[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] felipevsw:
I'm no expert, but as far as I know you can only encrypt your data partition again from within Android Settings > Security. It won't be automatically encrypted again by simply flashing a new custom ROM.

Perhaps it could encrypt it when you flash stock, which is actually something I'd like to confirm because I removed encryption on my Z Play yesterday and am currently running LOS, so if I eventually flash stock again I wonder if it will automatically encrypt my data partition back.... I'm guessing no, but it's something I'd like to confirm (and/or try later on).

I don't have you TWRP problem, meaning I can format everything on my TWRP (if I go to advanced format I can select all options there and have everything wiped), but I usually simply do wipes on TWRP, then flash ROM, then Gapps, then boot, then install Magisk Manager (from Play store) and root from there.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] felipevsw:
Confirmed. When you flash stock you're re-encrypted (sad).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacevad:
A little background info...

I bought a used Nexus 5x and received it running the stock rom with the bootloader unlocked. Not sure if the device was properly unrooted and returned to stock. It was running 7.1.2 out of the box. Also, I took the latest security update a few days ago, before attempting to root. I wanted to do some homework on the device before attempting root. It's been a while since I rooted a device. And wanted to refresh my memory.

When I began the process, I was having trouble getting my windows 7 PC (64) to recognize the device via adb. I did a little reading and found out my driver's needed to be updated. After I updated them the device could now be recognized in adb (yes, I did remember to enable USB debugging). Verified working by returning serial number after typing the adb devices command. So I was confident I could no proceed with flashing TWRP via fastboot.

The problem...

So now that I verified adb working and talking to my device I then typed adb reboot bootloader to access the bootloader (cause I honestly didn't want to disconnect the device and have to press buttons). The device successfully booted into the bootloader. My next step was to type fastboot devices in the command line but this is where the problem I'm having is. The device is not recognized. So I unplugged the device from the PC, opened a new command window in the platform-tools folder where fastboot resides, rebooted the device back into the bootloader, reconnected the device to the PC and attempted the fastboot devices command again and nothing, no device. I execute the command fastboot flash recovery TWRP.xx.xxxx.img and the command window says waiting for device or something like that. I am not sure what steps to take next. I've never had a problem getting a PC to recognize a device in bootloader mode before. I am pretty sure my environments are set up correctly. Is it something with the device? Is there a way to correct this? I'm really lost as to what to do here. I cannot root because I cannot flash custom recovery because I cannot get my PC to recognize the device in fastboot. Please, any help is appreciated. I'm stumped.:confused:

Update.

Resolved. Used a different pc with a fresh adb environment. Worked on the first try to flash twrp and super su.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasimaziz:
ADB command not recognized

Hi there, i'm facing a similar problem. My 5x went into bootloop. It was on stock. After going through XDA posts, I was preparing to flash stock rom once again to see if that works. So I installed in my Windows 10 - SDK tools / platform. We I used command for ADB the command prompt say device listed, but does not come up with serial number. But when fastboot command is given, it returns with a serial number.

My question is what went wrong? My PC also dose not shows 5x in the explorer, despite installing drivers.

I would also like to know how to enable USB debugging when your phone is bricked?

Looking forward to any suggestions.....thanks upfront....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] alljokingaside:
Hi,

Trying to help a friend recover files (media) that were accidentally deleted on the sm-g900a. To recover those files, all signs indicate that rooting is necessary.

She tried using towelroot without mod, but it failed. I'm guessing she updated sometime in the past. So I'm guessing to root, she'll need to follow the steps (rather, I'll have to follow the steps since it might be a bit much for said friend) in the Root Guide on the General page.

(https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196)

**Q: Once the steps are complete - ie flashing the experimental firmware/OF3- will the chances of file recovery lessen (media files)? (ie will flashing the new firmware(s) override hard drive space that was occupied by said deleted files?) My first guess is minimal, since I'm guessin that part of the hard drive that'll be re-written are mainly the /system and /data files. I'm thinking about this like a traditional HD. But since this isn't my phone, I'd like to get second opinions.

**Q: She's not a tech person so any hitches w/r/t the new stock will be a hassle. Are there any glitches in the no-ship OF3? If so, I'm guessing flashing firmware from sammobile will remedy the problem. (root after this will not be necessary)

***Q: An afterthought. (It's been a while since I've flashed a phone w/ files I cared about. I'm pretty sure they aren't buuuttt) Will the files in /[user] directory affected with the flashes? (eg /sdcard, /internal (however the nomenclature works on the S5. Not the actual Sdcard)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Okay I'll try to go in order here.

1. flashing the new firmware might lessen the chances of file recovery. I'm not exactly sure how NAND chips work, so the problem might be that it zeroes all the sectors out (unlikely) or it just uses a file index and the entries are erased. So proceed at your own risk, if the files are already lost there isn't much more to lose at this point anyway.

2. the pre-rooted OF3 is just the entire OF3 stock system but with the su files inside. Everything else is the same, so you shouldn't have any problems.

3. I'd guess no, but take that with a grain of salt since I've never really checked.

Any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!

Has anyone ever encountered the Kaiser's becoming completely dead, out of a sudden? HR doesn't help. It has the official Kaiser ROM - and not even any hacks.

After starting, it just prints "smart mobility", vibrates once and, atter a while, repeats this in an infinite loop.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Graf Zeppelin:
Menneisyys,

my unit did exactly the same thing. Had to send it back, unit was exchanged for a new one.

This behavior goes hand in hand wit the "Standby of Death" and "Red Light of Death" behavior where the unit will no longer wake up from standby or will no longer start up even though a charger is connected. There is a thread on XDA-dev. about this syndrom.

