If you want to learn android app development, search a tutorial on YouTube. There are several series available. I learned it from a guy who called himself "Travis, from the new Boston". If his tutorials are available, you can check them (you can also try to search "the new Boston". They're outdated as hell (he uses eclipse) but you will get an idea.

[General Questions and Answers] almahix:
I've been an Android user since 2009 with original droid. I've always sought out phones with unlocked bootloaders so I can root, primarily to use TWRP and TiBu. Given the advent of Magisk, is a un unlocked bootliader unnecessary? I can live without custom roms as long as there are ways to mod the UI with Xposed modules. So many good phones with locked bootloaders. Is it still a showstopper?
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I don't believe that Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader. Only a properly rooted device but, I could be wrong with only a working knowledge of Magisk.

The following link is to a Magisk General Support and Discussion thread. Your question would be better answered in there.

I am not so sure that jig will help, but it deserve to be tried, in my exp with n7000, i brought it to samsung service, they told that have to replace emmc and motherboard, i brought it to a local service, they only need to replace the emmc, and the other said it need to be flashed with box flasher. Finally i choose replace the emmc at one of trusted local service. And they fixed it. Unfortunately it take an expansive price.

So sorry to hear that, and perhaps someone on this forum has a good experience to help..
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
A kernel connects the software (operating system) to the hardware (chipset, sensors, battery, camera, screen, etc.), it's a lowest level software in Linux/Android, only thing going deeper than this might be the bootloader...

A custom kernel (has to be made specifically for your device model as it's fine tuned for this specific hardware setup) can give plenty advantages, better battery life and performance, also new features could be implemented, furthermore as low level interface, connecting many vital points on a device you want it to be as up-to-date as possible with latest security patches, many security issues can arise from there, especially if outdated...

Every rom includes a specific kernel to run on, you can in addition flash a custom kernel according to your preferences but you always have to flash the desired kernel after the rom as it get's overwritten otherwise, it's generally a good idea to punch stuff like "what's a android kernel?" into the Google search bar, you'll get most complete information there...

Chroot is a change root on your device. If you installed Kali nethunter on your device, you would get similar features to the Kali interface but on a portable scale. You could perform MiTM operations, wifite, etc. Knowledge of Linux commands, networking, and pen-testing is a must to use the environment; but it's good for small, on the fly testing.

Speakers not working on Samsung Galaxy S7

I've got a pretty simple question about my Samsung Galaxy S7. I recently got it and have been having issues with it that are kind of hard to explain. Basically, my speakers aren't working. The ones by the charging port don't work and neither does the one used for phone calls next to the front-facing camera. The speakers work for notifications and ringtones, but nothing else. It's really bizarre. Another weird thing is whenever I have wired headphones plugged in, the Samsung connect notification pops up and lists 2 headsets. This could be completely unrelated, but my S6 never did this. Something else I've noticed is that there is only one sound profile for normal use and when I'm using wired headphones (which is often). Music and videos still pause when I unplug them. For example, on my old S6, I could have the media muted and when I would plug headphones in, the media would be at 3/10 but it doesn't seem to be doing that on my S7.

Before you ask, I have checked all the basic settings and system volume and have even turned off USB audio control through the developer settings in case my charger was somehow screwing it up. My baseband is G930UUEU4BQU3 and my model number is SM-G930U. Thanks for the help guys!

twrp/ odin

i accidentally loaded a boot img. in twrp for both boot img and recovery img. now its loads to my custom roms startup screen. any info on fixing this? im fairly new to modding out my samsung galaxy sm-j700t1 and haven't had a problem until now. i have no exp with odin or twrp. its only been 2 weeks ive been teaching myself to root my phone and tweak it. it was trial and error the whole time. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] TheFixItMan:
I assume your phone no longer goes into recovery mode

here is the twrp for your phone

twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j700t_23217.tar

Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.

Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.

Uncheck Auto reboot.

Load the respective file above into the AP slot and hit start.

After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.

As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

You should now see TWRP recovery.

Zte Z777

I erased completely the nand with sp flash tools. I need help to recover the data calibration of my phone. No charge light or any response to the power button/multiple button press and holds. I believe (don't quote me I'm slightly a noob):confused: that I may be using the wrong driver as it does show up as Qualcomm hs-usb QDloader 9008 (com8).

The chipset is MT6572. Attached is what I am using at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Please give detailed information...

Sp flash tool is for mediatek chipsets only and there's good chance to recover the phone as long as you have some sp flash tool flashable firmware...

What puzzles me is that you say it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader, cause if it's Mediathek it shouldn't show as Qualcomm obviously...

Some basics about sp flash tool, check if your preloader is still working, as then you have good chances otherwise not..

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587

Delete the installed device and vcom drivers with USBdeview and reinstall properly..

https://tehnotone.com/remove-disabl...rts-usbdeview-download-for-32-64-bit-windows/

Find and flash the correct firmware via spft, never use "format + download", use "only download" as format will erase the whole device, including baseband, you still can fix "no IMEI" issue later on, at least temporarily...

Good luck

I've Micromax Bolt A064. I tried to flash a new ROM (downloaded from firmwarefile . com). I tried the tutorial from: androidmtk . com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool

Everything went correctly but when I tried to turn the phone on, it didn't switched on. What should I do? Needs help.

