[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc2904:
Hey guys .

Im not familiar with any of this but I have a new Blu Studio XL2 with build BLU_S0270UU_V09_GENERIC and I want to root so I can remove the adups malware that is mentioned here which came pre-installed on the phone.

ht tps://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2016/11/mobile-menace-monday-adups-old-and-new

Im a bit nervous about bricking my phone though. Ive already seen where someone did that by putting a V08 build on top of their V09. Also the last post on this thread sounds like killer13666 was left with an unresolved issue using the steps mentioned here. I know its a lot to ask but any chance someone is willing to put together a noob friendly step-by step walkthrough that does not assume I already know how to use adb, twrp, etc ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
killer13666 Is commenting on my custom port rom, and we resolved issue there, in the custom rom thread. I knew should have made note of it here in thread.

If you just want rooted stock rom. Then you can simply flash SuperSu or Majisk from twrp.

Then make your changes.

I sugest for you to not only be concerned with the "fota" app but also remove "IgniteBluOEM" it is in /system/priv-app and is responsible for installing adware disguised as games. And even after you dissable or remove the games they get re-installed because of "IgniteBluOEM"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieSummers:
Just got the Studio XL2 S0270UU, have not yet installed any SIM cards, have not connected it to the Internet, have carefully not done anything I can't cheerfully throw away on a factory reset.

I have rooted the device and checked that, though, although I haven't yet permanently installed a recovery (been booting to it through fastboot).

To start off, I am wondering whether or not it's possible to set this phone up without encryption under the stock ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieSummers:
Yeah, also apparently HtmlViewer.apk. I screwed up with IgniteBluOEM.apk (created a ZIP instead of a Gzip'd tar before deleting), so if I need to return it for any reason, my permissions are going to be wrong. I used Titanium Backup to freeze HtmlViewer.apk, and for good measure the "BLU HTML Viewer" as well.

Am I correct that FotaProvider should be frozen as well?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
To try block ota then yes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieSummers:
Thanks, was unclear. I immediately froze Wireless Update, but wasn't sure I needed to stomp FotaProvider as well. Done.

Now to find replacements for all the bloated Google apps...seriously, need Phone permissions to display a picture? Android used to be so nice before the Big G started treating it as a profit center...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asdfguy86:
Worked eventually

Thank you so much for this. Wanted to go back to the stock ROM while keeping TWRP as the video recording was still not working for me on RR 7.1.2 even with Open Camera. Most videos would fail to play too.

If anyone thought it took a while, so did I! It will work, just give it time.

Sorry fellas, been offline a while. Charged up the ole g2 classic, and I have a few Rolex, Omega's and the like faces. Went to look at whats available for GWD, and I cannot find the single website I used to download the files. This website had the faces in categories such as Rolex, Tags, etc...any idea the site address? or one that has what I am looking for? This one was totally free as well.

I currently have a Nexus 6P. I dropped it a week ago shattering the phone, but I'm looking to get something better. I'm looking for something that has a good processor, adequate storage, good dev support, great camera quality, dual flash F/R cameras, quick updates. I have had a HTC M8 before, so I'm not really interested in the HTC10 nor do I want any Samsung product. What are your ideas on the OnePlus 3T? What's the community like? What's the future of OnePlus devices looking like? I'm not really sure if I want to get a Pixel device either. I'm not really that impressed with Pixel features or the Pixel for that matter.

Hi, I have a Zenpad 8 (Z380KL or P024) and I make a factory reset by pressing power+volume up. After reset tablet and boot-up there is only message "Unfortunatley, com.android.settings has stopped" and I cannot get rid this message (message repeats immediatley after pressing "OK").

I try to download new firmware and put it to microSD card. From the emergency menu enter "sd down" option but nothing hapends. Also I try to connect tablet with PC but also failed.

