desire 816

4.4.2

sense 6.0

I have changed out the front panel assembly which includes the ldc screen and the digitizer. after i booted up and programmed the phone i do nbot have service unless i am in an area that has LTE coverage. the CDMA covered areas i am not picking up a signal and if i do it is very weak. most times though i register as no service if there is no LTE coverage.

Can someone pls help. i feel i have something not getting a good connection inside that is preventing me from getting the CDMA signal.

Thanks

Hey guys, I got a problem with my galaxy core 4g. The thing is when i'm listening to music (doesn't matter if headphones, it happens even while on speaker) and when i open settings, the phone automatically changes its sound profile to sound+vibrate and mutes media, so everytime i have to set the volume again and change profile manually. :( Also when I'm done with configurating and wanna go to home screen the profile changes again and mutes media... Plz help me, cuz it's a pain in the bottom part... :rolleyes: The phone is rooted. ;c

what are the known bugs and how is the performance?

i dont have the device right now so cant install and test first hand..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ayon115:
At the first install of ROM without google apps , it runs good. It runs slow but you can live with that. UI looks pretty cool. But after flashing Google Apps , it gets slower and laggy. After playing a few hours, I removed the ROM and got back to Legacy Xperia CM-11 , it runs pretty good in this phone.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bmcclure937:
If this allows for flashing any system image does this mean custom ROMs are possible? Can we get a custom recovery or is everything flashed via mofo?

Finally, what limitations do we currently have in the process?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmbtech:
Can you flash more than one image for your device or do you have to pay $20 each time?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Character Zero:
I think write protection is controlled by the bootloader. This seems to fool the bootloader into loading in unsigned image but keeps the write protection set.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miketoasty:
No custom recovery or ROMs. That would require a full device unlock, this just allows us to modify the /system partition (Slightly).

There are some Xposed modules this will allow us to use (I know there was a Wifi tether enabler on my Moto Maxx that worked with write protection on).

If write protection is still on, what happens when you reboot?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
$20 is to get the ability to flash. You can flash as many times/images as you want after that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jaocagomez:
It's here
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] miketoasty:
Any changes you make to the system partition are basically reversed (Removing bloat apps won't do anything as they can't actually be removed). You can't really break anything but at the same time the uses are minimal at this point. This does open the door for some huge opportunities though!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmbtech:
Theoretically than, once lolipop gets released this should still work, assuming we can prevent booloader from being upgraded, and we can gain root without modifying kernel. Which brings me to my next question, can we modify a partition other than System?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] EvanLovesToast:
Alright, just my two cents here....

I think it's great that someone finally figured out how to get our device rooted but at the same time it's a little frustrating. This isn't really something that the general root user is going to tinker with because it requires extra time and knowledge. I'd say I'm a general user and I'm personally turned off by the idea of write protection still being on - therefore I'm not really interested in paying $20 when that's basically my spending money for a week (college life).

I appreciate the work that's being put into this, though. A few weeks from now we should have a pretty stable method and FAQ on how to root our phones without constant hang-ups that people seem to be experiencing.

I personally don't have an issue with a dev charging money. If you want to put time into something and you want to share it, it's your right to charge for it. That's how people make money. If you're going to do that, though, you need to put time and effort into customer service. Dev hasn't put up a decent FAQ, isn't responding to half the people who are asking for your help, and his answers are often quite vague. Then on top of that you make it quite clear that you aren't responsible for anything that people do to their phone. That's like me going to a store, asking a salesman for a computer, and them saying "This one is $400." and then simply saying "I have it. Works for me. You can't return it. If you have any questions maybe I'll give you some information. Maybe not."

Not very good sales technique...

BASIC REASONS PEOPLE ROOT

Adaway

Xposed

Greenify

Titanium

Sounds like most of these aren't a simple install, like they usually are. Why would the AVERAGE person pay $20 for something they don't even know how to use?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flowah:
They are literally getting paid for their work.

This is like saying that if you buy a TV at a store and start asking the store some questions about it that you're "complaining." What a ridiculous assertion. Don't pretend like the dev is doing some kind of charity work. He is *literally getting paid* for *each and every person who uses it.* Not even donations. Straight up paid.

Is it any wonder people want to know what is or is not supported before the cough up money? Are you in the habit of buying things without fully researching them?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TokedUp:
I asked this earlier and the reply I got was a slap on forehead or something stupid along those lines. A simple answer of yes or no would've saved time. Its OK though cuz its gonna asked again and again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
right now, i am going to guess the answer is no. this could possibly work, but [MENTION=5983610]JulesJam[/MENTION] would have already said a grandiose 'WOOT" if it did. maybe I'm wrong on that, but a simple Yes or No every 4th or 5th time would eventually have recursion and people would know for sure, so i agree it is a good question. ;)

that being said Tool is the best band I have ever seen and it's good to see people with common interests. (though i am not so tokedup myself these days man. (your signature)

totally unrelated, it would be awesome if it wasn't a PITA to do this on a mac. (i would have been modding a system.img instead of reading up on vm crap for windows). it's cool, i just wish someone doing exactly this on a mac could make it less of a pita.

