WMP no longer signed.

Hi, I was excited about the potential of WMP to play m4a files (as most of my music is on my Mac.) I ran the CAB file, which ran with out a problem, then deleted the suggested files. Now when I rund WMP, my phone says that it is unsigned or some of the components are missing :( . I am running a WM6 Gsmart i300
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SH1M4BD3:
Hey seniors out there, am new guy on Sony things..i've spent three days to serch and read some pages, and how-to modding our xperia Z3+.

But seems cannot find the satisfied and clear answers, and finally i decided to post here, as i still confused bout alot of things to do.

First i'm E6533 variants, on the lateat Nougat release from sony, as i wanna full controll i need to root the devices, custom rom is a must thing for me. So the questions is :

1. Can we achieve root on latest firmware (Nougat)?. As ive tried some one-clik tools seems didn't work at all.

2. I read some post, there's rootable firmware using tool called ivy-root, in the post said its on firmware 28.0.A.8.266 which is lollipop versions. Can i downgrading the device to that specific firmware versions without brick??

3. As i concerned about DRM key backup, and how really important it was, so i need to root first, and the only way to achive whole things was downgrading??

Anyone please share and guide me. Thanks
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SH1M4BD3:
Finally done, TA /DRM key backup, u locking BL and flashing the LineageOS by Quarx on my E6533.

Just wanna share you , in case someone needed or has the same questions above:

1. Downgrading to 28.0.A.8.266 i flashed through Flashtool.

2. TA,DRM key backup i used iovy-root tools, rund the .bat script, and keep that backup in the safe places.

3. Upgrading back to Nougat firmware, unlocking BL, flashing TWRP.

4. Flash LineageOS ,thanks [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] its really stable enough
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6samir94:
Hi,i have the same problem,i'm not too god in that but i try to fix my Xperia z3+ Dual E6553

Can you help me with link for iovy-root tools ( this not mean that .zip file ? )

And one more thing,can you relate step by step the proccess what you do ?

Thanks and sory for my unknow
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SH1M4BD3:
1. Just download flashtool latest versions would be better,

2. Download that specifics firmware version using Xperiafirm which its already incl. Inside flash tool.

3. Once it already downloaded, put your phone into flashmode (hold Vol- buttons togather while you plug into usb ports), once its done power on the devices.

4. Enable Usb Debug On developer options, download iovy-root tools here

https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/iovyroot-temp-root-tool-t3349597 remember this not Root your devices permanently, its just teml-root so that the TA backup can be done.

Extract and run the Tabackup.bat (in this step you might get some hang process wait till the tool doing the job, you might also need to retry the process untill TA backup done succesfully, indicates that you have taxxx.img extenttions inside the extracted iovy-tool folder.

Save it,ake some double backup,upload to your drive perhaps..

4. Request unloock head to sony official dev pages, follow every instructions that you got, once you have the code enter the fastboot mode (vol+ ) unlock your BL as sony provided the commands line

5 Profit now you have fully control your devices, flash twrp (i used Oliver's versions)
[AT&T LG V10] ziva1:
My free space is disappearing for no apparent reason. My problem is that according to DiskUsage, my System Data keep getting inflated, crowding out my free space. I had 20 gig of free space last week, but now it is only 2.6 gig. I spent an hour with ATT tech support, but nothing helped. It has almost no media or downloads. I have cleared cache, removed some unneeded apps, but free space keeps shrinking.

Part of the problem is that there are different results using different memory viewing tools. DiskUsage show this. Free = 2.6 G, Apps = 13.4 G + 7.44 G from App Backup (my apk backups), so Apps = 23 G and System data = 24.7 G. I cannot find a way to make the system data smaller. Here is the screenshot. [IMG="DiskUsage"] https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5sbtcVLtbhBT3hvd29zY1ZwV2lhbnhDVnFVTElMVHFhQm9j[/IMG]

AT&T told me to instead look at Settings - Storage & USB - Internal storage, which shows these numbers for various types of files. Free = 2.6 G, Apps = 38.3 G, Other = 10.2 G, System data = 12.5 G, the rest don't matter. I don't know what "Other" files are. Here is the screenshot. [IMG="Storage found in Settings"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5sbtcVLtbhBc3piT2tRYmJJWDFtdE5wNTFlVmNfZkpxYktB[/IMG]

No one knows how to reduce the inflated System data. I tried to delete system dumpfiles using *#9900# but that won't work on my phone. There are about 2000 zero-byte folders which I have not yet deleted because I wanted to check it out with someone knowledgeable before I did.

