[Moto Z Questions & Answers] mfn89:
Hello, I buy Moto Z from second hand one month ago. This Moto work on Lineage OS, i want change it to stock android for this phone cause any roms drain battery so fast. i have few questions about it:

1. I read that the best option is the BR version but nowhere in this post can I find the BR version. Could someone send a link to this version?

2. I do not have an original Motorola cable. I read that one is needed to flash in Fastboot. is it true?

3. The logo when you start my phone is not the factory logo for this phone, how can I change it?

Thanks for any replies, regards.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] rnchase1:
1. Here's the version I used https://redirect.viglink.com/?forma...mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware...fficial/RETUS/

2. The original cable (at least mine) is part of the charger USB C on one end then US 110V on the other with no USB connection to connect it to a PC. I used a cable I bought off amazon

3. Do you mean the warning your phone can't be trusted because you unlocked the bootloader or the animation? If the animation that will change based on what ROM your running.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Mf.N:
It's ROM to install with fastboot, rights?

Your cable is certified or any cable USB C was good?

I had a thought for the logo as it would launch the phone. I do not mean the logo of the starting android.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] rnchase1:
Stock ROM yes, custom ROMs will need a custom recovery like TWRP

Anyone on stock that has issues with sound quality from the speaker when on very low volume? Music or video from any app.

The sound is kind of muted if below a certain level. Like if a noice gate filters it out.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bowhunt2005:
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. My g6 connects to my car everytime but the volume is much lower than when I have the radio on sirrius or even fm stations. The bluetooth volume on the phone is all the way maxed and I can actually max the radio volume without it being that loud. When on FM radio, I won't get even close to maxing the volume before it's too loud. Is there an equalizer or some audio setting for output? BTW, it's actually the same when I plug the headphone jack into the car with a 3.5mm cable. Thanks for any ideas and advice.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bowhunt2005:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LandRocket:
Hi there

I can only apologize for having to ask this question, and I do feel a complete n00b for having to ask, but I actually can't afford to get this wrong, so need some help from people who know what they are doing

I've just defected from my Apple iPhone 6+, as Android phones are the only ones that are listed as 100% compatible with my Tobii I12 eyegaze communication device. Using this device I can make calls, texts, Facebook, pretty much anything I want to without needing physical access to the phone.

Now, I also have a Samsung Tab 2 (SM-T700) which I rooted, installed recovery, custom ROM etc some time ago, as it was only a cheap tablet and if it all went wrong, I could afford to wait and mess around to try and fix it.

The thing is, it's more essential my S8+ is working, as I use it with my communication aid to get through to the outside world.

OK, so what do I want to do? Obviously, I'm hoping to achieve root, and one of the reasons for this is because I paid full price for my S8+ (not a network upgrade), the full >£700. This in turn means that I get the privilege of being punished by not being able to use Three WiFi Calling. The signal at my house is a bit shaky, and I read that with a CSC (Country Specific Code) I might be able to get VoWifi working :) It'd also be nice to know my phone had the capability of running what I want it to....

So, I know that rooting is going to trip knox & warranty void. Not an issue. Having a device that does what I ask it to is more important than some stupid warranty.

However, I have read that before doing ANYTHING, I should make sure I have a backup of this EFS/IMEI partition. Because once it's gone, it's gone for good.

Now I never did anything like this for my tablet, so now I'm just a bit scared I'm going to wipe this partition and completely hose my phone in the future.

So, can somebody please let me know what I should be doing? I really can't afford to be without my phone, but I really need Wifi Calling to work! :(

Sorry if this is a n00b question that has been answered before. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LandRocket:
Never mind.....

Did a bit more reading today and it makes more sense now.... EFS partition is just a partition on the device; and there are many tools that can backup partitions.... with root, I could even just 'dd' it

Going to take it slowly, but hopefully I can start contributing soon instead of just asking questions :)

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] El Presidente81:
I'm kinda curious about this too, this will be my first attempt at rooting a Samsung and I've seen horror stories about losing the EFS partition in the past.

Incidentally, if you're based in the UK, tripping knox doesn't void your warranty.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] nighteeeeeY:
Hi

so I bought a new Moto Z because I wanna use Xposed. Had already another one, updated to Nougat unfortunately. So I bought a new one.

Unlocked bootloader, flashed Recovery, flashed TurboZ Kernel, (all after this guide) tried to root it. There is the problem.

Once I flashed SuperSU.zip and booted, opened SuperSU everything is fine. But when I open an app which requires root access, the grant access dialog opens, I grant access, but then the app freezes or doesnt recieve the access. I open SuperSU again and now theres a pop up dialog which only says "root undeteced" and a link to "How to root" on the SuperSU Homepage.

