[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
As said here and one of the simplegx threads. http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/remove-computrace-reinstalling-t2929102#post60906417

On my device it seemed to mostly sit idle doing not much except waste memory, but after I did a rom flash it went crazy and had the following issues.

Laggy access to the "usage data" part of the settings. (taking 30 seconds to load it)

"Restrict background data" setting kept been turned back off.

Large battery drain by the computrace agent process.

All these symptoms stopped after I uninstalled it in the app manager (have to be on a non EE rom to successfully do this). It hasnt ran on my device since.

This is on my s5 901f which I got from UK carrier EE.

There is a thread on the EE forum, where they did initially deny the software is to do with them, but then instead of denying they started to ignore the discussion. But given all non EE roms seem to not have this software, it does point to them.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

yeah I still have these files, somehow I cannot remove them.

The bad news is abit of googling shows this rootkit gets embedded into the bios not just the OS, so I think managing to stop it running in the OS is probably about as far as we can go. I ran a file in odin which supposedbly wipes that partition but the dir still exists.

A bit worryingly also is a few of the files can be deleted but then get recreated suggesting something somewhere still is using that folder. I asked androidgx (creator of simplegx rom) if he could add a command in the recovery installer to wipe that folder but he said it isnt possible.

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

ok guys I read the forum illuz said to search for on google, I wont post the url incase it breaks XDA rules (dont know why he couldnt post it)

long story short did some reading and then went to this url.

http://www.cellrabta.pk/2015/05/thi...oftware-computrace-free-solution-all-samsung/

That guide worked for me, the flashing in odin wouldnt get rid of the folder, but manually issuing the commands in adb worked.

After booting the phone back up, I still had an empty absolute folder, but this time I wiped it in root explorer, there was nothing blocking the wipe.

So thankfully you dont need to factory reset the device like that guide says.

EE has never locked my phone, but I didnt like that rootkit been on it, thanks to those involved in the research.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4t0m1c4:
Nice one, another poster here has a similar solution. I updated my post today, pretty much dropping EE. I called after getting advice from the local EE shop to do a return on the handset for one without computrace, and they almost instantly forwarded my call to Samsung switchboard before I could object! I'm not going to repeat the language I shouted down the phone here.

I hung up, and called 150 and cancelled my contract (14 day terms). I'm getting an unlocked Note 4 from a reputable retailer now, so we shall see if that has Computrace on it too (though advertised as Kitkat so doubtful). If I run into this malware again, I'll be grateful for all the help.

Edit: Phone has arrived, is clean and has kitkat 4.4.4, which I have been told to stick with (by the guy in the EE shop).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
from what I understand all touchwiz roms now have ABTPersistenceService which enforces the file state, however the computrace agent app seems unique to EE roms so I think the ABTPersistenceService is just a support service, and so far I have not heard of any other EU carrier activating computrace agent.

The steps that seem to be required are (assuming phone hasnt been locked by the service).

1 - install a non EE rom, BTU is recommended.

2 - uninstall computrace agent app via app manager. (not listed on the other site but I did this)

3 - wipe the persdata partition using adb whilst in recovery using the guide I linked to (I didnt bother backing it up).

4 - enjoy

If its worked there should be no computrace app running and the absolute folder should stay empty.

ABTPersistenceService seems to recreate the folder tho but not the files.

To disable ABTPersistenceService, the framework2.jar needs patching.

Galaxy SM-G920X FIX:

1. Download a CLEAN NON-EE ROM.

2. Root the device & install TWRP (2.6.8.2), Copy ROM to the handset.

3. Advanced - Terminal - Execute the two commands: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda11" && "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda13"

4. Install the ROM - Do not reboot the device, stay in TWRP.

5. Wipe dalvik & data / factory reset.

Hi

I downloaded the latest radio rom and installed it on my Dopod 8180 Pro G3 which had the Version 1 rom with GSM ......

Now when I reboot the Dopod the GSM version has disappeared and the Dopod is very very slow. How do I fix it or where can I get the original radio rom from?

Second is I can't download the unlock CID file, is there another file location which I can do this?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Kiwi_hknz:
Hi

I have fixed it already, it seems like the V2 radio rom will not work for V1 OS and it cause the battery to drain, I had to borrow another battery to reprogram the rom.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rikabo:
Hi Kiwi,

Where do you get the v.2 radio rom?

When you said radio rom, is it related to the IPL or SPL also? Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
1st install with wildkernel hangs on android boot logo.

Install with philz recovery

ROM MIUI with Sultan's 1.8.5 kernel k.k.

Good boot

WiFi working

No sim showing- baseband shows unknown.

Reinstalled radio and reboot,no difference.

Reinstalled ROM ,kernel and radio at same time,no difference.

File manager can't see any files,so could not load keyboard.

Under storage, mount sd card but would not mount.

Internal storage reporting correctly.

Phone failed , crashes with ( report miui or OK )

Takes long to boot so wait it out. 8 min.

System looks nice,quick.

Hope this helps with further development.

I'd REALLY like to be able to follow your guide here, but...

Unfortunately I can't advance past the first couple steps because the google drive link posted in STEP ONE containing all the necessary files requires permission from you before I can download it.

Step 7 CMD window - suggestion for noobs

Wow! Thank you SO much. Step 7 might be a little unclear. Not sure "first copy the Android ADB Location" -- copy from where?-- and then "write to your Commandprompt" cd (ADB location)" -- do you mean write "cd" (no ") and paste what you copied? Just a thought . . .

Think it would be simpler to just open CMD window from adb.exe folder::

1. Open the folder containing adb.exe. (Should be C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)

2. Hold down the shift key and right-click a white space in the folder. Choose "open command window here."
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Kombatmedik:

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
I have to say that I am pretty underwhelmed by the instructions, since all they do is expand what others have tried for GAPPS with only limited success ...

Btw, the easiest way to get adb drivers is to follow this post, there is much less to download :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58822885&postcount=6

And for the rest, follow the earlier guide to rooted Fire with non-working GAPPS:

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/playstore-t3110773

Unfortunately, the GAPPS fail to work reliably using similar instructions, and there is no consistent fix yet.

Awaiting more useful instructions now ...
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
First I want to say thank you for the instructions this is a more detailed version of the steps I was taking. I had full intention to clean up my guide once we solved the problems we are currently having. I'm pretty sure these steps above are the basic steps of getting the Playstore but we are still not without issues. I'd be interested to see how many people this is working.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] vismxownz:
After all that, i still dunno why People got still issues - in first place with PlayStore.

It's the 6th (and 5th Day) for both HD 7" - still everything is working - PlayStore, also downloads and Cache Cleaning like a charm.

Also the Tablet seems to work faster now, cause of disabled Amazon Startup-Apps.

Also bibikalka is right, there are less big downloads, also you can evade downloading the whole SDK if you do not like, to. But you safed it for Future uses and instructions.

Also my first DL is above 100MB because it also includes the GAPPS, they are working as said and still working after nearly a week of usage on 2 Fire Tabs.

Just wanted to help, not that pro in writing instructions as you may already know.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] devicer:
But after all this, is Play Store application working?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] vismxownz:
As said before, nearly a week without any problems. Applications updating fine (for sure execluding Google Apps, don't updating anymore) - they should work until there is a update wich REQUIRES a newer Version of any GAPPS. But as said they work.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] droidnext:
Thanks for the tutorial!!!

I got supersu and playstore installed and worked. This is what I did.

First I used playsevice 6.5.99_(xxxxxxxxxx-034) the last 3 number (-034) suppose to be the correct one for HD6. It work only the first time then update itself to 7.3.29 so no good.

So I changed to playservice 6.1.88_(xxxxxxxxxx-032). This one so far working very good after a few reboots. It won't update itself. Maybe because its not the correct one? But since it work so who care.

Now I can download apps, games no problem at all. So anybody got problem, maybe try playservice 6.1.88_(xxxxxxxxxx-032). I think thats a reason.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] vismxownz:
Yes the GoogleCode got Patchday and 034 got patched. BUT to evade you also can go to your SysCustomizer and Reset the Google Play-Service to "Systemdefault" so it resets back to the first installed version. Until this gets a problem you can do it over and over again, so it would take just like 1 minute to fix the issue. Also there is no error or fail in using an "outdated" Version.

New version online. Which would probably be the last version of CM11. It isn't really getting many updates.

Changelog:

- New device tree (with CM12 changes).

- Nebula kernel

- Optimized with ArchiDroid (Thanks to [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION])

- ROM and kernel optimized with Linaro.

Thanks [MENTION=5999439]GHsR[/MENTION] for the help and [MENTION=4883214]haky 86[/MENTION] for help in some technical problems.

This ROM is now as speedy as it could be. Both i9105/p are uploaded.

good job

hello [MENTION=5746995]doriandiaconu[/MENTION],

you think that you can rewrite the ROM with support for vibration? because I think that this ROM is the best for our samsung s2 plus.

I believe that the best ROM in performance for this phone is the Cyanogenmod based on kitkat that is faster and more stable for constant use over time

I have tried both the ROM [5.1.1] Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.4.5 and the ROM [5.1.1] CandyRoms Candy5 Lollipop for GT-i9105 / P V2.5.1

It' true that these ROMs (lollipop) are nice with lots of features, but after a while of using, the phone is slow especially the dialer and often become almost unusable until the next reboot

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

yes, I think like you that lollipop is too heavy for our phone...

hello, after I have installed this version of ROM with the pico Gapps in the links below [new edit], many icons and images in google playstore are corrupted? any of you have this problem?

I understood the problem: is't the new version of google playstore

In fact, taking a file with an older version of gapps the problem does not occur

sorry, but I committed an error when writing above. the gapps that I used the first time are the 5.1.x on the link http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879
