I have TWRP and Root and did a Nandroid backup.

Have you tried the flashfire app available on Google play Store it is free and it does on device flashing as long as you have supersu and BusyBox installed

I think I am just going to sell this phone as its screen started to flicker on low brightness and I could not solve that problem too. I think selling is the best thing I can do before it get worse. I am losing my trust in Samsung Galaxy devices.

I bought a nexus 4 recently on ebay and it was only 50$ with free shipping
I put a nougat aosp ROM on it and is working well

[Q] Still no 5.0

Hey there everyone!
I've a Nexus 4 (unlocked - not bought with subscription) and I'm still on Android 4.4 Kitkat..
Now I see some users here with already 5.0.1... Why is it that I dont have 5.0.0? Is it because I bought it unlocked (I thought the opposite: when you're unlocked you get the OTA faster..) or is there something wrong with pushing the OTA in the Netherlands?
Im not a telephone geekie so I dont want to root it / flash 5.0.1 on it because I'm hella-afraid my phone will be bricked then!
I hope there's something I can do to push the OTA to my phone (like clearing Google Frameworks? i read somewhere?)
greetings demaax
Listen if you're unlocked head over to Google developers and take the factory image for your device from there.. Clean flash or dirty flash it is up to you

Well I think you mean with ''unlocked'' that ive a unlocked bootloader etc?? I meant with unlocked that I didnt close a contract with a provider to buy my nexus 4 + subscription... I just bought it for €400 at mediamarkt
Dude you bought a nexus 4 for 400 euros??

Yup, when it was released in 2012 it costed about ~450€ in the Netherlands with no contract ^^. I got a cheap contract of €10/month
Mate I suggest you not to upgrade : lollipop brings a lot of bug, and latest version, 5.0.1, breaks also phone calls audio.
Stick to android 4 until it gets fixed! See

Samsung galaxy tab E 9.6 (SM-T560NU) broken by Kingroot app

Hey all, I did something stupid and tried to root my tablet using an app called kingroot so i could see about getting some apps to store stuff on the sdcard (comics purchases) instead of using the 8Gb that my tablet had free of the internal 16Gb it is supposed to have.
I received a message when I restarted the tabet:
Custom binary blocked by FAP
Secure Fail: Kernel
and the yellow triangle with exclamation point.
I just bought this tablet and I don't think the extended warranty I spent $50 for covers this.
I would like to fix the tablet back to factory settings or atleast unroot it to make it work again.
This tablet was purchased in Canada so I would need the version for the tablets sold up here. It came with Lollipop but I am not sure what version.
Can anyone help me fix my tablet?
EDIT: I am slowly downloading the canada firmware from Sammobile, I hope it is the right one... got ODIN and the usb drivers installed on my windows 10 laptop...
Edit 2: fixed. Tablet working again.
Awesome. Currently downloading stock firmware. Holy hell speeds this slow shouldn't be allowed in 2016. Anyways, I found this thread scouring Google, and figured I'd bump it just so I can add a faster download link when I finish my download. This will be for the T560NUUEU1AOH.

OEM Lock
You forgot to turn the OEM lock off in settings. I did it the first time I rooted my Tab E. CF-Auto Root used to work, but Samsung F'd most most people's rooted devices up.

Anyone know how to lose the Nook crap? After downloading and installing this firmware, my Galaxy Tab E thinks it's a Tab E NOOK... of which I am somewhat less than thrilled... if I wanted a NOOK, I'd have bought a NOOK.
and a really important advice: NEVER buy extended warranty if u plan on rooting your device.

Dude my son is with my wife. I will get her to send me a photo if possible. I have been a member of the XDA developer Community for years since the HTC Evo 4G. Trust me when I say my son's phone has the update to marshmallow it has. I did the update for him myself it has Android 6.0.1. The service provided for his phone is T-Mobile. Remember Alcatel sells this phone through AT&T Cricket line so I'm quite sure they have a real serious reason to update this model especially since it is now sold by a nationwide service provider.

You actually don't need root to install TWRP.
In order to root the Idol 3 we had to unlock the bootloader,install TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

So, to get back to stock I only have to restore one of the stock backups in this thread through TWRP. Is it that simple or am I missing something?

