Does anyone still have their Ares 10a? There's some big stuff going on with http://linux-sunxi.org

EDIT

The whole sunxi thing turned out to be pretty difficult i still haven't gotten it to turn out right, though that was for me A64 version of the 10a. And there seems to be at least a couple to a few different 10a's.

If you've got the Intel Atom version it is much much easier to deal with. If your have an otg adapter and a keyboard, connect them, begin holding power button, and while the screen is still black start mashing Esc on the keyboard. This will bring you to BIOS or the UEFI Setup Utility. Basically if you're familiar with booting a pc to BIOS then you should know what to do. If this works then you're in the money.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.crete:
I've been having this problem for a long time, can't remember how much exactly. No matter what I've tried, I haven't managed to get my computer recognize my opo. I am still running Cyanogen 13.0, as it was the latest OTA update I got.

When I connect it via usb, absolutely nothing happens (I've also tried two cables). I have the device manager open and it doesn't even flash as it used when I had similar problems, which means that the device is not recognized at all. Therefore, I cannot find/update/remove the drivers anyhow.

Developer options on my phone have a bunch of things but none seems relevant, apart from open/close Android debugging (adb) and select USB Configuration (Charging/MTP/PTP etc). I've tried several options, nothing seems to change.

I've also installed some Windows MTP drivers (see here) which were supposedly solving the issue caused by a Windows 10 update, but no luck (which could have been the issue, but can't be sure-I can't remember the last time I was able to browse my phone's memory).

Any ideas?

If win10 causing that much issues,why don't dual boot win7 alongside?

Edit- I personally use Win8.1 Pro and it works fine without any issues.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwlk:
I've been running Windows 10 insider builds for a while and run Into the same issue at some point, I'm not sure on which build you are currently on, I've reported that on the insider HUB but got no reply. I found a "solution" which is selecting PTP in the options and the phone will be mounted as a media device and you'll be able to access DCMI folder and pass files. It doesnt mount always, but you need to try some extra times.

Another workaround is to use an USB drive and the use an OTG cable.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.crete:
Apparently, it was just the cables' fault. I didn't figure it out immediately, as I had two faulty cables instead of one, but after all I came over a working one and the opo was recognized and mounted as usual.

Thanks anyway

Hello, I'm using TofClock_HIMA_WM6_AKU.0.7 on my XDA II (Himalaya) and am wondering (hoping) there is a way to change the rings directory from \Windows\Rings to \Storage Card\Rings. Is this possible? If so, I'd greatly appreciate any help someone here may be able to give.

Thanks in advance
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sunny127:
There are registry tweaks that do so, however the most simple way is to use a program like "PhoneAlarm", in which you can choose a ring from anywhere, including from the SD card.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Carty:
I don't think its a nice idea to use Storage card as a default folder for RingTones. Because, the SD card does not get power immediately after Turning your phone on and so the file cannot be read when you get the phone call.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
So I've had my S7 Edge for about a month now. Great stuff it is, but I honestly do find it a bit lacking compared to my S6 Edge. You can tell the difference between the Exynos7420 and MSM8996 right away with its responsiveness.

But I've updated my vzw S7 to the G935UUEU4BQD2 Nougat firmware. And I've used the ENG Kernel posted by [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] to root my device no problems at all. Although I've figured out a few tweaks that should be added to your Rooting Batch Scripts. These tweaks include which packages to disable in order to prevent random reboots with the ENG Kernel, and CSC tweaks to fix the UI.

I have some questions & observations I'd really appreciate clarification on though, before I get to work on making some real mods.

****

1.) It is very interesting that my device is/was an SM-G935V, but I've flashed the full G935U firmware and the AT&T ENG Nougat Kernel using ODIN 3.12.5 without a hitch.

1A.) The "ENG-ROOT-USA.zip" for S7e Nougat, is an ENG build of Our Stock Kernel/RAMDisk with this in its "default.prop":

*#
# BOOTIMAGE_BUILD_PROPERTIES
#
ro.bootimage.build.date=Tue Jan 31 15:03:01 KST 2017
ro.bootimage.build.date.utc=1485842581
ro.bootimage.build.fingerprint=samsung/hero2qlteuc/hero2qlteatt:7.0/NRD90M/G935AUCE4BQA6:eng/test-keys

Do those boot.img properties really say our ENG Kernel is actually just signed with the Android 7.0 Test Keys? Aren't those supposed to be publicly available? Can't we then use them with the aosp signbootimg utility? Carliv's image kitchen says that the ENG Kernel uses an aosp format ramdisk.

