I have messed up real nasty.

I flashed userdata, and it wiped everything as expected.
But I didn't have a ROM installed. So I'm OSless and there is no OS on the internal SD card anymore.
What do I do in this situation?

Don't use toolkits! Download the factory image from 4.4.4 connect your phone to your pc when in fastboot. Then click on flash-all.bat from the extracted image file

Okay, I have a Flash all with Android L on my computer here.
I need a tutorial because it says it's not a command.

That's because you've not got adb/fastboot in your System Path. You'll need to extract the image to your fastboot folder and then run the flash-all.bat file again

He may have used a toolkit but at least he gave us an informative thread title.
OP: if you had done your modding without toolkits, you'd know that this is a nothing issue, resolvable in minutes.

Unfortunately, toolkits and "soft-bricks" are the reason for 90% of threads in Q&A, and the occasional few placed in incorrect sections.

I am having trouble with SMS now. I been trying to text my girl for 2 days now. They say it's an APN problem, but I don't understand what's wrong with my APN or how to update it.

Is it just to the one number, or no one is receiving your texts?

It's just one number. I think it's her problem though.

Find a girl with a number you can text to. Whatever you do, the phone stays!

Scrolling

Hey guys,
New to the OPO, just came from the galaxy note 2 and love the phone but have an issue.
When I am in an app like Facebook and am scrolling, while I am mid scroll (haven't lifted my finger from the screen) it opens a picture or the comments section for some reason.... Anyone else having this issue and is there a possible fix?
Thank you!

Update your ROM. ROMs with older touchscreen drivers are known to cause this.

I have this problem also on 38R ... I had also that touchscreen issues like people said here after 38R update but yesterday it gone.

You can do either, the choice is entirely yours, just remember to make a backup first.

Are there any ROMs out there that are better then the 11s? Also to make a backup in TWRP do I just go into download mode and hit back up and select all three options?

The term 'better' is very subjective, only you can answer that after testing out some ROMs. What do you mean by 'download mode'? Go into recovery, select backup from the main menu, name sure system, data, and boot are checked, and swipe to backup.

Okay yes this what I did for backing up! What is your preference of ROM?

I like several ROMs, and there's really no point in me telling you what they are because everyone has different tastes and different needs from a ROM. I can only suggest you check a few out, read their feature sets, and try them.

Dear Timmaa
after Code:
fastboot oem device-info
It should have a couple of lines there, both with the flag set to true.
Please note: this will erase all user data from your device, it is best to do this before turning your phone on for the first time, otherwise make sure you backup anything important.
the fastboot is still on the screen, how do i move to step 2 ? just remove the cable? force restart or how ?

Are you saying that fastboot isn't working?

i see fastboot in english and chinese on the phone, i do the commands on cmd prompt, but nothing happens to the phone when i finish the steps.

You didn't answer my question though, is fastboot working? Are you getting a response in your command prompt when you enter commands? Try this:
Code:
fastboot devices
What's the result?
Transmitted via Bacon

yes it was working in the cmd, everything was fine, except the step of the .img
now when i start the phone, i have an icon on top saying supersu is ready to root, tap to root.

Yes I got time to watch your video. Everything you're doing is correct, the reason that your attempts to flash a recovery with fastboot failed is because there was a major flaw in my guide, somehow I had left the command incomplete the last time I edited it. I've fixed it now though. So, if you still have the downloaded recovery named as 'recovery.img' the correct command is this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The reason you couldn't find the 'update cm recovery' option in Developer Options is because my guide is more aimed at people who have the international model and therefore have CM11S installed on their device, 'update cm recovery' is a CM11S option and so isn't present on ColorOS.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, but thankyou for taking the time to make such a clear and descriptive video to outline the problem you were having. If you have any further questions I'd be happy to help you.

The ColorOS version is the same as the international version apart from missing just one LTE band. Have you double checked your APN settings? Go into Settings/Mobile Network/Access Point Names and make sure they're correct.

Bypass Lockscreen

My friend uses Honor 6X. He is on stock Nougat ROM. He is no more now. Is there a way to bypass his phone's Lockscreen without losing data so we could get to know some details we need?
*And his phone's bootloader is Locked.
*No way to enable developer options.
*Can i boot into fastboot mode and using adb commands can i boot via TWRP temporarily?

Since the bootloader is locked, the only thing he can do is factory reset.
Don't forget to remember which Google account he used, as it will be required after the factory reset