Thanks. It worked, and I managed to flash a temporary setup. For some reason tho when I go back into reboot recovery, it wipes my data from my internal storage alone. And the Micro SD is fine.

OK so I used pretty much every vcom and preloader driver I could and it seems like there is no handshake between my pc and the phone. As to more info on my situation I don't know exactly what else to say. I'm running windows 10 pro and the phone is a ZTE Grand x aka z777 from cricket. The chipset is mediatek which does make me wonder about the Qualcomm drivers as well. I believe that I read somewhere that it's in some sort of developer mode. If I uninstall the driver it automatically goes to Qualcomm again unless I force it to vcom which apparently it sees but no handshake

It's been a few years since I've gone down this road. Things have changed! I just rooted my Moto G5 Plus and installed LineageOS 14.1 on it (along with it's root/su addon). Root appears to be working nicely. Some questions!

Is Lineage Root systemless? Or standard, writing to the system partition?

Is there any reason to use SuperSU?

Is there any reason to use Magisk if I have no interest in it's additional modules?

Thank you as always, wonderful community.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Use Magisk Manager and MagiskSU if you want to hide root from app such as Android Pay and other banking NFC payment type apps, PoGo, or SnapChat (<----is that the one that doesn't like root?)

The only reason to go systemless root with Magisk is if you want to easily return to stock for OTA updates afaik

Google Pixel Restore And Update

Hello,

I have a google pixel that I got from google. I have had it for about 2 months. It's bootloader is unlocked and I have flashed TWRP onto it. It is running rooted nougat and the elemental x kernel.

When I originally got it I wanted to just use stock nougat and root it. I had found a guide though that showed how

to root it to pass safety net which didn't work (wasn't rooted, did install elemental x kernel). Then I found another guide that said all I had to do was boot with TWRP and install SuperSU. So, I did that and it worked and everything seemed fine. Sometimes, though, there is slight lag and I've wanted to go back to stock and start over for a bit. Since oreo has been released there has been a notification to upgrade ever since. Now I know I basically just want stock oreo rooted, termux takes care of a lot of other things I wanted to try. I don't really care about safety net passing either.

So, what I want to figure out is this:

1. Flash the stock rom of android oreo for the google pixel and get it as close to factory as possible.

- When I tried to do this before with the stock nougat downloaded from google, by following their instructions,

my phone would come out reset but not totally. It would still have TWRP flashed onto it and be running

the elemental x kernel. If it's easier just to keep TWRP flashed I'm not so worried about that, I just want

everything else to be stock.

2. How to root oreo after it's installed, which it seems like this thread covers: https://xdaforums.com/pixel/how-to/guide-root-android-o-dev-preview-1-pixel-t3591548
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Oreo with pixel is a bit tricky because we do not have a twrp that stays on the device. You have to use a modified twrp and fastboot boot into it, flash your SuperSU, and kernel and then reboot. After reboot twrp will be gone until you fastboot boot the img file again. You can find the modified twrp image HERE

As for the rest of it, download the image from Google, fastboot flash your bootloader, modem, system, recovery, etc; or take the system update.

I wiped my xl and started all over from scratch, used the modified twrp, and then rooted; have benefited every since.

Enjoy!

Sounds like you screwed up your phone and the partitions. Try flashing correct firmware for your device through Odin; but from past experience, you're probably going to have to pay Samsung or your carrier to fix your issue.

Bricked Asus T100TAF after bad chroot

Hello after about a year I have decided to again try and fix my T100TAF and could use some help.

Here is a brief history on how I got in this predicament... Unfortunately since it has been a year I cannot remember all of the versions I used but I'm not completely sure it would matter.

1. I installed Android on the T100TAF (all was well)

2. I installed Cyanogen Mod (all was well)

3. I tried to install kali nethunter on it *using instructions on one of the forums on here*

Durring the install of nethunter it stuck while installing chroot eventually i turned it off and tried to restart.... bad idea...

Now the device does charge to full (lights indicate full etc)... but when you try to turn it on i do not get anything... no asus logo.. nothing... in a dimly lit room I can see that the light by the webcam is constantly dimly lit.. and every 5 seconds or so it will flash brighter... but i cannot turn it off unless I open the back and disconnect the battery for 30 plus seconds.....

I have tried all button combo's and have found power + vol down will make the power LED flash white 4 times...

I have also tried to re-flash the bios using instructions i found to use the keyboards usb port but that doesnt seem to work...

is there something similar to ADB that i can push things to it via the micro usb charge port?

Could this be a UEFI problem?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I'm really hoping that I don't have a paperweight and would love to resurect it even to windows again.....

Is there any way to fix this or should I replace the screen?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCtq4eW8N_w

The problem began when the phone was connected to PC via USB first time in a long time (I don't know if it's a coincidence). The screen got a little bit darker and the image retention effect started. You could clearly see old icons in the status bar. Now it's worse. You can see what's going on in the video. The time before screen gets black correlates with the time it's been off. If I try to turn it off and on again quickly then the image doesn't come back at all. I have to wait for at least a few seconds. After the phone was off for a long time the screen works (with problems) for at least 20 seconds. Also it works longer when it's cold.
