I am not sure if it has been asked before, but I want to understand the root process, not a specific phone root. I want to understand how it works. Can someone point me to a primer or any sites that at least discuss the generalities of root? Thanks in advance
[XDA Assist] Art Vanderlay:
Maybe this post will help

The general approach is taking advantage of bugs in the android OS

The process works something like this

User crafts some special data that contains a "payload" (the script/executable that we want to run)

User runs a system process that has root privileges and gets it to open the special data

The bug causes the system process to get confused by the data, and ends up running the embedded script

The embedded script runs with the same privileges as the system process, and thus can stuff that normal users aren't allowed to do (e.g. installs the SU app)

I can't post any outside links in this forum area but if you google for how root works you'll get heaps of good results.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord dredd:
I have a droid ultra with busted lcd and a droid maxx that i re entry purchased that had a cool done mode error.

Wanted to ask if I can get the ultras board installed into the maxx.

Or if there is anyway to fix that cool down mode error that stayed when the maxx was once dropped.

Thanks

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durteedee:
Yes you can swap the boards, the thermal Issuse no clue, but know you will lose that 32gb storage
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord dredd:
Yeah that's the mess up,

I wish I could get this issues fixed in the maxx
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morr22066:
Cool down mode, shut down, reboot

Yeah my maxx had between having the same problems. I get the cool down message sometimes, but must of the time or just shuts down.

I have reflashed different firmware in RSD lite and with mfastboot, factory reset and tried everything I can think of. I eventually got another phone (HTC one m8) and set my maxx aside to tinker with when I had time.

The maxx does pretty well if it is plugged into the factory charger or if I do not touch it or move it at all. From everything I have been reading online it sounds like it 'may' be the battery or a poor connection to the battery. And of course the is the possibility it could be the board.

I have found replacement batteries online from 25 to 35 dollars. And I have found other maxx's and ultra's that are broken and being sold cheap for 30 to 50 dollars on swappa and eBay. Once I have some extra money I am going to try and work on it some more. Please post on here to let us know if you get your phone fixed and what you did to fix it.

[Verizon LG G3] baldybill:
Rode Warrior - which would you recommend? xdabbed's or RoxanaSchram's?

Is RoxanaSchram's basically xdabbed's but debloated and hotspot ready?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I use [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's with the full debloat that I offer in debloat zips, plus some extra debloating beyond that. If he releases a v3.0 of his VS985 ROM based on 46A I would definitely be using that. Overall I think his v2.0 is my favorite.

Sounds right, but can't answer from personal experience since I don't use it. I know it was based on [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's, and that she included debloating and I think she included [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's hotspot mod.

[G 2014 General] PermittedBog24:
stock recoveries do not allow these sort of updates as they try and protect your device. to do this you need to install a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP. you can download everything you need through the google play store :)
[G 2014 General] quechua1:
Flash this file "RETUAWS_XT1064_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.4_cid9_CFC.xml" following this guide but after "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3" add this comand "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4" this is VERY IMPORTANT, if you don't add this comand you can't install any OTA, it will give you error.

After that you are going to recive the OTA alert 22.46.12 and then you will be able to receive or intall the 6.0 OTA.

I have just made it and I recive the 6.0 OTA automatically.

For Marshmallow 6.0 Root use this guide other Root methods cause bootloop in official Marshmallow 6.0.

[G 2014 General] m0yP:
Finally some love for XT1064! Hopefully the full version will come out these days!

We in Mexico have also the 1064 variant, though. Just a matter of flashing the RETUAWS LP and then take the OTA. Tried flashing the RETCA firmware but got no signal at all, so flashed NIIMX baseband and H+ came back. Since it's my GF's I don't have full access to it; also, she's sick of LP (as some of you may also be).
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
I installed it and checked for updates, nothing. Any idea why it wouldn't produce the same results?
[G 2014 General] quechua1:
No idea. When I did it, the OTA alert appeared automatically.

Try all the guide again and check use all the commands in order.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
I tried it again and it still says that it's up to date, and when I tried using the Ota file to flash via recovery it wouldn't let me saying it's expecting lx not 'lxb' which is what was flashed via your guide
[G 2014 General] quechua1:
You can't flash 6.0 OTA directly, you need an intermediate OTA (22.46.12) for that, the problem is we don't have that OTA captured, your only choice is wait the OTA?:rolleyes:

Sigh, I guess so, it's only a back up phone so I'm not worried but it would have been nice to have

Thanks. I'm gonna try this.

Will the OTA updates install if I'm currently using twrp as my recovery? Or will this method replace it with the stock one?
[G 2014 General] quechua1:
This method replace it with the stock one, you can flash twpr again later.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
So it's been a while now, I'm still stuck on 5.0.2, no updates available and it won't allow me to flash from recovery with the captured OTA file for the usual security reasons (fingerprint mismatch)

If you have Kingroot app, then you can open settings-remove root and it should get you unrooted. If you have SuperSu, then uninstalling it doesn't unroot your phone, you can open SuperSu and scroll down a bit to select an option "Full unroot". Then you can install Root Checker and check if you succeeded.

Hi,

I have a es2700f from erisin on my Fiat Bravo II. This is a rk3188 (MTCB-KGL-V2.80, android 4.4.4) with an external canbus box.

