[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] m.i.a.187:
what are these guys b1tc**ng about? on reddit 4fybyl/warning_package_disabler_pro_users/ are they just rival devs arguing? should i worry about pdp from ospolice? because i have it installed and disabled sys apps and was wondering if i should worry about security update and stuff (i dont want update )due to the log files i found recently will these files effect me when i connect to internet? i havent put a sim card in yet. so id really like to kno. i successfully disabled the apps but was wondering of the repercussions i might be facing. i have noticed my video recorder settings menu bugs out and self closes but have a soft tab i can click to get to them so im ok with it. if you need a list of apps disabled to help with that i can provide. the log file dosnt have specific app names so i dont see the problem jus wanted reassurance. if this violates your no url rule i apologize. you dont have to submit comment. but id still like an answer but didnt kno who to ask.

This tablet cant clearly get its full potential without a pure version of Android... I've never rooted a device before, but I'm interested to see if there is a way to unlock this Kindle Fire 7 5th Gen with OS 5.3.3.0.

I tried to search on forums but it seems no one have tried yet. :rolleyes:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
There are at least a half dozen threads and dozens of posts (plus the forum index) that bemoan the current state of affairs: FireOS 5.3.2.1 and above, including 5.3.3.0, can not be rooted at present.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarman8657:
How long will it be till the next update? Is there a debloater that will work at present?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Update to what - FireOS? Amazon does not publish a schedule. No official debloat script; many items can not be disabled/uninstalled without root.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarman8657:
Thanks! I have a kindle fire 5th gen tablet running 5.3.3.0. I've tried one click apks like kingroot, kingoroot and oneclick root.I could have rooted my device in the past but I was scared of using a computer due to my lack of knowledge. I have tried a windows program by Gates junior called debloater ( YouTube/ gadgethacks / disable without root ) The program claims to be able to disable system apps without root on android. I have used versions 3.85 and 3.90 ( latest ) and it works up to a point but doesn't finish. Is there anything else that will work without root?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- at present there are no known root exploits for FireOS 5.3.3.0

- be skeptical of any claims around disabling system apps on an unrooted device

- tinkering with the apps/tools/crapware that you mentioned is just asking for trouble
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarman8657:
If and when an update for Fire OS 5.3.3.0 becomes available, how can I know if the new version can be rooted?

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

I can uninstall the updates on some of the bloatware on my kindle, but how can I keep Amazon from installing it back on?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- watch the forums for root announcements

- uninstalling updates is usually worse then doing nothing - space savings will be minimal and the app will likely be less stable/secure/functional than a fully patched version

Can 5.3.3.0 be downgraded to 4.5.3 to enable root?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
There are no downgrade options from 5.3.3.x; guaranteed brick. FireOS 4.5.3 is not even an option for this device. Best check your sources.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
Reports are out that 5.3.3.0 can be downgraded to 5.3.2.1, but neither of those can be downgraded to anything lower. Considering that neither of them have root, they can pretty much be treated the same.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
The answer is no. But I've been exploring every inch of my HD 8. Here's what I don't get. One of the most popular exploits, Dirty Cow, was supposedly patched correct? Thats one big reason for non root. Another is the addition of Selinux which essentially toggles the SU permissions with a flip of a switch.

I have a rooted Droid Razr M. I have been adding tweaks to the build.prop for a day or two when I haven't been exploring possible root options for this tablet. It just occurred to me to take a look at the HD 8 build.prop. According to the prop, Selinux is disabled:

ro.kernel.zio=38,108,105,16
#ro.kernel.qemu=1
#ro.kernel.qemu.gles=0
ro.boot.selinux=disable

Secondly, I very well could be reading this wrong, but according to 'Droid Examiner' the Kernel was compiled BEFORE the exploit was patched?!?!? See attached screenshot)

So can I ask what exactly is the problem?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarman8657:
Is root available for fire OS 5.4.0.0?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
That's part of the problem. There are many that say you can't, but then when it finally happens, try searching for root 5.3.3.0. You'll get all those ones that say you can't and you MIGHT be able to find the one that says you can. It would be great if there was one thread that would be updated with the status of the various Fire OS versions and the root status of each. This thread was posted in May and was the first one I found for 5.3.3.0. I'm hoping someone has cracked it since and I just need to find the right thread.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Try the forum index: https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/index-amazon-fire-2015-t3210485. XDA search function works well too if fed the proper queries.