Despite being broke as crap, I will gladly pay $20 for *whatever the f people want to call it" root once i get a functional OS that works. That being said, I will make my own personal version of the stock rom and will enjoy it far more than un-rooted stock. Thank you [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] . I am genuinely happy you didn't have to depend on the people that were FOS (EMS term for the majority of patients) in the $3420 bounty thread or the subsequent `$1k bounty thread. (maybe you have hit that, but i doubt it is that much. (171) Your work is helping all of us to have a better phone and has been a critical building block that *no one else managed to do* To all giving crap about this method, re-read that last sentence. Be glad you have what you have now. We could have nothing, but this is not only something now, but will yield something far greater. 2 week turn around, you really cannot complain.

This win7 iso finally is done. YAY.

I am still working on creating the pre-rooted system image file for the Moto X 2013. I have it pulled as a bunch of folders, now what? Zip them?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59689257&postcount=1145

First I want to see if I relock my Moto X 2013's bootloader if it works on it b/c I have a bootloader unlock code for the phone and can unlock if it effs up the device. And it is still under warranty so if I do eff it up to the point I can't get into bootloader mode, I will get a warranty replacement so no worries.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
So just to clarify, to get temp write access to system... When you use Adaway and it writes the host file, does the host file stick when the write protection randomly kicks back on?

Also, found a few tools on XDA to edit and repack images... I don't know the image format for this phone, but would these work IF you're not running a Linux VM?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
There is a new version of mofo, version 0.0.2. It should fix the problems people are having with getting stuck in the middle of a flash, or getting no progress at all. Please, visit your verification link again to re-download.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ranger149:
Could it work..?

So Essentially can we just temporarily mount the System as RW through terminal and busybox, Have the app we want make the changes we need, backup the system as system.img, flash the new IMG and then have our changes saved? It's not ideal but would it work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattlgroff:
That was the idea behind this. But it doesn't seem like WP is even temporarily lifted. Feel free to play around with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ranger149:
Well I know two users on here managed to temporarily lift it. They won't disclose how, as upon reboot it resets, and makes the device unstable. I'm just trying to better understand this all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattlgroff:
So there's two options to go for here, and one seems more "User Friendly" and doesn't require a GNU/Linux based OS running on a desktop or VM. The one I was going for was the one you described:

Option 1 - Get temporary WP disabled somehow, as some users have claimed. Make changes, but before you reboot create a system.img off of your current system using the commands found in my simple .batch previously.

adb shell "su -c 'make_ext4fs -s -l 3555555555 -a system /sdcard/system.img.ext4 /system'"

Note: The 3555555555 is the size of the .img in bytes. The Verizon system.img stock is 3.54 GB, so I made a bit extra room just in case with 3.55_.

Then copy off the /sdcard/ folder to the computer with

adb pull /sdcard/system.img.ext4 UserCreatedSystemImage.img.ext4

and continue by flashing it in Mofo instead of the rooted System.img.

Option 2 - Create a system.img on a linux machine/vm with the tweaks/debloats/etc. that you want. Flash in Mofo.

Ekkoria has already made a guide for Option 2 here.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thecaptain0220:
I love how entitled some people are. This root process is no small feat, something like this takes great time and knowledge to accomplish. In life if you create goods or services you have the right to charge for them if you wish. As a consumer you also have a right to not purchase said goods or services. Does this method provide perfect results for every user, no probably not. If you are the "average" root user then you probably shouldn't be using an exploit on day one anyway. This phones development section had cobwebs collecting on it, the only threads in it were for the Maxx. What maiko1 has done here is kick open the development door. No you don't have everything you want right now, but give it some time. This is surely only the beginning of what is to come. This gives other developers the tools to start creating pre-modified system images. It gets the ball rolling on the possibility of further exploits. It peaks interest in development for a great piece of hardware with previously little to no interest. This is what this device needed. You can argue and complain all day about the ethics, rights, and everything else about charging for it. At the end of the day that is the decision and right of the developer whether you agree with it or not. Either way you cut it, this is good for the Turbo. If you don't know what it is, how to use it, or don't need what it provides, don't buy it. Hang on to your money and see what comes in the near future. If you are wiling to try new things and are excited about the possibilities, pick it up, give it a try.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rgerrans:
When I had this happen, I ended up restarting the phone a couple of times (never got past boot screen) before I put it back in fastboot mode. I also left the cmd window in the foreground and didn't do anything else with my machine while it was installing.

Don't know if any of that made a difference of not. For USB drivers I had installed the full Motorola manager earlier so didn't put in any new ones.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
I guarantee you 100% this will NEVER happen. If you are not okay with paying someone for their efforts and hard work, then you don't deserve root. Cancer like you ruined XDA and turned into 9gag for phones.

Let me remind you again that he allegedly used a 0 day exploit according to jcase which is historically extremely valuable on the market.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Draven10785:
To me its not about paying. I'll give the man his dues. I'm reading up on everything as I have never had a Motorola device nor have I ever edited a system IMG myself. So for me its just a matter of getting familiar with what I need to know first. Hopefully there's at least some more insight on more than a temp root by the time I can work on it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bill0405:
You cannot "guarantee 100%" that it won't happen. I (like the previous poster) don't feel that the current version of root is worth paying for. If it were the typical root we're all used to that just works, then I would have absolutely no problem paying for it. If the most basic services that people root their phone for don't work, what is the point in paying? Especially when most layman's don't know how to make and modify system images. I'm going to sit and wait for a version to come out that actually modifies system files, and then I will buy it.
