[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddite:
Hi there! I'm new to this phone, coming recently from an old Galaxy S3. So far I'm loving this version of android over the bloat that Samsung had me with before. One thing I do really miss though, is the separate lines for volume. On the S3 if I adjusted the volume it let me manually adjust it for media/ringtone etc. This one only has one slider.

If I have my phone set to vibrate with the ringer off but then open a video or a game, it jumps to whatever volume I last used in a video or a game. Anyone know a workaround for this? I didn't see anything hiding in the settings regarding this.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghvinadze:
Hi guys I need your help.

I have M9 and first time I had installed unlocked/developer version of firmware 1.32.617.30 and performed full installation of insertcoin ROM ICE 3.1.2 and it installed successfully but didn't boot . It was stucked on starting apps screen then it rebooted and continiued optimizing apps from 0 to 158 and repeated this cycle all the time . Then I installed firmware 2.10.401.1 (read that it was based on latest firmware ) but the resuilt was the same . Now I have installed lollipop 5.0.2 Insertcoin 2.1.6 and it works well but why amn't I able to update it to 5.1.1 ? am I doing something wrong ? I also tried to install Android Revolution HD rom, and other 5.1.1 based roms but problem still remains.
[XDA Assist] 87TB:
Hello there.

I have 2 galaxy s4 phones, one verizon and one ATT. I have verizon service and recently broke the whole lcd unit on my verizon galaxy s4. Is it possible for me to A) swap the display from the ATT to the VZW without breaking it, B) Swap the internals somehow C) Take the CDMA radio/antennas etc. and replace the ATT ones with the verizon parts and then have a compatible phone with VZW CDMA.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You should be able to just swap the digitizer+glass from one to the other. You can still post your question in the link below just to be certain.

[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Hi,

Does anyone know if this phone can be fully UN-rooted so apps like Barclays Bank app and Pingit can work on it?

Supersu unroot doesn't work nor do Hide Root stuff.

Mine was pre-loaded with Eragon ROM by the Ebayer who I got it from which in general was a good thing.

In the meantime, I've put it back to stock.

Can anyone install Pingit app on this phone? (you don't need a Barclays account or anything... just try and install it and it detects root).

Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Hmm no replies to this one.

OK, can someone confirm to me whether the P8000 is FULLY unrooted when it's new? The hardware is great so I'm thinking of getting the Vowney but not if Elephone mobiles are rooted from the start.

I know it's all about rooting and putting custom ROMs but it's annoying when some apps you NEED (like banking) won't run on them.

Can someone who hasn't done anything to their P8000 check for me please? Just download the Barclays Pingit app and try to install it. If it installs, it's fully unrooted.

Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] zip2-rider:
You can install the Stock Firmware with so Flashtool soul be unrooted then

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Certainly with my P8000 and many others from comments in this forum, the phone came with some of the necessary root files/binaries installed. To root all that was necessary for me was to install SuperSU from the Play store.
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Yeah, my hope is to fully UN-root the phone (so it's NOT rooted). There are certain apps like Barclays Banking and Pingit apps that won't install if it even sniffs that it's been rooted.

So, the guy I got the phone from put Eragon OS on it for me. So it must have got rooted then.

I've flashed it myself following the instructions on the official Elephone site using the Flashtool and put the latest Stock Rom on (complete with malware!) but it is still classified as ROOTED.

Root Checker says: Root access is not properly installed on this device.

My other phone (LG G Flex 2) is DEFINITELY not rooted and it comes up with the same 'not properly installed' as well but is ok with Barclays apps.

If I flashed the stock back on, should I theoretically be fully unrooted (obviously not...). What do I need to do to FULLY unroot it please?
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Do you have SuperSU installed?
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Nope, I've literally just flashed it with the latest stock ROM (20151105). No virus in this one!

Barclays apps still think it's rooted.

Sorry for asking noob questions but Root doesn't survive Flashing does it?
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Try checking with root checker app from playstore
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Yeah I said in the previous post:

Root Checker says the same on my definitely UNROOTED LG G FLex 2 and on my Stock Rom P8000 which I've just flashed.

Root access is not properly installed on this device.

Barclays Bank app works fine on my Flex but root is detected on the P8000 saying it's rooted.

So is it possible to TOTALLY UN-ROOT the phone? UN-ROOT. Not Root.

UN

-ROOT.
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Download es file manager ,go to system check sbin,xbin and bin folders for su files and delete them if you find any
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Interesting...

So, for example, in the xbin folder I have:

sugote

sugote-mksh

supolicy

daemonsu

BIN folder has:

superumount

There's no sbin folder.

You mean I should delete ANYTHING that has the letters SU in those folders?

When the P8000 is flashed with the stock rom using the FlashTool, what does it do? Does it blat EVERYTHING on the phone or does it leave something somewhere to indicate it's been rooted before?

If it does wipe EVERYTHING and it sets the phone back to how it would be when it's shipped from Elephone, it does indicate that there is some sort of ROOT (files or whatever) to make some apps complain.

Surely there is SOMEONE here who can tell me whether their P8000 is FULLY UNROOTED or not (by trying to install the Pingit app).

I'm almost a fan of buying these generic, no brand China phones cos they're ridiculously cheap and fast but if they're pre-rooted (in some form), they're not much use since you can't run certain apps on them (especially if no-one knows how to UNROOT them). The Elephone Vowney looks so desirable!
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Go to system>xbin and see if su file is on your phone and try deleting just the file with the name su and no other files
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Nope, no file called SU in there.

