[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anees02:
I have note 4 with Marshmallow 6.0.1 stock rooted rom.

The galaxy apps store interface language isn't English.

I asked Samsung Support about this issue and they said the language becomes as your SIM card country.

The problem is some data in my SIM card are wrong (the operator code is wrong)

Is that any way to change this code or any trick to make Samsung Galaxy apps store displays in English language?

Help me please.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 0penfred:
Hello,

could you please help me to find what is the difference between 930FD (supposed to be dual sim) whereas 930F is already dual sim ?

It seems there is no single sim version for the Galaxy S7, as 930F has 2 sim slot (SIM2 can accept a SD card: SIM2 or SD card).

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7-7821.php

"microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model

microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model"

It seems Gsmarena made a mistake, so could you please confirm that 930FD has 2 sim slots plus an additional microsd card slot ?

If you can please add a picture of the dedicated sd card slot (if any), I will really appreciate it. I googled a lot the web, youtube, and can't find any information about the ability to have 2 sims + 1 microsd on the 930FD S7...

Cheers,

Fred

HOW TO INSERT 2 NANO SIM (DUAL SIM ENABLED) AND MICRO SD CARD IN SAMSUNG GALAXY S7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scott14719:
Not currently. Samsung Pay is currently only available on carrier branded phones. Samsung is supposed to be rolling out Samsung Pay in certain European countries but there is no ETA on that and it is still unknown if / when Samsung Pay will work on non-carrier branded phones anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gunemalli:
What I've to say is The 930FD is the only dual SIM variant. 930F does not have the hardware for second SIM inside it. You can flash 930F roms to 930FD and both SIM slots would still work. Which means software-wise it's identical and is able to detect if the relevant hardware is in place.

So the second slot on the 930F is only for a microSD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AB__CD:
If you want a dual SIM Samsung Pay-capable S7, your best bet might be a Singaporean model, where Samsung Pay is launching later this year, sometime in Q2 or H2, can't remember. I can recommend mobyshop.com.sg if you want to purchase, the prices are quite low at around 600 USD for the 930FD, they do international delivery too. Do most of my phone shopping from them, no problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 0penfred:
OK, have look at this (also attached), bottom right of the picture:

http://webtrickz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/wp-1456111785260.jpeg

If I recap: 930F and 930FD are using the same "kind" of double card slot:

- 930F is 1 SIM only and has got a "dedicated" slot for microSD card

- 930FD is having the same SIM1 slot, but slot 2 can be used by either SIM2 or SD card.

Can you please confirm that 930FD is using slot 2 for SIM2 or microSD card, but not both ?

Now I understand GSMarena description:

- microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model

- microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model

Fred
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gunemalli:
Hi Fred,

Yes that's correct. FD uses a hybrid slot i.e. the second slot can be used for either a second SIM card OR a microSD card but not both.

Also you cannot take a FD tray, put 2 SIM cards and put it into an F model and expect the 2nd SIM to work (I think the tray will go in but 2nd SIM won't work since teh hardware is not present on the motherboard.).

Hope this covers your questions.

To root you have to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP, and use TWRP to flash supersu.

For the most part just follow the Heisenberg guide and you'll be fine.

Since you're on marshmallow make sure to install supersu systemless or your system won't boot. Don't use the old supersu linked to the Heisenberg thread. Stay away from the ivcarlos method linked there too; newer versions of supersu handle all that boot image patching automatically. You just have to be a little careful about what version of supersu you use. Supersu version 2.62 works fine. I can vouch for supersu 2.67 too, but you have to force it to install systemless. Enter this in TWRPs built-in terminal or an adb shell before flashing or it will try to install using the traditional method and you'll freeze on the big M when you reboot:

echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu

Just use TWRP to make a backup before you mess with rooting so you have something to fall back on in case things go wrong.

You'll have to use a very specific - older systemless root though. I think supersu-2.64, but I'll let someone else confirm that. The other superusers will not work.

Can someone clarify? I also just got the same exact phone and installed the Feb OTA updates, then unlocked the bootloader.

I just need to enter the following in the terminal and THEN flash Supersu? Is the code below what "forces it" to install systemless? Can I use the newest version of supersu if I pop this line in first?

echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
That command creates a text file /data/.supersu with one line in it "SYSTEMLESS=true". Supersu checks for that file when you flash it, and if it is found with sytemless set true installs systemless.

2.67 is the newest zip I tried it with, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with newer versions.

Just be sure to backup /boot /system and /data first. If anything goes wrong restoring those will get you back up and running.

It didn't work for me via adb command.... Had to use TWRPs built-in terminal. Just wrote wrote the line, as it is, go back to the main menu and flash Supersu (I used the latest one: 2.67) just as you normally do. Then reboot. No more stock in the M logo

Anxiety might lead to unexpected results

Can anyone make and post a video step-by-step on how to do this? Last night I was about to root my new Moto X Pure X1575 (No updates installed, need to freeze the process to avoid making the root process more difficult) and if I rushed I could've made a HUGE mistake. Mine is running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), was about to use previous and experimental methods but after reading this post I'd rather wait and make sure everything works.

Btw, I got my phone directly from Motorola, added a bit more memory through Moto Maker (32GB), will this make any difference in terms of getting the root access?

Thanks in advance
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Not really sure what you need a video for, the process is simple and the same for all Gen3/4 Moto devices... the chanced of "breaking" something are near zero. You need fastboot working, that is on you.

1) Unlock the bootloader

2) Download the latest TWRP and SuperSU. Place TWRP img in your fastboot directory and SuperSU zip on your device so you know where it is, internal storage or SD card is not relevant.

