Nexus 6 broken root

Trying to root my Nexus 6 with Marshmallow

I installed the modified boot from Chainfire using fastboot, it succeeded, then restarted bootloader, then installed TWRP 2.8.7.1, it succeeded, then booted to TWRP and installed the 2.52 beta of SuperSU and restarted and the phone is saying the 'device is corrupted', gives me some crap URL (g.co/ABH) and doesn't start, is there any way to fix this?

Any way to load bootloader with broken Vol-?

Hello guys. I got bootlop on my TF300TG (i think it's because i made some wrong wipes from TWRP) and now i can't do anything with the tablet. There is a broken Vol- button, i've get to bootloader from Anrdoid with "quick reload" app. Is there a way to load bootloader with broken button?
Tablet always shows splashscreen so adb is unavailable.

How to resurrect a broken TWRP Installation

Most of using Kit Kat Roms on our Picos thank thewisenerd for aw3som3 and its successor awesom3. Also we know that it requires specially patched versions of TWRP to function. Sometimes you may try to flash a non awesom3 ROM on the awesom3 based recovery which, in my case, sends TWRP into a boot loop (Ironic, considering we use recoveries to get OUT of bootloops). This got so extreme that my Pico stayed dead for nearly a MONTH, which completely stalled development on my PAC ROM port.

Now as they say, when you're a hardcore Android nerd, you don't wait for things to go right, you make them right. I managed to flash Philz 5 and get a working SlimBean on it. Flashing twrp killed both the recovery AND the ROM. Hmmm, interesting....

I then hit upon an idea which fortunately worked. It is :


Flash the kernel before the recovery.




That's it ! All that blabber gets down to this. Take the boot.img outta your ROM zip, flash it in fastboot then the recovery, and come over and thank me here before TWRP opens up in all its glory.

Broken S4 clean ESN perfect condition S4 bad ESN. Can I make one working phone?

I bought an S4 with a bad ESN from someone a while back and now my S4 is damaged. Where is the IMEI stored on a phone? Can I switch a part to give the bad phone my IMEI?

Convert a broken Galaxy S4 to media center?

Since I still owe over 0 on my Galaxy S4 with destroyed display and digitizer, but can operate it via the USB port with Vysor, I'm wondering if there's a way to convert it into a media center device to connect to an HDMI port on a TV? I've seen MHL+power and OTG+power cables, but is there a way to have MHL+OTG+power together?

If it's not possible to do all three together through the USB port, relying on Bluetooth for mouse and keyboard input, it will need a way to completely disable attempting to contact the cellphone network while leaving WiFi and Bluetooth enabled.

encrypted andriod phone with a broken screen

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I have the phone encrypted and accidentally broke the screen. The screen is black and when I reboot the phone I can't see the keyboard to type in the encrypted password to unlock phone and boot it.
I need to find a way to retrieve my data on my computer, in other words to get the phone recognized by the computer.
Screen replacement - Will restore the phone to factory mode "Samsung Policy" Which is ridiculous.
Kies/Smart Switch won't work, phone needs to be rebooted with a password to have USB recognized on computer.

Any advice?

Galaxy S4 (i9505) Motherboard Broken? Very special case.

Hi guys, i'm having big issues with my phone.

I was on imperium lollipop Rom, everything went fine, and i began to have call issues (bad reception quality), so i decided to update my modem & bootloader to the last lollipop ones. Then i installed a S6 port rom (by albe95), and my phone became crazy.
I have random reboots, shutdowns, sometimes i can pass through the simcode and i use the phone normally, and then it restarts like infinite times, i have to remove the battery. I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, system like 50 times, i flashed another roms, the problem still exists. Sometimes i can't even get through the boot, it just shuts down.
I even tried to downgrade to a kitkat firmware, and return to imperium rom still the same problem encountered.
I really don't know the problem, i can access download and recovery menus, i can flash with odin, but can't get the phone to work normally.

Has anyone had the same problem? I'm starting to think that the motherboard is bricked, but why is it so random?

Thanks for your responses.

Best regards.

Note 4 broken by electrical surge?

Hi, after me and my brother took our Note 4's EUROPEAN MODEL N910F to pakistan the note 4 kept switching itself off. When we got back to the UK the note 4 still kept switching itself off. They were both under warranty and 'GeekSquad' from Carphone Warehouse are certified by Samsung and after repairing it they said they replaced the screen???? But I can't seem to imagine that the screen caused the Note 4's to keep switching themselves off randomly.

I know that in pakistan it is DC - Direct Current whereas in the UK AC - Alternating Current is used. Also in pakistan we left our phones in the socket charging and when the electricity went and the generator was turned on, the phones were still plugged into the wall charger. Could this have caused an electrical surge and broke something inside the phone?? My note 4 was just about 6 months old and my brothers was 9 months old.

