[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] Youdoofus:
hi there! i read the OP and was wondering about the backing up of the DRM keys. Is this necessary if all i want to do is got SU access? Im new to sony devices, but am well versed in Samsung, HTC and Moto devices, so i dont think i ll have any trouble rooting, just curious about any pitfalls i should be aware of so i can avoid them
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] EMJI79:
If you wouldn't do it and you have a problem flashing something in the future, you might lose many things including the most important for me: x reality and some camera noise cancelling
[Xperia Z5 Premium Android Development] miramirovich:
Use only firmware for your device and create a repacked kernel-boot.img with rootkernel_v5.0 from your own firmware, also

I chose E6833_6.0.1_32.2.A.0.253 because rootkernel_v5.0 support it this one. It is not the latest one but you have TWRP and then root with

SuperSU-v2.78-SR5-20161130091551 as I did it - confirmed and working.

You can find this firmware in this Polish site http://www.xperiasite.pl/forum/333-xperia-z5-premium/

Good Luck

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaQu82:
Hey,

I got a hold of this Samsung Galaxy S6 LDU (SM-G920X) from a Samsung REP who actually works for the company and there is a slight problem with the unit. It has indeed the Retail mode installed and it is blocking a factory reset. But ontop of that someone (he has no idea who) has managed to setup a fingerprint lock on the phone. So essentially I can't reset the phone to get rid of the fingerprint (because the retail block) and I can't go in to take off the retail block because of the fingerprint.

I have flashed the BL, AP and CSC once and still I'm at the same place I started.

Does anyone have a workaround for this? No data needs to be stored. We actually want this to be used as a Gear VR demo machine.

He is already asking around if any of his colleagues know of the 2ndary password, but so far we just don't know. (Yes I do find it somehow funny, ironic even that a samsung rep would ask a retail specialist to help in such a manner but then again I do dabble on such things occasionally).

Any ideas?

I purchased the S7 hoping to utilize my head unit on my 2014 Honda Civic. I installed RockScout to ensure SOMETHING would show up and it did. I installed Car Mode through the Galaxy app store, and the app shows up under the Mirrorlink "menu" in settings under MirrorLink applications. One would think that this would mean it should show up on the car's screen when connected, but alas it does not.

Is there something I'm missing? Has anyone else been able to get this to work?

:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] fasm:
solved... somewhat

So I found a solution for those who may be having the same issue.

--- I guess I can't post links yet because I'm so new.. go to youtube and use this video id to watch: xEaR97-ETeM ---

surprisingly, this seems to have made the car mode work for me.

Perform the steps shown in the video,

Open Car Mode on your phone

Connect the phone to the car via USB

Select one of the available MirrorLink apps (in my case it was Rock Scout)

The chosen app will open and the Car Mode nav bar will appear on the left. Now you can just hit it's home button and you're taken to Car Mode.

Now I need to figure out how to get Google Maps to work on Car Mode. Currently, it looks like it only supports navigation apps that Mirror Link supports

(I'm assuming due a head-unit-display-UI not being available on Google Maps.. probably legal reasons there) :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iroky2000:
What is the title of the youtube video? I tried your link and it did not work out for me.

When I connect the Galaxy S7 to my stereo, the Samsung automatically locks on the Mirrorlink connection screen, it will not let me navigate way.

Running a Sony XAV-601BT and same issue. It shows as connected (however get a USB device not recognized error), tried the tricks above and no dice :( Really disappointed so far, as my old Z2 worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jstylen:
Found some info in the Subaru forums. Sounds like MirrorLink 1.1 is more strict about what it allows to display. So 1.0 just kinda mirrored everything, 1.1 actually checks to make sure you don't wiggle your way into another app. Since Car Mode isn't allowed by the car, even though its MirrorLink certified, it gets blocked... Sigh...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jisoo:
Yes, MirrorLink 1.1 also requires each specific app to be certified before it can be displayed. I don't think Google is going to support this ever, since they are pushing their own Android Auto.

I've only got this to work with HTC phones. See my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhFsBz31-qU

There are other videos on youtube as well . . all using HTC phones.

I've tried my process on a couple nexus devices and samsung devices, they don't work.

Something about the HTC mirrorlink technology thats works perfectly... EVERYTHING works.

So . . . i'm currently stuck using a cheap HTC 626s phone because it works so well with my 2014 Civic si head unit.

