Rooting Help

Can i get help with rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2 T989? It's running Android 4.1.2 and I've tried numerous methods to root it: (SuperOneClick, etc.) Note: I have TWRP recovery installed on my phone. The main problem seems to be the fact that i can't seem to install the su binary where it's supposed to be. However, i was able to install Superuser and SuperSU for some reason. I don't want to flash a custom rooted rom as i don't want to risk losing all of my application data.

Note: I have asked this question before but it never really was answered.

Have you tryed pushing your su file by comand using the android sdk platform tools?
[General Questions and Answers] Lumamaster:
Ive never really tried that. Can you point me to a tutorial on how to do so?
[General Questions and Answers] YosoBR:
Sorry for the intrusion and my respects to those who answered for you.

I think that app Avast Antivirus Free is best for you.

Comes with lock app that you can use it for 2 apps for free and you can choose pattern or pin.

Moreover you'll have firewall (rooted devices only), sms and call filters, etc...

I hope I have helped you.

Hi i wanted to ask about my battery consumption.

Seems like My display uses 70% power even if set at 50 or 40% brightness.

I have a galaxy ace plus rooted only to get superuser no roms etc its on stock 2.3.6

When the screen is off like when i sleep it uses 2-8% in 12 hours depending what settings i gave to the cpu which is good. Though 1.5-2 hours of gaming with a GBA emulator or an android game are enough to get to 20-30% and need a charge.

Is this normal or somethings wrong? Also i have a brand new battery as the last one got overheated while the phone was usb-charging because of tethering and got decreased durability.
[General Questions and Answers] Scaribay:
so you are saying you are having say 1.5 hr-2 hrs on screen time gaming? Sounds about normal to me. I have Google nexus 10 and thats what i get gaming, give or take. But i would check your literature or the Manufacturer's site.
[General Questions and Answers] jesterw:
Yeah i thought it wouldnt be too bad but 70% is very high. The applications themselves go to a max of 8-10% if i make extended use. But the cursed display sucks all the battery. Also it does much of a big time to drop from 99 to 98 percent then the battery drops 1% every 2-3 minutes while beeing online with wifi or gaming. I did charge it too 100% and deleted stats but it keeps happening i also tried battery calibration app.
[General Questions and Answers] Scaribay:
So here's a question is there an app or a setting you can use to switch a sprint gnex from gsm/cdma radio band to lte/cdma? It's enabled on my account, but doesn't seem to work on my 4.3 rom i would like to use. Any solution would be helpful.

Verizon galaxy note 4, I heard it has a locked bootloader, what does this mean and can I by pass it. I also want to root it, can it be done?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
locked bootloader in very non technical and practical terms is what keeps us from flashing custom recoveries and in turn full custom roms. unlocking it basically removes some of the security so we can change partitions contents at will.

If you can find a compatible recovery, and you have ADB, download the recovery onto your PC.

Rename it to recovery.img and place it into your fastboot folder. Then enter this into ADB:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

You can then enter adb reboot recovery and it will boot you into your new custom recovery.

You won't lose your paid apps. Once you've paid for them, you own them. Reinstall them after rooting.

But Titanium Backup is the king of the backup world.

As said by [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] though...once you buy an app... You can always download it from the play store again. Assuming you use the same Google account when you setup your device. :good:

Titanium backup also has an option to make a flushable zip file of all your apps.. When u set up your new rom.. You can simply flash that file via custom recovery and all your app come back instantly with all your data saved..

Get photos from broken screen LG G3, I'm stuck with adb device unauthorized. Help?

Hello there!

My Rooted Android 4.4.2 LG G3 has a broken screen and the touch screen doesn't work, so even if I can see the screen I can't put the unlock code. I need one of the photos of my G3 because it's a very important one: if I don't get that photo I won't be able to get my degree later this year. So I really need to find a way to get that pic from my phone. I've already ordered an OTG cable it probably won't arrive soon enough, so I tried to find some other solutions. I think USB debugging is enabled on my phone

I downloaded Android Studio and Droid Screen + all the adb drivers for the lg g3. I have adb.exe on my pc and I'm trying to use it for droid screen, but I get "State rejected" on droid screen and when I write adb devices on command prompt I find the serial number of my phone and "unauthorized". I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. I tried writing "adb shell input text PASS" , putting my 4 numbers code instead of PASS, but I get this message:

error: device unauthorized

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set

try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

So I thought that I should authorize the device from the phone itself, but I can't because the touch screen doesn't work ( apart from an around 1 cm^2 area on the bottom, which is useless).

What else can I do? I'm desperate!
[General Questions and Answers] schwarzerfleck:
Maybe let repair your mobile? It won't take too long, so I think this could work out.

Another question, does your screen not work at all or is only the touch function broken? Then you could try sending files via your recovery... Depends on which one you use
[General Questions and Answers] DeadEnd91:
Thanks for your help!

