Yeah, my bad. I did flash an old recovery, though of the AT&T type. I currently have the ROM.zip from the appropriate RUU version, but can't find a tool that can decrypt it so I can access the Recovery.IMG. All the ones I found were outdated. Do you know what I can do at this point?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] yumi1996:
I got the correct RUU. However, I am unable to extract the Recovery from the ROM.zip as it is encrypted. All the decrypt tools I found were old and didn't support any new devices like the M8. Do you know of a current one?

Did you actually search? It took me less than a minute to find this thread:

Looks like there's a 4.28.502.1 firmware zip there that you can extract the recovery from.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] yumi1996:
Well thank you very much. I did indeed search, but didnt think to look for a ROM like this that had the stock recovery. I am new to these processes, and didn't make the connection.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] yumi1996:
So, I downloaded the ROM and inside the firmware zip there weren't any files that look like a recovery. What would it be called?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appuls:
Any way to disable Air Command?

So in a bunch of the art softwares for Android, you can use the S Pen's button and assign it to undo, or flip the canvas, or whatever you want. So I set it to undo, which is immensely useful. Problem is, every time I hit the button, the stupid Air Command menu comes up which I have to click out of. I have tried ending the service but it starts back up immediately, and since you can't root the Note 5 on Verizon AFAIK, I can't find a way to disable the service completely. On previous Notes, wasn't there a way to turn this off? I need to make it so that hitting the button on the S Pen does nothing. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniquebarbee:
Have you tried the General S pen settings?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appuls:
Well yeah, the Air Command settings are in the S Pen settings.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appuls:
I only have two options: I can disable the persistence of the Air Command icon on the screen, and I can choose whether removing the S Pen triggers it, but there is no option to turn Air Command off.

Hello,

I'm having the same issue, I use a few art apps that utilize the S pen button to toggle undo or eraser... I was bummed that I couldn't find any setting to turn air command off.. how could it be, it was possible in previous note models and tablets.

anyone, is there a way to disable air command in Note 5?

Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.

I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.

I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .

But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?

If possible, could you post links thanks.

Alright so from all the research I did about finding a solution to put my contact's birthday's into my calendar, Outlook is definetly required? I guess it must've slipped my mind somehow that Outlook was necessary, 'cause I never noticed it until I upgraded to WM6 and found that, with a week outside of updating to a non-outlook PC.

So is it true? That Outlook is the one who was giving me all those happy reminders of birthdays and anniversaries? Or is my neverending search for some registry key will continue for months to come?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrockJT:
Unable to unroot and root issues!

Hi there,

So I recently performed a factory reset on my sony xperia z2 while it was still rooted with kingo root to update my phone. I realized this was a mistake and I should've removed the root first using the kingo software (kinguser) before performing the factory reset. Now I keep getting the following message from root checker (Sorry! root access is not properly installed on this device). I've tried everything to remove the root and reinstall root (Kingo Root fails every time) but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to manually remove all kingo root files? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank Youu

Hmm...a simple factory reset does not update the phone, though it will wipe all your settings, basically returning your phone to its factory state. What version of Android were you on when rooted? What version are you on now? Did you take an over-the-air (OTA) update?

New battery discharge in 2 stages

Hey guys

I have replaced my opo battery one month ago, at the beginning I thought it was a ROM problem when I realized it happens with every existing ROM for opo:

Basically the new battery discharge from 100 to 0 in about 3 hours and the phone turns off, if I wait 5 minutes and I turn the phone on I will have the battery back to 65% which discharge in about 3 more hours.

I did already the calibration and stuff like that...it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Hey there,

I've a problem on my SM-G350. I once set my install location to extrenal via ROM Toolbox Lite. I took out the SD card one day and the other day I tried to install an app and it said that I can't install it to my standard install location, which was fine. I connected it to adb and typed in

pm set install-location 0

I got no error message (I got no message at all), and so I thought it worked, but it didn't. I also entered the command so that everything will be installed on the internal storage but that didn't help either.

What else could I do or what could be the cause of this problem?

Hi,

I use Google's TTS engine, so I thought I could disable Samsung's and get rid of the language files it has downloaded.

