[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
When you do a factory reset, what you're basically doing is just wiping the partition that contains data that is modifiable by the user. All that's left are the apps that are on the /system partition, which by default is not modifiable by the user. However, when you used kingroot and later supersu, both of these apps attempt to place themselves into /system so that they can control root access. It sounds like Kingroot was successful. A factory reset does nothing to /system since Motorola assumes that /system cannot be modified.

If you really want to start fresh and undo whatever damage you might have done with your previous root attempts, do the following:

1. Download the official Verizon SU4TL-44 image here: http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/getdown...o/Firmware/VRZ_XT1254_SU4TL-44_44_CFC.xml.zip

2. Unzip the archive and copy all of the system image sparsechunks somewhere convenient on your computer.

3. Boot into bootloader mode and flash the first sparsechunk using the following command: fastboot flash system <name of first sparsechunk file>

4. Repeat step 3 with the other sparsechunk files until all sparsechunks have been flashed in numerical order

5. Wipe cache and userdata using fastboot as you did before.

6. Boot the phone normally.

7. Boot TWRP and flash supersu.

A forum post.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
Thanks! I'm wanting as clean a system as possible, and this definitely helps!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SpyderPride:
Is this necessary if one plans on flashing a modified stock rom (CF) right away? I was assuming that wiping system in twrp would be sufficient. Thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I suppose so but kingroot has always been a sketchy program to me either way regardless of who vouches for it. Fortunately I only used it for what I needed it for and moved on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
It is not necessary. Wiping system is sufficient.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rkoonts4:
Would using the commands above remove encryption?

I've got a case here where I started with an encrypted device (fully intended to decrypt but I got ahead of myself in the excitement of having root on my phone again). Initially, when I flashed twrp, I would be prompted for a password for twrp to boot. I could use my encryption password and get twrp to boot successfully. After doing a factory reset within twrp, entering my password will no longer unlock twrp (error message is that it cannot decrypt the partition). Only way I can move forward is to sideload my images in adb.

Thanks for your thoughts.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Did reflashing twrp via fastboot or flashify not work?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rkoonts4:
No, not from a fastboot flash. Haven't tried flashify.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Odd.... I would have thought that would have reset everything
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rkoonts4:
Just tried with flashify & same results. Again, not a major issue as phone is running CM12 just fine. Just a pain to have to sideload everything
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
If I'm not mistaken, TWRP's version of a "factory reset" leaves some parts of the data partition intact in order to preserve user data. That's probably not a good thing when you're trying to get rid of encryption. Try booting your phone into fastboot mode and typing those commands. This will properly wipe the data partition, and hopefully most of the encrypted stuff with it. If that doesn't work, reflash TWRP using fastboot. If that doesn't work, go nuclear and flash every image in the official SU4TL-44 firmware, then flash TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mydroidturbo:
Ok so I have root my bootloader is unlocked supersu installed. But when I uninstall king root I lose root. Why am I reading you have to delete it. I don't have root if I do. Can someone let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
If you are happy with kingroot there is no reason to uninstall it. Most users would prefer supersu.

The "typical" way would be to flash twrp then reboot uninstall kingroot then flash supersu. But it is really whatever makes you happy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Kingroot is meant to be a temporary solution to get you to unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (TWRP) and real root SuperSu.

You need to uninstall it before installing SuperSu because of conflicts.

If you don't have root with SuperSu, you've done something wrong. Reflash it in recovery.

Think of it like the little donut car spare tire vs a full size car tire when you get a flat.

Why would I remove my donut tire? Because you are going to get something much better!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Thành67890:
Unable to unlock the original bootloader? I do not have a visa. $ 25 is a huge amount to me
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Sorry, blame Verizon.

Motorola unlocks other Quarks for free (XT1250, XT1225). You just have to ask.

But Verizon makes Motorola keep bootloader locked down on this Quark (XT1254), which forces hackers to find exploits that bypass the restriction.

They had to buy lots of phones to test, a large monetary investment -- plus lots if time. This phone came out a year ago! The paid unlock solution works and gives them their money back.

But if you bought this Verizon phone, then you weren't really wanting unlocked bootloader with full root in the first place, right? ;) Well known it was locked down. The solution is still just two weeks old.

But again, blame Verizon. For people not on Verizon there's other Quarks with free bootloader unlocking.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
You dang near took the words out of my mouth. Just this last week I upgraded both my phone and the wife's to a Turbo specifically because I knew that there was a solution for root and unlocking. Since we have unlimited data, if I consider the value I get out of being able to use tethering without shelling out $30/month to vzw ($60 if we did it on both phones), it was well worth the $50 I paid to unlock both phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
For some reason I had issues when I flashed SuperSU through TWRP. I would not be able to update the binaries through the GUI. I don't know if this is an issue with others, but it was for me. The solution I found was to unroot through the SuperSU app, uninstall the SuperSU app, uninstall Kingroot, and then boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP, when you go to reboot, it will warn you that root is not installed. Make sure you install root. Once you boot into the phone, you will get a notification in the task bar to install the GUI. Select the option to do so through Play. Once the Play Store opens up, click on Update. Then open the GUI, update the binaries using the Normal option, and you'll be set.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jefff0101:
I have installed and used kingroot to get root. What is the next step in getting "full" root? Is there a way without having to pay?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Not currently no.

