[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
does anyone else get a force close when going into settings -> Display & lights? could have sworn it worked earlier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
That happened to me the first time I flashed the rom then the xposed flashable and the better battery stats flashable before the first boot.

I formatted and flashed the rom, then let it boot up, performed the initial setup. Then rebooted to recovery for the other flashables and it was fine after that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rickoslyder:
Is this the GR5_Settings_Modv1_Flashable_Installer.zip?

[Blu Vivo Air] jjvalor59:
hey guys! i just read in other topic some days agop that a user had a fail even when he remove the root using the BMX tutorial! any confirmation on this? what we can do when some other updates arrive? thanks have a nice dayç1
[Blu Vivo Air] itsJohnuno:
We could try to flash our stock rom from your tutorial then take an ota rather than unroot then take the ota...but now that we have what seems like a functional recovery from our Russian friends it should make things easier and no need for taking an ota
[Blu Vivo Air] jjvalor59:
Im not up to date with whats going on about this phone! Its The recovery already out? Where i can find it?
[Blu Vivo Air] itsJohnuno:
Yeah running miui as we speak had a scare using twrp recovery but all is well now
[Blu Vivo Air] jjvalor59:
Tutorial?
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
Where did you find MIUI, and how did you flash it? Been looking for a ROM for a while.
[Blu Vivo Air] DvDwx.:
i'm in touch with Russians, there they have Two user how already developed the MiUi ROM to our phone, i'm taking a conversation about this precautions like Updating OTA with root to know how to manage this problem... they use KAZAM SW on their Fly Tornado Slim (Yes, They Use Cross Manufacture SW too, More and More i have sure about our phones are unique Generic Thing with a Simple process called "put a label with the brand" on Gionee's Phones *** Just to be CLEAR! That's what i Thinking, My Opinion... For Sure the Hardware have some little modifications to can be accepted on some markets but all brands use a generic platform from Gionee [if you want to check that.. Check the name of the System application called "System Manager"... Check events names of APK using ES Task Manager(With ROOT on section Startup Manager Clicking on name of this process on list) the name of event process is -> com.gionee.softmanager.xxx.xxx.xxx ] )
[Blu Vivo Air] itsJohnuno:
i rooted my device using bmx method and then used rashr flash tool in the play store to flash the russians twrp recover

after that i got a little scared because

when i went to wipe it got stuck on formatting cache

then i just rebooted which led to cache and data not mounting

then i tried my backup and on the second try my restore took

so then i gave trying to flash miui another try and everything worked without a hitch this time lol

and im quite pleased with how miui is running, only bug ive seen is lock screen time and status bar time are different.
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
Thanks, but where is the MIUI ROM itself?
[Blu Vivo Air] itsJohnuno:
oh sorry its in the 4pda russian forum id look through it but i don't really have time to comb through the threads pages...the thread post that has the d/l link has colored words. pretty hard to miss

just search google in the search bar at the bottom...itll take you right to it
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
I'm downloading the ROM. Is there a specific TWRP to use or do they all work?
[Blu Vivo Air] DvDwx.:
USE YANDEX TRANSLATOR to translate the page from Russian language ;D

MiUi v6 (OutDate maybe) -> Link (Replay #724)

MiUi v6 5.3.4 -> LINK (Replay #709 - Updated Replay via Edit)

... How to install??? Maybe via CWM or TWRP i think (i Doesn't test already.. without time for while)
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
My last question. Which TWRP do I install? Is there a specific one? What do you recommend? I know you haven't tried yet, I just don't want to screw up. Haha.
[Blu Vivo Air] DvDwx.:
buddy... i don't tried too =# i'm without time to spend with it right now... when i have time i will test too, but right now i don't do it...

on Russian forum they say to flash via CWM... i don't have sure if have something wrong about use twrp to do it...

here on forum have somebody already tested... the user is -> [MENTION=3082108]Milly7[/MENTION] ... for sure the used MiUi... here is screen from their phone on TWRP Topic - LINK

Talk With he :highfive:
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
When I flash the recovery using rashr, nothing happens. What did you do exactly?
[Blu Vivo Air] DvDwx.:
... try re-flash the recovery from official TWRP Sources (Use the 2.8.5.0 ... version 2.8.6.0 is unstable) -> LINK
[Blu Vivo Air] itsJohnuno:
I used 2.8.5.0...downloaded it from the links dvdwx provided in another thread

