I was listening to a podcast about law the other day. The host was reading from a warrant that was signed by a judge back in May. The warrant give the police the right to search a house and seize any evidence that they were looking for. But, it also authorized the police to take enhanced biometric data from anyone in the house that they believed owned a device that could be unlocked by fingerprint. The host also pointed out that the data they needed couldn't be a print that was lifted from a car, but a more 'enhanced' mapping of the fingerprint was required. You can invoke your fifth amendment right to not incriminate yourself by revealing your password, but there's little you can do to stop them from physically duplicating your prints to unlock your device. The host also pointed out that you can't change your fingertips, lol. They weren't clear on how they used the data to unlock the phone, or even if they did - which is what I'm most curious about.

I wonder if something like Smart Lock's On-Body Detection will eventually involve the fingerprint scanner. Like, imprint to unlock as long as the device hasn't been set on a flat surface. Otherwise, authenticate with a password.

However, I simply cannot get an android phone without root, I change so many things that a stock device is barely usable to me.

Hello. Did you find a way to block ads on the priv?
[BlackBerry Priv] weezul:
Hey guys

I can get rid of apps with my VPN, pia. It has an app that blocks ad servers on the way in.

However the battery usage goes right up and I ended up turning it off ha!
[BlackBerry Priv] gcbxda:
The only reasons i still haven't trashed this garbage phone are:

- firefox with noscript extension (waiting for uMatrix. If you don't like noScript to block ads, there is ad blocker extensions just fine. but blocking script also makes everything fast!)

- NetGuard (firewall, block network access to all apps that have ads and don't use network)

Use DNS66 from the f-droid repository. It blocks adds and doesnt use much if any battery.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrumsXO:
Hey, everyone.

This morning I noticed that there was a software update available for my Moto G. I was rooted at the time, so I flashed back to stock and un-rooted, then proceeded with the software update. I finished the whole process by re-rooting and then getting on to installing my apps again, personalizing, etc.

Now that it's all finished with, I notice that the majority of my internal memory is used up... Before I did this whole process, I had about half of it free, with the exact same apps downloaded and installed. The only thing that's really changed is the new software (from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1); is that what's eating up the extra space?

At present I have 466.7MB worth of downloaded and installed apps, and 4.13 out of 5.52GB worth of internal memory is used...

Any ideas?

[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
So guys, i've got my HTC One S ville c2 ( S-ON, hboot 2.09 ) and i somehow soft-bricked it. I found the RUU for me but it's stuck at sending every time, in any USB port. I tried before to flash a custom rom, actually i tried to flash like 6 custom roms unfortunatelly it didn't work. An by didn't work i mean i was able to install the soft with no errors but when i restarted the phone, it was frozen at logo. I flashed boot.img so it's not that. I really don't know what else i could do. I think my phone does not support any custom rom. I am able to get to recovery and bootloader so any help would be greatly apreciated. At this very moment i'm watching my phone's screen and it has the grey HTC simple logo because i am giving the RUU another shot. Probably it won't work, as always. Thank in advance !!! :):):):rolleyes:
[HTC One S] JavierG123:
Relock your bootloader and try the RUU for you specify CID. I recomend use a Windows 7 pc and usb 2.0
[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
i tried to flash the ruu but it just stays on sending 4ever. i used usb 2.0 and the version of the Ruu is corect. i check it before with fastboot getvar all. I just can't understand what's the problem. The checking is all fine but it just doesn't send the damn package to the phone. If someone could give me a working ROM for

[HTC One S] JavierG123:
Your pc recognize the phone in fastboot mode?
[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
yes i said it can. otherwise how could i run "fastboot getvar all" ? anyway i managed to update the hboot version to 2.11.000. Now everything seems diferent. Even the well-know htc red message from boot "this build is for development purpuses only ... bla bla" has the row-spacing way smaller and when i enter recovery there is a message at the logo in the upper part "Entering recovery..." Maybe i am able to install some CM but i still have the flash the boot.img trough fastboot because i am S-ON. :mad::mad::mad:
[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
ok. so i flash a CM 10.1 everything went fine. I flashed the boot.img from the zip and when i restart the phone It boots and instead of logo animation is just shows random green or red strips. What's going on?
[HTC One S] JavierG123:
Well... You should try search the SaM Rom thread, in this Forum (One S C2 develpment) install his recovery and his rom. Its based on stock rom

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

@juganarucaliner steps to use a ruu

1)plug your phone to the PC and set it to charge only.