Currently looking for a used HTC m9 or 10 so I can have a beefier phone but still retain the mirrorlink functionality.

I have a pioneer nex and a galaxy s7. The online way i found to conecct was installing sygic car Navigation, the app works with mirrorlink so it opens on the hu, then i just exit the app and boom full mirroing, the only problem is that the Phone stays locked while conected.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KarlDroid:
I've heard that the pioneer is easy to hack, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Linux that these seem to run? Is there a way to trick the car head unit to allow any device with a custom rom to connect to mirrorlink 1.1?

My mass storage device is recognised but the internal SD card in MTP mode isn't. Does Sygic App allow it to connect regardless?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mac989999:
Anyone has skills how to mod car mode app, so it works like RockScout. Apparently it only works on VW mirorlink radios, I have a Subaru with the 7" Mirrorink 1.1 inch unit and it would be nice if this software barrier can be "corrected". I have seen it show car mode when exiting the RockScout app, so I know it works, just that its blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] KarlDroid:
There is a way to root the phone and then install an app that runs car mode, but this doens't work in 1.1 either. I have heard that someone was running CM mod with full mirroring. Any thoughts? There must be a way in Linux to connect and change the connect settings through the app? Is it it android specifiic ie version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] issasaurus:
I have the same vehicle. So frustrating to have a brand new car with a perfectly decent screen built in (picture of backup cam looks pretty good) and no ability to take advantage of it. They want us to pay however many thousand dollars more to use their navigation system, which I'm sure sucks out of the box and will no doubt be useless in 1-2 years anyway. It would be SO MUCH SAFER if they let us just mirror the friggin screen. You KNOW it's not that compatibility is complicated. Dicks. (I love my Subaru otherwise :o)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjhking:
I have installed 4 different custom ROMs over the last two weeks: Cyanogen; CyanideL; Dirty Unicorns and last Gummy. They run variously a 4.4 through 5.1 variant. With all I have experienced problems using the phone (that is, the actual phone feature - make and receive calls). In general, having made or received a call the phone screen locks and I am unable to get control back - I have to do a battery pull and reboot. I have made a call and put the phone to my ear - the prox sensor kills the screen and then that is it - unable to do anything. I have made calls without raising the phone to my ear and sometimes able to use keypad to interact with the system at the other end, sometimes not.

I am about to go back to a stock (but rooted) ROM (see here) but thought someone with better tech skills than I might be able to give me a solution to my woes.

Additional background: been rooted for about 3 years. Comfortable flashing new ROMs (now) via recovery mode using CWM. Comfortable using Odin. Have read a little about flashing modems and kernels but have stayed away from that so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xBkKx:
In my experience many of the ROMs don't have the proximity sensor functioning correctly I see a lot of users get around this by flashing Shift kernel or AGNI Kernel. If absolutely no ROM works including stock then your proximity sensor could have dust covering it and I suggest getting some canned air or even trying to blow inside the top earpiece. I haven't tried any of the ROMs you mentioned so I have no experience on the proximity functionality with them.

Mobile Data on/off toggle is missing in the quick toggles when we pull down the statusbar. I want it back. Anyways to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
+1 This for sure. I pre-ordered my S7 Edge and I love this phone, but what blew me away was when I noticed this right off the bat after walking out of the AT&T store. I tried to turn off my data to save on my plan unless I absolutely needed it, and the toggle is nowhere to be found. I switched from a Galaxy S4 Active SHV-E470S and the toggle was always there even after the OTA update. This phone is brand new. WTF Samsung?

One thing I did notice is that the "Usage Manager" app that is pre-installed from AT&T has a data toggle built into it that turns off the data, but it seems more like a modified application to work with the phone rather than a system toggle that could be linked somewhere. Very odd.

Anyone with an answer or any ideas on this, your help is tremendously appreciated!

EDIT:

Here's a screenshot of the AT&T Usage Manager app I mentioned earlier, not sure it will be of much help but we have to start somewhere.

Same here no mobile data toggle option. Also with my s6 before, i tried the Quick Panel Restore app on galaxy app store, and it works. But i couldn't fine it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
[MENTION=2983201]sindre2104[/MENTION] what is your carrier? And when you click the edit option in the toggles panel, does it give you the option to add or remove that toggle? That's very odd, half of us seem to have no toggle while you and likely a few others do have it. So the S7 Edge does have the data toggle ability.