No root for any version of FireOS above 5.3.2.1 [current as of the date of this post].

Yes - it would be great if there were one thread with all the relevant information perfectly updated. Alas, SOMEONE (a.k.a. a volunteer with a life outside XDA) has to maintain that thread while dozens of others are spontaneously created by undisciplined members with varying levels of information/misinformation.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
I understand it's largely volunteer based. It doesn't help the way Amazon labels their devices either. I have the 5th gen, which is just the Amazon Fire. I just finally figured out how to find THAT in here (nothing against XDA, et. al.) so now I'm trying to figure out if I can revert my 5.3.3.0 refurbished replacement tablet to 5.3.2.1 since you've confirmed there is no root for 5.3.3.0.

It's really frustrating that you can't install much on these, even with an SD card.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
You can revert (rollback) FireOS 5.3.3.0 to 5.3.2.1. However, there is absolutely no benefit in doing so as: 1) root is not available for either build; and 2) all of the debloating tools and other non-root tools work equally well on 5.3.3.x. There is always a small risk in rolling back; why take the risk w/o a corresponding benefit.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sflesch:
So I don't know how/if it's possible to create a chart directly in the forums, but I started a thread with a Google Doc with some information. Thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Forum index already has this information. Why do we need another (external) reference?

I wasn't familiar with the Index. Thanks. Searching for firmware revisions doesn't always seem to work as well, but I have been trying.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Sorry, I misunderstood your post about the Index, although I find it's difficult for me to process things lately unless they are organized into a chart or table form, so I've been going through that thread trying to figure out how to roll back from 5.4.0.0 as far as I can (5.3.2.1 if I remember correctly) and block the OTAs. There's not much (anything?) in the first few posts about 5.4.0.0 so I'm having a hard type figuring out where to start.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
5.3.2.1 would be the earliest you can rollback to indeed. You can downgrade from 5.4.0.1 to 5.4.0.0 then from there down to 5.3.2.1. You can find the firmware version you can downgrade to in this post. Just make sure you choose the one that says 5.3.2.1

Still no way to root 5.3.3? This is installed on a Fire HD 7, 4th gen
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Unfortunately no. That version is rarely seen on any of the tablets. 5.3.1 is the last rootable version.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewisp06:
:( Ok. Thanks. My gf picked this up broken and I fixed it and was hoping to root it before giving it to her. And it auto-updated to 5.6.0.1 overnight somehow. Do these seriously auto-update without owner permission?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tenbender:
Hi Everyone,

I am really enjoying this phone after a couple of days but do have one issue.

I normally charge the phone at night. The first night I charged it and the next morning saw that the progress screen ( the blue screen that comes on when you charge) was on. Of course the phone was very warm as well. I am not sure if there is a setting that I missed somehow.

This morning I watched the charging process as I still had a good amount of battery left. Always on Display is enabled as well. the phone got charged and then the Blue Screen popped up. It then started to dim and it did go black but some ad popped up on the blue screen and it came on again at the normal intensity.

Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks in advance

Iam new member use S6(i use note3, s4 before). I have S6 in nougat. It (S6) dont have recovery and root and then i want flash custom rom.

I have flash twrp recovery (twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img) by odin v3 3.12 but after flash finish ( no error) . I go recovery but it not TWPR, it is stock recovery android ( the first time boot to recovery after i flash TWRP by odin, i see a robot and " system update" the robot break and " no command" and boot to stock recovery)

I try another TWRP 3.0, 2.8 but its the same, i try another odin but the same.

Would someone help me? tks alot :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiko2007:
bro, you should when you flash twrp by odin untick auto reboot and reboot manually to twrp by hold vol.down + hold power till screen off and after that do fast as possible this combo hold vol.up+hold home

that's it bro.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiko2007:
ok , try flash twrp again with untick auto reboot (cuz when you boot into os , the os will reflash stock recovery by itself so you must do reflash again twrp ), this time , when screen turn off(by hold vol.down+hold power) ,do quickly hold vol.up+hold home+hold power (for 2 sec and hold off )

Look I did have the same problem.

Bad downloaded twrp file.