You have to disable write protection and right now the only way to do that is to use sunshine to unlock the bootloader first.

To make matters worse, you cannot properly uninstall kingroot now either without sunshine (at least I couldn't)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] realbbb:
The root ninja official download now contains turbo unlock and it's own temp root. No need to install kingroot.

Rsdlite image should remove all traces of kingroot.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Strife89:
Sorry for the off-topic post, but this bit bothers me. I picked a Verizon phone because the other major carriers (and their MVNOs) don't provide a serviceable signal where I live, and I wanted to stick with a family plan that one of my relatives controls (so I'm more-or-less better off than if I went with a Verizon MVNO, and AFAIK the MVNOs around here don't carry Quarks or their equivalents anyway).

Probably also worth mentioning: several phones were "on sale" while I was in the market, and aligning with it, my preferences boiled down to a Turbo 1 or Turbo 2. I picked the Turbo 1 because I figured it was closer to getting a bootloader unlock (and I gladly plunked down the $25 when I learned it was ready).

Point being: I'd say there are plenty of us who must choose to compromise, and hope that we can work around it later on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rlmesq:
Meh. Don't let it bother you.

Somebody always has to add some sort of snotty remark. If you want Verizon service AND updated hardware, you know you're going to wind up waiting for root. Bootloader unlock is the holy grail and makes me less likely to fall back into the obsessive upgrade cycle.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkwun:
Have any other Z5 premium users noticed that sometimes when you wake up the screen it looks super washed out almost LG G3 esque for a second or 2 then it goes back to looking normal?

Just wondering if there's an explanation, it's a common thing or i have a faulty handset.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fancymans:
Don't think it's faulty. Very noticable to me on very dark screens. If you turn off Adaptive Brightness in settings this doesn't happen. It's just trying to adjust the screen to a proper brightness.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingg3000:
I have had the same issue.

Normally if I wake the phone up directly into an app that had a dark background i can easily see this. I find that pressing the recent apps key, selecting another app and then going back into the washed out app helps to remedy the problem if it does not sort itself out.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpp6174:
This happens for me as well. Note this also happened on my z3. Im not all that worried about it. The washed out display is usually sorted within a few seconds. If it bothers you that much, turning off adaptive brightness get rid of the issue as mentioned earlier.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
I've taken to using Lux Auto, it resolved the issue.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corallus:
They talked about it on the Sony forums, there's a bug in the adaptive brightness and Sony said that they are fixing it for the 6.0 update
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LadFromWales85:
Always notice it when I leave my keyboard open and lock screen. When I unlock it later the keyboard looks all washed out then fades back to normal. Never bothered me though on this or previous Sony phones
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkwun:
Cheers for the answers guess i'll wait for this 6.0 update to drop to see if it fixes it

Good Luck

We're on 7.0 and it is still not working. My screen becomes the dimmest in sunlight or bright days, that's exactly when I need it the brightest and it becomes dim - Sonny ? or Funny !

I am tired of this phone.

May 5th.

So when I am tired I am trying the most crazy things....

Installed LUX Auto Brightness - 48 hours and not a single problem.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux

I organized the application a bit, Min brightness 40% , Max - 100% , link your 0 lux ambient to 60% brightness and use other good stuff.

This application controls the Z5 Brightness so that it gives me what need.

Of course my Z5 adaptive brightness is OFF.

I can not explain how this does it, even me being an EE, but still Job is done.

This was very frustrating so you can understand my excitement.

[General Questions and Answers] Axelfoley290:
Hi,

I am trying to decide between the two phones below and could use some help. I know that the doogee has a better processor, GPU and more ram but the vk700 pro makes up for it in other areas.

So my question is how much of a performance difference between the two would there really be?

Doogee X6 Pro

CPU: MTK6735 64bit

Cores: Quad Core, 1GHz

GPU: Mali-T720

RAM: 2GB RAM

VK700 Pro

CPU: MTK6582

Cores: 1.3GHz, Quad Core

GPU: Mali-400 MP

RAM: 1GB RAM

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] rgnr:
Currently I possess two doogee models - DG700 (6582) and Y100 Pro (6735). To my regret, I haven't seen any performance boost at all. More than that, I found 6735 (1ghz) is vastly outperformed by 6582 in terms of 2D graphics! Tested with Kung Fury, Shadow Fight 2, Vector. At least that was my experience with these 2 SoCs. It loads apps a bit faster and can keep more apps in memory due to 2GB, but that's it. IMO 6735 is a fail. At least 1Ghz.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexHAX:
Hello,

I used for a while stock Google play edition rom and then bought a new charger thats really capable of charging 2A (even measured with ampere app). Then I wanted to use cyanogenmod (12.1) and after installation I found out that I can't charge it with the same speed but 700-800mA thats. So I was wondering if it is a system or kernel limitation? Is there anyway to get it to work properly? Researched about custom kernels that force fast charging but then I'm unable to transfer data.

