[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Horse:
Thanks so much Winsuk for taking the time to reply.

You mentioned that unlocking the bootloader doesn't add anything for rooting but is it possible to install the SU zip using the stock recovery? I've read this guide and that guide for other HTC phones that seems to suggest that you can only do this by temporary flashing a custom recovery to install the SU zip. Is it not possible to install a zip using the stock recovery? I really want to do as little as possible and not touch the stock ROM or recovery if at all.

Also, I dont mind if the root is temp and is lost when restarting as I guess I would be able to install Titanium Backup and remove the factory apps I don't want (like FaceBook, Twitter,). Also, if I need to update the hosts file, once updated, if it is re locked by losing root after a restart then that's ok too.

Sorry if all these are too many questions, I'm not really a noob when it comes to rooting but for this little Gratia, there's not much info available and everything seems to be for the Aria which has a different baseband so very wary of flashing anything.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
No, the stock recovery only accepts packages signed by HTC.

You can flash it back on after if you extract it from the RUU though. RUU downloads here if you don't already have one: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Liberty

Leave the phone unplugged (just in case) and run the RUU.. Once it appears, open task manager and go to processes/details (depending on what Windows you have), right click ARUWizard.exe, and click open file location (or something similar).

In that folder will be rom.zip (copy it out for later use if you want) - open it and inside will be recovery.img :) (and everything else that could ever be on the phone pretty much)

If you don't have access to a Windows PC, let me know which RUU matches your phone and I can extract it for you. If there isn't one exactly matching your phone, any of them will probably work - I don't think the recovery image differs much, if at all...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Horse:
Thanks again Winsuk, much appreciated.

My current stock build is 47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13 and the build is 2.37.405.10 so those RUU's you linked are very old. I've found a slightly newer Gratia Froyo RUU at 2.37.405.11 so that should work and it;s the WWE version rather than Asia WWE.

I'm thinking the best way to do this might be to unlock the bootloader and temporarily install a custom recovery to flash SU.zip. On reboot, the temporary custom recovery is lost but I think the root is also lost too. Seems that S-Off is the only way to achieve permanent root but even that doesn't seem to work cleanly. Revolutionary says that if Titanium doesn't recognise a rooted device then install Busy Box.

Might just leave it unrooted as is :(

My Lenovo P780 was a piece of cake to root compared to HTC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MGArcher007:
Hey everyone!

First off, I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong area, as this is my first post here.

About two months ago, I used TowelRoot on my phone and achieved root status. Afterwards, I installed Xposed Framework and started loading modules. When AT&T pushed out an OTA update which updated the kernel, making rooting impossible once again, I did lose my root status. However, Xposed Framework and all of my modules remained installed and still function.

The interesting part is, after a reboot, I noticed that my boot splash screen says "Samsung Galaxy S5 Active", and "Custom" with the unlocked padlock at the bottom. Also, under device status, it says "custom" instead of "official".

I haven't attempted to flash a custom recovery on this phone, but what I'd really like to know is -- is my device's bootloader unlocked now, can I flash a recovery on it, and is there any ROM like a Cyanogenmod base that will be compatible with this phone? I haven't had any luck with researching it because everyone with the AT&T variant of this phone has a locked bootloader, so there hasn't been much opportunity to play with it.

I'd appreciate any help I can get on the matter. I'd like to see what this thing is capable of!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
Apparently there are many different circumstances under which the splash screen says custom, which have nothing to do with the bootloader being locked or unlocked. I seem to recall it showing up for people when they just switched to ART runtime, and in some cases it didn't even go back when they switched back to Dalvik. Many of the methods for making this not appear just involve cosmetically hiding it, not actually cleaning up whatever it is that is being detected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
What I wouldn't give to have this bootloader unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
If there is a dev that wants a s5 to experiment with to get the bootloader unlocked I'll be happy to donate my s5 if I can get it back after finding an exploit . But the dev needs to come with unanimous recommendation by the devs. Let me know I can still use my s3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MGArcher007:
Aw man, I was really hoping that the bootloader just somehow magically unlocked itself. Wishful thinking, I suppose. I love my S5 Active, I just wish I had a little more freedom with customizing it in ways like I could my S3.

I wonder if this is a result of Knox being disabled during the root... Either way, I hope I'll still receive OTA updates for things like 4.4.4 if they ever decide to release it, and eventually Android L.

For now, I can't complain -- surprisingly enough, even without root, my Xposed Framework still functions very well and I can still make backend and UI changes in GravityBox.

Regardless, thanks for all the replies, guys! I probably won't mess with trying to fix it unless they come out with an OTA update that I can't get as a result of this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
Sadly. ...We may never see the bootloader unlocked without a factory method...

It's encryption prevents us from even being able to open it into a usable state...

We need either an encryption key....or a new bootloader entirely...

Not happening any time soon....g

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
When I purchased my note 2, it came with a 50gb dropbox promo, which is pretty awesome, but it'll be expiring in a few weeks. Does anyone know, or has anyone mentioned another similar promo for the Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
Yes, they are still giving 48 GB free (above the 2 GB already free) for two years with new Samsung devices.

