zANTI2 PIE error in CM12 Android 5 Lollipop

Dear all,

I was able to use network security apps like SSLStrip, dSploit and zANTI2 on Android 4.4.x

After I migrated to Cyanogenmod12 unofficial releases, I found above apps not working anymore, but fortunately zANTI2 gives an error at least in MITM section which is exactly the same issue introduced in this topic :

error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported

I flashed the zip at the first post but nothing changed except SystemUI crash at OS start up !

Now what to do ?

Any way to get rid of this error and make those apps working ?

Regards

PIE Question - Nexus 5

I recently rooted my Nexus 5, and am still learning some of the basics. When attempting to open some apps I receive the error (in my SuperSU log) "only position independent executables (PIE) are supported". How do i go about "flashing" this .zip file to fix the error? Are there some basic instructions located somewhere on the forum? Sorry for my ignorance.

You should find instructions on installing TWRP recovery. Then you can flash this .zip file from the recovery ;)

Does this work for Android 5.1?

I just got an update notification but I am sure I'll run into the PIE security check issue again if I do update... Has anybody tried this for 5.1 and what was the result?

UPDATE: I just tried and it caused an error message to appear after boot that there was insufficient storage on the system. So I reverted the change.

Sixaxis on 5.0.1

Hey guys I'm running Resurrection Remix v5.3.7 which is Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Galaxy Tab 2 and every time I open the sixaxis 0.8.1 it tells me to enable controller in settings, so I hit "OK" and then it says " unfortunately, settings has stopped". This happens EVERYTIME. The older versions I have the same problems u guys have with PIE thingy. So is there a fix to my problem about the settings stopping?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [Halcyon]:
The same thing happened to one of my friends. Sadly, for some reason no one has answered you, and many other people aren't getting answered. So I'm gonna give it my best shot. I have a Moto X 2014, and like many people, I stumbled upon the PIE error. So I researched for a bit, and found a post by cernekee, which you have found too, i suppose. It was for bypassing pie on the nexus 5, but I tried it on my Moto X 2014 anyways. As soon as I applied it, i didn't have any root permissions. I found it pretty weird, and decided to reboot my phone. I was stuck in a boot loop :/.

-->THE FIX<--

Basically, I had TWRP recovery installed, and the CyanogenMod 13 ZIP file in my downloads folder. All I did was wipe everything except for internal memory (where I had my file). Then I flashed it, and my phone was working fine again. I'm suspecting you don't have a ZIP file for a ROM on your phone. If you do, then just do what I did. If you don't, this is the only thing I think you can do. You need to download the ROM that comes with your phone or any other ROM you wish to flash, put it on an SDCard, and try and flash it to your phone (wipe everything before flashing). It should now work fine. Oh wait. The nexus 5 doesn't have an SDCard slot. You need to download the ROM on a USB stick, get a cable with Mini USB on one end and a USB port on the other end, and hope you can flash the ROM from there. If you can't, try downloading the ROM on a computer and passing the files to your phone, then flashing it. If none of the above works, go to a store and get it fixed there. It'll cost you about 80-90$, which sucks I know, but it's the last resource. Well, I hope my long ass post helped you! Good luck!

[Nook Touch General] dc72:
can't re-register: help please

I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675706 and successfully rooted and installed android on my new NST Glowlight. Sadly, I didn't take a back-up image of the device before rooting.

After I got it working I decided I would like to use my main Google account rather than the alternate one I had used, both for Barnes and Noble and for Android on the device. I thought that I could delete my account from the device and start again, so I used the trick of resetting the device by holding down the lower left and right page turn keys for 30 seconds then choosing to reset to factory settings.

Since doing this, every time I attempt to re-register with Barnes & Noble it tells me "ERROR Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook, please shut down your device and try again". I have tried using Clockwork Recovery to wipe all the partitions it can access. I went to the Barnes & Nobles site to see if I had a device registered and although I have an account there with the Gmail address I used it says there is no device registered, so I can't "de-register" from there.

I tried the hold down the power button for 15 seconds after the screen flashes black and repeat six times, and nothing doing there.

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

[MENTION=4956459]dc72[/MENTION],

Well, you have a couple of options here.