I tried with 2.82, 2.81, 2.79 (which has another dialog coming up saying "there is no super su data installed and super su cant install it) with the same link). Tried with 2.46, doesnt even install it via recovery flashing. Soooo....I dont know. Xposed is somehow working since I flashed it and modules are working fine but everything else isnt. Which is super weird.

I googled it of course and it seems that there is a problem with newer versions of super su atm where other people have the same issue. But I wanted it to use as my daily driver now and dont want to set it up if root doesnt work properly.

In some thread some guy suggested to install Magisk. Never heard of it. Read a bit about it....didnt quite get it. Is this a root alternative or something?

Can someone please help me. Its pretty annoying. :(

Thanks a lot already!

Cheers
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] drfranz:
Had issues with supersu, too. Installing magisk is indeed the way to go, and, yes, it is an alternative root method and more. Flash zip file in twrp, then install magisk manager from play store.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elviss_f:
Hello, I can't connect to my local mobile network anymore.

So I can't call or receive phone calls.

I am in Latvia, Baltic region.

My imei is legit and working, so is my phone number.

When I search for my mobile network it finds it -LV TELE2, easy, but when I attempt to connect to it, it shows it 'can't connect to this network try later', when of course the network is working properly for other phones., and it is the network that worked before.

I happened after I flashed a custom lineage rom. It was the right rom for my device,

and I flashed it in correct order and all worked except mobile networks.

I thought using odin to flash back the stock rom will fix it, but it didn't.

Now I am back to stock 7.0 , flashed csc SEB version for my region.

Now in mobile networks there is only Lte/2g/3g options, why there is no gsm or vcdma mobile service?

I believe my provider is gsm, so how to restore it so I could call again?

It shows no service in the drawer, and can't connect to my carrier.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you ^_^)/
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reikar:
Had same problem after my motherboard was changed in some mobile repair shop and old imei and stuff copied from old motherboard. After flashing stock 7.0 with ODIN, I had same problem. Luckily repair guy added some certs back free of charge. Something to do with not being official Samsung repair place and not having right kind of tool.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elviss_f:
Thank you for your info. Then it must be possible to fix it with the right tools even at home! I am sure there must be someone who knows how to do it and can help me, and many others with the same problem.

When you tap *#0011# imei status is OK or NG?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elviss_f:
Hello, I typed *#0011# and yes imei status is ok, more info - rat=gsm (2g), band=pgsm900 and reg status is = not registered.

So this couldn't be an imei problem, could it?

During this time, I tried many roms, nougat and marshmallow, official and custom, but none has fixed it yet.

I was thinking, flashing original galaxy s6 lollipop rom will definitely do the trick,

because I remember I had a similar problem with my old galaxy s plus phone,

it was impossible to connect to any mobile network on any rom,

until I flashed the oldest stock rom for the device.

But the problem is, I can't find a working download for a custom lollipop rom, they are extinct it seems,

and the official lollipop rom can't be flashed with odin, obviously, because I have a higher fw already.

Official lollipop would be the best and would show if the problem is software related for once and for all,

but how to install it when knox and all kinds of binaries doesn't allow me to flash it with odin?

Is there another way to do it?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elviss_f:
No need for this anymore, never solved the issue.

I sold the phone.

Thanks anyways ^-^)/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
As topic says.. Is it possible to exclude something from boot that would disable the hardware that talks to the tower?

I do need the wifi and bluetooth frequencies, i just don't want to talk to the cell tower at all, naturally because the imei is being broadcasted continuously. The only way is to physically disable the chip that talks with the tower. So that is my question
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
You can remove the IMEI, why do you need to do this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
I just want a cheap terminal that only talks through wifi and bt
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Have you tried turning Airplane mode on while WiFi is on? You should be able to use WiFi while in Airplane mode. If you have a SIM, remove the SIM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
Well what i'm asking is if it's possible to physically disable the radio communication with the tower, instead of software solution like airplane mode etc.. For example by removing some code from the boot process.. Also do you know of any good guides on IMEI editing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Discussions of how to alter IMEI are not allowed at XDA. It's in the forum rules, sorry. I'm just telling you it's an option. You can probably edit your build.prop to do this also. I don't know which lines you need to edit, build.prop is different for every device but you should see lines related to SIM, RIL or radio, try editing some of those lines, one of them will probably disable the radio. You might can delete the ril libs and files in system.

Long story short, this CAN be done by software changes instead of hardware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
oh lol, i didn't know that.. That it's a sensitive subject.. i was just asking out of curiosity, because second hand S2's are like $30 a pop and can be modded to suits lots of tasks..

thx though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Changing IMEI is illegal in a lot of places, that's why it isn't allowed here. Modifying system is not illegal though, that's why I suggested some other things to try.

