    Thread Stuck in boot loop even after factory reset. Able to get into bootloader and recovery

    Hoping for some help or alternatives to fix my fiancee's Pixel XL. Last night the phone just kept flashing the 'G' logo on for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. She said the phone was close to dying before it happened, and I imagine it probably ended up draining the battery afterwards with the...

    Thread Unlocking for international use?

    I'm on full stock and need to unlock my phone for international use. I tried through ATT but apparently I can't since I'm under contract. I've never had to do this before, but I thought I remember reading this is, or can be, part of the S-off or root or something. Can this be done?

    Seems to be a bug with the messaging app on 5.0 update. Fully stock. I text my gf probably a hundred times a day, and now all of a sudden I can't text her as it keeps sending me a message, 'error invalid number' and it displays her number with an extra 1 added 11(xxx)xxx-xxxx. I checked her...

    Thread Custom recovery without root?

    I'm running stock just updated to Lollipop. Need to factory reset. I've learned that reset now completely erases ALL info, which I'm trying to avoid. It appears custom recoveries like CWM and TWRP will leave your personal info intact (sd partition). So my question is, just for the purpose of...

    Thread What gets wiped on factory reset?

    Sorry if this is quite a noobish question, but I'm a bit confused after not doing this for a while. On my Note, I used to wipe and flash new roms all the time. I haven't yet done that with my M8 so it's been quite a while. I remember when I used to factory reset, I'd always still have my...
