I'm completely new to flashing and modifying my phone in any way. But the improvements I see people talking about from flashing to new ROMs are compelling me to try it out.
I was sceptical about flashing my nexus a couple months ago when some ROMs had been released but from what I'm reading now people are pretty confident with how stable they are.
I'm looking for any of the following:
Smoother/More responsive OS
Improved Battery Life
4.0.3 fixes
I'm okay with slight modifications such as the removal of the Google search bar on home screen
Thanks, and if possible could someone link me to anything that would help/guide me through flashing my nexus.
AOKP
Hey,
I was sceptoical too but rooting was the best thing I could have done.
Check out AOKP BUild 15 on these forums for a really good rom and very customised. It is stable and has been working for me perfectly. Way better than stock!
Good luck.

How does it compare to CM and could you tell me about some new features that build would give me?
Also, do I still receive updates from google if I used modified ROMs? If I flash to AOKP Build 15 will I be able to update to 4.0.4 later and continue to 4.0.5 etc
edit: Is this what you are talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432408
edit 2: seems that 'AOKP' isn't mutually exclusive with 'CM', kinda shows how much I know lol
edit 3: the thread says 'Compatibility:' with i9020 and i9023 which google tells me are Nexus S phones, will it still work with my Galaxy Nexus?

This is the one I am using and it's brilliant.

There are cool features like putting data off when you switch the screen off, saves battery. Also you can add notification toggles which are very handy.
In terms of getting future updates from Google, the devs on here always have the latest source code and modify it so when 4.0.5. is out you will have a rom on here that you can flash.
Seriously root it dude and have fun. It just gives the phone something extra and generally makes things faster.
How exactly do I put that ROM on my phone lol
I have no idea what '4. Wipe Dalvik cache.' would require me doing.

Ok you need to look at the rooting and modding guides on here. Wiping the davlik cache is something you do when you have the phone in recovery mode. It is very easy to do and the instructions are very well written. Out the guides here:

Also, I shall read those guides now, thank you very much for your help I'll get on rooting it right away.

No probs, no automatic updates but generally you will have the latest Android OS because the devs on here do such a great job at releasing them.
Have fun!
So I'm at this part of the guide
'b. Enter CWM Recovery by first entering the Fastboot mode Screen (Disconnect the usb cable (if you have one plugged in), then shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode), then select 'Recovery mode' by pressing the 'Volume Down' button and then press the 'Power' button to enter CMW Recovery.'
But after I select Recovery Mode, I get an android on the floor with a red triangle sign with a ! in it over the android.
What's this mean?
Also what should I use 'MSKIPS' GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT' for?
One of the steps under that part of the guide is 'After you have finished you can either boot straight into CWM Recovery to flash a Custom Rom (if you have already downloaded one and copied it to the root of your Internal Memory on your phone)', should I proceed with that? I have the KANGY2Pack on the root of my internal storage.

Yeah if you can enter recovery mode you should be able to apply a rom.
Did you root it successfully?

After I went through this process, it appears my phone is just as it would be if I did a factory reset.
Ok, like I said on the PM, just start over. You are very close to having it rooted.
And get this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19794530
Will give you an extra boost (especially the appdrawer).
Don't install any 4.0.1/4.0.2 based roms like ARHD. 4.0.3 based roms like Bigxie's rom or openkang are much faster!

Every time I try to install the Kangy2 zip file from within CWM Recovery I get 'installation aborted', what would cause this?

How do I install a kernel? I think I know how to flash a rom (just install the zip from root storage via CWM Recovery after you've rooted/unlocked bootloader).
What different changes does a different kernel give vs different ROM?

Woo hoo! Glad you got sorted after all the private messages. Flashing the kernel ios the same as flashing a rom, the same method I mean.
Kernels vary so I would recommend Apex build five kernel, that's not to say any of the other ones are bad but just the one I am using and it works well.
Glad you got all sorted anyway dude.

CM 10.2 on Ascend Mate?
Does anyone know how hard it would be to get CM 10.2 to run on the Ascend Mate? Just got the phone and really love it but can't stand all the bloat which really kills the batty. Love to have something lean and mean like CM running on my phone.
Thanks.

