[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Katmeat:
No unlocked bootloader or TWRP on the Verizon S7E yet, but they are working on it. Xposed apparently can be flashed through Flashfire. I know from experience with a Samsung tablet that Knox presents problems with bootloader unlocks. I am now on the Nexus 6P and new innovative ways are in place now to allow root and Xposed without touching the system, so as to preserve Android Pay. One of the problems with tripping Knox that I see on the VS7E discussions is that it breaks Samsung Pay, so hopefully, work arounds similar to the system-less root on the 6P will be developed.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
As time goes on and I get newer phones I lose interest in root capabilities. Honestly there is very little on my Nexus 6 that requires root. Many developers have gone to the trouble to make most of the good apps work without root. I give no cares about custom firmware anymore. It's always an exercise in patience as something is always broken, or you have to maintain the kernel and custom recovery and OS all separately. Make sure not to update your kernel version XXX unless you are on baseband YYY...... it's really exhausting..... I have had cell phones since cell phones existed. My first computer ran 4.7Mhz..... I'm really tired of chasing the next new thing. I've owned every Note except the Note 2 and Note 5 and on those years I had a Galaxy S model. Honestly the stock Samsung experience is good. Also most of the really useful SPen features and other features get broken once you root and rom and custom kernel and recovery and all that.... so, root or not. Whatever.

You may get it and will lose Samsung Pay once rooted. Sure you want it? The only reason I want it is for non-provisioned tethering off my UDP but even then it'll be hard to sacrifice Samsung Pay. Guess that's why I keep my OG Droid Turbo around :p
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Samsung pay is not a big deal, you still have to carry your cards and license so it's almost pointless these days. Now when they make license digital, that we be different as you no longer week need a wallet
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Yeah, Samsung pay is such a gimmick in my opinion.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] droidstyle:
The biggest reason I left Samsung is lack of updates through the carrier. The Note 7 is releasing with 6.0.1 and I have had 6.0.1 for a year on my Nexus 6. I really like every thing about the Note 7, but I am going to hold off and see what the new Nexus is first.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
I disagree. Samsung Pay has been a great for me as I don't need to carry any credit cards anymore in my wallet (resulting in a much thinner wallet which is important). I carry a wallet at all times irregardless of digital payments as I bet most people have the same mindset. Also the fact that it works ubiquitously in any store with any old card swiper (unlike android pay or apple pay) is such a huge advantage. Plus the promotions are great.

Not to be a shill but Samsung Pay is not the gimmick people make it out to be. To have root and lose this capability would be a big sacrifice IMO.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Joha-:
Hi , im kind of new to all this so please bear with me.

So i cant sign in with google anymore it just crashes then restarts Pokemon Go ,

the phone is an Alcatel Pixi 4 model 4034D it comes with (marshmallow) Android v6.0.

Before i rooted it i could login fine ,

but since it was not really playable i looked for a way to increase fps.

Sadly i can't even login now , after three days of trial and error to learn how to root it :p

I unlocked the bootloader , then installed the latest TWRP on it and Phh's SuperUser.

Got all my files from a tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/android/general/alcatel-one-touch-pixi-4-t3376597/page10

Used Root Checker to confirm its rooted, installed Gltools.

The program works fine, started messing around with the settings seen from videos or forums.

Turned it off , too see what that would do.

Reinstalled Pokemon Go like three times.

I tried basically every root hider app from Google Play , thinking that might be the problem with no effect.

I have this feeling that im missing something.

All help appreciated , much thanks in advance :)

Edit: Fixed it by disabling the developer options , thank god!

If you cant disable it , you need to go to Settings>Apps , then find Settings>Storage and finally clear data.

Now your Settings are reset and developer options is again hidden where it was.

I managed to have LTE Working on te Fido/Rogers Network.

Without modifying anything with QXDM

Juste do that (Test with Rogers and Fido)

Modify directly the APN default with ltemobile.apn (for fido and rogers) and restart the phone

Next check the mobile Networks available and you will have Fido 4G or Rogers Wireless 4G the network will switch automatically on 4G.

I believe in this case only the band 7 is used but LTE Discovery can't show me the band i use (even with root)

Even with your suggestion, I'm unable to use band 7 for Rogers, however the tower is like couple of kms away (3-4) so maybe that's the reason why I'm unable to reach it. What I did and that may be the reason why I'm unable to reach it, I reinstalled completly my phone through fastboot since I wanted to remove anything that the seller could have added...

Since I can't connecct on lte, ltemobile.apn removes me of any Internet I could get, I put back internet.com and it was working again but slowly.

Last question on my side, do you use the sim card in slot one or in slot 2 or an hybrid one? I start to think that maybe slot 1 can only achieve 3g connection. I saw couple of answers leading that way.