Redownload and try again
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovely.sunny:
miss one step, bro

"hold the Volume Down+Power buttons at the same time for about 7 seconds. As soon as the screen turns off/black, quickly press and hold the Volume Up+Home+Power buttons simultaneously. Remember, you have to do this before the boot screen with Samsung Galaxy S6 logo appears or your phone will reboot. Just as the you see the Samsung Galaxy S6 logo, release the Power key but keep the Volume Up+Home buttons pressed until you are greeted a blue screen with while Android logo followed by TWRP menu."

i found on internet and solve problems

tks u so much shiko, you are good person ^^

Is it best to charge my phone immediately out of box or let it run down first? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lector007:
best is to charge it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nappent:
These are lithium-ion batteries and you do more harm by letting drop down to 0%. Lots of article about this on Google. That said, Samsung is reporting that the battery in our S8/S8+ is supposed to hold 95% of it original capacity by the end of the 1st year. So it might not be super bad to run down to 0%, but I still wouldn't recommend it. I can tell you, there is nothing gained by letting it run down to 0%.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZiprLips:
There are no I'll effects of running a lithium ion cell down till the phone turns off, as long as you immediately recharge it. Letting it sit at zero for a long period of time may allow the cell to drop below 3.0v, at which time it will no longer accept a charge.

Repeatedly rapid charging the battery does a lot of damage. Only use rapid charge when it's needed.

Hey guys,

I use textra as my standard messaging app. It seems like it gets cut off on the s8's display, not going all the way to the top. It leaves a black space between the top of the app and the notification bar. Not sure if this is a textra issue that needs to get updated or an app viewing setting somewhere in the s8 that I'm missing. Either way it sure would be nice if that dead space went away lol

Anybody know any tricks?

Cheers!

Edit: Apps this happens in I've found so far

Textra

theChive

Various banking apps

I'm thinking it's something with the individual apps not being able to display in a certain aspect ratio? Dunno.

A little extra testing showed that this is independent of launcher used. I didn't think it would have an effect but figured I would give it a shot anyways. I used the google now launcher with no difference.

Try Settings, display, full screen apps. Toggle the individual program to be full screen. Should solve the problem.

Have you noticed when you receive a text message and you click on it from the notification screen it makes you swipe to open still? I have the AT&T version and this annoys me.

Like any notification you tap it and instead of opening the phone it goes to a blurry screen and makes you swipe again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] co.ag.2005:
yeah, I wish apps went all the way by default when you install them, and if they don't work that way, I can go in an turn off. I have to go in and turn them all on at the beginning which is annoying.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] co.ag.2005:
I just watched your video closely. So you are talking about opening the textra message from the lock screen by double tapping? yeah, mine makes me unlock the phone too. I have iris scanner and FP setup. so if I double tap the message from the lockscreen, I have to unlock the phone first to see it or reply to it. I think that's pretty standard.

You can setup reply boxes on the lock screen. I haven't played with it much but I think it'll let you reply with a locked phone. Check out the heads up floating notification section under "when locked"

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] co.ag.2005:
did you not have lockscreen security setup on your pixel? I know on my OnePlus One running 7.1.2, if I don't have any lockscreen security (just set to swipe), I can do what you are trying to do. But I think anytime you setup a pin, pattern, fp, etc., you have to insert in those unlocking methods first.

OR, did you have some kind of smart unlock setup on your Pixel that you haven't on your S8 yet? like proximity (home), connection (bluetooth or wifi), etc?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mystixor:
I ordered my S8+ SM-G955F from the Telekom (T-Mobile DE) and their usual CSC is DTM but for some reason mine is ODX (I am not using the ordered flat rate but only its phone). After a little bit of research I found out that ODX is being used by countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Since the updates seem to be coming really late on this one (just received 11th March while 11th April is the actual current software) I wondered whether and how I could change the CSC to DBT (open Germany) *without* voiding any warranty, so that I will receive the Open German updates. Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] henklbr:
You can't change it to DBT, because DBT is part of the Multi-CSC OXM

When you flash the DBT firmware, it'll take the 1st CSC in the OXM Multi-CSC package, and that's not DBT
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mystixor:
Well that would be good enough, wouldn't it? All I want is a CSC that receives the OTA's a little earlier than my current ODX (DTM).
