Galaxy Nexus with 4.3 is seen offline inside VirtualBox/Ubuntu 14.04

Hi,

I'm trying to access a Galaxy Nexus hooked up to a Windows machine through VirtualBox running Ubuntu 14.04.

I followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=570452, but the devices keeps showing offline:

adb devices

Here is what lsusb gives me:

When I don't run VB, windows adb gives me:

adb devices

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

Any idea?

Thanks.

I know this doesn't answer your question but I will say I often have had issues using a USB device through a virtual machine. My best suggestion is to set up a dual boot environment or just stick with a single operating system.

But ideas on how to fix is probably a permission problem, be sure you have the required permissions set up in advance

Hi readers and experts. Today I had a weird thing happen. As you can see from the image I uploaded my battery drained so rapidly from like 60% to an alert reporting me my battery was critally low. I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anything on this matter. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If your tablet is new, a defect battery is rare, most this problem comes from a cracked battery connector. Look other threats you will see the same problem as yours.

Most people think it's battery problem but the root cause is its connector: female white connector, attached to cable, and male black connector, soldered to main board.

90% comes from battery connectors, only 10% comes from bad battery.

Hello

My phone is a THL 4000.

I've been having this issue for awhile now, and although I've done plenty of research, I've not been successful in correcting this issue.

A few months ago, I was notified of a "wireless update" that improves my phones stability and radio, if I'm not mistaken, and the download I assume should be directly from the phone's manufacturer, so it has to be genuine, and yet I still get this issue. I'm aware that it's still possible to get this error pop up even on official updates and such, and I've even tried to remove the assert in the updater-script file, but I've not had any luck at all...

I've removed the asserts and it didn't work. There isn't even an assert line at the very top, but there are two at the very bottom of the file.

Please can someone download the file and check the contents, to identify the issue with their knowledge, as I severely lack on the know-how myself...

Here is a link to the updater_script: mediafire .com/download/l6r1uqw49w9hfr3/updater-script

(link has a space between fire com)

I figured that it would be more detailed & accurate for if someone else who possess the knowledge to actually know what I need to remove, and I'd greatly appreciate if someone could guide me around this pesky issue... A few days ago, my network signal all of the sudden blacked out, and it has a red x on it now; occasionally displaying a little magnifier on the signal bars and says 'no signal', 'no service', emergency calls only' in a rotation upon every time I attempt to check on the status. I've not had signal for almost 5 days now, and it has to be my phone. My SIM worked in another phone.. I'm just hoping it's this wireless network update, and I just can't seem to correct the issue and get rid of the status 7 recovery error. My phone can't be set up with a custom rom, but it is rooted, and I have CWM on it, but it doesn't get rid of error 7. I've tried removing the assert code, but with no luck... Unlike all of the other tutorials I've come across, this notepad layout doesn't include any "assert" on the first line either. Please can someone tell me how to resolve this problem? Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
Most of the time when I have seen Status 7 errors when flashing ROMs it is due to an out of date custom recovery. I'm not familiar with THL (This is a Samsung forum section) but many devices will not install an OTA update when rooted or with a custom recovery installed. I do have an Acer tablet that updated while rooted, but no custom recovery was installed. An off the top of my head guess about the lack of signal would be that your device may have corrupted the modum software when you attempted the OTA. Check your device and see if the modem version corresponds to what would coincide with the bootloader version.

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filz0r:
I've got the moto e 4g variant eurpean, or XT1024, and yesterday i've unlocked my bootloader, rooted, instaled a custom recovery and kernel, but i've got a few doubts about this and that...

For example in Xposed, i've installed xposed, by flashing the zip and installing the apk manually, but now it says my system is out of space, even though the device was wiped clean, i've cleaned the cache and davlik as i've seen on the internet.(solved via this method)

But does the memory leak module work on moto e? And what other modules do work with moto e? like xstana, gravitybox and so on

Second doubt when the OTA comes out, I can just factory reset my device via TWRP, loosing root, and after that updating to 5.1?

I have a few other doubts regarding the custom roms, if they're good as daily drivers or not. And if the method of installing the 5.1 update manually does bring any bug and if it ends that crazy lag that appears sometimes.

