Android cannot boot

Hi. It's my first post so sorry for all mistakes I'll do.
I had stock Android 5.1.1 installed with root. I decided to install Xposed. I did everything right but I couldn't install the package. When I rebooted my tablet I had a bootloop. I installed "uninstall" package and it booted well. I tried to install it again but still the same error, but this time "uninstall" package didn't anything. Bootloop again. I did factory reset, cache and dalvik reset but still the same problem. I tried to connect it to my PC and to install another OS (Chroma) but my PC didn't find it. Mount USB storage option in advanced in CWM does not work. Please, help me
Thanks

ADB on Android M, Dev Preview 3

Hello,

Since Dev Preview 3 i'm not able to use ADB anymore. My Device is detected, if using "ADB devices" but it's unauthorized. I tried nearly everthing on tipps around, but nothing works. I don't get any RSA Key Popup Dialog on my Nexus 6 to confirm connection. Anything new or special i need to do ? Also there's no list of keys i could revoke in developer settings anymore, i'm really lost.

Install android apps using TWRP and your smartphone!

TWRP has a built in file manager, I managed to install an apk using 3 apps and TWRP:
Requirements:
1.)Unlocked bootloader on the Wear device (This voids warranty)
2.)Obviously TWRP on Wear device
3.)A smartphone
4.)An Android Wear device
5.)Chrome on Wear
6.)Superbeam
7.)Es File Explorer on Wear

What I did is used Superbeam on my smartphone to send the apk to the wear device. To do this I disconnected my smartwatch from my smartphone and copied the ip address Superbeam created for the apk into chrome on the Wear device then allowed it to download the apk. Once it had downloaded the apk I used Es File Explorer on Wear to check if it was successful and successful it was. Then I booted the wear device into TWRP and moved/copied the apk into data/app (I used TWRP since Es File Explorer wasnt showing the directory data/app) then I chmoded the apk to 0644 and surprisingly when I rebooted it worked so im gonna try various apps using this method.

Will the Droid Turbo get Android M?

I have a Galaxy Note 2 right now, and my contract ends on the 31st of August. I would like to get a new phone then, and the Droid Turbo is looking like it will be my choice. The only thing I am worried about is, will Verizon update this to Marshmallow? I don't want to get a new phone and be stuck on an old OS. Also, is there any info on when Verizon will be releasing a new Droid? I would be willing to wait a few months if they are coming out with a Turbo 2.

LG G3 - question on GPS and full Android settings

Hi Guys!
I'm a new user of LG G3 dual LTE (D856) and so far I'm quite pleased with experience (coming from iphone 4s).
My phone is running 5.0.1 android and not rooted.
If someone has answers/solutions for following:
* On every GPS activation there is a popup coming about sending geo-data to Google. Tick "don't show anymore" is available only with option - "allow forever". "Not now" is available only for single use, i.e. next time GPS is on this popup coming annoyingly again.
I'm not a paranoiac, however why would I send to Google location of every toilet I visit? :cowboy:
How to get rid of popup with avoiding sending any geo-data to Google?
* is there internal android "settings" menu? There is LG settings and they are pretty good, but I can't find some properties seen on other android phones w/o shells?

How to manually upgrade Android Wear device via ADB sideload

Some of us have Sony SmartWatch 3 and because sometimes the update for our watch have delay, here is step by step guide to upgrade our watch with OTA zip packages. It work for every Android Wear device, but you need specific zip package. I test all steps with my own Sony SmartWatch 3. If you have any questions, just ask.

1. download OTA package (you need to find specific URL for your device)
2. download and install ADB http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
3. enable developer options on your Android Wear Device and enable USB debugging (tap more times on your software version in your device)
4. connect your device to computer and install correct drivers from Google - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
5. put your downloaded OTA ZIP into ADB folder and get it some easy name (like update.zip)
6. open command line and type adb devices, if result is some kind of number, than go for point 7. If not, you have no driver installed or no USB debuging enable
7. type adb reboot recovery
8. your device will reboot and after you see green Android, tap on display
9. go to apply update from ADB (in your device)
10. typ adb sideload update.zip (if it doesn work, now you have to install drivers once more in device manager)
11. wait until proces finished, you complete firmware update

Hi Friends,

I was extremely annoyed with Lollipop Upgrade as I didnt had enough storage space after the upgrade.. Removing system apps also didn't help. I was looking for some KitKat Roms and I found this.

This is one of the best KitKat Roms available and works amazing on my Device. (Dual Sim Version)

FYI: This is NOT MY CREATION and I would like to give 100% Credit to the Author.

Z3 D6603 Android 5.1.1

Hi All,
New to forum, have followed some guides before with my old Samsung S3.

Now have a Sony Xperia Z3 which I am delighted with...apart from an issue I encountered just today.

Basically I went to read a text, message app crashed, repeated to go view message app a few times but same result.
Decided to restart phone, booted up and checked again - all texts now gone...vanished!

Anyway I want to recover them as some messages are important to me and upcoming events.
I've read I have to root my device to attempt recovery of these texts.

I also read, months ago to be fair, rooting the Z3 also unlocked the bootloader which as a result screwed with the DRM keys and quality of the camera (which was amazing in my recent Rome trip!).


Basically I want to root my device, not break my camera quality, not loose my DRM keys and attempt recovery of missing texts (with third party windows apps most likely).

Can this be done?

Found this guide but it doesn't mention the DRM keys so I am unsure:

Any help is appreciated

[Q] Root Xperia Z1 Compact Android Lollipop (14.5.A.0.270)

Hello,

I rooted my Xperia Z1 Compact on KitKat and changed the HOSTS file to block ads.
After the update to lollipop the root acces disappeared. So it's impossible to change the HOSTS files now.
I'd like to re-root my device, but haven't found an easy solution yet.
The only option is using KingRoot, but it looks a bit shifty.

Is there another easy way to acces my hosts file and/or re-root my device?
I'm no android expert, so a very detailed tutorial or an easy app would be welcome :)

Best regards

Boot Sound on Android 4.4.2 AOSP

Hello guys,
I am posting here just for a simple topic which I couldn't get help from anywhere. It might feel stupid but I want to add boot sound on my AOSP based kitkat ROM but couldn't find any clue about it as none came stock.
So can anyone guide me to accomplish this task ?
I found a lot of places citing how to change boot sound but nowhere to add one. And other Custom Roms for my device like MIUI and Galaxy S5 ROMs had bootsound on them. So I think there is support and I just need to activate it somehow. So please friend grant my wish and teach me how to do this..
Thanks in advance.

Can't unlock bootloader - 3.1 / Android 5.1.1

Hey everyone -

The title says it all! Reading, searching, and experimenting for hours... no dice. Time to ask for help.

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my Shield Tablet, but no matter what I do, I can't install the Universal Naked Driver (which I understand to be step #1). I've tried to troubleshoot this to no avail (including turning off driver signature verification, etc.)... Windows 10 refuses to do it, complaining that "Windows was unable to install your Shield Tablet. Windows could no find driver software for your device".

I'm posting this question *here*, because it makes me wonder if something has changed in the last firmware update from Nvidia (I'm running the very latest - LMY48C.35398_567.2193)... so here's my question: has anyone out there tried to root (which requires bootloader unlock) a Shield Tablet with this firmware? If you've been successful, could you point me toward a tutorial I haven't yet read? Thank you!
