I have nothing but bootloader. No system. No recovery. I've attached a screenshot. Do I have any hope?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You should be fine, because your device is unlocked. The only way you likely would have screwed yourself is if the OEM Unlocking toggle in Developer Options within Android was turned off.

EDIT: Using Fastboot you should be able to flash TWRP, which will give you your recovery. From there, flash a ROM and you should be good.

Go here DL the latest shamu factory image and follow the instructions. It will delete everything though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spastico:
Thanks guys. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll be using a Mac.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spastico:
Still struggling, but made a little progress.

I'm using a mac with terminal.

I don't know the terminal commands, but searching around the forums By doing this: ./fastboot boot twrp.img I now have twrp recovery working. But I still can't figure out how to flash.

Browsing around my nexus using twrp, it looks like I have no system partition.

Any more advice?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spastico:
Woohoo!

Reading these forums, I figured out how to sideload the rom using ./adp with twrp sideload adb.

Back up and running. :D

All of this started while I was trying to switch from SuperSU to Magisk.

I still want to move to Magisk, but I obviously need to do some more reading.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spastico:
For some reason I couldn't get the factory images to sideload. It kept saying invalid zip. So I sideloaded PureNexus.

All is good, but I just don't have a radio.

Off to do more reading.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spastico:
Got a radio and posting from my Nexus.

Thanks again guys.

./fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Great read, seeing the progress reported on like that. Thanks for updating.

If you ever want to move to the stock factory image, you don't sideload it. You'll need to run the flash-all.bat file (edit it and remove the -w flag to keep your data) or unpack it and use fastboot to flash each separate image (skip userdata and if you want to have TWRP installed to your device also recovery).

And if you have further issues with getting Magisk running, check out the Magisk guide.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
[MENTION=347109]spastico[/MENTION] [MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION]

To sideload a stock image on an N6, you have to use a full OTA image as compared to using fastboot flash (or the flashall.bat) with a Google factory image.

The instructions for each are well written right on the linked page from google.

[MENTION=347109]spastico[/MENTION], you commented that with TWRP booted, you didn't see a system partition. System is not mounted in TWRP, but you can manually mount it if you choose. As you discovered, mounting isn't necessary to flash an image.

Awesome! I keep forgetting about those full OTAs. They weren't around when I used stock factory images on my Nexus... :D

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Shonilchi:
By now, everyone should be fairly aware of the Volte issue that we have on our G5 plus. Just having the 4g connection seems so irritating.

I just wanted to know if this method would work to bring the Volte: What if we deliberately hardbrick our device (you know, just the blinking LED light on the device and no display - I have been there :)) and flash the blank albus files that worked as a solution to unbrick your device. What this would mean is that once we hardbrick the device, it would be a totally clean slate. Then, flashing the blank albus files would re-install any Volte commits as well and then the default Volte would work?

This is just a thought. Any developers/SMEs, please verify this.

I think i have solution, the "persist" backup of Moto G4, this give me 4G, but imei continue in 0. U need make a backup everything if u have 4G/Imei. Is a dangerous method, but maybe works. Idk

Persist backup in GDrive

Instrucctions:

MAKE A BACKUP MANDATORY

Download the file, unzip and copy to ur phone

Reboot in recovery

Make a backup of anything (logo or anything else)

Go to Advanced -> File Manager

Move the file to TWRP -> [SERIAL NUMBER, ej: ZY22447XXL] -> [Date ej: 2018-02-09--10-51-55]

Back to principal menu, and go to Restore

Now see "persist", select and restore

Reboot and search mobile network, select firts 2G, wait for it to connect, after select 3G and wait for it to connect, and then select 4G and wait.

If you get an error when searching for networks, just restore with the backup you made, or flash Pixel Experience 8.1.0.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] htc_mi5:
Hi all,

due to the fact my provider has now started charging me for accessing voicemails and will not include voicemail access in my inclusive minutes I have turned off the voicemail answerphone on my t-Mobile MDA Vario III (Kaiser), what i'm looking for is a programto run on the PDA that will answer a call after say 45 seconds of ringing and act like an answerphone and record any messages direct to the PDA. I have searched for answerphone but without luck and the only program I can find via Google is iSecretary, but that aparantly isn't fully compatable with the Kaiser?. Has anybody got any ideas as to anything else available that will do this job, preferably free but if I have to pay for the ideal solution so be it.