I need to get the pic by Monday morning, the otg cable will arrive on Thursday-Friday and any reapair job costs more than 150€ and requires 7-15 days... I'll definitely get my phone repaired in the near future, but now I'm focused on getting that pic from my phone.

The screen does work, in fact I can see my home screen but can't put the code to unlock the phone because the touch screen doesn't work. Can I do anything? I have LG G3 D855, rooted but with the original firmware.

Xperia e4 how can I launch roms and enter recovery mode?
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
I don't exactly know what do you mean by launching ROMs, but I'm assuming that you actually meant flashing ROMs.

First off to boot into recovery:

1. Power off the phone.

2. Press volume up and power button at the same time.

3. Release all the buttons when the logo appears.

Or if you have root, you can use terminal emulator and use:

su

To gain root access

And then

reboot recovery

To boot into recovery.

To flash a ROM you'll need a custom recovery and the ROM zip file build specifically for your device.

[General Questions and Answers] Mac1isMac2:
Noob here. I need some serious help guys.

Guys I need your help with my phone, the problem started when I tried the ART runtime but it didn't turn out well because when my phone rebooted with ART runtime, it started flashing errors over and over again saying that apps won't run because there's not enough memory, and so, I panicked and I thought that resetting the phone back to it's factory settings would fix the problem, well it didn't, after resetting my phone and rebooting, my phone suddenly cannot receive any notifications i.e (calls, txt messages, bluetooth notifications, USB connection nav), I think my phone is stuck in deadboot/bootloop(?), and my phone is noot rooted btw.

I don't have enough knowledge on how to deal with this problem correctly, I'll appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you in advance.

Wacky Screen Responsiveness..

Hello everyone.

I hope I am following proper protocol here. I have spent endless time searching for my specific issue not just here but the internet in general, and while there are LOTS of unresponsive screen issues, my particular one is a bit more quirky than that, so hopefully somebody here can guide me in the right direction.

I have an LG G3, D850 that is rooted, and currently flashing bliss pop rom. I have had the phone around 9 months without any issues, until yesterday. Mind you, nothing out of the ordinary happened prior to this problem starting, as in no major drops or bumps, cracks or rough play...

My screen still responds to my touch, however, the middle of the screen tends to play fairly normal, as in I touch an app and it opens up like it normally would. Towards the bottom, I usually have to hold down whatever app I am opening for a few seconds until I feel it vibrate, and even then sometimes it wont work unless I press it over and over. the keyboard strangely has no issue on what area of the screen I press, rather certain letters only work if I press them over and over... C, R and O come to mind. Other times none of the apps will respond normally, and the one constant I have is the upper 2-3 cm of the screen doesnt register my pull down notification menu at ALL... UNLESS I use nova, OR, I set up a gesture to open it (for instance, one finger sliding down).

This makes it hard as hell to do anything on the phone, especially text without losing patience after about 10 minutes. It can take up to 2 or 3 minutes just to get where you want on the phone somtimes from holding, pressing too long and going TOO far, having to go back, press the back button over and over until FINALLY it works, etc... Overall the screen just is all over the place...this is what Ive tried to remedy it..

Factory reset multiple times

flashing 3 different roms

clearing cache, dalvik, data

malware and virus scan

pulling battery

Ive had no luck at all, and my searches have been useless. I hope someone here may be able to help.

Thanks

Dave

It seems to me that your hardware is damaged, you've tried different ROMs so its not a software issue unless your ROMs all run on the stock kernel and you are having a kernel issue but i doubt that is the case.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You may need to restore the stock firmware via whatever flash tool is compatible with your device. You've incorrectly or incompletely modified your system, it's easier to start over from scratch than it is to troubleshoot your issue. Just my 2 cents, someone else here may have a better option for you though.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Find the apk that you deleted, get someone with your device to upload a copy or download your stock firmware and extract it, then use adb to push it to system/app folder, make sure you find out how to set the app for the correct permissions if needed when you push it to system. Your attempts at resetting didn't work because the reset only removes things in user space and leaves system alone, your apk is no longer in system so your system remains the same after reset.
[General Questions and Answers] Dave520:
*Sigh*

Thats what I was afraid of. I dont know anything about the kernel other than I usually dont play with it, so youre probably correct. Seeing that Im on straight talk, I think the only option I have is sending it to LG and waiting a month to get it back.

Oh well, thank you for your help regardless!

This could be also an issue of your Micro USB port.

On my device, when plugged in, often when I tap with one finger on one position, it taps another random position.

Please try this out before continuing.

It could also be a defective touchscreen.

Have you tried out enabling the touch dot in developer options?

Try this if it is possible:

Settings -> About the phone -> tap at least 7 times on build number immediately

Go into Settings -> Developer options and enable "Show touches" (or similar)