Same issue with Cm12.1, was good with ARHD and Insertcoin. Did you try enable fast charging ?

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S3 S968C on Straight Talk. I successfully managed to root it by flashing the newest version of TWRP and installing Superuser and so far I have not run into any problems.

But, because Straight Talk does not provide android updates (I'm still on 4.1.2), I'm really hoping to get CyanogenMod working. I've heard that there are some problems with getting the d2vzw version working on the Straight Talk phone, but I've also heard that people are using CM on this phone.

Could anyone who has experience with this phone please give me more details on what problems exist and if there are any solutions??

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Old-Guy:
I was in the same boot as you until yesterday. I managed to install the latest nightly build of CM 12.1 for d2vzw (cm-12.1-20151204-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip) okay.

If you want the radio to work, you need a SIM card inserted. If you want mms to work, you need a used de-activated Verizon 4G SIM and you need to edit an existing APN. (A new SIM card will continually dial out trying to activate , so you need a used one)

There's some more about that topic here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516498&page=57

I haven't activated the phone, so I don't know if mms is working for me. But I did try starting that activation process and that proved that the cell radio was working. (use *288 for activation, that's Verizon rather than StraightTalk's *22890)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arnoue:
Thanks for the info, this confirms what I have seen in other places too.

Other than this does everything else seem to work well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Old-Guy:
I haven't played with it too much, but so far, so good. WiFi, Camera, GPS all working okay. Just make a backup of what you have now before flashing CM. That way you really have nothing to lose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arnoue:

There is Marshmallow CM13 now for d2tfnvzw. Its still a tad buggy but [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] is getting the builds more and more stable. 6.0 OctOS will be coming very soon as well. There is still good stuff for the future for the S3, enjoy it when you get a chance to try it at its most stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PELEKYS77:
To all who are curious...im curently running the latest feb nightly marshmallow build on the s968c..after rooting the phone and getting a custom recovery the first thig you wanna do is make a nandroid backup...this have really saved me from bootloops and bad rom images...then if you wanna try the lollipop or marshmallow cm builds you have to have a sim card..im actually using an old att sim card. The oy thing that i dont have working is mms send and recieve. I just havent set the APN's yet.

The workaround for me has jus been to send and recive pic messages on my email acct..and since its the straight talk s3 i get 3G data...when you first boot into the rom or after a reboot go ahead and toggle the airplane mode toggle and let jt sit for lime 2 mins and then toggle it off and it will get the 3g data going. If you dont it will randomly cycle thru roaming/no sim/and 1x data. And i dowloaded google camera from the play store because the front camera stopped taking pics though you could see the picture..this was working but after a nightly update it stopped...like i say google camera works 100%...

Absolutely everything else has been workig and i have found it to be exceptionaly stable..Matter of fact daily driver for me.I have been using the official cm D2VZW nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arnoue:
Thanks for the information!

Just curious, have you noticed any significant changes in battery life compared to.CM12 or even the original 4.1.2?

I have..with 6.0.1 I'm noticing significantly better battery life..its better than stock 4.1.2 and better than cm 12..they have also reinstated the battery setting tile to allow you to select power save/balanced/performance.

Hi, when u guys said that you have to have a sim card inserted in order to get the radios working(which I'm assuming covers calling, texting, sending mms/pic messages, data, (You get the point) ), are you guys talking about a straight talk byop sim card or a Verizon (3g/4g(I don't know what they use)) sim card?

Thanks

Also, can you use any custom recovery and any custom rom that can be used on the Verizon gs3 version work on this ST gs3 version as well?

Again thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arnoue:
I recently tried CM on my phone and I used a sim card from Straight Talk. SMS and calling worked fine, but I couldn't get any data.

I didn't have much time to fiddle with APN settings, so I reverted back to stock. If anyone has more info on getting data to work, I'd like to know.

As for other ROMs and recoveries, I really don't know, I'd assume that some work, but TWRP and CM are the only ones that I've tried.

You ROM must be deodex!!!

If you dont have your ROM deodex use this utility: http://www.xda-developers.com/deodex-your-xperia-with-a-simply-windows-utility/

Flashing this deodex zip might reset your device

There are other ways of deodexing your roms on xda

Also make a nadroid backup before flashing any of the zips above.

I take no responsibility of any damage done to your device. Do this at your own risk.
