[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Here simple tool for busybox installation. This is specially designed for stock ROM and kernel users. Without busybox many root app may not work correctly so made a simple one Click Tool for same. Also it have one more function to enable Broeser secret mode with password/fingerprint.

This application requires root.

1.Intall attached Busybox MM apk

2.open app - grant su

3.read status of busybox. And select to install if it is not installed.

4.once busybox installed, restarting app should show new status.

5.Also added small Tool to enable browser secret tab (with password / fingerprint) but that require to have busybox. So first install busybox before activating it.

Really I couldn't test this so recommend to make nandroid (at least before some report comes)

i flashed the sam mobile file to return to stock, the phone rebooted and the samsung logo with no sound. It gets to tmobile white screen and thats it. Nothing else happens.

I'm always a little bemused by people who go to all the effort of modding their device, downloading the stock firmware then installing it then finally posting they're having issues yet could avoid it all by simply spending 3 minutes making a full backup with TWRP first.

Not directed at anyone but just an observation that seems to happen time and time again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llawen:
First of all the stock firmware is flashed via Odin. A back up does no good. It wipes twrp and replaces stock recovery. So, what are you saying? I should have made a backup in twrp then flashed stock firmware and put stock recovery on device so I could recover. Roflmao

Some people post without fully reading the post. Not directed at anyone just an observation.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llawen:
Secondly, I have a FULL BACKUP on external sd card. I tried to reinstall twrp and root and reflashing. I still get to white splash screen and sits there for hours.

People should ask before being smart asses.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engine95:
Umm... Actually, if you install TWRP right after Odin, you can make a backup without root. Bone stock, fresh from Odin. Then you can restore and go from there if rooting turns out bad. Or whatever.

Just saying
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llawen:
Refer to post 4. Read people. Read. I wanted to go back to stock. 100% no twrp. Wow. So I flashed the firmware to go to completely stock. I had back up of stock Rom BEFORE ROOT ON EXTERNAL AND COPIED TO PC. Just in case.

Wow. So much for helping hands in this bunch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engine95:
Temper temper lad.

If you had made a backup (which is suggested) when you first installed TWRP, you could have restored it and been fine.

Now the Odin that someone has already pointed you to, has gone wrong for some reason. That's up to you to figure out.

But, when you Odin'd the correct file, did you wipe all 4 first? Or do a factory reset, then Odin?

Try that and see what happens. Odin only wipes the /system and any remenants or problems will remain unless you clear them.

Edit: /data doesn't get wiped in Odin. Also, if you factory reset, backup your int sd or you'll lose your files.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llawen:
Temper? ROFLMAO Nah, Just tired of attitudes like this.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Wow quoted ME twice. I am popular. :rolleyes:

For your info, if you'd have made a full backup with TWRP first before making any mods you wouldn't be in this situation.

All you need do is restore it then flash the stock recovery.img with twrp.

That would put you back to bone stock.

All done without needing ODIN at all.

Also there are many happy flash noobs who read these posts and the previous comment was directed at them.

Don't take it personally. ;)

Installing and running Kernel DorimanX V10.43 v100 works fine.

The problem is, that I have to compile it myself,

because I need additional kernel features.

Compiling works, but the kernel does not boot.

I had a bootloop and had to flash the pre-built v100 kernel

again to stop the bootloop.

The ROM is Cyanogenmod 11 / KitKat.

How to build a bootable DorimanX V10 kernel?

I used the official git repository from DorimanX.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Hi fellow kernel builder,

did you follow the guide properly given in the repo?

What is your build environment?

Did you clone the right repos (it's best to start with cybernetus' repo or mine)?

Did you change anything prior to building the kernel?

gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
The build-system is Arch Linux, with make 4.1 replaced by make 3.x

I renamed /usr/bin/python, because it is a link to python3 and

created a link to python2.

The repository is:

https://github.com/dorimanx/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel.git

I used the default branch "master-maliv3"

By the way, the updater script in:

Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/READY-JB/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

has two incorrect lines:

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/tune2fs.static");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

The tune2fs.static does not exist on my phone (because of the suffix ".static").

and su has wrong file permissions: it has to be 6755 instead of 06755.

The initramfs diretory is smaller than 14MB.

I tested both:

https://github.com/dorimanx/initramfs3.git

and

https://github.com/Lanchon/IsoRec-Dorimanx-initramfs3.git

Compiling worked fine, but

I could never produce a bootable zImage.

I used the compiler that is bundled with:

https://github.com/dorimanx/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel.git

in

Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/android-toolchain

Now I used the exact commands of build_kernel.sh and

flashed the kernel and now the system freezes

while showing the Galaxy SII logo. Even no reboot!

No download mode via Vol-up + Home + Power possible.

The device is soft-bricked. But download mode via

unbrick-dongle is still possible :)

I reflashed the prebuilt DorimanX kernel (the zImage).

Can you help be to compile a bootable DorimanX v10

kernel for my Galaxy S2 i9100 / CyanogenMod 11 KitKat smartphone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
[MENTION=7456176]G. J. Wucherpfennig[/MENTION]

I have no experience with arch Linux, because I only use Ubuntu to build the kernel. However it may be as simple as changing the file permissions of kernel files to fix this issue.

I do recommend trying a different distro like bbqlinux or Ubuntu and see if you can produce a working kernel zip.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
I was able to compile the full CyanogenMod 11 repository with the integrated Kernel.

I suppose that the integrated android-toolchain of the

DorimanX kernel repository does not work with my Arch Linux.

