I rooted my G3 Verizon with Kingroot and tired installing Twrp Bumped with Flashify but when I boot into recovery I get error Secure Boot error please help. I am running Android 5.1.1
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Please in the future make question threads in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.

Installing TWRP on anything above 12B (KitKat) is more complicated than just what you did. Also, KingRoot is a really bad idea, it's very invasive, only provides temporary root gone every time you reboot, requiring re-rooting and needs an internet connection when it roots. It installs more stuff than required for rooting and it's not clear if it reports back private information.

This is the proper way to get root and TWRP:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadlockfx:
Hello everyone,

i am currently trying one last time to recover my Fire TV Stick. It lay on my shelf with a boot loop for quite a white (sometime in 2015),

but i thought i give it one last try and ask you guys for help.

So i bought a fastboot/a-to-a usb cable, to connect it, and i can actually connect via adblink v2.0.5, that is, the adb shell shows

"shell@montoya", and i can see its file system, although i don't know if i have root access.

First some facts:

- Fire TV Stick "Codename Montoya"

- Possibly Firmware 5.0.51 or the next one that came along (5.2.1.0 ? - can i find this out via adb?)

- no custom recovery

- may have root access due to KingRoot app, SuperSU

- i installed some desktop / app manager app, maybe even with auto boot mode (to kodi, i think it was firestarter)

- boots to animated "Fire TV Stick" logo

- usb adb connection is stable, so no reboots or actual "loop", just the animated logo

How i ****ed it up:

- at the time, i had the vulnerable 5.0.5 firmware on the stick, and found out about the KingRoot method, wanted to stop

amazon pushing further updates, as i was quite content with the status quo

- i am/was a big fool trying kingroot via sideloaded .apk, then remove/replace with superSU because i didnt trust kingroot

- i got lucky, as it actually rooted my device after several runs, but then i could not remove kingroot, as it wouldnt let me

- i think i tried some root apps manager to remove kingroot, thats when the boot loop problem happened

- i thought i was an even bigger fool trying to recover the stick via pushing the buttons on the remote at boot, as it could have

reset the fire stick, so it is not connecting to wifi/adb would be disabled

Luckily, as it turns out, i can still access via adb, so maybe not everything is lost?

Back then I hadn't used adb much, only to sideload apks to the firetv stick, so i am not sure if there is any possibility to recover the stick.

Can you point me in the right direction? From here on i don't have a clue what to do/look for on the device.

Logs? Error messages? Whatever may help you to help me, just ask!

Thank you very much! Any help is appreciated! :)

Greetings from Germany

This looks like i do actually have root access, right?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Im almost fully certain that you will be able to recover the stick with Windows version of KINGOROOT. Not KING ROOT, KINGO ROOT. Install this on to a windows laptop or pc and make sure your adb drivers are installed.

Connect your Fire stick up to pc with USB lead and run the KINGO ROOT pc application.

This should restore your messed up su files and boot you back up.

If you are on 5.0.5.1 try it numerous times. As 5.0.5.1 seems to work for some but not others. Good luck.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadlockfx:
Thanks, im going to try that right away!

Do you know if Kingo Root is safe? Its one thing to fiddle with on android devices, another on my home laptop...

My virus scanner warns me of a PUA/InstallCore(gen) when i try to start it.

Edit:

Just went with it, and it concluded sucessfully! Connected it to the power suppy, and it went from the white amazon logo to the color fire tv animated logo, but not any further :(

But at least, when i connect via adb, it now shows

So the rooting process worked and i have proper root now!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_mamba:
Hello all,

I am on Sprint in the US and last night I flashed Pure Nexus. During the first boot I was getting a bit impatient and I skipped the activation step with plans to activate the phone once I completed setup. After I got everything set up I went into the settings and chose cellular networks>carrier settings>update device config and Update PRL. This activated voice and data so I thought I was all good.

After getting to work today, my friend showed me where he had attempted to text me a few times and gotten a message that said "The recipient you are sending to has chosen not to receive messages". I am thinking this is as a result of me skipping activation. Is there any way I can re-enable SMS or do I need to re-flash?

Thanks!

I use PowerAmp to play all my music. I found Dolby Atmos app on my Axon 7. But I could not turn it ON while my Poweramp player is playing. Also what is use of Dolby Atmos and how it works ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] max1001:
Atmos is just a software eq. You can just stick with PowerAmp eq if you want. If you have FLAC music and want to use the hi-fi DAC, you will have to use the ZTE music app. The DAC doesn't work outside of the app from what I can tell.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
I'm pretty sure you can if you enable MusicFX in the Advanced Tweaks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] max1001:
That's software equalizer. Hi-fi DAC is hardware component.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
Checking MusicFX means it will use the phone's built-in EQ which is the Dolby Atmos one which should use the Hi-Fi DAC.

EDIT: Ok I guess I was wrong, but it is possible to use the Hi-Fi DAC with Poweramp 3.0 Alpha! See HERE

I am also not familiar with ZTE software update policy. Not sure if it will get updated as often and as long like Google Nexus phones.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tele_jas:
Shuttle (and Shuttle+) work well with Dolby Atoms, just disable the built in EQ.

DON'T use "n7 Player" - Before their update, it messed up Dolby and I had to reset my phone twice (a 3rd time was my fault). After their latest update, it renders Dolby Atoms useless and when you try to enable it, it restarts the phone (had to reset my phone twice). Thanks to n7 (my favorite player) not playing well with Dolby Atmos, I've had to reset my phone a total of 5 times since getting it 3 weeks ago.

