[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] DHGE:
Short: No

I have not found the boot.tar he mentions ...

Odin is a different beast than Flashtool.

Interesting for me is that the contents of the magical boot.tar flashed via Odin totally enable mounting, modifying system etc.

To make root.bat work adb must run as root on the device!

Not easy but can be achieved. I did this with a modified kernel in 2015 when rooting the first DM-Verity protected device from SONY. Find a link for that (long read) in my [GUIDE]. I guess here are similar things at work, maybe with the patched libs in the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip

But to use this you have to be root in adb to get the libs to the proper places in /system.

For SONY devices DM-Verity and SONY-RIC are in the stock kernels. Modifying anything on the kernel or system partitions will result in a bootloop.

This can not be defeated unless you have SONY's private key to sign your ROM.

In order to modify (e.g. rooting) /system you need a kernel with DM-Verity and SONY-RIC off and an unlocked bootloader to boot this kernel.

I can imagine a way using the exploit that enables us to backup the TA to copy a modified/patched kernel onto the kernel partition.

Will it be possible for the locked bootloader to boot this kernel? I do not know.

BTW I wonder that Flashfire is included. AFAIK this is payware from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

On SONY devices I would not bother.

On devices where there is Marshmallow available you can backup your TA and afterwards unlock the bootloader to do what you intend: rooting or flashing custom ROMs or ....

When you sell the device you just restore the TA and flash a stock ROM -> everything SONY blessed and locked again.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] sciurius:
I have a brand new A3(2017) with a genuine Samsung Neon flip cover. I'd expected the phone to switch on/off when I open/close the cover. However, when I open the cover it starts displaying the time instead of the lock screen, and when I close the cover it doesn't switch off (as can be seen by the glowing edges).

Did I overlook an additional setting?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] sciurius:
After some fiddling with the settings it suddenly works as expected. Unfortunately I have no idea which setting did it ... :o .

To work properly you will need to turn on both NFC and Android Beam.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] sciurius:
Interesting... I have NFC disabled (don't know about Android Beam??) but closing the cover still works.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] babarjuju:
I had this issue and fixed like that :

- disable NFC

- turn off the phone

- remove the cover

- turn on the phone + PIN

- insert the cover

- enable NFC

the cover should work again now, you can disable the NFC if you want
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] sciurius:
I noticed the cover stops working after I answered a phone call.

To fix:

- open cover

- reboot

- close cover

A bit annoying...
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] zikkmu:
Solution found!

Hi. I have found a solution to this issue.

I have a brand new A3 2017. One day after I purchased it I upgraded it to Android 7 Nougat. After this update the neon flip cover didnt6work anymore. NFC and other settings didn't change anything.

I finally managed to solve the issue in NFC/NFC and paying settings. I cancelled the default option "automatically detect NFC setting" to something like "use normal Android settings.

Then I disabled NFC and my cover works like under Android 6.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] berkely:
I'm still stuck.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The funny thing is that it seems the cover is detected. The 2 buttons on the bottom light up when I open the neon cover. However, the screen is not switched off nor on.

I tried playing with the NFC settings and read on another forum that you need to install the flipcase when the device is on but not screen locked. Only little success from time to time. This seems not very properly programmed
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] EMLM:
I'm having the exact same problem, my cover was working for over two months and suddenly it's not. The two buttons on the bottom also light up and off when I open and close the case, but the screen is not responsive.

[SuperSU] MAREK10747:
Hello . If you want to root the Xperia E5 you need :

-Unlocked bootloader https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

-SuperSu (https://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip

-ADB and FASTBOOT

-TWRP and BOOT img http://serwer1738304.home.pl/adb.7z

-Some Time

How to root :

Go to first link and check your bootloader unlock or you can check by typing in dialer *#*#7372489#*#* then >service info> configuration .

If Bootloader unlock allowed: no - you cant unlock bootloader and root the device !!

If Bootloader unlock allowed: yes - go to next step and unlock bootloader and root device

Now you can download super su , and copy to your SDCARD (external sdcard)

Now you can download adb.7z , and

after copy the supersu zip to sd card turn off your device

Unpack to the desktop adb.7z

and in command prompt write

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Now you have a recovery .

First boot this is max 30 minutes or little longer

ROOT

Turn off device

Press vol- and power

If your device start , release only power

If you are in recovery release the vol-

Install the super su zip and reboot

Thats all :D

Root is ready to use​

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] trabant123:
Hi guys,

I happened to accidentally wipe the system partition on my J7 2016 (SM-J710FN) through TWRP during a botched rooting attempt. After noticing that the phone didn't boot up subsequently, I managed to flash a stock ROM via ODIN as given in the below thread.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-j7-2016-stock-rom-build-date-7th-t3515491/amp/

Now the phone boots up fine, but does not connect to any cellular network as the Baseband and IMEI information shows up as 'Null' in the 'About Device'. And I did not have a backup of the 'efs' folder too.

I took the phone to a Samsung Service center, but the service guy said that since the Baseband information is lost there is no other option other than replacing the motherboard. It kind of sounded lame as this is evidently just a software issue, and the device works perfectly in every other way.

I attempted the 'Emergency firmware install' option via Smart Switch, but the tool does not recognize my device even after the manual entry of Model Name and Serial Number.

