automaticly flash Xposed after OTA

Hey

I'm on the custom recovery TWRP and updating my phone by using the CMupdater quite often.

As far as I can tell the OTA based on the open recovery sript which is located at /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript.

Now I want to flash Xposed by editing the open recovery sript with something like

install /path/to/xposed.zip

But unfortunateli I don't know how the CM updater is placing this file to edit it. :confused:

hope you can help me

Thanks in advance :)

For those users that can't get a GPS fix ( [MENTION=6559665]Dark1Angel[/MENTION] , [MENTION=425126]kisgeri[/MENTION] , [MENTION=7435356]Teekanne3000[/MENTION]), some users reported that only could get a fix with stock rom, and with custom roms the couldn't get a fix with the gps. The method that they used was:

- Since "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bak" are generated automatically, you could try and erase them, and them restart.

- If a Restart doesn't work , erase those files cited above, and do a clean install.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Teekanne3000:
Hello,

i have tested something with the gps issue and this are my results:

After changing the ntp address to a nearer address in /system/etc/gps.conf i have now roundabout eight satellites in the apps gps test and gps status and i they have a fix. i can't understand this because it doesn't matter where the ntp server is, isn't it?!

Anyway, after this, google maps and weather underground can't still find my location.

Then i delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak and reboot. nothing changed.

I have tested gps only mode before reboot and precision and gps only mode after reboot.

WARNING!!!

Never do this without an EFS backup, no one should be telling anyone to delete any file from the EFS folder without first advising them to do an EFS backup,

especially newbies who frequent the thread.

I used this trick on KK many times with no issue, but when i tried it early on with this ROM, it went very pear shaped and only my EFS backup saved my device.

From memory my issue was that at least the time i had the issue, this ROM was not regenerating the nv files after deletion and reboot. This can leave you

(and it left me) without a working phone. The only way to fix it, if you havent guessed by now is by having an EFS backup.

Do NOT do the above unless you have an EFS backup, and no what youre doing should it go badly

Think ive said EFS backup enough, hopefully you get the message
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vege666:
Can you advise a good EFS backup app?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] vege666:
I already have a backup, but I didn't like the app I used and I didn't trust it much, to be honest.

That's why I want to back it up again.

Hello,

i have problems with my nv_data files.

First, i have delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak.

After a reboot, nv_data.bin is back but with 0.0 B. nv_data.bak is still missing. My nv.log say "md5 compute error".

Sadly is, i don't make a efs backup.

Can someone explain me, what nv_data.bin is?

I think, i need help : (
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droidriven:
This can't be stressed enough, everyone take heed of this warning or you WILL certainly regret it.

An NVdata backup in Terminal Emulator is recommended at least(although restoring from TE has been known to cause devices to be stuck in Roaming), at best you should backup EFS via adb or other software that serves the same purpose.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droidriven:
Do you still have IMEI intact?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Teekanne3000:
can you tell me, how i can find this out, please?

I don't use a mobilephone-card in this device. i only use wifi. but i have a mobilephone-card here. must i put it in the galaxy s2 and look, if i can call someone to find out, if IMEI is intact?

Edit:

Sorry for my laziness. I have search in google and find out, that i have call *#06#.

When i call *#06#, a windows pop out and say IMEI, but no number there.

Is my phone broken now? : (
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kisgeri:
GPS success

I exprimented with different solutions:

1. editing "gps.conf" (or any app that edits it) did not work

2. deleting "nv_data.bin" and ".nv_data.bak" and reboot did not work, after reboot only "nv_data.bin" re-generated but ".nv_data.bak" NOT! After reboot IMEI data was false!

3. I copied booth files back to original place (before saved them to other place) and IMEI was than correct.

My solution:

4. For safety I restored EFS folder from a backup that I made years before. Rebooted and IMEI was still correct and finaly GPS started working in only device and high accuracy mode too. Maybe EFS folder was corrupted before.

Thanks for everybody who tried to help!

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

What do you see at settings -> about phone -> status -> imei information ?

Is it same or other than what you can see under the battery?

Before deleting the files did you saved them to other location?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droidriven:
If it isn't showing in system settings and the radio isn't turning on then you've probably wiped your IMEI or at least enough stuff that the system isn't recognizing the IMEI for what it is.

We can't discuss rewriting your IMEI even if you know what your IMEI was and want to rewrite it as it was, but we can discuss restoring it without going to a full on rewrite. I'm no expert in that area, I always avoid situations involving IMEI unless I have an EFS backup to work from.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Teekanne3000:
Thank you.

The IMEI is no more showing under system setting.

Does anyone know, if it enough for rewriting the IMEI, when you have the IMEI which is under the battery?!

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Boolian:
You could flash back to a stock ROM which will get you a generic IMEI ( 0049**"") then flash a modem suitable for your region.

Then flash CM13 again.

That should be fine for daily use. GPS etc.

I did this last week when I lost IMEI, everything worked fine.

