[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sweet_anesthesia:
Hi there,

I have encountered a strange problem. I was fiddling with the preferred network services in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Now, no matter what setting i use, i can't do any outgoing phone calls anymore, neither can i be called by anyone. I tried to set the menu back to the original setting which didnt help.

Restarting the phone, resetting the sim-settings nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have a clue what I should try to be get my telephony service back?

I am on E-Plus / LTE in Germany.

Thanks a lot!

Have you tried downloading the ZTE A2017G software and installing it? Not too sure about the European model but that has saved my butt with the North American model more than a few times
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sweet_anesthesia:
The phone is stuck in "LTE only" mode. It doesn't connect to 3G or 2G networks anymore. And since my provider does not support VoLTE, there is no telephony service for me. I just found that out in a place where there is no 4G connectivity. The question is - how do I get my phone to connect with 3G and 2G networks again? I tried all preferred network settings in the service menu as well as all settings in the sim-card settings. I formatted the cache. No change. I will try your suggestions and see if that helps. I still find it weird, that I am able to set my phone to 4G only but I am unable to set it back to normal. Btw. the phone is stock and unrooted.

Thanks so far!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sweet_anesthesia:
I re-installed the A2017G Nougat Update, but that didn't change anything. So I downgraded to B10 (6.0.1). The integrated backup process went bad, so I ended in recovery doing a factory reset. From there things started to get better again, the phone finally connected to 3G and 2G networks! So I updated to Nougat and right now I am setting up my phone again, hey but it works!

I want to warn A2017G users to mess around with the info menu *#*#4636#*#*, especially dont touch the "frequency selection" menu. It gave me two choices "United states" and "800 cellular", both seemed to be wrong for me living in Germany, but I had to choose between the two. I suppose that got me into the trouble in the first place. Stay away from that menu. I learned that the hard way.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RishiChhikkara:
Unless there is an official nougat release for Note 4(which will never happen), there is almost zero possibility of getting an nougat port, remember note 4 & note 5 are entirely different devices & it would take a lot of time of do something like this & even then stability might not be there, although there are already many Note 7 ports available, which contains exactly same functionality, but all are & most likely will be marshmallow only, if you want nougat, Lineage Os & other roms based on it are your best shot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuanWilliman:
The Note 3 is not upgradeable to TouchWiz Marshmallow, but there are rom ports that are touchwiz marshmallow for that device, besides, I don't quite remember the dates, but, I think the note 4 had Note 5 ports based on marshmallow even before having official marshmallow.

According to this, I don't see why someone couldn't port nougat touchwiz based rom without it being LinageOS rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RishiChhikkara:
Let's see, personally i don't think it would happen, Even if it does, its will never be as stable as Marshmallow without official nougat firmware & it's​ a time consuming process, besides if you follow the threads , you can see that none of the devs have shown any interest so far in doing the same, they are supporting note4 for a long time & have moved on to other devices & note 3 has a much active development community than note 4 , so, no point in comparing these two.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuanWilliman:
I agree on that, even if it's possible to port, it wouldn't be as stable as an official update. And yes, note 3 development is much bigger than note 4's, and the exynos variant is not a huge interest to developers, as snapdragon is much easier to work on.

Maybe someone will port note 5 nougat, but it wouldn't be in a near future, or stable either, or have the desired support we want.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm afraid the kernel and bootloader will be the main issue here. The N4 is stuck with M kernel and bootloader, which is very likely be the dead end to this potential project. Plus the M firmware would most likely not work with the new Nougat software. One can only try but I think stability and performance wouldn't be optimal even if the port was able to actually boot and run with the M firmwares of the N4. This is why dev's are not jumping on this with enthusiasm. This is likely a no win situation and since it takes so much time and work porting these newer TW software, it's simply not worth it to do this for little to no reward other than self pride. It's definitely not enough to persuade me to take this on but I may try and see if I can get a booting TW nougat rom on my N4. A lot has changed in the Nougat framework so I have very high doubts but you never know.
[HTC One A9] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

I have an HTC One A9 which I recently upgraded to Nougat (AT&T - 2.18.617.10). The phone has an unlocked bootloader, is s-off, and was previously rooted. I have not re-rooted or even applied TWRP yet, but will soon.

