[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerlreed:
I have an SM-N900V that I acquired on PL1. I promptly downgraded to OF1, rooted, unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, and started with custom ROMs. I wanted to see if I could get LTE band 4 enabled from the ServiceMenu. This obviously isn't available in custom ROMs so I used the stock OF1 image and flashed from TWRP.

Upon booting and getting everything setup (And enabling dialer codes in /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu), the ServiceMode code doesn't work. I know Verizon updated to block this out so next I flashed 4.4.2 (and the accompanying modem). Other dialer codes worked but still no SerivceMode.

Question is: Is there something on the EFS partition that Verizon changed to block this out? EFS is the only common denominator between every setup that I have tried. I haven't been able to access SeviceMode anywhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I don't have an answer, only a few suggestions and a hypothesis.

If you have an old efs partition dump (debrick image anyone?) you could (loopback) mount that blob of bytes (read-only) and do checksum of all files or simply just file timestamp checks against a more recent backup (or partition blob dump). That would give you a shortlist of things that change within efs. Won't tell you if any of those changes are relevant to your inquiry though.

Speculation: some dialer codes are simply intercepted via the framework in order to launch "hidden" Android activities. Others however actually pass dialcodes to Verizon's network (e.g. activation). If that's the case here then the possibility is that the disabling of the functionality is instrumented within Verizon's infrastructure rather than on the device. If that is the case using dialcodes won't help you.

I'm not saying that's the case; I don't know. But it's one of many possibilities.

You can browse through activities using apps such as "Activity Launcher" (Adam Szalkowski) or "App Browser" (Brian Estey), but you might have to launch them from the command line in a root shell using the "am" command (Activity Manager). If I am recalling correctly, you can get around certain permissions problems (e.g. the Browser apps not having the correct set of Android privileges) launching exported activities this way. (I hope I am remembering this correctly). If the activities on the phone only rely on some feedback from Verizon only to launch them, then using this approach (the activity manager) might provide an end-run around using dialcodes.

Finally, if you are looking for hypotheses, you might find something like this useful for generating some more places to look at:

cd /system/lib
for x in *ril* ; do
echo "LIBRARY FILE $x"
strings $x | grep -i efs
echo ' '
done

I see a number of references to filesystems in /efs within some of those radio interface libraries.

good luck. I suppose you were hopeful for a "simple answer"; but a reply of "here's where you can start some heavy lifting" is better than no response at all.

Hi,

I received today a notification to upgrade to B360 ( i still use the 4.1.3 emui B151), while my phone as Unlocked Bootloader and root!! I was thinking it was impossible to received this notification when the phone was rooted.

I have a few question yet:

1 If I upgrade to B360 should I loose the unlocked bootloader?

2 If i upgrade to B360 should I loose the root? When yes, how can I root my phone?

3 If i upgrade to B360, can I use Xposed Modules as with B151,

Thanks You for your Help!!!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
You will only lose root and xpose. Theres a thread in here about the twrp for emui 5. Start from that if you want root again xpose included.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Thank you!!

But i have a question, the notification I received is the Final rom or the Beta Rom?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
Final but improvements will be roll out in the next builds
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Rhanks You !!!!

A latest question, can I install this update directly from the Software Update, and than flash the modded Recovery?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
Yes you can. :D
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Thanks a Lot!!

I upgrade and root and install TWRP this morning. All work thine, but I am a little disapointed.

1 I can not uptade The latest SU Binary from SuperSU...... How to fix it?

2 How can I found the Dalvik size etc... because in the new Build.prop, there is nothing ...

3 In phone info, my Buil still in Test Key, and I dont have anymore the systeme update...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
You updated through ota? First time seeing the test key build number error because of update through ota
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Yess, I updated trough OTA... So yet, what should i do to update my phone to B360 without problem?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
In my experience the only solution to this is to backup data, then if possible, use firmware updater (can downloadn in playstore) then download the b360 update with the Full ota-mf-pv tag. Flash it using dload method. About thw dload method search the honor 6x threads cause i dont use it. I did not encounter this problem when updating
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Thanks You [MENTION=8243118]darKz22[/MENTION], I updated with the update data from firmware updater, and all is thine yet.

But I can not update the SU binary, and install Busy Box.... Any Idea??
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] darKz22:
Is the build number and system update present? If it is im glad to know that. If you really want to root your phone the go to this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413

It will answer all your questions about that :D

Be advise that emui 5 uses a different twrp version than emui 4.1 just reaf op's post and you will be fine ;)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ben75011:
Thanks You!! All work fine yet. I do a fresh install, installed TWRP and SuperSU and all work thine yet!

I hardly flashed the TWRP 3.1.0.2 recovery, tried for 3 days now to flash the SuperSU but unfortunately i couldn't, when I flash it, it goes under some process but no change & no SuperSU app when booting the divece.

So please help I just want that stupid root. ☺️

My understanding is that a high rate of charging heats the battery excessively, causing it to degrade faster. This could be prevented more easily if it was possible to limit charge rate (to, for example, 500 mA) using a suitable app. Is that possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_unmatched:
I dont think so.... current is determined by battery source & resistance. Without a variable resistor that can be control through some software. Not sure how that would go. I dont think phones are made now to run at variable currents with stability. I know some devices can run at lower currents with a set current as the absolute max.... anything above you are going to destroy the device. Smartphones now arr like computers & pretty close to being just as sensitive as one too.

I know you can use other chargers with lower currents to charge your device

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sirandar:
Every phone that doesn't die of obsolescence deserves a postmortem review:

Reliability: Poor .... my unit developed instability after only 1 year of use. I blamed Google, I blamed developers, I blamed myself, but in reality my Note 4 had a slowly failing MMC unit which caused worse and worse instability and inevitable premature death. I had planned to use my Note for for at least 3 more years.

