You need the latest paid pro version of SuperSUME.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirleys143:
Whiso, in Odin3, download and put the engineering file under the first "BL" space on the right. Make sure your phone is connected. You should have a message like the one below on the left window.

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/006> Initialzation..

Then press start.

If everthing ok, you will get a message and a green bar on the top left. Unplug and proceed with the other apps.

I used a mid 2016 Kingroot v4.5. Latest Kingroot came out after latest Super-SUME.

datder, what worked for me was to root with Kingroot, check root, and immediately run Super-SUME without rebooting or restarting. Then check with the new SuperSU that will appear under your installed apps. I had to do it several times because I was not paying attention and doing stupid things. If you don't want to buy Super-SUME, as it is optional, appquarentine kept kingroot at bay. ashyx step 3 at the top. Kingroot gets you root so you can stop there. Trust me, NSA has more information on you than big brother.

Just follow ashyx's directions. He/she knows what he/she is doing.

FWIW, APC8, APJ2, APB1 firmwares appear to work, from reading this forum. I have the APJ2. If you brick your phone, read my short thread!:D

I think maybe you need to keep yourself up to date. That is an old 2013 device called the GT-i8730 and nothing like the j120a.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datder:
Good summary and thanks for the info. How were you able to flash the firmwares through odin? I put my phone in odin mode, boot up odin (tried 3.10, 3.12, 3.13) but all seem to crash when I press start. I was able to flash the modified boot to work so I know odin worked at least once. Is there a version I should try?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirleys143:
RTFF. You do not need to flash a firmware unless your phone is not booting up.

Reboot your computer. Start up the Odin3 from the firmware link. Make sure your phone is connected. Put the system firmware. the really big file, in the second line on the right under "AP". click start.

The left window will show a series of messages. The phone will show a thin progress bar in the middle of the screen. When finished, the phone should reboot. You should get a success message on the left panel. Reboot several times.

My original firmware out of the box was APC8. I did one OTA so I was probably at APJ2 when I started trying to root the phone. Since the recovery firmware flash, I am getting an OTA message for what I assume is APB1. I am choosing not to do the OTA as everything is working and I know I can recover to this firmware if I do something that bricks the phone again. YMMV
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datder:
Thanks again. I tried that but for some reason it doesn't work. Maybe I'll have to attempt it on a different computer. Sometimes it would crash odin entirely, another version of odin I tried got stuck on checking file, wouldn't even attempt to flash the phone.

When you mentioned this

Do you mean to use app quarantine and then to install SuperSU from the app store, then delete kingroot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skaterpunx197:
Quick question I used odin3, added boot.img to AP and successfully flashed, the phone rebooted and I ran kingroot, but it is not rooting, any reasons why? Also im running kingroot with my phone, should I be using my pc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Change your cable, yes believe me when flashing it makes a difference. I've had similar scenarios with seemingly perfectly good cables.

A cable that is too long will also generally cause issues.

Scroll up this page and find the system app remover or the sebloater/freeze tool link and download it then open it and remove or freeze "com.samsung.android.securitylogagent"

Don't need to use Super-sume. Erase it from your memory. Pretend you have never heard of it. Kingroot has all you need. You can merrily trundle along. Just install appquarantine to do the above freeze.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViralThread:
The only Appquarantine I see doesn't appear to be recently maintained (2014?). It works fine with 6.0.1?

I might give this a try. Is freezing somehow different than disabling the app? When i disabled KingRoot my phone no longer processed root requests and the checker showed it wasn't rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirleys143:
ashyx would know better. I look at it as a house or cards; rather than removing a card, I just ignore and not use it. I used appquarantine but anything similar should work. TB should work too. You only need to freeze SecurityLogAgent to stop the popups. Knox and Kingroot were automatically put there by the app or someother app I was running. In my case, root was maintained. I only bricked my phone when I used a my regular editor to backup and edit build.prop. YMMV.

FWIW, I don't update my apps unless forced to. Usually by Google and corporate apps. I have 4 year old apps running because they are smaller and work just fine.

All you really need is ashyx steps 1 and 2. Everything else is gravy. Read, reread, RTFF. It is all here and, I for one, learned a lot. So you can stop reading here and ignore the stuff below.

My goto apps are TB, Adaway and xposed. So far, have not tired xposed but everything else running fine including Supersu. Curious if any other issues came up for other users.

[General Questions and Answers] Moe Ginsburg:
What are the comparative advantages and disadvantages, when needing a hotspot to connect several devices, between choosing to use a dedicate hotspot (MiFi type) device versus using a dedicated smartphone that has a hotspot feature?

If using the smartphone option, the smartphone will be dedicated for hotspot use only and will not be used for any other purpose (such as voice calling, texting or even using data directly on the smartphone itself.) The smartphone will remain plugged into a power-outlet at all times and remain unmoved.

Some thoughts to consider are whether there are different limitations on the number of simultaneous connections between a dedicated hotspot versus a smartphone hotspot. Do devices built as a dedicated hotspot generally give a larger WiFi range coverage than the hotspot feature of a smartphone. Do one of these two options tend to have a higher speed connectivity for attached devices. Is there any downside to purchasing a used device. And, of course, cost-wise which can be procured least expensively and/or is a better cost-value. And any other important or relevant factor worth considering.

Whichever device is chosen would be LTE capable. (In this case to be used over the Sprint network.)
[General Questions and Answers] Moe Ginsburg:
Which LTE capable (Sprint) smartphone with a built-in hotspot feature would be most suited for use as a dedicated device that will only be used as a hotspot (and have no other use)? The phone will remain in one place, attached to a power outlet, unmoved.

