[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Can you tell me please which version of xposed? Id like to unstall it. I also freezed with titanium almost all nvidia apps and services. If the kill switch is an update sent by nvidia servers, deleting tegra ota would be safe, and also the recovery, so nothing can be flashed. Did you check if the kill is triggered for your pyro?

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

So, if the kill is contained in the stock images and you were connected to internet while using the stock image, you would have been affected by the kill switch. But youbsay its working, so i think theres no kill in.the stocks
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
I installed 4.0.1 before the 4.1 and tablet worked (but never cinnected). Can you "system update" on your settings after flashing the nomoreota zip?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Its not green. Its the nirmal g updater. When.i.was stock 5.1.2 i deleted manually tegraota apk and "system update" on settings was disappeared. Maybe the g updater is another way to kill the tablet?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Is your pyro working now?
[Shield Tablet General] wiQbold:
Yes?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
So the kill switch is not the stock downloadable images. (I think). What apps did you freezed?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Thank you very much. What kind of program is this?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Can you describe step by step what happened? Maybe the kill is in the stock official recoveries
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
WRONG! DO NOT SPREAD MISINFORMATION. There have been ZERO POSTS of having received a kill switch if nomoreota.zip was correctly used. All posts were from those who DID NOT follow proper procedures, which is to delete TegraOTA BEFORE booting into the system (See FIRST bullet point!).
[Shield Tablet General] wiQbold:
OK. and what does mean "[BUSTED] Pyro got killed after flashing recovery image!" ??

or
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Are we sure that he followed all the steps correctly?
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
There's zero indication Nailyouh deleted TegraOTA after flashing recovery. Like I said, the few posts I have seen regarding a bricked tablet since the Marshmallow update have been from those who didn't correctly remove TegraOTA.

On Marshmallow, once TegraOTA is deleted, the "System updates" function is some stock Google updater that doesn't do anything on the tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Are you sure that the normal google update does do anything?
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
All I can tell you is I dirty flashed my US LTE tablet from Lollipop to Marshmallow using the RoW-LTE Full 4.1 OTA zip, deleted TegraOTA, and my tablet is still alive. I've tapped System updates many times and nothing has happened the last few weeks I've had this installed.
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Did you use wifi?
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
Yes, my tablet is fully connected, both WiFi and LTE.
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Did you freeze some.apps.or only deleted tegraota?
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
I think this is the g updater right?
[Shield Tablet General] Djabolic:
Thats the stock update screen. That means you're safe.

Never fully boot your tablet with Stock Recovery or without deleting the TegraOTA folder.

I was able to update my original tablet from k1 stock rom to original tablet stock rom 6.0.1 without an isse via TWRP. I was pretty amazed when I learnt it is possible to do that. Updating to original tablet stock rom also restored the stylus functionality which is another epic win for me.
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Ok thx. I have not a recovery, neither stock or twrp. I ersased it

[Remix OS for PC] Hankafyin:
I kicked the tires on Remix OS for PC. I had an extra SSD in my desktop. I got everything up and running, but the road block was not being able to scale the resolution for my two 42" TVs that I am using as monitors. Without being able to scale the resolution, I don't really have access to the task bar.

I did some searching around, and only found solution for standard resolution. I also need to scale the resolution. I got silly enough to search for Nvidia control Panel for Android (running a GTX 970). I was not able to find a solution.

If anyone has a solution for scaling resolution, I will give Remix OS another look, but right now it just won't work for me. I would love to be able to move to one platform for everything.

Thanks all!!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehAsher:
Hey guys, I know there's a crazy amount of unrooting threads here and everywhere else on the internet, but the more I search the more confused I get. So here's my short situation and my few questions:

Got a T-mobile M8, rooted, S-On, Unlocked, Running S.ROM. I'm trying to do the Tmobile JUMP thing to get the new HTC 10, so I'm trying to unroot this as much as possible. I've found at least 7 different ways with different outcomes on how to do this, so here are my questions:

-I keep reading you can just flash the RUU with no other prerequisites and it'll take your phone back to stock (except for the "Relocked" status). Is this true?

-Follow up to previous question: has anyone had any experience with returning a Relocked phone to Tmobile for their JUMP plan? (Not warranty exchange, I feel they're more strict with that)

-Is the only way to change the Relocked status to Locked by going S-Off with Sunshine and doing all of the 8923479324 steps in order to erase all of the tampered flags?

-What is the BEST method with the BEST outcome to go back to full stock on the M8?

Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The statement "no other prerequisites" is not specific enough. If you mean stock ROM and/or stock recovery (which folks sometimes think is needed to RUU), its true that neither are needed in order to RUU.

