Great Instructions...Problem/Question re: SuperSU

I boot into TWRP (by choosing

Recovery

) and then follow your instructions to Backup (choosing my sdcard makes sense if I plan to use a different ROM).

I change storage if the su zip file is on my internal or sdcard, right? It won't erase my current sdcard files, will it?

SuperSU QUESTION: I clicked the url above and got the pictures below. The person who developed supersu changed the zip file (larger file, which I downloaded and can be "flashed"), and he added a license "SuperSU Pro" to purchase on Google Play if I want to use the entire program. Supersu-stable wasn't available.

It is stated that the SuperSU Free (via Google Play, or, I am guessing, the flashed SuperSU zip file) must be on the phone before the purchase of the license. I do have an older supersu (smaller file) from last year; however, Google Play may update it or it just may not work right.

What do I do?

Thank you.

Your Padawan
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Changing the storage will not erase your sdcard file. You can ignore purchasing SuperSU. It is a free program. You'll copy and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

If you flash an older one that is just fine. Update it in the play store but do not pay for it lol

Hi guys,

I've seen this question asked a few times, but no one ever answers it. I tried looking around on other sites, but can't seem to find an answer.

I just came over from a Galaxy S5, and I don't think we ever used those. Is there anybody who'd be willing to point me in the direction of knowing?

It holds proprietary binaries for the Nexus 5x, 6p and 9, from what I've read.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Hey OP, did you find out what a vendor.img is yet? Have also come to Nexus from Samsung. Flashing my first rom, and don't know what this vendor file is. Or if I even need it. Like you, have found threads where people ask, but no definitive answers...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiecognition:
I've been curious about this, too.

Also wondering how the Vendor partition differs from System. What do the data/functions in the Vendor partition do?

EFS partition seems to be specific to the individual device (unique IMEI). Is Vendor specific to each phone too, or do all Nexus 6Ps have the same thing in the Vendor partition (assuming they're on the same build of Android)?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
The vendor.img is important to this device if you upgrade your OS. You might have to flash it with every update too or your camera won´t work. This IMG is indeed strange if you´re used to older devices which are not as complicated.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
OK cool, so the vendor file is Nexus specific. And the OS won't operate properly without it? So I assume it's not possible to bake the vendor file straight into a custom rom? Just flashed pure nexus vendor.img along with the rom. Still not exactly sure what it does, but hey, if I need it, I'll flash it if I change roms.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Supplemental information about Vendor from a former member of the Android team
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Thanks for the link. So from my understanding, all the proprietary nexus files are stored on it's own 'vendor' partition, separate from the OS. And is updatable with it's own .img. Which is different to touchwiz (for eg.), which merges it's own files with android into the one partition.

Edit: FYI, just found this in PureNexus FAQ's:

Q: What is the vendor.img/vendor.zip? (5X and 6P only)

A: The vendor partition is new to Nexus phones with the 5X and 6P. Previous devices had the vendor files (proprietary binaries and drivers) within the system partition (/system/vendor); on these devices, they now have it in their own partition (/vendor). If this is not up to date, you will get an error message and need to flash the latest one so your phone continues to work properly. Beans has made this a TWRP flashable file available in the OP of the 5X and 6P threads (also linked below) so you do not have to fastboot it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Llaver:
I'm a bit late on this one, but does anyone know if updating OTA (stock android updater) updates the vendor partition as well or do you specifically have to flash it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaglok:
So, with this partition for drivers ROMs can keep the same camera quality as stock?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
No, the vendor.img does not need to be flashed independently of the OTA update.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameeldroid:
I have seen it in many phones other than mentioned in the thread, it is even in infinix phones. what i think is it contains apps from google like maps, drive, gmail, photos, and also some apps from the manufacturer of the phone. why i think this is the case? here is the my guess.

yesterday when i tried to remove google bloatware and manufacturer bloatware with root permissions etc. it didn't work.

i have magisk root, i had set selinux permissive as someone told me it would help BUT i was still unable to remove bloatware. they were removed for now but whenever i rebooted my phone, they were reinstalled and i think this vendor file does that.

as per google's android documents here is the difinitoin.

vendor: The vendor partition contains any binary that is not distributable to the Android open source project.

means, google apps are never distributed with AOSP but manufacturers does that via vendor.img to make it non-removable? i guess.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlrus:
????? This is a nexus, it contains no bloat because its a google device, its not a Motorola , lg, samjunk etc. Those devices contain "bloat" there are zero applications installed from the mfg, its stock android.

Not sure why you can't remove system apps, sounds like user error. I have never had an issue removing something with root and titanium backup.

The vendor contains what it says it does the binarys, blobs and other interworking's of the device that are needed for it to operate.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAMA XATA:
Hello. I'm a new to Android world. I have a Moto G4 (XT1622) and I install AOSiP-8.1-Derp-athene-20180501/Android Open Source Illusion Project ROM (arm64).

I see 'your vendor image does not match the system' message on every boot with a prompt to flash npjs25.93-14-13.

I download latest Nougat ROMs (arm32) (both adb and twrp flashable). Try both methods of flashing with success.

Then I install custom ROM again (with TWRP, clean) and see the same message again.

I search regarding this problem and everything ends with flashing Stock ROM and perform installing custom one again, what I done and mention of vendor.img file.

I try to find such file but no luck, my device has only vendor folder.

So my question is: how to remove this message in the custom ROM?

I post it here because ROM's thread is closed

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a LG Optimus G E975 with a wrong firmware installed (E970).

Now my LG says it's a E970. Right now I have cyanogenmod for E970 installed but I would like to flash back to E975. How to do it? I have the correct .kdz but I can't flash my phone. LGMobile Support Tool and LG Flash Tool 2014 can't find my phone eventho it's connected. Please help me...

