Any word on what the difference is between Taiwan firmware and any european country customization?
I doubt it's the usual case of essentially no difference, given the SGP311 has only a handful of generic firmwares compared to xperia devices with mobile radios. It's also the only non-europe firmware available (from what I've read Customized PH is grouped with europe in spite of the geography)

I got the root guide from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...how-to-root-lollipop-xperia-tablet-z-t3115107
As for languages, all languages are available. When you first start the tablet, a first start guide will run. The first screen lets you select virtually any language. Once you select it, all future prompts will be in the language you selected. Hope this helps.

I uploaded a video of the Lollipop firmware on my Xperia Tablet Z (you can add this to your OP if you want @dogsly)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQIGcX0sJI

Works great and the link to get root worked well on my 351 took all of about 10-15 minutes total :good:

I am getting random reboots in this rom and would like to go back to cm. However, since flashing this rom I cannot reboot to recovery. I've tried the hardware buttons, adb, and various applications and it always boots to system. I'd be grateful for some help.

Recovery not yet available in lollipop.

Unfortunately, by installing lollipop you loose recovery...so there's no easy way back
In a nutshell, you must go back to a kit-kat ROM, root it (e.g. install .283, then install .230 KERNEL ONLY and force towel root from flash tool. Then install 283 KERNEL back) and then install NUTs dual recovery.
More detailed instructions can be found here.

Thank you very much for your reply. I feel pretty stupid - I was very happy with CM and only wanted to try out the stock rom, never would've done so if I had realized it was not easy to go back.
Any ideas then about a possible resolution for the random reboots? Never happened on this tablet before, stock or CM. When I flashed this stock lollipop rom I did not do a full wipe, I did wipe the caches.
---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------
Well I've gone from bad to worse I used those instructions - I had used this process before to gain root - and got the the part in the procedure where flashtool reboots the device to flash 10.5.1.A.0.283.
Now the tablet cycles through the Sony Xperia screen over and over - it will not boot to system and will not go into flashmode. I can get into fastboot mode but I'm not sure what I can do to resolve this from there.
Again, any help is appreciated.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------
OK - looks like I got it - I simply flashed the twrp recovery image in fastboot mode and that did the trick - restoring my lovely cm 12 now.
All set - thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

How did you install it? Downloaded the zip file but not sure which tool I should use.
EDIT: Never mind. Flashtool has really come a long way. I used it to get the firmware and then install it. Can't ask for more than that.

has anyone tried using philz touch 6?

Hi, just wondering where did you get the twrp recovery image that you can flash in fastboot? Thanks in advance, I'm currently in bootloop as well

Root+Xposed+Adaway on Marshmallow (XT1095)

Has anyone rooted and installed xposed and adaway on the recent update for the XT1095?

I've tried. Thus far, I get crashes galore using the latest systemless root. Have not gone farther than that yet. Anyone have any success?

Adaway and Root - but don't use Systemless, it just gives me fits.
I used this: forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
worked perfectly fine! Xposed is next up

nomadism - if you have not yet flashed the brazilian kernel, but have upgraded to 6.0 and have TWRP flashed, can you capture the kernel first? Junior has said he would create a modified kernel for us using the chainfire WIP method.

I have the untouched kernel, and I can easily boot to TWRP. Can you tell me how to capture the untouched kernel? Do I simply back the kernel from TWRP - backup?

brilliant. the kernel is the boot.img partition. so you should be able to just do a normal backup (or only the boot partition). This will create a file named boot.emmc.win -> just change the filename to boot.img (make sure if you are using windows that you have unchecked the option to hide known filetype extensions (probably overkill, but in case you need to change the setting: http://www.howtohaven.com/system/show-file-extensions-in-windows-explorer.shtml). let me know when you've created it (you should zip the file, and then upload to this post as boot.zip or similar).

XT1095 can unlock bootloader, right? can install TWRP, right ? And can flash supersu from TWRP??
very easy to root XT1095

if you aren't on marshmallow, please don't comment. No, it is no longer as simple as it was to just root, even with unlocked bootloader. I can send you some links if you are curious to learn. but please try not to troll.

Thanks for the data!! Let's keep sharing what we find out.

I can confirm @Chainfire's system-less root works fine on XT1095 running the latest marshmallow. Just boot into TWRP then flash the BETA-Supersu-2.62.zip. If you use 2.64 zip , don't use the default system mode, it causes FC errors. System-less mode maybe works fine, but i didn't test. If you want to, you can echo 'SYSTEMLESS=TRUE' to /data/.supersu before flashing the 2.64 zip.

Pure/junior, I think this is a stupid question, but is there any benefit to system less root if you're planning to use xposed framework anyway? Wouldn't you still need junior's root kernels? Because xposed clearly modifies /system, which is the point of the modified kernel, no?
It's late. I may be talking crazy.

What I've heard is that using the system less root with some minor modifications allows you to use android pay (originally not possible on rooted devices). I also root mostly for xposed, but for some they might not need it and would prefer an minimal amount of modifications I guess.