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Optimistisch_nl:
I'm afraid there is no solution, because of the limitations of the Kaiser (and many HTC devices) with the incoming sound.... (mic only)

A workaround should be available in iSecretary, recording loudspeaker -> mic, but this application crashed a lot on my Kaiser so removed it...

Also because it is not a nice solution anyway...everybody can 'enjoy' the voice message.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Optimistisch_nl:
just be prepared.... you will be disappointed...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vip3r69:
I did try iSecretary and it worked on some of the calls, about 2 out of the 10 I made to my phone. And like "Optimistisch_nl" said: the callers voice is on loudspeaker while leaving the message. Also the message that I recorded to tell people to leave a message doesn't play either for the caller.:mad:

Sorry dude, I'm also still looking for something like this and will let you know if I find a solution.

After flashing another Rom on my phone (mido), i just can't login to any google service. Its says "There was a problem communicating with google servers. Try again Later"

The first time i rebooted after installing the ROM (which in case is Ressurection Remix Final) and putted the wifi to configure the google account, i got stuck on a screen saying "checking info" FOREVER.

IDK what to do, because i can't use any google services. If someone knows the issue, i would be apreciated.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gaijin1%:
I'm creating a bounty for enabling native 2K or preferably 4K.

The resolution/dpi emulation still does nothing more than resize the xxhdpi resources (not even the xxxhdpi), so it still isn't as good quality as 2K displays on other phones.

Moreover, VR (the only real purpose for a 4K phone) is terrible. True, the screen door effect is gone, but at the cost of blurry less defined images same as a 1080p phone. Only Youtube and finally Netflix are able to use the 4K but other apps and games are unable to use the higher 2K resources and downloaded VR movies are fuzzy. Completely disappointing compared to my 2K phone. Also, with the emulated 2K or 4K, Daydream becomes tiny in the bottom center of the screen.

I believe the kernel controls the screen properties, but not sure if there was something to do with it in the ROM for this phone. While I'm sure I could figure it out with all of the easy handy guides, I don't really have time to do the research on how to do it myself. So, I'm creating this bounty.

I'll start with committing $50 to the person who releases the first stable one, but still donate to a second placer ;)

If anyone else would like to sweeten this pot please post how much you would contribute.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
I think it's a problem of native 4k apps, not the phone.

You can put it in 2,4k using adb commands, search here https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/themes/mod-change-default-resolution-to-4k-root-t3618843, but you need apps for that. I have Bobo VR Z5 and it's working perfect in 4k and in 1080p, but only without screen protector.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gaijin1%:
The adb command is just emulating 4K with the lower resolution resources as said in my top post.

This is how Daydream looks in emulated 4K https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i531VadSbzzu1Or1CMMvBYez5VFi_Mkp

I'm sure without the screen door effect you may feel you're getting 4K VR, but it actually 1080p.

For example, I take 4K 360° photos. the text on distant signs is readable on my 2K phone, but not on this XZP.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
Awesome! Hoping this will attract devs to look into this. :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] madshark2009:
so youre saying, using the cmd commands we are not getting native 4k? and the screen should look even better ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
No, you are not. The WM size commands just emulate them. I tried it on a Z3 and it worked, lol.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] madshark2009:
have you also noticed the 1080p in it is not as sharp as other 1080p phones?

ive seen it against the z5 and and some galaxy phones, its just not as crisp even on 4k mode using adb commands...

how can we fix this?

Added a screenshot to that post. Now you can see.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
It's pretty sharp. It's better in emulated 2k/4k, but good enough for 1080p. At least for me.

Also just to add, I noticed that if you use GMD Gesture Control and calibrate the screen, you'll see that the app reads the screen as 4k. (Even when on stock wm size)

$50 is laughable

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gaijin1%:
That's the point of this bounty. I asked people if the wanted to sweeten the pot and how much they'd be willing to contribute.

How much are you in for?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gaijin1%:
That app probably reads the pixel size rather than the set resolution. AIDA64 also reads as 4K the first time, but later shows 1080x1920 or whatever emulated size you set.

