[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossBeats:
Hello all,

Today I read a lot of posts here about rooting my phone because I was done with the stock UI.

I went for it and now I think I made a mistake, I would like your help. I read some similair posts, but I cant find a true solution for my problem.

My goal is to run CM 11, I have a stock LG 802 config with 4.2.2.

My steps were as followed:

- I used towelroot v3 wich was succesful

- I installed and ran D802 autorec (wich i guess was a bad idea). I got to recovery mode and I wanted to back up first.

- I made a back up of boot and system

- After the back up, I had to reboot

- NOW its stuck in a boot sequence to nothing. Just a light green and blue. I get the logo and I can get in the stock recovery it seems. Should I reset to factory settings?? Is that data still present?

I hope I can go from there, but after my major fail Im afraid to try it.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossBeats:
Update

I can get into download mode and LG Support Tool finds a phone, but the specs do not match and the update states that there is not any update available, wich there is.

When I get into recovery mode I can get into TWRP and I should be able to continu the process with flashing and wiping. The CM mod and Gapps are already on the internal memory. But I am really afraid.

For the record I did not flash or wipe anything yet, except for running Autorec and rebooting after prompt.

The real question for me is (I guess), is Autorec really unsupported with 4.2.2?

I would like to go on with the process, but I also would like to go back stock if needed in the future (hence the recovery back up I made with TWRP before the bootloop.)

Thanks again for any help what so ever

Just complete the installation and it works on my D838. The language is English.

Here is the steps.

1.Download the zip(FAT32) above and put into internal SD Storage.

2.Reboot to recovery mode.

3.Install zip from /sdcard then reboot. It's done.
[LG G Pro 2] JohnnyInBriz:
I just installed the Tweaked 20C firmware for D838 twn and it's working fine but when I rebooted into recovery it was unable to access the external SDCard. The 64GB card I have is formatted exFAT. Is there any log that I could post that might help resolve this?
[LG G Pro 2] jaypah89:
functions working?

hi, is all the functions working? most important for me is backup restore.. I'm afraid to flash any rom if I can not backup my current ROM.. I'm on 4.4 stock rooted. we are kind of lacking full guide or tutorial compare to other phone.. I'm on d838 32gb
[LG G Pro 2] Aserar:
Anyone tried it with d838 10b? Perhaps the 16gb?

Also (sorry if this question is obvious), I'm currently on kk 4.4.2. If i installed this recovery, do I have to flash lollipop at the same time? Meaning, Is there a problem with running this recovery with 4.4.2?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricebun:
Hi guys,

I'm running a different boot.img that was flashed from command line to get CWM, which I used to install Paranoid Android and rom-hop to things like CM11. It's been great having a familiar interface when going between AOSP ROMs, but I'd like to return to stock.

So far, it looks like the main method is to use FlashTool and the various FTFs for Sony ROMs. How does FlashTool behave on devices like mine (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, AOSP ROM)? Is it safe to use in this situation? What will become of my boot.img if FlashTool is successful?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
This seems like a fairly basic questions. Have you read about flashtool in their thread? Or searched?

How does it behave? Quite well. Flashtool has nice manners(not sure what your expecting here)

Is it safe? Yes

What happens to boot image? This is a bit complicated. I'd you check the box that says exclude kernel then nothing but if you don't check the box it does it flashes a stock boot.img

Why don't you just flash a stock zip in recovery? It's a lot easer, no need for computer.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricebun:
Thanks for the response. I was mostly asking this because no matter where I look, stock firmware seems to only come in FTF and I'm not familiar with handling that particular file type. Seems impossible to find an up-to-date site that carries them in ZIP, and I'd been meaning to give FlashTool a try at some point anyway, was just wondering if there were any dangers involved with it when flashing back to stock.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
If I wanted just to get back to stock sony, I'd just flash something like this in recovery ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2929402)

If i wanted to get back to 100% stock to debug an issue, if flash the ftf file.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420benz:
After moving to a new location my Note 4 has very bad service using Verizon. AT&T told me that i would need to buy a new phone in order to use there service. Is there any way around this. My phone is only 9Mos,. old.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420benz:
Anyone Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LTE-X:
AT&T currently utilizes Band 2(1900 MHz), 4(1700MHz), 5(800MHz) and 17(700MHz) for its wireless service. Not all bands are present in all areas, so please contact AT&T support to find out which bands are being utilized in your specific area.