Thanks a lot for your time :)
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puertagustavo99:
I can only talk about 5.1 firmware, as I don't use Xposed. I manually flashed the 5.1 firmware for this phone and it's much better than before. Much faster, snappier, some bugs are not there anymore. There's no lag, well, I haven't experienced much. Something that annoys me is that Chrome takes about 4 seconds to start, it feels slow.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Djspinister:
Had this phone for quite awhile and I can't believe how hot this thing gets. I can be in my house paying some simple game and it will shut down because of the heat. Only threads I've seen on this subject pretty much tell you to not use your phone and you'll be fine, which is completely unacceptable. I do a lot of driving, I live in Texas and it gets hot, I usually have to hold it on front of my a.c. For a bit too get it to turn on. Getting very frustrating. I literally never have the brightness above half way. Anyone have a fix for this or just toss it and get a new phone that has the basics down?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekeiron:
It works by preparing to play an 'infected' media file that has code to exploit things on the phone. All the articles I've seen reference videos in mms (thus using hangouts and other messenger apps) or by websites using infected videos, but I'm sure someone could prepare a simple app that does the work using a pre prepared 'infected' video. Full details of the exploit aren't available yet though, just an initial announcement (the hackers that found it are giving full details at the Blackhat conference in Vegas between 1st-6th August) and I'm fairly certain amazons fire stick uses the stagefright library, but we have to wait til the full announcement to gauge how much access is given by the exploit.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Normal FireTV has stagefright entries in the build.prop file as seen via Kernel Tuner or a build.prop editor.

The "enable scan" entry among everything else stagefright related in build.prop on normal FireTV is true,so it should be vulnerable.

Maybe this can be used to root the latest firmware.

Here we go with a PoC from Trend Micro with a MKV to trigger a buffer overflow :)

ASLR & Co could make this a little bit complicated, but maybe ... just maybe... ;)

Is the media service running with system/root permissions?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old-Guy:
You are confusing two different vulnerabilities. The stagefright vulnerability allows for Remote Code Execution while the MKV vulnerability allows for a denial of service. The stagefright vuln may allow for a root exploit, but not the MKV vuln.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliander:
Why?

MKV is causing a buffer overflow. Stagefright - don't know what's happening.

Both seem to interact with the same service. If so, a buffer overflow should be usable to bring in runnable code - isn't it?

EDIT: Actually it seems it is exactly the other way round.

MMS -> Remote; only DOS AFAIK

MP4/MKV -> Buffer Overflow -> possible local Exploit

Someone correct me, but I'm pretty sure, I got this right.

But MKV bug is a buffer overflow - yeah, that crashes stuff, but if you know where you are getting in memory you could probably execute code with the rights of the service.

All my android devices are "vulnerable". Like a previous poster alluded...not sure this app is accurate. If it were then android has some serious issues to deal with.

You can sideload google play services. You can't use the playstore without root but you certainly can run apps that need google play services.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleBear1981:
Although I am weeded. I think this is similar to the buffer overflow used to hack the original PSP. Anyone remember that? A modified .tiff (picture) file caused the problem. In this case a video file is used instead. But must be called through libstagefright. So it should be fairly easy to make a MMS file + a script launched via file explorer or through a local terminal.

I would attempt it if I had a current aftv. However, mine has not been online since I got it.. So its still running the older rootable firmware. Collecting dust.. Lol. Waiting for lollipop.

So no one successfully blocked updates and got this to work? Or has one they haven't connected to internet?

Very curious about stick...I didn't have the foresight to block updates but will run out to bestbuy if I get word this works...

Btw--if we buy a new one, is the stick as aggressive as fire TV console at updating? There's no Ethernet cable to use so how would we skip initial updates?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
Best way to do it is to block the sites using OpenDNS. In fact, forget the Fire TV. Use OpenDNS to block spam and adware websites. It's worth it just for that. Also, I don't care for the DNS from Internet providers since they sometimes redirect you to their own website on a blocked or non-existent web address.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Thanks. As a precaution i did block the domains when I rooted my 2nd aftv but then i unblocked them. From what I understand, amazon has found a way to push updates anyway. Although blocking might give you the time you need to root and then block them on the rooted device.

I looked into using google's servers but after multiple tests it was confirmed that my ISP's was significantly faster (probably due to my already fast speeds and geo location?) I use an adblock on my mac's browser and other than that it's all android and there I use Adaway in xposed mods.

I was just talking about initial setup. Do you have a rooted device? The initial setup was easy to bi-pass with ethernet cable (though I heard in later versions of aftv that became much more difficult.)

Probably just getting my hopes up. I'm certain if it's bootable I'll find one in stores but not too hopeful the one I get won't have efuse factor in...I'm basing that off of how well the stick has been selling in my area so I might be getting one that was manufactured just a couple of months ago or newer.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp201:
I have an aftvstick that I have been blocking updates through my router and it still has the first OS rev on it. I would love a solution for obtaining permanent root on it. Just giving some feedback so devs know there are people out there interested in the stick also. I wonder if after attaining root on a stick if it possible to attache a micro usb hub that supplies power and connectivity at the same time and allow for usb keyboards and mice and memory cards to connect to the stick. Sometimes you can only do data or power and anygiven time.... which will probably be the case.
