[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
The bootloader and the radio from Nougat are not compatible with the MM firmware. Once you flashed M or a ROM based on N (like CM14) you can't reliant revert to MM. Some people said that they did others report lost IEMI like you.

Also you can't flash stock with TWRP.

If everything else fails, I would try RDS tools if you have made backups of original.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] PATAboy:
Ive never installed nothing based on Nougat. I was on MM, erased it all with TWRP (Yeah, all, excluding SD card and USB OTG), and reinstalled it. Now im missing the baseband. Ive been flashing stock rom with a pc
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
Flashing with fastboot?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] PATAboy:
Yeah. The one in the 15 seconds installer that comes with ADB. When flashing through command prompt you use fastboot+the command

LG Treasure and Root

I had a similar situation happen to my LG Treasure using KingRoot's newest version. However, I only had to take out the battery and power back on.

What I wish to mention is that KingRoot's newest version works, but very unstable and will not hold root. It constantly reboots and have to re-root.

Was wondering if there is some way to stabilize this apparently temporary root? Super SU doesn't help.

I have uninstalled everything for now, until I can find some information or advice regarding permanently rooting the LG Treasure possibly using the newest KingRoot with bug fixes. Assuming that only bug fixes are needed, since it does root and RootChecker has verified once that the root was good. Most of the other times RootChecker said "not rooted properly".

thread is taken from here

Backup TA for Sony Xperia

​

Backup TA is tool created by [MENTION=5261329]DevShaft[/MENTION] that can backup and restore the TA partition (DRM Keys) of the device. When you create a backup before unlocking for the first time, then you will be able to restore to full factory state (including a locked bootloader). This means all DRM keys intact, Bravia Engine working in Album and last but not least your warranty when needed

NOTE:

Due to some newer devices can't modify on system partition in cause of verified boot (dm-verity)

it's kernel feature for checking block devices so any modification on system partition will let you in bootloop

--thanks to [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for this tool iovyroot,this tool give us chance to get root shell to backup DRM Keys (A.K.A TA Partition)

this is still in beta state that mean you mainly could get problem while Backup or Restore (this is only for [Testing] Devices)

but it safe to use with compatible devices in previous thread but you could get problem too

=COMPATIBLE DEVICES

=DOWNLOADS

=SOURCE (under MIT license)

GUIDE

1. Download the latest version of Backup TA.

2. Extract the ZIP file to a folder location of your choosing.

3. Navigate to the folder location of Backup TA.

4. Make sure no other script or application which is using ADB is running (Kill ADB from Task Manager).

5. Make sure the device is booted in normal mode (the way you normally use it).

6. Run Backup-TA.bat

7. Read the last paragraph of the license before continuing.

8. Read the information and follow the instructions given by the tool.

FAQ

Q: Is my device supported?

A: Look at the supported devices list. When it is not listed, try to make a backup it will tell you if your device is supported. as well as your device rooted try it or use temp root provided in the tool

Q: Do I need root for this?

A: YES, it's very important to be rooted before backup and restore (for z3+ and later devices use temp root)

Q: Have "Can't Detect root"?

A: your device can't give root access to adb look at your screen and grant it (in SuperSU --> Change ADB Shell to Grant)

for newer devices click (1) for test iovyroot tool

Q: Can I use someone else's backup?

A: Don't ever try to do this , only what you get is bricked device (your TA is unique for your device)

Q: Can I restore my TA while running a ROM with a non-stock kernel?

A: Yes, but it will soft-brick your device and you need Sony PC Companion or Flashtool to fix it by flashing stock firmware. Best is to first return to a complete stock ROM or at least flash a stock kernel (do not confuse with stock based kernel!) before restoring the TA, this prevents the soft-brick.

=you check all FAQ here

please report if [Testing] Devices backup TA successfully, also you can try it on unlocked bootloader to only test so you don't need to restore TA to test this tool just use it but be aware of playing with this Partition

[General Questions and Answers] JustPoo:
Hi folks, I recently ran into a couple of problems with my new Style. At home I have aeroplane mode on, location off, even the sim card removed, yet phone idle is still using battery. Not a great chunk, maybe 3-4%, but it shouldn't be doing that right?! Mobile data etc is all off.

The second issue is that when casting to my Samsung TV the picture is totally off, it's as if the refresh rate isn't right and there's screen tearing all over. Even on a static image there's movement as the pixels update. The TV info tells me that the phone is casting at 720p 30hz. I would normally just use MHL/Slimport instead but this phone doesn't support it.

I've not run into either of these problems with my Nexus 5 or 10 and I've Googled til my thumbs ache, but I can't find a solution or even mention of these specific problems. Can any of you fine folks here help me out? :D
[XDA Assist] iulian.popa:
Hi,

I'm looking for some assistance to unbrick an Allview Viva P8 Pro tablet.

All this mess started from looking after some disk space to install more apps on on the default second partition.

First I've tried some tools like app2sd with no luck and finally decided to try adb/fastboot way, using a linux machine, to root the device.

