Hi SHM,

I've been trying to get root on the Stock 5.1.1 ROM for the Samsung Note 10.1 (P607T) by following chainfire's method of patching the stock sepolicy and flashing a new boot.img with a new ramdisk. I tried mkbootimg first and then umkbootimg, both of them gave me a boot.img that led me to reboot in download mode with an error "Could not boot normal mode". I believe this is because the Samsung stock image is non-standard (umkbootimg gave me this warning).

YOUR mkboot is the only one that managed to create a new boot.img that was similarly sized to the original, while the others gave me smaller files. Flashing the boot.img from your mkboot however failed in ODIN with an "unknown dev_type" error. While I am unsure if this is because of the sepolicy patch, I thought you might be able to help me rule out an error being caused by mkboot. Are there any other arguments I can give to create the right boot.img? Is there something I can do to verify that the boot.img has been generated correctly? Any suggestions you can give me at this point would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Karthik
[HTC One SV] :
The first thing I would suggest, is to take a non modified boot.img and unpack it, then repack it without making any changes and try installing it. If it boots then this will point the problem to the sepolicy patch. Otherwise, it may be an issue I need to look more closely at on my end. Let me know the results. I need to go back to his thread and read up on his patches but as for my new device (Huawei Ascend Mate 2) running 5.1.1 I don't have to use any patches. I just flash his zip via twrp and I have root.
[HTC One SV] karthikrr:
Excellent advice. Just tried it, stock boot.img, no modifications, unpacked and repacked, tarred, ODIN failed with the same error "unsupport dev_type" on the device. The same boot.img which was retarred without unpacking flashed perfectly after this.

Where unmkbootimg screamed out a warning to me that the boot.img was made with a non-standard mbbootimg, your binaries did not issue such a warning. YET, clearly they calculated the offsets/addresses better than mkbootimg because a) the file size matches (was always smaller with the others) and b) here flash FAILS, while with the others it succeeds and then reboots to download mode with "Unable to boot normal mode".

I also tried Carliv's Kitchen and the results were identical to yours, unsupport dev_type failure. Let me know what you need me to try next, to help you figure this out.
[HTC One SV] :
Send me your boot.img. One not modified and one that is modified with this sepolicy patch. I have a friend that can assist me in this problem and come out with a prominent fix/solution.

I am trying to follow Chainfires guide in order to get supersu in Android 6, but I am stuck in a step: When I am trying to use "unmkbootimg" I keep getting

error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.

I cannot find a way to bypass this. Any hint? Besides that I followed the procedure normally up to this step.

you need to hack linker binary in /system/bin.

What do I do?

I am getting the same error as [MENTION=1919759]TheoKondak[/MENTION], I'm stuck because I'm on Lollipop, so PIEs are required, the .zip that the OP provided with the binaries compiled to be static doesn't contain an updated version of unmkbootimg and I don't know how to modify the system to solve the problem... What can I do?

[General Questions and Answers] backb0ne5p1d0r:
If your phone is rooted you can use TitanuimBackup to backup individual Apps.If you want to have a full backup using a rooted phone then just use CWM or TWRP Recovery to make nandroid backup.

If you're running a stock firmware , you can try backing it up using ADB. There's a tutorial on here teaching you how to do so : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351

And to Factory Reset your phone follow these steps :

If the phone is working you can simply find it in the settings.

If your phone isn't working then :

Turn your phone off , or just pull the battery out and put it back on.

2-Simultaneously press Volume Up, Home ,Power button

3-When Samsung logo appears , release the Power button.

4-Use the volume buttons to to choose Factory Reset/Wipe Data and choose it by clicking the home button :)

Please press the Thanks button if i helped ! :good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] busydoingnothing:
Hey all, I have a T-Mobile HTC One (US) that is fully stock and untouched that will not turn on nor go into the HBOOT screen. I've had to do the Power+VolumeDown boot process a few times before and it has worked but no such luck this time. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, had about an 85% charge, I saw my notification light blinking and went to activate the screen via the power button and it didn't come on. Notification continued flashing. I attempted the Power+VolumeDown and the home and back screens flashed too, but no matter what, the screen never came back. Eventually all flashing stopped and it never returned.

Plugging it into an outlet does nothing; the power light never comes on. Holding it under a light and Power+VolumeDown or just Power does nothing. When I plug it into a Windows PC via USB, it'll eventually show as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). I tried the RUU installer in Windows but it never detected the phone (USB error 170). I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04 Live USB right now and it shows up as Bus 003 Device 087: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) but when I attempt to use brickdetect.sh from here, it doesn't detect anything. I can't find any other solutions.

