This is how the flash tool should look before hitting the download button:

Hallo Mario, yes I have this screen (finally), but it says "PMT changed for the ROM, it must be downloaded" The line was red and 100%, but there it stuck.

Cannot find MT67xx preloader in Device Manager.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
Is there any juice left in your battery? Is it still showing the green logo?

Is it charging? If not try removing the battery for a few seconds put it back in and then hook it up to a charger

If the mt65xx does not show up, flashtools won't work.

What operating system do you have? Are the drivers installed correct?

Did the flash tool showed some reaction she plugged the phone in? Like a box with chip info as title? If so the drivers seem to be installed correct.

Are you sure you selected firmware upgrade?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Mario!

The flashing went well, yes! Empty battery, but it worked. I forgot to choose upgrade, thanks my friend.

So, now the s3 is on 5.1

What I want to do is:

Install TWRP on the s3 and then install 7.1

Can I flash TWRP the same way as the firmware?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
Glad it worked

TWRP should have been installed automatically at least for me it was. So try to boot to twrp

Gesendet von meinem S3 mit Tapatalk
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Yes, you're right. Boot to twrp (2.8.7.0)

Can i install the android 7.1 rom with this twrp or

should i install twrp 3.02 first for installing the upgrade to 7.1?

Can i put twrp 3.0.2 on the phone with fastboot?

Or just copy the software to the internal storage and install with twrp?

Or with flash tool again?

I used to install twrp with fastboot.

Almost there...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
I would recommend updating twrp first. Just boot into twrp and flash it

Gesendet von meinem S3 mit Tapatalk
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
How exactly? Just put the twrp 3.0.2 in the phone (internal storage) and open the phone in twrp recovery and then choose twrp 3.0.2 and install it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
Yeah

At least I did so. I think you could do it with fastboot but I'm not sure

PC doesn't recognize S3 anymore. Very strange, it did before. So now i cannot drag twrp (new version) to internal storage.

Any suggestions?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] magin1:
Use card reader for micro sd card and put it on there.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Sorry, i don't understand that. USB in cardreader? How?

But what can be the problem when the S3 is not in the explorer of my laptop anymore?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
I thin he means that you could use an micro SD card which you put in a USB card reader plugged into your computer. And then copy the file

Do you have 5.1 running?

You could download it with this system.

For twrp sometimes I have the same problem sometimes and some not. So I normally copy my files while the OS still runs

Gesendet von meinem S3 mit Tapatalk
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Yes 5.1 is running

Can i copy the twrp.img on the phone? That should be it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] supermar10:
And then flash the .IMG via twrp then you are done.

There is an option called flash recovery in which you can flash IMG

Or as an alternative the app Flashify

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Hello, i managed to flash the twrp 3.0.2 with flashify (nothing else worked). After a full wipe i entered twrp recovery again and installed the rom android 7.1. Wiped again and did a reboot. The phone gives a softly blinking "Android" about 15 minutes now. Is this normal? Just wait?

Hopefully for you, what may have been happening was the dex / art cache being rebuilt by android update.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
I tried and tried and tried. Finally android 7.1 is running now.

But i can't get GApps (from M.A.D.) on the device.

Dragged the zip file (OpenGApps 64/7.1/stock) to the internal storage and tried to install with TWRP 3.0.2. No succes.

Tried to download and install GApps.apk, but no succes.

Can anybody tell me how i can get GApps on my Jiayu S3 adv.?

Can anybody explain why my laptop doesn't recognize my device anymore? Installing the drivers will not complete. Tried everything.

Any help is more than welcome!

Thanks,

Alex
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Good to hear 7.1 is flashed. Now for Gapps I installed open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico same as developers.

If, with twrp, not from internal sd you may want to try from external sd.

Next I guess you want to root: just flash (after having booted with Gapps) SuperSU-v2.78 ZIP.

success
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Thanks, installed GApps arm64 7.1 Pico by downloading with phone itself and installed with TWRP. It is working now.

Thanks for the help, preciate it !!!

