As far as I know safestrap is only to replace a cutom recovery to circumvent a locked bootloader. Root is an entirly different beast. I hope I'm wrong, but I've had the AT&T note 4 for a year and no root love yet, so I may be a bit jaded. I will say that it is not as necessary as it use to be, but I can't imagine how fast this thing would be with root and custom ROM. On the same token I'm excited to use samsung pay so I'm currently happy rocking stock, albeit super debloated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] 17akota:
I'm aware of safestrap used for custom recovery. I was just saying that it was something that was off the wall from what we were all used to, but it worked.

I'm not a noob, but I guess I am in this regard.... BL count is different than tripping Knox, correct? Any ill effects from adding to the BL count?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Acill:
I dont care about ROOT or custom ROMs anymore. If we could get a safe cleaned stock ROM with all of the AT&T junk pulled completely out it would be amazing. I use package manager to get it all disabled now, but having the space it all steals back would be a nice bonus.

I have hotspot and USB tether on mine, not sure what you are talking about here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
Even if you could root and delete that stuff (instead of just disabling it) you wouldn't gain any space. The "free" space would just sit unused in the normally read-only system partition.

In order to gain space, you'd have to repartition the device... which is rarely done.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Acill:
I didnt think about that. So it still isnt any better than just using package disabler pro to get it all out of sight. It would still be nice to not need to depend on a 3rd party app to get rid of it all.

Is there a guide to rooting 5.1 with MoFo? Plus are there any free options? I'm willing to pay but $20 is kinda too much for me.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
You have 5.1 right now? If so you are out of luck. Mofo and sunshine require you to be on 5.0 or 4.4.4. In which case there is no known way for you to root. Sorry.

Hi,

I had a LOCKED version of HTC AMAZE 4G with WindMobile Canada.

I rooted my device and I get unlock file from HTCdev website too.

I flashed a custom ROM on my phone...

Now bootloader shows:

*** UNLOCKED ***

RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.93.0002

OpenASDP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202

eMMC-boot

Mar 15 2012, 21:46:51

As you seen, my phone's status changed to UNLOCKED and I have a custom ROM on it.

BUT when I tried to use another sim card (rogers) on my phone, It shows: Network error: enter 8 digit code!

can anybody help me in this problem?

Also, I tried to back to stock WINDMOBILE ROM but it shows HBoot version error.

How can I get back to stock rom? just with S-OFF? and if yes, how to do S-OFF?

Thank you for your time and supports.

Andorid version: 4.0.3

Baseband version: 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15D

Kernel version: 3.0.16-gb80210f

Build number: IML74K
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
The unlock you see is for bootloader unlock. It is different from sim unlock.

If you fail to enter the code enough times you can never do it the normal way. If you're s-off (you're not right now) you can also do a sim unlock regardless.

If flashing the RUU didn't work, I don't remember how to fix it. You couldn't have changed the CID if you weren't s-off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Aqdam1978:
----------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your help, but my phone is "NETWORK LOCK", sim card has optional lock code that it is disable in my phone, so, my phone is not Sim locked, It's just Network Locked!

So, How is it possible? as I know bootloader is dedicated for carriers (e.g. WindMobile), and now I have unlocked phone but it does not accept any other sim card because of network locked situation!?

Thanks,

[Android Head-Units] kilohercas:
Hello, for my new car ( Subaru BRZ 2015 series blue) i want to replace original headunit from Subaru with something better. I looked at marked, and only Parrot RNB 6 was up to the task, but it was only demo, no units will be sold.

So i started to search tablet/phone, that could be converted to headunit, most important, it must be fast, high quality large display, no buttons, drilling or anything on touchscreen, and so on. I was unable to find anythink that will fit inside 20x10cm space ( yes, nexus 7 would be good, but i don't like this device for some reason)

[IMG="Nvidia Shield"]http://cdn.gsmarena.com/pics/14/07/nvidia-shield-tablet-full-details/gsmarena_002.jpg[/IMG]

So i get Nvidia Shield 16GB wifi model. Now i have a lot of skills in analog and digital electronics ( apart from usb/lan and other high level communication), so i want to get few ideas how to create/mimic original headunit features. i will name each with number, and if some one has good idea how to do it, please attach the number to message, to keep it simple.

1) Turn on with ignition and turn off with engine as normal head units do. I think i will add much larger battery keep it alive, and use MCU for voltage monitoring, so it will disable battery if it discharge main battery too much. like 13V cutoff.