When doing the Daydream fix, it also changes the screen from LCD to AMOLED.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] madshark2009:
true that but even when on emulated 4k you get just as good display as 1080p, its still even not as crisp as other 1080p but cant tell difference, still with emulated 4k just to look at "enhanced" 1080p sucks!

plus you lose more battery than native 2k phones! i bought the phone because of its screen and I cant enjoy 4k at all times, or at least in the UI or any other app that I want in 4k....

im disappointed i really wish there is a fix to get native 4k...

I AM willing to throw in a 50$ as well if some one fixed this (as long as there is a root with TA backup (just in case the fix needs root to modify the kernel- I dont wanna lose DRM functions)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] gaijin1%:
Excellent, and totally agree!

Now the bounty is up to $100.

Let's get more people. We can't be the only ones disappointed that Sony sold us a 4K phone *only in 2-3 apps that is actually locked at 1080p.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] RJASSI21:
Could it be possible to just make other apps 4k by heavily editing them? Like the VR apps. If doing it system wide is too difficult then maybe editing apps might be easier.

I'm curious anyway, who can actually tell the difference between 1080p and 4k on this phone? You say 1080p looks better on other phones, so does the 4k look just as sharp as that 1080p? Also, how do we know Sony isn't just using the emulated 4k when it gets enabled? Not every photo in the album is 4k so how would it enable?

I did take a 1080p photo and a 4k photo and noticed a difference but I wasn't convinced. It didn't seem like a huge difference like it does against a TV/monitor at 4k. Especially on YouTube I cannot see the difference majorly when going from 1080p to 4k but can others? If 4k is difficult to make happen then maybe we could push 120hz at 1080p since it was said that the X series of devices have 120hz displays it's just disabled for some reason. The page needs translating but it shows 1080p at 120hz as an option. This was mentioned in a previous thread but I don't think anyone was interested in it. I think that this has a higher chance since this image exists.

Thats my thoughts about 4k on this device anyway. I think at this point 120hz might be a better option but that's just my opinion. 4k is great but it's only limited at the moment.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] madshark2009:
here is the thing, true that its very hard to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k on such small screen, so I took screenshots of before and after 4k mod and placed them together on my 24 inch monitor side by side and still can barely tell the difference even on huge screen which proves that its not 4 times better quality so its really fake 4k!! only time i can realize the difference is when i zoom in on both pictures and see that some details are washed out and more "pixel" looking at 1080p while on 4k mod still manages to show more details but then again, such difference in sharpness and detail shouldnt be so hard to notice since on my monitor I can easilyyy tell a difference between 1080p and 4k gaming on my VSR (virtual supper resolution) even virtually on my screen modded 4k has a lot more difference that stock 1080p

while even modded 4k on this device can barely show a difference, so might as well change that in a native way I really cant wait for a fix

PS: running 1080p on 1080p screen looks better than running 1080p on 4K screen (if screens are same size) - proven.

so down scaling the 4K screen of this device to 1080 will make it look worse than other native 1080p screen which buggs me, the least they could have done is add an option like samsung did to just adjust the quality as you wish... I hope they add that in the next update
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] RJASSI21:
Yes I agree 1080p on a 4k screen does look worse. On most TVs it doesn't but on my Acer predator 28" 4k monitor it is very noticeable that 1080p looks like 720p when duplicating the screen next to my 1080p monitor. The desktop does look noticeably blurrier. However, 1080p content on the 4k monitor doesn't show a huge difference so I'm not sure what that's about only playing games and the desktop look bad at 1080p. Maybe the XZ1 could have been a better option but even still know that I have the second 4k mobile device on the planet and the only 4k HDR device is still cool. It's certified to be 4k so it can't possibly be a fake 4k it has to be really 4k else Sony would be lying and with all those TV experts I don't think it wouldn't be possible for them to do real 4k on a smartphone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Mjkb:
The screen using the emulated 4k is razor sharp. By far sharper than any other phone I've used including the note 8. Are you sure your not just mistaking the overly unrealistic saturation of a amoled screen compared to a LCD one? I dont mean that in a sarcastic way, i genuinely dont see any comparison between the two. I havnt used the phone for any VR stuff though so can't comment on that