Hello, as recovery is still working try to whipe all and then install rom and gapps again. Or did you do that already with reset?

Why not install rom aosp android 7.1.1 from M.A.D.?

If you have twrp you can always change rom
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] gorillaz_gr:
hmmm try to leave your device without battery for about 10min and try again to boot.

I have also a JiaYu S3 that when I switch off then it only reboots constantly. I do the trick with the battery.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] McMacaron1:
Hello Giorgosovi, try to wipe out dalvik in recovery mode. You will loose all programs and settings. Photos and sd card should remain intouched. Download eXtreme rom from Needrom and use SP_Flash_Tool. I have the best experience with it. Unpack rom, open SP flash, press scatter loading and navigate to your dowloaded rom. Find file MT6752_Android_scatter.txt and press OK. Press download at the top of the SP flash tool. Switch off your phone, plug it to your PC and switch on. Your phone should be reinstalled and run normally as you are use to.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

I would not recomment that as for me it is unstable. It is extremly vuneralble if you will take out battery without switching off phone. I have lost home button and data connection. I have wipe it out reinstalled and everything worked perfectly for a month. I took out battery again and when I came back home phone was in boot loop. I went back to eXtreme as it is supper stable and I do not have wifi connectivity issues with it as with other roms.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Alexiaomi:
Hello Supermar10, so sorry for my very late respons. I want to thank you for your help (and others too). My Jiayu is working again thanks to the flashing tool. I managed to install the aosp android 7.1 from M.A.D. and some updates too. It's just fine now.

Thanks man!

[LG V20 Accessories] mtsingson:
Writing this review for those who will order their Cases online. I got 2 spigens the other day. But i didnt have my V20 yet. Just got that today. I just went with it since ive always used Spigen cases and have always had faith

Spigen Rugged Armor, i have no complaints. Its what i have on now. I plan to use this as my daily case

Spigen Liquid Crystal, this sadly was a disappointment. Everything is almost okay. Got a good lip on the front. Fits well. Buttons were no problem. The only problem i have is the camera hole. It seems that the case is the same level as the camera lense. If ever its recessed i cant see it. At most maybe 1mm recessed but that might not be enough for an uneven table. With all the "scare" of the camera lense cracking easy, i dont think ill be risking it. Sucks because i wanted to use that case for night outs when i want to show off the phone design.

But the rugged armor has a good enough recess
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
I also have the liquid crystal and it's a great case however the camera is a bit too close to the surface. My problem with the rugged armor is that it's a glorified jelly/silicone case which offers no bend protection. To be honest the glass cracking on the camera isn't a widespread issue. I honestly think the people who damaged it abused it to begin with. I usually take care of my gadgets diligently.
[LG V20 Accessories] DLovo313:
I bought the liquid crystal case through Amazon and I'm glad I did because I returned it a couple days later at no cost to me. The case discolored to a light yellow/brownish tint after a day or two and my biggest gripe was the 2mm gap between the phone and case around the power button & camera cutout. So I had to press the case down a bit to reach the power button which was a pain when trying to fingerprint unlock. I got my refund I'm just surprised by the poor quality. Definitely a rush job by Spigen.

Sent from my T-Mobile LG V20
[LG V20 Accessories] Pick_A_Name:
I'm wondering if the camera cutout had to do with the wide angle lens. Maybe if it was deeper it would interfere with the pictures. Just throwing that our there. I've never had a problem with Spigen before, but as someone said it could be a rush job. I think LG rushed the device and the sheer volume is more than anticipated because of the note 7 debacle.
[LG V20 Accessories] prinzhernan:
Odd because the one I got is tight and I don't have the same issues you do. Maybe the one you ordered was a fake?
[LG V20 Accessories] dragion:
I ordered the Liquid Crystal case and ended up returning it back to Amazon due to the discoloration of the case.

It appeared to have a slight yellowish tint instead of being "clear" as Spigen claims.

I did not have any issues with fit...all cutouts were exactly correct.