The question now is, how do the rest of us without that toggle enable it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thunderroid:
AT&T removed it, it's not Samsung's fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Mattie143:
I have an AT&T S7 Edge, no mobile data toggle. I've tried the quick toggle restore, and the quick toggle manager. I don't believe they work on Android M.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
That's strange. Well, I guess for the time being everyone on AT&T will have to stick with the "Usage Manager" app to be able to somewhat quickly toggle mobile data, without digging in the settings app. Talk about an inconvenient change, I haven't the slightest idea why they thought it would be a good idea to remove it.

Who knows though, maybe there will be an update or patch for it soon, or a compatible app that can fix the issue. It's such a common feature, removing it was a horrible idea.

Anyone else having this issue outside of AT&T?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tool2269:
No toggle on my Sprint phone either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
So it seems to be mainly a U.S. issue, I'm guessing (though [MENTION=2195706]mathrania[/MENTION] is in India and has the same issue). [MENTION=2983201]sindre2104[/MENTION] showed that he can use the toggle right out of the box, but his carrier is Telenor from Norway.

I'm also noticing a lot of subtle but noticeable differences in each device screenshot presented, for instance my device says "flashlight" rather than "torch" in the toggle window, among other things.

I simply can't figure out why they would remove the feature in certain countries while leaving it there in others. There's no viable explanation for it :confused:

I just emailed Xperiacle Apps about this, they're the developers of the patch app released to fix a nearly identical issue that was present in the Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge models called "QuickPanel Manager". The app is $1.48 in the Play Store, linked below:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xpe.app.quicksettings.manager&hl=en

As for the official Samsung "QuickPanel Restore" app released for the S6 and S6 Edge here, I'm going to take the risk and see if it can work on the S7. If not, it's back to the drawing board from there.

How do you know?

EDIT:

[MENTION=712426]tool2269[/MENTION] do you have an app similar to AT&T's "Usage Manager" app installed to toggle your data as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sindre2104:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tool2269:
No usage app. I have to go to settings/data usage/ to turn off mobile data.

EDIT: I do have a similar app under Settings/Smart manager. That shows battery, storage, and ram usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
Downloaded the official QuickPanel Restore APK file from the XDA thread and installed it. Lookout registered it as "riskware" so I had to temporarily disable security and unknown sources before the install. It looks nothing like it does on the S6 and S6 Edge, it was just a plain button in the middle of the screen. When tapped it brought up a toast notification that read "no toggles to restore". I checked my toggle window and nothing changed. Seems like we'll have to dig deeper on this one.

Hopefully Samsung releases a similar app for the S7 and S7 Edge to patch the removal of this and other toggles. I'm out of ideas for the moment.

It seems that both the S6 and S7 international versions have the data toggles enabled out of the box. Maybe the software really is engineered this way for the carrier-specific models alone, though I don't know why. I'll post back if I find out anything new, but it's starting to look like they designed it this way intentionally.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
Well that's one thing verizon didnt remove
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDaggs:
There is one quick solution that I've found somewhat helpful, though it's not a free option.

If you're willing to pay the small price for it ($1.50 USD) it's pretty handy. "Quick Setting" is an Edge app for the S7 Edge that puts toggles on the edge screen. The data toggle is in there by default, even on my phone (AT&T) that had the status bar toggle removed. On phones without the status bar toggle, though, the data button is only a shortcut to the menu with the data toggle checkbox.

It works better than nothing, though. I like the "Data Usage Manager" Edge app also. It helps me do the one thing I'm sure we've all been trying to do this whole time, simply manage our data usage.

I'll post screenshots when I get access to a good camera, I can't use the screenshot function when the Edge panel is active for some reason.

EDIT:

Here is a screenshot of the edge app mentioned.

S7 Edge No Data Toggle -By Samsung only

Hey guys

Got the same problem.

Missing Data toggle on my new Galaxy S7 Edge.

So contacted Samsung for the same and finally got to know that Canadian versions of S7 Edge does not have this Data toggle option. Moreover if we buy the Edge special app for toggles, which I did; it doesn't help at all. You can see the data toggle but when you click it; it takes you to Data Roaming setting.

I argued with Samsung customer care to provide this feature anyhow, but unfortunately nothing official can be done to get the toggle.

I hope someone finds a 3rd party solution or script to make it work on Canadian S7 Edge.

Data toggle is must!