Best regards,

Can your phone connected to PC when it boot , if it can , Then try to flash the kdz , the phone will get into download mold .

I flash kdz like this way , maybe this will work for U too .
[LG Optimus G (International)] Reeznov:
What do you mean? I can connect my phone with my pc. How do you flash your phone?
[LG Optimus G (International)] einhuman197:
You have to go in download mode and then you s day can flash your kdz!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Reeznov:
no my pc can't detect my phone in the download mode
[LG Optimus G (International)] paul_zm:
Your PC can't detect your phone in download mode , but it can detect it when your phone boot into current system , isn't it .

Then you don't need get into download mode , you can flash kdz when the phone connect to your PC successfully (the phone is running current system ) , of course you should install all of the drivers before you do this .

can you get you phone into download mode like this: press volume minus , then connect you phone to PC , if it can , I think it can install the driver successfully.

I've tried Nova, Google Now and the Touchwiz launcher, but on any homescreen, I get a weird white glow at the top and bottom of the screen. This doesn't show anywhere except on the home screens. The black wallpaper I use, is completely black when I open it in the gallery. I've checked all home screen settings, and cant find anything that could cause this.

Does anyone know what it is?

It's sort of hard to see on my LCD monitor, but it's pretty annoying on my S6 Edge's AMOLED screen.

Automatic sync gets locked up and never finishes. The sync status icon remains. What I find works, is if only one sync process is going at a time. If more than one, then sync hangs. I tried removing a google account and re-adding it, to no avail. I tried deleting the caches and files for the different apps also. However, based on the discovery that any individual syncs work, as long as they are not concurrent, I think it is not an app or cache or file issue.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilger_18:
Good day. I just recently bought the original SONY style cover for my Z5P. Now my question is how can I set it to immediately lock my phone once I close the cover ? Will my phone just based on the the screen timeout ( I set it into 15 seconds) I set into to automatically lock after sleep? I cant seem to find a solution to this problem. I dont really care that it remains locke if I open the style cover cause I dont want people to be able to unlock it just by opening the cover but my only concern is to ensure it locks once I close the cover. Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minakami:
Turn on nfc and tap your phone on the cover (there's an nfc tag right below the front window, you'll need to take your phone out of the case first) and download the sony smart cover theme. After you enable it every time you close the cover it will automatically lock your phone.

Or you can download the app from this link.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Do you know how to get it to work with RomAur? At first it did nothing, then I managed to install the coverapp and cover widget, but it doesnt lock my screen, in fact it stays as if i never closed it. it do light up when i open the cover. It does not resize the screen to fit the window either. Its like it doesnt notice the cover being closed, it only reacts when i open it, but thats all.

Before installing the cover apps my phone didnt even know what to do with the nfc tag on the cover.

The cover works fine, tested on another z5p, and previously worked great on this phone aswell, untill I flashed RomAur.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minakami:
Hmm sorry, it might be an issue with the rom then, I'm only on stock rom so I can't really offer much help...
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Ok, no problem! I am considering flashing stock again, I was a bit disappointed to se so few custom roms for the z5p. Or is it just a bit early still?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minakami:
I think the biggest issue is that root hasn't been discovered without unlocking the bootloader, so not as many roms have been released until that happens. Just a guess though :p
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
You are probably right :)

Do you by any chanse know if its possible to flash stock rom via twrp recovery, without using a pc? I assume it would be if I had the .zip file of the stock rom. Is it possible, and does anyone know where I can find a download for it that does not need to be flashed via flashtool?

I realize this is the wrong place to ask probably, but you seemed nice :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minakami:
Sorry, I wish I could help you with that, but I looked around and only see tft files of the stock rom and no zip to use for flashing in recovery. I'm not really an expert with flashing roms either so I don't want to give you wrong info and have you end up bricking your phone :(.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Ok, no problem at all, thanks for helping! Thats the only files I could find aswell.

I am no expert either, but on a plus side I work in the same building as sonys workshop in my country, so if it got bricked I think I know someone who would help me even with unlocked bootloader and void warranty. I probably gave the repair man I know, about 8+ working xperia Z1/2/3 phones for free, that they can use for spare parts or whatever :)

Could ask him tomorrow if they can just restore it 100% back to original state.

I'll let you know what he says.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilger_18:
Hey thanks. Im already familiar with what you said. Tagged my cover via NFC and already downloaded the app. Now what happens is that closing the cover doesnt lock the phone but instead just turns off the screen. If I open the cover once again, it turns on the screen and still ramains unlocked. Though closing the cover for too long will lock the phone but not because of the style cover itself but because I set it to automatically lock at a given period of time (15 seconds). What I want is that it will lock the phone in an instant once I close the cover. Doesnt seem to have that settings though.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minakami:
Ah sorry I misunderstood what you meant originally. I see what you mean now as I just tried it on my phone and it doesn't lock if I close the screen and open it back up again. Unfortunately I don't see an option from the smart cover app or inside the settings either... only way to make it lock right away is to hit the power button.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilger_18:
No worries.Thanks. I believe this defeats the purpose of style cover that you want to lock your phone simply by closing the cover and minimize the use of hardware button. I know its not that tasking or difficult to just simply press the power button but I think its easier to just flip the cover if I wanted it to be locked which I believe should be the one main purpose of the a specialized NFC style cover. The lack of such option sucks.

Use WinRAR to open the .exe file, extract to somewhere "C:\O2_ROM". Copy the files from O2_ROM to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP and try again. Bear in mind, boot to bootloader mode without SD card & SIM while connecting with USB cable. ** Push Reset with Camera when connects to Active Sync....hohoho....If the problem still exists......probably....your boot loader had been updated to a other version...such as O2 ATOM EXEC....have you ever try to update your O2 with O2 EXEC?
