Hi,

I'm trying to port EfiDroid (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3447466) to the European G5 H850. I would be happy if you can boot into the image attached, which is a alternative fastboot for EfiDroid and report.

A few days ago I tried to boot into twrp with the command above, but I have an locked bootloader. The file was transferred and after this an error popped up which is normal, because my bootloader is locked. And so I guess the Command is supported ( I have the european H850).

Here is the proof fastboot boot is supported: https://theunlockr.com/2016/11/22/root-lg-g5/3/#How-to-Root-the-LG-G5-H850-European-Version

EfiDroid is a patch for Kernels which enables a second Bootloader known as UEFI. In order to get it, you have to patch a existing boot.img. 20a for h850 as exapmle does need the 20a Kernel with EfiDroid flashed on the Device to work. I don't know what happens here but the OP should provide Stock Boot Images with EfiDroid Patch for h830 and h850 for testing. Just pull the Images from AutoPrimes Threads and do Your thing. Provide some infos and do:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Instead of just booting it. I don't see a reason for posting non booting Kernels since it's really simple to get it working at all... No Offense, just a Tipp...

Could it be that because (bootloader) secure:yes is the reason we can't boot through fastboot without flashing? Cause fastboot boot give this output

So that's why,your lk.img isn't signed and that's why it doesn't allow boot through fastboot.

Any progress on this so far or are you still debugging on the current lk.img??

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FormelLMS:
Hi,

my Z Play has stock nougat ROM and I have a big problem.

If I go out of a WiFi network area, the phone switches to mobile network. Signal shows full. But if I start apps like TuneIn or make a Google web search or anything like this, it doesn't work. It loads and loads and loads forever.

So I have to switch it to airplane mode and back and then it works.

WhatsApp comes to my device in this case, but nothing bigger.

Does someone have this problem, too and can help me what I can do?

That's really annoying. Sometimes it lost connection while I'm in mobile network, then I have to do the airplane mode thing, too....

[Security Discussion] nutpants:
Since almost everything I do is on a tablet or desktop I had no idea when I was asked this question recently. So I started looking and found nothing that did not hook into Android contracts which sync online or the database is not protected from any app searching it.

So I'm asking the community. What is the best dialer and contacts app for Android.

Something that does not..

Connect to the internet for number lookup or sync

Does not use the Android contacts database or at least encrypts anything it saves there

Zero internet access preferred.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
it's not exactly what you were looking for but I used to use Flock Sync (from Open Whisper Sys) on my private phone, unfortunately they have stopped development but as it was open source you should be able to find the apk and as you can set up your own server it should still work, though don't know about new nougat ROM's.

Original press release

https://whispersystems.org/blog/flock/

There is also at least one alternative called Cucumber Sync or maybe consider Owncloud or similar?

However apps like Flock are not much use if you are trying to keep all your contacts private from the likes of Google or the state as most of your friends will just sync YOUR details to Google/Apple/etc, furthermore the likes of Google could quickly make a fairly accurate assumption that you would know some other contacts that did also use apps like Flock as they would be able to easily build a network of each of those Flock users contacts 99% of which did sync, pick out common contacts with you and make an assumption you probably know the other Flock user. And of course as soon as you make a phone call or send a msg, email etc your network provider and others would be able to tell you are in contact, so not much use if you are trying to hid from the big boys! That said it does offer another layer of security/privacy in normal scenarios ......

[MENTION=7932929]doswar[/MENTION], Try youtube. There are plenty of videos in hindi to flash custom ROM.

By the way, reqd. steps would be:

1. Install adb and fastboot drivers on pc. Also, minimal adb and fastboot should have been installed first.

2. Reboot phone and flash the latest twrp.

3. Boot into twrp and flash any custom rom.

First of all, don't just use Hindi. It's against the forum rules to talk in any other language than english. If you have problem in English, its not a big deal. You can try Google Translate and can post in hindi along with English translation.

Now, coming to your problem, I told you the right order to flash a custom rom. You don't need to root your phone first to flash a custom rom.

Once again I'm telling you the steps in right order. This time you don't even need a computer for this.

