What do I have - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the noob question but, I just traded for a Nexus 6. It is a non branded unlocked 64 gig model.
This is a screen shot from the phone. It's not rooted. Is this the normal build? I want to root it but most of the info is for Lollipop.
Thanks for your help....

That is the Android M test build. When you boot the phone up, the first screen that says Google, is there a padlock symbol at the bottom? Obviously, the previous owner unlocked and installed this test build.

To root, the process is the same for all nexus 6. Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, flash superSU zip from TWRP.

or you can flash twrp, then flash a custom kernel and the supersu zip within twrp recovery and youll boot up with root

Cool....thanks guys!!

I think I Broked It :(

Hi All.
I dropped Clockwork on My Streak so that I could Root it and Disable the 3G Service.
It then Downloaded the package LG7-820W_513_20588_00 and tried to install it.
On reboot it returned the Following.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I take it I have to return to the default recovery PROM?
So the question…
How?
Do I just download the recovery.img from the Wiki here, install that in the same way as I installed clockwork and then apply the patch?
Or Do I do that and download the LG7-820W_514_21700_00.pkg as well and apply that?
If I do So will it just update my system or reimage it needing all of the software and settings re-applied?
Yes download the stock recovery and flash it in fastboot. Also you could try flashing an older cmw like 5..... All may not be lost. Just retrace your tracks
See if you can boot into your Rom before you flash New roms

O.K. Got the LG7-820W_514_21700_00.pkg and associated recovery.img in place, and it is saying it will erase the data if I apply it, This seems strange as I am emulating the automatic update aren’t I?
If you have the stock recovery installed , put the rom on the root of your internal sdcard. Then go into recovery and I believe it is option2

You can't flash .pkg files from CWR, it only does zip files.

Anyway to factory reset note 3 via computer?

Hey everyone. My friends note 3 screen broke. He can't see anything when turning it on. Instead of getting it fixed he just wants to sell it. The issue is he can't factory reset and erase his data since he can't see anything. Is there anyway to revert to factory any other way?

Samsung has software called kies. You can select firmware upgrade and it will wipe the entire phone.
How do I download it for computer?

Once you open it at the top you will see "tools". Click "firmware upgrade" and continue.
Try Ctrl+alt+delete

Seriously though... I had this problem with an s3. The trick I did was boot another note 3 into stock recovery and follow suit with the broken one. Then using the working one as a guide use the volume and power buttons as navigation and copy button presses on the broken screen one as you're doing it on the working one until you have successfully reset the thing

RAM full - 0Mb free. Please help.

I didn't have this problem on stock 4.3, but since I unlock my bootloader and now using Doomlord's Advance Stock kernel, reflash my ROM, RAM keeps building up after sometimes of using the phone, play some games.
Is it a kernel problem or somethings else?
This is what I got when trying to take a screenshot, it was about 5.4Mb free right before (I did clear all apps running in the recent task)

but it just more confuse me...
many talks about soft bricks
and 4.4.4
no talking about 4.4.2 that this is my situation now
You would have to flash all the files in succession. Download a file, rename to update.zip, place on phone sd card, flash via recovery. Download the next and repeat the steps. They must be flashed in a certain order though.

i had to ask...
I have a AT&T sm g920a currently on (CPG1) but i don't live in US so i use a different network provider ....i guess (DPJ1) in the newer one... will this update cause my phone to go back to locked state (or something like that)... ???....i'm asking this because when upgraded from BOI2 to CPG1 i experienced horrific network service....Thanks in advance....:good:
Work great
Thanks,
Recommended this to elder brother, flashed it on his S6 (ATT 920A - v5.1.1) without any issues and so far he says phone is pretty smooth.