The benefits of system-less root over the traditional way can be found here: http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/
Junior's work is appreciated and the system-less root's script actually doing the same thing to patch the kernel.
As the Xposed Framework, you can easily revert to stock by Rovo89's uninstaller script.

hi,
i flashed the 5.1 ROM (RETDEALL) -> get the two OTA-updates to 6.0 -> boot into twrp -> install SuperSu v2.62-3. -> rooted
I also try the v2.64 before, but unfortunately all app's keep force closing^^
Works fine with my XT1092 (RETDEALL) and unlocked bootloader.
https://goo.gl/photos/h5QqfVa6JpvF8qPr6

I just followed the instructions here to flash the modified kernel > flashed twrp > install SuperSu 2.52 through the new recovery and was able to root but ended up losing wifi and network connectivity. Any suggestions to fix this despite restoring to 5.1 stock and going through all the OTA updates?

Nexus 6 Nougat Root with SuperSU

I can't seem to find the answer to this.
I've just flashed the Nougat Factory image for Nexus 6 and want root. Can anyone confirm is the latest SuperSU is compatible? I've flashed TWRP and downloaded the latest SuperSU but just a little hesitant to flash it in case of issues.
Thanks a lot.

Yep I rooted just fine. works ok.

I had no problems with the latest version, which I installed last night (downloaded factory image, extracted to PC and fastboot flashed through bootloader, rebooted to recovery and flashed SuperSU 2.78-SR1).

Perfect. Flashed and working great. Thank you! :good:

If you enjoy having an unknown organization having absolute godlike control over your phone, then sure, use stupidsu.
But if you like to have auditable and sane control over your own device, I would very VERY much suggest that you instead use https://github.com/seSuperuser/AOSP-SU-PATCH

I flashed factory image today and went to Nexus Root Toolkit to root and flash recovery. It went well.

new to Nexus 6, just got Nougat OTA, whats the best way to root and have double tap to wake (will it drain battery big time?) and notification led? pls help, tia
btw I use Mac

Isn't the nexus 6 supposed to be 100% stock Android and with that being able to be rooted by any root method? I know I've read many times that if you want to get into root and hacking to pick up a nexus device as they were easily recoverable and weren't root blocked by any means

Not sure what exactly you're asking but the Nexus 6 is easily rooted when using the proper methods. Unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash TWRP recovery and then flash SuperSU or Magisk in TWRP.

Android 7.0 Call Problem

Hi
I have installed many of the Android 7.0 ROMS for Shamu and all of them have this annoying problem:
When I dial out I cannot hear the ring or the other person.
When I receive a call I don't often hear the other person but they may hear me.
Yes I've installed the N6 boot loader and radio and do not load any other mods, custom kernels.
I just can't figure this out. Any ideas? Is there a Android 7.0 firmware that I need to install to prepare my Shamu for Android 7?
Thanks
Aussie

I had this same problem, I had to re flash stock 7.0 and the problem was gone. No idea what caused it

Flashing stock does not relock the bootloader.

Didn't work
Ok I flashed stock 7.0 using Wugfresh's tool.
But still when I use the phone I can't hear who is on the other end.
Really odd!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Aussie

I'm having the same issue on a stock Nougat phone as well. The problem appeared a few days ago out of the blue. The only band aid fix I've found is the sound about app and force assigned the mic and earpiece functions.
Sadly, this doesn't address the main issue in the first place.

none
Why are you using Wugfresh? Plug the phone in the computer and when it communicates with the phone tap the menu bar that says it's charging, when you open that tick allow files/folders, the second option. Then put your files on the root of internal storage, wipe the entire system then flash your rom, you don't need Wugfresh.
If you lose your data who cares, just set the phone up again and you should be good to go, this is much more dependable as I use to use Wugfresh, you do know how to get into recovery and install that way? You will want to do a full wipe, then flash

I didn't realize there was a thread on this already.
I'm using Pure Nexus and the other end would go silent for about 5 seconds and then come back...so that's a bit different than what you guys are experiencing.

have you tried reflashing your radio? Maybe try flashing a MM radio as well

Just wanted to chime in, I think this is actually more of a VoLTE/HD issue. It happens to my N6 that's still on MM. Sometimes the dialtone/ring is there, other times it's not. Would love to know of there's a fix!

Found a fix..
Hello all.
I found a fix to Shamu+Nougat ROM problem when I am called I do not hear the other person and vice versa.
To install Factory Nougat from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
FIRST backup your phone (contacts, files, pics, movies etc) as this will totally erase EVERYTHING!
When you are on the Factory Images for Nexus Devices page click "backed up to your Google Account" then go click 'back' on your browser and click on 'Acknowledge' to see the list of Factory Nougat ROMS for Shamu come up on the right.
Download the Android 7.0 Factory ROM for Shamu/Nexus 6.
Do not flash this stock ROM using Wugfresh's tool. Instead follow precisely the 'Flashing Instructions' on the page https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Allow the phone to reboot and fully set up. Restart the phone again.
Then use Wugfresh to Root the phone and also to install custom recovery (I already have unlocked bootloader).
Now, nothing against Wugfresh Tool (I do not know why the flashing method above works better) as Wugfresh has saved my phone many times.. Its just that Googles recommended flashing instructions worked best.
Now I use the phone and not only do I hear the caller and they hear me I have much better reception (Australia). Yes I did previously flash latest radio but the above method seemed to improve my Shamu 100%.
What I have not done yet is flash a custom ROM in case the problem re-appears. But my phone is rooted and unlocked so I can install other mods that work with Nougat.
Hope this works for you.
Cheers
Aussie