Out Of the Box Experience:

The phone as it was sold by Bell had a lot of crap I needed to get rid of, but not enough to bother rooting.

The was one critical oversight in that WiFi power saving was enabled and this caused the mayhem of unstable and unusable WiFi

Over Time:

This phone required 3 factory resets over 2ish years ..... not a great record, but they may have been related to MMC failing

Bought a nice Samsung branded folding case ....... over time i realized that it seriously impaired GPS lock ...... never used again

In the second year it had intermittent problems with acquiring a GPS lock even without the case, usually at the worst times .... may be a separate issue or related to MMC failure.

Near the end of its life I had charging issues and shutdowns way above 10% battery. Bought another battery .... didn't help much.

Other than this is was a thoughtfully designed and very useful phone. I was sad to see it go despite how much it annoyed me.

When I went to buy a new phone I got a good price on a unlocked LG V20 which I love. I initially asked for a used Note 5 and he asked why Samsung and I told him about my Note 4 and later its MMC errors. He didn't offer to try to fix it. I offered to give the tech my Note 4 for parts and he didn't want it as he said he already had 4.

TyTN II: No boot, stuck at "smart mobility"-screen, where to get german stock ROM?

Hi,

after a soft-reset my TyTN II (unbranded german) only shows the "smart mobility"-screen, and after a few seconds it starts over to boot from the beginning again. No improvement with hard-reset.

As far as i have read here, my ROM is broken, which could be fixed by reflashing it. I can enter the bootloader, so it would probably work. The only problem is, that there is no german stock ROM. This means i had to use HardSPL + Reconstructed ROM. But if i do so, i would lose my warranty, so this is no option for me.

I asked HTC for the german stock ROM, but that girl at the phone told me she had no access and i had to send it for repair. This would take lots of time, so i would like to avoid it.

Now my question: Where to get the original german stock rom? Maybe the guys that uploaded the rom in other languages can tell? Or any other ideas?

[Blu Vivo 5] heavymetalbr:
Hi friends,

i already tried all the guides from xda and my blu vivo 5 doesnt work with this combination: marshmallow+twrp+root.

I did the flash to android 5.1 and ok;

i did the ota update to android 6 ok;

when i try flash to twrp, my fastboot doesnt work, i have this message:

"fastboot mode...

the function had been switched off for private information secure,forced open would be at risk". And i cant acess the recover mode using volu - plus power buttom,simply doesnt work.This happend only after the ota uptade to android 6.

I dont know how to fix it,any idea about what the hell is going on?
[Blu Vivo 5] wohcalamity:
up!! same problem here i tried absolutely all methods and app's but no one helped as long as the boot loader is locked i can't get any chance to root this phone *Blu vivo5* *Android 6.0-Marshmallow*
[Blu Vivo 5] heavymetalbr:
Friend, i did it.Now im on marshmallow + twrp+ xposed everything alright, including battery.

What happend to me(its not so easy like these guides and steps):

Ive tried a lot of combinations of configurations...try this:

1- flash to stock rom, use flash tool like administrator, dont select user data and flash.

2- wait phone reboot, if stop in boot logo, just press power down and wait.I did some errors here, apps erros and the phone stay in loop on boot, so, if happends just press volume + and power, wipe cache and restore, it will work and you will acess normally.So, go to settings and give a new format factory.After this, do ota update,there are two, one with 97 mb and the android with more that 1gb.

3-Same way, after config marshmallow, wipe cache and do restore,so, go to flash tool again, here is the "key" that works to me :

take the recovery file from this post : [ROOT][HOW TO] Going from Stock Lollipop to marshmallow official and root it!!! (sorry but i cant post links) and do the same, dont select user data and flash.After flash, press vol + and power and see if your phone goes to twrp menu, if doesnt work, flash again until it works.I tried a lot of times and i have a strange issue, my phone lose acess to twrp sometimes and i have to repeat the flash process.

After you get the twrp the things will be easy, just take the super su file and install with twrp.

So, i did it even being with fastboot locked and i didnt set usb debbuging or any configuration, just flash and wipe until it works, but work...

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Are Project Fi purchased phones SIM unlocked?

When purchased brand new from Project Fi on the monthly payment program?

Are they SIM unlocked for use on any carrier worldwide?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
"If I buy a new Pixel, Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X from Project Fi, will it work with other wireless providers?

Yes, a Pixel, Nexus 5X, or Nexus 6P you get from Project Fi comes unlocked and can be used with other wireless providers if you choose to leave our service."

taken from https://fi.google.com/about/faq/#supported-devices-5
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Project FI is a sim card that you can purchase separately from a phone that supports it. A phone that supports Project FI it is not tied to it. In other words, phones and Project FI are different things. Now, if you buy a phone from Google Play store, it will be completely unlocked.

Is someone trying to scam you by selling you a "Project FI phone?"
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jammol:
I purchase my devices from Project Fi. They are Sim unlocked just like the ones from the Google Store because they are the ones from the Google Store. However, Project Fi has their own stock of devices. When it comes time to warranty the device, you contact Project Fi, not the Google Store or Google Support.

So technically they are Project Fi phones? Yes and now I guess??

Yeah I asked them. It's all under the same address but the stock is separated. I first noticed this when I was going to order the Pixel XL and the Google Store said 5 weeks before it would ship out because of stock. That's when I remembered I got Project Fi. Called them and ordered it, got the phone the next day because their stock is different than the Google Store. They all come out of the same warehouse though. Same thing with the warranty devices.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Google purchased vs. Project Fi purchased phones not only come from different supplies but even have different warranty policies.

Such as extended warranty from Google is a totally different company than extended warranty from Project Fi.
