[Samsung Galaxy Star] ulfiyanto:
Hello Guys! This is my first post here.

I have my friend's Galaxy Star Plus (GT-S7262).

It seems have not rooted yet. And the USB Debugging does not activated.

It is locked because of wrong pattern combination.

I'm trying to do factory reset by accessing recovery mode.

The problem is the phone doesn't react when I pressed the combination key (Vol Up + Menu + Power), but I can access Odin Mode.

None of the hardware button are broken, they're still working.

I try to use adb but it's only showing "error: device not found"

I already trying to flash using stock ROM but it is still locked. I flashed the CSC file but only get white screen.

Is there any other way to wipe data/factory reset? Well, thanks before.

*sorry, I'm not good in english :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] orangemonster:
So, today, randomly, my S6 Edge stopped being able to charge with any charger that is connected to a wall (I tried 3) it will only charge on the wireless pad or plugged into a computer. I did a factory reset and unfortunately that did not help. Anyone else had this issue or can shed some light on what I can try to do to fix this? and I am not rooted. Stock. Version AOF1

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksridhar:
Hello,

I can't find a definitive answer to this question anywhere online. Decided to ask it here. Thanks in advance for the help!

For a report that my company is working on, we need to conduct a city-wide survey in a few weeks. For this survey, we will be employing 50 surveyors who will each be given a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. (50 surveyors, 50 tablets)

On each of these 50 tabs, they will be required to operate 6 different apps (each app performing a different function) to enter survey data, collect information, upload pictures, record travel route, etc.

None of these apps have been installed on any of the tabs.

To get the tabs ready to use for the survey, I will need to install each of these 6 apps on all 50 tabs. The only way I know how to do this is installing the 6 apps individually on each of the tabs, one by one. My method looks very inefficient, and this task will take a considerable amount of time.

Is there a faster way to download all the apps on all of the devices?

PS: I have never used/operated any of the tabs before.

(I have only used one of them to test the functionality of the apps)

Thank you very much!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] spacecat:
Now i have finally got a working ATHENA (after over a month!)

I realise that as a phone its pretty Enormous to put it mildly.

Can someone recommend me a bluetooth headset that works well with it, i was thinking of the LG Style i but it is not on sale in the uk (like a mini phone)

cheers
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
Yet again - Please Search

If you actually search this forum and other forums (eg the General forum) you will find numerous reviews / comparisons of bluetooth headsets. Please don't lets start yet another thread on the same thing.

For what it's worth (and as I've made clear in other threads in answer to similar questions) I favour the Jabra BT8010.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cayotte:
Highly recommended, Jabra BT8010 (combined with Jetware for Caller ID that can show names instead of number). The second choice would be i.Tech Clip D.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Anton.Valleyman:
I have the 8010, but do like the look of the Style-i from LG - and the fact it has keys to dial with. The problem with the 8010 is that if it isn't a number you've already entered into its phone book, you can't dial the number. No surprise there and still more useful than most other headsets, which is why I bought it together with the vibrate and bt stereo. But I would like to limit how often I bring the phone out of my pocket - particularly at weekends or when walking about.

The only thing is, other than ordering through the US, I can't find anywhere that stocks the Style-i.

Hmph

I finally got my verizon s5 rooted. I used odin to install samsung's 4.4.4 and the stock kernel, rooted with towel root, then updated the kernel, installed safestrap, and everything works great! The only disappointment I have is that I'm unable to find any roms that work with it. I found a few claiming to work with this model -mostly cyanogenmod versions- but none of them work at all. One failed, one booted straight to recovery, and the last just booted to a black screen. Am I missing something, or are there just not any custom roms for the SM-G900V at all? Thanks in advance :)

Sony Xperia C4 kernel source published, but incomplete

Hi

I keep trying getting root on my E5303 :) . It's unlocked now, but it seems like there is no appropriate ROM for Xperia C4 on the Internet yet. So I found kernel sources at Sony Developers website. It's called as "Open source archive for 27.1.A.1.81 and 27.1.B.1.81".

[ developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/xperia-open-source-archives/open-source-archive-for-27-1-a-1-81-and-27-1-b-1-81/ ]

Unfortunately the sources are incomplete. After I unpacked it and ran build sh it finished with an error. There are no some files in the archive. These files are as follows:

- "../mediatek/build/shell.sh" - I think that there should be some mediatek sources in the folder ../mediatek

Can anybody give me hints on where to get that files and build a custom ROM for E5303, please.

[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] engnajjar:

[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
Well, at first it's necessary to build a recovery for the phone. Earlier inkoz wasn't able to build the kernel because the sources for MT6752 processor are missing from its sources, although there are rumors that MTK sources are available from Lenovo (MTK wants $$ for them).