So, my question now is:

Eragon ROM WAS put on this phone.

I've now flashed it with stock ROM.

Should it now be UN-rooted? Or at least, as much as it was when it leaves the factory? (obviously it's not EXACTLY the same because the Stock ROM I flashed is much newer).

OR, are Elephone ALWAYS rooted (either half or fully... enough to trip up certain apps)?

I know that if you get phones like OnePlus One, which had a 'custom' ROM (CM), it was still fully un-rooted (ie you can use banking apps on it).
[Elephone P8000] jtha:
try simply unroot app

It always works for me

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.pinpong.simplyunroot
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Hehe I'm interested to see what happens here.

Root Checker says it's unrooted (or it says it's not properly rooted - which isn't necessarily the same.. although that's what it says on my Flex 2 which is DEFINITELY not rooted).

Barclays bank app says it's rooted.

I need to root the device to use the Simply Unroot app.

What are the chances this is going to work..... I know it's only £0.68 but.....

I'll give it a go when I get home!

Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
Nope, Simply Unroot didn't work although I didn't have much hope.

What's the explanation for this kind of thing... where it's flashed with stock rom and apps can tell it's rooted (even Root Checker says it's unrooted).
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Try downloading titanium backup from play store and opening it
[Elephone P8000] MrBoingy:
By the way, the guy who sells Simply Unroot is VERY VERY VERY helpful.

Really nice guy.

He spent a lot of time trying to sort this out for me. In the end, we were unable to get Barclays app to run.

Root Checker and Simply Unroot both thought the phone was unrooted but Barclays apps thinks it is rooted.

Anyway, the point is, even after all his help, he gave me a refund.

5 stars for the developer for his support!
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Sounds like a problem with the Barclay's app

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophet42:
Glad others are getting it (well I'm not, coz obviously it's bad for everyone) and it's not just me!

Started getting it 3 days ago. I don't use Firefox, and don't have it installed. It's happening more frequently as time goes on. For me, it's mostly when I pick the device up and use the finger print scanner to unlock.

It vibrates as normal, but stays on a black screen, and then reboots itself.

The only time it's happened when the phone has been on, was went I went to my nova launcher desktop, clicked on a Chrome Browser bookmark, and the screen went dim (like when you pull down the notification bar), but the screen was totally unresponsive. I could push the back, menu and recent buttons at the bottom and it was registering the tap (visually and by vibrating), but it nothing happened.

I could also pull down the notification bar too, and it was fine. It was just like Chrome had crashed.

Then bam! It rebooted itself.

Again, I have not rooted, installed any apps without the playstore (except Amazon), and I'm on the latest Stock November 1st security updates.

My workmate sitting next to be with his Nexus 6P isn't having any issues at all. But then he barely makes calls or does anything with his phone, so not surprising.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
I am sorry to hear you are having issues with random reboots.

Have you attempted running android in safe mode and see if the problem will occur again? Maybe it's an app causing the issues. Someone mentioned that after factory reset the phone again rebooted itself while installing apps from the playstore.

Another thing I remembered from Nexus 6-if you have the Amazon app installed-uninstall it and see it the random reboot will occur. I have had a bunch of issues with it( I don't know why) on my nexus 6-it will make the phone turn off on it's own and reboot randomly.

If the phone reboots itself randomly when in safe mode it will be a sign that it's most likely a hardware defect.

To go into safe mode-hold the power button and when the power off option shows up on the screen-long press it for a few seconds-it will ask you to boot android in safe mode.

Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yangqi:
unlikely, more like app compatible issue with marshmallow, or bugs in M itself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
I've had a few instances of these random reboots. I noticed these after I got the phone because it would ask me for my password. It happened twice. Then i realized I was still on MDA89D and there were no OTAs available, so I sideloaded MDB08K and got the MDB08L update right away. After that, things seemed fine, but then I got a random reboot last night while starting up Waze.

I'm also fully stock, no root. I wouldn't be surprised if there are compatibility issues with apps. My ****ty Work Lotus Notes e-mail app crashes every time I open it.

I'm pretty sure the alarm will go off even if the phone is locked after a reboot
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
It’s ironic that literally this just happened to me this morning. Due to a random reboot my alarm clock didn’t go off. Due to the need for the pattern password to unlock my 6P it can not fully reboot. I was late 45 mins, but good thing traffic was lite this morning. I’m rooted and on Build number MDB08M. This is the only thing that’s bad about my 6P. The reboots seems to just happen at anytime my 6P would be just sitting at my desk and it would just reboot. Is there a way to get some kind of a log to see what may be causing these random reboots:mad:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:

When I was still on my original unit waiting for the replacement, I got a software update and it hasn't rebooted for a few days. May be the software update fixed it??

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
It looks like the reboots are caused by the GCM feature of the Xposed module. Greenify on its own won't cause them, so you can re-install Xposed and keep the Greenify module disabled.

While Facebook makes it freeze an reboot more often it is not the sole cause. I'm now around a week an a half in. 7 reboots.

Good news, haven't had any in two solid days. We shall see.

I'm not sure how a hardware malfunction could be causing it since its so sporadic. It happens under light load, or under heavy. Seems to happen with certain apps. And also since its so spaced apart. It seems to reason, a hardware issue, it would happen everyday numerous times.
