[HTC Desire 500] E.Bonobox:
Hi all,

i've just tried to root this HTC500 Dual Sim and everything was going fine untill i've installed CWMRecovery.

As soon as i've installed that file the phone went off and now it's not turning on.

If i put under charge i have a blinking orange light.

I can't access or switch it on.

I've tried to remove the battery for 10min, tried to "recalibrate" the charging circuit (holding all the button for 2 mins), tried to press 10 time the power button and than 2 min....but nothing.

I've also tried the method of putting the plaster and cover the central pins of the battery

is it dead?

Hi, just wanted to start a thread to see what everyone's views on the best battery banks and third party chargers are for the Huawei mate 8 .

What brand/model battery bank do you have?

What's the best compatible third-party charger and/or car charger ?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluheart:
Nice buddy.

1) Do we really need a battery bank? No

2) Third party chargers aren't up to mark, nearest was QC 3.0 chargers, Aukey, which I used, charged the fastest.

Anker Powercore+ 26800mah

https://www.anker.com/products/B1372014

Had enough of cheap China battery packs with fake mah and swelling batteries. Anker stuff is expensive, but it's closer to actual mah listing and is much more reliable. Also the 26800mah battery pack is way, way heaver than all of the cheaper battery banks that cost less than half and are listed as a higher mah, so you can tell they don't actually use enough cells in a lot of the other ones.

[Samsung Gear S2] apprentice:
I am not sure why I am having so much trouble removing the straps from the Gear S2 (sport) as I have looked at a couple of videos that make it look easy. I pull back the latch and then tug like hell to get the strap off nearly breaking my thumb, it can sometimes take 2 or 3 minutes. I am also worried that I might break the watch in the process.

Has anyone else had a problem or is it just me? If not maybe you could share a couple of tips on the best way to remove them. I have 3 different colour straps that I am reluctant to use because of this!
[Samsung Gear S2] Lancerz:
You're supposed to push the latches away from the watch and slide the band off easily. You shouldn't have to tug on it at all.
[Samsung Gear S2] apprentice:
Yeah, pretty much what I do. Pushing the latch away and then trying to slide out the strap. Maybe I am pulling at an angle or something. I don't normally get phased by these sorts of problems but this one is frustrating!

.
[Samsung Gear S2] Sonin66:
Are they original samsung straps? That could also be your problem, they probably just need to broken and warn in
[Samsung Gear S2] apprentice:
They aren't original, so yes I think you're right. I just put the old ones back on and they are much easier to take off! So hopefully the problem solved. Thanks :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Sonin66:
I would just keep playing with the locking mech off the watch. You just have to get them "greased" in if you will!
[Samsung Gear S2] Chrisite:
My bands won't come off. They are not the originals because they broke. I have tried everything to get them off. But it's stuck the bottin will go in but the strap will not move. I have even put the watch face down and tried it won't work. What should I do?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepepapa82:
Hi all,

I've just bought the moto g3. I'm not rooted or changed the ROM, it is all stock.

I'm experiencing an issue with the FM Radio App. I turn it on and everytime I hit the home link it takes me to desktop (this is ok). but it also ruins the fm audio sound. the sound becomes saturated.

A workaround to this is: restart the radio and either switch off the screen with the right button or change app via the square button.

Anyone experiencing the same issue? any known solution? any alternative "air" fm radio app?

Preferebly, i woudn't like to root it.

thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
Enjoy. Don't forget to thank [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] too, he discovered the eMMC backdoor and exploited it!

UPDATE: [8/2/16] I have recompiled the binary with some fixes beaups made. These fixes should take care of the "samsung device only" error some are getting on 4.4 roms.

Disclosure: I do not own a Note 3. The exploit happened to be applicable to the Note 3, and we compiled it for your devices rather than not release it at all. This seems like a reasonable and friendly thing to do for the community. I can't help you root or teach you how to use ADB. It's important you have the ability to do these things or research them a bit before blindly using this. I am very familiar with Samsung however, and time permitting, will do my best to help anyone having issues.

You should not run this if you don't understand it.

ROOT REQUIRED, we aren't responsible for

anything

you do with this.

You NEED a MicroSD, and it WILL be formatted during this process.