Another Fix Part 2
Hi
I stumbled on another method that has seemed to work:
Ensure you have unlocked bootloader.
Flash Tupacs Android 6.0 MOB31H ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-rooted-deoxeded-fast-stable-t3252922
(*Note I used his MOB31E Android 6.0 ROM so I am presuming current MOB31H will work).
Credit to this ROM goes to tupac4u as I am not a Developer.
I then flashed SuperUser but did not flash a custom kernel.
Setup the ROM as usual.
Selected Settings - About Phone - System updates and let the phone install the Android 7 OTA update. Be aware its a 878Mb download.
Let the update download and fully install. I had TWRP recovery and the update still installed fine.
After installation fully completed I enabled Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Then using WugFresh's excellent tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452 I applied Root and Custom Recovery.
I also flashed Radio 5.39R which I found works best.
Now my phone works very well and (for now) now I can hear the caller and they can hear me.
Cheers
Aussie

Some Questions about G920T flashing / custom roms

Just bought S6 G920T so i'm still new to all the bootloader security issues, i flashed TWRP yesterday and got stuck on bootloop after that. Bootloop was fixed after flashing Twisted v4 rom. I set up everything including fingerprint and when i restarted the phone it gave the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP".
Currently i am trying to revive the phone, about to flash 6.0.1 PK5 firmware.
Now i have a few questions, please answer whichever you can:
- In case flashing 6.0.1 fails the next solution is to flash 7.0 firmware, is it possible to flash Twisted v4 (6.0.1) after that? Or i have to go with Nougat roms only?
- What should i know to avoid ever having another FRP lock again with a custom rom? Dont set up fingerprint? Or enable OEM unlock option is enough?
- Any way to permanently disable this Custom Binary lock security feature?
I want to use Twisted v4 with root and fingerprint if possible (dont need Samsung Pay). Sorry if this is a repost, i tried gathering whatever info i could on this issue but still confused on these questions. Thanks in advance! :highfive:
EDIT: Looks like this forum is dead, so i'll just answer my own questions from what i learned today with first hand experience for the next confused soul.
- Flashing 6.0.1 PK5 firmware fixed the FRP lock issue (if you were on newer firmware you will need to flash that one or higher)
- Enable Developer Options by clicking Build Number a few times, in Developer Options allow OEM unlock to avoid "Custom Binary FRP lock"
Now i am using Twisted v4 with root and fingerprint enabled, TWRP is installed and no issues till now.

If root/TWRP is what you're after, is the Tmobile version the friendliest S6 to get?

Yes. The TMobile Galaxy S6 is the last Galaxy model with an unlocked bootloader.

Just bought S6 G920T so i'm still new to all the bootloader security issues, i flashed TWRP yesterday and got stuck on bootloop after that. Bootloop was fixed after flashing Twisted v4 rom. I set up everything including fingerprint and when i restarted the phone it gave the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP".
Currently i am trying to revive the phone, about to flash 6.0.1 PK5 firmware.

Sorry I missed your post man. I am still rocking my S6 with Twisted Nougat so I could have helped ya out. I do not use the fingerprint option however.

Its ok bro, experience is the best teacher

don’t mean to hijack, but
Saw this now after I posted and you’re saying it’s dead (which sucks, but oh well)
Which version were you on before flashing entirely?
Any chance you could lemme know what to google to grab the 6.01 fw? I’ll try that out I guess.
I’m having frp lock and can’t even flash anything it seems, but I’ll try anything.

You can download the PK5 Firmware here > https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920T/TMB/confirm/G920TUVU5EPK5/113173/
OR...you can try to use Samsung Kies or Samsung Smartswitch to restore your phone back to stock. You'll need the model and serial number which you can get by booting to Download mode and then pressing the home button. Once you get back up and running on stock firmware you can enable developer options then USB debugging and OEM unlock.
Once you have those taken care of you can root, install TWRP, Xposed, and flash Twisted Nougat.

hate to be annoying, but is there a better place to find this rather than a place that will take 12 hours to dl?

Like I said u can try using Kies or Smartswitch. I have used Kies successfully on a handful of S6s without issue. Otherwise I could probably download it tomorrow at work and send you a link.

No worries. I’ll do it overnight. Thanks
Also Odin 3.10.6 started being able to flash where 3.12.? Failed.
I got the baseband you have in your sig I just installed. Still have FRP tho and was told to wait 72 hours.
Mean time my fiancé just bought an iPhone instead.

Been away from xda for a while so didnt see your post. Instead of sammobile you can usuallly find firmware on androidfilehost. If you were on 6.0.1 before then you should be able to flash this file:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120707260
if that doesnt work then 7.0 file should work (basically you need the same version that was flashed or updated version, older versions not allowed):
