[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PantsFullOfGuns:
So I am finally ready to move on from my beloved S4 but am realizing that a lot of newer phones cannot be rooted due to the fact that at least with Verizon that their rooting methods require you to unlock the bootloader. I was wondering how devices like the S4 were rooted without ever have unlocked the bootloader (at least in the later versions of updates before loki, where it was locked and when I got the phone), and if anyone can pull up sites that have information on the exploits and methods that were used to accomplish this. Thanks

I achieved root with KingRoot, I used the Windows apc version KingRoot 5.0
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belushi619:
I have a second generation Shield Tablet K1 that I purchased in December 2015.* The tablet was knocked off a counter and landed face down on travertine tile. The glass/digitizer did remarkably well considering but still had a large crack going down the middle of the screen. The tablet still worked in all regards* and I used it with no issues for 6 weeks. I purchased an NVIDIA SHIELD TABLET P1761W OEM LCD TOUCHSCREEN DIGITIZER on eBay.

I had the new digitizer installed locally at a phone/tablet repair shop. The shop called me and told me the tablet was ready for pickup but there were some issues with certain areas of touch screen not working. Basically the upper half of the touch screen works fine and the lower half does not work at all. As far as I can tell the area that works is exactly 50% of the screen. Just trying to do the basics on it right now is a pain as I have to rotate the tablet 180 degrees every few seconds in order to be able to touch a specific key or an app. Of course the shop won't warranty the work because I didn't buy the digitizer from them. What I'm wondering is if anyone can suggest a specific ribbon wire that may need to be replaced or simply checked to make sure the connection is good on it? Should I replace the touch screen controller?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doodlezoid - from nexus:
well, if you don't want to open it up yourself, maybe try getting another, more "able" person to look at it. Check reviews and the company, see if it's a known issue, it just might be a bad buy. I'm bet Ebay will do something about it if you contact them, also try contacting the supplier
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belushi619:
I don't mind opening it up. I was hoping for some insight as to what to look for. I can swap out the Touchscreen Controller from my original digitizer and see if that corrects the issue. I thought with such a specific issue (only the upper half of the touchscreen working) someone could tell me yes, with that symptom you need to replace your Touchscreen Controller or that would only happen if XYZ ribbon weren't connected.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Maybe the touch screen is defect?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nohbdy820:
You're screwed. The repair shop tore the digitizer flex cable. The flex cable has no room to flex on an angle, so the cable just rips.

I just did this myself, and was looking around for a replacement when I found this thread. I couldn't find the problem until after I ripped it more; Now only the top left corner works.

I'm just buying a new one, because the problem I initially opened it to fix needs a heat gun, which I don't have.

Good luck

So pretty much I went from the community build (3.5.2?) to paranoid rom to another rom and now to the official oxygen rom and I cannot get mobile data. I have the right APN settings, this SIM card is fairy new (like a month old) and it was a clean flash, didn't try to keep any of my old data. Anyone else run into this?

PI2 VPN. PI2 Kodi

I am confused of how to safely use a VPN. If I connect only from my Kodi Raspberry PI2 to my second raspberry PI2 that is running as a VPN server, is that enough to hide/encrypt say, an IPTV stream, if using 2048 encryption? Or do I need to connect through my router as a client, to my PI2 VPN first, to completely encrypt traffic and hide my IP?

I'm pretty new to setting up a VPN, so go easy on me. If the above scenario isn't correct what is the best way to setup an in home VPN server? I'd rather avoid paying for a third party VPN service if possible.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 8095717:
Hi there,

I am a little confused as to what you are trying to achieve with that diagram?

Normally, when you utilize a VPN, you try to connect to an arbitrary point on the internet. So you should have your Pi 2 -> ISP -> Virtual Private Server.

Your diagram where you have ISP -> Router --VPN, Encrypted--> Pi 2. Is not effective to hide your content from your ISP, due to the fact that your router and Pi 2 are encrypted.

Reply and get me more information what you are trying to achieve. Here is why I do. VPS --> Pi-VPN. Then I use connect to it when needed.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amottier:
Yes
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3cr0w:
In home VPN server is good if you would like to get inside your home network from the internet.

You need outside server to encrypt data going outside your home.

Connection between VPN client and server is encrypted, connection between server and the internet ... Now that is a question for VPN provider but I guess the answer is 'not really'.

If you connect from one PI to the other running server you will have encrypted traffic in LAN but server PI will drop encryption in order for your router to understand where to pass traffic.

I have a MetroPCS Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL 5054N w/ Android 5.1.1... I rooted with KingoRoot to remove bloatware and get as bit more performance out of it. And being a happy legit Pokemon Go player I have been very sad trying to unroot my phone because apparently the KingoRoot unroot option unroots but I am still unable to play Pokemon Go... I have gotten my phone unlocked and have turned on access to the bootloader in Developers Options, but I'm stuck here. Idk to try and find a stock rom to recover to, or to try and use Magisk, the app that allows you to mount and unmount root. If someone could take some time to help me or just point me in the right direction I'd be super appreciative...

