Over the years I have had loads of android phones and never had any problems rooting, installing custom roms and backups.
Ive recently bought a nexus 6P and this is one of the most problematic phones when it comes to restoring a backup. On first setup I used a backup PIN along with my fingerprint. Whenever I install a custom rom, then revert back to my rooted stock backup, I have to put in my PIN, it boots fine then goes to the lock screen. I input my fingerprint then Im asked for my PIN. Then I get the Wrong Pin message even though ive used it countless times. I then have to connect it to my PC and do a full unroot. Whats going on??

Try and do this. The instructions after "IF YOU GET LOCKED OUT OF YOUR DEVICE".

As this member mentioned. The fix is easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/psa-twrp-backups-lockscreen-security-t3245070

i think we should have a Q and A or a problems section to make it clearer for people where to put there questions and help threads. almost all the other phones have these and it would be great because it would remove some of the clutter of questions posted in our Dev Section.
So Very True ...

I think people should start out on the Android Central Fascinate forums because it seems very "new user" friendly.
Also, almost any problem anyone has had has been coverd and reading and becoming familiar with the tools to solve the issues is key.
With a few files saved to your computer you can almost always recover from screwing around with your phone as we all enjoy doing.
Get:
Drivers for your computer
ODIN
The full Dl01.tar.md5
With these you should be able to get back to stock and start the game again.
I would like to see an ADB Tutorial though. Tried using it but still failed.
Adyrn had a adb guide he made you would have find but still some people have more complicated problems then go back to stock that require steps and dev help

Ahh the Q & A section, i really do not watch that one.
Still worthwhile repost...
2 month ago when I Updated to BNL2 lollipop (full wipe and stock rom) my GPS did not work anymore! the location was working only by wifi or data not GPS!!
after that, last week I tried to Update to the BOB7 lollipop and still the same problem!
every other things working great but the GPS does not find any satellite!
I tried wiping many times, flashing modem and bootloader files, installing Stock and Ktoonses kernels , installing 4 different custom roms and still same problem!
any idea what should I do?!
Hi, I have the same problem. Have u managed to get it sorted?

And what option now
Has anyone come up with a work around to make android pay work? It was working fine by disabling su then the application. But something has changed that doesn't work anymore. I even tinkered with xposed and rootcloak but that isn't working either. I know it has nothing to do with the rom version because I've reverted to the stock image of this build a couple times and pay works. If anyone has any advise that doesn't mean staying unrooted it would be much appreciated

I read an article recently, and if I find it I will post it, but it said that android pay can detect all root methods now and will disable itself.

Found it. http://www.howtogeek.com/241012/saf...y-and-other-apps-dont-work-on-rooted-devices/
Thanks for the info but just saying that's bogus. I can see if your a businessman and got a corporate account. But us regular users that enjoy tinkering with our devices they should allow us to sign a waiver to make it work.

Hi guys,
I have a fresh S7 SM-G930V(Android 6.0.1). Which i logged in via google and it downloaded all my previous apps on my old phone(i assume it automatically does)
I was following https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039.
And now my keyboard is now starting to look weird

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I completed all the steps and rooted to the following image "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR (any Samsung Galaxy S7) (MD5 hash 948A01ECCF280828DFD13AC366F6FE85)"
and used Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy.zip as opposed to the other odin.
Any ideas besides using another keyboard app?
EDIT: Just flashed back to G930VVRU4API3, which i thought was my stock rom but has a purpleish first time start up which i thought should be blueish?
Going to try and re-flash a root after work again.
UPDATE2: I Follow the rooting/xposed steps again and now i got my normal keyboard back. The difference is that the verizon startup is white/red while when i first ever used the phone it was a blueish/purple verizon start up. But i feel that it was definitely 6.0.1 with PI3.
Accessing the phone via cable seems extremely slow but thats for another thread...
I am now rooted with a working keyboard, now time to work on the other issues....