MTP/PTP broken?

Hi!
I've recently rooted & unlocked my LG OG and everything seemed to be working flawlessly, BUT...
I can't connect my phone to the PC. I mean it does connect for a few minutes in MTP or PTP mode, but then it simply 'disappears' in the Windows Explorer - it appears as a multimedia device, but I can't access storage (blank page instead of an internal storage - see the pic below).
Do you know what could be the problem and how could I fix it?

Some info about the phone:
LG Optimus G
running Kitkat 4.4.2, official (by LG) v20c
Kernel: SolidKernel 1.95, stock 4.4
root done by StumpRoot
Bootloader and Recovery unlocked by FreeGee
Superuser apps (maybe one of them is the source of my problems?):
Trickster mod
Kernel Adiutor
ROM Manager
Xposed installer
Busybox on the rails
Cleanmaster + CM Security
Greenify

Power button is broken, now what?

The power button on my tablet is broken. I was having problems with the tablet, while fixing one thing, I managed to screw up the power button..the metal disc covering where the contact is, fell off. I was able to use a pair of metal tweezers to get the screen to turn on, but then the tablet died and to get it started, obviously you have to be able to hold down on the button to get it to power on, and nothing seems to be working. I guess the tweezer only cause a short jolt to make the screen come on. I emailed Samsung about getting a replacement or something, but they won't answer now that I said I don't want to ship the tablet to Samsung. What options do I have other than taking it to a repair shop?

No FusedLocation.apk or NetworkLocation.apk on /system/apps folder - Broken GPS

Hi!

I own a Caska CA380-XLA with Android 4.4.2.. This ROM made by Caska came missing FusedLocation.apk is /system/apps folder. My unit cannot get right time or right location (time syncs with GPS). I couldn't find a way to root it.

How can I reinstall the missing services to system folder without rooting? I've downloaded FusedLocation.apk from the internet and installed it to the unit, but when testing with FusedLocation API Test it returns no location at all.

Thanks.

Mi3 w/ CM12.1 Official ** GPS broken **

I updated my Mi3 to official CM12.1 and everything works except for GPS. Google Maps / Waze can't detect any GPS satellites.

I've tried setting the Location from High Accuracy to Device Only and back High Accuracy without any luck.

Previous on MIUI 6, GPS was fine.

Did I miss something somewhere?:confused:

Broken L90 D415

Ok, so my friend was trying to use the partition tool to get more data but it screwed him over and now all he can get into is download mode, doesn't even have stock recovery now. So when you try to flash any version of the kdc(10c, 10e, 10d) it just stops at 49% on the phone screen.

Any way to make the flash tool to work or possibly get fastboot somehow?

SM-710 Multi-user mode broken?

I recently retired my son's Galaxy Tab 2 (7") for a new SM-710 (updated OTA to 5.1.1). The old Tab 2 (running CM12) was setup in multi-user mode with him as a restricted user. It worked great - I could limit his access on an app by app basis, his data didn't cross-over into my data, he could log into services with his own account etc etc.

So I had intended to setup his new SM-710 the same way - me as the primary user, him as a restricted user. One HUGE problem - the Samsung (TouchWiz) version of Lollipop seems to be missing a critical menu item that is present on stock Lollipop devices. I can't find the "add users from lockscreen" option in the USER settings. On stock devices there is a menu button (top right) where this option is located. It is usually defaulted to unchecked, however on the Samsung version, the device behaves as if the option is checked, and yet there is no menu item to uncheck. This results in both the "GUEST" and "ADD USER" items appearing in the multi-user lockscreen menu when the device is locked. This is a problem for a multitude of reasons. My son could simply create a new user from the lockscreen and use that account to bypass all the restrictions I have placed on his account. Moreover, anyone else could do the same thing, making it impossible to secure the device.

I have tried a few fixes that I found here and elsewhere. All of them required me to root the device, none of them worked (build.prop edits, sql db edits etc). Happy to describe in detail what I tried, but didn't want to make the post any longer that it had to be). Has no one else noticed this problem/error/bug? Am I missing something obvious?

Any help / insight would be appreciated.

Advanced Calling Broken

I have many contacts with phone numbers that include commas (a comma makes the dialer wait one second), some of which are meant for entry of calling card account numbers while calling overseas, etc. When I turn on Advanced Calling, for every phone number which has a comma, the first comma and everything after it are ignored by the dialer. Someone suggested I use a "p" instead of the comma, but it turns out the phone does not allow me to enter a "p" in the phone number field for a contact.

This makes Advanced calling useless for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