2) Ability to connect to phone via blue-tooth, so it will use it's own speakers and mic for conversation. usual headunit functionality. I will connect mic to car original microphone location, same for speakers.

3) better audio, i will use original stereo speakers or microphone jack in order to get sound. I will do amplification myself. I will try to make my won audio dsp, that will handle some effects, and create small delay from original signal into back speakers, for 3D sound effect.

4) Use cameras as video registrator and backup cameras. Car does have reverse signal , so it will be nice to integrate it somehow, also will try to play with USB video class cameras, that could be used as video registration,just will it record in background and do video loop ? Or just delete original file after travel and use 32/64gb card.

5) motion based video/pictures capture, since Nvidia Shield does have multi-axis accelerometer it would be nice to capture images video when car is parked, and moved, this would be so nice to have

6) does any one have other simple ideas? Remember, i am good with power electronics, micro controllers ( high end ones, no arduino for me, too slow), audio dsp processors and so one.
[Android Head-Units] mikereidis:
If you mean trying to turn the shield into what looks like a BT headset, my understanding is that this is POSSIBLE, but that it's a huge amount of work.

I think it's Qualcomm that has code for this, so it might be feasible mostly on Qualcomm BT/combo chips. The effort required seems to be akin to creating your own ROM. I think somebody, somewhere, may have done this once on some device.

I think your biggest need is software, lots and lots of software, requiring lots of work and tweaking to get exactly what you want.

Who is going to build and maintain this software ?

Best chances are with devices that are VERY popular, like Nexus 7 2013 (and yet I think nobody has ever turned an N7 into a BT headset equivalent), And 2013 is 2 years ago and Google no longer sells it (but $150 new on Amazon etc.)

More obscure devices have little chance of finding developers when MUCH more popular devices have found few devs.
[Android Head-Units] nixfu:
Frankly I think you are much better off using one of the CarJoying.com , etc headunits. There is more than just an android tablet to them. There is quite a bit of additional hardware, and even a separate micro-controller running a whole bunch of firmware at a very low level, to tie it all together.

For the cost of these headunits ($200-$300) its not worth it at all to try to build your own, and whatever you have will never be as functional using a regular tablet as the base.
[Android Head-Units] kilohercas:
It would be nice to use tablet, because hardware usually is at lest one order of magnitude better than any car head unit. Display is full HD, not 800x480, also, it is larger, and is around 20cmx12cm ( so i will have to create my own front panel to mount it, but i think i can do a good job too)

Lookup Nvidia Shield tablet specifications, can you find any headunit, at least 2x less powerful ? No, you can't !

Processor	NVIDIA® Tegra® K1 192 core Kepler GPU 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex A15 CPU with 2GB RAM

Display	8-inch 1920x1200 multi-touch Full HD display

Audio Front facing stereo speakers, dual bass reflex port with built-in microphone

Wireless	802.11n 2x2 Mimo 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.0 LE GPS / GLONASS

Regarding power up/down, it looks like i could use original feature, to keep LCD alive if charging is plugged, just question how to clear all programs, so it would consume as little power as possible ?
[Android Head-Units] SilverS4sAreFaster:
The 1024x600 screen is more then enough for an in dash. I'm VERY pleased with mine, I even bought a Nexus 7 with the same thoughts as you but to get even half the functionality that my CarJoying head unit has would have taken years. It's also got the quad core processor and is very quick, in fact it works better then my Nexus 7 does since Lollipop killed my 7.
[Android Head-Units] Kriszilla:
It's not about power, it's about integration. I have 3 Shield LTE tabs in my household, along with a car audio install that I'm gearing up to compete in MECA's ModEx sound quality class next season.

I tried the Shield route. I wanted it to work, I really did. There were just too many small issues that added up to an overall big headache... The OTG integration just isn't there, for one. The Joycon for the steering wheel controls is, well, not the best. I was constantly having to unplug / replug the OTG cable to get an external drive and outboard DAC to recognize. EasyCap for the backup camera is kludgey at best. And, let's face it, it takes forever to boot up and running the thing sans battery with a direct wire connection is still an amperage hog even in standby.

I ran the Pioneer AppRadio 3 with AppRadio Unchained to get full Android access with an RK3288 HDMI stick for awhile, then upgraded to the Pioneer 8100 NEX with the same stick, but the occasional bluetooth hang preventing me from having touchscreen access on both decks wasn't cutting it.

