I have enabled the phone lock(pin) and SIM lock from the system settings on my oneplus 3.

Now my question is that can these locks be wiped through recovery(Official one plus 3 recovery)?

I was thinking that it may serve as theft deterrent. But I may be wrong as I am new to Android.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lummujaj:
You can wipe screen lock pin but not Pin lock. Pin lock is stored in your sim card memory. Also do not forget after you wipe if you had previous gmail account synced it will ask for it again after ...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sukhdev84:
Thanks for your reply.

Also can anyone install TWRP or any other recovery and then wipe my full phone and install the any custom Rom?

Will my phone then also ask for previous Gmail account login? My only concern here is how good is the anti theft feature of Android.

In apple if someone steals my iPhone then he will not be able to use it even if he fully restores my device. It will ask for the Apple ID and password.

Will that thing happen in Android also?
[Verizon LG G4] greedness:
As many of you guys know, some people have hard bricked (qualcomm 9008). Personally, I bricked mine by downgrading to 11A. Someone might've found a solution, but we need help from someone with a rooted phone. It includes dumping some files, putting it into an SD card and running it from there long enough to access download mode to install a new kdz into the internal storage.

This has already allegedly worked with the H811 variants.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Is your phone C6902? Why in the world would you want to flash antiquated 4.2.2, especially if your bootloader is unlocked. The unlocking guide specifically states you have to be at least on 4.3 in order not to lose camera. If your phone is C6902 and you flashed C6903, you have a wrong baseband.

No. You can't use another phone's TA backup, unless you want to brick your phone.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
I am not familiar with SOL23, but if your bootloader is locked, there is no permanent damage. You just need to re-flash the original firmware for SOL23. Try to repair it with Sony flashtool...

You have to restore your phone to original, then, if you want to unlock bootloader, do a TA backup, so that you can restore DRM function in case you would want to relock. If you unlock without backing up, you will lose your DRM key forever...

I've already done factory reset and although I forget first google account I still remember second one, unfortunately after login in android asked for new account and after I created it I forget this password as well. Unfortunately ui has stopped again and I did second factory reset - this time the only one account I still got password won't pass me through configuration phase. System recognizes me ( I see my avatar) but doesn't pass me through with this account. Recently Ulefone changed androidROM to 6 and I haven't done this yet and although new system seems to be corrupted and with lots of malware ( even ulefone on their facebook page admitted it) I wonder if flashing rom could help. I have do this from my pc since I can't have acces to my phone and - this is the best part :(- my windows can't see Vienna at all only Linux recognizes it. Is there any help?

Fire Tv 2 Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520) "Waiting for preloader" problem.

Hello.

I apologize in advance if I am breaking any rules, Sorry.

I am trying to root Fire Tv 2 Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520). I am using the A-to-A USB Cable Method. I follow all the steps. Until I reach to the part where I Run the install_firetv2_recovery.bat file by double clicking it. While it says “Waiting for preloader…” I connect the A-to-A USB cable to the Fire TV and then power up the Fire TV. Nothing happens after that, the computer stays on "Waiting for preloader".

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Please help!
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Driver shows with a yellow warning for me as well. are you sure your are using a correct type cable?
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
thank you very much, bula1ca, I very much appreciate your help.

you mean A-A usb cable? On the guide it says any any length or version/speed will do. The cable I am using is connected to the usb port of computer one side, the other side is connected to usb port of fire tv. The usb cable I think works ok, because, as the guide suggests, first I connect the computer to fire tv, and computer is able to detect the fire tv.

Installation of VCom drivers doesn't depend on a-a usb cable, right? On all 5 computers (3 of mine, 2 of neighbors) the mediatek drivers show with a yellow warning.

thank you again for your help.

Please help.
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Do me a favor connect everything to the computer but do not plug your FireTV yet (cord unplugged), now start the bat file and when you get the "Waiting for preloader" massage plug FireTv cord into the wall. Post back your findings
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
Thank you, bula1ca, very much for your help and for not giving up on me.

I did everything as you said, connected everything, but the fire tv, started the bat file, and then plugged fire TV's cord on the wall. The same result, "Waiting for preloader...". I did this many times, the same results.

Thank you again for your help, I appreciate it.

