[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CCallahan:
The company I work for uses Verizon and they just issued me a Droid Turbo. Seems like a pretty nice phone but can be better.

I do not have authorization to root it so probing to see if there are any cool mods that work without requiring root. Our plan already includes Mobile Hotspot so don't need to worry about that.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
Not really, no... Motorola gives a pretty decent stock ROM. About the only recommendation I'd have is nova launcher.

Does work honestly care?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
They do, because root access would allow someone to compromise the security and monitoring software that companies often put on phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
I realize some companies do. But often? I think that might be a stretch.

I asked my company if I could buy my own phone. They said sure... So I figure if I ever break it, I'll throw my sim in my razrm while I buy a new turbo to replace it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
If you're working for a smaller business you might be able to get away with it, but from what I understand, anti-rooting/jailbreaking clauses are pretty much industry standard. I was considering getting on my company's BYOD program, but I immediately reconsidered after I read that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
My company requires insurance and data encryption to access the Exchange servers. They take security very seriously. There are probably clauses against rooting (and implicitly unlocked bootloaders) for good reasons. Imagine what a thief could access if you kept confidential documents on your phone if all they knew your bootloader was unlocked...even if you thought you took all the necessary security steps in your existing setup.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syringe:
Hello.

I have problem with new (6 day) S6. Today my Wifi has disconnected, and then I can't toggle It on again. When I press Wifi on, It not search for new networks, and turn off in one minute.

I done factory reset, and instal stock firmware.

I also do *#2663# and press "Refresh WiFi Version". Nothing changed. Please help. It's stock 6.0.1 with no root.

*******************************

Last Update: 25. 5. 2016 * there was a typo in a command :/

*******************************

Hello everyone!

Are you lacking Y OTG cable, but still want to boot other OSes?

Do you want to choose which OS to use on the go?

Then continue reading.

\......../

....\/.... This is just for me176c/x. It might work on other tablets,

....O.... but I'm not responsible for you trying it.

What works:

touchscreen

WiFi

[*]Internal memory

more

And what does not:

sound

Bluetooth

GPS

sensors

charging (not sure if it works, but it doesn't display :/ )

backlight controll

YOU tell me

Prerequisities:

the tablet with UEFI (android 5.0+ on this device)

microsd card (faster is better) with Ext4 filesystem (can still be mounted manualy in Android)

(optional) Y OTG cable for peripherals

internet connection to download 900MB archive

keyboard now included

(optional) a boot selector to choose system at boot (twrp can be used to boot Lubuntu otherwise)

Step 1.

download ****UPDATED ARCHIVE (onscreeen keyboard, should be extract-able) ***** http://www.mediafire.com/download/nse5sju1n31zr56/microsd.tar.gz

unpack it in the root of your microsd

Step 2.

[IMG="android terminal emulator + busybox"]http://i.imgur.com/E9JtbLm.png[/IMG]

download grub+cfg+kernel+initramfs archive

[*]add mmc_block.perdev_minors=20 to cmdline in grub.cfg make internal memory work

using root browser, move the Lubuntu folder (with kernel etc. within) to the root of data partition (/data)

mount ESP partition on /sdcard/ESP (data/ESP if you want)

create a folder called ubuntu and move grub AND grub.cfg inside

move the ubuntu folder to /EFI/ folder in ESP (sdcard/ESP/EFI or data/ESP/EFI) (alongside Intel and BOOT folders)

umount ESP

[IMG="copy ubuntu folder into ESP"]http://i.imgur.com/8ZXqRlM.png[/IMG]

Step 3.

download efibootmgr: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62429430&postcount=2740

from a folder with efibootmgr (move it to system so you can add execute permission) run this:

!!!!!!!!There was a typo in command below. The /p was supposed to be -p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

./efibootmgr64 -c -d /dev/block/mmcblk0 -p 3 -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L ubuntu

then look if it worked:

./efibootmgr64 -v

now, if you completed my previous tutorial, this option will be 0x003, otherwise 0x0000.

now, use

./efibootmgr64 -o 0001,0000

if you only have these two options or

./efibootmgr64 -o 0001,0000,0003

if you already have refind as 0x0000

Press the start button!

Now, to try it, use

./efibootmgr64 -n 0000

to set it just for next power up and press power off, then power the tablet on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start from TWRP

If everything works well, use

./efibootmgr64 -n 0000

from TWRP terminal, then power off and power on, everytime you want to start Lubuntu without starting android first :)

If you try it, make sure to post if it worked ;) And if it did not, then post what happened and I will try to help you.

If you want to PM me about this, rather make a post here. I will probably reply soon (or someone else may help you :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Downloading files, gonna try this now, thanks for the tutorial, and in the future will there be more OS'es?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I'll see if people like this :)

Is there some OS you would like to see and why?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
winxp, maybe, and also i made a step wrong and it only boots to grub... i have a powered hub, how to fix?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Cannot you just redo the step?

Of course it's important what did you do wrong?