(I had a backup of of my EFS folder & partition and restored it, but I didn't really need to)

You might only need original IMEI for certain purchased apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark1Angel:
I tried it and it found my location but google maps still doesn't find it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] p3dboard:
It should be as from what i have read, Netflix uses the Drm services for content protection. So once Drm is fixed, Google play movies, and hopefully Netflix should work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
No worries, for some of us its an old habit to have an efs backup done and handy :)

Yup, for those without an efs backup, flashing to the last stock ROM and then back to CM13 from scratch is about the only fix that may revive your IMEI, certainly the least time consuming in my opinion

In other news, ive had my own dramas today updating from a build 2 weeks ago to the 13th build, it removed my play store and corrupted my play services (which i cant even clear the cache of to try and fix), so im going to have to wipe and flash the latest build and reinstall everything again. This ongoing bugfest with CM13 nightlies is starting to peeve me....

After the full reinstall maybe ill even get round to testing gps...

One bug that drives me bonkers is conenctign a usb key via OTG cable....it takes like a random number of tries before its recognised, sometimes 20 inserts before its detected. Only ROM ive ever seen this happen on. Its REALLY annoying when youre trying to fix your phone form another CM13 bug and the only way you can is via USB OTG...

Tested Google play movies and it's now working great, and as already reported Drm L3 is supported.

On a side note from my research i found the difference between L1 and L3, L3 is software drm decoding, L1 is hardware Drm decoding so i think we will need to always stick with L3, as i doubt samsung will be producing an updated Hardware L1 widevine drm module for the s2.

Thanks for implementing the update.

Open Gapps Error "Setup Wizard" has been stopped working.

Get following massage after installation of Open Gapps: "Setup Wizard" has been stopped working.

-> Open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160515.zip installed -> "Setup Wizard" has been stopped.

Full Wipe nightly + Gapps installed -> -> "Setup Wizard" has been stopped.

Full Wipe Nightly installed -> reboot -> PlayStore_v6.5.08.D-all.apk -> Play Store can not be started.

I thought the solution with Playstore without Gapps might be better so I can install what I

need individually from the Play Store.

But unfortunately does not work the Play Store installation. (Also not with PlayStore_v6.1.12.apk + PlayStore_v6.0.5.apk)

It was also not possible for me to make a flashable zip from the PlayStore apk to install it from TWRP.

Has anyone an idea how I can solve my problem ??

Regards Klaus

Now I found a solution:

reboot into TWRP

mount System partition

delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard

CM auto-update 13/05 failed

Guys, with more than a month ago I have installed a Cyanogen Mod 13 nightly build from the official site. CWM-recovery was auto-installed as well.

I was satisfied (especially with the enormous speed of the system), but it was impossible to record a video with third-party application like Google Camera.

Recently I got a notification from the regular CM Updater system app that there are new nightly-builds available. I decided to install the latest one (13/05/2016) and hit "Download and Install". After auto-reboot phone showed the standard Android system update screen and then went black sometimes flashing screen.

Volume Up + Menu + Power Button gives nothing.

Volume Down + Menu + Power Button proposes to upgrade through the Odin.

Meanwhile an update on GPS tests...finally got around to it after all the failed CM13 update > removed Play Store/Corrupted play services > start from scratch drama over the last few days

Tested GPS with default gps.conf...lucky to get 4 satellites, and i got bored after 10 minutes waiting for a lock

Custom gps.conf - 6 satellites and eventually after 4 minutes..... a lock

both tests done with a GPS reset done in GPS Status & Toolbox

Sometimes gps needs a day or so to settle,so ill retest tomorrow

But yeah, not as quick to lock as before, i used to get a lock in under 40 seconds

I also use these for best chance when using gps (timezone database update and clock sync):

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Boolian:
Yeah, there's no way GPS will work properly/efficiently "out the box" Even S2 Stock ROM was notorious for GPS problems.

I always set gps.conf and download A-GPS database regularly.

Faster fixes only happen with "high accuracy" location using data/wifi. - So it's very important to flash a good modem configuration for your region/carrier.

It does make a big difference. I do these as the first configs after flashing any ROM.

Ive never had problems with GPS unless I miss out one of those three items.

There's also a very good old app which is still worth a look : "GPS Aids" (originally developed for the Galaxy S series) I used to use it to sort out GPS problems back in JB/KitKat

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kisgeri:
At stock ROM 4.1.2 and CM12.1 never had problems with gps. But now in CM13 is something gone wrong.

Before I wrote my solution was: "For safety I restored EFS folder from a backup that I made years before. Rebooted and IMEI was still correct and finaly GPS started working in only device and high accuracy mode too. Maybe EFS folder was corrupted before."

But sadly it seems to be only a temporary solution. Every time I update to next nightly I have to restore EFS folder, otherwise the gps is dead. I think this rom overwrites something in EFS folder. Tried many clean install with full wipe as well as CM12.1 and CM13 too. I have problems only in CM13.

Theese apps with editing gps.conf etc. are only speed up finding satellites. Without them gps should work as well.

I give a try to the app you recommended...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fireburner-de:
Thanks for clearing this. And sad, that is not as easy as i thought.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Boolian:
I don't think the GPS app will help if you have a problem with your EFS partition.

Perhaps it would be better to flash back to a working ROM (CM12 or Stock) then backup your EFS/Modem partition with eg: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions

Backup with ".IMG" file option and you can flash that directly from TWRP when you do a clean install of CM13 again.

Or try the "EFS pro app"