Please help.
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Are you running the bat file as administrator...not sure if this will change anything but give it a try also take a picture of your install drivers in Device Manager and post it here. The reason you get this "Wait for preloader" is:

- drivers not installed properly

- cable used is not an A to A cable or is defected.

- firetv was plugged in prior running the bat file
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
Thank you very much, bula1ca, I appreciate your help very much. I got a shot of device manager and I am attaching it.

When I connect fire tv to computer with A-A usb cable, the computer sees the fire tv. Do you think that is an indication that the cable is ok?

Thank you again for your help.

Please help.
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Do one more test.

- start script, Firetv power off and disconnected from computer

- connect it to computer

- power it on (plug it into the wall)

I am wondering if your cable is not a power cable only and does not carry data...

Take a picture of the device manager now, it should show being connected also take a look at this guide as well maybe you missed something ...http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-the-amazon-fire-tv-2/

BTW this is what I used (just in case you need one) https://www.amazon.com/C2G-54171-Ma...d=1473723835&sr=1-3&keywords=a+to+a+usb+cable
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
Thank you very much, bula1ca, I very much appreciate your help.

Thank you for the link for the cables, but I wanted to do a test using new cables as soon as possible, so I went out and bought a new power usb a-a cable, very expensive. I followed the guide, everything clean, starting from scratch, from the first line of the guide until "waiting for preloader....." Nothing after that. By the way, when I Install MTK65XX Preloader USB VCom drivers, everything looks the same as before on Device Manager, the same snapshot as the one I attached on my previous post.

The only thing left to suspect is the fact that I bought it brand new, and it comes with Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520). I have stopped the updates. I am checking every time, and it shows Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520). I know that Fire TV 2 Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520) is rootable, and Fire TV 1 Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520) is not rootable. So, are they still selling Fire TV 1? Mine says 4k ultra hd with alexa. So, I believe that's fire tv 2, right?

I know that I am bugging you a lot, bula1ca, so thank you, truly for all your replies.
[Fire TV General] cybero2912:
make sure that USB debugging is enabled in Fire TV settings

check if ADB is working by running

adb devices

on your PC before using the batch
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
You have a FireTv2. Problem is program does not handshakes with your unit. I do not know if this will help (it should not) but connect it back to the TV and enable USB debugging under Developer Options (as cybero2912 suggested above) in Settings and then redo the whole process and post back.

If this will not work you can root it with kingoroot and then follow the procedure. Below is a different option of rooting.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root...covery-and-a-pre-rooted-rom-all-without-a-pc/
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
Thank you very much bula1ca, cybero2912 and anyone who is helping me now and in the future.

I checked on adb debugging and usb debugging on fire tv, they were on. I ran the command: adb devices. I got this reply:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device"

I substituted the numbers with "X". Then I run batch file: I got: "Waiting for preloader..."I tried many things, closed the window, run batch, shut down everything, repeat everything.

I tried Kingroot following the guide bula1ca suggested. I tried Kingoroot. Root failed every time.

Sorry, everyone, I know this is frustrating you too.

Thank you again for all your help.
[Fire TV General] cybero2912:
maybe you mentioned it earlyer (writing from Phone and too lazy to read entire thread again)... but on which Fire OS version you are right now?
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
No problem, cybero2912, every suggestion is a good on, thank you for your help. I just checked it: Version 5.0.5.1 (Build 537175520). And software update blocking is working, it gives me an error when I try to update.

What about the ADB, do you think it's ok from the data I gave on the previous post? I checked online about ADB, and one suggestion was about ADB shell. They suggested to find sdk folder on my computer. I couldn't find it anywhere. Could that be the problem?

Thank you again for all the help, appreciate it.
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Your best bet is still the A to A cable method for this firmware. Kingroot\Kingoroot did not work on all boxes.
[Fire TV General] cybero2912:
from where do you get the plattform-tools (ADB Tools) when I rooted my AFTV1 I used latest SDK from Google
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
I followed the guide that bula1ca wrote on his previous post:

"http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-...zon-fire-tv-2/"

" Step 2: Prepare Computer and Fire TV

1.If you haven’t done so yet, setup ADB and Fastboot on your computer by following this guide."

I can't write full links here, I am not allowed, right? But I follow the guide from aftnews.