YOU MUST DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK OR YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!!!!!!!

You can download the eMMC brick bug check app on the Play Store to verify your CID starts with 15. If it does, you are good. If not, it will not work.

The code below is NOT a script, you must enter the commands manually.

You must unzip the file first.

Download

adb push unlock_n3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 unlock_n3
chown root.root unlock_n3
./unlock_n3

Allow device to reboot. After full reboot, run

adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
./unlock_n3

again, power down and pull battery. May need to run it again if it doesn't work after the battery pull.

God you are a life saver, I've been trying to get my uncle hooked up with a phone with a unlocked bootloader for awhile,

now he can use his current phone for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jellyhead:
Does this work for v4.4.4 and 5.0?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BackCheck:
Any idea how long it takes on the first reboot? I assume it formats the SD card and that takes some time and I only have a 64gb card so I'm guessing I'll be looking at the Verizon logo a while.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gl17ch:
Do the commands HAVE to be entered via adb? If I downloaded the zip to my phone, could I enter the commands through a terminal editor possibly?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
Yes.

Try removing your SDCARD, boot up, and put it back in before you do it the second time.

You should do it with adb instead of terminal emulator. You could do it with terminal emulator, but I don't recommend it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tomixnscale89:
I'm confused. It asked me to run the binary again to finish the process, but when i did that, it tried to change the CID again. Am i doing something wrong? The CID has changed to the one it displays on cmd.

It works, I have TWRP installed. I'll be divvying out donations come payday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dreyeth:
Where did you get your TWRP build from?

The Note 3 Verizon hasn't had a unlocked bootloader until now, so I can't imagine there was a TWRP build ready for it.

Was there something close enough to be compatible, like a TWRP build for the developer edition?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BackCheck:
Flashify. It didn't look like they had much trouble getting it ported quickly for us. Now to get CM13 going but that'll be a little longer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dreyeth:
Sweet so that app auto flashes the recovery of your choice? and they have a TWRP port already for this?

I've always done it the manual way. :)

You still can download it manually. Read the notes and it shows the verizon note 3 supported.

I tried this, and no change to my CID... It's still starts with 15...... I'm expecting it to start with 11 when it works.... Any ideas? I'm using an 8GB sd card, and the card was erased as expected....

My output was:

<begin output>

Do you understand the implications of these warnings?

(Yes/No)

Y

Type "Yes" or "No"

(Yes/No)

yes

[+] dev CID matching, proceding to unlock

[+] backing up loaders, this will take a few minutes

[+] loaders successfully backed up

[+] success! powering off device, hopefully its not bricked!

<end output>

I obfuscated the actual CID in the above output message. Is there any way to verify that this worked before I flash TWRP and possibly brick my device?

EDIT: Nevermind, I booted into download mode and found out that my device is seen as a "developer device". Anybody flash TWRP and CM13 yet?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Nothing you can do because your emmc chip is made by Toshiba not Samsung. Therfore it's not vulnerable to the unlock (at least it's not thought to be vulnerable not sure if it's being worked on).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
I've got 4.4.2 Your unlock code fails with the "only works on (some) Samsung..." on my Note 3 (SM-N900V).

I looked at your code on github and see that fail is invoked by a fail of the strstr () from /proc/cmdline where it looks for the string "amsung" yet a cat of /proc/cmdline clearly includes two instances of the word "samsung". (Your nearly useless compat check)

Yes..my CID does start with '15'

So...playing around...I copied and modified your code a bit...to force a return of 1 from the compat check function and to modify the define of CID1 location to where CID is located on a 4.4.2 ROM (....mmc1/mmc1:0001/cid)

Anyway...after running my modifed version...it does in fact...change the CID to the appropriate dev_cid and shut phone down. I reboot and rerun my modified version...it says yup...got the dev_cid and does its backup of loaders...announces success and shuts phone down.

But bootloader remains locked. Whether I pull battery and then power on or just power on. Several tries.

Any idea what's up with the /proc/cmdline fail and why after I modify where CID is located...it changes CID but won't do its magic to aboot even though it says it does?

Added in edit:

Oh yea...why does my Note 3 have 2 different cid's? I am GUESSING because it has 2 different eMMC chips...but don't know enough about the hardware.