Am I S.O.L.?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ps2004:
Hey there

Recently updated my touchpad from old 4.0.4 android to CM11 4.4 Kitkat

I wanted to get lower dpi, used lcd density modder or smt like that, reboot, chose android, but now the screen is blinking on (black) and off.

Tried keeping the power button pushed but it doesn't shut down, tried plugin into pc, I hear the sound as if a device is detected, but it doesn't appear

Any idea beside waiting for battery to drain ?

Is there any (not too old) rom with dpi option in its parameters ?

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vizi0nz:
So I just got my unlock code for my phone so I can use any carrier while traveling, but my phone is rooted. Does that mean I have to unroot in order to enter the code? When I try to click the UICC unlock tab in settings menu, it gives me a error saying that it could not connect. Anyone know anything about this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
my phone is rooted as well but on stock ROM. Sprint does not give an unlock code ,they send unlock over the air. theoretically you shouldn't even need to click the UICC unlock. once Sprint told me it's unlocked, i was able to insert MTS (Russia) SIM ,and the phone no longer complains about "invalid SIM" in notification tray. if you on custom ROM, you might need to go to stock if the menu is broken, otherwise root should not matter.

Did you try to use different SIM?

Not yet, I'm on stock rom / rooted as well. I'll call them tomorrow and see what is going on
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
Hey, I'm rooted and s-off, running (firmware, I think) 2.06.605.1 710RD. I've been ignoring the software update Verizon sent out a while ago by pressing the home button on my phone whenever the update popup appears, but I'd like to make it go away for good, and the best way to do that is to update.

The thing is, I'd like to do it without the hassle of unrooting and going back to s-on (if I even need to do that) to update, then getting s-off and root again. I heard it's possible if you flash a pre-rooted ROM of the update through a custom recovery, and I found a pre-rooted, updated rom a while ago on the forum, but now I can't find it. The update is called HTC6435LVW_2.07.605.1-2.06.605.1.

First of all, will this work?

Secondly, I'm going to keep searching for the 2.07 rom, but can anyone let me know if they have a link to the thread?

Thanks for your help.

Edit 2: To all who saw my first edit, I have confirmed that this is the TTY update, not the 4.2.2 update. However, I think the 4.2.2 update will be available after I flash the 2.07 update, so please let me know if flashing a pre-rooted rom still works for entire OS updates (and if there even is a pre-rooted rom for 4.2.2 yet).

Edit 3: Wow, I should have finished reading xda's article on the subject before I edited last time. Apparently there's already a pre-rooted rom for the 4.2.2 update, so that won't be a problem. Ok, that should be all.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Raven_Yen:
For your 'before', it is because you are on Samsung stock ROM. Samsung Kies only recognises devices running Samsung-based stock/modified ROM. Custom ROMs are not based on Samsung ROM, so Kies cannot detect them.

There is actually an exploit in CM11, try to turn USB debugging on while uncheck MTP and PTP. It works for me to detect my external SD card although official fix is still in progress. If this still does not work for you, you can either take out your external SD card and plug into your card reader to transfer or search for file transfer apps / software that uses wifi as transfer medium.

Okay .. Thanks for your reply

Try an app called Airdroid. With it you can transfer files using your web browser in your computer.

On Nexus 4 or Samsung n9002 in CM11, you can't even check/uncheck MTP and PTP. USB is not supported if you have these devices. The USB computer connection screen simply crashes. :'(

Okay so I'm having a lot of problems with my phone that started a few days ago, yes I've searched all over the place and not much help and I'm not sure what to be looking for or where to put this but anyway; it started when I decided to get a data plan for my phone, it wasn't working so I had to set up the apn for my carrier and it was going fine until my Play store didn't work anymore, "no connection, retry" I've tried everything to fix it but it seemed to work when I cleared all of the apn settings and used wifi instead of data, but I can't test that now because I've no wifi and I'll lose my data apn? Google plus doesn't work anymore either, no data received or something, and Google now gives a "sign in error" on my phone and my tablet, and just today my play store has stopped working on my tablet as well (samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1, slim bean 4.3) also, I just reset my phone yesterday and suddenly my sd card is damaged? I didn't even have anything open just on my launcher, speaking of which I'm using the launcher from the nexus 5 and I can't swipe left to Google now anymore? Lastly, I was briefly getting no service for a while even though other phones in my house on the same carrier had full service? I know that's a lot but are all of these problems related, and is there any way to fix them? Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christianfgs:
For the Google related problems, you could try going to Settings>Accounts>Google and then Remove account. Clear the cache and data of the problematic google apps, and then sign back in.

