[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I read that there are 4 versions from a95x so if the ticks are not working you have to do a deeper research of the right firmware.

Disconnect it from the tool then of sucess. When you flashed I guess you unticked "Overwrite Key" and is also recommendable tick on "Reset after Sucess" box. Try before to flash again resetting/formatting data in recovery.

spyware that survives factory reset

Q. Is it possible to remove spyware that persists after a factory reset?

I'm certain that there's some form of spyware on my s8+ SM-G955F, which lets someone remotely view my phone screen and god knows what else.

I've tried spyware scanning apps, factory reset, factory reset from the recovery screen.

I have the Snapdragon variant(which has a locked bootloader, and so far I haven't been able to find a method for rooting pie with a locked bootloader, so that I could do a "true" factory reset by wiping the oem rom with something like TWRP.

Any advice would be grateful.

edit- Also, I've removed the sd card, so that isn't a factor.

HTC butterfly 3

hey guys i have a problem with my htc butterfly 3..... it all started when my phone got to low that it actually went off and when i plugged it to the wall charger the phone woke up in an endless bootloop so i searched the internet for help... and almost every thread was talking of wiping the dalvik cache through recovery. then the most an usual thing happened when i reboot to bootloader there wasnt any problem but when scroll down to select custom recovery the htc logo appears on a black background for atleast ten secs and then the phone shuts down and goes back to bootlooping ... i went back to the internet again and i read about flashing a new recovery so i downloaded the twrp for my device loaded it using fastboot and when i tried to enter the recovery it still got stuck on htc logo but this time with red writings (this build is for htc only and any distribution will attrract legal actions) and the phone shuts down and goes back to bootloop... My device is bootloader locked but am S-off , the usb debugging is off and the oem unlock is not enabled.....

please if there is a way to help me please do.

Specific Verizon Phone Needed

First off, if this is the wrong place to post this sort of question, I apologize. I'm still new here, but this felt like a general sort of question.

The problem is, I'm looking for some help narrowing down a specific phone or tablet for purchase. I don't need a shopping list or anything, I just want to know if there's a specific device the that meets my needs:

signed by Verizon

internal memory of at least 16GB, or have the option of moving apps to the SD card

-preferable- can be rooted (preferably with Magisk, though not necessarily)

most importantly: takes the larger of the two SIM card sizes, since this is all I have at my disposal.

So if you know of, or owned a device like this, please let me know the model number so I can search for it. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can't flash TWRP recovery with a locked bootloader, you have to unlock the bootloader first.

You're gonna have to flash your stock firmware. Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

That should find the files, tools and instructions to flash the firmware.

Does anyone know how to format sd card that is ext3 and Windows cant format it, including other software like EaseUs, Minitool....
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
Minitool or GParted are probably your best options. If no joy go ext4 (like the rest of the world) and call it a day.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
The card is currently in ext3, I formatted it using Aparted so Windows wont recognize it and format it, no luck with software too, my guess is running through Linux OS? Do I need virtual machine ?
[General Questions and Answers] DB126:
Aparted is cr@p. IDK - Linux might help; go for the real McCoy vs a VM. That said, unless the card is something special trash it with a 'lessoned learned' footnote.

Edit: or try Gparted which has no relationship to Aparted despite the name similarity.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Thanks I'll try it, its either the card is dead or system is confused when reading it so it cant format it.

Hi guys

I have a note 8 n950FD and it has the official firmware 8.0 oreo i wanted to install the official update pie through the phone itself ( autoupdate) however as far as i know there is no reliable method to root note 8 on Pie yet. therefore i was wondering if i can do the pie update and than if i do not like it go back to oreo 8.0 and than root my note 8?

is this possible or dose installing the update somehow prevents you from rooting when you go back to older firmware?

i want to root so i can install viper4android and other audio mods but i dont know how good is the dolby atmos sound mod on the official Pie firmware.

any advice is appreciated

also in is it possible to put a note 9 battery in a note 8? by which i mean are the dimensions of the battery the same? or would it not fit?

thanks guys
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Root is available on Pie at the same way than Oreo, you just need to install TWRP and flash Magisk later version. (Of course you have to read carefully at the exact procedure, no big deal but...)

You can downgrade from Pie (first versions) to Oreo (latest versions) as long as the bootloader version be the same on both, you have to check on the firmware and see carefully the fifth value from right to left, if they´re equal you can do it. For example from 5DRL7 (Pie) to 5CRK1 (Oreo) is possible. Said that, some firmwares are not compatible to upgrade from or downgrade to.

Ever that you´ll go to switch from or return to you have to make a Factory Reset and flash when use Odin; CSC_OYN file or you have trouble in order to bootup.

It´s unlikely that any mod in the world can improve the horrible sound on this device but you can try both and see by your own the differences.

No, definitely not and not only for the dimensions (most obvious reason) but every battery specially on high end devices has its own technology using different sensors, charging capacity, cooling system, etc.