SM-N910V, Verizon Galaxy Note 4, is unlocked out of the box and supports band 2, 4 operations; therefore yes you may use it on AT&T. Just keep in mind, once again, you will not receive any service if band 2 or band 4 are not present in your area.

Also, you may here from some people that Verizon is a CDMA carrier and AT&T is GSM carrier. Many will inform you that you will not be able to use the device because two carriers are using different protocols, however all wireless services are compatible with each other. This is exactly how your device operates overseas when you are roaming. Only difference making here is the radio frequency that you phone can receive. If your phone supports the frequency, you can use it.

Hello Everyone!

Someone made a gift from China to my girlfriend and it was an Original Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G9006W China Unicom

It dosent appear a way to install ANY GOOGLE Apps, not at all, only it has a Samsung Store that didnt even have Whatsapp, I had to install Whatsapp downloading an apk in the PC, transferring and installing. I did it with Youtube app and Google Play app but none of them work, they open and close instantly, Facebook dont install either

I already tried rooting it and still nothing works...is like this one dont like things by google or facebook :crying:

MY QUESTION: Is there a way to Install another original firmware over the one that it came with? :confused:

Please, it would be very apprecieated if you could lead the way :D

One Word... HELP

Dropped Moto G In Sink. Cant turn off as screen completely ununresponsived. Happen 20 mins ago. Skype: samtenny
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominati:
I would suggest removing the back cover and opening up the phone by removing the screws securing the rear housing. You can then access the battery and gently pry it up and disconnect it. Be very careful of you try this as you could get a shock since it's been wet. You can then place the phone in a bag of uncooked rice to dry it out. There are videos on YouTube on how to remove the battery. It's fairly easy. But don't do it unless you're confident. This may not save your phone as it may be permanently damaged.

This is what I'd do in your situation. I'm not responsible if you try this and anything goes wrong.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegamerchunk1:
If you didn't do it already, Turn the phone down. Like the above posts suggested, put it in rice to dry. My phone survived it, You should be fine.

[Sony Xperia M] Remorcer:
lol this tutorial is like a fix it macgyver style. If you still have the warranty of your phone you may want to take it to a service centre to get your connector/motherboard replaced. Try running this to check out the problem and what is causing it.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
[MENTION=4566947]Remorcer[/MENTION] It's not about just fixing the phone anymore. As the title says, this method charges the phone at least three or four times faster than normally. So personally, I still prefer this!
[Sony Xperia M] Remorcer:
Does the battery get hot?
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Nope. Just the actual charger
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Anyone wild enough to try it?
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
No, thanks.

I'm pretty sure this will damage battery in the long term:

1) Since you're feeding the battery directly, there's no circuit to cut off power after the battery is fully charged and most chargers will keep a low current, even after the battery is fully charged. Forget your phone plugged and bad things may happen.

2) If something goes wrong during the charging, your phone would interrupt the charging process to prevent issues, that won't happen here since you're feeding the battery directly.

3) You're feeding the battery with 5V while the charging voltage of most batteries (including the BA900 commonly used in Xperia M) is around 4.2V (and that may vary depending of the battery temperature). This voltage variation is correctly calculated by the phone accordingly to the temperature of the battery during the charging process and that won't happen when you feed it directly. In the long term, this also degrades your battery life and may render it unchargeable at all.

4) You're feeding 5V directly in the battery and in the phone board too, while most ICs have tolerable input voltages, in the long term this may also damage phone's board or other sensible ICs since it's expecting something around 3.7-4.2V and you're giving 5V.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
I know you're probably right about everything you just said. However. I leave my phone to charge in this method over night. It charges to full and stops after that, normally. It may have longterm effects on the battery, however, I cannot charge my phone and other way. My warranty has ran out, so this is pretty much all I have. I've been using this method for around 3 months now. I don't have battery drainage. My phone works completely fine.
[Sony Xperia M] unsuitable:
It Works

Thanks. It works.... :D:D:D I am wild enough to do.:highfive:
[Xposed General] NoFatLaurent:
Hi everybody,

