[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JoeDarbyd:
Curiosity got the better of me, and I just installed a custom recovery and a custom rom on my S8.

Obviously the knox warranty void thing now reads 0x1.

I wish I hadn't bothered as custom rom doesn't run as stable and nice as the factory EE firmware that was on my phone before :(

I'm going to revert my phone back to original firmware with Odin later. Could anyone advise me whether it is possible to reset the Knox 0x1 thing back to original 0x0? I'm guessing not. If that's the case, how will this affect things when I'm back on original firmware? Will I still recieve OTA updates in the usual way etc.? What are the disadvantages apart from the void warranty?

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] monx®:
u cant revert e-fuse knox bit. losing it means lose for good.

all secure apps like samsungpay, some banking app, etc wont work.

tripped knox shud still avail to receive OTA but rooting prohibit it & OTA needs original stock recovery to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] superior888:
Knoxed is knoxed. Can't reset that one. You can of course flash original firmware back with Odin if you wish. But Samsung Pay will never work. S-Health might work, but i'm not sure if you need custom rom to make it work (with magisk)

OTA's will come as usual even with knoxed device if you are on original firmware. (not rooted)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JoeDarbyd:
Thanks for your advice! I have no intention of using Samsung Pay, but DO use Android Pay. Will it still work when I've reverted back?

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] superior888:
Without further investigation i don't believe android pay will care about knox being 0x1. But with root it won't work. (again, maybe with magisk).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xeathpk:
I tested this last week and I had no issues using either Android Pay or Samsung Pay on my rooted s8+. I just hid the root from the apps in magisk and I was good to go. Knox is obviously tripped so I dont think that's a deal breaker. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
I guarantee you, that won't last.

By the time a security/knox upgrade comes in the Magisk hide loophole will be patched.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xeathpk:
Wouldn't bother me for a few reasons.

1. I rarely use NFC pay as it is.

2. I don't use Samsung or Android Pay, I only installed and tested them because of all the fuss going on over people afraid of losing the feature.

3. My bank ANZ Australia has their own NFC mobile pay app that I like better anyways.

Just wanted to clarify for some users that as of right now on the current up-to-date firmware, you can certainly use these NFC pay features. Whether that changes in the future and and how soon is anyone's guess.

Need to factory reset one of my old head units to move on to someone else. Issue is I have since sold the car that it was fitted to so don't have a way of powering the unit that I know of.

Has anyone got any idea on a quick way to power a head unit without the use of a car? I.e. if I can create a quick Ghetto power supply to power the unit on with at home so I can perform the reset on the device.

Because a Few days Back, I Successfully Rooted my LYF Earth 2, And Applied a 512 Frames (20 seconds) Bootanimtion! But till I realized That I Applied a 20-second Bootanimation which was not compatible with my device, My Phone switched off (low battery) Now I knew what was gonna happen, It's now stuck on Bootloop, and Doesn't start because the Custom boot animation was way too heavy for my devices to handle, I tried Hard-resetting it, But Still the Custom boot animation doesn't Go Away!!

Yup Yup! My Phone's working Perfectly Fine Now! But the Last problem is, that I lost the phone after Fixing lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensei punk:
Not sure if this is in the correct section or not, please feel free to move it if so.

I have an Xperia C2305, used to work perfectly fine, had it rooted and had TWRP I think it was, installed using the mobileuncle app.

Not too long ago the phone was stuck on the loading screen after the Sony logo. I had then restored the phone using the TWRP and a backup I had made when I first installed TWRP and the phone worked perfectly fine after the restore.

This weekend the phone got stuck again , I booted into the recovery and did the restore again, it continued to remain stuck on the loading screen. Went back into the recovery and wiped cache etc and did the restore again and when I restarted it then was stuck on the Sony logo and would not go past that. I tried to boot into the recovery and its no longer going into the recovery no matter how many times I tried. So decided to use the xperia flashtool and flash the stock rom. The phone goes into flashmode just fine but the rom refuses to flash. On the one laptop (Win8) I tried flashing it on, it opens the TA partition, and then stops directly after that and says that I need to turn on USB debugging which of course I cannot do as the phone wont boot. On my other laptop (Win7) it keeps telling me to install drivers for it which I also have done and even tried to update the driver from device manager and manually selected the driver but of course windows tells me that the best driver is already installed. I have also tried 4 different roms just incase there was a prob with any of the roms.

The phone also won't boot into fastboot mode. I am at work at the moment and unfortunately forgot my usb with the flashtool logs. I will post those later tonight.

I have also tried the wmshua software. That also fails and the fail message is in chinese so I don't know what error it is giving.

Also tried the repair using the Sony Update Software. That also fails.

Any help here with this???????

Hello fellow devs. Just a simple doubt.

I know how to replace drawables. But is there any method to hide a particular status bar icon? For example the sim icon?

I checked in bools.xml but there are only keys for battery, clock etc.

So can't replace it. Any help???

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] madcow_mda:
I have a HK version xperia XZ dual and the updates are really slow (see xpericheck.com)

If I want to flash a FTF version from a different region:

- can I?

- will I need root or an unlocked bootloader?

(and it will probably wipe my device right?)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gregbradley:
Yes you can

No you do not need an unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] S1gma:
It will not wipe your phone. To flash ftf you have to use flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/) If you don't check check marks in "wipe" section, nothing should be wiped. You don't loose warranty. You will receive OTA updates after it (matched with the newly flashed region, not the original one). And you don't need root nor unlocked bootloader to do that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] MysticEnforcer:
in "exclude" section, select "partition".

if you don't mark "partition", your internal storage will be deleted.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] madcow_mda:
1) Yes you can

2) No you do not need an unlocked bootloader, or root

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x_orange90_x:
As the title says, I've got some really bad lag when using the Lenses in Snapchat. The camera works fine when there is no lens on screen, but as soon as one starts tracking my face it turns into a slideshow. It even plays back this way when I view a recorded snap. The filters in Facebook Messenger work fine without lag. Does any other Tribute HD users have this problem? I've tried hard resetting and also reinstalling Snapchat but nothing helps. Surely the phone isn't under powered enough to be causing this is it? Even i check Snapchats memory usage it's never used more than 350mb, and I've always got at least 800mb of ram free when starting Snapchat.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vadsvads:
I've been on the unofficial LOS build for the A2017G from the 3rd of february ever since it got release since i never bothered to flash a newer build. Now I wanted to try out Resurrection remix or the newer LOS builds, but everytime I flash them in TWRP, with or without Gapps, I just get a black screen after the bootloader and then my screen turns off. I can load my nandroid and then everything works fine again.

Any chance someone here might know what to do? Screenshot of my about page is below, if any further info is needed, just ask.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tron1:
You need to flash the new universal bootstack from Unjustifieds linageos thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vadsvads:
Ive tried that as well - before and after flashing the actual ROM/Gapps. Or is there a new version of the bootstack I missed? I used the same file as I did when flashing the unofficial LOS build, "A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip".

I'll try again though - I took a look at the files and there is one for the G model and one with an X - which should I use?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tron1:
A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip & A2017G_N_Modem.zip
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dnlilas:
The "X" would mean for every model (A2017, A2017U or A2017G).

You previous zip file A2017G_Nougat_Bootloader+ModemFix2.zip is old.

I think you should follow the first step in LineageOS thread:

1. Install the Universal bootloader and your model specific modem.Failure to do so will not allow flashing the ROM!

Universal bootloader = A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip

Modem package = A2017G_N_Modem.zip

By the way you can also upgrade to latest TWRP 3.1.1-0:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Downunder35m:
I successfully tested several different ROM's on my X96 that on their original hardware would support BT.

Usually the combined WiFI/Bt chips that we find on the S912 boxes and some weird S905 ones.

Since my box does not have any BT capabilities through the hardware I was wondering what would be involved to find a BT stick that actually works on Android and to implement that into a firmware with support for a different BT chip.

I am quite new to the rom cooking stuff and still can't my head around linux thanks to growing up with Windows.

But my thought were somehow like this:

Take a firmware with BT support as a starting point.

Replace the WiFi driver with the match for the box - already done that and works fine.

Do the same with the BT driver - in theory easy too but where to find a driver or the correct libraries to make it work?

All I found so far in terms of poking around in the kernel is that there is nothing for the WiFi or BT in it.

Replace the WiFi folder in the system partition and the stuff just works, well apart from the usual hickups and problems with the framework and ui due to the different hardware.

So in my simple mind I think it should be quite possible to get a BT stick working on our non-BT boxes?

The above is my method and how i got around it, i understand i could have made the above abit more cleaner but i am in a rush and wanted to help a few fellows.

If anyone has a more detailed description of the above, please let me know so i can post.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
On step one. After you wipe system, data, and cache, your wiping the system to your active slot.the one your on. So I would say you would want to switch slots right here. So your new rom goes on clean slot.

In my experience so far after your step 5 you will have to fastboot boot TWRP again, because you just flashed a rom now and it's not signed anymore. So TWRP will not boot. Unless you have April bootloader in that slot, if you have may in both slots you will have to fastboot boot twrp. So far this is what I have had to do. I would like to know if someone has figured out how to flash a rom on may bootloader's without having to use fastboot.

[Meizu Pro 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] p82maarj:
Nota: Descripción e instrucciones en español más abajo. Spanish description at the end.

I have edited the mixer_paths.xml file to make the earpiece speaker emits the same sound that speaker (filtered to high freqs only), so we have the same as xioami Mi6, Iphone 7, etc.

I have tested in Flyme 6, but the file edited is the same in Flyme 5, and all the [MENTION=2533313]faust93[/MENTION] roms.

Installation methods:

1. With custom recovery TWRP: flash stereo_pro5.zip. For restoring to original status, flash restore_stereo_pro5.zip

2. With root: With a root explorer app, replace the file /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml by the attached mixer_paths.xml. For restoring to original status, replace /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml with file mixer_paths_org.xml attached.

Note: I can not be held responsible for possible failures. Do it at your own risk. There is some risk of using the earpice speaker as multimedia speaker at high volume, but the speaker don't seems to be suffering due to filtering low freqs. I have been using for a week without problems.

-------------------------

He editado el fichero mixer_paths.xml para hacer que el auricular suene a la vez que el altavoz (filtrando las bajas frecuencias). Así el Pro 5 tiene sonido sterero como el MI6, Iphone 7, etc.

Lo he probado en Flyme 6, pero debe funcionar en flyme 5 y en todas las customs roms ya que el fichero mixer_paths.xml siempre es el mismo.

Métodos de Instalacion

1. Con el custom recovery TWRP: Flashear el fichero stereo_pro5.zip. Para volver al estado original, flashear el fichero restore_stereo_pro5.zip

2. Con root: reemplazar el fichero /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml con el fichero mixer_paths.xml adjunto usando un explorador de archivos con permisos de root. Para volver al estado original, reemplazar el fichero /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml con el fichero mixer_paths_org.xml.

Nota: No me hago responsable si se estropea algún auricular. Evidentemente el auricular sufre más que si no se usa para multimedia. El auricular no parece sufrir mucho porque están filtradas las frecuencias bajas. Yo lo llevo usando una semana y no he tenido problemas.
