On a newer LG Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1 installed, in the hope of rooting I appear to have successfully flashed twrp recovery, but after restarting the phone and undergoing a normal startup, the recovery is the dead android with red triangle: # fastboot flash recovery...

I have a broken Nexus 4 that I would like to place on a high-altitude balloon, using APRSdroid to beacon position reports. We've been achieving somewhat greater than 90,000 ft. on past attempts and hope to get higher than 100K on the next one. My question is the maximum altitude for the...

Greetings, this is almost an emergency. I dropped a Nexus 4 and the display has serious cracks; it is broken. I have a Nexus 5 for a transplant of the SIM card. The power-off can be displayed but does not respond when touched. Currently, the battery is fully charged, and I'd like to power-down...

Greetings, Recently I was informed about the occam-lmy48i factory image, and today I executed the flash-all.sh after editing it to remove the "-w" wipe option. Afterwards it rebooted the phone and "optimized" the apps. I then wanted to flash the twrp-2.8.7.0-mako.img recovery, but for some...

Since the update to Android 5.1.1 and rooted with TWRP 2.8.6.1, I am now having my Nexus 4 die at the most inopportune times, such as taking an important picture, dialing a phone number etc., even though the battery is almost fully-charged. In addition, when the power supply connection is...

Greetings, Using a Nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1 has been going well, and another Titanium Backup occurred successfully this morning. I have yet to upload it to Google Drive. There is an unknown icon in the notification bar this morning, with no clues as to its significance. It is a rectangle...

Using the Play Store, I updated several apps as usual. Now there are several alerts in the notification bar stating that "An application requires installati.. Requested by Hangouts", "... by Wallet", "... by Gmail" etc. Selecting any of these results in an empty white window below the...

An elderly friend wanted to install an ad-block app that provides entries to the "hosts" file to eliminate the ads, but root was required to do so. We successfully installed the "framaroot" according to [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices - XDA Forums and then the ad-block...

My goal is to replace /system/etc/hosts file with one that includes my own network hosts, but /system is read-only, and I can't seem to change the permissions on it using adb. All operations are performed as the root (Linux) user. Here's how one accomplishes the task, assuming "busybox" and...

It's been a painful two days trying to update to 4.4, but I feel I'm almost there. Like others I encountered the boot loop, and have been following the suggestions offered in those threads with varying degrees of success,both with Debian Linux and Microsoft XP. The phone was unlocked and rooted...

Does anyone know the maximum transmit power that the N4 is capable of on any frequency? I'm doing an RFI analysis of a local site, and the N4 is another transmitting antenna to account for.

After the most recent 4.3 JWR66Y update I've again lost root, and apparently the TWRP recovery as well, since booting into recovery yields "No command" below the opened Android with red triangle above. # fastboot devices 004323648951e5d9 fastboot # fastboot update UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.60.zip...

The OTA RootKeeper failed to preserve root with the 4.3 install, and the app page now states "no 4.3 support" -- what a disappointment. Several important apps I use and paid for require root privileges that are no longer working. Titanium Backup would be nice to use. With Linux, I'm using the...

From a Linux laptop using the most recent Android SDK, I am trying to push a modified /system/etc/hosts file to the rooted, "SuperSU"-enabled N4, but am meeting with permission problems: $ ps auxw | grep adb root 10924 0.1 0.0 29188 1428 pts/0 Sl 11:29 0:00 adb fork-server server...

Help, please? I'm using a first-release Nexus 4, rooted and unlocked (open padlock displayed when phone is powered on). Using the Net10 unlimited monthly plan with an AT&T SIM, naturally I was offended by the AT&T data throttle on an "unlimited" plan. I requested the T-Mobile SIM which arrived...

Perhaps some of you have enabled Talkback (Settings->Accessibility->Talkback {on}) and are wondering how to turn it off. Here's how: 1) Selections are made by long-tap then double-tap. Remember that, as you'll need it multiple times! 2) Select the Home screen (Remember the select technique?) 3)...

This seems to be an OS font problem rather than any app, hence my question here, please. If I enter text on such a site as Upside Down Text I can see the inverted text fine on a Linux desktop, but on the phone display it is missing any instance of "E" or "e". This seems be a font problem on the...

I just ordered one from the Play Store ... shipping within 3-5 business days. Louisville, KY, United States 12/12/2012 4:00 P.M. Departure Scan 12/12/2012 2:26 P.M. Origin Scan

I have one of these 64GB microSDXC cards that I would like to use for portable external storage on my Nexus 4, thinking that it would minimize power draw instead of a 64 GB USB 3.0 stick with activity LED. I do have cloud storage, but sometimes need to be prepared with important presentation...

Have any of you yet used the Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit. Compatible with Nexus 4 ? There have been about 400 downloads so far ... and the mako200.tar.gz file that the script uses does exist on the site. From the README: --- With this toolkit you will be able to: - Unlock the bootloader. -...

Does anyone have a link to the actual N4 User Manual, please? My search yielded only portions of a user "guide" from before the release. It appears that the N4 I ordered won't arrive before next Monday, and since it's my first smart phone I'd like to do my homework with such things as learning...