Are you sure you have root? The unclemobile tool was doing the same thing to me...
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
I do have root, KingUser. Used 2.8.5.0. It reboots normally.
[Blu Vivo Air] DvDwx.:
i Have Root Too, From my topic using vRoot tool and than Replace to SuperSU ;D

Anything wrong happening to your phone after install TWRP? Try the version 2.8.5.0 only
[Blu Vivo Air] Ilxaot:
I did root, but I couldn't get TWRP 2.8.5.0 to flash. :( That's what I need. That or CWM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Djspinister:
Ok so I don't know what I did but this thing is acting very strange. Was working well on stock rooted, but wanted to try cloudy as I have read battery life is significantly better and I wanted to get rid of the half a day life of it.

So I ended up flashing cloudy lollipop. Worked very well but I couldn't record phone calls and I need that do I wanted to go back to KK. I then proceeded to flash cloudy KK version and got into trouble somehow. Signal was in and out every 3 seconds. Found out I needed to flash the 10r modem, so found that and did that. Then on boot it gets stuck on "starting apps". Got it working back on lollipop, but now I'm having calling issues, can't connect to any ssl addresses on the web etc etc. Call issues like random disconnects unless on speakerphone or so it seems.

Not sure what to do at this point.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
On stock 5.01. I have it on pin unlock right now but the options to shut it off are greyed out. The only other time I have ever seen that is whenever encryption is enabled which I do not have enabled, why can't I remove it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Just tested on mine. I set and pin and then removed it. Do you have an app installed that set an administrator level policy on the phone? Under security-device administrators.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Noremacam:
I believe that will also occur if you have an exchange email setup and exchange requires it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] the_happy_cannibal:
Do you have a VPN configured?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
Hmm ok. So I went through and deactivated all administraters but still "no lock screen" is greyed out.

No I do not nor have ever had an exchange account or anything other than just gmail.

As far as VPN I do not have one configured. I DO use super free VPN from the play store occassionally, but it hasn't created a noticeable VPN profile in my phone or anything. You have to run the app to even use it, and it gives you absolutely no info about what encryption tech it's using or anything else.

Just a side note, my phone is virgin 5.01 meaning it came straight from the posted ruu and wasn't upgraded from KitKat.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
Just an update. Not sure what fixed it but I clicked on "clear credentials" under Security and instantly worked. Figured I would update in case someone else has the same problem!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
That is the answer. Next time I looked it was back to the same state so it must be some sort of feature to make it hard on purpose.

[OS Porting] damjandakic:
Not sure if this question really fits in here but here it goes.

As Linux kernel is running under Android, how would one write applications that would run native (without Java overhead)? Additionally to the first question, I would like to access camera in that arrangement, like one would for example use v4l2 on PC or similarly?

Thanks,

Damjan
[OS Porting] pgquiles:
It really depends on the camera and the kernel the device is running.

If kernel > 2.6.26 (which it should be, as Android 1.5 was using 2.6.27 already) and your camera is supported by UVC, then it's easy (V4L being the best choice). Otherwise, you will need the source and/or binary SDK, which is usually quite difficult to get ahold of.

Dear Administrator or moderators...

Once this thread went to a conflict with gekkehenkie11 and according to that I spent about a week time researching this "knox" thing without having normal sleep even it was the limit for me, when by the words of gekkehenkie11 he pointer at me boing uselessly wasting people's time and like I'm being a liar. I got finally mad and deleted(overwritten own original posts). I need a 3-4 days to come down and think if I continue development of this KNOX thing(pointing at me like a liar and noob is a very bad motivation to continue, but maybe I will continue just for other people who didn't point at me that way). So far, Admin and moderators it's up to you to decide either to restore original posts from backup(if you have ones) or delete this topic. Any your decision will be accepted without any protest from my side. (I personally didn't leave any backups for myself).

Thanks for understanding!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] U01637:
i dont want to come across as a boyscout or anything, but isnt this essentially committing fraud (possibly insurance fraud)?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phoenix91140:
it depends

deleted
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
if this actually works, it doesn't change the FUSE-based KNOX warranty flag. i.e., it makes the software/bootloader prints 0x0, but this will change once you flash official firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phoenix91140:
it's a fake value, but it helps

deleted
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
I know it's a fake trick that may help in your situation with warranty claim.