For carrier related problems, reverting back to your old apn or use the "Internet settings." If you have the LTE version of the Xperia Z, you could go to Mobile Networks>Service providers and choose the HSPA band of your carrier.

Your first thing to try should have been the first thing you said. Take out the SIM card, put it in another phone and see does the DATA work then. If not contact your carrier. Don't start disassembling the phone...

The follow what the other guy said... but having said that your phone sounds messed up already so start from a FULL Factory Reset and re-flash the latest FW.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TX-Brad:
So I've recently been thinking that my 10.1 is a litle too large for my usage, although my wife's Tab 3 7" is a little too small...enter LG's new G Pad 8.3.

Specs look great and reviews, although few, seem good as well.

I travel for business 2 to 3 days per week and don't take a laptop as I feel the Note 10.1 has been a great alternative. I watch movies on it when I'm on the plane. I do take notes using S-Pen, but there are plenty of pens and note taking apps that would suffice. I don't use the S-Pen for anything else.

So all in all, I'm looking for similar performance, but not as small as a 7".

BTW...on a spec by spec comparison site, it seems that the LG delivers slightly more than the Note 8.0. Also, from what I've read, there doesn't seem to be a Note 8.0 2014 Edition coming anytime soon and the LG is here now.

Thoughts...comments (constructive would be appreciated)...anything I'm missing??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nightf0x_007:
Im thinking for a move to sell my note 10.1 cuz it seems samsung is not going to update it so im thinking about either nexus 7 13 or lg g pad 8.3 , g pad 8.3 has pretty same features like touchwiz ones but it also suffers from lack of dev support and horrible update schedule by LG so i dont want other device without updates
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] *Omnipresent*:
I think the G-pad 8.3 would be a good choice, given your stated preferences. Just don't expect frequent updates or tons of dev support.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TX-Brad:
So...

Picked up the LG yesterday and my initial impressions are:

Super fast and smooth. Scrolling from screen to screen is very fluid...far vetter than the Note 10.1. Quadrant score is will above 9,000, whereas my Note 10.1 is somewhere in the mid 5,000's consistently. No lag...not even worth mentioning on the Note 10.1.

Overall I'm really happy with it, but.....

While I thought the 8.3" screen was going to do it for me, I think I need to stay with a 10.1". So, wanting to get rid of all the lag on the Note 10.1, perhaps with the zippiness of the LG, staying under $400, what should I be looking at? The Xperia Z doesn't look too bad and still gets me the goal of being lighter and somewhat faster, albeit not a ton.

Thoughts?

[HTC One Mini] STEAKTASTIC:
OK so I've been researching for days how to unlock boot loader, root and s-off my HTC one mini. I bought the phone in november so im assuming that i updated to 4.3 or it was already installed (relevant later). I htcdev unlocked my boot loader, installed twrp and made a backup, installed superuser and rooted my phone. Then I installed titanium backup pro, made a backup and uninstalled all the system apps/bloatware I didn't need. All was peachy but the apps kept reappearing which I found was down to s-on (despite what I read about htcdev unlock boot loader method making my phone s-off) . So I tried the revone method and got error 1 which apparently is down to having android 4.3 so I looked for an earlier ROM and flashed Magio r1 which worked fine but couldn't find the data/local/temp folder to install revone into. Probably could of put it somewhere else but I wasn't that confident with the s-off process. So I finally found Jmz m4 stock ROM so there was light at end of tunnel. So I read up on twrp factory reset/format data functions and saw people were using both methods. I went with the full format and factory reset afterwards. Looking back now that was pretty stupid as I have no ROM and no backups to restore to. I did manage to chmod 777 the permissions on my twrp backups and copy the to dropbox (after endless scouring of forums). I also know how to flash boot images and use the adb side load functions. So that's my story.

Problem is I can't adb push the file as it returns with error closed, I've tried the following commands:

adb device - my device is attached and side loading.

adb usb - returns error closed

adb kill-server

adb start server - server starts successfully then returns error closed.

adp push rom.zip /data/media/0 - returns error closed

And just to be sure I tried with /data/media/, same error

I've fastboot flashed the jmzM4 ROM image and kernel but no joy as I'm guessing the boot image isn't enough and you need the zip.

If anyone can help out that would be greatly appreciated.

Currently I can load into boot loader and recovery no problem, just freezes on HTC load screen in normal boot up.