Is there some way how to repair it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] yoyoyo000:
Hey guys,

Want to wipe my phone fresh since I'm running out of space. My phone has been telling me for months that I have an update, but I haven't updated because I've been told on here never to do OTA updates.

I tried looking around for a stock rooted ROM for this like I've flashed for other versions, but I can't much if any info on the new PL1 update. Usually, someone posts a de-knoxed, rooted version of the software. Is that around or what should I do?

How should I do the update? If I download it from sammobile and flashed it, will that screw up my phone?

Edit: TBH, it's been a while since I've done this and have forgotten the right terminology. I'm not sure if my phone is "unlocked," but I have Philz Touch recovery on it, definitely rooted, and whatever else is built into those modified stock ROMs. Just want to wipe, update, and keep my functionality without bricking or something, since I need this thing working. I can't seem to find a straightforward post on here, and I'm just so busy with school I feel like I can't catch up and relearn all this stuff again.

Thanks for the help
[Wing, P4350 General] computerkid23:
do i need to unlock my wing to put a rom on there?
[Wing, P4350 General] GiZZy:
Most of the time, no

unless the rom you are trying to install is not made for the wing, then u might run into some problems but if u flash it using a nbh format, wich is how most roms are lately it bypasses the ID check
[Wing, P4350 General] computerkid23:
ok so the rom open touch version 2.2 for the wing it says erron 240 update utility out of date why is that?
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
It's a NBH format. You'll have to run the USPL along with it.
[Wing, P4350 General] mgreig:
IS there a CID unlock free tool floating around here somewhere? I can't seem to dig anything up. Can do the free carier unlock through TMO, but what about CID unlocking? And perhaps the real question is: "Is there any point to CID unlocking a TMO Wing if you can flash the ROM via NBH-compatible ROM?"

many thnx
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
HardSPL and USPL is the way to flash NBH files. What they do is that they bypass the CID check. Think of it as a poor man's CID unlock.

are you trying to say we're all broke asses in here? hahaha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
I have the Sprint model. Is it safe to try?

Anyone try this yet.?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
I believe the Sprint variant is similar enough hardware-wise to the Verizon variant.

As with everything, make sure you backup, and store the backup somewhere other than your phone.

That being said, I believe there are no risks, other than possibly an hour or so of downtime (if something goes wrong with the installation). Since EFIDroid only modifies the boot and recovery partitions, if something goes wrong, you can always flash TWRP via Odin, and then in TWRP flash the boot.img from whichever ROM you're currently running to get back up and running.

If you're willing to wait, I have a friend who has volunteered to test this out on his Sprint variant in a week or two (when he gets his daily driver back).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Neuken69:
There is my error now ... what boot and recovery img are you talking about??

im runnng aurora ROM now and i swap between that and Noble ROM not sure if that plays into the error

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

If you have devices.json in that folder and your running a n910v ... can you share that file?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
Is Noble ROM or Aurora ROM a Note 5/7 port? Because that may be the issue. The app might be getting confused.

I have another user who's having the same issue, with a Note 7 port ROM... I'll have to debug on my end, and see what the problem is... The app is supposed to be downloading that file from the OTA server...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Being on Note 7 port, as you said I've changed product code.

I'm really sorry that I can't test right now by flashing stock firmware but I promise I'll do it sooner.

If anybody else is on stock, please report!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Neuken69:
Im downloading paulpizz stock rom ... will be testing within 45 min
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
Guys, can you install the attached debug apk, clear data, grant storage permission, and then try again? If it still errors, can you send me a logcat?

[MENTION=5851726]Preet Juneja[/MENTION] There's a way to get logcat without a computer, using the Matlog app from the Play Store. See this for details:

https://www.xda-developers.com/guide-sending-a-logcat-to-help-debug-your-favorite-app/

You don't need to do the adb part if you're rooted...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
All logs related to EFIDroid attached:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
Did you just search for all lines containing EFIDroid, or did you actually filter by app? Because these logs seem incomplete...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Logs: (From launching EFIDroid app to pausing logs on Matlog app)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
Did you put anything into the "Override OTA Server" dialog? From the logs, either there's something wrong with the app, or you put "samsung/trltevzw" into the dialog...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Oh. I put it when I didn't edit build.prop (when it was Noblelte). I already tried clearing data due to which it should've removed. Well if it didn't, how can I remove it?

