[SuperSU] RK_D2502:
Hello fellow SuperSU users. HAve no regrets switching to SUPERSU. Should've used this a long time ago. Anyway, I have 1 issue. Just to give you an overview, I used Kingroot to root my humble Sony Experia D2502 C3 Dual so I can disable bloatwares and without having to unlock the bootloader. Kingroot didn'\t want to be unistalled using it's own interface. Left me no choice but to use the Terminal Emulator apk. I have XZDual recovery installed and SUPERSU 2.65. While fiddling around with my phone's settings, I came across Process Stats in developers, lo and behold, I saw Kingroot still running. I tried Avast, Malware bytes, CM, CCleaner, process killers, none can detect com.kingroot.kinguser:service.

How can I go about the situation at hand? I'd really like to get rid of this leech. Can anyone direct me where I can this in the directory? I root explorer. Please see attached photos for reference. Requesting your proficiency with regards to the problem at hand. Thank you.

Hi

I am using Moto E -X1022 (2014) mobile with CM13 installed on it. I am trying to record my phone calls on the mobile but the volume of sound coming of the other party is toooooo low.

Is there any good working apk or method to increase the sound of the other party to record the calls properly.

Earlier when I was using stock ROM, recording was properly done in most of the applications but now after I installed CM13 or other ROMs other than stock ROM, this problem occurred.

Yeah I'm looking for this too.

btw which stock rom were you on when recording was fine, KitKat or Lollipop?

and which app were you using on cm13?

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samt434:
Hi everynone,

I was building a kernel for the pixel c. I could build it, now the only problem i have is i can't unpack / repack boot.img of the pixel c (i would like to unpack it in order to extract the ramdisk ans generate the boot.img).

How do you generate boot.img after you have the compiled kernel image on a pixel c ?

These informations are very important to understand and mod Pixel C.

I will be very interested too to have some info about how to unpack/repack boot.img for pixel c (as it's a chromeos boot image)

Thanks a lot in advance,

Mathieu
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samt434:
Ok so after some analysis, here is what i understood :

boot.img contains in itself an android boot.img at the adress 0x1000.

So to extract the android boot.img image, we can use dd :

dd if=chromeosBoot.img of=androidBoot.img skip=8192 bs=8

This will extract the androidBoot.img. Then we will be able to use split_bootimg.pl to extract the kernel and the ramdisk (compressed in gz).

Now my questions : from 0x0 to 0x1000 in chromos boot img, there is some data i still don't understand clearly.

I would like to try to replace the kernel and the ramdisk, and then repack all keeping the same data from 0x0 to 0x1000.

Do you think it's gonna work ?

What are the risks to do so (i don't want to brick too much my tablet...)

Thanks a lot for your help,

Hope my researches will be helpful for other developers.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followmsi:
Thanks for the unpacking help .. works quick and good.

It´s actually the same like ..

dd if=boot.img of=unpacked.img ibs=65536 skip=1

Have the same problem, as I want to repack Pixel C boot.img ..etc.

For the repacking part I was searching heavily .. like you.

boot-split.pl or mkbootimg is done ... only the signing part is missing ?!?

Here is a part of the solution : ( working on ubuntu 14.04 )

apt-get install vboot-kernel-utils

vbutil_kernel --repack boot.img --oldblob xceed-kernel-google-dragon-v6.10-RELEASE-mxc14g.img --signprivate /usr/share/vboot/devkeys/kernel_data_key.vbprivk

the output ...

Key block:
Size: 0x4b8
Flags: 7 !DEV DEV !REC
Data key algorithm: 4 RSA2048 SHA256
Data key version: 1
Data key sha1sum: d6170aa480136f1f29cf339a5ab1b960585fa444
Preamble:
Size: 0xfb48
Header version: 2.2
Kernel version: 1
Body load address: 0x100000
Body size: 0x57d000
Bootloader address: 0x67c000
Bootloader size: 0x1000
Body verification succeeded.

Just took the xceed kernel as example .. works with all other "CHROMEOS" images too.

But to sign a changed kernel it seems you need more/other parameter.

Still searching ...