Download KingRoot, Official TWRP, Rashr Flashing Tool, Any Custom ROM you want (better try any official 7.1.1 build, maybe AOSP Extended), Gapps according to the android version of the ROM you want to flash.

Install KingRoot open it and root your device. Then install Rashr. Give it the root permissions when it asks. Choose flash recovery from storage and choose the downloaded twrp. After its done. Choose boot to recovery.

Your phone will boot into TWRP. Select Backup and make a backup of the current ROM.

Now go to Wipe and choose System, Data, Cache, Dalvik.

Then, go to Install and select the ROM. When its done Install gapps without wiping anything.

Then Reboot your phone when all is done.

[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] paradise-san:
I live in a Portuguese town where I virtually never get LTE coverage, because the Mi Max lacks LTE band 20 (800MHz). Do I save battery life choosing "3G Only" instead of "LTE / 3G Auto" in the network options? I guess it should save battery because the modem isn't always searching for an LTE signal that isn't there, or appears only in rare ocasions, am I right, or it's totally irrelevant, and I'd better leave it in Auto mode?

Thanks in advance and sorry if posted this question in the wrong section.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
Lately it seems more and more developers are relying on safetynet for apps and features (especially google, i REALLY miss getting surveys with opinion rewards :[ )

So I'm curious if anyone has an idea what currently triggers a failed response.

Does busybox fail?

Does selinux need to be enforcing?

Does system status need to be "official"

Etc.

Lastly, bonus question:

Are there any custom kernels for g920p that don't auto root and install busybox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
It is fairly complex.

1) https://developer.android.com/training/safetynet/index.html

"SafetyNet examines software and hardware information on the device where your app is installed to create a profile of that device. The service then attempts to find this same profile within a list of device models that have passed Android compatibility testing. "

2) https://www.howtogeek.com/241012/sa...y-and-other-apps-dont-work-on-rooted-devices/

"Google uses something called SafetyNet to detect whether your device is rooted or not, and blocks access to those features. Google isn’t the only one, either–plenty of third-party apps also won’t work on rooted Android devices, although they may check for the presence of root in other ways."

You may already know this from the other thread regarding Magisk, but my suggestion is to return to stock via Odin, then follow the instructions from the Magisk thread here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
Thanks for chiming in!

Dang there's a lot going on, i guess google is being pretty tight lipped about exactly what info they use.

But yea, at the moment I'm completely stock with magisksu and magisk v11.1

The issue is that magisk has to be re-installed after every boot, meaning there are a few minutes where safetynet and gms have the opportunity to see my root before i re-install magisk. (From what i gather from the magisk op thread, this could be fixed with a custom kernel... tested succesfully with skyhigh, but then failed safetynet and i don't know why.)

The other issue with the magisk set-up on complete stock is that Titanium backup and some other root-related apps seem to be almost entirely broken. Magisk OP thread sheds some light about that, something about system needing to mounted as rw (which I'm unable to change, since root hardly works at all)... a couple weeks ago the magisk dev said he was going to work on a fix for that, but I'm not banking on it.

So to summarize, I'm trying to figure out how to run a custom kernel (or even rom if possible) without failing safetynet... because even if i flash skyhigh on stock, Uninstall busybox, set se linux to enforced, uninstall supersu, and wipe davlik i still fail safetynet.

Or I'm i just too greedy wanting the freedom of root AND the comfort of stock behavior? (android pay, google opinion rewards, consistent play service function and updates etc)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I would guess that a custom kernel alone (no SuperSU or BusyBox) would cause a failure. It seems like any kernel mod would do so.

Magisk is an attempt to solve this, but doesn't seem quite there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
I'd believe that, i guess that'd really be the obvious first step in profiling a device's environment.

Given that I'm guessing it'd just check the system info, all the info on the about device page in settings and compare it to which kernel i should have.

So in the interest of crawling deeper down this rabbit hole, I'm going to see what can be done to mock that info >:)

Also in defense of magisk, from what i gather, magisk is an extremely effective hands-off root solution... unless you have a samsung device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
[MENTION=7553501]Nye-uhls[/MENTION], you should definitely check this out: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71398440&postcount=342

New kernel with built-in Magisk support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
Thats huge. I'm officially no longer putting effort into getting magisk working in anticipation of that new kernel.