First, if you don't absolutely need to have B&N on your Nook, you can bypass the sign-in step by holding the top-right hard button and sliding your finger right-to-left across the top of the screen at the "Welcome to Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight" screen, pressing "Factory", holding the top-right hard button and tapping the bottom-right corner of the screen at the "Factory" screen, and tapping "Skip Oobe".

Second, if you do need B&N, try using the NookManager "Restore factory.zip" feature to factory-image-wipe your Nook.

:good:
[Nook Touch General] dc72:
Thank you!

Brilliant! The first procedure got me in to the ereader. So I know I can reinstall android now and bypass B&N.

Ideally I would like to have it as it was out the box again though. I don't have a back-up image as yet and because my device is now rooted I was not sure that NookManager would be able to create a clean one.

I don't want to mess things up any further than I have, so can you confirm that in my particular scenario, on the rooted NST Glowlight, I can create and restore a Factory.zip?

I was under the impression that since I have rooted I can no longer create a factory image. I will await your investigation and response before meddling further. Thank you!

EDIT: Actually I'm sure you have already thought of all that, so I'm going to trust you and go ahead with your suggestion to use Nookmanager. I'm sure it will work exactly as described! Thank you so much!

EDIT 2: I don't actually need B&N at all and would kind of rather not have them pushing books at me I have no interest in etc, so thank you greatly for the method to bypass that! Can you tell me will I be able to install 1337 rom from this thread now with my NST Glowlight in it's current state? I'm a bit reluctant to install CWM over the top of the existing recovery system so would try it from the micro SD I think.

[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
[MENTION=4956459]dc72[/MENTION],

Glad my suggestions helped! :)

One thing you need to understand, though - factory.zip is not something that can be created or modified. Factory.zip is the original factory image that your device came with out-of-the-box.

Backups are the things that can be created and restored. You can create a backup absolutely any time, even if your device is rooted. In fact, creating a backup when you first root is a great idea, because if something messes up in the future, you can restore the backup that's already rooted, and you won't have to go through the rooting process all over again.

EDIT - Yes, you most certainly can install 1337 ROM over your current rooted state. You will need to just follow the installation instructions to the letter, and then you'll be good to go. :D
[Nook Touch General] dc72:
So to install 1337 I have to install CWR to the actual Nook? Considering that with your help the standard recovery has pulled me out a hole I'm not sure I want to loose that at this point.

Can 1337 be installed using CWR from SD, what is the reason it's advised to install it to the Nook directly, and can the NST Glowlight still be reset to factory the way you directed me earlier after following the current 1337 install instructions?

Much appreciate your help and instruction!
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
It doesn't matter whether or not CWM is installed on your NST - you just need to be able to boot into it, which, of course, can be done by simply writing the image to the sdcard, turning off the Nook, plugging the sdcard into the Nook, and turning the Nook back on. Installation is recommended, but optional.

The Nook can be factory-image-reset using the NookManager method whether or not CWM is installed as the default recovery. FYI, I personally also have an NST GlowLight, and I have had CWM installed on it for many months. It's much better than the stock recovery. ;)
[Nook Touch General] dc72:
You're a star! I will take your advice and go for the 1337 install with CWM installed on the Nook. I also have a Kobo touch with android installed on it, and really like the interface they have used. It works really well! I got the NST Glow for the light and the text looked clearer in the shop... Looking forward to trying the 1337 upgrade! Big thanks!

I just purchased nook glowlight new.

I cannot find what version it is (is not listed in the box).

B&N online also keeps the version number obscure.

Can't find out how to find the version in the settings.

It has the white frame. have some questions prior to my giving up and returning.

.1. How do I find out what the model number is?

(assume it is the BNRV500 but am not sure).

2. most of the memory I find out after purchased is reserved for B&N downloads (2 gb) so there is only .5 gb for my own personal supply.

If I cannot root to unlock the 2 gb, I will likely return the thing. Can I unlock the memory via rooting, or is there another way to do this?

3. How do I root the thing (if it will unlock the memory).

Thanks

Answers to your questions in red.

I just purchased nook glowlight new. Good choice!

I cannot find what version it is (is not listed in the box). If you mean the software version, it's 1.3.1.

1. How do I find out what the model number is?

(assume it is the BNRV500 but am not sure). I have an idea, but I don't know for sure. Can you tell me if there's a Device Info page and/or an About Your NOOK page?