One starts with 15, the other with 03

I am in the same boat as you. I modified the source, compiled the binary and it still crashed at "go back to google". Same as the original binary.

I am going to have to dig a little deeper in the source.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
I just told the nearly_useless_compat_check () to return 1

And changed the define of CID1 to be:

#define CID1 "/sys/devices/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/cid"

No other changes...it ran 1st time and did infact change cid to the new value

Ran 2nd time...it said the new cid is the dev cid and supposedly "fixed" aboot and backed up the loaders to the extSD card.

Shut down...but pulling battery and restarting didn't unlock aboot.

Ran a 2nd run ...same..said it fixed aboot but it was still locked.

Just to put things back...I created a new version that put my original cid back...that worked fine too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] openbottle:
I am getting same result as you. CID and Aboot signature changed, but no developer mode. Maybe it just doesn't work with 4.4.2.

[MENTION=7415536]openbottle[/MENTION] [MENTION=1923941]donc113[/MENTION]

do a hexdump of [MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION] 's binary (*or better yet an objdump -j .text) and you will see that the replacement dev_cid and dev_sig are not the same values as in [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] github code. I suppose that the valid dev CID values for a particular phone type are not shared between models, and beaups' code was for a different Galaxy model.

That's my uneducated guess anyway. Otherwise ryanbg would have had little reason to recompile.

*mo betta if it is compiled with arm support, but I just used a crappy cygwin x86 version.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

ps you could always (binary) edit ryanbg's binary.

/proc/cmdline => /proc/zzzline (note same string length, so all offsets remain the same)

then put your own "zzzline" in /proc & add some of your own symlinks in /sys to point at the correct CID file.

A bit tedious as it needs to be done twice (once per boot).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
I have viewed the binary via a simple text viewer....but never thought to compare to beaups values. That'd sure make a difference if they were off. I should have a binary editor...I can change the mmc0 and mmc0:001 to mmc1 and mmc1:001 in the binary. Same with the cmd to xxx and drop a text file into /proc.

Great ideas...let me try a few things.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] openbottle:
You are correct. I've compared my binary with Ryan's binary in hex editor and the CID and Aboot are different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Sorry, I shouldn't try to recall command lines from memory any more.

Up there ^^^^ I should have said

objdump -j .data -s samsung_unlock_n3

if you want to see ryanbg's values to build your own code.

Using an arm-aware version of objdump isn't necessary just to get those two blobs, but disassembly would be helpful to see if any immediate values (e.g. args to subroutines) changed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] beaups:
I had a uaf in the compatibility check code and pushed a fix a couple days ago.

Let's see if I can do this.....

First....get jrkruse's manual unlocker from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66402021

Do NOT move the unlock binary from his download...

Do NOT run the app yet. I will try to figure out how to attach my binary to a msg here.

Once I do that....my binary is also called unlock...follow his instructions with my binary the run his app.

My binary is for 4.4.2 on up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Here's the binary

This requires an SD card in the external SD slot and it WILL OVERWRITE THE SD CARD! Use SPARE card 4 GB cards work fine.

I have added the source code for the binary to the .zip at the suggestion of [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
NOW UPDATED...should work on both old 4.4.2 devices and 4.4.4 and higher

This is for 4.4.2 on up.

I am NOT responsible if something goes wrong! YOU are 100% responsible if something goes wrong! It worked for me, no guarantees for you.

This is not my code...but modified beaups code ryanbg got the needed dev cid and aboot signature. jrkruse wrote the manual install app

Thank them..not me

You must have root. This file must be copied into /system/bin for the manual unlock app to work.

You must run the manual unlocker app twice....first sets the cid...2nd run fixes aboot.

When you boot you will see CUSTOM unlock icon if you install a new recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMagus:
So first try went better than it had been, before it kept repeating "Y", this is where I assume it was failing last time

Followed the steps from page 8, set permission ran the first time and it did its thing and shut off. Pulled battery and rebooted, 2nd time it was a blank screen. Waited and eventually it did its Backing up Loaders and looks like it was successful. Amazing work!

I assume just use flashify to install TWRP after uninstalling safestrap.