I am working on an app that cannot run on a rooted device due to security reasons. In this purpose, 3 methods are used to check if the device is rooted. One of them is the following :

public static boolean checkRootMethod3() {
if (new ExecShell().executeCommand(SHELL_CMD.check_su_binary) != null) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
/**
* @author Kevin Kowalewski
*/
class ExecShell {

public static enum SHELL_CMD {
check_su_binary(new String[] { "/system/xbin/which", "su"
}), ;

String[] command;

SHELL_CMD(final String[] command) {
this.command = command;
}
}

private static String LOG_TAG = ExecShell.class.getName();

public ArrayList<String> executeCommand(final SHELL_CMD shellCmd) {
String line = null;
final ArrayList<String> fullResponse = new ArrayList<String>();
Process localProcess = null;

try {
localProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(shellCmd.command);
} catch (final Exception e) {
return null;
// e.printStackTrace();
}

final BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
localProcess.getInputStream()));

try {
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
fullResponse.add(line);
}
} catch (final Exception e) {
if (ThalerMobileConfig.DEBUG) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

return fullResponse;
}

The issue is that this method returns true for the OnePlus One mobile phone although it is a non-rooted device. I try to check if the device is running on CyanogenMod in order to bypass the check but I do not manage to do it. Here are 2 methods that I tried :

1)

private static boolean isCyanogenMod() {
String version = System.getProperty("os.version");
if (version.contains("cyanogenmod")) {
return true;
}
return false;
}

2)

String version = "";
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("uname -a");
InputStream in = p.getInputStream() ;
int c;
while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
version += (char)c;
}
in.close();
if (version.contains("cyanogenmod")) {
return true;
}
return false;
} catch (Exception ex) {
return false ;
}

The issue with the first method is that only the first line of the kernel is returned and the word cyanogenmod is not detected.

The issue with the second method is that the following error message is returned :

"java.io.IOException: Error running exec(). Command: [uname, -a] Working Directory: null Environment:null"

Could you please help me to :

Find how to get the full string of the kernel version with method 1)

OR

Find how to manage to run the command uname -a with method 2)

OR

Any other solution to detect a rooted device without confusion with Cyanogenmod.

Thanks a lot for you help and sorry if it seems trivial for you but I am not an Android Expert.

Best Regards,

Laurent

For detecting CM, simply use Build public API. You don't need to use xposed for that.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html
[Xposed General] adlx.xda:
There are many other properties you could check to see if the phone is running CM, like here one a Oneplus One running CM12 :

~$ getprop | grep cm

[audio.offload.pcm.16bit.enable]: [true]

[audio.offload.pcm.24bit.enable]: [true]

[ro.cm.device]: [bacon]

[ro.cm.display.version]: [12-20150312-NIGHTLY-bacon]

[ro.cm.releasetype]: [NIGHTLY]

[ro.cm.version]: [12-20150312-NIGHTLY-bacon]

[ro.cmlegal.url]: [https://cyngn.com/legal/privacy-policy]

[use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip]: [true]

~$ getprop | grep cyan

[ro.build.host]: [cyanogenmod]

[ro.error.receiver.system.apps]: [org.cyanogenmod.bugreport]

[ro.rommanager.developerid]: [cyanogenmodnightly]

~$

What I don't really understand is why you focus on detecting CM. Is it just because by chance you happened to try on a OPO with CM? To me it just rings a bell that the first check is just not really fit for your purpose here. There are thousands of roms our there that derives from CM, and won't have the CyanogenMod word wherever you try to find it, on thousands of different device models, with dozens of different Android versions.

If the security of the app relies on checking that the device isn't rooted, I feel it's a bad security by design.

Btw there's an Xposed module called root cloak that is made to fool apps that try to detect root, so don't try to hard, it will probably not be worth it.

What you can do is read about this root cloak module as IIRC it details what root detection methods it can fool, so you can learn about root detection methods.

Hope that can help you, I'm not trying to discourage you.

Hi

I want to buy a Galaxy Gear Fit but unfortunately I see the only way to set an alarm on this watch is via Bluetooth with phone.

I have an S4 but I don't want to use the bluetooth over night in order to have the alarm in the morning because it drains battery and I don't want to get notifications on the watch , I just love the watch .

My question is : Is there any stand-alone apps or is there a way in order to set an alarm on Galaxy Gear Fit without the phone ?
