I don't think there is anyway to do that which is why signed software is generally trust-able.

Hopefully we'll get custom roms soon... AOSP on a $50, quality, device would be awesome!

Yes, however right now I'm just doing a highly customized, de-bloated, de-amazon'd, pre-rooted, stock based rom. I don't know if anyone is working on AOSP or CM based roms at the moment.

That sounds really great. I tried to make a deblooated rom, but I broke the settings application by accident. I guess I'll just wait until someone else releases theirs... :/

SD, I am trying to install TWRP as per the video. For some reason, my files look different then your and I am running Win 10. Any advice? Thanks much.
PS: When I get to the command prompt,, mine just opens up to my system, not the ADB folder....
EDIT: Ok, got it to go, don't know how, but it worked. Anyone else notice the device runs a little sluggish after this? Thanks!

hey since this is running lollipop amazon os. cany you guys make a costom rom like the hdx developers do that can be booted without unlocking the bootloader. they use safestrap which is like twrp but for locked bootloaders and install custom roms. they arnt fully custom they have amazon aspects that let it boot with the locked bootloader but it is almost fully custom the hdx has a nexus rom and a cm11 rom they made for it.

Did you install Google apps zip?
It's not unusual for google services to slow down a device

Not as easily as it they were installed.
Use a root file manager, to delete or rename or move.
Use titanium backup pro or similar app, to freeze google apps
you freeze all google apps, and see if performance improved, them unfreeze google apps one at a time to see which ones are causing issues.

Problems with Android N Preview and Unenrollement

Good Morning Everyone! I decided to open this discussion hoping someone could help me solve or at least understand the problem I have been having on my Nexus 6 with Android N Preview. So, I have the Nexus 6 since April and I got it from a friend who sold it to me. At that moment the phone was already enrolled in the Beta Program, and was running one of the first previews. But here came the problem. In fact I wanted to unenroll the phone but when I enter the Beta Program page, my Nexus does not appear as eligible device nor I can unenroll it from there. I looked at Device Manager and it shows my Nexus 6, but I actually could not do anything to unenroll it. I tried flashing a Marshmallow build with NRT but as soon as I turn on my phone, an annoying notification shows up, saying I can update to the N preview. So, how can I try to uneroll my Nexus 6? My friend says he is not able to do it for me, cause he doesn't see the device on his account anymore. What do you suggest me to do?
Thanks in advance, guys!

Here is an idea.
When NRT is used Twrp-recovery is installed.
Copy a lite stock rom in 'zip-format' to internal memory. Or download it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59561445/
Reboot in recovery and wipe the system partition and caches.
Still in Twrp-recovery - Flash the 'zip' with lite stock rom.
Reboot.

Thanks for your tips, man! I have some questions about: with this procedure I'm going to install a custom ROM, but if I wanted to go back to latest official MM build and flash it with NRT, will be the problem solved in the same way in your opinion or will I get the notification about the preview again? What if I try to access with another different account after that in your opinion?

You need to delete the current account and do a factory reset.
For going back to stock there is a tutorial,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57063390/

So I managed to go back to android MM after enteting a new account and unenrolling my Nexus 6 from Beta Program. Now everything seemed fine but then after I updated back with the OTA I received, I noticed my device has still July Security patch. I thought Google would have sent me September ones, so I tried to check manually and waited a whole day, but nothing happened. Coukd it be a problem related to bad installation in your opinion? Do you suggest me to restore September build through NRT?
Thanks for all your help man, I owe you and thanks you for your time!

You really dont need to re-lock bootloader. You could have just downloaded and flashed through twrp and then flash supersu. But i am not sure why it is failing on your end.

Same thing here, always installation failed

Try a different type c cable.. Apparently, I was having this issue
Op3t original cable : Android auto and adb side load works perfectly on my op3
But when used on op3t, android auto cannot detect and side load of ota fails.
Used the original cable from Google Nexus 6p, Android auto works perfectly but I didn't try side load adb because I already flash via TWRP instead.
Try changing cables

Found a FIX!
its sort of a long process if anyone is interested lmk sorry would post but doont know if anyone cares

I too had the same problem. Can you explain me how to get that?

sure @kabeeradam so what you need to do or atleast what worked for me was go all stock recovery and rom and had bootloader locked too.
flash the beta rom from oneplus through sideload then flash the stable rom from oneplus then do the normal ota update and it should work. lmk for any other info also sorry if it looks like a mess this is my first time explaining these types of things. hope it helps

I am in 3.5.3 now. Locked bootloader. Still OTA gets failed. When I tried Oxygen OS 3.5.3 through sideload also gets failed. Can you give me the link for beta rom???

@kabeeradam im a complete dumbass i realized that i posted this on the wrong phone it was meant to be one the oneplus 3 not 3t but it should be the same i guess
http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3/ flash open beta 10 through sideload and then flash oxygenos 3.2.8 and do normal ota update im sorry i just saw

Twrp problem please help!

So let me explain the whole story, so a couple days ago i install OOS 4.0 on my Oneplus 3T and tried to root it, bearing in mind i was already rooted when i upgraded and I lost my root privileges. So then when i tried to re-root my phone it ahs come up with "dm-verity has not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly", so a bit weird but then i tried to install TWRP and when i booted into TWRP, it just stayed at flash screen of TWRP and wouldn't initialize. I have being trying ever since, factory resetting my phone, re-root etc. Please help me!
I CANNOT BOOT INTO TWRP, IF YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT!

Boot it into a boot loader and use this :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/toolkit-oneplus-3t-toolkit-unlock-t3507729
Choose option 4 and make sure you are unlocked.
Choose option 7 and wait a few moments to see if that works. If not try the UnBrick tool.

How long have you been waiting on the TWRP startup screen? You do know it takes a long time to startup using F2FS and encryption on data partition, up to a minute from what I've heard.

I'd normally wait around 5 minutes
UPDATE:So i just booted into TWRP and have been waiting around one minute and it is still on the splash screen.

It didn't work

is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

This question seems to keep repeating itself due to missing information on TWRP post about the latest official version being incompatible with OOS 4 encryption method, but that is the explanation. There is a beta release of TWRP in post 550 in that thread that is supposed to fix this.

Google's 12 Beta test.

Hello everyone,
So I recently was testing for Googles Android 12 beta test program which converted my phone over to Android 12. And then I realized I didn't like Android 12 because my apps weren't working with it.
During the beta test program Android said you can revert back to Android 11 which it didn't allow me to.
I tried looking on the forums for recovery and tried everything I could to revert it back to Android 11 however the file format of the system that Google put on was a Raw file system that recoveries and even Google's recovery software was not fixing at the time, so I ended up bricking my device basically.
Now that it's been a few months I'm wondering if any of you know of a fix at the moment that might work. So I can unbrick my device.

try to flash the very first (oldest) factory image. i had to do that once my phone wouldnt flash any other image they would all fail but the oldest was the only one to flash