3) Start the bootloader, either with `adb reboot bootloader` or power off and hold VOL DN and then press and hold POWER until the menu comes up

4) Start TWRP with `fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img` and backup

5) Go to TWRP's Advanced menu and select Terminal

6) Enter `echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu` press enter , exit, and Home button

7) Install (Flash) SuperSU ZIP file, clear caches if you wish but it isn't necessary.

8) Reboot

That is all there is too it

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlynone:
So glad I saw this thread

I kept racking my brain trying to parse the various guides all pointing to old versions of supersu and old techniques and inconsistent steps. All you need to do is .

Unlock the bootloader through motorola's official steps (check their website)

Download at least SuperSU 2.76 (check their website) and push it to your phone with adb

Flash the latest twrp with adb (making sure to reboot into recovery right afterward before you boot the phone)

Boot into recovery, and:

Add the "SYSTEMLESS=true" line to /data/.supersu using twrp's terminal

Install the SuperSU zip in twrp

I think if twrp asks you about keeping /system as read-only, you should say yes although I didn't do that the first time and I think I might not be eligible for OTA right now.

Also, it's possible that in the future, the latest versions of SuperSU might default to the systemless install. So don't necessarily rely on these instructions, or anyone else's if the release notes seem to contradict anything here.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
TWRP is flashed with fastboot, not adb. :)

You have to allow TWRP to write/change system, and it will not stop future OTAs because of that but you can't take an OTA with TWRP installed or it will bootloop. If you leave system read-only TWRP will get overwritten by stock recovery on the next boot.

Once SuperSU is installed systemless, it will update systemless, at least that's what we have seen so far.

Basically, if your rooted or have custom recovery, you cannot take an OTA... Period. Even if you get it to flash somehow the install script will see a modified system and fail.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
The idea behind systemless root is that it does not flag your system as being rooted which allows for an easier process to get your phone to a state to take an OTA. To take an OTA, you still have to restore certain things to stock such as recovery and get rid of root. However, you do not necessarily have to go all out and flash official ROM to out of the box factory status. However, keep in mind that some apps that require root will modify your system if you install, such as Xposed. Once an app does this, you have to flash full official ROM to get back to factory status if you want an OTA. Or you can wait on someone to create a zip file of the OTA to install via TWRP (if such a file gets created of course).

Silly mistake after looking for more space available on disk

After the making of the recovery partition, my phone memory got half full... looking forward to fix this, I erased the TWRP folder from the phone and now it won't boot but freeze after motorola logo. What can I do? Please help! :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlynone:
Yes, of course. I wrote too quickly.

I thought when you first booted into TWRP that it gave you an option to leave system read-only?

I thought a modified system and/or the indication that system had ever been mounted read-write would make you device unavailable for OTA.[/QUOTE]

So, is there a documented method for getting an OTA update and then getting back to TWRP/root without losing your apps/data?

Yeah, that seems good. I wish on initial install it could detect whether it should be systemless without having to edit that text file.

Thanks so much for this simple explanation, I was stalled at the other two methods and found this thread.

I am on a XT1575 that I bought yesterday at bestbuy

I put UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip on my external sdcard and flashed it with TWRP 3.0.2-0-clark.img after putting in the commands as listed in post #2.

When super super was installing it mentioned that it was doing so systemless.

This was after following the steps found elsewhere on XDA and mentioned in post #2 to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. AND make a nandroid backup!

I'm on November 1st 2015 Android security patch level, it may have been said but am I safe to install system updates from Motorola and do I want to?

Are you feeling adventurous and going outside stock rom.? I get the same level of features and plus much more running dirty unicorns.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
With a custom recovery you can't install moto's OTA updates. You have to be on stock recovery with an unmodified system. All they've released since your phone was updated were a Feb security patch and May security patch. They're all Android 6.0 based.

Somebody posted a full firmware package for the May patch over in the firmware thread. Personally I find it less disruptive to just fastboot flash pieces of it than to get back to close enough to stock to take an OTA.

If you choose to update this way, don't use the flashfile that comes with it. You want to follow most of those steps, but not all so you don't erase all your userdata or lose TWRP (maybe). I did this:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Keep an eye on the terminal output when you flash modem. If it fails the first time, just enter the same command again. Sometimes it takes twice. :confused:

Boot into your new system once just to make sure everything behaves. You will lose root since you flashed a stock boot image, and any root apps might complain. Also TWRP might get overwritten with stock recovery. Once you're up and your new system settles, boot back into TWRP and root just like you did the first time. If you find yourself in stock recovery instead of TWRP, then just go back to bootloader and fastboot flash TWRP again.

I guess its a little complicated, but my system is usually so heavily modified I find it easier to just push the updates myself than restore back to bone stock to take an OTA. Your choice.

The custom ROMs are worth a look. They're getting better all the time. The custom ROM battery life still can't quite touch stock for me, and they all have something that aggravates me enough I find myself back on stock after a few weeks.

Tried it both ways man. Just fails the first time about half the time. Started erasing the modemst stuff first because once I did that and flashing the modem file didn't fail the first time.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Flashing NON-HLOS.bin just fails the first time sometimes. I've never saved the fastboot output.

I've restored this phone this way about eight times and I bet it's about 50/50. Erasing modemst before or after doesn't seem to matter. As long as you have, or eventually get a good modem installed those partitions seem to end up OK. Sorry I don't have a better answer than that, but they don't seem to hold any irreplaceable efs data or anything like that.

Only started tinkering with this because a scripted restore kicked out some errors.

That happened to me too, when I restored to stock with the May update the other day. I even cut and pasted, so there were no typos. The "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" failed, so I just entered the command again, and it passed the 2nd time, and all was good.
