[Q] S4 mini stuck on boot What should I do? topic

Hey,
I tried rooting my S4 Mini by first flashing clockworkmod and then installing the rootkit. But on boot after the Samsung tone it shuts off. I have tried wiping cache partition, data, cache, dalvick cache, etc. I also tried flashing the stock rom with no success. The phone is soft bricked-i can go on download and clockworkmod recovery. Wondering if the pit file would help but I dont know where to find it and I am a bit of a newbie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What should I do?

Should I unroot before installing latest OTA update? topic

I've got a Nexus 5 with Android 5.0. I've had it rooted and unlocked using SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit. I recently got a notification for an OTA update for 5.0.1. When I tried to install it, it downloaded ok but upon restarting it dropped me into teamwin recovery menu with options for: Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Settings, Advanced, Reboot. Not knowing what to do I clicked on Reboot -> System which booted back into the phone. Nothing changed or got installed.

Does anyone know how I can apply the latest OTA update? Do I have to unroot first, apply and then re-root? Does the Toolkit have support for 5.0.1 rooting yet?

TIA

My battery doesn't seem as good as it should be topic

I'm coming from a Nexus 4 and definitely enjoying battery improvements from the Note 4. Having said that, it seems this battery drains more quickly than I expected... especially when I'm not even using it. I do have location services on, as I did on my Nexus 4 - but it seems I *almost always* have the little location icon blinking in my notification tray

I took some screenshots which show the drop in battery, and at the end when I'm at 12% it was only 2h45m of screen on time

I'm not aware of any way I can actually dive into Android System/Android OS to actually find out WHAT'S causing this battery drain...

Am I expecting more than this phone can deliver? Anything I can look into or change to improve battery life?

[Q] What tutorial should I follow in order to unlock this device running GB? topic

I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the tutorials that there are and I am not sure which one I should follow.

A friend of mine gave me his Galaxy Note N7000 because it was painfully slow. I have unlocked/rooted/flashed etc. several times other devices, but not with one as old as this one. It runs Android 2.3.6 and it is not OTA upgradeable for some reason. I Just want to flash a stable CM 10 ROM and leave it like that for the rest of its days.

Thank you for your time.

Should I Return My Fire Phone? topic

I just bought an unlocked Moto G lte to do all the things I can't do with the Fire Phone. My question is does anyone think there will be an exploit to unlock the bootloader on the fire phone in the next few months? I have another week to return it, but I'm willing to keep it as a backup if there is a chance it might get unlocked/rooted. It's a nice piece of hardware with a mediocre os. The side-loading of the google framework and changing the launcher helps, but I still can't dig into it the way I want to.

[Q] Should I return my N6? topic

I got my nexus 6 from CPW on monday, ever since ive been reading every single post on xda about battery, ive flashed and used 4 different roms, different kernals, all the usual apps like greenify. But no matter what i do i cant get more than 3-4 hours of screen time. Ive heard lots of people are getting over 6, while im still in my return stage should i just return and exchange for a new one when they get stock on 19th decemeber? I love this device but want that 6+ hours of screen time lol
