There's no recovery installed by default, flash a kernel with recovery first... then press volume+ at the right moment (most kernels turn on the lightbar or power led to tell you)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MatheusRoqueStr:
but

but , can you give me the link for that kernel ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
depends on the ROM you have installed now

[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
Well I think almost everyone nows about it but for the people who dont here you go.

SELinux status is set to Enforcing in Android 4.4.x

some older apps may not work with SELinux status set to Enforcing

You can set it to Permissive with the is command in terminal. setenforce 0

I made a simple script to set it to Permissive at boot.

You need init.d support

You need to rename it first, remove the .zip

You need to put it into /system/etc/init.d I use Root Explore

set permissions to rwxr-xr-x

Your good to go now

If I helped you Cheer!

First off, we have root. I'll post the method soon. Its using the third exploit in the cydia impactor.

Secondly, its kinda pointless until we can get the bootloader unlocked. This phone is locked tight.

Hi there, great job, can i go and download cydia and also is there a way with it to unroot if i wanted. Cheers
[Android General] papi92:
Yes

Hey, you're Guenne from Meizu Me? Nice to see you here!
[Android General] Guenne:
Hehe,

yes.

We seem to have similiar taste....

I am very thankful, because I need my Vivo to play drum loops and use AirPlay on my iMac, which is linked to an amplification system (I am a Sax player).

This is working fine now using AirAudio on the Vivo (needs root).

One thing about the chinese root manager: I cannot get rid of it. I installed SuperSU and tried "Update", but it does not work even if I restart the device.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

[Android General] Hondaracer:
Well, since I don't own a Xplay 3S (yet), I am not entirely sure. But I took the info from this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434453. Maybe it helps you out ;)

[Android General] JerichoB:
Successful root regardless of your version installed.

Hello.

I have come here with a 100% root method. First off let me mention that Vroot updated to 1.7.7 today. I am not aware if that works, but here is my working method. Also note that VROOT and KINGOROOT are known to send your phone's IMEI to a server in china and might be malicious.

Here is the method.

If you have unsuccessfully rooted as your phone is 1.19.3 or higher, simply revert back to a previous version. I dont have the exact link, nor will I provide it. But if you download a previous ROM such as 1.16.3 of FUNTOUCH OS for the xplay 3s and put it on the root of the phone... you can revert back to it by installing it through the recovery.

If I recall correctly you enter recovery by doing the following

1 make sure your phone is powered off, if not, power it off.

2 hold the power and volume up button until you get into recovery

from there select apply update from SD card

and select the zip file of 1.16.3

it will then proceed to install.

Then once it is done you can use vroot to root your phone.

Voila! Rooted Xplay 3s :D

However! I have more.

This requires a bit more expertise and is more complex. I am not responsible for any harm done.

As many of you, I want the latest ROM with root...some chinese programmer with the name of MaFei has made a rooted version 1.21.1

of the Funtouch OS. However you cannot simply update to it by the method above as you will get a signature error. EVEN if your phone is rooted (which is required to update to that rooted version)

You need to install a custom chinese recovery, which I have managed to find on the net. Once again. I cannot provide links at the moment nor am I 100% of how safe it is given it is all in chinese. But once having installed the chinese recovery (tutorial will be posted upon request)

which is simply a custom recovery where the menu is all in chinese...you can install MaFei's 1.21.1 latest funtouch OS and enjoy it being rooted :)

Here are some screenshots. (btw in case you didnt know, you can take screenshots by holding the power button and touching the home button)

Cheers friends. Lets hope vivo doesnt patch this.
[Android General] dolvliz:
Thanks for sharing, I have found this method in chinese bbs also but still not tried yet bcz the new recovery, which we must use to flash the lastest rom, all in chinese language and I wonder how can we go back to stock recovery if we need? bcz I have seen the man who flash to this recovery and cannot return back to stock recovery on somewhere (sry, I cant remember). And one more question, is the lastest rom w/ root privileges can have an OTA update?

Thanks in advanced.
[Android General] JerichoB:
As far as I know the only reason he cannot go back to his previous recovery is because he doesn't know how. With the recovery tool there are two options. One to install the recovery 1.5 and the other is to revert to the stock one I believe. If not it doesnt really matter as all I use the recovery for is to apply an update to change the rom. The menu is the same as any regular recovery simply in chinese. 2nd option in the list is to select a zip to install from the SD storage.