Sadly, I can't seem to find the application on the list of installed applications under Application Manager. In fact, I don't know what it's called.

Also, I don't know the location of the language files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goobyjr9:
Samsung TTS is called "Samsung text-to-speech engine" under the "All" category for me. I would also like to know how to delete unused language files.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Yeah, it's supposed to be called that way, but I haven't got it under All.

I'm running 5.1.1 (G925IDVU2COGA).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabadanpaz:
Found it. The name is different because my system language is Spanish. Anyway, it can't be disabled. Maybe if you were rooted you could.

You can "erase data", but in my case the data is 40KB, so I don't think that will get rid of the language files, which are 100MB in size.

Also, even if we knew where the language files are located, we probably couldn't erase them, unless we are rooted. Anyway, if anyone knows the location, at least I'd like to try.

Root section #​

Hello guys,

after 45564564165 hours of research (joke but this took me about 1 week ._.) I finally rooted Project Astoria

Images

​

Current issues​

Apps can't request root because of limit of project astoria. I'm working on it.

Procedure​

Perform an Hard reset first.

After settings up, deploy Root Tool.

Go to Lumia Registry Editor, click on navbar > templates and then select all.

Close the app and go to settings > Update and security > For developers.

Enable developer mode and click on Discovery. It should show to you the pin.

Download Astoria Tools.rar

Extract it.

Open that extracted folder.

You should see wconnect and so on.

On the "void" area, make SHIFT + Right click, and then click to "Open Command prompts here".

Write wconnect usb and write the pin.

After this, download AOW shortcut.7z in the attachment, extract it, copy that in your phone, example "Phone\Documents"

Now, go to your phone and open File Explorer. Open Documents and click on Aow shortcut

Go to RootFS directory and delete the file init.

Warning, there are 2 files, you need to delete "init.rc", it has about 20-19 KB.

Restart now your phone.

Keep it plugged on computer and wait about 5 minutes. it should you show "Windows Phone" device connection.

Open it and go to: Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS

Download from Astoria folder link, the latest Rootkit & Gapps version.

Extract it.

Copy ALL Files to the phone (Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS).

It ask you if you want to replace/merge files. Say Yes.

Press yes if it show this to you:

After you finished you need to set MTP to the standard path.

Download CustomPFD and deploy it.

Open that app.

Navigate to TWEAKS PAGE and click to General tweaks.

Navigate to UTILITIES: check FULL FS ACCESS and uncheck again.

Restart your phone.

Download Superuser.rar and extract it on Astoria tools folder.

After boot, connect to your pc and install superuser.apk (adb install superuser.apk)

After installation, you can launch the command "adb shell" and as you can see you are a root user

I'm really destroyed but at the same time happy :D

THANKS​

djamol and ngame for his Interop Unlock method/app.

Marocco2 for his help.

snickler for his help.

Pasqui industry for making CustomPFD.

(I forgot someone?)

And all member of XDA and the world itself :P

Download​

Astoria Folder (Astoria Tools - AOW shortcut - Rootkit & gapps): http://astoriafolder.adeltax.com (Redirect to mediafire)

Attached some files because of problem with mediafire (stupid block)

-- EDIT --

If you have problem with installing APK after root, go to your phone and delete packageinstaller.odex using Aow shortcut and going to RootFS > System > app folder (The lowest size, approx 153 KB)

[Windows 10 Mobile] Ranomez:
But there do exist insecured su binaries, I had installed on my HTC Touch Pro 2 when I was using that, basically every app had su access without asking me but then I realized just how dangerous that is so I switched back to SuperSU, not sure if/where you can find such a binary today though, especially an updated one to work with android 4.4 and SELinux.
[Windows 10 Mobile] ADeltaX:
If you have that binary, please send me it, i'll modify for project Astoria.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Ranomez:
I might still have it somewhere in my PC but it would probably be pretty useless as that binary was made for android 2.3.x or 2.2 (don't remember) and many things in android changed since then, the chance of it working on 4.4 are quite slim.

Anyway I will look for it if I get the time but even if it's there I'm not sure I'll find it, my PC is a real mess, full of things even dating from 2006 or before.