Time to boot soon ;)

Cheers
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samt434:
More infos !

Here is where my researches are :

You need to get and compile vboot_reference in order to have the lastest version :

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/vboot_reference

after this :

futility vbutil_keyblock --pack boot.img.keyblock --datapubkey kernel_data_key.vbpubk --signprivate kernel_data_key.vbprivk

and next :

echo " " > empty.txt

futility vbutil_kernel --pack boot.img --keyblock boot.img.keyblock --signprivate kernel_data_key.vbprivk --version 1 --vmlinuz boot.img.unsigned --config empty.txt --arch arm --bootloader empty.txt --flags 0x1

And now it seems we have a valid boot.img image !

Thanks a lot for your researches followmsi, i was blocked due to the fact i couldn't generate a signing key, but it seems that the keys are public finally (in tests/devkeys/ of vboot_reference project) !!

Next step for me :

fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samt434:
I could unpack/repack the stock kernel with this :

From the boot.img :

This gives you the Android boot.img

then, we can use

in order to extract the kernel.img and the ramdisk.gz.

To repack :

We flash the new kernel :

fastboot flash boot boot.img : the kernel repacked is booting correctly !! :D

How to build pixel c kernel

Hi Samt434,

I have downloaded pixel c kernel code from chrome os git.

But I don't know which build config should I use or set.

When build other nexus device, from example, Nexus 9, I use:

make tegra_defconfig

make -j4

But what I should to do this for pixel c kernel code?

Thanks very much!

It works. Thank you very much. Recovery log attached.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcadduono:
Thanks a lot! This is great news :) It also means Pixel C custom kernel dev can take advantage of https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher now if they like!

It allows you to simply git clone, put an Image.gz-dtb in the folder, and type 'make' and you've got a TWRP flashable kernel!

If you guys want a simpler way to extract the boot images, you can use https://github.com/jcadduono/android_external_libbootimg

"make" will produce bootimg.exe for windows, bootimg for linux & mac. you can use "make bootimg" for just linux/mac.

Unfortunately it can only unpack ChromeOS images (bootimg xv boot.img) and not modify or create them. It will strip the ChromeOS signature and header if you do use the create/update functions of it, but you can just use futility vbutil_kernel to sign it again. :)

While it would certainly be nice to add the option to pack/modify ChromeOS images without needing futility, the feature alone would make my project increase in size tenfold. :(

Prebuilt binaries are here: https://build.nethunter.com/possibly-the-coolest-things/bootimg/

Where can I find the futility vbutil_kernel? I'd still like to be able to manually modify fstab.dragon myself.

Thanks for all of this. Much appreciated.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcadduono:
It depends on Android libc and libcrypto inside Android build environment so it's not exactly portable but might be possible to force it static and include libc. I tried to do that myself but libcrypto doesn't seem to want to build staticly.

I'd suggest doing a shallow depth repo init of Omni 6.0 TWRP manifest if you want a smallish Android build tree to work with, allowing you to build the tool.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
:eek:

I didn't understand a word you said.... You might as well have been speaking Greek! ;)

I did get the part about it not being portable though. Obviously, I'm not a developer.

I'll just stick with your TWRP flashable zip!

Thanks for the feedback, though. I do appreciate it.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcadduono:
Another option as well is to flash your modified normal android boot image to your device.

Download no-verity-opt-encrypt zip 5.1+ and add a file in the patch.d folder of the zip, this should be the file's contents:

#!/sbin/sh
. "$env"
> "$split_img/boot.img-chromeos"
exit 0

(you can remove the verity/opt encrypt scripts from patch.d if you want to as well)

This will convince the zip to sign it for ChromeOS before flashing it back to the device ;)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] SamuelBegui:
I've had my Galaxy Note 4 for a while now and I'm starting to look at a few of the new flagships for 2016. The Google Nexus 6P looks very promising to have and looks like a great device overall. There's also the HTC 10 which will be released soon which also looks promising and will get plenty of development I assume.

Would anyone care to share your story? Should I purchase a Google Nexus 6P or wait for this years line up?