Unfortunately, this is confusing when compared with real KNOX reset for Exynos Note 3 (N900) by a leaked firmware. Moreover, it seems that you own N910C while your thread is posted on N910V section where the majority (retail editions) are on LOCKED bootloader & without ROOT access (so, they can't even flash any modified images).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phoenix91140:
deleted
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
No problem! Thanks for sharing your trick :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
+1 amazingly nice solution. will it work if a knox container tries to access the value as well ?

sounds like it will since youre hard coding the knox value in the kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phoenix91140:
yes, it will

deleted
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ale32thebest:
You can check knox status even when Phone is powered on, here is a simple app that can do that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ale32thebest.galaxywarrantycheck (I'm the dev of the app, if can help i can tell you how i read the value) if can help, i have n910f and i tried the app on it and other internarional samsung Phone model (s3-s4-s5)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 彩色的风:
does it mean if I know where the variable comes from, I can modify KNOX mechanism so that. I can.flash everything without tripping it. maybe I can modify the official firmware so that even my device doesn't know KNOX fuse exist?

PS: I have voided my warranty, can I still use Kies to update in this way?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
Great work man,hats off
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 彩色的风:
I see! can I say in this way? sboot.bin does nothing but to void our warranty, if we just leave this bit*ch alone, don't touch her, we.are free to flash into whatever we want without tripping knox?

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

lol, looks like you just need two more posts to express your terrific idea to the developer. I strongly believe it will be a millstone in Samsung mobile, please, just make it happen! what you did will be great appreciated by note4. and S6 and later Samsung device community!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zerojay:
Oh boy, this is a hell of a risky hack. The file sboot.bin is the secondary bootloader. If you somehow screw up the change, such as... say adding a 00 instead of replacing it in the file - a very common screwup when hexediting, I might add - you will have a HARD BRICK on your hands that cannot be fixed or reverted without Samsung repair. The phone will appear to no longer power up as the sboot.bin file is executed before anything the user would notice.

So yeah.... just be really careful.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] phoenix91140:
I know. And to be EXTREMELLY CAREFULL. AND ANY WARRANTY IS VOID. Use at your own risk
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
So to me it sounds like(correct me if I'm wrong) for all users that have NOT voided their warranty and want to root. All they have to do is to have a prerooted original firmware.

Modify sboot file so it won't trip Knox and then just flash that firmware using Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Danilo Pantelić:
Thx m8 for this try!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamerTKM:
Not entirely correct. Modify the sboot.bin is just a graphical representation at this moment. After root your device, the real knox counter still will be tripped and the sboot.bin modification only masked out the value inside Odin Boot.

So, prerooted original firmware + sboot modification still will trip the knox counter.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 彩色的风:
you are such a good and clever man! just waiting for your good news! what's more, if you find it painfully slow download Chinese firmware to test your idea. feel free to let me know, I will email it to you!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] titooo7:
I'm tempted to try this (even if I currently don't care about knox)... @ phoenix91140 I assume that you already tried on your device, right?

Am I wrong guessing that maybe something else can be done to transform our device into a test device (and get test OTA roms)?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cnn888:
thanks for the guide but i am not a programmer and don't too much spare time to tinker with this. i downloaded 910G (snapdragon variants) and there is no sboot.bin inside the rom. there is however boot.img, and aboot.bin. if i upload the files somewhere, would you be kind enough to help me doing it? i believe most of the readers here would agree it would be much easier if they could just download the modified files and flash it. once again, thank you for the guide.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
I could take a look at that, yes

[Galaxy Note 4 General] 彩色的风:
there is a problem I still worry about, look, "%d" tells the system the value, what if there are other things relate to this value. it won't be tough to overwrite "%d" to"0 ".

if this value not only means "graphic" but also relate to something else, oh yes mobile can identify zero but I don't think it can identify "space" value, I can't image what will happen next

it won't be far to modify my warranty state? can I use KNOX if I "repair" my 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] thedicemaster:
perhaps you should replace "hacked" with "spoofed" in the topic.

while this is certainly useful for warranty, it's not a full Knox status hack.

people who are a bit hasty may root after seeing the title, not realising it doesn't actually restore Knox functionality.