Someone on the Zte forums said you need to disable direct volume control and BT direct volume control in the settings. In order to get power amp to work with Dolby.

And I can confirm that I am able to use the hifi setting and Dolby with Tidal. Which actually makes the music sound better to me than my dp-x1 onkyo player, which makes me mad cause that thing cost me 800$ lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mjoshi123:
where are this under settings ? Couldn't find it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Der_Meister01:
Dolby Atoms "enhances" the sound with a equalizer and a virtualizer (making it sourroundlike). Poweramp bypasses most equalizer by processing directly with ALSA. You can change this by deactivating direct volume control in advanced audio settings (in audio settings obviously). However I don't recomment it, becouse at least with good headphones its an downgrade of the sound, but for Videos its pretty amazing. If you want a really good Equalizer, try Viper4Android.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Der_Meister01:
Spotify at extreme settings plays 320kbit mp3, but the chip will still do the work. (Unless ZTE did something stupid here). Hifi stands for good quality and will be there even when you don't play High Res Audio but the Quality won't be as good of course.

I'd quite like to know when the better DAC is used and when it's not....
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ludovicien:
I'm surprised this subject isn't generating more interest.

There is no information anywhere on how the dac works. Some reviewers are happy to say it just 'has a dac'. Well, so does every mobile phone and Dab radio.

There are two sound control settings on my EU model:

-Headset HiFi (with standard or super setting, which just seems to raise the volume)

-Dolby Atmos which is the only equalizer available for the built-in music player as well as Spotify and Play Music.

Dolby Atmos is the only way us Europeans can get any power out of this phone, especially if you use volume leveller which boosts volume without destroying dynamics (well, not too badly).

Atmos has movies, music and dialogue presets that are totally forgettable and QUIET.

You can get much better sound on Atmos by using one of the manual presets which can be renamed. However, while moving the sliders allows you to hear that this phone has some headroom in bass and especially treble, the app is broken, as the sliders fall back to the flat position as soon as you take your finger off the screen. There is a long thread about this precise problem with Atmos on the Lenovo forums dating back to May 15 and which remains unresolved.

Worse, the app is broken in another way - while the manual presets are available to use with any audio app (Spotify, TuneIn), as soon as you get a notification or perform one of a number of functions (flashlight, hotspot) Atmos automatically switches you to the appropriate preset, in this case music, so the volume and dynamics plunge.

This phone is a bit of a mess.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Honestly Annoying:
Posting this here because it seems that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] prefers to do technical work publicly, and I think we need his help.

This is the userdebug boot image for the LG G5. I also have a flashable TOT with this in it so it it is actually usable, but I (nor anyone else that I am aware of) will provide that until we have it 100% working as we don't want any possibility or rooting someone's phone. These were both provided by tungkick, so if anyone wants to donate or give thanks they belong to her (I am just the messenger for now as her english is not very good).

The userdebug boot has root enabled by default, but the system is in read-only mode (just like how the Galaxy S7 was with its eng boot). It would be EXTREMELY helpful if someone who knows what they are talking about (i.e. Chainfire) could take a look at this and talk to tungkick through Skype or PM. We also have a Skype chat and if you would like to to contribute ways to get this to work I can add you to it :)

EDIT: I am adding the flashable TOT with the userdebug boot.img. If you attempt to flash this PLEASE have a backup of your data in case something goes wrong!!! I believe this should work on all variants, so please post if this works for you!

*You may brick your device, break your phone, or start a nuclear war with this. I am warning you now, please take this into consideration before you go around flashing things*

It is actually the userdebug kernel, not eng. Fixed that.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JF-GINO:
Ah, hmmm. Again, I might be talking out my buthole but.....

If this is a user-debug build, ADB commands that didnt work before might work now no? An enginering build would have root by default but a user debug build might have enough for you to push through & use commands that might not work on a normal build.

For example, Have you guys tried to use 'adb disable-verity' on this build? Pushing SU for root would be easy at this point no?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Honestly Annoying:
You are 100% correct, but in order to do that we have to run the system as userdebug also.

When we put the userdebug kernel inside the userdebug TOT, it gives a bootloop. This is because on a standard user build the data is set to encrypt, while userdebug is unencrypted. Since our userdebug system is TECHNICALLY a user system (all we did is change the build.prop to userdebug), it throws a bootloop. If we can get past that then we would be good to go and everything would work, such as disabling dm-verity and then pulling that dm-verityless boot.img and pushing it regularly.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JF-GINO:
Wait,. so if the kernel already has encryption disabled,. then Im not sure where the problem is. Encription is not on the Rom level, its located in the ramdisk on of the kernel.

Maybe you should :

A) flash your TOT

b) then push your kernel

c) then 'fastboot format userdata' - wipe it,

reboot and see if it takes?

Or is there encryption or a hash check in the bootloader?

Also, what are you adding to your build.prop?

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1 ??

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
Bootloader checks if the further images (boot, recovery, system) are signed digitally - if not, either it won't boot, or if the BL is unlocked, it will display a quite nice warning about the system being insecure.

Encryption check is not enforced, but if encryption is disabled WHILE userdata is encrypted, it will bootloop. Your method of wiping data should work (or flashing the TOT without userdata and formatting the device).