If you want to convince me to stay on the Note 4 I encourage you.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] r3xx3r:
I am personally not leaving my Note 4 until it dies, or if the Note 6 brings back all the features I love that the Note5 **** on. I actually upgraded to the Note 5 and after 2 months decided it was not usable for me so I got a Note 4.

I personally can't live without 4 things the Note 4 has the Note 5 doesn't:

removable battery (Every phone I have owned in the past few years has been run with the ZeroLemon extended battery and rugged case)

MicroSD card slot (makes switching ROMs so much easier, I am a flashaholic)

IR Blaster (this one isn't as big as the other 2, but is still sooo nice to have and I see no reason any phone shouldn't have it)

Custom ROMs (The Note 5 being an Exynox only phone has not gotten any custom AOSP based ROMs yet, only stock based ROMs. Now, some of those ROMs are awesome, and even on my Note 4 I only run stock based ROMs because the AOSP ROMs don't work well enough with the SPen, but it is really nice to have the choice)

I would not buy the Nexus 6P, overall it looks like a good phone, but I am not the most gentle person with my phones, haven't broken one in a few years but I tend to drop them quite a bit and the 6P has some serious structural issues. Look up Jerryrigeverything's stress test video of the 6P on youtube. Huge disappointment for a Nexus device, and at that price.

I am confident the Note 6 will be too similar to the S7, no removable battery, possibly no IR blaster, it will probably have a similar style MicroSD card slot, but if it sucks like the S7 does, especially with the same style locked bootloader I will not be upgrading. The Note 4 is still an awesome phone, and we should be getting official MM within the next few weeks.

solid

- the N4 is one device that I plan to keep rather than sell) phone. The 6P looks nice, but I'd be unwilling to sacrifice expandable storage... I'm hopeful that Google will allow(?) an SD slot in these upcoming devices due to N's new storage scheme.

Good luck whatever you decide!

The Moto X Pure/Style is a 5.7" slim phone, same size as the Note 3 and Note 4.

Screen is as bright as the Note 4 in sunlight.

The bootloader is unlocked easily through Motorola and CM/AOSP ROM's are in abundance.

Phone works and is supported on all major carriers, including Verizon LTE.

Other than the Nexus 6P, it's really the only newer/good phone out that is 5.5" or larger screen size and has active development and works on ALL carriers.

I came from Note 3 and Note 4 and am happy with the phone.

Performance is about the same as Note 4 though.

I've had (since Jan) LG G4, Nexus 6p, OnePlusOne, and my Note 4. All other ones didn't come close to the Note.

The G4 was great, but locked bootloader and lack of a fingerprint scanner was blah.

[MENTION=6364963]MisterCoolBeans[/MENTION]

Broad question but an interesting topic. Generally electronics and any other trades, there are years/releases/versions that hold value compared to years/releases/versions that are released as an illusion of an upgrade. Generally best value for the buck is to wait. Since from 1+ years you'll pay from 1/4 less to a fraction of retail. If your company pays for it it's another story. Look at any product/trade sold. New isn't always better, sometimes not just worse but actually costing you more than what use you get out of it. Advertisement/lies work thus advancement for centuries. If you are tempted by supposed improvement I say snap out of it & wait, rely on history. If you need a kick to approve your desire that might be foolish, go and have fun with her, since you won't keep in mind that not only will she bite u in the aa but might also shorten your human lifespan. All up to personal preference:angel:

Current(historical) example. I had s4 before n4. General consensus s5 & n5 is a downgrade. Again look at any other product you've acquired in the past(phones, cars, clothes, hardware, software, utilities, services, relationships, etc). There is a heart beat in your heart and scammers have the same rhythm. That is for centuries if you look at any available history.

Lastly is the reason. Why? To be more efficient and productive? Or to up your neighbor that you have the latest?

Can't control your mind's decision, have a coin choose a path for you:) easy, just flip it

My original note 4 had water damage and considered jumping to s7 edge. Note 5 was out of the question. But I wasn't sure I could live without removable battery, SD card slot for my 200gb card, stylus, and lastly give up my IR which I use as my universal remote around the house.