The only information that I can give you is that my first Kaiser which finally died exactly like yours mid-December showed erratic behavior like restarting three times after soft reset and the SoD right from coming out of the box. The replacement unit never showed anything similar.

As far as I can remember there is a good chance that HTC as released a faulty production lot to the market showing these problems.

Get your unit replaced under warranty. Re-flash or any other repair attempts won't work.

I can't assign mp3's as ringtones anymore for some reason.

They used to work, but now Windows doesn't allow me to even select them from the list of all available ringtones (they are listed, but when selecting them and pressing "ok", Windows automatically selects the next song from the list, which is in mwa format)

When I convert my mp3's to mwa, they can be played.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Stay0Puft:
No one having the same kind of problems?

I can't set mp3's as ringtones or sms-sound. But I can play those same mp3's with AudioManager, with Mediaplayer, TCPMP and with Gsplayer.

Wav and mwa files can still be used (lucky me) ;)

Is there perhaps a default player or some setting in the register that points to a default player that needs adjustment?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VidMan:
Had same problem before

I also experienced this problem before. I found out that in order for mp3's to work as ringtones, they had to be associated with windows media player. To fix this, go to GSPlayer, TCPMP, and any other media player you have, go to their respective settings, and uncheck Mp3 as a file association. Your mp3 ringtone should work now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meorah:
I have my mp3s associated with tcpmp and can assign them as a ringtone just fine. Not sure how you are assigning them, but this is how I do it.

Open file explorer, browse to mp3s, click-hold the mp3 I want as ringtone, choose "set as ringtone" from the context menu.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Stay0Puft:
Ahh, thanks a lot. That seems to be it!

At least I was thinking in the good direction with that default player ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kendallreeves:
This is exactly what I did when I had the same problem. Those file associations will cause you some problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Stay0Puft:
If it works just fine with you with TCPMP, then the problem must lie with Gsplayer, since that was my default player for mp3's.

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

I found there is a thread describing how to root the US/Chinese model without unlocking the bootloader -

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204

However it mentions that this'll brick the European model because of the included TWRP version and unfortunately I'm on a ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B08 (Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20).

Is there any news if this can be done now with the international variant -

I'm not interested in a custom ROM or updating Android, I'm happy at the moment with the 6.0.1 version I have, but really would like root for xposed framework, Titanium, Tasker ...

Is there a different TWRP version that can be used or is it not working due to the ZTE's signature key used?

Alternatively is there a way for the A2017G to re-lock the bootloader that's 100% working/safe, if you don't apply a custom ROM?

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Hi.

It didn't really answer the question : Is unlocking necessary to root, or can we root without unlocking ?

Every tutorials founds all follows the same paths : Unlock first, then root. But why ? is there a reason for that, or is it just a "since i'm rooting, let's unlock it while i'm at it" thing ?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Whoooo?:
Hallo Marcus :)

Danke fuer die Antwort -

Maybe I didn't fully comprehend the thread - I was under the impression that it bricked some A2017G, while not others and didn't want to take the risk.

Reading through the instructions - which of these steps did you take (and in what order)?

I read it that you do not need to flash TWRP? So can I just root the phone without bricking it and all is good as long as I stay with my 6.0.1 B08 version?

I understand the instructions as

- boot into edl

- install Qualcomm driver

- run axon7root to already root the device (backup seems to be done in the next step?! according to instructions).

However there is no axon7root version for the A2017G (B08) as it was removed due to TWRP?!

All I can find is the axon7backup tool (would you actually do this before you run the axon7root the first time?)

If you run the axon7root, did you do 'axon7root.exe -p 4 -b'

so that it only flashes the boot.img (not TWRP recovery) and therefore this is safe?

Sorry for the long essay, help is really appreciated! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
Hey, sorry for the delay.

I am quite busy. I really don't know the procedere anymore. It is a long time ago. But if you would give me some time, I will have a look on it and will let you know. But why won't you unlock your bootloader? Without unlocking not everything runs as it should with unlocked BL.

OK. I will let you know.

Marcus
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jeboo:
Theoretically, yes, you can root w/o unlocking the bootloader. This is how things are done typically with certain manufacturers (LG, Samsung) that rarely offer BL unlocking. To be able to flash TWRP on a locked BL is even more difficult, as it would require a BL-level exploit. The reason that's not an option here is the ability to unlock, which precludes such development.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Whoooo?:
Hi Marcus,

Thanks a lot, that would be really great.

Regarding Bootloader unlock - I didn't buy the phone in the EU, hence my warranty would be void if I unlock it. And my warranty even comes with screen replacement (not that I ever cracked a screen, but there's always a first).

I have to admit that I'm tempted by Lineage OS, but for now (as I just bought the phone) - if there's a reasonably safe way to root without unlock, I'd prefer to just root and then maybe in a year's time or so switch to Lineage OS...

For now I managed to have my phone recognized as QUSB_BULK and I can boot into edl.

I was trying to use the axon7toolkit (1.1.1), but for whatever reason I cannot use it in commandline mode (maybe as there seem to be different versions, or maybe cause I am on Win7 32bit, no idea).

Any help would be really great! :)

Hi jeboo, Hi Sn8k,

Hope above explained my motivation, regarding root without unlocking - there's a thread about this

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204

HOWEVER there are two problems:

1) The bootloader can stay locked as it's using a signed version of TWRP, which can brick your device (A2017G)

2) The linked axon7root.exe is not for my device (A2017G B08).

Having said that, some users have been successful with rooting this version, so there seems to be a way, if you get the steps right. :)

Or just unlock the phone. But don't relock it if you do, because you can make a huge mess