I still don't own the phone, so I didn't experiment on this, but if there would be no MTK sources, there will be no root and custom rom (and there would be no reason for me to buy this phone).

So, is there any owner willing to experiment? The sources from Lenovo P70 do contain 'mediatek' folder requested by inkoz.

[UPDATE]

[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
cubeundcube says that exploit is still exists in Sony software, but there is different memory addressing on ARM64 platform, so his exploit for ARM doesn't work there, and currently it's impossible to get root through this exploit. Maybe I'll try to compile kernel sometimes later with MTK sources from Lenovo (it's necessary to create a device tree for custom recovery, which is a cumbersome process). May be someone already on this, dunno.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] emerson.web:
Hi Guys, I have the Sony Xperia C4 E5343, Android 5.0, Build version 27.1.B.1.106, and I past all day long searching and tried with no success the follows softwares:

Kingo Root v1.4

One Click Root

King Root v3.0 (in chinese)

Unlock Root v3.2.1

SRS One Click Android Root v5.1

Ease Root Tool v12.4

Framaroot 1.9.3.spk

z4root 1.3.spk

The SRS inform that the Sony E5343 is now already ready to be rooted, as informed here:

https://twitter.com/srsroot/statuses/647484241878589440

In the SRS and Ease Root Tool I could see in the real time script the follow message:

"error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported"

I have no idea what this means but maybe this could be the source of the unsuccessful.

I found in the topic below a flashfile to put in the device named "bypass-pie.zip", but I need to research more before install this.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731

I'm still trying to find a solution...
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
I suppose that this message is triggered when SRS Root tries to launch the exploit executable (root8). This means one of two following things: the tool selects exploit executable incorrectly or that the exploit executable wasn't compiled for Android 5.0 and can't root the device in principle (so there may be misinformation on twitter). Most likely this tool won't work.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] Sunil Jagtap:
Hi,

I have also tried all this option and ended up with no success, so, I mailed Kingo root & they replied ' work in progress'

[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
Good news (I hope), I was able to compile the kernel from the sources provided by Sony (these). It seems, that all Mediatek drivers are already included, but there are also a couple (actually three) problems:

1. Missing "kernel-3.10/drivers/misc/mediatek/gud/mt6752/gud/MobiCoreDriver/build_tag.h" file.

You'll need to create this file, for example, with the following content (I actually don't know what exactly should be there):

#define MOBICORE_COMPONENT_BUILD_TAG "*** GC_MT6752_Release_V011 ###"

2. Some errors with includes (it's necessary to replace <> with "") described here.

3. Some errors with incorrect include paths described here (but it's necessary to use 6752 instead of 6732).

Currently I've compiled the kernel with the toolchain from NDK (let's assume that it's placed at ~/android/android-ndk-r10e) with the following environment (something there is probably irrelevant):

export TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user TARGET_PRODUCT=E5303 MTK_ROOT_CUSTOM=../mediatek/custom/ TARGET_KERNEL_VERSION=MT6752 &&export PATH=~/android/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/:$PATH&&export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-&&export ARCH=arm64&&export ARCH_MTK_PLATFORM=mt6752

And the following commands (the first creates ".config" file for E5303, other devices should use other configs):

make arima6752_lwt_s_l_defconfig
make

Mediatek's mkimage utility may be necessary to build boot images (used in build.sh)

Now it's necessary to create the device three suitable for TWRP. I suggest CTXz to be more open and share his work.

[UPDATE]

Theire is an interesting existing tree for mt6752 which may be used as a base. But I'm a little bit pessimistic on the possibility to unlock bootloader on E5303. Is it possible?
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] CTXz:
You can find my work on the TWRP-C4 github group ;). By the way, did you compile a working boot.img now or not?
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
No, I didn't explore boot.img yet. Found your group, watching. What are the following plans? As I understand, it's necessary to patch the kernel and disable RIC to get root on Sony.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] CTXz:
I managed to compile a boot.img with omni sources. But I am afraid that it won't boot. What I thought about is to set adb.rosecure=0 so I can access su in the adb shell. From there I can push supersu binaries
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] chumagek3000:
For reference: unpacked boot.sin from E5303_27.1.A.1.106 firmware found on the net (contains boot.elf and unpacked ramdisk files). There is a guide from Sony, how to repack boot images (it seems that it uses boot.elf format and standard AOSP tools for boot images would not work), basically 'mkbootimg' tool joins kernel and ramdisk, the last should be packed in cpio.gz format .

As I understand, in Lollipop it's necessary to launch SU daemon in init SELinux context (Lollipop places each service in its own context). So, it's probably necessary to patch ramdisk files as it was done for Nexus devices (or maybe even to switch selinux in permissive mode entirely & disable RIC to get R/W access on /system), so a lot of work should be done.