Cool. Can you please kindly link me to the boot loader unlock?
Also, hopefully this new 6.0.1 didn't prevent the existing bootloader method from working!
sweet now we need a TWRP backup and bam!
Here is the link for everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-alcatel-t3161878 about unlocking bootloader
Was shocked when I saw it pop up on my phone around noon.
Any possibility of you getting the ROM backed up so we can try to flash it?
Sent from my 6045Y using Tapatalk
5.5 or 4.7 version of the phone??
encrypted device, any ideas?
So the update.zip gets downloaded fine, but since my device is encrypted, it winds up unable to be seen by the automatic updater or in recovery mode as the various drives are not visible.
Any ideas (other than a factory reset) on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Boo I have cricket so I guess I have to wait

Idol 3 Update MTP issues
I updated my phone earlier today and now it won't connect to my Windows 10 computer thru the MTP option. I even with thru the Developer and selected/unselected/reselected it and my laptop still won't see it. All I see is a file with drivers. I haven't rooted, and won't, my phone. Any suggestions out there on how to fix this? BTW when updating to Android 6.0.1 it made me format my SD card, so I lost all my music but thought it wasn't a big deal since I'd upload it back to my phone, but now I can't. I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Anyone tried Cyanogenmod 14.1 by christer12 for Verizon Note 3?

Anyone tried this? I've been reading that people have been getting it to work, but haven't seen it confirmed by anyone in this community. CM 14.1 is Nougat/Android 7, and supposedly, the christer12 build is compatible with VZW Note 3 devices. Tempted to try it, but looking for feedback first.
cool

How did you get it to install? I tried flashing it in TWRP and it failed, saying something to the effect of "this rom isn't compatible with this device".

I used philz recovery.
*First flash this philz for note 3 hlte
*After that,make factory reset.
*Then install rom with gapps
*Reboot system and relax
Pls make sure you select the hlte folder not hltevzw and look for 6.48.4 version which is the latest in that folder

OMG!!! This ROM is seriously rediculous! I currently rock a Pixel XL 128GB (black) and have a Nexus 6P 128GB (graphite) and I just dug out my old Verizon galaxy note 3 since I saw you guys have a bootloader unlock for it. Two words...Holy $H17!!! I have never been so impressed with how fluid and snappy old hardware is with plain vanilla android. It seriously feels just as fast as my pixel FFS! Literally turning down the animations to .5 makes touches instantaneous.
Everything seems to work flawlessly save for text and phone calls. I was able to lock onto 4G with Verizon sim by selecting CDMA/LTE in network settings. Browsing the web and play store works on LTE, but still no text or phone calls.
Bravo to the maker of this ROM. It very much looks as though Google has truly matured Android into a world class operating system. To be able to have a new OS work this fast on old hardware is spectacular. BTW... I used TWRP to flash and Pico gapps 32bit. Thank you to all who helped with bootloader unlock, twrp, and ROM dev. Cheers!
CM14
Where's CM14 located? I am having a hard time finding it or I seem to be blind right now. I'd like to find out if it'll work on my Note 3. I switched from Verizon to Cricket. My phone is a Baseband N900VVRUEOF1 Hardware N900V.07 but because of the switch it says model SM-G935F. Currently running Darklord S7E.G935FXXU1APC8 Thanks for any help.

Late answer but in case anyone else goes looking here's the announcement thread
christer12's XDA thread
I'm also running the latest build (11/24) just fine besides a couple hiccups here and there, I don't use my note 3 for any network/lte functionality, just for music so I can't verify things like that but overall the rom is running smooth and cleanly, I had problems with Philz recovery personally but I've been on TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it's never once given me any difficulty since then.

[HELP] custom binary(RECOVERY) Blocked due to remaining installment balance

I currently have the SM-N935F/DX and I get the *on in the title, when flashing TWRP.
I made some research and I cant seem to find any answers on how to solve that.
Any help would be appreciated
Update
Setup Secure Folder and Samsung pass. Update all galaxy apps and you MIGHT be able to flash TWRP
UPDATE 1
I tried to boot on " Android Recovery " first thing I got is " Installing system update " then next is " no command " after a couple of seconds I got into android recovery.
I think the " installing system update no command " caused the " custom binary(RECOVERY) Blocked due to remaining installment balance "
Any devs out there? Or anyone who can help me figure this out?
Edit
I am not FRP locked
OEM is unlocked
same issue same varient,tried doing everything, but no luck.
please help us some genius
I found out that the ones having success on TWRP are non N935F owners, they are using " gracelte " while ours is " gracerlte " Our only chance of having TWRP are some devs who are willing to make one for us. I honeslty would like to learn how to make one but its faaaar beyond me. And my internet is sh*te, so I cant download them programs needed to make one
