Verizon Nexus 6

I am thinking about getting the nexus 6 this week. I have looked around this thread and have some questions.
1. Is the bootloader for the Verizon nexus 6 unlockable? (If so, please add a tutorial link)
2. Does Xposed installer work with this device?
Thanks

1. Yes, the same way as every other Nexus device, so just read the stickied guides at the top of this section.
2. Yes and no. It works on 5.0.x but not on 5.1.x, which is what your device came preloaded with. I'm not sure what parts of your firmware can/can't be downgraded if you really want to roll back to 5.0.x to use Xposed, so maybe someone else will chime in with those specifics.

I certainly would like to roll back to get Xposed. Also what roms do you recommend for this device? And could you link how to root/install custom recovery? Thanks!

As @joshm.1219 said, read the sticky roll up thread at the top of this forum. All the answers you're looking for are within that thread. :good:

Do you know where I could find how to downgrade from 5.1 to 5.x.x? I really would want Xposed installed!

If you downgrade from 5.1, do not revert your bootloader. Downgrading bootloader from 5.1 to 5.0.1, then eventually back to 5.1 could potentially lead to a brick.

What if everything is stock? No root or anything? What would the safe steps be from there?

My first suggestion would be to use the search function provided by XDA. As I'm sure you suspect, all of this information is out there waiting for you to find it.
Look through the Q&A forum. I'm sure you'll find answers there.

It's OK to downgrade system.img and boot.img. Just don't downgrade your bootloader. Unless you never want to go back to 5.1.

You'll find, that there's a guide written, for pretty much everything you want to do. The steps are simple and fast. Just read the relevant threads and be sure you know what you're doing. Once you unlock your bootloader, leave it unlocked. Flash recovery and root and have fun!

Since you're unlocking and getting a custom recovery anyway, all you have to do is flash a 5.0.2 rom and 5.0.2 kernel. Most devs have updated past that, but you can find links to their older builds usually from the same download folders.

I would suggest that a little bit of patience might be in order here. Xposed is very popular, and I can't imagine that it would be more than a couple of weeks before it's functional on 5.1.

Return to stock

Hi i hope someone can help me i would like to go back to stock Kitkat after being on CM12 lollipop for a while but i am unsure iff i have downloaded the correct stock rom. Could someone please have a look and let me know iff i have downloaded the correct Rom. This is the rom i downloaded XT1052_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml. Before i flashed cm12 i was running Kitkat 4.4.4 and i am in the UK. I intend to do this procedure using Rsdlite.

Make sure you dont downgrade... put your phone in fastboot mode and check the bootloader version of your phone and let me know... AFAIK you Will be ok with the firmware you downloaded... Just take more precautions before flashing through rsd.. REMEMBER NEVER DOWNGRADE or else you will be hard bricked... As long as you dont downgrade and your firmware version matches your carrier you are good to go...

Ok i think you are all ready and set up to flash the stock firmware, again make sure that your phone is XT1052. And then go ahead and flash that stock firmware... And dont forget to edit the XML file and remove the lines that have "getvar'" written in them.. Save the xml file and flash through rsd.. again take precaution of the Boot loader you dont want to downgrade!
Here is a little heads up or info of boot loader's according to the firmwares for you :
30.70: original 4.2.2
30.71: 4.2.2 camera update
30.B2: 4.4
30.B4: 4.4.2
30.B7: 4.4.4
The order that I've written above is: (Bootolader: Android Version)
So you are on 30.B7 bootloader right now so you can flash 4.4.4 easily... But DONT EVER TRY TO FLASH BELOW 4.4.4...
Good luck mate...

1: Checkout the back side of your moto x.. the model of your device is stamped at the lower back side of your device...
2: Connect your mobile with computer and see what model does it show on the usb mass storage device..

IF the original motorola back is on the phone, there is some very fine/small print at the bottom of the back. It will have the FCC ID, Model number, etc. It could be hard to see, you might have to tilt/twist the phone so the light shines off it just right, or use a magnifying glass if you're my age.

Hi as of 10 minutes ago i have had success in flashing the custom firmware 4.4.4 on my moto x and everything is working fine. Thankyou all for the help as i was uncert

Hello guys just to update i have had success in flashing the stock firmware using rsdlite and thankyou for the help you all provided. Their is just one more thing i believe the moto x has been updated to lollipop in the time i was on CM12 . Now that i am back on kitkat is their any way i could get the official lollipop update through normal system update as when i check it is not being offered.