Edited to add: though it says "If you're new to Dropbox". So YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naruto.ninjakid:
Lol make a new Dropbox account that's what I'm doing anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
Microsoft gives 30GB by enabling auto photo upload. Not sure will it expire.

If DropBox gives 50GB for 2 years.. what then? Buy Note 5? :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
:laugh: Maybe!

It's a great offer, even if it's just to store some large Titanium Backup files.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
The OneDrive 30 GB should be permanent. I use OneDrive for photo backups. I don't really use my Dropbox for much any more. I guess I should start storing my TiBu backups there, that makes sense.

Since the DropBox promo is for 2 years, you can wait until the Note 6 to buy a new one. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bat0nas:
TiBackups require root. Right?

If I'm not mistaken if you root latest Samsung flagships you alter the security fuse (warranty issues; can't use encryption anymore or something).

Just not sure if I'll be a fan of rooting anymore. Not an issue with Nexus phone at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
All true. I'm on my Note 2 still at the moment, which is rooted. I want to put my TiBu backups on Dropbox for whenever I do change phones. obviously it will be useless if I get an AT&T Note 4, though.

I'm also interested in the new Nexus now that the rumors are pointing to basically a 5.92" Moto X with a big battery. We'll see what they ultimately reveal.

I'm not super concerned about warranty, and I will definitely root my new phone if it's rootable. I have enough lines at AT&T to bully my way into a free replacement. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Once you've used Xposed, ad blockers, titanium and other root tools that make our devices super-devices, there's no turning back! LOL :laugh:

If Samsung fails to cover a hardware problem because the device is rooted, they're gonna get sued.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhowiebkr:
I've searched around for a couple hours and couldn't figure out how to fix my situation.

I've tried installing the rom: OmniMetal-4.4.2-20140523-maguro

but it failed with:

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

* Verifying filesystems...

* Verifying partition sizes...

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/0/OmniMetal-4.4.2-20140523-maguro.zip'

I don't have a backup of the original rom on the device.

I've tried using ADB to push the original rom but I get:

error: device not found

Also in windows Device Manager the phone shows up as $ro.product.model which may be why ADB doesn't recognize it.

TWRP 2.3+ has sideload but that doesn't help me as I have 2.1.2 installed

Any help from you guys in getting my phone fixed would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

I've finally been able to connect to the phone with ADB and have fixed it.

Thank you for your kind answers...

I tried many threads/posts and none had working links of CM9 except uploaded.

I'm searching for a custom rom that can read .avi files and run large games like CSR racing without fc/crashing and that's better than stock ICS, sadly i'm still searching...

I can live without wifi direct, tethering, fm radio...

Any recommendations? I warn you that i alreadt tried many...and always end up returning to ICS :o

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] doc_boomd:
Hi! I would like to ask for some assistance, I recently bought a slightly used O2 XDA II mini, when I try to use my Smart or Sun cellular SIM card it fluctuates, maximum bar in the antenna logo is only 2.

Usually after 3-5 minutes even if you are on a good signal location, on its own, it losses its mobile signal. I tried doing a hard reset already. I used Auto-Config and checked Smart to configure.

Do you think its hardware problem?

Thank you in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
The Smart autoconfigure function is only to automatically apply the operator's settings for SMS, MMS, Wap, etc. and has nothing to do with the signal strength. Every time I'm in Manila for business, I notice that signal strength is not that good. I get around 2-3 bars on either the S100 or Nokia phones. In your signature you mention something quite interesting. It could be that the device has a hardware problem (most probably it has been droped, that's the reason why the owner sold it) or the technician is just fooling you (people would try anything to earn a buck). I never buy a used electronic device and/or car unless its from someone I know or has been recommended by a friend to avoid such problems.

Hi guys,

Not exactly a noob..

- got my new VK810 yesterday - JB 4.2.2;

- rooted with towelroot;

- installed SuperSU and BusyBox;

- declared myself a developer;

- checked USB debugging in the Developer options;

- installed the driver from LG website for VK810;

Now I connect it to my laptop, it is recognized immediately by the OS as VK810.

start command window, go to adb directory, run "adb devices" and..nothing.

If I connect my other android devices such as G3 etc they are recognized just fine.

What's wrong?

As a result, I cannot install TWRP.

It is likely that you have the wrong USB connection type set (This devices defaults to Media sync - MTP). Mine wasn't working either, but this fixed it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian Rubin:
Hey y'all, I apologize if this was covered elsewhere, but I did search and found no solution, so I'm posting here. I've got the problem other folks have, the WiFi is stuck "turning on". This began after the WiFi was having connectivity problems the other day, and I was refreshing it every so often to see if I could fix it. Now it's stuck in a "turning on" state that a factory wipe and two ROM/kernel combinations haven't fixed.

So I thought I'd try another tack. How do I force the WiFi into an "off" state. It seems to be stuck, and I've tried various ways to turn it off, such as widgets, power programs and the like, but nothing has held. I'm wondering, therefore, if there's another app I'm missing, or maybe I have to go into the terminal to do it, I'm not sure.

If, therefore, someone can tell me how to force the WiFi state on my phone to be switched to off, that would be amazing. Thanks so much for your time!