2)go to settings>applications>development>check USB Debugging.

3)go to settings>power>uncheck "fastboot".

4)remove your phone from the USB (charge).

5)hold the power button and shutdown your phone.

6)hold volume down button and hold down the power button,a white screen with options should appear.

7)select the first option (fastboot).

8)when in fastboot plug your USB cable into the phone and PC,you should see "fastboot USB".

9) now move to your PC and start the RUU setup,proceed normally with the wizard and hopefully the setup will run successfully.

note:do not run htc sync while updating,simply go to the HTC website and download the latest HTC sync,install it and make sure it installs the drivers and then shut it down.
[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
I managed to install with aroma etc etc and then i flashed the boot.img inside /kernel/one s c2 but i am still stuck at logo. :crying::crying:
[HTC One S] juganarucaliner:
So finally i was able to flash RUU from http://androidruu.com/index.php?developer=VilleC2

Follow these steps if you run into the problem i had:

1. install the ADB files. I had them before but it seems like they were corrupt or something. I am running Windows 10 now so for who is trying to do this on Windows 8, 8.1, 10 make sure you have the registry fix that can be found here http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-s/general/guide-fix-fastboot-windows-8-1-t2858337.

2. After you have succesfully managed to install all of this give the PC a restart

3. Try to flash the RUU for your device

4. After it completes unlock the bootloader and flash your recovery

5. Now you can update your firmware from 2.11 to 3.01 by following this guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2234559

6. Now it's your time to shine! Choose whatever Rom you want. but just don't forget to flash the boot.img after installation.

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:Happy flashing !

My phone is Lumia 1520 RM-940, and I have tried everything humanly possible to fix it but i couldn't.

The phone is bricked and no rom will ever flash on it because of the wrong platform ID error

guys if anyone has any idea how to either skip the id check or change a platform id of the rom to match the corrupted one or any other solution. then please help.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonbonz:
Are you using the updated tool and what mode is your phone in? These were downloaded directly from the WPRT which has been rebranded and updated to Windows Device Recovery Tool. If you are stuck with Emergency Download mode QHUSB_DLOAD/QHUSB_BULK then use Emergency payload cmd

thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile MPRG8974_fh.ede -edfile RM927_fh.edp

or

thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile MPRG8974_fh.ede -edfile RM940_fh.edp

Or just try using the updated tool if you haven't already :D
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekhader:
Hi,

Thanks for replying,

Yes I am using the latest tool and the device is in flash mode so its not stuck in the emergency mode.

the problem is that the recovery tool changed the device Platform ID from : Nokia.MSM8974.P6081_ATT.2.2 -----> Nokia.MSM8974..2.2

so after this change everytime i try to flash it gives the error : Platform Id Check failed, even though i am using the official and correct version of the firmware.

I have tried so many things to bypass this check but they all failed.

I wonder if the emergency flashing of the device was the cause of changing the Platform ID, I am not sure how the tool even managed to change the device Platform ID, and thinking is there anyway i can return the original platform ID ???

and by the way the attached files you posted for RM-940 they are corrupted or something winRar couldn't extract them.

-Thanks
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonbonz:
Fixed corrupt zip....Thank you!!! Are you in UEFI flash mode (thunderbolt/gear symbol) or Nokia flash? What tool are you using to flash? See if thor2, WP Image Designer, or ffutool recognize the device the same. I used WPID to flash ffu downloaded from navifirm after emergency flash because Recovery Tool kept getting corrupt ffu file. If all else fails you can try hard reset using power and volume button combos.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekhader:
Yes the device is in UEFI flash mode, but its completely dead bricked no screen showing no hard or soft reset, nothing showing on the device no vibration no power off/on.

the only way i communicate with the device is through the usb and thor2.exe

I tried to use the ffutool but it won't detect the phone, and neither would the WPID. even though the Nokia NSU and WDRT do detect the device. Is there a special thing should be done so the ffutool could detect the device?

I even made a modified version of the FFUClient/FFuComponent.dll to flash device and changed the usb code detection but still I couldn't get it to work.

BTW the RM-940_firehose.zip you uploaded is still corrupted, i would be happy to try it out and see if this has any effect on the Platform ID of the device.
