[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim Niklas:
before flashing a marshmallow rom, you have to get the latest bootloader. i don't know if there is another way than flashing it through odin. using this method you lose your root.

also, if you install a different kernel, it's most likely to lose root too.

and with xposed, you need a deodexed firmware at the moment. it's recommended to install a deodexed rom with a clean install. i think, you'll lose root, too.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
If you flash TWRP or custom kernel via any method (TWRP, Flashfire, Odin vs), knox will be tripped.

There's NO way to use 6.0.1&root without tripping Knox.

Hi All,

I tried to Root my phone after researching the process for a few hours, guess I didn't do enough research!

The phone won't start and the boot menu isn't helping.

I tried Recovery but all I get is lying down android with a red exclamation mark above him, I cant get past that.

The boot up screen I get isn't like the one I saw online when searching for a solution, it doesn't give me any reset options.

I also looked at reinstalling the firmware but that will also involve getting past the current boot screen.

It's a Moto G 3rd Gen

Hope you can help,

Thanks

P.S It's Android 6.0

Hi everyone, I have a Cubot Note S, and somehow I managed to screw it up, I was installing a update through wireless update, and all was going well, until the phone showed and error message, I turned the phone off, I took the battery out and put it back in as well, but that didn't help as well, the phone is currently stuck in "Android system recovery <3e>". My phone was also rooted. I am not an expert in android, so please if you're going to guide me, then please do it as if you were teaching a baby, as my skill level is not yet there. I have a youtube link, that shows what kind of system recovery mode it is in, but as I am not allowed to post external links currently, searching up "cubot note s recovery problem" on YouTube should bring the search up.

Thanks

yeah this phone has heating issue, I think the main reason is processor, any intensive processor using apps will heat it up quickly, in 10 minutes and I don't think this could be solved with software update, this is bad because it will lower the life of phone, so in my opinion if you haven't got this phone yet, don't buy it, get redmi note 3 3gb ram instead

I tested with 'Made In China' and 'Made in India' g4+....quite obviously Indian Device is getting more warmer in less time and even Display is not bright enough when compared to Chinese(Original).

What I'm trying to say is people I saw who are worrying too much about the heating issue are owners of "Made in India". Mine is working fine after the Initial update but getting little warmer after playing too much(I play Nova, asphalt) but I can live with this..

So check your device manufacturer .. and I can say if you bought recently(and got USB charger) then it is Indian and If you purchased at earlier it is Chinese

PS: Mine is chinese..not Indian (check your device box for Name of Manufacturer to know)

But would like to mention something that i had experienced with my xperia e3

Its that after i rooted it and got rid of a few actually a lot of system apps i dint notice overheating in it evn while playing games like MC4 for almost 3hours continuously with my charger plugged it......

In case of moto g4+ therz no bloatware too(very very less bloatware)so it just might be the chance of over usage...etc....apart from the time of gaming and turbo charging i dont really think the phone heats up to a level that u would have to worry(like 3g all day long with whatsapp snapchat and instagram running all day long)......

So, I'm curious about it, and flash twrp myself just awhile ago...

And got bootloop, really... wait, seriously?

I'm like

How did the other day I'm able to survive this? It boot normally,

After 1st successful boot, flashing root, (I don't remember but just say I'm booting twrp this time), xposed, aware that root lost after reboot, I did my backup here,

Then deciding to start from scratch, installing official Asus, boot normally, flash twrp, rooting,rebooting few times and somehow root intact, install xposed, root lost...

Restart again, install Asus official (I'm not restoring my backup, really, the only thing I know how to install stock is by stock recovery itself) , boot twrp, install root by system, reboot, root intact, xposed, root intact, surfing net, registering xda yesterday, just now replying to your thread, then you can read from above again...

Just few minutes ago, restore recovery from backup (still bootloop though), installing Asus again, and make this reply...

Sorry can't help you, even I'm confused right now

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testeraphy:
Sorry, which part?

If about how I got my recovery back then, I don't really understand, let's assume I have my backup that time. now I have my backup, for real.