There are however some prerequisites:

1) PC required. Win7 and USB 2.0 for the best compatibility with RUU.

2) RUU needs to be intended for your version (CID and MID)

3) RUU version needs to be greater or equal to main version on the phone (this requirement is bypassed with s-off)

4) Relocked or locked bootloaded (this requirement also bypassed with s-off)

Correct.

T-Mob is not my carrier, and I know nothing of their Jump program. But in most cases, the best bet with returning a phone is to RUU to stock, and make the bootloader LOCKED. Return to s-on (after s-off) is probably not needed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehAsher:
Thanks for the info! I guess I'll be getting sunshine then and try to follow all of these guides. So if I S-off with sunshine, as long as I check my CID and MID (I got the RUU from the HTC website, but I'll double check it anyways), I can flash that and return to stock. And afterwards I can find a guide on how to reset the tampered flags and the Locked status?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, that is what I would suggest. Guide on how to make it LOCKED and remove TAMPERED:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
How I went back to stock

I was rooted and running custom ROMS, but when MM came out I wanted to make sure that my firmware/radio was updated. So for me this is what I did

- first I am s-on

- When I unlocked the bootloader, just before I installed TWRP, I made a copy of the recovery. Also I backed up my stock ROM. Both I kept

So to restore:

- I re-installed via TWRP, the stock ROM, and made sure that I didn't root it

- I re-installed the stock recovery

- rebooted and phone saw the MM upgrade and proceeded to upgrade.

If you don't have the recovery/stock ROM you will need to remember what version of android you were on when you overwrote the recovery with TWRP. If your firmware + recovery + OS do not match the update won't work.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehAsher:
Awesome, got my phone S-Off. I tried installing the RUU from the HTC website but I got an error and it failed, saying something about I'm using the wrong RUU. This is my CID and MID:

MID: 0P6B13000

CID: T-MOB010

I used this link to get my RUU:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What error number? If 155 or 159, you can't RUU from LP to MM (this is a new requirement they added with MM). You either need to flash the 6.20.531.5 full stock firmware from here, then run the RUU again. Or run the T-Mobile LP RUU.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSperks:
So a while back I flashed Cyanogen on my Motorola G 2015 just to test and see what's up. Today I went back to stock rom, rooted and modified the heck out of it. I followed the popular XDA fastboot flashing method POST and got the "official" stock rom from this thread (It said modified in the bootloader after I flashed it 100% correctly, BEFORE I started to root and mod it myself, weird huh?) So back to the problem. My partitions are completely messed up now. It's not what it was before (I think). The Internal Storage is mounted on two separate points and my SD card gets mounted as something wierd. Here are all the screenshots you need. Please tell me how to make it normal again.

Somehow here it looks like everything is fine.

YET if I format it as adoptable storage, ie. as internal sd card I can't even find it, nor can any app detect it. (But I can actually use it to put apps in it via the storage options)

First lets see the vold.fstab file

I've never seen something liket this.

my /mnt/ folder

I found my SD card partition in /mnt/media_rw with a weird number FC36-1DFE.

Here is my SDCARD1

500mb, nice partition. Much wow

up until now this is all in INTERNAL STORAGE the only EXTERNAL ( MY 32gb sandisk microsd) with the weird number FC36-1DFE is the next screenshot

When I moved these screenshots to my SD card from my internal, my pc doesn't even see them. and if I try to move from internal to sd via PC, it just doesn't work (SOME TIMES).

???????????????

Finally the illusive internal storage !

but this is where the fun part actually begins

Here is the same damn internal storage in a different directory

Storage folder

I might be over exaggerating, cause I'm new at this. But I have major problems with my sd card and internal one, some things don't work right, and all this that I saw and screenshot looks dodgy as hell and not quite right. Or maybe everything is fine and I'm a retard? You guys be the judge, please help or explain what the hell is going on. :crying:

If this is normal please say so in a reply, if not, guys please help. Bump.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sticktornado:
It sounds normal, maybe it's just how the root browser is picking it up. Back when I had formatted my SD Card as internal storage, it also had the weird name of yours, like FC36-1DFE, but only different. I'm sure it works just fine, but a way you could test is to install an app and then unmount the SD Card, and check if the app is inaccessible anymore.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knpk13:
Same here. But apps(even root apps like Titanium Backup) are unable to write to the SD card. When I use TB to try to back up to the SD Card, it says directory is not writable.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSperks:
There is an easy fix for that, make Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, go to the app then menu, then preferences then backup folder location, select storage provider, document provider storage, now if you have the stock explorer as default select the 3 dots on the upper right and select show SD card then select the 3 lines on top left, select your SD card then press select on your bottom right side, now select the Titanium Backup folder u made and restart the app.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knpk13:
That's what I did. It says the directory is not writable. Backups fail.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSperks:
Try to go to root explorer, find your SD card mine is storage/bunch of numbers... long press your SD card folder in /storage and press 3 dots on upper right then press permissions, press octal and then insert 771 then press OK and try again with what I wrote I last post.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSperks:
My SD card is not formatted as internal and it shows with those numbers.. The problem is that when I do format it as internal storage it disappears for apps instead of being the only one showed like before, since in MM when you format your SD card as internal the internal storage disappears and not the other way around :/

