Hi,

I'm pretty new to tinkering with Android and mobile devices in general.

I was tasked by a family member to try and "repair" a non-working Lenovo tablet. As per the title, it seems like the problem is that it is stuck in boot loop. Here is about as much detail as I can come up with right now. Most or all of this is new stuff to me, so I apologize in advance if I misuse terms or misapply concepts; it's what I could gather over a bit of online searching.

- The tablet is owned by a non-tinkerer / casual user, so has the stock OS (I'm not entirely certain myself which, Jelly Bean?), hasn't been modded, no ROM installed, not rooted, not in USB debugging mode, unless these were a default setting to begin with.

- Upon power up, the tablet won't get passed the Lenovo logo, which seems like a boot loop and not a "brick state" as a lot of people often jump to. I could not say what was done prior to the first instance of this. The user probably didn't do anything fancier than downloading and using apps.

- I booted into recovery mode (hold power button and volume ±), wiped cache and a reset to factory, to no avail, still getting a boot loop.

- I'm not certain how to call it, but I can boot up in a different mode by holding power button and volume down, which gives me a few options and ends up displaying "Cold booting Linux" along with the Lenovo logo, but this still goes nowhere.

- I tried to sideload a few things over ADB, including factory firmware, but it always ends the same: "Installation Aborted". These were all .zip files, which I understand is the way to go. Maybe I didn't have an exactly correct file for the tablet?

I'm posting here because I'm pretty much out of ideas, any semblance of progress has stalled and I am only willing to spend so much time trying to revive an old tablet. Seems to me like the rooting and USB debug settings might be a problem at this point and I don't think it's fixable from here on.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Question] input keyevent shell not working anymore

Hello everyone !

I have been using a lot of profiles with a task to turn screen off (simulate a power button press) without locking it.

Was quite helpful in some cases. So I was using the shell command "input keyevent 23" (23 if I remember well, whatever).

But since lollipop, it seems input keyevent command is not working anymore...

Anyone knows why ? Is there any workaround ?

Thanks !
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] frrancuz.:
Work. ROOT needed.

23 - dpad center

26 - power

Lolipop. NOTE3.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] nuts77:
Thanks for the heads up :)

Yeah 26, I remember now...

I'm rooted. Just tried and I get the error message in tasker :

16.04.09/Shell runBackground input keyevent 26 root: true timeout: -1

16.04.09/Shell start process-thread ID 196

16.04.09/E add wait type Shell2 time 2147483647

16.04.09/E add wait type Shell2 done

I'm using a HTC One M9. Maybe this is a HTC Sense limitation... No idea why it isn't working. Root checked.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] nuts77:
Nope, rooted the good old' way! Unlocking BL, flashing custom ROM with superSU...
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] frrancuz.:
try to use the:

Display - system lock.

it is similar to power button.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
AutoInput might also work for you.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Sukarn:
I had to set SELinux to permissive to get input keyevent working again.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] nuts77:
Thanks ! That was the thing :) It's working again !

For whoever interested, now have to change the code to :

setenforce 0; input keyevent 26; setenforce 1

Thanks !
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] nuts77:
Thanks ! It works but I want the system to remain unlocked if it is :)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] snorrski:
I have been trying to do that, but with no luck. Can you give a hint as to how to set it up correctly?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Chrisu02:
edit: sorry, wrong thread ^^"

Hello guys :)

I have a question, does this tool also support keyevent "code" only ?, or only scancodes ?

I have a controller which does only report "Code" event numbers to the Android, Scancode is always 0.

I want to use it with tasker but it does only know scancodes, so i want to try to bind the codes to scancodes.

i attaches an image of the keyevent log.

sincerely Kri
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Tasker with the AutoInput plugin can intercept key codes or scan codes. See this post for an example.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Chrisu02:
Thanks for that information, maybe i`ll switch if find other issue.

for now i got it to work with help from a other forums, it is working with a logcat event (profile -event - system - logcat entry)

Kri
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Glad you solved it. Yes, the "new" logcat event could perform many of the existing events.

Hello everyone,

I would like to disable my LED when my phone is plug-in !

I'm use to read news at night when my phone is battery-less...