Can TV OS be compiled for android phone?

..
[General Questions and Answers] scorpio76r:
Try flashing a close to stock rom. If problem persist, reflash the twrp image for your device. If this doesn't work, you might have to look into hardware issues.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In theory, if the tv box and the phone have the same hardware architecture you can port the TV OS to work on the phone.

It will not be easy because even though they both have compatible hardware architecture, the two devices serve two different purposes. There will probably be things that need to be added or things that need to be removed or there might be things that the TV OS requires but the phone doesn't have or there might be things that the phone requires but the TV OS doesn't have.

Model and build number conflict

Hello friends

I bought a nexus 6p a few years ago. I bought it to flash a secure anonymous ROM on but it was extremely difficult. When I finally tried to flash it, I did it wrong and it is now stuck on the death loop of the custom ROM. I couldn't even get into the TWRP custom recovery until I just flashed it with [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] N5x/6P BLOD workaround injector.img. It worked! got into TWRP recovery. Fromt here I was going to flash the stock recovery to get a fresh start. The problem I'm having right now is that when I used ADB to obtain the build number I'm getting a conflict. The ADB points to the phone being a 'Nexus 6P angler' but the build number is that of a PIXEL [OPM1.171019.021] so I have no idea what firmware I should download. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The build number that you posted refer to this factory image https://www.getdroidtips.com/opm1-171019-021/ for the Google Pixel 2 https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_2-8733.php so probably the custom rom that you tried to flash is based on this model, and here the specs for Nexus 6P https://www.smart-gsm.com/moviles/google-nexus-6p main difference is in the sizes so no hard to find the way out
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your device is still a 6P regardless of what ROM you flashed, you need the 6P firmware.

Alternate Power-off Option?

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble at the moment with my fantastic parents (sarcasm), who force me to suspend my phone, (which is my only internet source), at 7pm each night. However after getting an android phone about a year ago and discovering the Wifi Hotspot feature, this was no longer a problem given that I would just turn that on each night before giving my phone to them and therefore continue to use the internet past 7. Now however it seems they have worked out that I'm doing 'something' with my phone to continue internet usage after 7, however they have no idea what it is, so what they're doing is turning off my phone when I give it to them.

The good news however, is that they really aren't tech-savy at all, so I'm after some simple solution to work around this issue. The ideas I'm needing come along the lines of the following: (My phone is an Xperia Z btw)

---The power menu only has a "Power Off" option, this is what they're using to turn the phone off. Maybe if there was a way to make this option reboot the phone rather than power off, I could then set Tasker to turn on the Wifi Hotspot when the phone turns back on.

---Disable the power button from doing anything? (I would be happy to replace the power button function with a volume button, or even (if the negation of the power button could be temporary and easy to turned on/off), I would be happy to have to connect the phone to a charger in the morning to make the screen light up to be able to unlock it then turn off whatever is used to disable the power button so that I can continue to use it normally throughout the day

---Disable the screen from turning on at all unless some event happens such as the charger is connected for example? (The idea of this would be that when they press the power button to turn my phone off, nothing happens on the screen at all and they think that the phone is already turned off)

---Any other idea you might have. Long story short, I need a way of having my phone turned on after they turn it off or at least a way to trick them or prevent them from turning it off.

A major point to add though is that I REALLY REALLY don't want to root my phone. This will be my last resort option if I really have to, but if you can think of any idea that will solve this problem without rooting, that would be awesome.

Sorry for the 'noob'-sounding post, but I'm desperate for some help on this issue.

Thanks to all of you have read this and are able to offer some advice

Updating PhilZ Touch don't work

Hi,

i've got a question:

I tried to update the philz touch v5.07.1 on my HOX. I'd download the philz_touch_5.15.9-endeavoru.zip, reboot my HOX to recovery, install from sdcard, choose the downloaded file and everything seemed to work. No error message.

But after reboot to recovery and look to the "about" in PhilZ Settings, it told me that there is Version 5.07.1 CWM Base 6.0.3.2 installed. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Answering Dusss: You have to install the 4.0.1 and get the updates 4.0.1-4.0.2 and 4.0.2-4.0.3 OTA or, if that not work, you have to download the Updates (ViperX OTA 4.0.2-4.0.3 and ViperX OTA 4.0.1-4.0.2) in the ViperX-ROM-Thread and install them manually.

Nexus 4 matr1x kernel visual artifacts

Hi, guys!^^

I'm a N4 user, and I was needing some help with matr1x kernel for n4, v11 with gpu OC. I'm using SlimBean ROM (the last official build, 4.3 - based), and due to several wakelock problems (the msm_hsic_host, the one which some time ago was fixable by flashing harsh's kernel) i thought it would be a great idea to try matr1x kernel. After flashing, I got several visual artifacts, like, screen tearing on launcher transitions, and on scrolling. I tested the device with stability test, and it's everything OK, i even overclocked/underclocked the GPU, but the issue persists. What can it be related to? :confused:
