[General Questions and Answers] Raunak09:
hello,

I am using a virtual box with Ubuntu 16.04 as guest and Windows 10 as host

I have downloaded the binaries such as simg2img img2simg,etc...But whenever i am using the command

sudo ./simg2img system.img sys.raw

i am getting the error

raunak@raunak-VirtualBox:/media/htc_desire$ sudo ./simg2img system.img sys.raw
sudo: unable to execute ./simg2img: No such file or directory

I have also tried the command

sudo chmod +x simg2img

but still i am getting the same error.

Is there any other way to make the binaries executable and is there any other way to extract a raw image of out a spare image and then mount the raw image inorder to obtain the system folder so that i can access files and folders such as apks and jars.

Can anyone please help me how to use the binaries such as simg2img,img2simg,make_ext4fs,etc... relations to extracting a rom in Ubuntu 16.04. I have been trying to get the system folder out of the sparse image since a week but i a unable to do so.And i have a system.img file in the rom folder but i do not know weather its a sparse image or a raw image.So can anyone please tell me how to differentiate between a Sparse image and a Raw image so that i can extract it accordingly.
[General Questions and Answers] Matt07211:
Are the files in the same directory as your terminal is? If not you can use the CD command to change folders or you can use a file explorer and right click open terminal here, and then try running the above commands. Also right click on the files your executing and go to permissions tab and tick the box that says something along the lines of "allow execution of file" (sorry can't remeber of the top of my head).

Also another you can try is using the mount command to mount the system .img to a directory of your choosing and then modify the files. A general example can be

mkdir /temp-sys
mount -o loop auto system.img /temp-sys/

Note: don't use that exact code but do some research as that was also off the top of my head. Good luck.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
Any time you boot up MIUI it replaces stock recovery, so you need boot straight into TWRP.

You need to use a TWRP that patches the boot image or flash Universal Boot Img Patcher (UBP).

Hello, I'm currently running [4.4.2]FireKat Deodex V24XxXRN4 on my rooted N900A along with SafeStrap Recovery. :good:

Is there an easy way to get Magisk installed? Do I need a new ROM? If anyone has process that works please let me know thanks. :o
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeymaru:
I'm working on doing it right now.. currently looking for a way to get a custom recovery without rooting the device.

I was on the same rom as you, I had to use Odin to flash 4.4.4 kit kat (stock), (I did the all in one), Then from there, I was able to put the lollipop stock rom on my sd card, and flash it from stock recovery. Cool, I can now install magisk right? Well, apparently you need a custom recovery for it to actually work, so I'm in search of a way to get a custom recovery atm. I still ended up flashing magisk anyway as a test, but in the magisk manager, it says "Magisk v" with no number, so I assume it isn't installed, since the systemless su also isn't working.

So far, I have found the TWRP isn't support for n900a, SafeStrap requires root, clockworkmod requires root.. so I might have to root, then install it? then uninstall root? Idk, I've been googling around and reading for days now preparing to do all this.

If I figure something out, I'll edit my post and tell you how I did it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
CWM and TWRP will not work on the n900a due to its locked bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeymaru:
Yup. Your best option is to use SafeStrap. To do that, you need to Downgrade to 4.4.2, use towel root, root the device, install supersu, update (reboot) remove knox, install busy box, install safe strap, install recovery. Reboot into recovery, flash lollipop rooted, after this, factory reset, and then reboot. (Your safestrap will no longer work, well normally, you CAN use it, comment in the link I'm going to post explains how).

"Heisenberg 14 April 2015 at 02:21

It is possible to have Safestrap after you install Lollipop.

How to Access Safestrap Recovery

Since Safestrap Recovery does not support Lollipop officially, here is a workaround to access it after updating your AT&T Note 3 using the Safestrap method from above.

Long press the the Power button to bring up Power Menu.

Select Safestrap Recovery from the Reboot Menu.

Now you can use Safestrap for purposes like backing up, restoring and flashing ROMs.

* * * * * * * * * * * DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU USE SAFESTRAP OR BOOTLOOP * * * * * * * * * * *

When you are done with using Safestrap, return to main menu and tap the Install option.

Navigate to /sdcard/OC1_Kernel/, select SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip and flash this file.

* * * * * * * * * * * DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU USE SAFESTRAP OR BOOTLOOP * * * * * * * * * * *

Having flashed the file, you can exit Safestrap by selecting Reboot> System option."