I mean, That means our G935V and/or the G935U firmware will accept firmware from any of the carriers. So why couldn't we flash the Canadian W8 Bootloader overtop of the U firmware?* Or is there something I'm missing there?

3.) I've always thought that AT&T and Verizon firmware don't mix. But the G935U Modem carries all the U.S. bands already. Technically my AP is that of Sprint. But my kernel/boot.img is that of AT&T. And my device is originally that of Verizon.

So I ask good sirs & madams, what gives?

4.) I bring up point number 3 because I couldn't Willy Nilly just flash firmware cross carrier on my AT&T Note 5 or My Verizon S6 Edge. So apparently there IS an Obvious difference between the G925 and G935 device platforms in the United States. Then again, I've been without a carrier contract/plan since December. I've only used my devices as Wi-Fi Devices for months and haven't had to worry about GSM/CDMA network services since then. If my device boots, it boots. Go me!

I prefer to have the hardware rooted anyways. It saves me from going and buying a whole laptop for the same price as my mobile phone, when the two sets of hardware are comparable in most ways.

5.) My CSC code is XAS regardless if I flash the HOME CSC or the OYM CSC. I think because I don't have a SIM Card present in the device. When I try to update through Samsung SmartSwitch PC, is tries to download and install the firmware updates for the XAS CSC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jrkruse:
To answer your first question. You didnt look hard enough at the build properties of the engboot.img. If you notice adb secure=0 this means adb is insecure meaning we can mount the system and data partitions which allows us too push files.

Why do we use an ATT engboot.img? Because its all we have

To answer your other question, you can flash any carrier firmware on your S7 as all carrier phones are the same other than them being carrier locked which verizon is not.

Your csc on Ufirm will not change until a carrier sim is inserted. Thats the only way it knows what csc to install the default csc is XAS so with no sim thats what you get. If you want different on flash csc file only from the carriers firmware you want your csc to be
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
My real question about the ENG Kernel was if it is actually signed with the Google test keys for the Android 7.0 platform or not. Or are those private AT&T only test keys?

Because if it is signed with Google's keys and the device accepts it, doesn't that mean we can sign kernels with the same keys and get it to flash.

I understand why we are able to have ADB Root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jrkruse:
It's a Samsung signature not Google. If you can figure out how to sign a custom kernel with a Samsung signature then you would probably be a pretty popular guy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
Well I was able to find what I believe to be the Verizon Test Keys for 6.0.1 (the .pem & .pk8) back around new years. But I honestly forget what all I can do with those files. I know MM doesn't help for the N firmware. But it's a start. I've been trying to read up on the related topics, but I won't have internet for a couple more weeks.

Do any of the S7 Edge variants have the Maintenance boot mode present in the G925V?

It may be possible to customize the AOSP 'signbootimg' utility in the same ways people like [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] or Cyanogen modify the AOSP 'mkbootimg' & 'unpackbootimg' utilities to help. I mean Samsung must have already done the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] osm0sis:
There is no "signbootimg" that I know of, only recently with BootSignature.jar for the May Pixel bootloader, and Xiaomi has been using it as well. There's also a newer avbtool from Brillo AOSP but we're not seeing that one in the wild yet.

Other than that there are a few reverse-engineered signing methods like Bump and SignBlob, but as far as I know all Samsung has really had going on is that SEANDROIDENFORCE string to avoid the bootloader message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
Well then I'm going to have to go back through some bookmarks, in order to find out where I read that. Because AT one point I read an article about how to use the utility to sign a boot.img using the .pem and .pk8 files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] osm0sis:
You must be thinking about kernel flashing zips? SignApk.jar uses .pk8 and .x509.pem to sign flashable zips and APKs. That's what vendors use for OTA zips.

Google's stock recoveries are always locked to their corporate keys, but often other OEMs' stock recoveries will accept the standard testkeys, which is why Chainfire signs SuperSU's zip with them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
A boot.img is the Kernel right? Isn't that why when you unpack the boot.img you get the kernel ram disk and the initial kernel addresses.

So I would say you are correct, that I am talking about signing a kernel zip in a way.

In chainfire's thread about Android Verified Boot, he talks about what I'm talking about I believe.

Our S7 Edge has a keystore.mbn file which Is new to me as is the Snapdragon. But it's also said that the recovery.img houses the otacerts the device/dm-verity uses to authenticate.

In the case of locked bootloader devices, they don't use standard Google keys, but they use their own private carrier keys. As well as Samsung Factory Keys, which is why Combination Firmware files can be flashed on a locked BL no problem.