So, I have to keep my USB plug and the LED is so annoying...(And mess things up with my lady who cannot sleep)

I've try to add on my "build.prop":

## For safety
adb pull /system/build.prop

## Edit build.prop
adb shell
su -
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig
echo "" >> /system/build.prop
echo "# CUSTOM: Disable LED on charge" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.charge_led=off" >> /system/build.prop
reboot

After boot, this parameter seems OK :

adb shell getprop persist.sys.charge_led
off

But nothing is happening...

Does anyone have a clue ?

Hello, here's the thing, I have a Moto g xt1063 (single sim) and wish to convert it to dual sim. I bought dual sim adapter and installed in my phone. My phone is running latest android version (Marshmallow) but the second sim doesn't work as it is original single sim software. My question is, what to do, what to flash into my phone to enable dual sim function.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatingrocker17:
I haven't checked XDA in awhile because I gave up hope of ever having a good root solution for the Z5. But I have been looking around lately and have seen roms such as [ROM][E6653] Slim Stock 32.0.A.6.200 and the [LP][UB][ROOT][DRM][KERNEL][RECOVERY](TWRP3.0) Z5 ADV STOCK KERNEL (2016/03/04) (v1g) kernel. So as of now, I'm a little lost here. Of the 15+ Android phones I've had, this has been the most complicated.

I understand that root is possible by unlooking the bootloader and that as of now, there is no root solution for a locked bootloader. Are you now able to unlock the bootloader and root with phone without losing any features?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You still lose DRM. There is a possibility to trick the phone into thinking the DRM keys aren't wiped restoring the DRM features after unlocking the bootloader but the DRM is still missing.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatingrocker17:
So you'll lose DRM keys but you can still retain all the features? I hope the same will be true for the Marshmallow update.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's right. We don't have a kernel to run modified system images on MM just yet so can't confirm nor deny it working.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] PoedelPCS:
I use tasker for many things, but what makes problems since leaving Kitkat is displaying scenes right after the phone was woken up, in special during an incoming call.

I programmed gestures to accept an incoming call and show pictures in scenes to show the user what gesture he has to make.

If the display is on and a call comes in it works perfectly; all scenes are shown as desired. If the screen is off and there's an incoming call the scenes are not shown at all. The rest of the task works. I tried to flash toast messages; even that doesn't work during an incoming call after stand-by. In kitkat it worked, not in LP nor MM.

you can somehow reproduce that by a profile like this:

on incoming call -> wait 5 secs -> flash toast: "test" or display a random scene

Running bliss Rom as you can see in my signature. Any ideas, suggestions?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Ratchet_Guy:
What if you don't wait 5 seconds?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] PoedelPCS:

I've installed the pre-rooted version of remix and it's working fine apart from I can't get my little usb wifi dongle to work.

Has anyone any ideas? I can't use ethernet unfortunately.

Thanks
[Remix OS for PC] nansam:
Same issue! Installed Remix, rooted it manually, everything seemed to be perfect until I discovered I had no way of connecting to the Internet. It's a no-go!

There's a related thread on reddit(r/RemixOS/comments/49ahbx/how_to_connect_my_4g_lte_modem_to_remix_pc_rooted) that I'm following, not much there though. Someone on there recommended to tether Wifi, but I can't imagine running a second machine to do as a hotspot. That's just stupid and a waste of energy and not how things should be.

It's frustrating!:crying:

What's your dongle? XD Mine is the "famous" E3372/4G & I am with an Asian carrier.

There's a widget called PPP2 that works fine on many android devices but it isn't working on Remix. I submitted a post to the PPP2 forum:

Hi,

Firstly ,i have 2 x mini wi fi dongles .

they have usb options ( Huawei E5520 and a Vodafone lte .

Both connect to my laptop ( buildt in wifi ) No issues overall .

Also i can use my phone Note5 modem 3G/4G as a wifi hotspot and connect to laptop (Remix os ) .No issues ,works fine .This i did before and after rooting .

Maybe an option ?

good luck
[Remix OS for PC] nokmond:
I don't know if my windows phone supports usb tethering but I'll have a look. Cheers!
[Remix OS for PC] nansam:
The dev of PPP2 responded to my post from yesterday. Seems like PPP widget won't work with my dongle(E3372) and many others which do not support PPP. Ugh!

quote:

"This is a problem of the modems used, not of the OS.