I'm sure it's problem from my side and not yours... it's all because I'm using custom ROM.

UPDATE:

YES IT OPENED!

I emptied that override OTA server and the app finally asked for Root access!

Thank you so much, I'll sooner report what will be the next.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abraha2d:
No problem, it should probably be clearer. That dialog is for entering a different URL for the OTA server, not a different device codename. Just remove what's in there, and press Ok. That will clear it. :good:

EDIT: Just saw your edit. Nice to hear it's working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Thank you so much.

Will update you soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Neuken69:
Ok now what???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Just reboot your device to see changes!

Perfectly working, please add N910G support as 'confirmed' in 1st post.

Also, you can add instructions for custom ROM user to edit build.prop as required.

I was able to boot into TWRP and ROM without use of fastboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] aaron74:
Thanks! So this allows you to dual boot 2 different roms?

One is primary installed as normal, i take. Now the second one, how is it installed? How is it saved?

Thank you. I'm just curious. This sounds convenient to have your daily driver as primary, and be able to test other roms without constantly backing up and restoring. Am i correct in thinking this way? :)
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19thatguy81:
tldr: android no longer boots on my nexus 9. but i can still get into the boot menu and a factory reset hasn't helped. any ideas?

Long version: The other night while trying to update to the latest release of android my nexus 9 crashed out and now when ever i turn it on i see the google logo for about 10 seconds and it crashes out again and is stuck in an endless boot cycle.

I am still able to get into the the menu ( vol up + power ) but a factory reset hasn't helped and nothing i do with the recovery mode seems to help my PC detect it.

I cant seem to get any menu options once i enter recovery mode (the picture of the android guy on his back with his chest plate open) and my PC cant detect the device. I can confirm the PC and USB cable work fine as i can plug my nexus 5 in to the USB cable and ADB detects in instantly.

Someone /r/nexus9 suggest i should use FASTBOOT instead of ADB but i cant get it to detect the device either. So it was suggested to try my luck here for some answers.

edit: ok so i have now worked out that i couldn't get the menu up in recovery mode was i was pressing the vol up and the power buttons wrong. and the nexus 9 tell sme to run ADB sideload *file* and when i do it adb just crashes.

edit2: i have solved my issues.. /r/nexus9 recommended i use the nexus root toolkit and it has solved my issues with a little poking around with out having to root my tablet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MidKnightBojangles:
Hey everyone,

I've been experiencing deteriorating performance from my Verizon Galaxy Note 2. I got it in 2013, and it's been my daily driver since. Over the last year the phone has been giving me more issues. About 5 months ago, it would actually de-mount the system, cache, everything, to which I'd need to reflash the rom on ODIN. Things were laggy but tolerable until about 2 months ago, when the phone started crashing randomly. Now it crashes and reboots at least 8-14 times a day. This can be from using apps, or just from sitting on a desk on its own. I've always done decent maintenance on it, reformatting it when it needed it, but now, after clearing the cache and data, it's doing better, but is still lagging from just changing pages of apps.

Since I accepted the 4.4.2 OTA update, my bootloader is locked and I know my options are super limited. Is there any way I can eliminate the laggy behavior? I don't mind using non-stock roms (in fact I was planning on doing that before I found out about the bootloader being locked), but what works with the bootloader locked? I've heard about safestrap and some other solutions, but I'm not skilled in roms enough to feel confident trying something without more experienced opinions and advice.

Here are some specs for my device:

Baseband: I605VRUFND7

Kernel: 3.0.31, dpi@SWDD5710 #1

Build #: KOT49H.I605VRUFND7

Any suggestions, guide links, or advice is greatly appreciated! I can't afford a new phone just yet, but push comes to shove I guess I have to do what I have to.

