[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bluema:
First of all, I may be posting this in the wrong section. But I desperately need your help on this.

I got a Jiayu S3, and couldn't not try to flash a custom rom on it, so I tried with "Pure AOSP V1 TF".

All went well, untill i found this app which was included with the rom, "Kinguser" (should be Superuser, i believe), which game me the option to toggle root.

At first and only time I opened this Kinguser app, option root was active. I did deactivate it, and reactivated immediately after.

As soon as i reactivated root, the privacy pin screen showed up.

I didn't set any PIN on my phone, so at first i thought it could be something like 1111 or 0000. Tried 5 times and it made me wait 30 seconds. Then tried another 3-4 times.

Here began the real mess: "forgot pin" (or psw) didn't show up, but at the time i didn't even know about that recovery option.

I didn't know what to do, so I just thought that a factory reset would certainly solve the problem, how couldn't it? Well, wiped everything, but PIN lock screen didn't go away.

So, wiping everything, I also deleted my gmail account from the phone, and I lost the possibility to lock phone and give it a new password (Android Device Manager). Too bad at the time I didn't know about this recovery option as well...

Now I'm out of ideas. I think I've tried every method I could find with a search of "Smartphone PIN locked". Tried with resets, plugins, deleting files with adb..

How do I unlock my phone? :p

little update: after a factory reset, for 2-3 seconds, it shows the default initial screen, but it doesn't last more that and i just can't do anything.

Now i managed to bring back the stock rom, but with that i lost the twrp recovery, and i can't find a way to make pc recognize the phone to reflash it.

It seems it's going worse instead of better...

Did you have any resolution to this problem. I am currently sitting in the exact same boat. Did the factory reset, pass code screen still there, I didn't set a pass code.

Just flash another rom (stock/original) and start over.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AzulFogo:
How have you done that?

Can you help please?

I tried factory reset (volume plus+ power button), hard reset (volume- plus power button), update, and nothing works; I also went to two different specialized stores and they failed to find a way to reinstall the original Android version or a recent one.

Comparing the files with the factory version installed in the phone, the phone report identified three changes:

- a new file: /system/priv-app/7mK0T6e8Z5.apk

- the lost of a file: /system/app/com.android.fallen.apk

- and a modified file: /system/bin/debuggerd

To flash firmware you can use SP Flash Tool on a windows or linux computer (not sure about macosx). You have to decide which firmware you want (which one do you have now?). The 'official' firmwares can be found on needrom. SP Flash Tool can be found there as well. There are 2 popular LP firmwares built by Jiayu resellers in Europe (Xtreme from Spain and Jiayu.de from Germany). Guides on how to flash are often present at the place where you find the firmware.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AzulFogo:
Thank you!

I found "Xtreme from Spain":

needrom.com/download/rom-xtreme-rom-tf/

I found the "SP Flash Tool":

needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/

but it is for Linux... can you send me the link of the windows version?

And I could not found the "Jiayu.de from Germany": can you send the link?

Also, can you recommend some good manual for dummies?

Thanks again for your patient and help!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] jaunedoeuf:
latest sp flash tools is 5.1532

search needrom with "5.1532" will leed you to the download page

no link allowed here, so ...

for beta 10 from jiyau.de, search google with "jiyau.de Lollipop 5.1.1 - Beta 10 (14.10.2015)".

it will leeds you to the rom.

Good hunting :)

With your suggestions, I managed to install Lolipop in my Jiayu S3S (upgraded from Kit Kat) - Xtreme ROM TF (JiayuS3-5.1Extreme1.1SP.zip).

However the problem remain... the phone still is asking for a PIN (that I never had put there, in first place)...

What should I do now?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapphous:
I'm trying to make use of my D6603's framebuffer. As I understand it, I should be able (as root) to run "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/graphics/fb0" to pump random binary into the framebuffer, which should result in random pixel color changes occurring on my screen. Doing so appears to work just fine, but I get no output. I am not at all an expert--the best I can assume is that the stock kernel (I'm running rooted stock 23.0.1.A.5.77) somehow fails to provide framebuffer access, and that all attempts are therefore destined to fail. This seems odd though, since if it's using the framebuffer, how could there be no way to input into it given root access?

Question 1: Is this correct, or is there some way to use the framebuffer on the stock ROM?