[MENTION=6915831]MigoMujahid[/MENTION], are you familiar enough with i9100 to know where he can mod to do this? He should be able to do it in build.prop, I just don't know what the i9100 has in build.prop so I don't know which lines to tell them to edit. Or would deleting ril libs from system work? I accidentally did this with my S3, edited build.prop trying to remove SIM dependency in the ROMs I used because my device was 3G and didn't require a SIM, I killed it's ability to register to the network by removing the line that tells the device to wait for or use the SIM but I can't remember exactly, that was 2 or 3 years ago. Ended up keeping the SIM dependency because everything I tried killed the radio completely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
Yes ok i can understand that, but i'm not looking to do anything illegal, just mod the S2 into a nice cheap replaceable wifi remote with good battery life and a great screen and interface
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Look on ebay then, I'm sure you'll find working S2's with bad IMEI/ESN, buy one of those.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Sorry i didn't get the mention in neither XDA labs nor Tapatalk, don't know how!

I was talking to postafoa about that already, i also suggested the airplane mode but it wasn't the solution, i took a look at my build.prop but found nothing about that as well, i only found 3 lines about ril but not sure there's anything useful about them.

Also i took a look at development tools in "developer options" in my current ROM and i found nothing ALTHOUGH i remember messing around there before and found some button that said "disable radio" but now i can't find it.

I will take a look at this again. [MENTION=4476746]postafoa[/MENTION]

EDIT: OK, i found something interesting, open your dialer, dial "*#*#4636#*#*"(without quote marks...or whatever they're called), select Phone Information, scroll down, and press the "Turn off radio" button.

that might be helpful...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
I have a 'Cellular Radio Power' slider in my settings, which is very interesting

Very helpful post already, so thanks MigoMujahid. With the setting ON and no SIM card i get Data Network type: UMTS, and it chooses a preferred network type, which means it has negotiated a link with the tower. With the setting OFF these settings don't appear, so it would seem it really works! I'll try to confirm this and also look into build.prop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Did you see any other lines in build.prop that said anything like: ril, ril.lib****.so, persist_radio, 911, apn, SIM, telephony, mms, sms, GPS or any other function that would have anything to do with the device or an app communicating with cellular provider network? Maybe changing all instances of those elements in build.prop to =false or =0, instead of =true or =1?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
No, nothing about that at all, I'm on add DU 10.6 right now, not sure if there are better options in stock ROM, build.prop used to have more lines.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libsecril-shim.so

rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0

ro.ril.telephony.mqanelements=5

but to be frank, the other solution you mentioned is more interesting, if it really turns off the radio
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
It's definitely different with stock vs. custom, it just depends on the ROM whether any of those elements are referenced in build.prop. I've had ROMs of all kinds on that S3 and none of them had anything close to the same in general.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Hmm, not sure. Generally, the lines would have a true/false or 1/0 for on/off. Those lines you posted don't have either of those values.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

I'm thinking that the dialer secret menu that [MENTION=6915831]MigoMujahid[/MENTION] mentioned probably does the trick, not sure if it kills the WiFi part of radio though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Yeah, i noticed the same, stock always had more options.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
On N7.1.2 (latest AICP 12.1) it's a slider called 'Cellular Radio Power', which is pretty descriptive and seems to do just the trick, at least according to AIMSICD and About Phone - Status

On another phone S2 plus with a SIM card which is running JB5.1.1 it's a button called 'TURN OFF RADIO' and again, seems to do the trick. Wifi and bt remain unaffected.

I thought this was gonna require some elaborate hack and was going to be difficult or impossible, but then MigoMujahid strolls in and slaps the perfect answer on the table :) So i'd say this case is pretty much solved. Thx MigoMujahid!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
Update: in initial testing i have ' Cell Standby ' at the top of the list in battery stats from the moment of boot. It doesn't seem to be an app or service, and i still need more data. I'm not familiar with betterbatterystats, can someone say how i should run it, in watchdog mode, active mode, or both?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
Update without the RIL libs and modules, 'Cell Standby' constantly stays on top in battery usage list. i guess something goes into a polling mode. I've yet to study the logs to see what's going on there. I'm guessing that some system app needs to be deleted as well.

without RIL libs the Cellular radio power slider in test settings also doesn't stick, it reverts when exiting the screen.

All in all something more needs to be disabled before this is viable, for now setting the radio power switch in test mode manually after every boot seems to be the most viable option, since there's no need to mess with ROM, but i'm guessing there's no easy way to make that setting persistent across boots?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
Using the RIL disable script, Cell standby stays on top of the list in battery usage. I believe it's still in contact with the GSM tower, but the OS just can't read any data from the chip. I can't confirm this however. For now, the manual mode seems to be more viable, but it would be lovely to have a verified way to actually switch off the GSM tranceiver in software during boot.

Anyone willing to look at more options?