My question is - what's the best way to root with phone & Nougat that ensures Internal Storage still works without going through a long process? After purchasing the phone about a year ago, I found that after rooting any time I tried formatting an SD for internal storage, it failed. The workaround was to re-install the RUU, back up the boot partition, root the phone using SuperSU, back up it's boot partition again, extract both boot partition backups, swap a couple of files over to the rooted backup (verity key), re-wrap the rooted one, then flash the newly modified & rooted boot partition back to my phone. - whew.

Surely that process isn't still required! If not, though; I'll still go through it if its the only way I can achieve root with Internal Storage support.

Thanks!

Hello..can any body make a top bar like lg v10 or v20 has..in which we can show different apps all the time??
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
Ha! Yep I found a virus and both Avast and Norton did not detect it.

The outragious part of it, is that it is a children's game. I am not a gamer, but had been transfering apps from one device to another. Found the game in question had privlages to contacts, email and system info. I blocked it thinking well it may be for developer needs. Since I was getting tired of big name anti virus apps that are too robust for being called an anti virus app. I looked at small and efficient single duty or very close in operation that can properly do the job, google fails miserably at.

Believe it or not I was able to install the app on two other devices that were not rooted and had google app security enabled. So now ya all can see why I disable google internal services as they suck both in battery power and in being capable.

Well anywho... if ya gots childeren below 13, mostlikely their devices or your own have a virus ridden app or two. Good uck if you dont have a proper anti virus app!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Crescendo Xenomorph:
what virus?

what does it do?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
Donno... just killed it and the game pronto. Game is still on Google Play. Wont advertise the name as many will sendvthe game to their friends and family. Plus I am not paid by google to do their security work. problem is this game is for peeps under 10, so I figure about 20,000,000 kids have it or at least had it on both their tablet or parents phone.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] HikingMoose:
I'm confused. So it wasn't a virus, it was just a game that had permissions to system, and you didn't feel it should?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sefrcoko:
Doesn't sound like a virus...just an app with permissions...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
My anti virus app noticed it had some sort of virus known by them as infectious. Had already been installed by the end user. I did not bother with isolating further. Killed it and made sure the tablet was good to go. Problem is google, Norton and Avast did not detect it. So I gave up ever using them since then on android. I noticed the anti virus I use on windows now makes a good app for android. Low and behold being simple and small foot print, which I had to hand pick from the mess online... It found what was going on with slow down, over heating and other troubles with network speeds. Once removed, i did not need to wipe and reload a new firmware or factory reset.

I tested a few times, soon after removing it, with my tablet and anti virus app used in cleaning, to find Google was still allowing the virus ridden app to be distributed.

Obviously a game made for below 10 year of age does not get much looks at by the Android community. Thinking kiddie gamers are safe. They have no credit info, contacts worth spamming, and are filled with junk pix. Low and behold kiddie gamers are gold for spyware, hackers, and thieves as they are a true Trojan Horse to get into infrastructures on bring you kids day at corporate places, and sniff home systems behind firewalls.

I may sound a bit too out there, but this stuff has always been my fear since 2000. We ignore kids on their devices and allow them to do what they want as far as downloads that don't cost money, or share files between themselves indescriminently.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jasonf1984:
Virus on Android is near impossible without root due to the way android runs app in sandbox. Less so on the app store. I doubt that it was a true virus, maybe Spyware depending on how your scanner defines it.

Those free children's games are full of ad analytics and collect way too much information. Many of them are spamy but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a virus.

I am unaware of any virus on Android that has spread via the app store. Either way better safe than sorry with those poorly made junk games.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
Now that I have a new 4.4 build that is more locked down, I will attempt to install the app once more, to verify if it is a Virus or Trojan... the later could then attach like a virus through messaging. Since the new stagefright hack that effects media server can hit 80% of all android devices being used to date. No it may not self replicate, but do the damage without really having to send itself to others. Just send a payload. The new and better way for virus architecture. Will look up if I can remember the game, and post my findings.

HA! They must have found the virus... As of end of March the new update corrected the issue. They did not release any info about the fix, but stated there was a bug fix. Bug is loose term for virus in this case.

Well let's see... the first iteration was about 6 months older than the one I updated with in early March. So who knows how many peeps got it and did not know.

Pretty sad that developers will not tell you what they fix when releasing updates. They blind cover with needed fixes and improvements. Bah! Sux hind tit my friends.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jasonf1984:
Speaking at the RSA security conference in San Francisco*on Tuesday, Adrian Ludwig, director of Android security, said the*Stagefright hole*– which prompted the Chocolate Factory to start emitting low-level security patches on a monthly basis – did put 95 per cent of Android devices at risk of attack. However, there have been no “confirmed” cases of infections via the bug, Ludwig claimed

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/15/google_stagefright_android_bug_zero_success/

Nothing but hype as I said before no confirmed cases of anyone able to use the Stagefright bug in a attack in the wild.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
I was speaking of the media server bug. Simple code from java script or email to open a media file can break media server, which allows code to be executed at root level. Just clicking on a link opens the back door. There Is a lot of peeps worried about this high level bug within android, and was found of recent. Probably bigger than stagefright and heart bleed combined.

I think that the last release of 4.4.2 with country code of BRI will have a wee more fixes... Only 3 that stands out that need to be applied for kitkat to be bug free.

Unfortunately I am not in Taiwan and rather have UK firmware. Maybe a good dev can make a recovery flash file to allow verification between the fixes I see as pending.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] profedrini:
I think you are just overreacting.

an app had broad permissions that likely didn't need. So it was a shady app.

that's not a virus. just lousy practice on the programming side. Don't install it and be done, many many apps like that. But not a virus.

that or your definition of virus is not the usual one (for instance, it did not replicate itself).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
It did have a variant name to the virus when detected. No other anti virus app detected it. Permissions is one thing but this was a virus.

Give me a break! No wonder android peeps are so blind, permissions are permissions and should not be detected as a virus, though if detecting security that is a different thing all together.

I think anti virus apps that have extra features like security checks confuse the bajeebus out of peeps on detection. Don't know the difference between virus and permissions when obviously being told a virus is found, they jump to app permissions.

A virus does not need to replicate to the system to be a virus. Just send a script to launch on another device to have the device infect its self by action. Pretty simple and very effective, especially when the anti virus app does not detect the media script crashing media server and starting the mess of running root and loading what ever off of some server.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fullydeveloped:
Having a thorough permission manager is a must, as the Nougat stock manager is woefully inadequate.

What's the best option for secure AppOps control? Apps from the play store seem to use methods that an app can easily re-enable. Is there a custom ROM which includes a detailed permissions control?

Lucky Patcher seems to be another option, but its method is to rebuild the application with the permissions removed, meaning it would have to modify the system to avoid signature checks - something I'd only consider as a last option.

Thanks!

I decided to write a new topic on this matter because there are still a lot of people like me with this problem.

My IMEI is shown as 0.

I've bought my phone at FastShop a non-carrier retailer. It is a XT1635-02 RETBR Dual-Sim.

On the process of loosing my IMEI, I was trying to get rid of the root I've installed before. I flashed a Cyanogen, got some problems with mobile data and decided to flash back to stock. When flashing back to stock I wanted a clean install, so I erased everything (EFS partition and every other tickable option) with the Chinese TWRP, the process gave me an error but I think it corrupted the data on EFS. (On the process of trying to fix this I've learned a lot of things I didn't knew and now I realize the kind of mistake I made...)

On "fastboot getvar imei" I can see my

correct

IMEI.

But dialing *#*#4636#*#* on phone info my IMEI is 0, also on Config>About both IMEI shown 0.

I've tried flashing the full stock ROM many times, even tried flashing different ROMS like LATAM, IUSMXLA, and others. Now I'm with the correct ROM running (RETBR).

I know that there are many people suffering from the same problem anything that could fix that anyway I would try.

So basically all these reports of people getting their imei being 0 is them actually just wiping efs out of carelessness, got it. Not to be a jack*** but seriously...I always double check what I'm erasing. There's no recoveries, you've erased a unique identifier to the hardware. The manufacturer doesn't keep track of this.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
That's my impression. I haven't seen anyone report categorically that they lost imei but absolutely did not wipe efs.