Question 2: If not, is there a modified stock kernel that will work? As I understand it any modified kernel will prevent my DRM from working, and so maybe there's no point in asking this, and I ought to be asking whether any kernel with any rom will work?

Hi

I have a freshly rooted DroidX with cyanogenmod ROM. I am trying to use the phone for the first time (no cell contract, via wifi only). So, I have to create a gmail account.

I have entered my wifi info, and the phone indicates it's connected to the internet. Opening gmail and entering a username and password that was previously used gets me an error screen saying the gmail program cannot connect to the internet. When I open a browser and try to connect to a website, I get a message that the site has an invalid certificate. There appears to be no way to bypass this screen using the stock browser in cyanogenmod. A window pops up and says "Security Warning, There are problems with the security certificate for this site". I am given the choice of 'go back', 'view certificate' or 'continue'. If I choose 'view certificate', the screen says "this certificate isn't from a trusted authority'. The certificate is issued to 'smrtpxl.advertising.com'. I get this error no matter which site I try to visit Ebay, google.com, etc all show the same certificate as described above. One of the first things I intend to download after getting registered on gmail is the firefox browser....for now I'm stuck with the one that came with the aftermarket ROM.

I should also say the phone has no sd card. I bought it without the sd card because I will only run a few apps on it and it will never have a cellphone provider (will always be used via wifi). Is it possible the previous owner removed his sd card before shipping the phone to me, which has some data on it that I need to use the phone?

It appears I am missing some security certificates, but I have no idea what to do to begin using the phone.

HELP......................

TY.

Other info

I left out a little info in the original post.

First, I do see the websites in the browser initially, but within a few seconds, the warning message pops up and blocks most of the screen. Nothing I can do will make it go away.

I can also do a google search when typed in the google widget, but clicking on any of the links from the search results makes the dreaded error message pop up.

I sure hope there's something I can do to put this phone into service.

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about it to buy a chromecast, but I've some questions here, whose answers I didn't find!

Am I able to stream videos on my tv?

I'm currently using an app called Vget to stream any videos from websites to watch movies with MX Player.

Is there any method, to stream videos from websites like movie4k, burningseries, anime tubes , etc. through my phone on my TV?

Just noticed that there are many ways to do this , but I don't really get them! Also noticed it's possible with my laptop, but I really prefer it to do it either with my phone or my tablet!

Would appreciate if someone would clarify me!

Thanks in advance :)
[Google Chromecast] Bruno_Tec:
If those web pages have their own in-bluilt movie player then you will be able to reproduce those videos on chromecast by tapping the chromecast icon on the movie player. (Only if you are using chrome on android or windows).

If those web pages make you choose your own video player you will have to install the app "web video caster" and choose it as the movie player.

Also you can install the app "chromecast" and choose its screen mirroing option to reproduce whatever your phone/tablet is doing (movies,games,fb,pics,music,etc). You should know that screen mirroing demands a stronger internet connection (more mgbytes) and more stability. Also the very 4 or 5 times you try to do screen mirroing it will end the mirroing or disappear the sound but not the video. Its normal.

Pd: the "chromecast icon" i told you to tap on the in-biult video player you will only see it when you have a chromecast connected to tv and finished its software setup (easy to do). So dont worry if you dont see that chromecast icon yet because you dont have a chromecast yet

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] goforandroid:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4(SGH-M919) with TMobile.

The android version is 4.4.4. Since i am still in the contract with TMobile,

the phone is locked with that carrier. (Btw, does this mean i have. a locked bootloader automatically??..but.i.found some on the net saying... Tmobile doesnt put locked bootloader??)

I tried to root this phone with towelroot, but it says it is not supported.

So i found an article saying this phone can be rooted by cf-auto-root with odin.

before i try, i would like ti ask something.

1. it says if the phone has locked bootloader, this rooting procedure can make the phone

brick. how do i check whether i have locked bootloader or not?

i havent installed any custom ROM .. i havent tried to root the phone other than towelroot.

