Greetings, following the "Updating instructions" at Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers , adb sideload has met with failure. The downloaded OTA for the Pixel 6 meets the published sha256sum. (Laptop) $ adb devices * daemon not running...

Greetings, recently my Android 15 Pixel 6 has lost voice keyboard input, making life difficult for such tasks as texting, email, etc.. A picture of keyboards installed is attached. For years I've used the "Hacker's Keyboard", but it doesn't seem functional now, I simply can't find the microphone...

Greetings, after "adb sideload oriole-ota-bp1a.250305.019-34e04bed.zip" on a Google Pixel 6, followed by a successful reboot, then rooting with Magisk which has been successful every month for a few years, the phone now only bootloops to the colored Google logo, With the phone powered down, I...

Greetings, I'm using Android15 on a Pixel 6 smartphone with Google Messages app. How do I enable sms text messaging notifications for Google Messages app, please? The Settings->Notifications has "Google Play Services" and "Messages" enabled, but the lack of notifications is causing me some...

Hello, I have a Pixel 6 with Android 14. I'm not sure how to determine what texting app I'm using. but I assume it's the default one. I want to use "adb put ..." to upload some audio files for texting notifications. What type of files (.mp3, .mp4) do these need to be, where should I place them...

Thanks, I was able to flash a factory image and recover that way.

My 16GB Nexus 5 has downloaded OTA updates, but my choice is to manually flash the Android factory images. Where are the downloaded OTA updates kept in the filesystem please? I need to delete them in order to free up some space. I could search for them if I knew their naming conventions. Thanks.

Greetings, I could use some help with a replacement Nexus 5 please. The old one failed with a boot-loop, and research indicated a stuck power button, but the published fix didn't work for me. The vendor refunded price+shipping pending receipt, so I ordered a new one which arrived yesterday...

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)...