I would continue to use the 'Blue & Me' ( B&M) features for the phone usage and the integration seems to exist... but with bugs :(

When I click on the steering wheel command (the windows logo) a screen with a microphone picture appears on the screen (the window title is 'car info'?). Normally after a couple seconds a voice should ask me 'What do you want to do?' but nothing. If I ask for a phone number (this is a voice recognition) the call start and all is fine. I hear my interlocutor, that's prove than the es2700f is able to detect a 'blue & me' call activity and to switch on the audio external input (from the B&M unit). The issue is during the command recognition where the Android unit should cut the current audio thread and switch on the 'Aux IN'.

I think this is not a CANBUS recognition issue because of the micro displayed during the recognition step. What can be done, is it a configuration file with this kind of option? Is someone has an idea?

THanks

Use "SmartSwitch" which replaced Kies.

It will give you BOJ1...

There is also an even newer firmware from December BOL6 which is on Sammobile. It came via OTA but not sure why its not automatically downloading.

Currently sticking with BOJ1 until I can figure out what is up with BOL6.

I did update my mom's S2 to BOL6 and it ran fine.

It should be noted that there is no source yet for BOL6 as its fairly new. I have requested it and it will be released soon.

But that means there is no kernel for root. One could use the older firmware root kernel and it should work fine but I find it best to always use the correct kernel.

What happen was that when it loaded resident mode, it just formated the stick by itself and now it works !

Hey, I can atleast run MS Word on it and play android games on it, so no complaints.
[Remix OS for PC] TP4LG:
Take it step-by-step

I know how frustrating it is when everyone in the world can install it except us, all I can say is take it in steps. If your device does not even boot when you select Recovery or Guest mode, just press c and go to grub> prompt. From there try playing with grub commands as listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Commands. It might or might not work but you will learn something about grub :D

<Edit> Wanted to to add, when at grub> prompt type ls. It will list out your partitions, then if you try ls (hd0, gptN) where N is your partition, you will know what file system it is. You can they enter that info in grub.cfg or reboot and command edit (e) and add it there.

Depending on how much time you are ready to spend on getting RemixOS installed, you can search askubuntu. Usually you will get an idea about what is involved in getting ISO to boot in 32 bit EFI. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support.

Good luck.
[Remix OS for PC] Darrian:
Thanks for sharing your grub.cfg. I was already on the right track, but since I didn't know the syntax or the path to the Windows bootloader I couldn't do much more than make a Windows entry in the boot menu that didn't actually do anything. I was going nuts trying to find the proper grub entry for Windows. Now my Toshiba Encore 2 is dual booting perfectly. If only there was a way to install Remix on a NTFS partition, instead, so I could have more than 4gb of data... Just FYI, the 64-bit Remix works just fine; just point grub to the 64-bit file instead of the 32-bit file in your cfg.
[Remix OS for PC] SalarX:

Hurray! This worked for me - at least Remix OS is creating data right now. i just had to do one more thing:

- add the bootia32.efi from remix os volume into the efi trusted file and put remix os at the top of boot list directly from efi setup

- everything works. Clearly for Play store to work decently you need to remove unknown source AND set good time zone.

- now i was wondering if there is a way to change the size of the data.img to use most of my 16gb partition for remix os :)
[Remix OS for PC] SalarX:
Try RMXtools by [MENTION=5477568]imadlatch[/MENTION]
[Remix OS for PC] lilins:
Thanks. that worked but as an internal drive can only be ntfs or fat32 i assume it is not possible to boot the remix pc from ntfs... so is there a way to tell android x 86 base boot files to look for data.img on my sdcard reader or use the whole sdcard as data disc ? :)

it would be the best way to have enought space to enjoy :)
[Remix OS for PC] SalarX:
What format is your SD card?

I've not tried it, but maybe, you can keep your boot files (efi or isolinux) to the fat32 drive and move your all other files such as kernel, data.img, system.img, etc to an NTFS drive, overcoming the size limitation.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

If you could try one thing that would great. This might help many to achieve a data size partition greater than 4 gb :)

1. Moving all the files to an NTFS drive (keeping the EFI and isolinux folders in your current FAT32).

2. If that doesn't work, moving the kernel file back to your FAT32 drive.

3. If that fails too, moving initrd.img back to your FAT32 drive too.

4. If that fails, moving system.img back to your FAT32 partition too. (means in the end just leaving data.img on an NTFS partition)

Share your finding, by hit n trial :)
[Remix OS for PC] TP4LG:
I already tried something similar. I tried to install RemixOS on ext4 partition. It uses the entire partition size for OS, no data.img needed at all. But the downside is it does not turn WIFI ON. I can see lot of "intent" errors in logcat when I switch to prompt window by pressing ALT+F1 in RemixOS and typing logcat at the prompt.

I will try your suggestion later today and post results to this thread.
[Remix OS for PC] lilins:
I agree to test, but which file holds the args to look for the "ntfs drive" files instead of the fat32 drive where boot.efi file is?

Envoyé de mon SM-A510F en utilisant Tapatalk
[Remix OS for PC] SalarX:
set root='(hd0,gpt5)'

This tells the boot manager to look for the kernel file to boot and initrd.img.

Regarding to look for boot.efi, that you already specify in your bios settings.

Now the question is, do we need to specify an argument to detect system.img and data.img or is that automatically done?