2. Can I unlock the memory via rooting, or is there another way to do this? I think this has been achieved before, but I'm not 100% sure. If so, it's probably beyond my level. Search these forums a bit.

3. How do I unroot the thing (if it will unlock the memory)? Unrooting can be achieved by a simple factory reset.

[Nook Touch General] jun127:
Is it possible to use the current screen as the sleep wallpaper? As in, instead of displaying a wallpaper when the Nook automatically goes to sleep, simply show the last static image on the device. For example, you're reading a book and you put the book down for a few hours. When you come back the last page is still on the screen, but the nook is asleep. You don't have to wake it up to finish reading the page/map/flashcard etc. One of the primary benefits of e-ink is that you can have static images displayed indefinitely without additional battery drain, it would be nice to take advantage of this instead of just using it to display standard wallpapers.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
[MENTION=1182407]leiko49[/MENTION], no, rooting your Nook Glow will not free up any memory - rather, it will take up more!

This can be achieved in two ways (thanks, [MENTION=5548765]nivieru[/MENTION]!):

• This app, which takes a screenshot every 01:50 and uses it as the screensaver; or

• Editing /system/framework/services.jar to not use the screensaver when the Nook sleeps, which is discussed here.
[Nook Touch General] nivieru:
Hi jun, there are two ways to achieve this,

the first is with this app, that takes a screenshot every 110 seconds and makes it the screensaver.

the second is by making the screensaver invisible, which is a bit more complicated than installing an app. It is detailed in this thread
[Nook Touch General] erikalin:
Hi there, First, nice job creating this useful thread. :good: I'll thank and like in a min...This is not my device and I'm trying to help someone out. My question to clarify, if I may:

Since simple factory reset unroots, by using the factory.zip Restore via Nook Manager, am I all set for a warranty claim? She had a custom launcher on here, with Kindle reader and other apps, obviously superuser in there, etc. I went through factory.zip via Nook Manager, and the device is reset. Like, "Hi, welcome to Nook. Press this button to begin tutorial..."

Since this device isn't familiar to me, I have to ask if I'm missing something. On some devices there's more to do, things to "re-lock" and all that. Using factory.zip, has the superuser app been wiped, and anything else that indicates tampering is removed... so this should be all set for warranty return? Thanks in advance. :highfive:

Edit: [MENTION=5981373]thenookieforlife3[/MENTION] - I just noticed that your goal is to join the RC team. Good effort! ;)
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
Great to have an RC in here! :)

First of all, thanks for the nod - I do try to help everybody I can with this device, as it's my specialty. ;)

To answer your question, if you execute the "Restore factory.zip" NookManager feature, it very literally doesn't just wipe the device - it restores the entire device to the image it came with from the factory, hence "factory.zip". Since, of course, when it came off the assembly line, the Nook had no Superuser or root mods of any kind, the Nook is 100% back to regular, and is all set for a warranty claim.

On the subject of the warranty claim, however… I just hope B&N is still accepting NST devices. They stopped selling them a while back. Just keep this in mind so that you're not too disappointed when/if the lady at the help desk says "Oh, I'm sorry, but we don't accept Nook Touches anymore."

Hope this helps! :D

EDIT - [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION], thank you for the RC encouragement. :good:
[Nook Touch General] erikalin:
Thanks for confirming. Yeah, I talked with the girl at the desk of the local B&N by phone re: warranty claim. It's all set - they just need to get it in hand, thus the restore. Since I don't know this system at all, just wanted to see that I wasn't overlooking anything. Good luck XDA-ing. :highfive:
[Nook Touch General] OverByter:
Unfortunately the ONLY way to get a NST with/without glolight from B&N is through warranty exchange, when I did it a few months back I received one in a sealed certified pre owned box that appeared brand new without a single mark on it and the second one was in fact a sealed brand new device.

OB
[Nook Touch General] Igjarjuk:
Thanks! I think I'll get an NST soon.

I am just a bit confused by the installation descriptions on the two recent ROMs, which respectively read:

That made me wonder if a B&N account is still some kind of weird requirement to get up and running. Hard to say for sure without having seen the normal device setup first.
[Nook Touch General] :
[MENTION=5006730]Igjarjuk[/MENTION], thankfully, a B&N account is not required. You can skip the B&N login interface (called Oobe) by following the instructions here.
