I also wanted to know if this would possibly work if I was to unpack the recovery.img from a custom recovery then repack and sign using the releasekey.x509.pem contained in /etc/security/otacerts.zip? Would it show up as authorized then perhaps? From download mode currently my readout is current binary: custom

current status: custom

Reacvtivation lock: OFF

Qualcomm secureboot: Enable (CSB)

Secure Download : Enabled

so i guess the apk is not working afterall, but maybe someone can decompile it like im about to do just to see if their is another method hidden within.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] smmi:
YES - now THAT is handy... THANK YOU... best bit of "fool the machine" that I've come across... very helpful - not sure how you stumbled upon it but great find... thanks again...
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
Stumbled I did indeed lmao dumb luck really. I do however see this as a potential security hole which should be explored by someone more knowledgeable than myself.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] smmi:
that's funny, however->> potential security hole = potential exploit...

I'll take it if it's a "get in anyway I can" - could prove very useful... dummy up about it, as you have to be physically local to run it (if it is) an exploit - not something that can be implemented remotely, as far as I can tell...

why do you the think they call it ROOT - ing... savvy?...

this is a good thing for us on this side of the phone...
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
Ya you can also just pull battery. Plug in charger wait for charging graphics then turn on I think as well....also another tidbit I zeroed my sec partition and it did not brick...all is well I did this to see what happened when entering download more but nothing was different I had viewed it in a hex editor and it had in plain text stuff about download mode and security checks I thought it may be the download mode partition however it is not I'm not sure what purpose it served if nothing else you can gain a small bit of space by doing so.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
I'm trying to get all apks from variants that allowed oem unlock from settings/developer settings I think of we can trash our settings and replace with those we may be in business without having to hex edit the aboot and/or boot. I was lookin through some database files as well and I think something I read may be telling the byte that controls security checks not completely sure just yet but it sure seems that way...also I think if we could change the csc app to a diferent variants it could be needed. Not sure but just a few ideas.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] leesumm:
I too have the SM-530A with 5.1.1 and have been looking for about a month now for ways to unlock the bootloader and root. I am far from a developer and know some about rooting as I have done several HTC phones , which are considerably easier than Samsung. I found a forum called GSM, there I found some links to the stock firmware , stock kernel and other firmwares. They are also available for a cost at another site but can't remember. I do have them on file on my computer .There is another system that is supposed to root and unlock the bootloader called , Samsung Octoplus which is a small box connected to the PC and software used. Possibly there is someone on this forum that knows of that system and might have it . I have semi rooted with KingRoot .apk and flashed the stock kernel with flashify following some instructions from a contributor at the GSM forum, but failed to get a custom recovery on. I still get the same thing in download mode or odin mode of the fastboot stops working there and get "waiting on any devices".

Now can any one here add to this? Seems most any of the variants of the SM-530 can be unlocked and rooted except this one .
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
Well I do have full root on mine but bootloader is locked up the octoplus is for numerous uses for multiple devices it can revive bricked devices and unlock some etc. Not sure about its use for unlocking the bootloader though.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
I guess though if you brick it in process of trying to unlock then at least you can recover it
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] leesumm:
toxinburn, would you please explain the process for the custom recovery and what did you use? I tried all of the TWRP's and CWM's that I could find none would flash, and too the process for superSU , that I could not get my phone would not allow any of the above and give all kinds of errors but would never lock up.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
I just followed the root guide in forums but as far as a custom recovery we can't use until we get the bootloader unlocked
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] toxinburn:
I may end up getting a octoplus box just so I can safely experiment more because it looks like we will require a dirty method of unlocking which requires hex editing the factory images like aboot and boot.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Autolounge:
Any updates or progress?
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Thadopest559:
Okay so how are you supposed to make this work just download the APK open it press ok and then go straight to download mode I'm not sure exactly what you're supposed to do after opening the APK you provided explain

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] garyg199:
Hi there

I have just flashed the most up to date Skydragon version for my sprint HTC One m8. Everything seems to be fine, except for the SDHub. I am trying to look around in the app, but as soon as I click on anything, it crashes and force closes. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Or is it just buggy and unstable for my version, and I should try the MM version?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] surrept:
Ok I have a 8525 with the schaps 3.60a rom. I don't think the rom really matters as this problem has been going on since day 1 and i've been through 2 stock at&t roms and 2 3.60a cooked roms all with the same issue. I have the gmails pop settings enabled and I have no issues at all receiving email from gmail on my device.