Same here I'd like to get the official lollipop. I have the XT1050, its a weird phone but pretty cool. The latest Android version I have is 4.4.2
Looks like you're ahead, lol

Im surprised i think you should at least be on 4.4.4 by now but perhaps its a carrier restriction. The reason i want lollipop update is because i am now wanting to sell the phone and it will demand a slightly higher value being on the latest software.

I thought that myself but according to Motorola's website Android 4.4.4 hasn't even been release for the XT1050
Plus I don't know what carrier the phone has. There's no carrier label ANYWHERE on the phone

the official android lollipop update for the Moto X (2013) hasn't been released world wide... You have to wait for motorola to release it for your model of X..So just wait for the Update to pop up it self... And if you got successful you could appreciate us by hitting the "Thanks Button" on our posts which helped you get through your problem

I am familiar with this issue it used to happen to me too sometimes. CM12 is very good but i think because their is not a stable release yet their are still some little glitches. Otherwise most of the time it works really well and very customisable. Iff i wasnt going to sell my phone i would have definetly stayed with cm12 their doing a great job.

[Q] Update to LP no AT&T sim

Hey guys I bought a S5 for a good price for someone as gift just opened it not to long ago and can't update to Lolipop without AT&T sim I was looking for odin files to update it but I can't.
Phone came with 4.4.2 but it's not root-able.
Can anyone point me in right direction where to find odin lp files? SM-G900A

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

EDIT: rom loaded fine. I hope somehow it did not get re-locked to AT&T sim only though will have test my foreign sim to test
EDIT2: sim unlock seems to be fine my Polish (Play Sim) roamed on AT&T

No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat.

Hey bud , unfortunately if you have oreo u cannot update. There are many apps you can try yourself like kingroot. But there is not possivle way of rooting it unless u get into hacking your phone , then i recommend going by this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/help/starting-scratch-t3837452
Other than that i there is no way to root,at least not yet.

If you have an H872, then all you have to do is follow this. Read it several times to make sure you understand, and Google videos if needed to make sure you understand. @pena020563 gave you the answer you need, albeit in a cryptic manner - his link will eventually take you to the link I supplied above. And I don't know why he even mentioned Kingroot. The method I am linking you to is, as far as I know, the only way to root an H872. Don't bother with anything else.
Had you looked just a little harder, you know...scrolled down a quarter of the page, you would have found the link I gave you all on your own.
Good luck!

they claim support g6, but no one ever proof it. The last time kingroot is really useful is when Android Lollipop era after Marshmallow they don't have good exploits to install root in system. Many has been patched.

what's your problem with this xda guide? I think it's simple enough but you have to carefully understand what you have to do (just read carefully). If you don't want to leave windows you can use virtual machine (which I believe is more complicated to setup and need more PC resources).

https://www.google.com/amp/s/9to5google.com/2020/01/28/android-flash-tool-pixel-aosp-builds/amp/
Has anyone tried this yet?
I'm going to try it tomorrow but was wondering if someone has already pulled the trigger?

I'm curious if those of us with a bootloader locked phone can flash a different carriers firmware and be able to unlock our bootloader??

I just peeked at the tool and you have to have OEM Unlocking enabled to use this so it may not help you.

i tested it yesterday seems everything works buts its plain as vanilla also its android R

Garbage. Stock is better.

I tried it as well but couldn't get it to make phone calls. I'm on Verizon and tried a few things. Yeah it's pretty plain.
It's aosp I'm really surprised Google would supply this to the masses. Reminds me of the good old days.

I wouldn't even bother trying to flash ASOP builds because I know better. This really isn't for end users. Strictly for development. I'm perplexed why people are even bothering to use it.

I have the Google store verizon on Verizon. Think you need to have an unlock bootloader to use this.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.

My wife is using one that has a locked bootloader. I tried everything without success. Then I gave up and bought the unlocked version and gave her the Verizon one LOL.
There is a thread in this section that talks about unlocking Verizon ones.

If I try this how can I flash back to a normal rom? I heard you need to use https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com but it's forbidden in my country.

It didn't work for me in the US either I just flashed the full image from Google to get back to stock.

Yeah I read somewhere that's it's a tricky business to get back to stock but I just flashed and it's back to normal. Aosp was interesting though.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run
If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB

Ok now we have a new tool. It's like the other tool mentioned in this thread. It doesn't mention needing "OEM unlocked" enabled. Question is. Can I flash Google fi firmware on my at&t phone and be able to enable "OEM Unlock" afterwards?