I now use the Newsmy NU3001 and couldn't be happier. The display is perfect for the car, for competition I use an HDMI audio splitter to feed optical to my DSP to play FLAC files. If I need to play a CD, I have an Alpine changer with optical out also going into my DSP.

All I can tell you is good luck. I hope you have more patience than I did.
[Android Head-Units] kilohercas:
I understand, that for some users that will be hard to do.

my basic needs are very easy to integrate, navigation/music/power_up/power_down. This is very easy to manage with additional microcontroller ( and i am good at that), that takes control over volume buttons, power button, and i can do power management based on do i get power from car, and if yes, what is voltage on car's battery, so i could do intelligent decision will i keep tablet in standby ( locked screen) mode, or i should disconnect power all together to drain no power at all.

By looking at screen back light, and voltage levels on connection to the car, i can lock or unlock device, so this take care of basic functionality, i will also add few capacitive buttons for volume control on panel itself. And i know that were is a program, that will pause audio, if some one press power button, so i get last bit of functionality i need.

Car does not have any volume or other buttons on the steering wheel or anything, and original head unit from Subaru BRZ only could manage calls, sms messages from phone, and play music, and do navigations. So i can reproduce at least 75% of original head unit functionality simply by using 12V-> 5V USB charger. Original amplifier is in the back on th car, so i can use speakers output as my main audio. That it !

Attached is a current picture of my today screen. Im trying to do a number of things and havent been able to come across much concrete info when searching the forums.

Anyways here is what Im trying to do:

1. Remove ALL icons from the bottom of the screen (battery and active sync in this case)

2. Remove the black horizontal line just above the icons on the bottom

3. Remove the bar with Calendar and Contacts but only from the today screen

4. THe top icon for the battery, Ive seen it where people have percentages rather than a few bars, how can I change that?

Thanks guys.. trying to clear some room for my calendar stuff and the HTC plugin takes up over half the screen by itself. Thanks
[General Topics] kdskamal:
Sad day for human intelligence ;)

1. The second icon is not activesync icon. It is for the comm manager

To remove it, you'll need a registry editor. Then, go to HKLM>>services>>wirelessMgr>>keep=0

Regarding battery icon, I need to know whether the exe responsible for the battery icon is being used as a service or as a normal app.

Most probably, you can remove by going to File explorer>>windows>>startup>> here, you'll find a init(something).lnk file(i cannot remember the exact file name). Delete that file and soft reset

Second scenario(where it is used as a service): using registry editor>>HKLM>>services>>power>>ShowIcon=0

2. This line will be automatically removed once the icons from the bottom-bar are removed :)

3. For this, the max you can do is to match the line's bgcolor with the today bgcolor. Use an app like UItweaker to do that. Do a search on the forum and you'll find it

4. That can achived by either using batterypack pro/wisbar advance(differs from theme to theme)
[General Topics] RoachForLife:
Sorry that I brought down all of human intelligence..................

Anyways regarding number 3, I was hoping to remove the words Calendar and Contact as well as the bg behind it. Im trying to get as much real estate here as I can.

Use dcinobar - it will remove the lower bar, so calendar and contacts button will go.

Awesome. Before putting this on one quick one. Will this remove those buttons and lower bar JUST on the today screen? FOr apps and stuff Id like it to still be there. Not sure if I can have my cake and eat it too but would love to try =P

[Nexus 9 General] jd1639:
OK, I see that this subject has not been properly addressed in this forum and there are a lot of users who still use tool kits,etc. for this. That's fine but you're missing out on how to more effectively manage your device. I'm writing this off the top of my head, and on my n9 which is not so easy, so I may modify it in the future.

The first thing you want to do is learn how to use fastboot. Fastboot allows you to flash image, .img, files on your device. If you've never done that start here, http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153

Rooting is as simple as flashing a custom recovery on your device and then booting into that recovery and flashing Chainfires supersu.

So how do you flash a custom recovery? Well I strongly recommend twrp. Download the latest from here, https://dl.twrp.me/flounder/ I always find it easier to rename the file you download to simply recovery. Make sure you maintain the .img file extension. Download this onto your pc and remember what folder you downloaded it to.

Then download the supersu.zip file to your device. Download from here, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU

Now you're ready to get started. Boot your device into the bootloader and connect it to your pc.