The problem is that they don't stay in the inbox for more than a day. It seemed they stay in there for awhile when the email is initially setup but after a few days it goes back to clearing the inbox on its own. Gmail settings are set to receive all mail starting on 8/2/07. I innitially thought I might be causing a conflict with having the same email account setup in outlook07. So i've created another email account and I have that account setup in outlook and in the gmail settings I have it set to forward my main gmail account to that one. This way when I receive email on my home pc it doesnt use the same pop account as my 8525. This doesnt solve the problem though.

Anyone know of a solution or has encounted this problem? It seems others should be having this problem as I don't believe it is specific to my device and gmail being a pretty popular email service would lead me to believe I'm not the only one. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: NM I found the solution.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Methadras:
what's the solution...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] surrept:
if you do a search for gmail on the main hermes forum. There is a thread called "missing gmail emails" or somethin. Basically when you set the username on the hermes for gmail you need to add "recent:" without the quotes to the beginning of your username. this is automatically added when you detect gmail settings and I changed it to my normal username as I didn't think it would work with "recent:gmailname@gmail.com". But I was wrong apparently you need to leave the setting alone and this resolves the sync issues with gmail and hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hfam95:
does this apply to all pop mail or just gmail?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speaker1264:
Hey guys, after successfully changing my OS to cyanogenmod I wanted to do the same on a second amazon fire 5th gen I had laying around. So I rooted it, installed the google apps, downloaded Flashfire from the google play store, but when I used flashfire to flash the most recent CM12.1 from the XDA thread it kept saying that the data was incompatible or something. So I tried doing a factory reset and tried again, but the same thing kept occurring. After that I thought I would try installing the SlimLP mod instead, and it worked. Once I got SlimLP up and running I downloaded Flashfire again, and went to go install CM12.1 once again, but this time it got stuck at the very beginning. It didn't even look like it was writing any data or anything. The whole process only took about a minute on my other amazon fire, so I knew something was wrong. I waited 15-30 mins and no change. Eventually I turned it off, and rebooted, hoping for the best. Unfortunately, it loads the CM boot logo, and just gets stuck their permanently. I tried going into boot recovery by holding down volume down, and the power button, but when I do that it gets stuck at the amazon boot logo. I can still get it to boot into fastboot by holding down the volume up and power button, but when I try to flash a recovery image using fastboot it says that Flashing images is locked, or something.

Can someone tell me if there is still anyway to save it?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakinul:
This will work

Hi :)

So i have the same tablet as you do and i faced the same problem as well and i found a way to fix it and this is what i did-

1) I went to recovery mode ( Power button and volume up button at same time) and factory reset and cleared data.

2) Wipe cache patition

3) Then I used this tutorial so i can go back to original state

4) Once there, I rooted my tablet again and download google play store and blahh balhh:cool::cool::cool:

5) Then I downloaded flashfire apk

6) This time i didn't download latest CM 12.1 for the tablet but this one ( cm-12.1-20151230-R01-UNOFFICIAL-ford.zip )

7) And gapps

8) I flashed and it worked beautifully.

9) Once done then I flashed the latest version CM 12.1 for the tablet and it worked amazingly . Sorry for not providing the links because i am new and i still have to wait a bit longer Thanks for reading this and i can guarantee 99.9% this work. Don't forget to tell me what happened. :D:D:D:D
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speaker1264:
Yeah, but like I said, the device freezes before it can get into recovery mode. I can only get into fastboot, but I don't think there is anything I can do with that.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromeof:
Return it to Amazon. I rang them and basically claimed ignorance that the device had stopped working, they sent me another one (and I returned the 'bricked' one). Luckily the replacement one came with 5.0.1 so I carefully made sure I did not upgrade before replacing the ROM instance with CM12.1.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwalb89:
exactly the same thing happened to me as in the op. there is absolutely no way to fix it with the bootloader being locked down. i filed a replacement, telling them that after i installed a program it no longer goes past the boot screen. (i call that a grey area as far as lies go). go through their little trouble shooting performance where they ask if the device is charged.... then they will replace the device as long as it is in the warranty period. drop the old one off at ups, and 2 days later you will get the new one in the mail.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenbristle:
Hello

Is it possible on the Nexus 6p to use the finger print scanner to unlock apps with the finger print scanner on the phone without using it to lock the phone and having to setup the PIN lock?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbl1976:
If you mean that you'd like to have an app that locks certain apps and unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, you should try FingerSecurity. You can set which apps are locked by the app and you can then use the fingerprint scanner to unlock them.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity&hl=en

You can join the Beta to get Nexus 6P support. Works great.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domuzy:
and without any app?

just using the F.P to wake the screen up or lock it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihovil13:
I don't understand what are you saying.