Before starting the root procedure i was able to boot into recovery mode and while being into recovery mode I could see the tablet as a google device with the proper vendor id 0x18d1. Also "adb devices" command could find the device as expected. Right after issuing "adb restart bootloader", i cannot enter into recovery mode and it hangs with the logo displayed on the screen, i think it's a boot phase before entering into recovery mode.

I can still see it as usb attached device, not with google vendor id but identified as "Onda unverified", with vendor id 0x1f3a. Windows OS finds it as Android Bootloader Interface USB Developer and that's it. I've tried to install some drivers to establish communication but with no luck so far.

Thank you in advance.

I ported CM13 for my device, but the camera is not working..

I tried to make a flashable zip of libs,hw etc.. for fixing that, but after flashing it my phone stuck at boot animation..

Am I right, that I need some files from stock rom to make my camera work on CM13?

It's MT6755 device.

Hi all,

I was using Cyanogenmod mode and phone just stopped working, it was constantly restarting it self and now I can access only fastboot and recovery menu but even if I try to wipe phone via nexus tool kit or manually from CMD, I can not wipe anything it is written done, but after that when I check nothing wiped from memory and cyanogenmod mode is still there and restarting it self.

When I try to flash different rom I have issue like below,

I need your help in order to fix issue because I have checked all solutions but issue still persist.

Thx in advance.

You can't fix this issue only by replacing the motherboard. You have a faulty internal memory, and the phone won't read or write anything unless you change that:(

I got the ultra for about a month now, and frankly I am starting to get desperate since i couldn't yet unlock its potentials with the rooting. I have been trying different instructions on different websites, which turned out to be fake. rooting apps such as KingRoot fails, so I couldn't find a way!.

While you are waiting for root, be sure to disable all automatic updates so that if root is found, the phone won't get patched accidentally to prevent you exploiting it.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] mogarge:
True,

I seriously thought rooting an Android would be the same for all or most devices, i guess it's not!
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] skibnik:
Asus is going to release the bootloader utility for the ultra in a couple of months I persisted with their support services online and the last email I received informed me they are working on it.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
I too contacted them, saying I was strongly considering the phone, but won't buy it without being able to unlock the bootloader. I am waiting for the reply.

If a bunch of people also contact them, perhaps they will realise that it really matters to some people and will promoted sales. OTOH, their customer service people might not understand and simply fob us off without passing the message on.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] mogarge:
where do I contact them?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
https://www.asus.com/support/

I received a reply from them. Sadly it was a pre-formatted reply which simply included a link to their online return/repair/RMA service. Pretty pointless since I had specifically said I was *thinking* of buying but would only do so because as an android developer I need an unlocked bootloader. facepalm.

I sent a reply asking them to read my request more carefully. I don't expect much help from them.

I have tried to contact other Asus departments in the past and either never got a reply or only got a useless one.

I really want one of these phones but I must have root. I contacted the service centre asking when they will release a unlocked bootloader. Here is their responce -

"Thank you for contacting ASUS Service Care.

My name is Gilliant and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.

We're so thankful to hear about your consideration of our product.

In regards to your concern, please be noted our new Zenfone series (ex: Zenfone 3, Zenfone 3 ultra, Zenfone 3 deluxe, etc) is not yet available with unlock bootloader tool. However, we also could not inform you the estimated release time of this tool since we don't have any available information yet. "

Sounds like it my never be release from that, so I'm not prepared to take the risk and get one early.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] mogarge:
I got similar reply, and added they do not support rooting, like I don't know!

isn't there a way without Asus support? like a community or something!!
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
someone will almost certainly find a way to unlock the bootloader without Asus's help one day, but it may be a long time, and may be with some considerable risk to your phone.

so at the moment if you absolutely must have permanent root and unlockable bootloader, don't buy.

someone found that the Dirty Cow exploit worked on the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, which has the same CPU, so there's a chance it might provide temp root on the AZf3U:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69867475&postcount=2

maybe someone can get the binary and try it on the AZf3U?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
I asked the guy, he responded with a link and I was able to build the binary using the NDK which I installed alongside Android Studio, and I did get root on my phone with it. I'm happy to share the binary if anyone wants to poke the AZf3U and see if it works.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] shassouneh:
I'm willing to give this a go but I don't do Linux (way too much hassle and there's always something that doesn't work right out of the box). Is there a way to run this on a Windows machine? Or at the very least through a Hyper-V VM? (The issue with a VM would be access to the USB port...)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] speculatrix:
It should be possible to map your phone as a USB device through to a linux VM and try the process that way; any decent hypervisor should allow that, with virtualbox or Hyper-V. Create a linux VM using a distro of your choice, ubuntu 16.04 is popular, and then install Android Studio. Do a git clone and build the project. Warning, AndroidStudio is pretty huge, it will take a long while to download, I suggested minimising the number of Android versions you want to support to a minimum. You'll need the toolkit which includes fastboot and adb.

I also think it should be possible to adapt the process to run on a windows machine with a windows binary of ADB. Or, if you are willing, install Android Studio on your windows machine and add the NDK and then build this yourself, if that process would be more familiar.

You can easily get into the bootloader to access fastboot by:
