[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Maltego:
Hello to the community!

I need assistance getting the Service Menu to work.

I followed the S6 instructions:

Goto /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu

Change to ON

Save and reboot

Dial *#0011#

Now a menu does come up, but it's blank (see attached pic). Am I missing something? Please help!

P.S. I've tried Phone Info app, doesn't help a bit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] schwift:
No one ever answered this so I will. I am 99% sure the Verizon version has to be rooted to access the diagnostic menu functions. It can still perform some of the single test dial codes, but I couldn't tell you there.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] russel.anjikar:
Not all verizon phone come with Enginnering mode on them, I have worked for Sprint as Engineer contract for AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile. Verizon is in class of it own, i just pruchased two SM-G30V one came with Engineering mode on it the other no engineering mode. Verizon's Engineer or Cell Technicians actually have software to push to the phone Via USB cable. Rooting a Sprint, Tmobile, AT&T all for it makes test easy with out cables, But verizon is not worth rooting and usually has side effects that i had and had to use the verizon Software to repair. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SkylineDriver:
That is your opinion (which you are entitled to) and your experience. I have S7edge, Verizon, been rooted for about 2 years now with ZERO issues. I also have access to this Engineering (Service) Mode- not that I have any use for it.

If you had to use Verizon's "software repair tool" then you had a separate issue.

YMMV

[Android General] SM-T325 LTE:
I've managed to root my Samsung TabPro w TowelRoot w/o tripping KNOX, and subsequently changed the ROM to a different/later stock version and successfully re-rooted after that. I've rooted a simpler pre-KNOX Samsung w ODIN and TWRP. Pretty easy to follow the directions for both. BUT, for rooting my low-end LG Leon running 5.1.1, I haven't found any attractive options. Looking at KingRoot convinced me that I do NOT want to go that route. All that to say that I'm no expert on rooting, but can research things and follow directions.

I've really appreciated the value of a rooted device with respect to getting rid of unwanted built-in apps, or at least keeping them from nagging me to update them. I'd like to have the same options with my LG Leon, but am NOT finding any credible approaches for obtaining root.

Any suggestions? I understand that a prior exploit that worked w 5.0.2 was patched, and so can't be used w 5.1.1. But, that was true for Samsung, and swapping out the kernel for an older, vulnerable one allowed me to root my TabPro w TowelRoot, and then restore the latest kernel w/o losing root. Might something like that be possible with my LG? I don't know enough to know how to put together something that could do that, only enough to be curious enough to ask if it could be done.

Just wondering. I'd really like to find a way to root this phone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

OK. I KEPT looking and, lo and behold, to my surprise, the solution was right here in the forum. It involves NO KingRoot or other weirdness, and it WORKED first shot. So, if you've got a T-Mobile LG Leon (or some other LG models), hop over to to the thread titled: "[GUIDE] how to root US LG G Stylo on 5.1.1 and unbrick :) updated on 9/2/2015" and check it out. It was stunningly simple, especially after rooting my Samsung TabPro TM-325.

Again, I'm running 5.1.1, not an earlier version.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Hi,

I haven't been in here a while. Mostly because I rarely use my 32Gb (2012) N7 anymore; it is simply too painful of an experience. Typically I will pick it up for web browsing, but after the browser or keyboard hangs for tens of seconds for the fifth time in ten minutes, I feel like chucking it against a wall.

Don't tell me I need to free up some space; it has 25 GB of free space in /data

Don't tell me I need f2fs; I'm running CM 12.1 (20151117) / 5.5.1 with /data and /cache formatted as f2fs

u0_a93@grouper:/ $ mount | grep f2
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC /cache f2fs rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,background_gc=on,discard,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,inline_dentry,active_logs=6 0 0
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA /data f2fs rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,background_gc=on,discard,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,inline_dentry,active_logs=6 0 0

I've filled (to within a few 100 MB) the device and deleted all those files; no real improvement.

So anyway - since I haven't been keeping up, I'm wondering if anyone had been able to shine some more light on what seems to be progressive degradation of eMMC write performance with use (independent of choice of OS, kernel, fs types etc). I suppose this is some sort of wear-leveling/write amplification thing but I can't say for sure.

I really liked this tablet for the first 18 months I owned it; I'm not trolling anyone here. Note that I don't believe this is a situation with faulty hardware (it never crashes or spontaneously reboots - eventually it always comes out of it's hangs (but maybe not for 30-40 seconds). My device has just gotten progressively worse with time, to the point of unbearability.

Have there been any new developments or findings in the last several months?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Thanks for the quick feedback everyone.