I am pretty sure WinXP - although I already thought of that - cannot be booted in EFI mode. And also even Lubuntu is lagging a bit becouse the sdcard is not fast enough. Puppy linux would be way better also for healthiness, but multiple things didn't work. I think I could boot Lubuntu from iso, but then it wouldn't be permanent :/

Also onboard keyboard works well, but I don't want to upload the rootfs again, hopefully it can be installed without keyboard.

P.S I'm gonna make some pictures of it so everybody can see :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i set grub to boot first and i havent setup ubuntu well so it keeps booting to grub and tries to boot to ubuntu but it cant, is there a command in grub to remake boot entrys?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Although it would be a nice adventure, I refuse to tortue you.

Just spam F2 when you power the tablet on, if you press it while in Aptio Setup Utility just select NO, And in Aptio Setup Utility you will quickly find out what to do.

P:S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you didn't have an Y OTG cable you would be screwed hard..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
xD glad i had one, fixed, ill remake the steps, but they are a bit confusing on step2, and thanks
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
You can actually make the esp folder on /data/ESP , too. I will edit it :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
you made some steps weird because they look like some of them are in the images and some on the page, its confusing, i could get to grub and it said Lubuntu in boot order but it starts loading and goes to black screen whats missing?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
You have to power off then power on, not reboot. It's that simple, actually :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
I know that... My only problem is where do i put the ubuntu OS, and if i need to extract..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
You extract it in the root of MicroSD.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Some pictures of it working:

The screen is actually nice-looking, the stripes are from camera (slow shutter?)

[IMG="Lubuntu"]http://i.imgur.com/SmiwehD.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="failsafe photo"]http://i.imgur.com/yrgIl7T.jpg[/IMG]
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i have a problem, each time i try extracting rootfs it gets stuck at gdebi.png (21%)...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
As for an OS, I'd like to see Arch. I want to choose what's on my distribution, instead of going for Lubuntu, so I can make it as light weight as possible. I'm thinking a lightweight window manager like i3wm would do a lot of good.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
You can get it on flash disk and try it :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Are you extracting using tar utility on linux?

Does it say anything specific about the problem?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Ive tried extracting on the tablet, using root browser and ZArchiver they both get stuck at same file
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I'm pretty mad at zArchiver for cutting of the top of every file extracted from iso.. Try using tar in terminal on tablet and see what it does. If you have an Y otg cable you can also do install it from a usb stick, abd then try if your rootfs unpacks well and eventually upload it. This tutorial was meant to be useful for people withrout y otg, too, but if you have one it's not that hard to install it yourself.

Press f2 while booting, choose flash drive , select install, custom mode, just select sdcard as rootfs (no data partition doesn't work) and install. Then grep dmesg for a missing txt file for wifi and use /system/etc/nvram.txt in it's place. Be aware it might rewrite your grub.cfg
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
about the file to extract, i tried doing it on terminal emulator, same error

ill leave attachment of the error.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
That seems like it's corrupted :/

Unfortunately I don't have a local copy, I used tmpfs to speed it up :/

Will you try the flash disk method, or should I try to make another copy?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
I dont have a good pen drive here yet, can u make a copy if thats alright? Thanks
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
BIG news!!

It seems that if we rebuild the mmc module we can get all 16 partitions recognised!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
So, does that mean that we will be able to install secondary OS to the MMC instead of micro SD?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Basicaly, yes :)

I have found out, there is a kernel cmdline argument to overwrite it, but it doesn't work :/

It's supposed to be mmcblk.perdev_minors=17 - but it does nothing :/

Does anyone know why it refuses to work?

I don't want to recompile whole kernel just to turn signature verification off or use my own signing key :/

Of course as a last chance I might have to :/

Please share your suggestions :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
UPDATE: We ARE able to install to internal memory, right now.

Just use mmc_block.perdev_minors=20 as kernel parameter, and whole internval memory is available. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
UPDATED with new link (sorry for long wait :/)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
how to use that command? sry for noob question
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
You edit grub.cfg and at the line behind kernel filename, there are some commands. Simply put space after the last one and add this ;)

Does it mean that this rootfs works?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
What filesystem are you using on your microsd card?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Ext4
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
That may be a good thing to note in the prerequisites.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I wasn't sure if it's neccesary or not, but it could be when I think about it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bryandroid98:
I don't understand the steps, I'm confused.

you put in the Terminal /sdcard but should be /Removable/MicroSD or not???

and the filesystem I'm using on my microsd card is NTFS.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
The /sdcard is whre I mounted ESP. You can mount it anywhere but I had to choose something so I could write the steps.

Edit: I'll add the ext4 filesystem, it seems it's better.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
This is my experience so far:

1. I couldn't get the tutorial to work using the rootfs archives provided (Either one).

1a. On initial boot, the system would reboot back to android (indicating a failed boot on the newly created UEFI entry, and defaulting back to the first UEFI entry.)

1b. Checking back with efibootmgr64 after this happened, there is a newly created (third) entry, on HDxx, also labeled ubuntu.

1c. Booting manually into this entry, I now get the grub prompt, Lubuntu tries to boot, but black screens, so I add nomodeset to the kernel parameters, try again, and the ensuing kernel messages I think are indicating it is looking for the uuid of your microsd card, not mine, and leaves me in emergency mode.

