I recently soft-bricked my phone and took it to a nearby tech to have the Android 6.01 OS re-installed on my Nexus 6. After I got home I checked it out and discovered he had installed a non-rooted version of Pure Nexus. It is stock Android but with a few minor tweaks available and the phone is NOT rooted. I have searched for info on this non-rooted, halt-baked OS but can't find any info on what it is and how to get the full rooted version. Can someone enlighten me please?

I bought a rooted Samsung Replenish last week off Ebay. I had trouble activating it, so I had to call in to Sprint to get it activated. After doing a factory reset on the phone, it finally activated. But now there is an update available and I have found conflicting info as to whether or not updating it to GB would brick it. Does anyone here have any firm answers on whether or not attempting to update it would brick it?
Additional info:
I think it has a custom ROM on it, as the About Phone specs are:
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version S:M580.06x.ED23
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build LeafRom 0.2-Beta
When the screen comes up, it displays 4 penguins and has "ShabbyMod" at the top.
Any assistance is appreciated.
not sure how to update for you, but LeafRom is a custom rom, google that and look into it, maybe there is an update?

Any updates?
did you try the OTA update? did it work?
LeafROM is a custom ROM possibly still Beta, I think at this point it was released almost a year ago and since the current Replenishes are shipping with GingerBread 2.3 it may be a tad behind.
I found mention of it HERE
also try ACS they have been doing some work on the replenish, looks like there may even be a CWM for it..
Hi there i recently bought a Samsung galaxy Nexus unlocked, build ITL41F.I9250XEKK9 its an att docomo phone that i bought off amazon.
Anyway when i go to search for updates it says the phone is up to date and there are no new updates and i'm currently running android 4.0.1.
I did seach google, but i really no nothing about roms and flashing devices so i didn't really understand much.
By the way the first time i connected the phone to wifi it updates the phone but it only did this once. The current version is ITL41F don't no what it was before the update.
Can someone help me or give me a guide to how to update my galaxy nexus ITL41F to a new version of ICS. By flashing the device and using an official ICS rom.
Any help greatly appreciated.
any help anyone?
Same problem here
I've got the same problem here. It installs a "system update" periodically but I'm still suck on 4.0.1. My build # and purchase location are the same. Did yours come bootloader unlocked, i.e., do you see the padlock icon when you first turn on the device? Unfortunately I didn't figure out what the padlock icon meant until it was too late to return it to Amazon.
I'm starting to get worried that someone sold me a hacked firmware that is sniffing my passwords...has that ever happened?
Hello I just bought a nexus 5. It runs awesome and when I tried to update it to android 6 I found out Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.1 is installed. I have never used the program and i assume i have to navigate to where the update is stored. When i checked for updates I only got a 16mb update only, which i am sure it can't be android Marshmallow.
As this is my first rooted phone and as i have not done it myself I am a bit cautious. I searched a bit but i couldn't find anything specific about TWRP.
Phone info:
android 5.1.1
version number: LMY48I
General Phone information:
Device: SM-G920F - Knox Tripped, phone was bought refurbished with 5.1.1 installed.
aTerminator™_G920F_DPAD_M.6.0.1_1.5500.Dev.EDGE_XE U - Android 6.0.1
3.10.61 SpaceX MM RC 2.1 - Link
Rooted with SuperSU 2.67
Flashed phone after cleaning up all data on it first (Clean install)
Problem:
Whenever I flash a new ROM from scratch, or recover the stock rom on the device, there are approx 5 applications that reinstall themselves on the very first boot of each ROM. Those applications are vendor-specific (Telenor, Norway). Are there any hidden partitions that makes this happen?
Why does this happen (a little explanation, so I understand how it works )? And how could I remove/prevent this from happening?
When I bought the phone, it was not locked to any service provider, but presumably it was before. The phone was informed to be a demo model at a store for about 2 weeks.
I haven't got to try any methods yet, as I am unsure about how and what this is.
Thanks for any responses, if you need any information besides what I entered above, just comment and I'll reply.
Hello. Yesterday i installed latest OTA Android version (TB-J606L_S320030_210923_ROW) and noticed that it is really slow and it has even more bloatware that i don't want. I don't need to root it (because of bloatware removal) as i also need to revert it to default state as it was before update.
1. It is possible to find which version i had before this upgrade?
2. How could i downgrade system to previous version (i think it was Android 10 but i'm not sure)
PS: I successfully downgraded/rooted some devices but as every brand has it's specific way to perform downgrade, i'm asking here. Any advice would help and i'm aware of dangers of downgrading/rooting devices (bricking). In any case, it would be awesome to also link unbricking guide for TB-J606L, just in case It's always better to have plan B.
Update: I found source of roms for my device but i can't recognize which versions are old Android 10 and which are the new Android 11.
