Hey everyone

I'm trying to root my XT1097 (Canadian on Wind Mobile) but I cant seem to get TWRP to install. Everytime I try to boot into recovery it just boots normally. I have been searching these forums (and the internet) for days and can't seem to find a solution. I did see one mention of some devices automatically replacing a custom recovery when trying to boot into recovery for the first time and needing to hold a specific key combo while booting to prevent this but as near as I can tell this device is not one of them. It sure seems to be acting that way though, am I missing something?

Here is the info

Moto X 2014 XT1097 on Wind Mobile in Canada

Unlocked bootloader

Dev options on with USB debugging enabled

"twrp-3.0.2-1-victara.img" is the file I am trying to use from the twrp website, which I believe is the correct one

I enter the following in cmd

E:\Programs\Android>fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.328s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.251s]

finished. total time: 0.578s

and it reboots normally. If I try this:

E:\Programs\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (9160 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.328s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.407s]

finished. total time: 0.734s

Then select recovery on the phone, it just shuts off.

It says "Mismatched partition size (recovery)" in pink when I flash the recovery image but I read that that can be ignored if you use the first method.

Any help would be great!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
You use Volume Up, not the power button to select Recovery. The mismatch is normal because you're flashing a non-stock recovery.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Hi guys,

So, i want to do a simple task, root my phone and enjoy, but no, that is not possible because Android OS jumps to 30% of battery usage and drains my battery very quickly.

I know that there is a deep sleep patch but does it work on marshmallow? I can't seem to find answer anywhere. Also, i'm a simple kind of user and i don't need custom kernels etc. and i say this because i know that many kernels have the fix integrated but all the popular kernels are EOL so i'd like to stay stock...

Is there a way just to simply root the phone with cf autoroot and not to mess up with kernels etc.? I remember something about build.prop flag in one line that re enables the deep sleep, but also, i cannot find that answer anymore.

Thanks in front...

Any help is appreciated.

Androplus kernel seems very slightly degraded the camera quality, photo a bit softer or just tuned the stock sharpness level lower. :) It could be a pros and cons.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroPlus:
well, I didn't modify codes which can affect camera quality.

It's placebo...
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
The sony camera driver is a mass and since your kernel is heavily tuned so it could be a side effect. The last time I tried your v31 when I compared it with stock kernel, I found the image very slightly softed but it is very hard to notice so should be safe for most people. Recalled my memory, I remember there was a couple of guys on Z5 board who mentioned the same result.

However, the default sharpness is a bit over and some might actually prefer a bit softer in my opinions so it is not real a problem. :D

Keep your hard work up, thanks for supporting Z5c and starting to support X Performance. :good:

ATT auto updated my phone. Everything seems to work like it should except that the area next to my sim card is hot enough to burn me. If I put my phone in airplane mode everything is fine. My battery life is less than 4hrs. I have done a factory reset with no success. I want to install a custom rom but I cannot find a root for this new version. Is there any way to install a new rom with no root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wanggen:
I am also having the same issues. I thought it was a hardware problem, but after seeing your post I'm suspecting it is something else. I even went to the AT&T store to get a new SIM just in case that was the issue. It suxs, my phone is getting intermittent network connectivity and the right side of the phone is roasting. I also performed a factory reset to no avail... Anyone else having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] krperegrin:
I am having the exact same issue. Its basically made my phone unusable. Once the phone starts connecting/talking it gets very hot and i lose cell service. It like the cell radio starts working overtime, over heats and stops working . I have to put it in airplane mode t get the phone to cool down. Not sure what to do since it seems like a software issue. All started after the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wanggen:
Since my phone is unusable and there is nothing I can do software wise (Installed all AT&T updates and performed factory reset), I decided to call Samsung and put the phone in for a warranty repair. We shall see what happens after the 9 days it takes them to make repairs. Guessing that they wont actually troubleshoot the issue, just verify nothing is physically wrong with the phone, liquid spill, drop damage, etc. and then just send me a clean referb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] luxveritas:
Success!!!

I performed a factory reset and set the phone up as a new phone ignoring my backups. I installed all the updates and everything is working again.

The locked bootloader on this phone is bull****. ATT/Samsung broke my phone with an update and I could not install root to fix it myself. I will only buy apple or google phones from now on. I hope that the companies that make the OS might be a little more careful with their updates.

Hello everyone,

I want to share with all of you my first Android application with is published in Google Play.

Here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssb.gestitime

This is a simple but advance tool to schedule your time. It can help you to your studies, workouts in the gym, Kitchen, control your breaks/lunch/time in your work, and so forth.

The project started when I had to study for an

important oral exam where I have a limited time.

In this sort of oral exam, I really think it is not a smart way staring continuously at your watch. I wanted a simple and easy way to be able to control my remaining time. It would have to let me think and speak about whatever I had to speak about. It could be very useful to schedule my time in my phone.

One possibility could be to look for an App that

let me configure the total time and some intermediate notifications to help me know how long I had been talking.

Then, in silent mode, I could get in my pocket and it could vibrate according with times I have previously configured

. This way no body knows about it and only me could know about time and notifications/vibrations...

I didn't found any app that let me solve this problem and I thought it could be very useful for students and professionals, so after the exam, I started to develop gestitime!!!

This is my first Android App and I am trying to learn every day.

During the development, improvements, new ideas and useful functionalities come to my mind, so I am trying to do my best to get a good, easy-to-use and useful application updating continuously

I will also enjoy your feedback and comments.