OTA update wise, I can't tell you. I have the latest version installed and there hasnt been a newer release for me to try it on, however I have read other people having say 1.18 rooted and upgrading to 1.19 through the update option in the settings and loosing their root. So I'm guessing yes. It is also still able to look for updates which leads me to believe that it is possible.

[Ornate TrueSmart] martinbogo1:
So, as we all know the Omate TrueSmart is as waterproof as a leaky boat, or perhaps a sponge.

However, I don't think there are any other Horologists on the forum at the moment. ( wikipedia horologist http:// en.wikipedia.org /wiki/horologist ).

After looking at the "seals" on the case buttons, and the laughable o-ring that Umeox/Omate have chosen to use on the back, along with the piece of silicone flap that they are using to seal the SIM card... I have to say that expecting it to be water resistant to any degree is a bit laughable.

So, I have a solution, the same one used by Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Citizen, Seiko, etc.. etc...

* Liquid silicone sealant gel on the SIM card seal and flap.

* Replace the silicone o-rings for the watch back with a thin silicone gasket, with more sealant gel

* Retrofit and replace the button seals, or create black silicone button covers that better seal them

I'm going to have to look at the speaker port on the watchband. I don't know if there is a simple solution there to make it compliant for 1 meter depth without severely affecting the quality of the sound output from that port. A brief examination makes it seem that the port -might- be able to take IP67 conditions .. but without reinforcement, I doubt it could take the forces involved in a swim, waves, wakes, spas.

Still, I think I can put together a kit, and instructions that careful and diligent people could use to retrofit the TrueSmart to make it far more waterproof than the manufacturer does. The kit would cost between $15 and $25 US, mostly to cover the cost of making custom molds for the silicone gaskets. ( There is a local TechShop here in Austin, and I have a CNC mill to make the aluminum molds, and all the design experience and software I need. Even so, a small super-accurate mold is a couple hundred dollars worth of materials and work. )

If there is enough interest evidenced here on a poll, I'll make the kit.

Sincerely,

Martin Bogomolni

[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Need to redesign the case so that the speaker is sealed as well.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kilroo:
I've read that the O-rings are different among different runs. If the shape of the part of the case they fit against is different as well, wouldn't that make this effort require potentially as many different molds as the number of firmwares Loki has been trying to contend with? Or is it just the ring that's been different?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
The case design is different. There's at least two maybe three.
[Ornate TrueSmart] martinbogo1:
Then that means I'll need to make two or three variants of the kit. This will also require some externally-visible way to identify the differences between various batches of TrueSmart watches.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
I think, just an opinion, that if the gasket between the body and the back cover has holes for the screws to pass through it like on my Last of the Kickstarter Dev Eds, 1/8/1900, delivered first of the USA group in early Feb, then that gasket works if properly placed and screwed together. The housing on these is flat, without raised screw hole posts and no groove.

I think the main problem you are going to need to overcome is the buttons and the mic pinhole leaking.

The speaker, if it doesn't mind getting wet itself, provides no entry path into the body if the wire set going in has been properly sealed inside (white sealant on mine, I think). Water could destroy the speaker, OK maybe, but not the watch unless it can follow the speaker connections back up into the body. Where the band halves meet the body on both sides there is a hole through the body to let the cables through, sealed inside with some white stuff. Maybe sealed...
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
The speaker is inside the case (under the square "bump" in the backplate) and uses nothing more than double sided tape. It is partly held into place by the plastic insert.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
What is that open slot for then, in the band on the speaker side ?

Where the sound comes out ?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Yep. (see attached image)
[Ornate TrueSmart] Helgaiden:
Yes I was also curious about how the waterproofness of the speaker and microphone port would be approached. But I'm definitely down for one of these.
[Ornate TrueSmart] fg:
For what it's worth, I've submerged (no more than 2ft) my NA 1gb/8gb OTS and used it in the shower after having opened the bottom. During the first week I was constantly checking inside the case for internal moisture and didn't see any. It's been a while, but I remember thinking the physical buttons looked like they would let water in if used while underwater, but that didn't seem to happen.

for giggles, my omate arrived with bad software, and only pulling the battery would fix it. I had first tried letting the battery die out but the vcom drivers didn't fully take until i pulled the battery, so the water seal warranty was moot from early on. I don't remember how long I waited, but I sent the following screen to cecilia and a few other mailboxes at omate for help with no response (surprise!) before pulling the battery and stepping through the restore guides.