From what I understand, invalid boot mean either you got broken boot images or locked bootloader, so which one is familiar to you?

Anyway, you can try to flash back stock boot (grab from asus zip) and stock recovery (if you have them, or find on this forum?).

I don't know if locked bootloader can flash boot/recovery, never tried it myself. So, good luck!

Hey,

Just wondered what your thoughts on aftermarket front camera's are. My front camera has just started playing up in the last week or so, a couple of little artefacts which are captured by the sensor. I'm guessing the sensor is perhaps damaged, although it could just be dust I guess? Maybe I'll take it apart and have a look today.

Anyway,

That link says "Front Facing Camera Flex Cable". By my understanding that means it's just the cable, not the camera itself.

Be careful with the phrasing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
I would expect the whole lot to be there, especially as it's photographed. It's become the thing to call everything that requires a flex cable, a 'flex cable' even though it's more than that. Plus, you can't really replace the flex. It's sort of glued to the base camera, as I found out today when I removed mine and it fell apart.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wongchi66:
Hello everyone!

I have download several utility and file to unlock my new Dash Tmobile phone and I was so nervous of what to do since it is my first time to unlock the phone. So I went to ebay.com and bought two software from a guy .. 1. application unlock, 2. SIM CID unlock ...

I ran this software as the guide tell me what to do, but at the end still did not work for me. I have read step by step very careful and still did not work.

Easy auto-install Instructions:

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

1.	Run first “DashExcalibur_Unlock_v1.bat”

NOTE: PLEASE BE ADVISED THE MANUAL PROCESS IS TRULY OPTIONAL NO NEED TO RUN IT IF YOU DOUBLE CLICK ON THE AUTO INSTALL “DashExcalibur_Unlock_v1.bat”.

If you don't want to install automatically, or for some reason the process doesn't work for you, here are the manual instructions:

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

1. Transfer from folder SSPL/”DashExcalibur.exe” to your phone and run it

2. Tri color screen will appear

3. Disable Active sync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")

4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.

5. run RUU/”ROMUpgradeUtility.exe”

6. Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!) (Note: If you get and error “Invalid

Vendor ID or “Invalid Update Tool” It’s ok. That means more then likely your phone doesn’t need the boot loader update” and run the Other ROM update we have provided. It’s located in the “DASH ROM Update” Folder.

Double click “DASH ROM Update.11.531.2_4.1.13.24_02.48.90_T-Mobile.US_SHIP” to install/update your phone. (Continue as follow below:….)

7. Allow your phone to reboot.

8. Transfer/Copy “DashExcalibur _Unlock_v1.exe” program to your phone and run it

9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.

10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.

11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.

I ran bouth the auto unlock and manual unlock but still didnt go ... I notice that when it tried to update the ROM .. at the end it state INVALID VENDOR ID .. and the ROM suppose to change from 1.22.xx.xx.xx to 1.11.xx.xx.xx and after it reboot I checked the system info it still show 1.22.xx.xx.xx ...but when I ran the SIM/CID unlock it stated that successfully but when I put a foreign SIM in .. it still ask me the code....

Anyone here has any idea?

thanks;

hi@all

i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?

can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?

if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?

does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?

there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?

many thanks!

best regards

adnan
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Lazer Bear:
Hello there,

what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.

Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] adnan.makarevic:
hello

many thanks for your replay.. :) i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. :) your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery? :D :D

have an nice day!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] kurci2:
Hello!

I have a question about profile to execute task when opening or closing app without accessibility services turned on.

So I want my phone to automatically do some stuff when I open a particular app.

Is is possible to detect app open or close without enabling Tasker accessibility sercice.

Why I want this? I have Nexus 5x rooted with TWRP, so I want encryption enhanced with my password, which is not possible when one have any accessibility service enbled.

So, is there a way to detect app opening or closing without tasker accessibility service?