CM 10.1 is the best we can hope for until huawei release a 4.3 or 4.4 rom for the mate and then we will still need a way to flash a custom recovery. Until then our options are very limited.
But the updates its to slow...

MIUI 5 3.8.12 for Huawei Ascend Mate.
Hey all, I found this ROM; an update (I think) to the previous MIUI ROM. I've loaded it up and have had no real problems. Pretty simple install. Skipped the MIUI and GMS downloads. Used latest Google Play apk instead. First off, the bottoms don't show. Go to settings and change nav button height (I changed both portrait and landscape to "52" and it looks nice).
Overall, this MIUI stuff seems pretty slick! =)

hi thegooz,
i hv downloaded it. just in case would you be kind to include how you flash it with a guide? thanks.
i read the guide but just in case someone would want to ask the same question over and over again, they'll have the flashing guide.
i havent install it yet, wanna try when i get back.
by the way, i revert back to B221, will it be compatible? i also had downloaded the Official B907 from the russian site but have not flash yet.
just want to know anyone experiences towards these.
I feel that i've made a mistake.
I try flashing the miui rom from thegooz link. Its stuck in bootloop/keep restarting when still reading files during the last system reading. That was in 60% batt.
Now keep restarting that way.
When i discionnect the charging cable it turn off and restarting again. Same as when i connect the cable again.
Any suggestion guys.

I've used the B907 as well. It's just a dload onto the SDcard and install. That ROM seems to be the best one in my experience. However, I couldn't the hide/show nav buttons to work. I ended up using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite by Pavel (googleplaystore) to get the effect.
I'll probably switch back to it soon. I like MIUI but, it isn't as smooth although it looks better; and some things don't work well, i.e., voice assistant is in Chinese, MIUI audio player doesn't work with APEX launcher....things like that.
This is how I installed it. You might have to unplug/replug the usb and start over if it doesn't read Daemon. just unplug phone, close bluish/green window and try again. It took me a couple of times.-
Unzip ROM to desktop.
Put your usb cable in your pc and your phone.
Check if it is in debug mode (I was connected as Huwaei suite option).
If it isn't in debug, then go to settings developer options put usb debugging on.
Open ROM folder on desktop and press shift and double click on flash_all (its a batch file)
A command line window will appear in blueish/green (it's in Chinese).
Just press 1 on your keyboard and press enter (rom)
Then press enter again.
The phone will shutdown and will immediately will reboot you will get the Huawei ascend logo en the files will transfer now wait the phone will boot into the new ROM and your done (give it a while and don't unplug until the window appears to be completed).
I've done before and was able to dload back to B907 off SD card.
I've a 1.5gb version phone.
Good luck.
I am now stuck in bootloop. Mistakrnly didnt realised the battery is low 4+%.
At first try it went to bootloop so i restart in recovery force update with dload in ext sd card. Until 'Checking Module SYSTEM' phone restart in the middle and keep restarting at huawei logo.
I think battery not enough. So now i need help if anyone knows how to deplete
The battery so can charge. No led light when connect to usb cable/ no signal of the mate charging.

You will probably need to leave ur mate on charge for sometime before ur mate is able to return to its normal state.
Try also the force installation method to install the B907 ROM to revive ur unit.
(with or without the charger connected).
Hope this helps..

Agreed. Or try holding all three buttons (pwr/volume +/_-) and wping/ clearing data then any ROM from SDcard (dload)
Thanks gooz n syaah.
It seems when i connected to cable to charge its not charging but turn on and stuck on the huawei logo. Cant turn it off except if i disconnect the cable. Theres no led light when connect to cable too.
When i press both vol button it will start the sdcard update but stuck in the last 'Checking Module SYSTEM' and when its in middle loading it restarted either back to the sdcard update or stuck in the logo screen.
I did left the phone stuck on the logo for a night hoping it will deplete the batt but to no avail. Still the same situation.