Looking back, I can't even imagine how the bootloader got to be so trashed! Volume up and down you say?
[Ornate TrueSmart] vicer:
I am in. Also shared on G+ and KS comments the poll, good luck!
[Ornate TrueSmart] RedHerring:
Yep

I'm definitely in support of this. I created a kayaking app that is pretty useless with the watch the way it is... having this kit out there would be great.
[Ornate TrueSmart] DerUhrmacher:
Hi. I am a watchmaker (horlogist?) from Germany and its my daily job to make watches watertight.

I have access to professional measuring devices for checking the watches if they are sealed. It is testet via air pressure, no water. The watchcase deformation is measured by fine sensors and if it is deforming in the given parameters then the device says proof or leak. There are ranges from -0,8 Bar to +20 Bar.

Further tests to locate the leak are made with water tests.

I havent received my pre ordered true smart yet (but I own a simvalley AW-414.go). Before I would test the true smart I would like to know how much pressure it could take before the screen brakes.
[Ornate TrueSmart] lphovercraft:
After the long wait and seeing this IPx7 drama unfold, I decided to just flip my TrueSmart on delivery - and flog it on eBay/Amazon without ever opening the box. Depending on the delivery timeline and other factors (such as the impending release of the Polar V800 and Garmin fenix 2) I may reconsider that strategy if this "aftermarket waterproofing" plan gains momentum.

I checked the option to be willing to pay for professional install (having waited this long - and the fact that the V800 is another $100 more expensive than the TrueSmart) but I'm more than happy to do the install myself if the kit is solid. From what I gather in the initial post, it's going to be a far sight better than the factory seal. So, if I keep my TrueSmart I'd be in for either the home install or the pro install option.

FWIW - I could care less about using this phone in **** Tracy mode [trademark pending]. For my money, stuff a grommet in the ports and glue/seal them in place - my goal is to use the device for training.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
In a pressurized submersion test it will fill with water before anything else. The case was never tested beyond about 0.015 Bar and even then it wasn't tested properly (bare case, no buttons or straps and all the ports sealed in 15cm of water).

Them doing something as simple as not putting in the speaker right or the double sided tape not seal correctly on the speaker will negate any water resistance it may have had.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tilton53:
Had any luck looking into this?
[Ornate TrueSmart] voz79:
I would definitely be interested in a kit to improve waterproofing...
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
Me too ! I don't see a survey, maybe Tapatalk does not support surveys ?

I bought a NeverWet spray set from HomeDePot recently. They show how to treat an iPhone 5 by removing the back cover and spraying inside. I don't have an iPhone or I might try it. Wouldn't care...the stuff worked pretty good on my shoes though.
[Ornate TrueSmart] ignorantguru:
In the meantime...

Hi horologists,

I was wondering: is there anything a layman could do in the meantime to, at least, improve the water sealing on the TrueSmart? I'm not interested in submerging it or taking a shower; I just don't want to be afraid that my watch will short if I get stuck in rain and put it in my pocket.

One of the things I obviously don't want to be doing is just smearing vaseline all over it as that'll ruin the silicone components, correct? I am currently purchasing silicone grease (dielectric so non-conductive) to improve the seals on the bottom and around the sim card case. What should I do about the buttons? Can I put more grease around their edges? Would vaseline be apprpriate there, since it's coming in contact with my skin and there seems to be no silicone gaskets? What's the best quick fix for buttons?

Sorry if these questions are stupid but... this is admittedly coming from a place of utter ignorance. : )

Take care and thanks very much.
[Ornate TrueSmart] martinbogo1:
Hi there ...

For now, treat your watch like you would your SmartPhone. Try not to dunk it in water, and keep it away from strong water sprays and strongly humid conditions (like your bathroom after you take a shower).

-Martin
[Ornate TrueSmart] martinbogo1:
Status Update:

I have found four different versions of the TrueSmart watch so far, as far as important considerations for seals/gaskets and kits are concerned.