Thanks in advance for any help.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] deepakmasthi:
Hi,

Not too sure if anybody else has had this problem. Every day morning, when I try to use my phone first time in the day, the phone app does not open. It opens and closes within half a second. It has been happening daily. A reboot fixes the issue for the moment.

However, need to check if anybody else has been facing this issue.

I am running stock 3.2.6.

To resolve the issue, I have tried hard reset, flashing stock OS, flashing 3.1.2 and then flashing the incremental OTAs, almost everything I have tried.

Looks like the issue has not been resolved at all. Tried switching off the doze mode as well. Not helping.

Anybody has any guidance/solution to this problem?

Overview

SlimROM, we all know it I guess..

Download

Zuk Z2

*Alpha: Feedback needed, unknown stability

SlimROM 6.0.1 - Alpha 1

Z2 Configurations

Device - Github Pending

Kernel - Github Pending

Kernel is unified and can also be used with Z2 Pro

Vendor - Github Pending

Alpha Notes:

This may not boot, but I'm like 99.9% sure it will. =<

I'm pretty sure my configurations are correct, we'll see right?

Although I don't own this device since others did the heavy lifting I feel very confident in my ability to update device configurations and maintain things as Android is updated over time
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vittogn:
Great!

Is this official Slim?

Is Slim based on AOSP or CM?

Thanks.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
AOSP

Incoming for Z2 Pro today ok? I had a few things I needed to resolve lol

Since nobody said anything negative about this firmware yet; I guess I can safely consider Z2 as stable.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vittogn:
That's fantastic. How many downloads did you get?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iceeyes91:
Is this based on the chinese slim rom? Just asking as it has the same bloatware.

I tested it for a few minutes:

- it boots just fine

- sim card detected

- W-LAN is not working for me. Can't turn it on.

- Bluetooth turns on, not tested

- GPS turns on, not tested

Restored a backup of a previous rom as I need my phone to function properly.

This is all the feedback I can give you for Alpha 1. There is sure to be more people getting involved in testing soon.

Best regards

Very useful feedback, in the next build I will try to resolve wifi

It uses the same props as the Chinese version but considering I'm just bringing up HW I didn't feel the need to debloat at all honestly
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
Sorry, I'll be pushing the Z2 Plus/Pro/Whatever soon; if it also suffers wifi problems I'll at know that's kernel-side for sure.

I have not had the time really to mess around with heavy debugging; I am unsure if wifi driver issue is on the source-code or the kernel in this time but I imagine kernel.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
Maybe 2-3 hours from now; I'm rebuilding again

In my defense I'm really not using many prebuilt things and am bringing up the kernel mostly from scratch; also notice the format my ROMs follow in the Z2 non-pro build.

The Z2 Pro configs I use seem to be spiked, but it shouldn't be a huge problem; it has just taken a little fixing..

Sense? Are you kidding me ????? I think everybody would be greatful if you could develop a more common rom. Nothing bloated.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
I'll build and maintain AOSP either way no matter what; but I want to bring interesting things to this device too.

I will not build in the middle with things like CyanogenMod; I will build pure AOSP for people who want a more pure thing and then I will do vendor ROMs for folks who desire that.

Slim is almost pure, but not quite.

Really, Slim is just for bringing up these devices; once they are stable I'll build using the same code Google does on their AOSP devices so there will not be a difference

Edit: But the configs for Z2 Pro which I've KANG'd are really configured in a messed up way; a lot of proprietary things are missing.

CyanogenMod handles a lot in the way of not being as picky; not being subject to some things that will cause a fatal error when trying to build AOSP or something close to it like Slim or OmniROM..

the Z2 and Z2 pro are very, very similar devices, I had to use some core things from the Z2 model; the bring-up so far has been a bit brutal.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] KronozFX:
Thanks for your work, i'll try your rom as soon as i will not necessarily need a daily driver ;)

As you said wifi problems are in most part kernel... Indeed the Official Mokee by flour mo for Z2 has slow detecting mobile network, and to pass from wifi to mobile net needs to go through airplane switch on and off.

But unofficial mokee by CallMeSuper on LINK doesn't have this problem, and this dev also developed before a custom kernel "M-Kernel" which is good, so i think he used his kernel in the rom to bypass some bugs, so his kernel might be usefull to you too, p.s even though the forum is chinese, callmesuper speaks english too ;)

HINT: use bing translator to translate chinese, it works better than google.

Btw i dont have pc else i would have tried it by myself

Short answer : No !

Long answer : MIUI has support for XDHPI and XXDHPI and our device is LDPI so we can't build it for galaxy star GT-S5282 ..