Do you really think it's possible? do we have a device tree now?
i have your TWRP on my device and it works just PERFECT.
1. It sucks if you try and use it in the Western world - this is NOT meant for us.
2. It is incomplete - Try and flash it using the recovery procedure and you are in for some major butt hurt. ONLY flash it from within JB!
3. Reception sucks.
4. It needs to have GAPPS installed via recovery.
5. Downgrading is a massive headache.
6. It will change your handset from U06 to C00
7. Did I mention that it sucks.
IMHO it is not worth all the trouble upgrading to this yet. Wait for the bona-fide official international version...
My 2 cents...

8. None of the above is true.
Read the title of this thread: This is my truth and my experience with this crappy beta firmware being flaunted by some script-kiddie as an official release.
Do you live in Europe or the Americas? If so then try flashing it from your phone's recovery and let us see how long you are going to run it.
As proof do paste a screenshot of your phone's "About phone" and Model number in particular. Let us see what that says when you flash this firmware. LOL
Peace

Did you flash the rom from withing Jellybean or using the recovery method?
Using the recovery method all data is cleared and ONLY the new firmware is installed. See what happens if you do this lol
But if you are happy with it as it is then there are no problems - alles ist gut! Alles klar!

Perhaps u need more readings before accomplish some jobs... BTW, if u updates from SD. using simplest "local update" method, u has avoided all of ur said "troubles".
For instance, I've updated from B125, W/OUT any hassles... All my progs, contacts, messages, files and settings are here (including Gapps) also has respected my natural language (Spanish)...
I've only one complaint, til now I can't root the B506 (Vroot can't root also... ).
BTW2, my P6 continues been P6-U06... Now have far better headphones level & quality, better GPS search and some more benefits.
Obviously, this ROM is made for China people, not for Europe but is perfectly usable until we've european version... It's a matter of patience, boy... Only a little more

In order to help you to downgrade from B506 you could use this "road map" (taked from Mr. Mansoor, in Huaweinews webpage):
===============================================================================
""Downgrade from B506 to B125
===============================================================================
NOTE: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage
===============================================================================
1. Download P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar (http://bit.ly/1hhwXCX) – Click Blue button
showing down-arrow to start download.
2. Download B125 (http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B125.zip)
3. Create dload folder in SD Card
===============================================================================
4. Extract First Downloaded file (P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar), put UPDATE.APP file (243MB approx.)
in newly created dload folder.
5. Backup Data from Internal Storage (will be deleted after downgrade)
6. Go to Setting > Updates > System Updates > Local Updates
7. Click Confirm
8. Phone will restart into recovery and start the update process.
===============================================================================
9. After restarting the phone, delete UPDATE.APP (243MB) file from dload folder of SD Card.
10. Extract second downloaded file (B125.zip), put UPDATE.APP file (1.52GB) into dload folder
of SD Card.
11. Repeat the process from 6 – 7
12. Phone will restart into recovery and update process will start.
===============================================================================
13. After update phone will restart, at this moment you phone may stuck on Huawei Logo,
Don’t panic, just hold the Power button until Huawei logo disappear.
14. After disappearing of Huawei logo, Immediately press the [ Vol + , Vol - and Power button ]
altogether and keep holding them until you see the recovery screen, release the buttons to
start the update process again, after that your phone will restart normally.
15. Now you have the Official Version of Jelly Bean 4.2 on your Huawei P6-U06.
===============================================================================
Note: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage""
Hope will help you.
Yes lol
Thank you La Aguja! :laugh:
I also quoted the attached instructions from Mr Mansoor on numerous places here to help people revert back to their previous version.
I was just stating the fact that for me the new firmware was not so great and B125 is still the best version for me at this moment in time.
Perhaps when the international B506 comes out will I be much happier to use it. e.g. the builtin Weather widget and app connecting to a western weather service and not to a Chinese one etc.
I can however see a great improvement in the basic Android services with a marked user friendliness with the new version. There is a lot of potential here to improve the user experience of all P6 users.
I found the easiest way to root B506 was to unlock the boot loader and flash TWRP recovery for KitKat. When you then boot into recover and exit it will see that your 4.4 is unrooted and will ask whether it can root it for you. This was very, very easy.