Thank you, cybero2912, for pointing that out. When I tried to google: "SDK from Google", I got:

Google App Engine SDK for Python

Google App Engine SDK for Java

Google App Engine SDK for PHP

Google App Engine SDK for Go

I have no idea how to proceed, can you please advise what to install? Do I have to uninstall the old sdk, can you please tell me how, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you.

have you followed the guide carefully? especially this part:
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:

I follow exactly that guide and I am very careful about the procedure and the part that you highlighted.
[Fire TV General] cybero2912:
to be honest I'm out of ideas

but your problem is that your PC is not able to communicate with your fire TV when you boot it up

reasons could be problem with drivers or cable
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
No problem, cybero2912, it's not meant to be.. Thank you, bula1ca and cybero2912 for all your replies and help, I appreciate it. I, too, think we tried everything. All I wanted root on fire tv is so I could install vpn. Anyone has reported working vpn's on fire tv without root?
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Have you tried to delete all drivers, reboot and re-install them?
[Fire TV General] cybero2912:
try this thread

but no guarantee this will work - I never tested it...
[Fire TV General] qwe_123:
Thank you, bula1ca and cybero2912 for all your replies and help, I appreciate it.

bula1ca, I installed a fresh new windows 7 on my pc, installed everything following the guide, everything stops at "Waiting for preloader...".

cybero2912, I read the thread. A lot of confused people there. I couldn't get a definitive answer as to which service works on a fire tv 2 without root. Also, there is a question of Proxy vs. Vpn. Proxy just changes your ip, without encryption. Vpn encrypts your internet traffic. Many people there were looking just to change their ip, so they can access Prime or Netflix of US, but not encryption. How can I truly know that my internet traffic is encrypted? That's what's most important for me.
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
What driver did you install (post its entire name.inf)?

PM me with an email address. I will send you the driver I installed on mine (I still believe it is a driver issue) however before installing them remove the old one, reboot, install new drivers, reboot and then run the bat file as an administrator.

At the moment, I wanna test something out with the cpu. Is there anyway that I can totally disable core(s) even on boot?

For specifically, I just wanna disable the multi-thread funtion, not the main 2 cores. Could you help me?
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febry_valdy:
Not sure, but you can use kernel adiutor or cpu frill to disable them. DWYOR

Nt: Disable the threads just the same with disable main core.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muratkorayozkan:
You can disable cores with 2 way and easy way is ;

Unpack ramdisk of kernel and add this line to any .rc file, for example init.power.redhookbay.rc

If it has "on property:sys.boot_completed=1", add this line "write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online 0" this will disable core 2

Pack again and flash kernel

You can't disable main core only

It all depends on your personal preferences.

Stock provides the best stability and performance with good battery life. But if you want to try, go for Boeflla Kernel.

Try stock, GreenApple v1 and Duki mms v1.9 beta kernel each for a week

Which ever you feel it's good use it

Because each has their own settings and battery life and performance will vary

So I recommend you to try all three each for a period of one week :)

Quoting from this thread on the Oneplus Forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/use-sd-card-as-internal-storage-cant-also-with-6-0.460967/

this appears to be the answer.

1. activate USB Debugging on Developer Options

2. download adb tools here and put it in one folder.

3. plug your phone to pc via USB

4. now open windows explorer and "shift + right click" at adb folder, then sellect "open command window here"

5. type "adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true" (without quote) and then press enter

6. unplug your phone and go to setting>storage&usb>SD Card

Hi all,

I've been running TNT 1933 Touchflo for a few of days now, and everything works like a champ.

I do have a question though regarding bluetooth with MS Voice Command 1.6. When I click the button on my bluetooth headset, the phone screen (dialer) comes up, but that's all that happens. I read around, and saw that I may need to change some registry entries. However, my registry entries seem fine:

HKLM\Software\OEM\Voice Command\Path = \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = \Windows\btagext.dll

I ran the program in the Path of the voice command (manually, just by clicking the file), and it did exactly what I needed it to do. The only problem is, that program isn't run when I click the button on the headset. I have a G3 Wizard, IPL/SPL 2.26 with 2.19.11 radio rom (not that it matters). Any suggestions?

Much appreciated. :)