Thank you for the heads up, probably wouldve kept sweating over this for a few more days lol.

[General Questions and Answers] kodath:
Hi guys,

I have a question about Googles FRP lock.

So yesterday I sold my phone to someone on craigslist and had let him test it out before buying it. I was on the android beta program and he wanted to un-enroll from it so he would be on the latest stable OS.

The next are a series of steps we did to go back to the latest stable OS:

1) Factory reset the phone (my google password was changed 2 weeks ago)

2) Buyer created a temporary gmail to enroll and un-enroll the device from beta

3) Received the system update (latest stable version)

4) Waited for it to finish install

5) Once the phone was booted back up, he forgot the username he had made

6) I try my previous e-mail and get to the two step verification and I get a popup that says please wait 24 hours because of a password change (I read online something about a 72 hour lockout after a password change)

7) Right now I am stuck with a brick device

So my question is, after this 24 or 72 hours lock out time, can I sign back in with my original gmail? Or would the FRP lock me out because the last account that was synced to the device was the account that he created temporary and forgot the username to? Or can I sign in with any Google account that has been previously synced to the device?

Side Notes:

- When I tried signing back on with my account (after I received the popup saying try again in 24 hours) I received an email from Google right away asking me to review the sign in.

- When I check my Google devices, it does show that I have 2 Google Pixel devices on there, the 1st one was before the factory reset, and the 2nd is when I tried to sign in again after the reset (these 2 Pixel devices are the same)

Thank you everyone!

Hello, i have this question because i'm kinda scared to get my credit card stolen or hacked, but i really need to use Uber, so i came here to ask because you guys have a lot of experience on this i believe, btw i've installed some apps out from the Play Store (Like Xposed etc.) and i've checked them with Kaspersky Antivirus, it told me that it was all clean but i better would like to listen the answer from a expert android user

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWilsonxD:
I'm no expert, but here are some of the things I have learned.

Someone running Windows XP CAN be safer than someone using the latest generation macbook air pro thing. What matters is what apps are installed, what sort of network are you using, are you using a vpn?

If you rooted with kingroot or some other oneclick root method... Well.. I would recommend using magisk, phh, or chainfire's flashable zips as they're not going to install bloatware/data mining applications onto your phone.

If you don't have any malicious apps installed be it from the play store or sideloads,AFAIK your security is not compromised simply be being rooted. I would recommend using a vpn for all your online transactions though. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ryant35:
I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan from Verizon. I have the 450 minute & 1K Message & $39.99 data plan for a total of $81.98. I've never once gone over my minutes in years so more than 450 isn't required.

The new unlimited everything plan is $85 and this includes Mobile Hot Spot (Needed now that FoxFi doesn't work on Nougat).

Has anyone made this switch? Is it as good of a deal as it seems? I wonder if this new plan is throttled or if it's the same as what I have now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mbeau88:
It's very much throttled unfortunately. In the fine print it says your internet speed will be de-prioritized after 22GB (meaning you'll be queued after other non-unlimited users), and the hotspot will only run on 3G which is basically worthless compared to 4G or WiFi.

If you are gonna switch, consider selling your plan on eBay, they're going for $1500-$1800 bucks. I'm never gonna get rid of mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] zimgir124:
Speeds should be the same, throttling may happen if you "use over 22GB and are in a heavily congested area."

Hotspot should also be the same but it also applies to throttling at 22GB if it is congested.

Id go to Verizon and ask them what costs would be and if you'd save money by switching to the new plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] bigmike35:
You get 10gb of hotspot at 4G speeds then downgraded to 3G speeds (some users reported not getting downgraded to 3G or seeing differences after 10gb). I made the switch and have yet to notice any differences. I normally end up around 20-30gb used a month.

Also you don't get throttled you get de-prioritized in congested area, meaning someone would connect to the tower before you if over 22gb. And who know what is consider a "congested" area.