On your computer open the folder where you downloaded the twrp image. On an open area in that folder shift, right click on your mouse. You should see a pop up and a place to "open a command window here" In that command window type, fastboot devices. If you see your device's serial number you're good to go to flash the twrp image file.

OK, the Nexus 9 is not as easy to root as other Nexus devices. So start by typing, fastboot boot recovery.img. (Remember I told you to rename the twrp image file to recovery, if you didn't do that use the full name of the twrp file you downloaded for recovery.img) Once you boot into twrp go to install and find the supersu.zip you downloaded onto your device. Install it.

Then from twrp, boot back into the bootloader.

Once booted into the bootloader open a command window in the same folder as you have the twrp image downloaded. Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You're now rooted and have twrp installed.
[Nexus 9 General] stonebear:
Having major problems trying to do this on Marshmallow, lol.
[Nexus 9 General] jd1639:
This no longer works as described on 6.0. I can get you rooted but I can't get twrp to work properly. It doesn't decrypt the device. But you'll need a usb stick.

To the usb stick copy flar2's elemental x kernel, http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/orig-development/kernel-elementalx-n9-0-02-alpha-t2931657. Also copy supersu, http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Boot into twrp:

fastboot boot twrp.img. Use twrp 2.8.7.0 and the full name of the image file

When you boot into twrp hit cancel. It'll boot into twrp but won't decrypt your device. In twrp go to mount and mount your usb stick. Then from twrp flash the elemental x kernel. Then flash supersu.
[Nexus 9 General] tykalx:
so mounting the usb stick to the pc, it will be recognized by twrp?
[Nexus 9 General] mrRobinson:
If you don't have USB stick, adb sideload worked for me to flash supersu beta 2.5.1

And I'm using stock modified kernel chainfire posted to keep selinux enforcing.
[Nexus 9 General] jd1639:
No, you need a usb stick and adapter to the device. But what mrRobinson said should work too. You can do that from your pc.
[Nexus 9 General] stonebear:
Thanks, that worked. :)

I went and installed Busybox, not sure if I needed to?

I really want to get this thing decrypted now but am happy to wait for a Marshmallow solution rather than go back. I suppose I could flash a ROM without forced encryption from the flash drive too? As long as I do a full wipe?

I only got my N9 a week ago and haven't had time to play with it so all this encryption stuff is new to me.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

I am rooted but can;t copy hosts file over, system is read-only, is this an encryption thing or has something gone wrong please?

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

One more question.. :)

If I was to factory reset and then flash the kernel and supersu would I get an unencrypted device? Or if I hit the "decrypt data" button in the "wipe" menu in TWRP? I am scared to press it, lol.
[Nexus 9 General] jib@rmi.ge:
Excuse me but this only adds confusion in case of 6.0. So far the most comprehensive guide I found here is this one (see also an answer there).

That solution involves wiping data, so you need your stuff backed up somewhere. In my case I restored playstore apps from google account and just reinstalled the rest from apks.
[Nexus 9 General] stonebear:
I answered my own questions here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/help/decrypt-marshmallow-question-t3222592. Thanks again for the help jd1639. :)
[Nexus 9 General] bouncingsoul:

[Nexus 9 General] sjrixon:
Any difference when already running 7.0?
[Nexus 9 General] damoisture:
I keep getting stuck in a bootloop after flashing SuperSu. Any thoughts on this? I've tried wiping caches/dalvik. Running latest stock version of 6, latest version of TWRP, installed proper ElementalX for Android version, boots fine after the kernel install.
[Nexus 9 General] PGHammer:
For N (and MM in some cases), you need systemless support - which the current version of SuperSU has. (Magisk 12.0 has it as well.)

Where Magisk (vice SuperSU) has advantages is being able to hide that you're rooted (Android/Samsung Pay, Visa Checkout, SafetyNet, etc.) - which is, in fact, why I am evaluating Magisk.

So far, I have seen next to no disadvantages to N - even on "moldy" SoCs (such as the TI OMAP in my Galaxy Nexus - the oldest hardware I've heard of - let alone seen - running N on a daily basis; I run N as a daily driver). I even prefer N to MM, let alone anything older, on the selfsame GNex (which utterly flies in the face of "common wisdom"; it makes me wonder, in fact, if "common wisdom" is a coverup for "fear of change", since said "common wisdom" predates Android by several years).