This is an unlocked unrooted ATT LG V10 with Marshmallow. After receiving it back from warranty repair, I rebuilt it with my apps about two months ago. Would rooting help? This is the first phone I haven't rooted in years. I also really do not want to have to reinstall the apps. How can I free up space without resetting or rooting?

I have been using App Backup to backup and reinstall all my apks. I delete old versions of apks. That is the only thing I've worked on that involves a lot of space, now 7 gig.

I don't know if this is a clue, but another problem also began a few days ago. When it reboots, it "forgets" about 40 out of 500 apps installed and their icons disappear, usually the same ones each time. It acts like registry entries are lost. All the files and settings remain so when I reinstall those apps myself, everything works like before. If I do not reinstall them myself, the Play store automatically reinstalls them. This keeps happening most time I reboot.

Any ideas? I won't be able to download anything soon without a reset.
[AT&T LG V10] Shadow Assassin:
Ok, first off, no root is available for the v10 H900 (At&T) if the phone has android 6.0 and up (marshmellow).

Second. 500 apps?!?!?!? Your standard app count is around 80 on the phones first boot. One problem could be a rouge app that is constantly creating files and folders.

Your storage is all in one chip and is partitioned. You system partition is set, you cant add to it, but in the event of some sort of bug, theres quite a few ways your system memory could be false reading or actually taking on extra data. So lets start some diagnostics.

1. Make a full back up of your phone. (a full wipe may be used with other steps.

2. Download and run Storage Analyzer-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rjhartsoftware.storageanalyzer

This is going to give us a good idea of whats going on. It digs into each file of your storage. Now yes, it only reads the internal and sd storage but, those partitions may play a part in your problem.

3. Now, on that app, it will also list your total internal memory available for apps and personal files. It excludes your system. So mine shows i have 51.48gb total. So i have about 9 gigs dedicated for system, android file structures and so on. The only thing that can change system storage is the system or system apps themselves. So see if you have anything thats building up in your internal. im wondering if the partition structures are corrupt.

4.Go to general options and then storage and click internal storage, wait for it to calculate all the data. Once its done, look through and see if anything seems off or is oddly using alot of storage, then click app data and see what apps are using the most storage. We want multiple points of detail for your storages, thats why we are looking at your storage usage through many different ways.

5. If you notice something very low like your apps usage, that might be a clue. Because my system usage is apparently capped at 4.5 gigs with 700 mb of free space. Your system should not read 24 gigs.

I know you may have already covered some of this, but there is reason to my insanity so just go with it and PM me there results of your findings. Just include anything that you didnt initially see in your first try at figuring it out. I may have a fix but need to be sure of your results first.

CD Switcher requires [root].

If you are into IT or cautious or ever had a drive die, you know that sometimes you can't trust a hard drive. Need to resize a partition but can't do it while the system is running? Want a clean virus scan? We all need a good boot disk sometimes and now you can carry a bunch on your phone !

Like DriveDroid and similar products, this uses the gadget driver in the Linux kernel. This updated version should work on more devices and custom ROMs, but has had very little testing. It's Alpha-ware and I'll add more features later.

Install CD Switcher APK (yes, I wrote it) from here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZdSYIhs7pq8IrOZ4NBX4dzPSYP5tdeIh/view?usp=drivesdk

Now tap on any ISO file. It can be inside an email or on the web and it will download it. (Unfortunately, this is how it works with the OOS file manager, meaning it makes an extra copy, so using FX, pictured, is recommended). The system will ask how to open it. Select CD switcher and 'Always' and grant root when it asks.

The DriveDroid APK doesn't work on stock OOS. I've booted many CDs with this tool. You can change CDs with just a tap. Have fun with your 128GB!