Perhaps u need more readings before accomplish some jobs... BTW, if u updates from SD. using simplest "local update" method, u has avoided all of ur said "troubles".
For instance, I've updated from B125, W/OUT any hassles... All my progs, contacts, messages, files and settings are here (including Gapps) also has respected my natural language (Spanish)...
I've only one complaint, til now I can't root the B506 (Vroot can't root also... ).
BTW2, my P6 continues been P6-U06... Now have far better headphones level & quality, better GPS search and some more benefits.
Obviously, this ROM is made for China people, not for Europe but is perfectly usable until we've european version... It's a matter of patience, boy... Only a little more

In order to help you to downgrade from B506 you could use this "road map" (taked from Mr. Mansoor, in Huaweinews webpage):
===============================================================================
""Downgrade from B506 to B125
===============================================================================
NOTE: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage
===============================================================================
1. Download P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar (http://bit.ly/1hhwXCX) – Click Blue button
showing down-arrow to start download.
2. Download B125 (http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/Roms/Ascend-P6/B125.zip)
3. Create dload folder in SD Card
===============================================================================
4. Extract First Downloaded file (P6_Unicom_EMUI2.0.rar), put UPDATE.APP file (243MB approx.)
in newly created dload folder.
5. Backup Data from Internal Storage (will be deleted after downgrade)
6. Go to Setting > Updates > System Updates > Local Updates
7. Click Confirm
8. Phone will restart into recovery and start the update process.
===============================================================================
9. After restarting the phone, delete UPDATE.APP (243MB) file from dload folder of SD Card.
10. Extract second downloaded file (B125.zip), put UPDATE.APP file (1.52GB) into dload folder
of SD Card.
11. Repeat the process from 6 – 7
12. Phone will restart into recovery and update process will start.
===============================================================================
13. After update phone will restart, at this moment you phone may stuck on Huawei Logo,
Don’t panic, just hold the Power button until Huawei logo disappear.
14. After disappearing of Huawei logo, Immediately press the [ Vol + , Vol - and Power button ]
altogether and keep holding them until you see the recovery screen, release the buttons to
start the update process again, after that your phone will restart normally.
15. Now you have the Official Version of Jelly Bean 4.2 on your Huawei P6-U06.
===============================================================================
Note: Downgrading will remove your user files, settings and all the data on Internal Storage""
Hope will help you.

You can actually change the weather service to the international server when you edit your build.prop from:
ro.product.locale.language=zh
ro.product.locale.region=CN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To:
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US

And then restart your device. When you go into the weather app again, it will give you the popup asking to allow location services or whatever, then you'll see that it's using AccuWeather.com instead of AccuWeather.com.cn :good:
Thank you very much Miz Pimp!

Hey guys, I've cleaned this thread from some disrespectful comments and "lol" posts - everything that adds nothing of value to the topic, basically. I see the OP's problem seems to be resolved now, but as a general reminder, there's no need to make an argument out of nothing because someone doesn't share your opinion. The best thing to do is to help them out if they're wrong, which is what happened in this thread. :highfive: Thanks!
I got my P6 from Amazon.de. I installes B506 over B132 and i am very satisfied, some minor issues....

By now I'm unable to say if B506 is better than B125 or not but I've upgraded, precisely, from B125 and, after have rooted (with chinese version of VRoot, thx to a Mr. Warea advice...) my B506 I've started to be happy w/it...
I continues reading and learning about and testing, testing, testing...
Thx for your advices, Falci, we continues talking in next's future.

1. It sucks if you try and use it in the Western world - this is NOT meant for us.
2. It is incomplete - Try and flash it using the recovery procedure and you are in for some major butt hurt. ONLY flash it from within JB!
3. Reception sucks.
4. It needs to have GAPPS installed via recovery.
5. Downgrading is a massive headache.
6. It will change your handset from U06 to C00
7. Did I mention that it sucks.
IMHO it is not worth all the trouble upgrading to this yet. Wait for the bona-fide official international version...
My 2 cents...