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dildano:
A few questions about encryption on the S7:

Some threads, e.g., TWRP, refer to "Samsung encryption". Does the S7 use some sort of proprietary Samsung encryption, or does it use the standard Android encryption?

Since I have now disabled encryption after installing TWRP, can I re-enable it? If so, how?

Would FlashFire allow me to flash ROMs with encryption still enabled?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Galactus:
1. Simply put, the method in which Samsung decrypts encrypted data isn't known

2. You can enable encryption but you must start from scratch. (As far as I am aware anyways). Means you must flash stock ROM in ODIN.

3. Not sure. You can certainly flash zips that modify /system. You can also use TWRP as long as you don't need to mount data. Switching ROM normally means a standard factory reset but if you are encrypted you can't use TWRP to factory reset and I am not sure if FlashFire can do it either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tefole:
2. do you have to really start from the scratch?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-encrypt-device-custom-rom-knox-1-t3392301

3. is factory reset not just a kind of a wipe? why cant twrp just format the encrypted partitions?

I spent also several days to fully customize my S7 (cfw S7 debloated) and i am quite happy yet.

But if I lost once a phone long time ago.. So encryption is a must, root too.

I would accept definetely a non-working TWRP, if I could get an encryption?

any advices?

thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Yep, once you disable encryption in TWRP and flash the dm-verity zip, the option to encrypt the phone won't even be available in settings. In the rare case that it is, it will always fail.

Since you want root and encryption, it is pretty simple.

Flash stock rom in ODIN (Backup, backup, backup anything valuable)

Obtain root using CF-Auto Root method

Install TWRP, allow modifications, don't wipe /data

You can only flash zips from external SD card. Internal storage will be unavailable in TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tefole:
I did a make backups with TWRP and TitaniumBackup.

May I ask some more questions, i do want to understand the procedure.

I guess the stock ROM is already encrypted - is that the reason why TWRP doesnt have access to /data (as well to the internal /sdcard) till the encryption is disabled?

After flashing stock the bootloader is locked again, so I do have to unlock the "OEM unlock" per developer settings again? The phone wont be wiped afterwards?

May i recover/restore here a formerly per TWRP backuped ROM? I guess, this want be possible, hence TWRP doesnt has access to /data, nor to /sdcard?!

Which partitions I am allowed to restore, respectively is there a chance to recovery somehow the TWRP backup (it was soo much work).

Or can i disable encryption and enable it again, after restore?

After everything went well, I am going to encrypt the ext-sdcard too. I guess, TWRP will be useless then...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Once you flash the stock ROM, the phone is encrypted before first boot

Once you OEM Unlock, it stays that way unless you attempt to re-lock it. Once you flash a stock ROM and go to developer settings, you'll see OEM Unlock is still on

Encrypted device = No restoring of any kind in TWRP, that is the trade off. Some people use FlashFire to back up and restore. I tried once a while back and it didn't work. Others seem to be ok

If external sd is encrypted also, then your only chance is to use FlashFire. TWRP is basically useless
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tefole:
Thx for your reply :)

After I flashed stock and finally customized my installation, would this be safety feature to relock the OEM? Is a relocking wiping also the whole phone or only the unlocking?

So that means, that if go through this instructeres, i cant flash any CFW, neither i cant restore my TWRP backup?

Thats a pitty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Galactus:
If you try to relock OEM, your device won't boot lol. I learned that the hard way months ago. Had to start from scratch.

What custom firmware are you trying to flash? If you mean custom ROMs then theoretically speaking you should be able to flash them using FlashFire.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tefole:
Thank you for the hint - this will me spare the fate :)

I chose S7_extreme_debloated from [MENTION=5378210]Battlehero[/MENTION].

I am quite happy with that CFW and i thought, i can install my apps and customize the system and start the encryption - didnt worked.

So, I will begin from the scratch too. It would be great, if I could start with this CFW after, flashing stock.

I finally managed to purchase the S6.

It came with a custom ROM (from previous owner) (see pic).