The modems mentioned do not provide a PPP port, so they don't work with PPP Widget 2."

If PPP won't work, then I don't know... If you find a way, please share. Until then, Remix is pretty much useless.

I think the combination of clean master and the built in battery manager make for a better overall solution than the samsung smart manager.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bigjoejoe:
I have a profile "Work Wifi VPN" which is

State Wifi Connected matching SSID

- Trigger Task "Launch App" PIA VPN (which the app automatically connects to the vpn upon opening the app.

- Exit trigger "Launch App"

I can't get the app to close. I tried using a new task to kill the app when not on matching wifi, but that didn't work either. The only thing that happens, is when I'm off the wifi, the app launches again causing it to reconnect to the VPN again.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] apollopayne:
I use PIA and will have a go to solve it

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Only way I can achieve this, is by using secure settings and adding task to reboot the device but I know isn't the best option. But will keep exploring
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bigjoejoe:
Thanks, it looks like after some additional searching I can't kill the app without root (non-rooted nexus 6 currently). looks like it may be time to root after all
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] apollopayne:
I'm rooted but yet to solve it. But I'm only a beginner tasker user
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bigjoejoe:
I changed my exit task to be a kill app task. There is a checkbox to use root, which of course I can't. I read something about using the OpenVPN tasker plugin for this, but I still think I have to be rooted. oh well, I guess I'll have to keep clicking on disconnect when I leave the office. Thanks for checking!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] apollopayne:
I've tried the check button of root too but doesn't work. But will try that plugin now
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] kimboinatl:
I tried the OpenVPN plugin. It seems to only work with OpenVPN. If you only use one server with PIA then this is a legit option - just set up OpenVPN using the settings for that server instead of using PIA's app. The down side to this of course is that you won't be able to automatically connect to the server with the fastest connection.

What I do is a little kludgey, but it works. I use the AutoInput plugin to actually open the PIA app and hit the buttons "Disconnect" and "Stop Killswitch". So basically:

1. Set up a profile for Display Unlock + Not Wifi Connected + %VPN = 1 (I set this to 1 when it initially connects to wifi)

2. Create task called VPN Off

3. Set %VPN to 0

4. Launch app PIA

5. AutoInput Root action (you'll need to record the action and save it to execute it)

6. Say "VPN Off"

There's got to be a more elegant way to do it than this, but for now this is working for me.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] JLius:
I use secure settings, package state, pia, disable. And that stops pia completely.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] neflictus:
It's pretty simple actually. I was just browsing through the topics and I noticed this. I realise it's old, but maybe it will help somebody.

This works with any VPN provider. Not just PIA.

You'll need the OpenVPN Connect application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn&hl=en

Install the app, import the OpenVPN configuration files from your VPN provider and give them easy to work with names.

In tasker:

Profile - State - Net - Wifi Connected (input safe Wifi networks)
Task - Name - VPN Disconnect (you're disconnecting the VPN when using Home Wifi / safe wifi's)
Task: System - Send Intent
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
package: net.openvpn.openvpn
Class: net.openvpn.openvpn.OpenVPNDisconnect
Target: activity

Exit task

Name: VPN Connect
Task: System - Send Intent
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Extra: net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOSTART_PROFILE_NAME:profile_name_in_openvpn_application (I use the name of the country for the server. example: net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOSTART_PROFILE_NAME:Romania). This is the name of the profile in the OpenVPN application.
Package: net.openvpn.openvpn
Class: net.openvpn.openvpn.OpenVPNClient
Target: Activity

Good luck.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] loogielv:
I know that you dont want to trigger exit tasks based on entry tasks as tasker automatically prioritizes and will constantly misfire and fail on the exit task.

instead, make the entry task load the app, and set a timer variable for instance %VPNSHUTDOWN to %TIMES+60 (60 secs in the future) and keep another profile that has a time context to trigger at %VPNSHUTDOWN and that entry task to exit the app AND clear the variable VPNSHUTDOWN. Set the priority high

IF YOU REALLY WANT your exit task to exit the app it just opened set the priority higher than the entry task and change the setting on the task to keep new instances and kill old so it will exit the entry task if it's running and keep the exit