With Nexus 6P you just have to touch the fingerprint sensor without touching any button and the screen will wake.

Android doesn't have a functionality to put a fingerprint lock to open a certain app. For that you will have to use the link above.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domuzy:
i wish, but

in order to activate FP, it demands another locking feature.

i'd upload a screenshot, but it's not in english
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihovil13:
Yes and that is how it works with every device ever.

No device will allow you to have only fingerprint security (if you mean that you want to make it impossible to unlock your phone without your f.p) because modern (6.0+) Android phones would be thrown into the garbage if your f.p. sensor stops working properly. (the system encryption will be fu*ked cause it requires a pin)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domuzy:
It says: fp with linw/password/code.

No option for "just" fp.

Android 7.1.1
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
Just like what was said above, there is no option for just fingerprint. You need to have a backup way of unlocking your device. So if you get your fingers chopped off, fingerprint sensor fails, etc. you could still unlock your phone with a pin/password/pattern.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domuzy:
so what mihovil13 said:

"With Nexus 6P you just have to touch the fingerprint sensor without touching any button and the screen will wake"

is not correct?

just the FP isn't enough
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domuzy:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domrayn:
Hi guys. In my country, there is a 200 dollar price difference between the official sellers and online seller who ships from abroad. The price of the online seller is cheaper because they don't have the official sony warranty. This seller has a good reputation. People have bought many phones from them without encountering issues. I also treat my phones well enough to last at least two years. My question is the actual phone itself. I have never bought a sony phone before. Do I need to worry about defects and poor quality control issues?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Why wouldn't it have manufacturers warranty? As my sony phones have never been sent back to where I've got them it's always been Sony direct
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langeveld024:
If it's a genuine Sony, you should have manufacturer warranty.

You could have a faulty unit (left-hand lens blur in camera) and maybe other faults like a blueish display so I should play safe and make sure u can get it replaced in the first two weeks or so.

Overall, I don't have any issue with my replacement Z5.

NO, Maybe it's cheap,but it has the high risk.

The android version of Netflix's player you find on google play is very difficult to use if you don't have a touch screen.

All the keyboard shortcut have been disabled! save for the <left> <right> and <esc> keys.

Perhaps there is some setting that can be configured in the file: /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/shared_prefs/nfxpref.xml

To enable keyboard controls and better yet allow some sort of keymap to "map keys to netflix functions like <pause>"

The remote I got with my android TV box is seen as a keyboard inside android.

In summary, Netflix performs well on Android TV boxes, but it’s very annoying to control.

I am sure many users face this problem with Netflix on generic Android TV box.

Has anybody managed to find a work around to this?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
So, about 2 weeks back I bought sunshine and I was loving the unlocked bootloader and a custom rom. I lost my job a couple days after so I went to my fiance's fathers house to help him with on some demolition and rebuilding of the house. He has a hot tub. Turns out, a few drinks later we decide after working for hours, let's hit the hot tub and grab a few more beers. So I put my turbo in the swim trunks pocket and totally forget it's there. We slam a shot then head outside while it's snowing because being in the hot tub when it's snowing is pretty cool. Then I just jump right in and the phone is still in my pocket. Not realizing it, we spend 45 minutes in the tub and when I get out I find the phone in my pocket. Phone is completely shot. I put it in oats for 3 days and tried to charge and power it on, needless to say, it still didn't come back on. Now we can all laugh all my idiotic story! :crying::crying::crying::crying::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I don't mind rebuying it though, it's a useful and cool thing. I love to have full control of my phone.

Cheers guys!

Just for ***** and giggles you should try putting it in silica (you can buy bags of it in craft shops for drying flowers) because it actually attracts draws water to it. It may actually pull enough out to boot up the phone. (I would never trust it to work but would be neat to see if it could turn on)

Yeah I actually ended up taking the phone apart and checking out the internals and I ran it under a fan for another full day but it appears the strong chlorine from the tub actually corroded a bunch of resistors and all kinds of stuff.