EDIT: New version using better methods doesn't rely on OOS init.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] knightrider64:
Sweet! I have always wanted to be able to do this but I have not been able to ever get drivedroid to work! I can't wait to try it out and not have to carry around more than my phone and a usb cable
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
I've heard drivedroid works with other kernels but the UI is a nightmare so I would still rather use this. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] thomas_pieps:
Great app, works fine. But how do you umount the iso?
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] domsch1988:
Any chance to get vhd's to work? I have an external hard drive that boots CDs and vhd's. Would be great to have it all on my phone :good:
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
You can't. Not really any need to since it mounts read only. You can unplug it at any time.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
You could do a raw disk image such as created by "dd" (and name it with an ISO extension even though it isn't), but I'd have to do more work to enable write access. All the work is done by the kernel which wants a raw disk image.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] stevenswall:
Can whatever it writes to the system be unwritten? Would I be able to take and OTA update after using this if I removed it and the ISO files?
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
No! Full OTA only. Its not about the changes made. Your /system partition is on an ext4 filesystem which is journalled. Every write changes metadata and the journal. Incremental OTAs generally will change data block by block, and there is no telling what blocks it will change. The ISO files and APK aren't on the system partition and won't affect anything.

There is an older version of this that doesn't write to the system partition at all, but you have to set the ISO with the cable unplugged and then plug in your USB. The moment you change USB in any way, such as turning on MTP, the oneplus init scripts will revert the configuration back to the default USB drivers. Turning the USB drivers ISO into a symlink is what lets it survive MTP being turned on and is minimally invasive and revertable, but it still modfies blocks in the filesystem. If you want the older/safe one I can put up the link, just know that MTP and this can't be on at once with the old one since OnePlus has a bug that keeps turning off MTP (same thing that reverts the ISO).

I'm actually pretty sure it will be safe, but I personally wouldn't chance it and am recommending against it. The best bet would be to make a Magisk module, but I'm planning on replacing Magisk with something of my own, so I can't really spend time on such a solution. Since you've already rooted, using full OTAs over incremental is generally the method most people use anyway and will be totally safe. A system update will set your ISO back to USB drivers, just set your new ISO with the app again and it will be fine.

[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] DJArielLB:
installed the app but can't see it in app drawer can't open it!

my mistake.

i tested it and it works but without boot option. can u enable the option to write on the image? not read only?

and i tried to mount a windows installation iso and it doesnt work properly. i want to connect the phone to usb and boot from it to install

windows and other operating systems... and use disk tools etc

what can i\u do? thanks!!!
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] R3dRacer:
How can I use this on AOSPA Because you say it only works with the OnePlus File Manager. I got the apk for that but I cant install it because it conflicts with the current file explorer from AOSPA built in, I cant remove it with System App Uninstaller. Any solutions?
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
Yes
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
An ISO is read only. It can't be written to. I have mounted a Windows install ISO just fine. What was the error?
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
Actually, it only worked on OnePlus phones because it needed the USB setup used on OnePlus.

Somehow this thread got unmarked and I missed all the responded. Sorry! The good news is that I have a new Alpha version that should work on non-OnePlus devices and ROM's. This one doesn't touch the system partition either.

[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
Source is on my Github
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Wait so how do I use this? I selected to open the ISO with the app, and I granted root, and it said iso location, etc.

I plugged it into my PC via USB but I'm not seeing a bootable option...

Edit now I see a usb item but it tells me grub incorrect filesystem or something

I'm trying an Ubuntu iso
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
If you got to rub that it's actually booting off of the phone. It's up to the iso manufacturer to make sure that you can boot off a USB CD-ROM. So the phone is working, it's something in the iso that's messed up. Try a different ISO image
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
it's supposed to close itself. Does the drive not show up?.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] Immortalis:
No, MTP showed up
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
well, MTP and the CD drive aren't mutually exclusive. I'll do some more testing and see if OOS has different kernel paths. I should have a new version this week that'll solve it.

I have some ideas on where this is all heading, so stay tuned. ?
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] Immortalis:
I saw via "mount" command that usb_drivers.iso, stored on /system/etc is mounted to /dev/sde18 (boot), but that's because of Magisk. I'm not sure whether is has to do something with the app not working; I'm currently testing a custom ROM and using DriveDroid (which works apparently), but I can test your app on this ROM too
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
You can't mount a file onto a device. Can you post that line from 'mount'? In either case, that's not likely to be the issue. All we're doing is giving the filename you select to a kernel /sys file and turning on USB mass storage. The /sys file for that seems to differ in different kernels, so that's what I'm fixing now.

I was on Vertex before and OOS/Oreo now, so that I can test it.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] Immortalis:
Ah, I didn't save the output to the file, so I can't currently help with that.

And why file can't be mounted to device? Isn't it a basic feature of Linux? For example, I can mount /data/adb/magisk.img to /mnt/magisk (newly created folder) in TWRP. Maybe you meant something else?

