Special FIsH Dinner (Notes)

TWRP

The first step to get a success with FIsH is to use TWRP as your FIsHFOOD.

Once started the first thing coming in your mind may be backup & restore but use it with care!

FIsH will brutally unmount /system in - afaik - all cases because there will be open files on it which can't be avoided.

In order to use TWRP successfully you should set at least this special flag:

# Always use rm -rf to wipe

TW_ALWAYS_RMRF := true

This is a workaround because it means wiping /system or /data will behave differently then you might expect normally. Without this flag TWRP will format the partition. With this flag set TWRP will use rm and delete all files on it without formatting the partition.

Very interesting. I actually have a locked (bootloader) device which I'm looking for a way to unlock. I feel likr I could get something (*cough*TWRP*cough*) working because of this. Keep it up :good:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BigCountry907:
I am very happy to have stumbled on this today.

I cant wait to get a little deeper into it but i must say very nice job.

I have been working on a big project myself. For creating a clone of any device emmc.

Burn the GPT Partition Table to a External_SD Card and flash the images.

What I have found is that If you make the SD Card right the Qualcomm Devices will boot from the sd card.

To the extent that If i unlock a device that normally can not be unlocked using my XTC-2 clip then copy the images ect from the unlocked device burn to sd card and then boot into H-boot or Download mode the Unlocked Status for example Bootloader Unlock and S-off and Super Cid ect ect ect will be present on the locked device. Thus giving elevated permissions. My setback has been there is no normal way for me to write any partitions yet. Anything I flash through H-boot writes to the SD Card. And I have been unable to make TWRP boot this way.

My initial though is to set up my unlocked device with fish and get it all working. Then create the sdcard image that includes the installed fish scripts. It would be simple to modify the external sd to meet all the fish requirements. even if the device itself can not meet the requirements. My device currently meets the requirements but it isnt for me. Its for the community of people that dont have java cards. This could potentially lead to a way of overcoming both of our current limitations.

All i need is a way to boot TWRP from my elevated privileged sd card and I can utilize that to provide unlocking.

Awesome
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steadfasterX:
cool. your project sounds amazing as well ;) keep us updated please .. !

btw I personally do not need FIsH .. lol.. i have all my devices unlocked ;) but there were many users for my current device which cannot unlock (LG G4 -> only a few models can be unlocked) so I started FIsH..

so don't give up and if u need help.. go to IRC channel #Carbon-Fusion on freenode.. see us there ;)

You may have just saved the Verizon sgs4 from total death. We have to see if selinux can be changed first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steadfasterX:
just use the installer.. ;)

./install.sh --check

will tell you..

.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ninjasinabag:
Knox disables selinux permission changes by default. So I know the install.sh will return with a negative.

I posted the link to this thread on the VZW S4 forums in the hopes someone will pick up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steadfasterX:
So no root available there?

.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BigCountry907:
[MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION]

In my mind it is threads like this and projects like this that make this place so great.

Same reason for my project. To unlock HTC devices. Verizon devices cannot be unlocked easily.

If you ever need any help with the bash script let me know.

I'm pretty good with it. Bells and whistles like menus and whatnot too.

I was glad to see your shell scripts.

I know the language and it makes this easy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ninjasinabag:
Root, but barely. We've gotta use kingroot to open the door before replacing kinguser with SuperSU.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BigCountry907:
This is where the sd card trick works well.

See if we can boot TWRP off of it then we automatically have root access in adb.

Then its a matter of flashing the right partitions ( Device Specific ) to unlock permanently.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheBlackZork:
In SGS2 I had a car dock. When I put phone in then "car mode" was activated and I could utilize "car dock" state in Tasker. This feature was designed as special resistor between data cables like described here:

Fun with resistors (home/car dock mode + more)

Is it possible with LG G5? I mean are there any car chargers that will put LG G5 in car mode when connected?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
I can switch my G5 into "carmode" using macrodroid app. After switching to on, i can see a steering wheel icon in the notification bar.

But until now, i do not know what the car mode does.:D
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Finally someone who uses macrodroid besides me. I think it's way better then tasker, less complicated. Wouldn't you agree?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
sorry for OT.;)

I have made my own experiences with "automate" / "tasker" / "macrodroid" / "llama" in the last three years.

Unfortunately "tasker" has some restrictions if you do not use several different plugin.

If you will use, everything seems to be possible.

"Automate" is similar able tool , but drains my battery too much and needs to many plugins.

"Macrodroid" is very easy to use and has all functions they are needed. You can use the Tasker plugins too:D

and now b.t.t. please!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheBlackZork:
I tried to chat about it with LG support and it looked like they don't know what car mode is :)

It looks like I need another way to make G5 to know that it is in car dock. Bluetooth beacon maybe?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Ultraman1966:
Try Auto Android; it's still in development so it isn't super polished but I feel google has done a good job making quite functional.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheBlackZork:
Ok, I did some research and will answer to myself:

It is not possible with any phone that use QuickCharge. USB data lines D+ and D- are used by QuickCharge protocol to control charging voltage, so there is no way to use them for other things.

I plan to use iBeacon and beaconradar app as alternative solution for automating car mode tasks.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
If you use BT in your car, you can use this connection as a trigger in Tasker. So you can create some profiles for it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheBlackZork:
Yes, I know, but I do not have hands free BT. I have BT-aux adapter in my car and I tried with tasker BT near profile but it does not work well. Delays are from 10 seconds to couple of minutes. iBeacon broadcasts itself every 300ms or so and should work better. It uses Bluetooth LE so I plan power it constantly from car and create tasker profile for two events: beacon in range and AC power on.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeekayy:
Hey guys,

Hope you're all doing well.

I've been following xda for the past 1.5 years, I'm a student studying abroad and I use my phone almost all day.

I just want to know from a person who has more knowledge than me about which is the most stable, bug free and best rom for the Sprint Note 4 model?

I can not keep up with different rom topics or posts because of my personal routine. Now you might be thinking this guy is a noob he doesn't want to search for himself, but tbh I've already tried the Emotion Rom and it has been a bad experience. So just please surprise me.

Hoping for a positive answer.

Regards,

Zeekay.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
Not many people like answering questions like this, so to not offend any of the Devs. But i already gave some similar info on a previous post here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71247433&postcount=25

Besides the roms i mention in the above post, there's also LineageOS, which wasn't out then. It's an Aosp rom and you can find it here: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-lineageos-14-1unofficial-t3573327

Also which Emotion rom did you try? The one from this sprint section by SaintZ93? If not, I suggest you give it another chance.

To sum it up, the most current up to date roms out there for the sprint device are as follows:

AOSP:

LineageOS

EmotionOS

Touchwiz:

Dtux Rom

UN7 Rom

Maybe if you want just pure stock Note 4, you can try the Stock QB3 Rom, I have posted on here.

If anyone feels i left anything out, feel free to correct me!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeekayy:
Yes I tried the one SaintZ93 posted. I'll take a look at the roms that you've posted. If I get time, I'll try one of them to see which one I can use as daily driver.

Thanks.

[LG G Flex 2] mazlixek:
Yeah, new battery only fixes this issue for like a month, then it returns. I guess its motherboard failure and it either destroys the battery, or isn't able to charge it properly. Guys in other posts here are posting some fixes with heatgun, hair dryer, baking in the oven etc. I baked mine for 220°C for 10 minutes in aluminium foil... and no ... it just killed the motherboard totally. The phone is awesome, but it only works for a year and a half, then you can throw it in the trash. I had my hands on four of these devices, and they did it all. One is still with me, but just recently it started rebooting out of nowhere, so I guess its just a matter of time before this one dies too.

I managed to do this one time.. and like all great things it was purely by accident. well after reformating my laptop i was unable to reproduce the results.. I was able to get bluetooth audio streaming over my laptops speakers just as it would if it was a bluetooth headset. does anyone know how to reproduce this? i have had no success and ive been trying for a week. One thing i noticed is that i was never able to connect to windows mobile device center (activesync) after that happend.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Nevinz:
Good news! Ive solved my own problem :) with much trial and error I manage to reproduce the results by removing the bluetooth partnership with my laptop, inserting the disk that came with the Mogul/Titan and reinstalling everything (user manuel, windows mobile device center) this must have reinstalled all drivers and some new ones, bc once it was completed i was able to pair the mogul and laptop again with activesync, the headset, and wireless stereo.

I also upgraded the drivers for my bluetooth chip in my laptop, but i believe that had no effect since i was unable to use the stereo bluetooth until i did the above ^