I ended up purchasing the Ringke Fusion, but with smoked black bumpers...a much better choice regarding the protection it provides and still maintaining a minimal design to the LG V20.
[LG V20 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
I have the Liquid Crystal and don't have complaints other than the single color option. I wanted something with minimal bulk and this is it. It also provides just enough grip that I don't feel uncomfortable using my phone.
[LG V20 Accessories] komsa:
What glass (front) or protective folie do you use with Spigen liquid crystal .................. i cant find any compatible?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navtis123:
I have a Kindle Fire 5th Gen. A while ago I used rootjunky's supertools, apparently successfully: first downgrading the firmware to 1.2, then taking the first five options in the supertool (add google play store, root device, block OTA updates, remove lock screen ads, and install nova launcher). I added a few apps (SignBSL, SuperSU, Firefox, termux, wshell) and all seemed ok.

This all seemed to work ok. Today I came back to the device after not using it for a while and found that when turned on it loops between the 'lock' screen and the 'fire' screen. I turned off the house wifi, and then found the looping stopped. Disabling wifi makes it OK again; as soon as wifi is enabled it becomes unusable again. There is no problem with any other devices on the wifi, it is definitely the device.

I can connect to the device through ADB, get a shell, and su in the shell. But I don't know what I'm looking for - I haven't done anything with Android before. My first thought was to look in /var/log, but I soon found that doesn't exist.

Can anyone advise how to go from here?

Thanks

Graham

Thanks sd_shadow, I've done that. Maybe someone could add a note to the forum to make it more obvious this forum is for Fire older than 5th gen only?

Hi guys,

i made a small test suite to test vulnerability to CVE-2016-5195 on Linux-based systems.

This is 99.9% the work of the author of the exploit, i just made some minor changes to transform this into a test suite.

Download: DirtyCow Test-Suite

Important: Activate USB-Debugging to get adb-shell running!

How-to-test:

Download the test suite from above server
Unpack the .zip
Attach your device via USB to your PC
./testvuln.sh

If vulnerable, you should see this:

202 KB/s (10000 bytes in 0.048s)
131 KB/s (5904 bytes in 0.043s)
Running exploit, may take some time
UID=0(root), your device is vulnerable!

Otherwise if not vulnerable something like this:

140 KB/s (10000 bytes in 0.069s)
133 KB/s (5904 bytes in 0.043s)
Running exploit, may take some time
run-as: Usage:
run-as <package-name> [--user <uid>] <command> [<args>]

Source (You can build it yourself via ndk):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767106997

Hint: Should work on all ARMv8 devices!

As I understand this would give a root adb shell and therefore I could root my Z5 Compact and install supersu? I only want to remove some garbage apps without unlocking the Boatloader.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
This elevates privileges of a process. If you want a root shell you must do some modifications to the code, but this can potentially root all DirtyCow affected devices.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tavoc:
Thanks, I will have a look at your code. Maybe a github account would be nice for Pull request etc.

Best thing you can do is fork this, i made some changes which contradict your desire of a root tool.

So this script is not working under Windows, ist that right?

So we can get root shell? but I don't think we can change the system partition without kernel changing right?

For windows,download adb tools, copy all binary to adb folder and enter following in a terminal:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
I remained on my Note4 for the time being. But I don't think I can wait one whole year for the Note8. One, my phone may not last that long. Two there is competition out there already surpasing the Note7 in some aspects. Three I think people like to change phones as their contracts expire, which was a probably while ago now for many. The question is though CAN they make it happen sooner. They still supposedly don't know the cause of Note7 failure so time does not seem to be on their side. Which, for me at least, sucks. Note7 is just too expencive for me with all the downsides. So unless Samsung does something soon, I can see a lot of people turning away after some time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] amyf27:
I don't think Samsung can afford to rush it. Look what happened with the Note 7. If they rush the 8 and have similar issues that would be catastrophic. I thought I read they were aiming for summer time launch for the note 8,and February for the S8. Loved my note 7 so very interested in how they'll handle the next 8. After two very expensive recalls on the N7, I truly hope they can make sure the 8 comes out successful.
