The original file was setup to root base OGG not pb2. Now as for your code error I don't know if it matters or not but I have issues with the computer that I did not install android sdk on but my adb was also outdated......just some thoughts as no one has seen that issue yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Prfndhatrdofman:
Yeah I've tried a handful of ADB versions at this point. They've all given different results. I also installed ADB on Linux and it gave me a totally different error. I have a feeling its because the first time I tried it my old HTC app was killing and restarting ADB over and over again during the Root. So its just never worked right haha.

I did go through and try to remove some of the pushed files from the data part using adb Shell, thinking maybe something was corrupt in there..but no changes. I might just have to factory reset and try again but ive been avoiding that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
well. im no longer a developer, i take failing a root pretty hard. so, idk man. resets suck but bricks suck more. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Prfndhatrdofman:
Well i have another Note 5 here with PB2, had the same error. It's gotta be Windows 10 or something. Or possibly the driver im using? I dunno. I give up XD:good:

Since rooting is exploiting security flaws. What about creating a app that can manipulate and pretend to be knox as it deletes it and replaces it with a knox with r-w-e root permissions.

Hey guys thats a idea right there now. Rework towelroots kernel so that it looks as a ordinary apk install and make another apk that when installed it could turn towelroot hostile. Instead of the user or / doing the flash and recovery process. Let the apk do its work inside the system without knox picking up user activity.

If I might ask, what is the best way to defend against the vulnerabilities that rooting produces?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
Not to root at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] gg83744:
I got that error as well when using the "new" kernel. I then rebooted and tried again and it worked, yet I was stuck in a bootloop. So I flashed the system image again and reflashed the old kernel. The root worked perfectly with the old kernel as did root boot. So at least for me, the new kernel doesn't work at all and I'll be staying away from it. I still have lag and battery loss, so I'm trying to figure that one out now.

Also I have seen mention of using Xposed with this tethered root. How is that possible? The only method I can find for installing Xposed involves a custom recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] 2Tone23:
Good Answer. ?... I've researched much and took the precautions I could, just wanted to know what I might have overlooked. I've a pretty good grasp of the downsides of rooting. But... Hard to live without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] [)roid90:
Battery issues about the only solution would be to find a battery optimizer apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] radoo7701:
You can use Flashfire or Flashify to install Xposed. You'll just have to use the boot script when it reboots. You can then use Hotboot when activating modules. Good luck!

Make sure you use the right version. ☺

New case for the Kaiser
[Java for Android App Development] whitedavidp:
I hope I am getting this is the right place. If not, please respond with a suggestion of where to place it. Thanks!

First some background. I have written a root app that, to accomplish its work, must chmod some files located under /data/data. This app works as expected on my 3 test devices - all JB or KK and has been published to Play Store where comments from users indicate that it works on other devices including those with Android 5 and 6.

The other day, a user contacts me and says the app doesn't work on his device. Here is some of the device info my app captures:

Linux Version: 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a

Android SDK Version: 22

Maker: motorola

Brand: motorola

Product: quark_verizon

Device: quark

Model: XT1254​

My app confirms that the device is indeed rooted and that there is a recent SuperSu app installed. My app is able to chmod directories and some other files. But it cannot manage certain others. I get a result code of 10 but am not sure what exactly that means except some form of failure.

I should add that trying to change the permissions on the file using Root explorer also seems to fail (silently) since right after doing so, the user ran my app and its log shows the file's permissions unchanged.

I wondered if it was an SeLinux issue - something about the files' contexts - but having my app perform ls -Z shows that the contexts (other than the user id - as expected) are identical to those on my 3 devices. Plus there are no context violation warnings in dmesg as I understand there should be were SeLinux the issue.

I have read about extended file attributes and there is one for marking a file immutable. I don't know if this would case a chmod to fail but maybe. I doubt this is the case with these files since I know they are being changed by the file's owning app. But there is no way to confirm this unless the user installs busybox which contains the lsattr command. And he isn't keen on doing that.

Can anyone suggest what might be causing this problem and why it might be restricted to this particular device? I am just completely stumped.

Thanks

Is there any way to change the default HDMI settings in the S2? I have two 40" monitors and they each react differently when I try to connect the S2.

Chromecast

What with the problems I'm having with my HDMI connections, I broke down and bought a Chromecast device. The Screen Cast option works on both my 710 and 810, but they both have the same poor quality as the HDMI connection. It has good quality when casting from apps such as Hulu and Netflix, but the screen mirroring with Screen Cast is lousy.

I have two under $80 devices that both display full screen and with much better picture quality than these two highend S2 devices. Samsung has really dropped the ball with this issue. There should be a way to change the display settings to fix this, but I can't find any.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I'm confused are you talking about gaming or watching movies?

Chromecast should mirror your device at 1080p as far as I'm aware.

There is an app called Second screen that allows you to change the resolution when casting to chromecast or other devices, however it requires root.

I was just wonderin i got a fastboot cable comin in in a week for my kindle hdx. To twrp and root it. Just wonderin if anybodies tried one on the g4 yet
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OllieD:
Android does not require a special cable to enter fastboot.

I've personally never heard of anything called a fastboot cable, a quick google search shows a kindle factory cable... obviously amazon have done something to prevent fastboot over a standard microusb.

Fastboot on G4 is easy to access by enabling OEM Unlock in the developer options and then rebooting into the bootloader. Doing anthing with fastboot however depends on the unlock status of your bootloader. A Locked bootloader will simply reject any useful fastboot commands.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontpannic:
There's a particular dongle that you plug in to the MicroUSB socket and when you turn on the phone it's supposed to boot straight into fastboot mode.

Not sure whether these boot the G4 into Fastboot mode - being able to boot straight into fastboot without having an OS installed would be a real boon.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OllieD:
Does the device not already boot straight to the bootloader when there is no OS installed. i would have thought the boot process would get stuck in the bootloader with no OS.