I will try to follow:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_integrated_kernel_building

Maybe I can compile DorimanX with the build environment

provided by CyanogenMod 11.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
Where is your repository and cybernetus one ?

Are they compatible to CyanogenMod 11 ?

Are they better than the kernel from

the repository of DorimanX ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Programming

github.com/gsstudios

github.com/ataliba

Both are compatible with cm11. My repo has newer commits and changes. But you will need to change the branch to master-maliv3 and master for kernel and initramfs respectively.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
I compiled a kernel from your kernel repository sources.

I didn't use ccache so I had to edit the top-level Makefile

and delete "ccache" before gcc and g++.

Everything worked fine, but the kernel still doesn't boot.

Again a bootloop.

It surprises me that CyanogenMod 11 with the default

smdk4212 kernel compiled fine on my Arch Linux system.

I hestiate to witch to Ubuntu, because Arch Linux is a

much better operating system. I even tried to compile

the custom kernel with the prebuilt compiler from

CyanogenMod, it still results in a non-bootable kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
I have built your kernel in BBQ Linux and in Ubuntu 14.04 (in Virtualbox) with the same result.

An unbootable kernel and a bootloop. I really do not know what to do next.

Please help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
That's weird, if you've followed everything exactly in the guide, it should build a working kernel. Are you sure there are no errors during compilation? Something sounds not right about how you are building it. I would start by going through the guide again. You may have missed something.

gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
Now it works!

I had to do "sudo" for build_kernel.sh

Please change the README file.

Installing ia32-libs is not possible any more

since Ubuntu 14.04. Please instead add

"lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 make"

to the apt-get install directive!

Please change build_kernel.sh

"chmod -R 777 /tmp" is not acceptable

on a production operating system.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noppy22:
Which kernel are you using? Compiled by gsstudios or yourself?

I used and tested the latest V10.50v005 extensively and found it to be very stable. Also a couple of V10.45's were very stable as well
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Are you sure? I'm running it here right now on my phone and it is stable.

Please check again.

Ensure you have reset your profiles and make sure you have wiped cache.

Log files that may help you include the kmsg, dmesg. Logcat may help as well, but mostly to diagnose issues with cortexbrain and app related issues.

gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
I'm sorry, I forgot to wiped the cache after upgrading the kernel!

I still haven't reset my profile. I think I've only upgraded the kernel

and _not_ the whole operating system and resetting the profile

should not be required... or am I wrong in this case?

I could not find these log files that you mentioned.

/data/log is empty.

Running dmesg is not an option in such a case

as the kernel is not running any more...

I will investigate this issue further and

when there are problems I will write here again...

Well everything seems to be OK now. The kernel is a self compiled V10.50v005 from gsstudios git.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
It's good practice to reset profiles just in-case anything went wrong or to refect any changes the developer has made. I might have forced a reset in one of my builds so it may have not been required.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G. J. Wucherpfennig:
It's already the 5th time that my smartphone suddenly was switched off.

I think this is because of the Dorimanx kernel, but I can not prove this.

Before installing the Dorimanx kernel this never happened.

Running dmesg is not an option, because I cannot access the smartphone.

Every time this happens I have to push the power button for a long

time. Then the smartphone boots normally.

[Honor 7 General] Aruta79:
Hello,

I have one Honor 7 which was on B180 and updated through OTA, but I also have another one which I got on B120, or PLK-L01C185B120, to be precise. It reports no updates available, and all over various forums all I could find was people asking questions about this version and no answers.

The hardware seems to be identical for all I can tell, but so far I have failed trying to do local updates (to full B121) and forced local updates (to full B121).

Can someone please clarify what the difference is between "mainstream" Honor 7 and this PLK-L01C185B120 version, and also how to update it?

Before today's update, I was running Nova with double tap set to the app screen off and lock. This allowed me to double tap the home screen to shut the screen off and lock the phone (I prefer this to clicking the power button). After the update, I can still do this, but it will no longer work with fingerprint unlock. If I try unlocking the screen using fingerprint, it forces the pattern unlock. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
It's a Marshmellow thing and was like that before the update (at least there were many reports of it, I don't use that feature of Nova).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] xemnas18:
I'm not familiar with that, but it was definitely working for me before the update. It's not really a Nova feature; Nova just supplies the double tap gesture function which can be used for anything. I think it has something to do with lock screen security, but nothing I tried worked. Thanks anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
It's a Marshmellow thing, not a Nova thing. It doesn't work on 6p, or 5x, or any other variant of the s7. Or with any other apps that lock the screen. Seems like it may have been a fluke if it worked on yours. It has to do with the apis for smart lock and Google's fingerprint api.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] bjtcars:
Same thing with me. The update messed mine up as well. I use this app now with Nova double tap and its working good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwashisoft.screenoff&hl=en

It doesn't lock the screen it just turns it off but it will lock when the setting you have it set for times out. I have mine at 30 seconds.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] admiral70:
I use a different tap to lock screen and it now makes me use the pattern all the time. If I use the power switch and wait the 30 seconds the fingerprint works. Try that and see if it works not using Nova.

It is third party lock/screen off apps that cause the enter pattern always function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] xemnas18:
Got it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply, but it works now. You just have to use a different app that turns the screen off but does not lock it. With the new app, the phone will lock itself after a few seconds and then I can use fingerprint properly when I turn it back on.

Unfortunately I have not found anything capable of being used after 4.4.2 on Linux which is why I said the VM..

This isn't like Windows where you just install a .exe and it works, there's a lot more involved than that.