Btw, i just went to download menu, though i didnt go further from there.

i saw "Write Protectiom : Enabled" ...does this mean i have locked bootloader phone?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You don't have locked bootloader. You can use cf-auto-root just remember that you will trip your Knox flag. Other than that, there is no side effects as far as performance in hardware or software
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] otisdog:
The only root method I could get to work was CF Autoroot flashing with Odin. Just make sure you have the correct version for the T-Mobile SGH-M919. I don't believe SuperSu was included with the root. You need SuperSu installed after you get rooted. When apps want to access root files SuperSu will not allow that access w/o your permission. It's free and available on Playstore.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmacguire:
In regard to what OTISDOG said about the rooting, I have a MetroPCS branded M919N. I use firmware for both T-Mobile and Metro on the phone with absolutely no issues. Rooting the phone with CF-AutoRoot was a quick and painless process. Reason I rooted? To get rid of all the bloat on the phone. My battery lasts longer and is more responsive in general. I asked the reps at a local store if I would have a problem if I needed my phone to be serviced under warranty. He told me that none of his rooted customers had problems getting their phones fixed under warranty unless the phone was running a custom rom or recovery like CyanogenMod or TWRP. Your mileage may vary by your location and/or store visited.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapWinder:
The battery drain problem on many devices, including the Nexus 7 Grouper, is a huge problem. Although many band-aids have been suggested such as turn this off and make that setting, most of us realize by now that these suggestions are not getting to the root of the problem. My investigation attempts to do this. I bought a damaged 32G Nexus 7 on eBay and after swapping out the cracked LCD/Digitizer for a new one, I noticed a severe battery drain problem. Before bed it would be at 95% and 10 hours later (with the tablet OFF, not in sleep) it's down to 65%. Wow, 3% an hour. Not good.

I then came across another, seemingly identical 32G Nexus 7 Grouper on eBay with another cracked screen. I fixed it like the first and noticed NO battery drain. Go to bed at 90%, wake up at 89% 10 hours later. Hummm, the game is afoot. The battery drain Nexus I call "Ed" and the No Drain Nexus (which is running 4.4.2) I call "Sue". I noticed that Ed was always awake much more than Sue and it was the Android OS and System that was at the top of the battery list (no screen, the tablet was OFF). Long ago I swapped the batteries with no change. Of course I thought I'd just install 4.4.2 on Ed and duplicate all the settings from Sue.

So from the Google Developers site I downloaded build number KOT49H and made every setting throughout Ed the same as Sue. No Dice. Same problem. Not a setting? Hummm, the plot thickens. Most of us thought an app was running in the background keeping the tablet awake. But what? Something we could not control with a setting? OK, how about this, I'll take an image of Sue using TWRP backup and restore it to Ed. If it's anything software, that should fix it. So i did using TWRP 2.5.0.0 and wiping all the stuff I should and got an exact replica of Sue on Ed.

Are you ready? NO CHANGE! WOW! Did I miss something? Or is it not in the software, but in the hardware? Has some transistor switch in a logic array failed by not tuning off as it should when the tablet powers off? Thus keeping the tablet awake? Of course when I disconnect the battery all drain stops. So this is as far as I can take this, but I am thinking hardware. But hardware in so many different devices? Does the OS upgrade put the hardware in an ON state from which it cannot be turned OFF? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for reading.

hope this helps you, otherwise you'll need to do more digging for the source of the problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapWinder:
Nothing Helps so far

Thanks so much for your reply. Gotta say, great suggestion. But unfortunately after trying both the script method and Disable Service, the battery drain is still with me. To be honest I'm not to surprised because my drain problem occurs when the tablet is shut off. When the tablet is up and running, I actually get pretty good battery life. From 100% to shut down I timed it at 8.5 hours with a 4270ma battery.

I guess the question becomes, what apps can run in the background with the tablet shut off? And because of the image result, I still wonder about hardware possibilities, although everything works fine with the tablet on. This is a strange one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapWinder:
The Answer at last

After exhausting my software investigation, I thought that hardware was the only remaining possibility. But what? By chance I picked up another Grouper really cheap on eBay with the typical cracked digitizer. I swapped the intact digitizer from Sam to the new Grouper and the cracked one to Sam and Wow. Now Sam had no battery drain but the new Grouper did! The drain was in the LCD/Digitizer assy! After unplugging, testing, plugging, and testing it turns out that the LCD is responsible for the battery drain when the tablet is turned OFF. Changing the LCD ribbon had no effect.

This is where my experience differs from most other peoples'. They have drain when their tablet is sleeping, not turned off. So I'll replace the LCD assy and hopefully my battery drain problem will be solved.