Is there some other way I could try to get this issue fixed? Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] AsHalt:
Could try faking the IMEI number through some apps, if you still have the box. Otherwise I think it's a lost cause since IMEI number is the device "identity Card number/SSN" as to so to speak.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] trabant123:
Thanks. I still 'know' the IMEI numbers of the device (there are two, being a dual SIM phone) as it is there in the box and under the back cover. Do you mean to say there is no way to flash that info back to the device? Maybe something like a template EFS file to which the info can be added through some tool? Just wondering..
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] messi2050:
Your best chance is to restore other working j7 efs partition but i think after that you will have that device imei
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] trabant123:
The hard part is to find another working efs for this phone which I could possibly use as template for other tools that can alter the IMEI.. I did a bit of googling, but it didn't throw up results other than some password protected zips.

Will do a bit of hunting. Thanks.. :D

I Have Same Problem. But After Flashing 4 File Firmware By Sidrose01 For J710FN With Odin. Thats problem Solved. I Use Odin Because Smart Switch Doesnt Work. Sorry for my bad English. But your CSC will be Changed.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
If ALL you have done is wipe the SYSTEM partition I don't see how the EFS could be lost/corrupted.

My advice would be to first attempt downgrading the current firmware version( IE Android 7 to 6) via ODIN, this in its self can fix many erroneous issues.

Then, Irrespective of whether the device boots or not afterwards, update to the latest firmware. The essential part is that the device auto boots to recovery after flashing with Odin and completes the update.

Or as posted above find the factory 4 file firmware and flash that. Be aware this will likely wipe your device.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Yanktar03:
So far, I really like my A3 2017. But I am noticing that it doesn't have quite the same reception as the J7 it's replacing. I'm using T-Mobile in the US and the network mode only has LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) but no 4G. I've read that H+ and 4G/LTE can be the same thing so maybe I'm wasting time, worrying?

Meanwhile, T-Mo's support for manual settings could be better, and, despite them supposedly supporting "foreign phones" they don't support the "A" series at all.

So why am I abandoning my J7? It's too darn big! Hardly fits in a pocket, and I've destroyed 2 protective cases so far (because Otterbox doesn't make a Defender for it). The A3 is far more compact and my old eyes are just fine with the AMOLED screen. T-Mo is selling the J3 as a downsized version of the J7, but it's nothing of the sort--it can't run Wi-Fi over 2.4ghz!

Haven't launched the fingerprint recog, and not yet ready to root it (so I can get rid of bloatware). But so far so good.

The issue is not creating a 4K display. The issue at hand is creating hardware that can process and render that massive detail onto a 4K display. THAT and that alone is why it started at 2k. Storage is not at par. Internet needs gigabit speeds at the least. And video cards neeed at least 4x improvement. While I agree 4K is a minimum requirement, 4k VR is just not here yet and hardware companies like Nvidia or intel are in no rush to release capable hardware. There’s no profit in rushing

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

With the rebrand of CM to LineageOS (LOS) we are now actually LOS based.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or LOS team, if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't LOS supported, so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

Don't disable Heads-Up. You might not be able to answer phone calls otherwise.

You tell... :P

​

The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Nougat. You don't need to install any Add-Ons, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it, and go!

It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.

If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!

TWRP is the recommended custom recovery (and needed for OTA Updates)

1. full wipe

2. flash ROM

3. flash GApps

(The ROM has GApps persistance in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!

.

KERNEL:

Kernel in this ROM follows LOS source with custom additions.

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM/LOS recovery and OTA app, but you will need to download the zip file and flash it manually from within your recovery. Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vygravlil:
Hey guys!

At first, this is my first post here so please be lenient if I posted this in the wrong section or whatever. I still need to get used to this forum.

Second, English is not my native language so it could become some gibberish from time to time. I also have to mention that my Android skills are somewhere between newbie and advanced, so please keep that in mind.

But let's get ahead to my problem:

Some days ago, I decided to install Linage OS 14 on my SM-N910F because I don't like the Stock Android 6.0.1 of it.

As you know, a custom ROM requires an unlocked bootloader an that's where my struggle starts.

I simply can't find any tutorial or similar for my phone. The only one I found didn't work (It was with adb fastboot, the process got stuck at "<wating for device>" after the command "fastboot unlock oem" which was described in the tutorial).

I retried it about three or four times before I gave up. It feels like I searched the entire internet, including this forum, but I couldn't find anything useful.

Maybe it's my fault because I didn't look properly, but yeah, know I'm here to ask directly:

Do you guys have any tricks, tipps, ideas or tutorials for me to try?

If it helps you, my phone is already rooted. (chainfire's CF Autoroot)

It'd make me really, really happy and already thank you for your (hopefully) incoming answers.

Somehow I can't flash the Gapps package, TWRP always tells me that the file is corrupted. I downloaded both the Pico and the Nano package for ARM Android 7.1* devices. Both don't work. I also tried the Android 7.0.* version, but that didn't work ofcourse. (Error 20: Wrong Android version installed on the device.) Is it my fault because I downloaded the wrong packages or what's the issue?

It'd be awesome if you could help me again.

Okay, now it works. TWRP was right, the file was corrupted. I figured out that my PC kinda messed up the download of the package. I downloaded it with another computer and now everything works fine.