I'll read through that entire thread and look at the github too.

Already I see I've got Kingston eMMC (manfid 0x000070) , ugh.

Does Trimmer accomplish the same thing as trim on boot, or is it possible to re-enable trim-on-boot on a Kingston device if not? (I just leave the tablet on, so boot time isn't a huge deal to me.)

PS for anyone interested I stumbled across an older version of JESD84 (.pdf)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Performance optimization is always, always about details. In particular, tuning that benefits one type of workload usually makes another one worse.

If I'm sitting behind a full queue of I/O and the CPU is idling at 8% usage, tweaking the GPU or adding BT functionality isn't going to do me a whit of good.

But I'll give lines 58-74 of 01ParrotMod.sh a roll and see how it goes.

PS for anyone else reading this thread: the Trimmer app doesn't do anything on f2fs. (That app is basically a wrapper around a BusyBox version of fstrim; it dies without doing anything but the app doesn't record that in it's log.)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mausbock:
It's Your life. You can spend Your whole time in analyzing this old tablet and its firmware. You can also try dozens of custom roms or custom kernels, format partitions with f2fs etc. Mostly You will still have a laggy N7.

In past I also tried many things like wiping cache, limiting background processes and other tweaks in developer options.

Parrotgeek did a lot of research and many people like are happy with the result.

By the way, f2fs is auto trimming. There is no need to call fstrim manually or by script.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You are probably right I suppose. I guess the downside of buying inexpensive commodity hardware is that it is designed for a 2-3 year life cycle, maybe less.

Makes me wonder how much usable life span I gave up by letting the tablet sit at idle condition instead of turning it off - all those slow but non-zero write cycles inexorably chewing away at MLC/TLC write endurance lifetime, and that in turn causing progressively higher write amplification & lower usability/performance.

I can understand that - compared to other types of appliances / equipment that people buy - that expectations of usable lifetime for computers has always been rather short. Mostly because a replacement would be dramatically better/faster/more capable than the older gear. (In contrast, nobody expects to replace their toaster oven every two years - they won't be getting dramatically better toast every few years)

On the other hand, this is a subtly worse situation: not only are the replacement products better, but the older product is actually getting worse with time. Imagine buying a car model with a top speed of 100 mph; but during each year of ownership it's top speed drops by 20mph. It is impossible to remain satisfied even at a fixed level of performance if that functionality is continuously eroding.

Kind of a new-age planned obsolescence I guess. Just keep buying!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=2341536]bftb0[/MENTION] I am still using the N7 as my daily driver. I am running trim every two days (it helps especially when there is a lot of write access on your tablet, e.g. installing new apps, etc.) and I have set the background task limit to 4. With these settings on MM I can live quite well. Even if there are from time to time some lags, but most of the time I do not even notice them ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I'm using f2fs for /data and /cache, so explicit "fstrim" is not needed. Which flash memory chip do you have? I think that probably accounts for some of the differences in reports. (The "eMMC" flash memory usage model hides some details of wear leveling and even the basic memory cell type and ECC design within the chip itself - so chips from two vendors can perform similarly at the beginning of their lifespan, but quite differently towards the end as they start to engage in more page replacement activity - the methods they use to implement wear leveling are not mandated to be identical by the eMMC specification)

I have the 32 Gb model with the eMMC flash memory chip apparently mfg'ed by Kingston. (manfid 0x70)

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, it's really late here.

So, basically what happened was I was trying to root my phone which I accomplished and then I tried to install Xposed but when I tried to update it - it wouldn't let me so I had to install the Zip files for it which I forgot. I couldn't update Xposed as it was grayed out. So, I used a program from the Google play store which I forgot the name of fire-something? and then it got stuck on bootup samsung screen and I couldn't get it off. I then looked online and you had to reinstall database to un-brick it. I've been trying to do that with Odin3 ver. 3.09 but it keeps failing with FAIL(SIZE) error and I don't know to fix it.

This it the file i've been trying to use to fix it: G900FXXS1CPG2_G900FVFR1CPF1_VOD

You don't need to extract them, you can open the zip file with 7zip right click on the ext4 file you want to delete then select delete but before doing this put a copy of the complete original zip file in another folder as a backup.

[MENTION=2787780]vuittion[/MENTION] - Sorry mate i've been ill and I don't know anything about this sort of thing.

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

So basically just to check i'm on the same wavelength as you guys, this is the order I do it in, right?

1. Delete Hidden.img.ext4 from the file: G900FXXS1CPG2_G900FVFR1CPF1_G900FXXU1CPD2_HOME.tar (Wont let me btw, just comes up with an error saying not implemented)

2. Use Odin3 whilst my phone is plugged in and use this file: G900FXXS1CPG2_G900FVFR1CPF1_G900FXXU1CPD2_HOME.tar.md5 - in AP box.