[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
If you had the money to get a new phone moving from the Nexus 6p. Would you go ahead and get a better phone or would you pay to get the screen repaired. Deciding to keep the phone instead. The community here, while it's been amazing seems to be dying as more devs and users alike move on to OP3T or Pixel. I'm seriously thinking about dropping down $459 for a OP3T. If you had the money would you go ahead and move to another phone?
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Personally I don't like Pixel. It's mostly on principle--to me its the device that killed the Nexus line (and not by competing but just because Google decided to.)

Beyond that I don't know that the price tag justifies upgrading. Bump in hardware, but no stereo speakers and in terms of real performance I don't think the user is gaining much if he drops the 6p for Pixel. Of course this is just what Ive read but for the price difference Id want more.

I'm not really seeing the developer scene die the way you describe. Feels like Ive got more good choices in roms & kernels than I need.

If I were going to buy a new phone I might take a closer look at the OPO 3T. But Im happy with the 6p for now.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
Oh no I never meant to postulate that I was upset with the Nexus 6P line. There have been a lot of issues lately with the hardware that have caused countless others to have bootloops and then faulty battery issue drains that have to be fixed by RMAing. Hoping to god you get back a phone of equal use. I have read that one user had such a problem. He sent in 6 6p's and they all had the same exact issue every time. This of course sounds absurd and highly inaccurate. I made my decision as I'm going go keep my 6p. I'm taking it to get the screen fixed tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
every device has life cycles, im sure as the device ages and price drops it'll be a very popular dev device because its a fairly high spec nexus device. a lot of popular devs buy almost every new device they like as it comes out. i wont be upgrading my 6p for another year or two, its very fast with f2fs and the other phones out atm arent a major improvement.
[Nexus 6P General] Jxcorex29:
From one 6p user to another. Do you have any ideas where I can find a sturdy, streamlined case that protects both the glass and phone. I have a case, but it's rather bulky. I was using a skin when my phone shattered.
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
I just paid the deductible to have my phone replaced ($79). I think Huawei charges about double that for a screen replacement.

When Nexus Protect expires. I plan to pay the $140 for SquareTrade.

The 6p is long from outdated.
[Nexus 6P General] Curiousn00b:
I believe that you should get a new phone between every 2-3 years.

On the status of my current 6P, or past devices, I've never damaged one of them before. My 6P did go dead once though... ?
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
I am looking for some new phone too.

(Also need some official custom ROMs like RR etc. on that phone.)
[Nexus 6P General] josephh71:

I bought this one with a tempered glass protector. Not too bulky and comes up over the edges of the glass. It has worked for me so far.

I'm saving money to join op3t users. I'm really disappointed from Huawei support and I want to leave this device as soon as possible
[Nexus 6P General] RelayTech:
I'm finding it difficult to leave the 6P. I used to be the guy that updated every yr but with the 6P I don't have that desire. It still feels snappy (most of the time) and it is very difficult for me to give up the stereo speakers. I don't know if I can go back to non-stock android. The camera speed was an issue for me but when I installed the Camera NX mod, it def made it more snappy. I'll reconsider again when I see what the Pixel 2 has to offer because the Pixel was not worthwhile for me, especially at that price but for now I am staying put.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I agree, while it may not be the nicest hardware, it is an all around solid performer and was a good price.

I have a few qualms with it, but in general I've been happy with it for sure. Definitely the best nexus phone that was released, especially when you factor in everything together.
[Nexus 6P General] aheeejd:
I just bought a 6p, off of swappa so I hope development continues for long long time. I have now the ls990 lg g3, & there's a handful of ROMs, & back when the nexus 5 came out I had that, & development is still going on for that. So I am not worried. I know I'll never again touch an lg device, problems several times. So I can't wait for 6p to ship to me.
