[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjhaohao:
Hi!

I want to start modifying the modem of the LG G4 (h815 SEA) with QPST and i want to make a full emmc backup before doing that.

Can i use the same command used for backup system and create a system.img, used in the rooting method? ( dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img ) .

Why in this command is a "skip" option set for the first 55269 blocks? For full backup i should not use the skip option? This backups the EFS/imei/bootloader of the phone too?

if i dont use the skip option, i will be able to recover that full backup after an error even with that blocks backupped?

Thanks and happy new year for everyone :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjhaohao:

At least someone tell my why are backups skipping those blocks! haha

I added a new zip that uses an options.prop that is located in the zip. You can extract this and use notepad++ to edit it to add the features you want then copy the options.prop to the root of your sdcard or internal storage

You have the option for odexed or deodexed rom

You can choose to debloat

You can choose to add the features listed below or you can keep totaly stock

This flashes an untouched system.img so this can also be used to get back hd calling if you lost it on a rom flash

Here is an example of how to use options.prop You simply change the values in red

###Deodex Rom###
# Yes=1 Deodex Rom #
# No=0 Leave Rom Stock #
deodexed.rom=[COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR]

So if my goal is simply to access safestrap, I run the Safestrap Recovery, it reboots, I do what I need (such as make a nandroid), then flash the Safestrap safe kernel, reboot and everything remains fine?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
In my rom its called Lollipop Safestrap just click on it and hit Recovery Reboot it will take you right to Safestrap. Then like you said, do whatever then flash the safestrap flashable kernel that matches your rom and it will reboot back to rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
Thank you.

One last question (hopefully). I am running ARMv7. What version of Xposed should we be running? According to this: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118 Arter97's sdk21 version. Is that accurate? Basically this? http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463

When upgrading your roms, is a cache / dalvik cache wipe all that is needed? When I went from BA08 to BOG5 I went ahead and wiped data, system, and the caches.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] You are a damn beast with these ROM's Thanks so much for everything you do here with the community. Are you planning on doing a "dark it up" theme for this? I was really hoping for an all black and white theme. Black settings / white text type of thing. Also, how hard would it be to get a nexus system UI running on this ROM that can use layers? Kind of like the Freedom ROM?

After you Odin bok3 and get HD calling working. Then start over are you restoring anything and what are you using to flash rom safestrap or FF

I wasn't restoring anything. I was starting absolutely fresh. I finally got it. here's what I did I pulled my sim while I was powering on and then pulled the battery again. then restarted and it finally worked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Im glad it works. The hd calling is a pain some people have a hard time getting it to work. I personally have never had an issue with my phone but I have had problems getting it to work on another persons phone so I can relate to the problem.

So, somehow I got Marshmallow booting on my a5.

Right now enough works for me to attempt to daily-driver with it!

I'll share the alpha since I have some sort of network connectivity going.

I keep most of my stuff on public github anyway. use the cm-13.0 branch. not everything needed is up there but the basic device folder and vendor folders are. android_device_htc_a5 and android_vendor_htc. Anything done outside those folders in CM is just dodging build errors as they pop up.

It's still fun to see any Android 6.0 on this before the official HTC release.

I'm putting this in general so feel free to share opinions etc.

Bear in mind this development happens in my free time so progress may be sporadic.

[Desire 816 General] bigsupersquid:
At this very moment a usable build is uploading to my androidfilehost a5 rom folder.

Usable, at least, for the Virgin Mobile chl model.

Working LTE, MMS, SMS, call in and call out.

I think the location is working too but not completely sure.

I'll put up a proper ROM thread in the morning since it'll take a while to upload and the rules say I can't post it until it's actually available for download.

Regardless you can grab the first alpha release as soon as it gets up there.

Happy flashing.

Standard rules apply, clean flash strongly recommended, wipe system too or you may have gapps issues should you be using them.

Of course if it somehow fries your phone I'm not responsible.

Enjoy the first taste of Marshmallow on the a5 courtesy of all the hard work upstream at CM, and what patchwork I've hacked together for the latest greatest.

'Ware, WiFi won't turn on so skip it during setup, and messing with Bluetooth causes reboots.

And it's an alpha so it may scare your nice old granny.

[Desire 816 General] reSpock:
Thx for this! Its nice to have a peek at CM13 this

early.

Mostly feels like Cm12.2 now which isn't bad.

But for old app compatibility needs I need to stick

with Cm 12.1 for awhile longer which is why I was excited

to see your Cm 12.1 Dec 15 & Dec 25 builds with the

Dec 1 Cyanogen Security patches.

Unfortunately *both* of your builds have issues

with touch screen *stickiness* which makes them

too annoying to use longterm.

Do you have any later Cm12.1 builds which fix this

or is it just my device? Or perhaps do you

know of a method to fix this problem manually?

I'd love to be able to make my own CM builds but

don't have the time or the bandwidth.
[Desire 816 General] bigsupersquid:
Another user mentioned a similar touchscreen issue early on and resolved it by updating firmware to lollipop (phone came with kitkat and wasn't upgraded before trying cm12.)

I call that out in the OP for cm12, specifically mentioning touchscreen.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
there must be some changes on your side. take a full nandroid backup in your custom recovery, then, wipe data as well, and do a clean flash and check if it's working there, maybe you did a dirty flash that causing issues. or just flash the same custom rom once again without wiping anything if you have deleted something from the system app that was needed for the notifications to work.

Recently I've acquired a Galaxy S6 (Not the Edge), and pretty much is "Out of The Box" New. I would like to root it, but after looking around the forms, internet, YouTube, etc. I've noticed that there really is no easy way of rooting this marvelous phone. I would prefer not to trip KNOX, but as far as I know, KNOX will pretty much be tripped.

Here's some info about my device:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Trip knox and don't look back. The Sickness is the best rom i have used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Download Odin. Download the S6 unikernel. Download TWRP recovery.

Open Odin on your computer. Boot your phone into download mode by holding power and Vol down buttons then press Vol up to enter download mode.

Plug usb end of cord into computer then plug phone in. Odin should recognize device. Flash the S6 unikernel first using the AP button in Odin (hopefully it rwads PASS). Let the device reboot.

Power off then boot into download mode again and do the same thing but flash the TWRP file this time (hopefully it reads PASS). Let device reboot.

You should now have both root access and custom recovery. From here you can download custom roms and flash their zip file through recovery mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] maddog808:
I'm in a similar situation as the OP, only I haven't tried anything yet. The instructions posted by cwhiatt seem simple and I've rooted other Galaxy phones in the past. I usually don't mind tripping Knox, but in this case the phone is leased with insurance. I just want to be sure I will be able to revert back to full stock with Knox showing untouched. Is this possible?

I found this easy to follow guide using Google, but wanted to check here to make sure it will work:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
As I mentioned previously (either here or on another thread), I wasn't concerned with tripping knox so I did not attempt those root options.

I recently returned an S6 with a bum battery calibration through Tmo/Samsung Warranty exchange. The phone did have knox tripped. I simply removed the custom rom and restored it to out of box state and they accepted it no problem and replaced the device.