3. And then download the PIT file for Galaxy S5 (UK) (Vodaphone) from here: sammobile(dot)com/forum/showthread(dot)php?t=30119 (which one for the UK 900F model?) and then put it through AP on Odin3?

if not please explain to me with step by step like i'm 5. Sorry about this.

Notes:

Can't use volumeup+power+home it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select in recovery mode in Kies and Try again."

I can do volumedown+power+home to go into download mode

Also, sorry i've been ill so i'm probably being really stupid right now.

sorry and thanks for help.

Instead of flashing the Vodafone bloatware firmware flash the latest UK BTU firmware which isn't full of crapware, using this firmware you wont need to flash a pit file.

What is required to develop WM6 software ? How can I write a "hello world" code in basic steps ?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrmrmrmr:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Visual Studio 2005 will do the trick.

After that, get the SDK for your intended platform. WM2003,WM5 or WM6. And create a new project, select VB and look for your target device environment. Create a form based application, double click the form, and in the formload sub add this code:

Msgbox("Hello World")

This will pop up a message box saying hello world. I wasn't incredibly detailed, since I'm assuming you've done some software development on different environments before, correct?

I couldn't get the following value to a greater value than 0 no matter what I 've done:

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.ConnectionsNetworkCount

or

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.SystemState.ConnectionsCount

I have activesync and wlan connected; I even connected to gprs but this value is always 0.

any idea ?

is it different on some devices ?

How do I remove this feature?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
To disable pin at boot, go to the setting (settings > security > screen lock > pin) and set the pin code again. This will bring up a prompt to use the pin at boot, say no.

Deselecting pin at boot defeats the point of encrypting your phone since the files are accessible through TWRP with no added protection.

Scroll down to post 3 to get the Beast

So i had abunch of cofee and stayed up screwing with this.

I am completly shocked at what doesnt

i haver never had any player that comes close to this onkyo app

Whats so special ?

the spp has a file (preset) it cantains 11 srrings with preset frequencies. each freq string had a gain value if (0)

The apps Eq let you adjust each up to a value of 12.

So i added Like 38 bands and spaced them closer at the bottom end.

Also the gain strings that were (0)

These strings Now have values like 1600,1700

Yeah, I am not kidding , i run it through my liittle Shark speaker snd is fricken Awaesome

Now i tried it on a stock unrooted Galaxy S5 without any equalizer or anything. I crapped my pants It scared m

i can onlg imagine if it was bluetooth to a fat Onkyo with a couple Velodynes.

Or maybe a car setup

It will make cheap bluetooth speakers sound more exoensive

But be careful.

Its a little weird since the app thinks theres 11 quiet bands.

once you get its gonna apply some gains even if you turn it off.

I havent trues manipulating the bands in tge apps eq inividually. I raise the whole bar at once Or one side or the other

I am gonna say it may use more Memory than most music players .Probably more juice too

Have fun
[Android General] 7gill:
Well call this The Bass Edition

its Basically the same With an aditional 12 or so bands

added the Low end

We now go from 31.25 to 500 in increments of 25

(after 500 theres a couple 50 then 100 increments With about gaps of 500 in the upper end.

I can guarantee you wont be missin any boom
[Android General] 7gill:
The Beast

This will work for any phone it will install to. Makes music sound awesome on any speaker. But this is now not and irdinary average music player anymore. I am gonna guess there is no app anywhere that has this huge array of bands

Also the added gains are huge Originally the app could add gain of 12 . there about 1950 at low end 1800 at the top

This will probaly give you more than most audio mod packages that need to be installed to you system

i am hoping you can connect to a $ 5000 00 stereo and nobodyvwill believe your 50 dollar phone is powering it

It was originally 11 bands when i started i added 70 maybe more. Makin arounx 80 band eq.

The bands at the bottom are clustered very close with extra gain. To help you get that low end rumble we all want.

Much of the low end sounds do not come from the surface of the speakers face, but eminates from the encloser, So you need to get the surface to move back and forth slamming air particles into the walls of the speaker box

i am now hearing notes and beats from music I was never able to hear before Even on an unmodified phone.

Some albums i have are old and recorded at low rates They used to sound crappy .

This mod improves greatly

Having the Onkyo Unlocker will activate the upsampler and a couple other features .

Edit: : YEAH BE PREPARED .THIS WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY QUICKER THAN A REGULAR MUSIC PLAYER