I would like to use the device on the Sprint network on an account without the hotspot feature enabled on the account level. So I would need to modify the device to be able to work in this manner. What modifications would I need to make on the phone so that it can be used as a hotspot (either directly on Sprint or on an MVNO such RingPlus or FreedomPop) without hotspot being active on the account? And how difficult would it be to make those modifications?

And what will be the effect on the battery considering the phone will remain connected to the wall plug 24/7, and how best to mitigate any battery issues?

Which LTE smartphone models are known to have better reception or range for hotspot use, in terms of best WiFi range, speed for connected devices and number of devices capable to connect to it? If desiring to keep costs for the device at a minimum, would a used device work any less well than a new one? And, of course, which specific models have the best cost/value proposition for use for this purpose? (Or, perhaps, for LTE hotspot only use there is little differences between most models?)
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
If you intend to only use the device for WiFi, you are better off just buying something like MiFi.

The phone uses more power from the wall, doesn't have a dedicated antenna (so less coverage), may use it's network for checking for messages or calls, is more expensive, has useless components for it's purpose (speaker, BT, mic, camera, screen...)...

Benefits of a phone: you can program it to turn on/off hotspot at different times, ban someone for a specific amount of time, dynamic password changes (for ex. per day), capture traffic and analyze it (make sure this is legal)...

The decision is up to you really.
[General Questions and Answers] Moe Ginsburg:
How much of a difference in a) power usage and b) WiFi range coverage is there between a phone hotspot and a MiFi?

How can the phone be programmed to automatically shut off the hotspot at certain times or ban certain devices and automatically change the password or capture traffic logs?
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
There is no way to tell because different phone models and different WiFi Access Points all have different antennas and designs, however WiFi APs are designed strictly for the purpose of sending WiFi signal so it's expected that they are giving out different results.

You can do it with Java. You can create Android apps with Java and install them on the phone, it's not easy and it's definitely a learning curve, but once you know how to use it you will find it very useful.
[General Questions and Answers] Moe Ginsburg:
There aren't any generally available apps in the Play store that can do this?
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Not really. Not sure if it's because nobody thought of that before, or it's banned (changing passwords and stuff). There are definitely APIs for this.

[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] Jason Grewal:
Bro, kindly before posting things please search the forum this problem has been posted and discussed so in the future just do some research before posting (to fix VoIP I think you need to flash old audio hal.zip after you flash the ROM lollipop or mm. search that file yourself)
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] virags:
Thanks , i will try that. I did go through a lot of forums on xda as well as cyanogenmod. I installed CM11 , CM 12 , CM 13 and all of them had the same problem with VOIP calling and it was highlighted on each of the main pages that VOIP calling is not working. THat is why i asked if there is literally any ROM that supports VOIP calling.

After browsing through all the pages as best as I could on each of the CM11 , 12 and 13 forums , I honestly cound not find anything realted to VOIP fix . I will search now for the old audio hal.zip file fix and report back on this forum.

EDIT : I would like to report that flashing the old audio file did fix the VOIP issue for me. Below is the file that i flashed. Link is copy pasted from another thread , I do not own it. PLease note that hangout wll say your mic is muted , but its not, voice goes through and VOIP works. I also tested whatsapp , facebook video call and viber. Sound goes through for all ( mute does not work but I dont care about that). With this my S Duos is now running blazing fast. Thank you @no_name for the ROM & @Jason Grewal for the VOIP fix tip.

I was browsing from work yesterday and was redirected to a few sites, other forums, and somewhere I saw a picture of a wizard home screen that had some program installed. It changed the start bar icon to a very vista-ish style look, green circle silver bar, plus it switched the clock and the close button. Unfortunately, I was at work, so I didn't have much time to really take a good look before I had to get back on the phones, so I lost the page. It may have been a rom, as I was reading the thread of a rom when I saw the screen captures of it, but I'm almost positive it was just a program using different skins. I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find this program again, trying to retrace my steps, but to no avail.

If anyone knows anything about this program, any info would be great.

I have the Galaxy Note 5 which has wireless charging. When I plug the phone into my car to use Android Auto the car's USB port only provides 500 milliamps of charging which is not enough to keep the phone charged during the use of Android Auto. Could I use a wireless charging pad in the car to increase the charging current or does the phone somehow turn off wireless charging capabilities when it senses it is receiving power through the USB port?

So I was trying to flash the new N beta. I wanted to do it without wiping internal storage if possible so I went into the flash-all.bat and deleted "-w" so it wouldn't wipe. I wasn't sure if it would flash successfully without wiping but I figured it was worth a shot and if it didn't work I could always boot to TWRP, copy my data to my PC, then do a flash with a full wipe...

Well, after the flash completed and the phone booted up I'm getting the "Encryption Unsuccessful" error. Did it really attempt to encrypt my phone while flashing the beta? Why would it do that? Is there anything I can do at this point to avoid wiping my data? Losing my data isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to know why this happened...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vik4:
I had the same after flashing Nougat factory in a similar way. However, I had hard-booted after about 15 mins into the first boot as I figured it was in a bootloop. However, I now suspect it was encrypting the phone while doing the first boot. If this was the case, thats a big usability flaw IMHO - it should notify what's going on, and tell the user to connect the charger. Anyways, looks like I'm going to have to restore from backup :(