Thank you!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] RuggedHunter:
How experienced are you? You can use this as a guide, but since oom_adj values behave differently for other devices, you'll need to take the concept and modify it to your needs...but yes, you can create your own looping task to detect the launch or closing of any app. Here's how I detect that Tasker has closed:

Detect Tasker (355)
Run Both Together
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%newline To:
Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A2: Variable Set [ Name:%space To: Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A3: Run Shell [ Command:ps Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:eek:ff Store Output In:%apps Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A4: Variable Split [ Name:%apps Splitter:net.dinglisch.android.taskerm Delete Base:eek:ff ]
A5: Variable Split [ Name:%apps1 Splitter:%newline Delete Base:eek:ff ]
A6: Variable Set [ Name:%last To:%apps1(#) Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A7: Variable Set [ Name:%taskerpidline To:%apps1(%last) Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A8: Variable Split [ Name:%taskerpidline Splitter:%space Delete Base:eek:ff ]
A9: Variable Set [ Name:%taskerpid To:%taskerpidline4 Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A10: Run Shell [ Command:cat /proc/%taskerpid/oom_adj Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:eek:ff Store Output In:%oom Store Errors In: Store Result In:%Aresult ]
A11: Flash [ Text:%oom Long:eek:ff ]
A12: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A13: Goto [ Type:Action Number Number:1 Label: ] If [ %oom < 2 ]
A14: Write File [ File:DetectTasker/shutdownlog.txt Text:%DATE %TIME Append:eek:n Add Newline:eek:n ]

You'll need to change A4 to the package name you want and insert a flash of %oom in the loop so you can understand how the value behaves for you when opening and closing the app...then change the check on A13 to what works for you. A14 writes a file, so you could use a File Modified context to trigger whatever tasks you want.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] kurci2:
Well, to be honest, I am not that experienced, and this is a bit too much for me.

Specifically I want to automatically execute some tasks when opening and closing Nexus 5x Camera app (stop music playing when opening and opening Snapseed when closing and other). I know that this is not very serious life dependant stuff, but Tasker is all about making life easier ?. Tasks are easy to create, but I am not knowledgeable enough to understand everything you proposed.

Thank you for your effort anyway!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] alienyd:

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] RuggedHunter:
No worries. One of the beautiful things about Tasker is that there's almost always multiple ways to achieve your intended result.

If you really want this and feel overwhelmed by the shell scripts above, you can probably avoid trying to detect the camera app altogether by making a shortcut out of your task and using it to launch the camera instead of the app icon. Set an icon and save a shortcut to your desktop or whatever that turns off the music and launches the camera. Always use that shortcut icon to open your camera app instead of the camera app's icon.

You could do a variety of things to avoid detecting when the camera closes. You could make a task that runs the tasks you wish to perform when camera closes, then kills the camera itself... And you could display an invisible overlay scene that performs that task when you long press it....or you could use Xposed Additions module to map that task to the Back and Home buttons... Lots of options there.

Overcoming these kinds of challenges is what helps you master Tasker. [emoji2]
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] kurci2:
Hello again!

I have started to learn tasker, but I am only at basics. For example I configured WiFi ON/OFF based on cell towers around me and I automated SMS backup.

But I am still far away from understanding your script (for example I do not know what to write in "To:" section and I do not know that does :eek:ff mean).

Before I had multiple wishes for tasker to do. I wanted it to automatically make all the pictures black and white when would enable that profile, but I found other quick ways with Snapseed and photoshop. After that I wanted automatic photo uploading and then I figured that Google Photos is the greatest of them all and already automatic. Etc.

There is only one thing left that I can not solve without this tasker script. I want to turn off camera sounds. I know about deleting camera sounds in system folder, but if one uses HDR that is not effective, because HDR makes its own sound. Those camera sounds are really annoying to me.

So I am asking you if you can help me to create a tasker profile and task to enable Do not disturb mode when camera app is opened and restore to previous volume setting when camera is closed. I use stock Google Camera on Nexus 5X, and I think this is the best and most straight forward android camera app.

So my question is if you can help me to configure this profile. This is kind of my last thing from Nexus perfetion :).
