[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tattoohead:
So, this morning my son (who has a Nexus 5X) says his phone is bootlooping. I said "gimme that!..you don't know what you're doing." Lol

Thought I could fix it, but an hour later, a dozen google searches and trying a bunch of different things I can't get ADB mode to work on this phone!!

I'm using a Windows 10 PC that works fine with my Nexus 6P and ASUS tablet. I reinstalled USB drivers just in case but that's not it. I've tried different cables with no luck either.

I can get the 5X to boot into recovery mode where I see the dead Android robot with 'no command' under him. I then press the power button + volume up to get to ADB sideload menu. I can hear the "da da" music of the PC seeing something on the other end of the USB cord but no matter what I do, no ADB/Fastboot. I've even tried the LGUP tool, that even says no device attached.

I was hoping someone may have some way to restore the device. It boots up the Google logo then reboots Google logo then just shuts itself off. Every once in a while I can get it to boot to the Android boot animation for about 2 seconds before it freezes and shuts itself off. The device is about 11 months old (one year warranty?) and has never been rooted.

Thanks for any info... **I called Project Fi, going to get a replacement**
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
Sorry, I totally missed the last part before replying.

It could be a hardware failure. Since you're so close to 12 months, I would contact Google (or LG if not from google) and let them try to troubleshoot. That's the best way to get warranty repair. They will run you through any steps that might work. You just don't have much time to troubleshoot.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxguitargod94xx:
Mine does not appear at all on Windows or any operating system I'm guessing none if the init files should be zero bytes either I have no idea wth happened I check the root system with root browser and got this and my 5x is bootlocked I reset it dozens of times and still no recognition set mtp manually via devel options and nothing
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
Don't know about these files but re-installing (updating) all drivers seems to work for me. I've had to do this many times in the past 4 months for rooted N5, & N9, not rooted but bl-unlocked N5X, and virgin N5X. Never had to do this before and could use multiple devices interchangeably with Windows 10 which I've had since its beginning. Wugfresh has a driver install/repair section on his NRToolkit that can be helpful.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatgasbee:
Sorry this is old thread. but I have same issue with nexus 5x. though it recently experienced BLOD and flashed 4cores. did you find a solution to your problem? mine however only recognized in adb on ubuntu. but no where else. no windows 10. and on ubuntu mtp didn't work

Works Screen Magnify (S-Pen) ???

best regards
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hard_Rock83:
will never work since it requires some 64 bit libs which is not compatible .only smartselect and screenwrite shd work since its working on every rom or samsung devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] silicij:
What about translate?

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] anees02:
I really interested in screen write because it force closed after I add international languages to my my sprint variant note 4.

So if all languages already available in your work I will try it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] liibrr:
Does it work on custom roms ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] vimanarchia:
Only two options are exist: create note and screen note... thats all. My rom is erobot v15 6.0.1 talexop kernel
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hermankzr:
Please provide stock MM Note 4 S-pen flashable zip just in case someday wanna revert back to stock which is fully works Note 5 like S-pen features..

I know that we can restore ROM backup but if there's easier way, why not?

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

I love the new gif feature & dictionary.

Dictionary doesn't work? Then only gif is the advantage of Note7 S-pen.

But it lacks of action memo which is the most important thing to me and i don't wanna the new all in one Samsung Notes app.

That's why i need the easier way for revert back on the go.

Thanks for sharing and please tell if there's a fully working version of this app
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hermankzr:
If someone could make flashable zip of S-pen Note7,then i believe one could make flashable zip of stock Note 4 MM S-pen feature.

Who can make it? Let's see..
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Hermankzr:
I've found the easiest way to get the new gif feature.

Just update the Smart Select apk then voila! You've got it.

Only Translate and Glance that i need. Don't care about the magnify.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] jayk_007:
Brother, even if action memo seems to be missing, Try double tapping the home screen with the button on the S Pen press n hold position.

Thank me if it worked ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Asim Waqar:
Thanks for this, was looking for it. can you please confirm few things for me

* Does the off screen memo works? (When the screen is off and you take out the SPen you can write on screen)

* Does the Translator work?

* Does the Extract Text work in smart select?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
Does anyone have an issue getting PvZ2 to install on their Honor 8? I had it installed, but then a recent update to PvZ2 wouldn't install properly. I removed the app and attempted to install it again, but the play store just closes when it reaches 99% downloaded. Not sure what is going on, but if you have the PvZ2 installed can you tell me what version of Google Play Store and Google Play Services are installed?

My phone is the AL10 (Chinese version) and I had to manually install the Google Play Store and Google Play Services. I have plenty of storage (45GB available) and I have reset the play store and play services by clearing the cache and data.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
I think I should have mentioned that all other apps are installing fine through the play store. I only have an issue with PvZ2.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
This is very strange. Try clearing PvZ2 folders in /Android/data then try to install again.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
It seems that I was able to pull down the apk from apk mirror and get it installed that way. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. Not sure what's happening with Google Play, but that game is around 650MB so maybe that is causing an issue.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
The size should not be the problem. I have 2K17 installed and it's 2.5GB.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] uid_0:
Is there a way to change the selections you made on the EULA screen during the Setup Wizard, specifically changing things like allowing third party usage and diagnostic data? I've tried the Nova Launcher Activities method to start the SetupWizardTestActivity, but that doesn't lead to the screen where you select mandatory and optional portions of the EULA. I should mention I know this can be changed with a factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that. :confused:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dadittoz:
I think what this check box does is just enables Activity Logs in Settings -> About phone. Just go there and uncheck it.

That item is for Google services, but does not allow for adjusting third party app activity logging.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] :
Hello. Im new here and I have Motorola Photon Q with SIM mod and custom ROM Mokee (Android 6.0.1).

I want to know if I want to instal CM11/12 (or CM13) on my phone i need to get back to Stock ROM and than do all of the rom stuff?

Also i trying playing PoGO with Mygisk but when i turn off root it gets back on. Any solution?

And one more, is there a big chance to I change my phone to a ussles brick?

Thanks for help. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
There's always the potential to brick a device, if you do something incorrect.

While the chances are less likely nowadays, the issue is still possible. If you are afraid of this potential, stop now.

Otherwise, you can flash any ROM you want - no need to go back to stock.

As for the root comment, no clue - I'm guessing you didn't truly disable root (perhaps you can't disable it in Mokee? Never used it myself. Never wanted to disable root either...).

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] :
I sucessly upgrade my phone to CM12, its nightly in fact but everything is ok for now. :good:

In Mokee I have a option to dislabe root in developer options but this didn't give anything, PoGO still won't start.

I was wondering about it and I think I shouldn't risk to brick my phone for one silly game.

Thank You very much for help :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
I realize this is way old so you probably figured out a way, but to play PoGo one easy way (that works for me) is to use TWRP to rename the 'su' binaries to something else. There are a couple of them and I don't recall exactly where they are but I found the info on this site. Of course then you won't have root automatically, but can still run your renamed su from a terminal if needed, or use twrp to rename them back to su. Every time you update builds su gets restored, so have to rename again for PoGo.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
Has anyone tried to use Android Pay on the F800K? I have tried it at a couple of stores and it keeps saying to tap again. When I tap I just set the phone on the reader and I can feel the phone vibrate so I assume it was at least trying to make the connection necessary for the transaction, but it's not completing.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
I wanted to revive this one to see if anyone is using F800K with Android Pay. I am STILL having issues with it not working most of the time. I suspect that there is an issue with NFC on this phone. Android Pay seems to work when it wants to...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] planetbeen:
Forgive me if this is common knowledge (or completely bonkers) but I think I read somewhere that the small line/bar right above the middle of the camera bump is where the nfc is located in this phone.

I know nothing about Android pay because I've never set it up but (if I'm not remembering something that never happened) the way the person mentioned it seemed to me like that might be an uncommon place for it to be.

So on some random off chance that it may be helpful I figure it wouldn't help to mention it in case trying a different position on the card readers might help?

Hopefully this isn't the stupidest comment you've read all day... But if it is you can always have a laugh at my expense. lol

Who knows... Maybe I'm actually being helpful. If not... Sorry! Hope you get it figured out!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] spexwood:
I have the ATT H910 and also can't get Pay to work. Same details as you and I'm tapping the camera to the NFC receivers. Phone vibrates, but doesn't do anything.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EcPercy:
I wonder if this is a V20 bug or something wrong with Android Pay. I have tried to read my MRT card with the app that they supply for topping up and it works just fine so I question where the issue is as it seems that NFC is working fine.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DANIEL TAN:
My bro also can't use Android Pay on his H990DS. Contacted Google, keep asking the same questions that he had already answered. Obviously they don't have a solution to this at the moment.
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
Hi,

i just rooted my Fire TV 1 (version 51.1.4.0) via dirtycow, and I wanted to share my experience. (Unfortunately I cannot post external Links here)

Dirtycow allows you to write to files, even if you have no permission to do so. Unfortunately there is no binary on the system with the suid bit set, so I could not replace this binary. (Other attempts on other Android devices replaced the run-as binary. This is not possible here). Another problem was, that the modification only last for the current boot, so I could not just modify boot scripts. I had to find a binary, that is executed as root while the system is running, preferably on demand. This binary is ip. Every time one modifies the network settings in the Fire TV gui, ip is executed as root. Yay. With that in mind, I replaced ip with a shell script, that deploys the su binary.

This is what I did:

I compiled the dirtycow.c from timwr GitHub Repository CVE-2016-5195

Then I put the resulting binary into /data/local/tmp on my Firetv (via adb)

Now I pushed chainfires su binary to /data/local/tmp

I copied the /system/bin/ip binary to /data/local/tmp

I wrote this shell script, pushed it to /data/local/tmp and marked it executable (755)

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
/data/local/tmp/ip "$@"

After that, I used dirtycow to replace ip with my new ip script (./dirtycow /system/bin/ip ip_script) [This may take a while]

Now I went to my network settings of my Fire TV and changed them to a static ip address.

I reconnected to my amazon Fire tv and typed su

shell@android:/ $ su
root@android:/ #

Lastly I installed the Supersu.apk from chainfire

Root seems to work with the adb shell and the terminal app. Somehow it does not with amaze file manager. If I start it I get thrown into the amazon fire ui.

This rooting method should also work for other versions of the fireOS, though I have not tested them.
[Fire TV General] sconnyuk:
Can you downgrade with being in the root state?
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
Yes. After rooting, I downgraded to 5.1.0.2 and did a full bootloader unlock. I am now running a rooted 5.2.1.1
[Fire TV General] sconnyuk:
Will have to try this for fire stick.

Excellent find, ive been watching the dirtycow and this will come in handy if it works for fire stick.
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
Please report back :)

I think it is important to note, that I configured a static ip address to trigger the ip script. Root is permanent btw. as soon as the su binary is deployed, you can reboot all you like.
[Fire TV General] christianrodher:
firetv have selinux? what version linux is it?
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
I thought I read somewhere, that FireOS 5 had SELinux. I could not check, because I still ran FireOS 3. Seems like it does not have SELinux. I will remove the remark from my initial post.
[Fire TV General] christianrodher:
can you double check if sepolicy is present or something similar?
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
Ok. In my FireOS version 5.2.1.1 there is SELinux activated and enforcing. In FireOS version 51.1.0.4 there was none. But I do not know if that hinders the rooting process.
[Fire TV General] christianrodher:
ok so when you do the exploit u where at selinux enforcing.... ok if is that simple after weve been working our asses here https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195/issues/9 im going to break the pc and the cell phone lol
[Fire TV General] refi64:
[MENTION=7811757]christianrodher[/MENTION] No worries, I doubt this is the universal solution! :D I think it's that the TV runs `ip` with a really lenient SELinux context for some stupidly weird reason.
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
No I did the exploit on my FireOS version 51.1.0.4. Afaik there was no SELinux present. SELinux is present in FireOS version 5.2.1.1. I can test, if this exlploit works on my now updated Fire TV.

Edit: It did not work :( I could not mount system read write. Seems like it only works for FireOS 3
[Fire TV General] VastVenomm:
I've reached Step 3, I don't understand what you mean by su binary, as in, the whole flashable zip of supersu? or something else? Could you please explain? Thank you :p

Edit: Before I carry on, I was attempting this on the fire tv *Stick* instead of the box, running 5.2.1.1 would it still work?
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
you need to extract the SU binary file from Supersu. apk
[Fire TV General] VastVenomm:
I ran:

./dirtycow /system/bin/ip ip_script

I marked the scripts as 755 as well.

Error:

/system/bin/sh: ./dirtycow: not executable: 64-bit ELF file.

I also tried compiling dirtycow as 32bit. And got:

/system/bin/sh: ./dirtycow: not executable: 32-bit ELF file.

Help would be appreciated, thank you.
[Fire TV General] asafegous:
Do you save the shell script as ip_script.sh?
[Fire TV General] christofsteel:
You do not need to extract the binary from the SuperSU.apk, rather download the zip from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

Then extract the zipfile and copy the su file from the arm folder.

Edit: I think it would not work because FireOS > 5.2.0.0 has SELinux activated. This method does not seem to work with SELinux.

You compiled the source to x86 code. You need to compile dirtycow with a compiler for arm. I recommend using androids ndk.
[Fire TV General] Ultraschorsch:
I still got 5.0.5.1 on my FTV1. Is there a chance that I might get root using the dirtycow exploit?
[Fire TV General] bula1ca:
Rename apk to zip and extract su no diffence from what I posted.