In my opinion, user interface has a long way to improve, so I would really like tips and help!

I am also looking for volunteers to translate it in more languages, so any help would be welcome!! ;)

Thanks!!!

PS: I want to apology for not having linked the App before.
[Android Apps and Games] sesaba23:
I had forgot to tell that the App has an Apache 2.0 licence: Here is the link to Bitbucket if you want to contribute or, maybe, some novel developer wants to look at the code in order to learn something (have in mind that I am also a novel developer ;)):

[Android Apps and Games] sesaba23:
Hi again,

Tonight gestitime was update. I added an interesting features I think few similar apps have.

I've included custom expandable notification. You also can manage countdown from it. Even when the device is locked.

I hope someone enjoy and some feedback in this forum

[Xposed General] filix92:
Hello.

My phone is a SM-G903F with an android version of 6.0.1 and with an architecture of armeabi-v7a.

I have a problem because when I try to install the TWRP tar file (dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/) through ODIN it all goes perfectly well, I install it in the download mode and after installing it, it automatically resets but when I now open the recovery mode it goes in the stock recovery mode and not the TWRP recovery mode.

I basically follow exactly the instructions in this video youtube.com/watch?v=3-lwdZhdZWM but I always end up in the stock recovery mode.

Can anyone help me or suggest anything I can do?

Thank you very much,

Enrique
[Xposed General] nunein:
You have to unselect auto-reboot, shut down your phone (or remove the battery) after flashing TWRP and then manually boot into recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussio] nvan7891:
Since lag was quite bad upon rooting (at least it was for me, and I even did a full wipe and reset prior), the first thing I did was download Kernel Auditor and start tinkering with it in an attempt to reduce the lag and try to smooth things out. So far, my current settings are working quite well. It runs smooth and the lagginess is virtually nonexistent. It's not 100% perfect, but its damn close.

So here's a couple screens of my current settings, which are being set on boot with no issues. If I figure out a way to export profiles, I'll post that as well.

Please feel free to add onto, improve, elaborate, and/or talk **** (constructively). If you've found something else that has helped, let me know!

As always, I am not responsible if these setting, individually, together, or in any combination cause your phone to give you AIDS, explode, or cause any other undesired effect, up to and including instant super-death. ;)

I have an issue after flashing Aerom: Unfortunately I forgot to untick preloader when I flashed the rom. Installation went fine but device is not detected anymore by preloader driver. I tried different windows PCs without success. Flashing with SP Tools is not possible.

Bootloader (and ADB) mode working. Fastboot detects the device (in device manager it is listed as HTC Dream) In developer settings ADB and oem unlock are Activated. If I try to unlock boot loader via "fastboot oem unlock", I cannot select "Yes" (Volume up) on the device, only "No" (Volume Down)....not rooted, no custom recovery

How can I recover the right preloader or install custom recovery?
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] nephster:
Having just gone through the joy of unbricking my new P9000, after I didn't untick preloader when flashing, I've learned more today about using "meta-mode" with a MediaTek phone than I ever wanted to!

This is what debricked my phone. I wonder if this is of use to you? I make no claims it won't brick your device, so please read up on using this mode beforehand!!

Have Device Manager open to see what's going on with drivers

In SP Tools, load a stock ROM and tick *just* the Preloader. Hit Download.

Then hold down *only* the Volume + key (keep it pressed!) and plug the phone in. This bypasses the higher functions of the phone's memory and loads a basic driver - Mediatek USB VCOM will appear in the Device Manager under Ports. Keep Vol + pressed and it will flash the Preloader part of the memory.

With the Preloader flashed, the other parts of the phone (such as recovery) should be flashable, as hopefully the preloader driver will now load.

[Solved] Bricked -Brom Protocol Error- during flashing recovery with SP Flash Tool

tldr; Doing nothing fixed my phone

In my case, I received a "Brom Protocol Error" during the flashing of a recovery with SP Flash Tools. Phone was bricked, didn't turn on anymore.

When connecting to my pc, I would see "USB VCom Driver" be active but whatever I tried, SP Flash Tools would never start flashing again. The phone also never activated the "USB preloader Driver". Trying to get to meta-mode with connecting USB while pressing Volume+ didn't work either.

Solution worked out to be : Let the phone drain its battery. Over a few days I had removed the back cover and had been watching YouTube-movies about shorting test-points, the phone laying on my desk not charging. Right before I desoldered the battery I connected the phone again and pfew : It went to "USB Preloader Driver" and I could flash again :)

This is a cross-post from a reddit thread I started, but this is probably a more appropriate location for it.

I have been trying to modify files in the system folder for the Android container on the Asus Flip so I can install SuperSu, but have run into some problems.

The system folder is contained in a squashfs image on the chromebook at /opt/google/containers/android/system.raw.img. Mounted squashfs images appear to not support read-write access. I have been able to unsquash the image, add the SuperSU apk to the /system/priv-app folder and su to the /system/xbin folder, and remake the image. This boots, but SuperSU force closes as soon as it starts.

To make tinkering easier, I've tried building a writable image using dd and mkfs. I placed it in a location that has rw access and modified the /etc/init/android-ureadahead.conf script which mounts it to enable rw access. Unfortunately though it won't boot. The boot logs for the android container show a litany of SELinux errors for different things that it could not set context, operation not permitted. I can post the exact log if necessary. Some googling led me to find that the SELinux security context attributes weren't being replicated in my image, so I tried mounting with context and fscontext options equal to the contexts from the original image, but I get the same problem.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be especially grateful.