But unless they've come up with an entirely closed source addition to Android, I would venture to say Samsung spent some time customizing AVB/SecureBoot & bootimg.h the same way they did to The ART runtime to change the signature structure. More so than trying to reinvent the wheel that stock aosp provides.

I know I say that like it's simpler than it really is. But I still feel like there is a way. What seems impossible now, I don't forsee being as big of a problem in the nearish future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] osm0sis:
Please supply a boot.img and I'll tell you if it's AVB or something else. A number of vendors have their own closed signing methods, unfortunately.

Edit: I found the engineering kernels you mentioned from [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]'s thread. Definitely not AVB. Definitely something proprietary. Kind of like the Samsung/Marvell pxa1088 board signatures described here (specifically the Xcover 3), except those weren't being enforced.

I'm at work right now. I'll give them a closer look when I'm home, but if just re-appending the signature doesn't work then you're likely out of luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
Cool beans! I looked over that first post, and it may actually help me do what I was thinking. The header format they list for those devices looks pretty similar to how the PIT file repartitions the Emmc with ODIN. So with tools like gdisk and the like, I feel it shouldn't be too hard to put 2 and 2 together.

Gotta read that thread some more first. Seems like I was headed in the right direction though.

Maybe I can also find some more information in the Z3X support forums for the Connie Board and safety net stuff to help with the boot image headers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] osm0sis:
That signature on those engineering images is SEANDROIDENFORCE + 256 bytes just like the Xcover 3. Difference is the header is normal AOSP instead of Marvell/Samsung's crazy version. I'm guessing that reappending the signature doesn't make it valid, but that should be your first test before going any further.

My Android Image Kitchen will do everything but add the signature back on. Do a repack with no changes and add the signature back on with a hex editor to see if it'll boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
Thank you for this. I've been moving my house this week, and I'm getting my internet back today. Woop woop. I've been wanting to dive into the topic of signatures for like a month now at least.

I'll see what I can dig up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CyanideHD:
As some of you may know, jrkruse has a rom out for the phone, that allows the system to be modified to an extent without tripping knox and such. Can we possibly install the Crom Service apk as a system app, and unlock the bootloader that way? Won't it have all necessary permissions to unlock it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
I forget where I read on XDA, that the Crom Service APK talks to servers in China in order to send and receive the unlock instructions.

ConsIdering the APP is a first party Samsung Application, I wonder how exactly it goes about turning off the signature verification. Unless the Crom APK actually downloads an unlocked bootloader and flashes it directly to the device itself.

The signatures are stored in the footer of the images. At least in the System Image anyways. Because the fstab file specifically says to mount the system partition with an encryptable footer. That is how ODIN checks if what you are flashing matches the device binary revision.

Using a rooted device on newer builds, or the greyhat root console on older builds, we can pull the stock recovery and find the keystore. Which houses all the signatures the device will accept.

But yes, technically if you can get the APK to load without a Force Close, it should have the needed permissions. It was built using the Knox/Galaxy SDK's.

My v10 is almost dead and thinking about buying this on the cheap. Couple of questions for current owners:

1. Is the camera really that terrible?

2. How is the dev support for this phone? Dev section looks 100x better than V10's lol

3. Another choice is Axon 7. Anyone that had that phone before and how it compares?

Camera is on par with the likes of Nexus 5X, S6 or iPhone 7 if you use Google Camera App.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike2017pi:
Hi,

I am just a Android user, but I believe my observations and questions are interesting and relevant to people in this forum.

I use a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) and wanted to use one of the many VLC remote control apps towards my Ubuntu computer that has a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (Lite-on). Unfortunately none of them worked. All had network issues. I tried different ports and also used several browsers to access the http server of vlc directly, but even the browser had issues: it basically kept synchronised for 4 or 5 seconds, then lost synch and recovered only after roughly 15 seconds just to loose synch again after 4 or 5 seconds.

I checked the TCP connection. It did not break down. However, every 4th or 5th GET request got delayed by around 14 seconds.

I digged into it and found out that the A3 sends a TDLS Setup Request to the QCA9565, gets a TDSL Setup Response and then sends a TDLS Setup Confirm which is replied by the QCA9565 with a TDLS Teardown. After that, the connection between the two hosts is dead for about 14 seconds.

Other hosts in the network did not have such issues, but as far as I can see, they are also not using TDSL. So I suspect that some issues with TDLS between my Samsung A3 and my Ubuntu machine regularly interrupt the local WiFi connection between the two.

So now my question: Is it somehow possible to disable TDLS on my Android phone? Or are there any vlc remote apps around that somehow suppress TDLS for such local WiFi communcation?

Thanks

Michael