Yep. I'm from Finland and same problems here. I updated via Settings, local update. Reception cuts alot, also it feels incomplete and I can see chinese letters for example in Messages app. This totally is for China users only, MAYBE we can get international version someday. Now back in B132...downgrade was a headache - yes.
Hi,
I have a galaxy note 2014 edition that has retail mode on, it was a demo ex. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? Maybe through factory reset with stock firmware or something? Have no idea how to do a factory reset with stock firmware if that works.

Hi,
To do a factory reset: Switch off the tablet.
Then power it up by pressing simultaneously and holding : Volume up + Home + Power
When in Recovery mode move the cursor with the volume key and execute with the power key.
Select Factory reset and execute it.

Hi,
OK, the first thing to know is which device you have: Sm-P600/601/605 ??
Then to know which ROM is installed on the tablet ?
If you can go to setting : then scroll down to "About the phone" you should see the version of the ROM.
With that you go to sammobile
You put your device type and you will get all the stock ROM's
You click on the one you want and on the next windows you will have the URL to download and the way to install it.
To be able to download the ROM you have to register on this site but it's free of charge !!

Its a SM-P600,
Kernel Version: 3.4.39-1691324
Build Number: JSS15J.P600XXXUAMI8_LLK
I tried that site but canceled it cause it said it will take 15h to download the firmware.
You can try from HERE
But I am not sure it will be any faster.
Those ROM's are quite big > 1.xx Gb so if your internet connection is slow it's take time.

One more question, I can´t seem to set some kind of password for the lockscreen since the lock screen option is gone in some way. It says something about Knox but what is that?
Can i add some other app that handles the lock screen?
About Knox: it's some kind of security introduced by Samsung some months ago, a real pain in the back..
Have a look HERE (for example) for more details.
Yes you can install applications w/o problem.
Knox will only get involved when you start playing with the ROM's, Bootloader etc ..
Hi
Hello guys, I have an Galaxy S6 Edge Demo version, I want to know if I change the motherboard with another with GSM function, it will work fine ?
The digital finger print doesn't work, I have to change the button or how can I fix this ?
And another thing, in the background of display, you can barely notice a text, this : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this thing is from display or motherboard ? Because I want to know, if I change the motherboard, it will dissapear that text ?
Thank you.
I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
Hey guys, first i come from VN and my English is not good. Hope everyone can understand.
My device sometimes stop working then auto reboot. The screen auto off and about 3-4 second the led turn red color and the screen turn on then screen blur little with some blur stripe and it auto boot. It's make me scare :"( do you have same problem and what can we do to stop it?
My device still work ok but sometimes this happen.
Thanks.
Try factory reset, otherwise you need to send the device for repair. I do not have any issue with my Z5 the only issue I had was when my MicroSD card stop working (could not write to it could only read) and my device rebooted and slowed down. I replaced my MicroSD card and everything is great since then.

I'm 99% sure the reason is that you install custom firmware and xposed module, but mess something up... as a result you get a lot of garbage in System UI and Launcher UI settings.
The common reason of reboots is lag in framework which controlls OVERHEATING...device think that CPU temp is critical and reboots.
So if you are scared about this, my advice is to install clean STOCK firmware,
p.s. but installing of xposed module is fixed already and you can find very detailed guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/workaround-bootloops-xposed-lollipop-t3089203
and the part of it you need is

Anybody who is still having any kind of issues, for whatever reason, please do the following:
get into TWRP;
install, in this order, without rebooting:
xposed-uninstall-v1.1.zip
If you don't have an sd card, you'll need to reboot once after the uninstall .zip, boot the system normally, then get back in the recovery and install the other 3. This only applies to people who don't use an SD card
xzdr-busybox-enable-v1.0.zip
xposed-sdk21-arm-date.zip
xposed-leakplug-v1.2.zip
copy the logs to the PC, over USB:
uninstall_xposed.log
install_busybox.log
install_leakplug.log
each of the 3 zip's will tell you where it saved the log (it's usually the external sdcard)
reboot to system
Thanks in advance for not asking any questions about whether you have to do any of these steps; yes, you have to.
Easy
Cheers
