / radio / bluetooth / gps issues? (not sure if this is relevant)

Question 3:

How does the RMA process actually work?

To RMA, do I just call the Nexus / Google support line, give them my IMEI, explain that I'm having the battery shutoff issue and request they send me a warranty replacement?

Are there additional steps I'll need to take because I'm not the original owner?

Do I have to send Google my phone for them to send me the replacement, or do they send me the replacement first and then I send them my current device once the replacement arrives?

What's the typical turnaround time between making the RMA request and receiving the new device?

Anything else I should know?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
I recently did and RMA for a bad screen.

1. You can do the restore, but I would only restore the data partition. No need to restore the partitions.

2. Check for screen response everywhere on the screen. In the developer option turn on "show screen touch". Make sure all points on the screen are good. My first replacement had a ¼ inch band that showed no response.

3 You can do it online. They will ask for a credit card and the will send an advance replacement with a shipping return label.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
1) You can restore boot, system, and data. I suggest manually flashing the Vendor.img. However, you must remove the lock screen security completely. Due to the security measures regarding fingerprint sensor integrity, anything related to it's functionality is not covered by a TWRP backup. Restoring a TWRP nandroid on another device will make its fingerprint sensor malfunction. Perform the steps in post #9 of the thread linked below to have a working fingerprint sensor on the replacement device after restoring a TWRP nandroid:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3307734

3) From what I've read on XDA, you need the original receipt from the Google Play transaction. So email the buyer and ask for their receipt.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewM3:
can anybody confirm that when you send your device to Google we need to lock the bootloader flash stock recovery and img?

Also when chatting with google support should i tell them i am unlocked bootloader?

can somebody link the google chat support messaging I don't want to call them by phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
You need to go completely stock including flashing stock images and lock your bootloader. Don't tell them you unlocked it, there is no need to bring up something like that if they don't ask.
