[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixTheAmateur:
So I got the compatibility patch on my LG-H901. Thinking nothing of it I agreed to install and reboot. Once I had done so, I now have the Yellow Boot Warning at every boot. And also a bunch of my system apps stopped working. Camera, Phone, Music ETC. I don't remember ever flashing a ROM that would trigger the warning seeing as how I got the update to 6.0.1 a few days before and hadn't done anything since. So I flashed back to stock with LGUP through KDZ Full Wipe, and the problems still persist. Now I'm complete stock and the compatibility update is waiting in the update center again. This is my first post and I'd really appreciate the help. (P.S Speakers won't work , and Google apps seem to not work properly either.)

If I choose English (USA) the date on my Today screen has the day in front like this: Thursday, 11 November.. But if I change to English (UK) the day is dropped, like this: 11 November...

How can I edit the registry to use English (UK) but including the day?

The capps zip while installation via TWRP 3.0.2 on Z00A shows error 225 ...

tried mounting system for internal as well as external sd but still didnt work.

copying and pasting the files in root will probably work but those get deleted when i update cm build :/
[ZenFone 2 General] iqbal_mahmuda:
search unofficial capps for asus zenfone 2. Of course the capps files deleted when flashing cm13 since its overwrite the system partition

Copy files to corresponding system directory. Also copy addon script to system/addon.d which help these apps to survive dirty flashing of new update.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Lownita:
Whenever I flash a new rom after a fullwipe, I still have to type in a pin to boot the phone. I think this is called "verified boot". This is also the pin I need in TWRP to decrypt data. So obviously this pin has been stored outside of data or system partitions and is used upon every new install/boot of a new rom to encrypt it immediately upon first boot.

So where is this encryption key stored and how do I delete it?

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DonaldKerabatsos:
I have this exact problem, not sure how to resolve this issue but it seems my phone needs my pin even after wiping the phone.

I would love to fix this, if anybody has any tips that would be great, I am running a OnePlus 3 with root and twrp.

-thanks.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Lownita:
Go to fastboot, type fastboot format userdata. Or go to twrp, wipe, wipe data via the button. This should do the same. Beware that data and your internal storage will get wiped.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Playa82:
to disable the pin you have to do this:

setting>security>screen lock> type PIN> PIN

then you will see Secure start-up ( Require PIN to start device/ No Thank you)

I am almost positive that the boot.img that [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] uploaded to idlekernal is the B20_Boot update, since it came from a post unlocked BL dump from [MENTION=1421381]jkuczera[/MENTION] . It might be good proof of concept that root works, and could provide way to get pre-B20_boot system image. We will need a B18 or B20 full image to confirm ability to root without BL unlock. The 2017G(EU-HK) has a full firmware release B02, i'll see to attach it's boot.img later if you want to spin up a version for them

You can use the Package from Chainfire https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip

Change by hand , i mean you must use a root file manager an rename the new SU binary (ex su.bak) and give him the permission 0777. Than you can rename the exiting one to su.old : Path /root/sbin/su.

and the new one to su.

Edit: use the AMR64 su. binary fron the package

For those who care... as you know, root breaks Android Pay and few other things. What I just found out is that you can root using this method, make whatever changes you need that require root, flash back the stock boot.img. Changes stick and things that got broken by root work once again.

It won't have root access, but say you change your DPI using the normal build.conf method, this will stick.

Anyway, I wanted to revert back to stock, so I uninstalled Xposed and flashed my original boot and recovery, but get stuck at the ZTE logo screen on boot.

I've tried using my TWRP system backup, the ones in this thread but have not had any luck. The only way my phone will boot is with the rooted boot image. I no longer want root.

I think you are probably right. I don't know how to fix that if using stock system backups doesn't work. I may go through the process with installing and uninstalling Xposed again and see if I can get it to work. Otherwise, I will just run with root until I can figure out a solution... Thanks for the suggestions.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] herzzreh:
Are you 100% sure you used the original boot.img?

Try flashing the other boot.img, remove any instance of Xposed and root mgr program and then reflash the stock boot.img. Don't forget to wipe.

I've tried multiple different stock boot.img files plus the one I dumped before any mods. I've also wiped my system and restored using the provided backup...I also tryed my initial twrp backup. Reinstalled Xposed, uninstalled Xposed. Wiped, wiped wiped. Still get stuck at the "ZTE powered by Android" screen when using any boot.image besides the rooted one.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
I have root and xposed working just fine on B20. However, I didn't bother with TWRP.

Here are the steps I took (after dumping boot and recovery of course):

1) Ran Tenfar's app but told it to flash the boot.img only

axon7root -p 4 -b

2) Booted into stock recovery and did a factory reset

3) Booted up and installed PHH's superuser

4) Installed Terminal Emulator in order to turn off system write protection using:

reboot disemmcwp

if you want to do this via abd, it should be this instead:

adb shell reboot disemmcwp

After it booted up, root was working properly and changes I made with root stuck even after reboots.

I do all my flashing with chainfire's Flashfire. Make sure to set selinux to permissive first tho

in terminal emulator:

setenforce 0

I haven't tried backing up and restoring with Flashfire yet...

Anyway, hope this might help someone!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tdgillihan:
Ok, so you're using stock recovery. Are you able to make full backups and restores? And have you tried doing any backups/restores etc with Titanium?

Also, was 4 your port or are you just quoting the op. So many people seem to be missing the part about changing the port to match which port they're actually on.

Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
From what I understand, Flashfire lets you do full backups and restores. I just haven't tried it yet.

As for Titanium, the only thing I've used it for was converting ActionLaunder 3 into a system app.

Yes, 4 was my port. Looking back, I should've left a note somewhere about changing that number to whatever your port happens to be...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] owlbeard:

I installed Xposed using the regular method of installing the arm64 zip from rovo89 and didn't have any problems. I tried uninstall zip & it worked as well. I'm even running gravitybox with no issues so far, granted I haven't enabled too many settings.

P.s. I'm using the material xposed installer, not that it matters
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
Oh you might have to uncheck "mount /system read/write" in order to get it to actually flash without an error.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

As [MENTION=5193676]mmamedov[/MENTION] mentioned, if you have TWRP this is the way to do it. Otherwise, you can flash the same zip using Flashfire (might have to uncheck "mount /system read/write"). Both ways work fine to my knowledge.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] aPexalpha:
I tried u checking it. It simply reboots the phone and nothing seems to have changed. No error or anything. Weird.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
Did you make sure to disable system write protection?

In Terminal

reboot disemmcwp

What should happen after pressing the flash button is:

1) Phone reboots into sort of a live boot (lots of text letting you know what's going on)

2) Phone screen goes dark and then turns back on with a nice big Flashfire title on top

3) Text regarding the flashing process is shown (make sure to read it all)

4) Phone reboots
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] aPexalpha:
I did that ages ago when adaway couldn't write data.

But I did it again and setenforce 0 and tried flashing the zip again. Unchecked mount thingy. Same thing. Just reboots.

Maybe the Chinese version is different in this?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
Try leaving "mount /system read/write" unchecked while making sure "auto mount" is checked. I forget which one I might've had to play with :o
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mmamedov:
Did you make sure to allow system modifications in twrp? Also, are you using the correct zip? It should be the one with arm64 at the end

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