BTW. I tried to fire up the app on Omni, but it fails and no device is visible - nor CD, nor MTP, even ADB (mounting and unmounting with DriveDroid restored USB functionality without rebooting). I will grab a logcat later
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
You Mount a device to a folder. The contents of the device are then available inside the folder because the folder contains the filesystem on the device. You can't Mount onto a file (or device). In other words, Mount only works onto a branch, not a leaf.

To debug Omni, I'd need the output of "ls -lR /sys/class/android_usb/" But try the new version first. And yeah, sorry about the confusing interface. I wanted to get the internals going first ? Ideally, in the future it will wait until you activate file transfer and/or ask, display disk names, give a notification, etc
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
New version, just a one-line fix (OK, 2) which should make it work on OOS and systems whose kernels are set up the same way. One calls the directory "lun" and the other "cdrom", so now it just tries both.

I copied over the old one, so link should be the same.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
OK ... cleaned up the interface and made the CD Name appear in a Toast when mounting the ISO. As long as there are no problems, that's all the interface you'll see.

Storage permission is to read the ISO name from the header
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] rrusl1:
Hello , I got an question - I can make an bootable windows drive , and can use it to re-install windows (for example)?Thank you in advance
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] Needles_one:
Doesn't work, unfortunately. Stock OOS 5.0.4 with RenderZenith kernel. Magisk v16.0.

When I tap on the ISO image I have a toast message showing ISO name and plug\unplug sounds in the system (Windows 10), although the drive itself doesn't show up on the list.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
Does the original drivers ISO show up?

I use custom ROMs, but it should be portable to both as I had my roomate on OOS test it while I used another. There are basically two possible interfaces.

Open a root file manager and see whats under /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage

Should either be LUN folder or CDROM folder. If you don't have either or that path isn't found let me know.

Also, please test with stock kernel.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] burcbuluklu:
I tried gparted iso that boots on usb but doesn't work with this. It show as storage device on bios not as bootable media. Is there any other option to change? I just opened the iso with the app while connected to pc. Slax linux doesn't work either. I'm using Oneplus 5T with OOS 5.1.4 and franco kernel.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
OOS may be doing something weird and resetting the options. OOS wants to push its own drivers ISO every time a cable is inserted, which would include when the PC boots. I had a hack that would fix this, but it required writing to the system partition.

I'll see what I can do
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] burcbuluklu:
Thank you. I'm waiting for your update.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] lucaterpirla:
I have OnePlus 5 as well, with oos 5.1.5 and xx no limit magisk module (almost like a rom) installed and blu_spark kernel. It does not work. I have tried this app, USB mountr and drivedroid as well but non of them worked.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
I can shoot you an older version maybe that will work. You have to modify the system partition and make your new image the same one but oxygen OS is trying to load. This is because every time you plug in a cable oxygen glasses resetting this value to their default ISO
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] lucaterpirla:
That would be great. Just tell me what to do on the system partition and hit me up with this older version. I'll let you know if it works.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
The app will do it for you. I just need to look for the old one when I get home.

I actually intended to wait for OOS to do it's thing and then "correct" it, so that I don't have to touch /system, but I don't use OOS and no one running it seemed to want this ?

Basically, all the old version does is change the original ISO into a Unix symlink that points to the file you selected. That way, OOS thinks it's connecting up the drivers disk, but the contents will be your file. I'm dead tired and errands to run, but remind me tomorrow if I don't get back to you.

Finally I have managed to boot a Slitaz linux image from my oneplus 5, but I didn't use any app, just a terminal command:

su
echo "/storage/emulated/0/Download/slitaz.iso" > /config/usb_gadget/g1/functions/mass_storage.0/lun.0/file

I am trying to make it a shell script and use tasker to run it as a shortcut, but I am really not good at it.
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] uudruid74:
Basically all this does is that same terminal command. The only difference is is different colors have different paths to that logical unit number. I'll add the path that you just sent to this program and it should start working for you. Just give me a couple of days to add that in there
[OnePlus 3T Themes, Apps, and Mods] lucaterpirla:
I managed to make a simple app without UI. I wrote the script in tasker and then exported it as app. I don't know if it might be helpful for you. The app will not work for you because according to the script you must have a IMG file called slitaz.iso in /sdcard. But maybe you wanted to see the APK.
