I thought ro. props are 1st come first serve? a ro. prop in build.prop can't change an ro. prop in default.prop which is why assume your cmdline edits work because your ro. prop changes are at the beginning of the cmdline and the bootloader is appending the ro. props to the end of the cmdline.

also when I am talking persist I'm not talking props am talking physically written persistently somewhere on the devices, I'm curious to see a hex dump of your persistent partition to see if the end has any information appended to it.

I'm not a dev just a hobbyist, I'm simply speaking from my experience with enterprise class devices that require entitlement licenses to enable features and one device I work with OEM unlocking is a feature we enable by a license.

So I could see Google using an entitlement model in a similar fashion as it would allow them manufacturer 1 Model (well in Google's case 6) and then enable features based on a licensing server.

I could imagine it working similar to the way web base device unlocks work from manufacturers like Moto and HTC a unique token is uploaded then unique token is downloaded and then stored then the device unlocking is allowed.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] treIII:
It's not hidden on my phone. Other than a Verizon Cid I don't have anything Verizon. My phone hasn't. But like I said soon as it booted on I pulled the sim. Also I got the V update not X like Verizon users should have
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blueyes:
Yes. If I wipe , and flash the stock images with the vzw sim installed, it'll add a few vzw apks. Likewise if I have a Fi sim it'll add Fi to drawer etc. Some of the docs are in /etc/sysconfig and some in /etc/cne/Nexus/.

Looks like the only difference between the "X" & "V" builds are the radio image. Same bootloader. Unless there's some differences in the system. Haven't gone that far.

How do I use terminal to make setprop commands for enable or allow OEM unlock? When I enter setprop in terminal or says it needs 2 arguments.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] social-design-concepts:
setprop requires 2 arguments the property and the value example:

setprop ro.secure 0

Now I used ro.secure as an example cause you can't set read only props.

Though the creators of Magisk just released along with another user a tool called restprop that allows you to change read only props if you have root access.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blueyes:
The bootloader once installed, it gets busted up into many segments. I.e. aboot.img, keymaster, tz, several small files. Your aboot.img holds all the fastboot commands, not sure what or why you'd wanna pull the bootloader but hey, your phone. Lol

[General Questions and Answers] Thibault1171:
Hi guys, I'm actually on stock rom (android 6.0.1) with Androplus kernel v40 on my Sony Z5 Compact.

I currently have SuperSU 2.78 SR3 and Xposed systemless v86.2. I also have Magisk v8 installed.

I want to get rid of Magisk (I know it's possible), but when I flash Magisk Uninstaller zip, my root is gone. If I flash supersu again (any version, even 2.76),it tries to install systemless but it's not installing su binaries (a problem with ramdisk).

I can't uninstall Xposed ; if I have Magisk installed, Uninstaller is working but after reboot, xposed is still here. If I uninstall Magisk, Uninstaller doesn't work and ask for Magisk.

I've tried to flash again Androplus, but I still need to flash Magisk in order to avoid ramdisk error.

I've tried to restore Boot from the Stock Backup (backup done just after clean flash of Android 6.0.1) with TWRP : I got stuck on Android Startup (after the app optimization), so I go back to today's Boot backup.

What can I do to uninstall Magisk and use systemless root? Use another kernel?

Thanks a lot :)

Hi All,

This is the stock rom for the Blackview Ultra:

Hey there,

Is there a way to root the Sony Xperia E5?

I've tried kingroot, kingoroot and towelroot, but non of them worked.

I found a way to unlock the bootloader, but that's not the problem.

To root the stock rom, which is based on marshmallow, we'll need a custom kernel in order to avoid bootloop.

A custom kernel can be flashed in a custom recovery like cwm or twrp, which isn't available for our device either, but you can also flash a kernel with flashtool.

Can any developer do some research on how to root this device and with what exploit(s)?

Thanks.

Take nandroid backup and replace original services.jar with this one. Don't forget to rename it (remove "253") and set correct permissions (0644).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jswny:
I recently upgraded to Nougat Pure Nexus. Before I did, I made a backup of my SMS messages with Titanium Backup. When I had everything installed, I booted up and then restored my SMS messages. This took about 45 minutes. During that time, I had a friend send me a test text message. I never received the message. After the backup was done all of my messages were there but the one that was sent while I was restoring my messages never appeared in Textra or the default Google Messenger app. Is there any way to see if I missed other messages or get those back that I received while doing a restore? I think this may be due to the fact that Titanium set itself as the default SMS app when restoring messages but I would have thought that they would still come in anyway. Can anyone help me with this? I fear I missed important messages.

I'm on Verizon FYI.

Here's the link for the Samsung Pay Framework apk http://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-pay-framework/

Here's what Samsung Pay should look like after you update:

There's a newer version out (2.5.02) but I can't seem to find the apk anywhere, so until it shows up this version is the newest I could get. Also I had to disable Samsung Push and Samsung Galaxy Services or Apps (can't recall which it was in package disabler pro) in order for this to work. Hope this helps and good luck ??.

Newest version is out yay!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
Shanda. I want to be sure I follow you. If I follow your steps I can use Samsung Pay on my Note 7 and connect to my Gear S3 Frontier? I'm wary of updating directly through Samsung Apps.

UPDATE: So, I did this and had an unexpected outcome! I downloaded the .apk with the highest number (2.7.46) and when installed was prompted to install a sim card from Korea!!! That version was uploaded in Dec while 2.6.0 was uploaded just today!!! Anyway, the version with the largest number obviously doesn't belong on this page as you'll be prompted for a Korean sim. Why it's there, I don't know. Other than that, everything went fine! I will try now setting up SP on my Gear S Frontier and let you guys know if that goes alright.

LATER: So this is what happened. I started setting up SP on my Gear S3 and got prompted to update the app on the phone!!! The first time I backed out, but the second time I tried again and was still prompted to update, I went ahead and tapped 'Update'. All that happened was that the SPay app on my phone went to the page showing the update status which was 2.6.0 since I had just side loaded it. It did not try to update again through Samsung's servers, whew!! I had to reenter my card then confirm with my bank to get two tokens activated, one for the phone and one for the watch. I'm now in business!!!

After all that it seems all Samsung does to disable SP on the Note 7 is to not allow it to work if you update directly through their servers. That was the little bit of info I needed clarification on since I've seen some people post that you need a 'compatible version' which really isn't true. You just must side load any future updates for it to work on the Note 7.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
Thanks, it's still not there although I have all three boxes enabled. I seem to remember selecting a setting to use the Gear S to keep my phone's screen unlocked. Maybe that setting is what's causing SP to no longer display on my phone. I think SP requires some authentication enabled on the phone to be able to use it.!

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
New version of Samsung Pay available. I thought I'd skip it, but it refuses to work anymore unless you update it. It's available in the link Shanda gave on the last page.

EDIT: Ignore above advice. I got fooled into loading the latest version, 2.8.30 which is a Korean version. Apkmirror doesn't distinguish between what countries the .apk's are for. However, someone pointed out to me that the SP .apk's for the US would be over 60 mb in size. The correct one is 2.7.03 for the US. They are too large to attach else I would.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
And if you are dealing with SP on the Gear S. First update Samsung Pay on your phone. Then open Samsung Pay in Gear Manager app. It will then do it's thing, the two will match up, and you'll be good to go.

EDIT: Giving up for now. Getting that error again, seems nothing works.

EDIT: Giving up must have been what it took. Got it installed finally! Just need to call the bank. My phone now reports that version 2.7.03 is the latest not 2.8.30:laugh: Latest SP framework version is 2.7.51 as I reported above.

I don't know if anybody else does it that way but I actually use my LG V20 like a computer. I did the same with my LG G4 using SlimPort.

The V20 needed USB-C so I got that.

However, I have a pet peeve.. both of them would initially show 2K resolution (2560x1440) on my monitor. Then it would downscale to 640x480 and everything got fuzzy on the screen.

I would have to take it to the Samsung television (1080p) and it would "reset" then I'd go back to my 2K monitor and hook it up and it'd show beautifully until I turn it off then it goes back to 640x480.