2. Your tutorial steps allowed me to do a clean install of Lubuntu to my microSD card using a hub, making the microsd the root filesystem, adding the bootloader to a random, dummy usb flash drive, and configuring efibootmgr64 for Lubuntu as before.

2a. Once again, a third UEFI entry is created after a failed bot to the UEFI entry created in the tutorial, labeled 'ubuntu' and I must boot from that entry to start Lubuntu.

2b. Now I can boot to Lubuntu on the microSD without a hub, and I just need to get wifi working using the nvram text file.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
That's weird.

1a. The grub boot entry already worked for someone else, so please make sure you did everything right, then you can send me a dd of your ESP partition.

1b. That is weird, can you send what efibootmgr64 -v says?

1c. It should not be looking for any uuid. Unless usb device is connected, my grub menuentry should always behave the same.

The black screens seem to happen randomly to me (without nomodeset)

The initramfs looks for mmcblk1p1, which is first partition on microsd.

Similar thing happened when I accidentaly ran it without microsd inserted, but I suppose that's not the case.

Can you see what is different between your clean instalation and my rootfs? That might indicate where the problem is.

Also a photo of that error messages would be helpful.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
Yeah, there must be some differences between our tablets that is causing the steps to not work. I am at .17, rooted, no twrp or refind installed. Shortly after I typed that post I did a shutdown from Lubuntu, and afterwards my ESP partition must have gotten corrupted or overwritten because I could only boot to the UEFI aptio setup utility, and had to dd a stock ESP image back onto the internal mmc. Will try to get screenshots from every step of my process when I try again.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Yes that did not happen to me. After shutdown from anything else than android or twrp (even android boot animation) I have to press power nutton again and it blinks, or stays on and I have to disconnect bartery for some time. Someone other also reported this behaviour. But I never had problems with ESP partition, nor boot options appearing after reboot. Definitely try efibootmgr64 -v , that might show the unknown difference netween working and not working boot option. Of course glad you could install it anyway :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
Here the first screenshot is the intial config. I then powered off and powered on. It immediately rebooted to android, and the second screenshot is post-reboot.

Then, booting boot entry 0002 are the last two screenshots.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pouique:
Hi,

i had the same problem as you.

but somethings i don't understand is where grub find the file "vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic.efi.signed" and "initrd.img-4.4.0-21-generic"

because when i follow your step i see 3 possibilities

in /data/Lubuntu

in the EFI/ubuntu (i don't think so)

in root of sdcard ?

thanks

edit : i find the answer

is in /data/Lubuntu
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
FYI if anyone is installing Lubuntu via a hub and usb drive as a workaround, start Ubiquity setup with the '-b' option to skip installing a boot manager. This prevented my ESP partition from being messed with (at least I think that's what messed it up when I tried earlier).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
So, for the first one it's actually my mistake, the /p is supposed to be -p option :/ I think I accidentally pressed the key which would be ' - ' on Czech keyboard layout, but had and English one.

For the RootFS failure, it has already found the RootFS, as this is not initramfs shell. It is weird but I would recommend running some diff to fin out what is different between your manual install and my RootFS.

P.S it says press Ctrl+D to continue. What happens if you do so?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Actually grub doesn't see microsd. The /boot folder was still generated becouse Lubuntu doesn't know it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
Just the emergency mode command prompt.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Were you able to run the adviced commands?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
No, I didn't delve any deeper into emergency mode, since I was able to do a clean install on my own. Now I have an issue where I can't modify or create any boot entries with efibootmgr64, and I have a ubuntu entry in Aptio that won't go away, so I'm going to try reflashing the full .17 rom to see if that will reset UEFI/Aptio.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
you may try to disconnect battery for about 30 minutes and see if it helps. Reflashing rom won't help in my opinion. Does efibootmgr work in Lubuntu?

It's in path, just type 'efibootmgr' in terminal.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
Ok, letting the tablet sit for half an hour with the battery disconnected. Efibootmgr in Lubuntu behaves the same as is does in android. No named boot entries, no ability to add a boot entry, just a display of the current boot and a listing of the boot order 000x entries. Which is a shame, because the tablet boots android just fine, and will boot from external usb drives fine if I intervene in Aptio, but I don't have the ability to switch the boot order from within Android anymore.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
OK, spam f2 to get into Aptio setup utility, look at boot entries and see if they look the same as in efibootmgr. You can try some 'return to defaults' option and see if it helps.

Also have you tried to search for solution? Maybe someone already had similar issue with another device? UEFI is used in every computer, only old ones still have BIOS, so the chance may be high :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sizzlinbeef:
Well, that battery unplug seems to have killed the battery, can't get any response from the tab now. Tried trickle charge, jump starting with 5v and ground wires, etc. Oh well, it was a good 2 years.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
For me, it seemed like that, but if I unplugged for a longer time, and then was trying to power it up multiple times, it got on. Or did the battery just die while it was connected? Or if you left the battery at a low percentage and didn't charge for some time? However trickle charging might help there.

Are you sure it was the battery? Did you have any other problems other than bootmanager not working? Haven't you dropt the tablet accidentaly?