So far I:

Tested a silicone lubricant for water proofing the seals

Modeled a soft, flexible and wider silicone seal to replace the small O-ring seal on the watch back cover.

Button cap covers have been handed to a 3D CAD designing service to make a mold with.

Am Investigating how water resistant the speaker grill is, and the audio slot in the watch band.

Assuming there are ~100 people willing to purchase kits, it seems the production of a waterproofing kit is viable. I may have to look into either doing an indigogo or kickstarter though. Ironic that we need ANOTHER kickstarter to repair the watch, but there you go.

-Martin
[Ornate TrueSmart] Helgaiden:
Awesome keep up the good work
[Ornate TrueSmart] rhineymac:
The ts 2 is being introduced in sept. So I'm not sure if the ts we have now will be worth fixing. With the lack of support now I can't see there being any support once the next version is introduced
[Ornate TrueSmart] martinbogo1:
It's always worth improving what you have!!! One of the reasons that the XDA forums exist is to give new life to android devices that are flawed, past their prime, or whose manufacturers stopped supporting them.

I have CyanogenMod 10.1 running on my HTC One V. That's KITKAT on a One V. With only one problem, native camera support.

This is a tough challenge, for a lot of reasons. I now have measurements on at least four variants (and someone may have found a

fifth!

)

I have solutions for the following issues now:

* Antenna penetrations to watchband

* Back case o-ring is too small to be effective

* Screw "washer/gaskets" are tiny and break apart

* SIM card flap / screws are leaky

I am still working on a set of very hard problems:

* Speaker grille is open to the air, no seals

* Watch buttons break easily

* Watch buttons have no silicone seal

From an engineering standpoint, these are hard things to retrofit if the designer didn't bother to try in the first place. However, I do see evidence on my recently shipped watch that some effort was spent on trying to seal things up. This gives me a bit of hope that I can finish the job right.

--Martin
[Ornate TrueSmart] lphovercraft:
Any thoughts on this? I just received my unit and am going to work on getting the firmware/software/config up to date. I'm still in limbo on whether to flog this and just buy a Polar V800 or just bite the bullet and keep the device (and continue using my FT1/coded band while swimming). I'm not sure whether what you're considering is going to have direct impact on what I decide to do - but I thought I'd ping the thread to see if anything had developed since this last post. Thanks.

[Ornate TrueSmart] SparkyRih:
How did the TS ever pass IP67 rating? Or did it never get it?
[Ornate TrueSmart] thermalboyz:
probably used liquidpel (Nano Coating) for test device to get IP67.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
LLP sealed the all the holes then put it in a bucket with 15cm of water, no bands, no button, no PCB. Didn't leak so it must be IP67. So it wasn't tested as that does not meet IEC requirements for IP67.
[Ornate TrueSmart] lphovercraft:
I would say "unbelievable" but actually - now - I totally believe that.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
LLPen did say the test was done by them, Omate, and that it involved only 15cm on water over the top of the device. They neglected the additional test requirement where the bottom of the device must have at least 1 meter of water over it as well. He did not say publicly that I saw anything about sealing up all the holes, but I think one would have had too to get the watch to survive even the 15cm test they claim to have performed successfully.

In other words, the whole claim of ip67 is based on an inadequate self-performed test that did not really test for ip67. Par for the course for Omate. The TrueSmart is not even vaguely ip67 water-resistant as many owners have already discovered. The cake is a lie.
[Ornate TrueSmart] SparkyRih:
LOL

No but seriously, you have to send your device to some lab to get that rating right? And the AW420 should also have IP67 as I recall... And I think that I read sometime during the KS project that there was Nano coating on the electronics.....

I was planning on testing the waterproofness with one of my units, but I've seen too many people that messed up their TS, so than it's not worth it...

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Do you think you can find that statement? Not that I don't believe you, it does sound plausible since the TS has never been proven to be IP67... Now that I think about it, if I would've manufactured an IP67 smartwatch a video of it being in water would be on the internet already (no, the guy in the swimming pool is wearing a dummy, don't fall for it!)
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Here ya go

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LaurentLePen/posts/2HykEjSvtFF

Oh yeah. He also did not not test any of the lower certifications either which if I understand the IEC documentation (yes I do have a copy of the official docs) correctly, is a requirement.