Now, you have a rooted 5.0 stock rom. Other than that, you can't do much else, it depends on your needs.

Follow this step by step to get rooted 5.0 lollipop. (Hopefully it is ok to post a link, I can verify that all the steps work, I have done it already).

My sister has been playing Pokemon Go with galaxy note 2 (n7100) last month and now she can't login due to new update (0.37) that restricts use of any custom ROMs I assume. I've tried removing and hiding root but no luck. There is DN4 rom installed and it is so good that I don't like to change it without purpose. Can someone share your experience with this game? Can you play it using modded/stock 4.4.2 roms? Or maybe using Magisk on newer roms?.. What a cruel way to ruin childern mood, Niantic! :rolleyes:

Hi, i've the same issue.

I'm french user, i tried "hide my root" apk, i never cheat with the root it only necessary for me to block ads and because of cheaters we are blocked !

I have no success with hiding root.

Is the 0.37 update upgrade the test of compatible device and made the GN2 definitively unavailable or is the root ability which made issues ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black.marque:
So.. just a thought.. but technically if I am not mistaken.. This sud work out..

1. Use kingoroot and root ur device.

2. Install lucky patcher and install flygps/fake gps app as a system app (this way mock locations isn't required to be turned on)

3. Unroot using the same app, kingoroot claims it unroots as well.

4. Play pokemonGo.

i have the same gripe, but i have come to find out that the camera doesnt really have to be sooo close to the subject to take good pics.

use MANUAL CAMERA, it allows you to adjust focus manually to macro... and u will see that the minimum working distance is about 4-5 inches away

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srdjannj:
Not a software solution, but you can buy on ebay for a few bucks macro lens. I have played with it a little bit, and the results are excellent. And since you are working with computer parts, if you have nearby old CD/DVD drive, try to pull out lens from it. You will be amazed with result (but it will give you blur effect on everything that is not in the center of the image, opposite to macro lens where everything is clear).

Wow, thanks, I do have a couple of old DvD drives lying around, I will give it a shot.

I also opened up my tablet, C2D4, because of very poor internet connectivity, I noticed how antenna is soldered and I am guessing that there is a short in my case, so I will solder two separate cables instead of one and see how it goes...

hello I bought this tablet I have a big problem. When I put any sdcard, I have always as volum 0.90 go. The sd with windos is no problem. Do you know how I can fix this problem please? Thanks for advance
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] lupu:
Yes the WiFi is a joke, although the signal looks good 3/4bars or 4/4bars the latency is huge > 800ms, packet loss and the bw is under 100kbps if I am not in the same room with the wifi-router. In the same room I get even 70mbps.

Regarding your mod, check first with a multimeter if there is indeed a short. I would not recommend using two separate wires to connect the PCB antenna you must use a coax cable for this since unshielded wire acts as a antenna themselve.

You could try soldering a 31.25mm(starting from the solder joint) non-shielded wire on the pad marked with + sign. In my case I saw around 10% improvement with this mod.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] veaceslav:
I will try to make a improvised coaxial with Ethernet cable and aluminium foil wrap... I do not have a multimeter..
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] veaceslav:
So, after long tries of improving the Wi-Fi I am giving up. The speed of 22Mbps I achieved with the cover of, I can't make it when the cover is on. The damn plate is too thick and is killing all signal. I even soldered a wire to the plate. It didn't improve or worsen the signal. I put a wire with a razor blade wrapped in the plastic area and got a small improved.

I get at least some stable 5 Mbps when I used to get almost nothing. If I crack open a little bit the case, suddenly the speed is twice as fast.

Props to the Teclast guys, at least there was no short in antenna soldering. I wish I had a full plastic cover
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] veaceslav:
Update: since I noticed that WiFi is better with the case open, I decided to get the antenna out. Not all of it, just the tip.

The antenna is glued with strong adhesive, but then it fits strong on the screen.

For me, I got a good improvement in speeds when the router is away.

Since Realtek chip is kinda bad, don't expect miracles. My phone with ac chip is still faster, even in N band.

Now we have the solution as with beta B350 and stable B360 OTA rollout, Honor has introduced a new feature, wherein, all marketing message will go to a different section named as info message so you need to worry and check every message which are in info message section and for which you really don’t care. All your important and personal messages will be intact as it is and you will have the luxury to check the important messages rather scrolling up and down and searching for them and can easily avoid the marketing or promotional messages.