Hi guys,

I decompiled the file that was causing the key to be set back on (AllowLockScreen) and successfully disabled it. The culprit is in C:\windows\system32\LogonController.dll

You will need to get a hex editor to do this. This is for the 64-bit version, 10.0.14393.0, with md5sum of 3a12a4ce74b958564c0e4346869fcd8c.

This address location jump to file location 0x156EE, It should look like this:

75 4A 48 8B 8C 24 etc

Change the 75 to 74 (jump not zero to jump zero), save it and replace the LogonController.dll in your system folder.

You'll have to take ownership and then rename the file, and drop the new one in its place. Reboot and voila!

Hi darkfires!

Love your stuff!

I think you posted elsewhere on the net the final v.3 fix for this that is:

(This is better than what's posted in the first thread)

0xBF50 48 89 5C 24 08 -> C3 90 90 90 90

It works perfect for me except one small caveat, and that is that returning from "Sleep" sometimes give you a black screen?.

Hitting the keyboard a few times solves that issue as the login screen then "re-appears".

Any other way to patch this dll, adressing this issue to make it "perfect"?

I was wondering, what disassembler tool did you use to get this output?:

Would be nice to get some newbie tips on this as this stuff interests me, thanks ! :)
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] darkfires:
Hi,

Sorry I didn't get a notification anyone had replied to this thread for some reason! I posted an updated version here that fixes black screen http://repo.ezzi.net/nolock/. And I used IDA to decompile it, send me a PM if you're interested in a copy of it. I had to target a totally different function than what I originally was.

I actually started out by targeting the difference from pre-anniv which was automatically setting the registry key. So that worked in most cases but not all, and instead I targeted the function that checked the key instead and made it return false every time.

As for the 0xBF50 48 89 5C 24 08 -> C3 90 90 90 90, the first part is the file offset, and the rest are op codes. You can look up x86 opcodes on google and get the hex values. The first 5 are actually a single instruction (instruction, address and value), C3 is retn (forces function to return) and 90 are all NOP (no operation). It's pretty trivial with the right tools and some patience :)
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] dobbelina:
Hi again

And thanks for the updated info!

I actually figured out you were using IDA in my quest to dig deeper.

I got a copy, and I really like the graphical overview which makes it easy to navigate between the numerous functions.

This machine language stuff is not as easy to digest though lol! :eek:

But thanks for the pointers.

Btw, I was wrong about your patch causing a blackscreen!

This one:0xBF50 48 89 5C 24 08 -> C3 90 90 90 90

It had nothing to do with the patch, but was/is a quirk with VMware when going into sleep mode.

The patch works 100% perfect.

The Home version uses the same dll, I have checked, same MD5.

I'll get back in this thread when I have done some more studying.

It's not that much that the lockscreen is bothering me,

It's just the challenge to get rid of it that's firing me up, because MS decided they should decide it for us.

//EDIT

Would this be the same place to patch 32Bit version as well?:

Thanks! :victory:

Hi all!

This topic is for those that don't like the lockscreen.

When the anniversary update came, the option to disable this was removed.

There are a few tricks out there to somewhat disable it, but none of

those works from boot.

This solution does.

Earlier I made a patch for LogonController.dll, that has worked beatifully

until today, when the KB3189866 update came out and replaced it.

So I made an autopatcher instead.

Even if a new update replace the patched dll,

just run the autopatcher again!

(It is always the same bytes that need replacing), and it will probably

be a long time before they update this dll again.

It's very easy to use, first run the "Take_Ownership.cmd" file as

Administrator, then run LogonController_Patch.exe also as Admin

and point it to:

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogonController.dll

And click Start, Done!

It automatically creates a backup of your old LogonController.dll.

Works for both Home & Pro and all Languages, just choose

right architecture.

Architecture x86

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

Thanks "darkfires" for the inspiration to patch LogonController.dll !
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] darkfires:
Awesome job man! You learn quick :)

You could also combine both arch's into a single script if you wanted, just check %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == AMD64 for 64, if you're using C or whatever GetSystemInfo() should do it as well. I was going to make an auto-patcher but haven't had much free time lately as I would have hoped, so I am thrilled to see you did that! I'm not sure how the one you wrote works but it's not entirely safe to assume the location of the patch will never change in newer versions. I was looking into making something that downloaded the associated pdb from microsoft and verify the function location from that (that's how IDA is able to put useful labels on the functions), which would make it dynamically work if the offset ever did change. So I would recommend you make another script that is easy to run from advanced recovery command prompt that would restore the original if it ever changed and they couldn't login, just in case. However I think it's safe to say it's very unlikely this would be a problem until their next major build (the only reason it changed this time was to fix a security vulnerability)

Keep up the great work!
