I'd just like to point out he didn't steal ****, you gave him the phone it IS his property, and while it would be nice for him to provide the rom free but the fact that you are so entitled to all this devs work for basically $200 is so beyond ignorant, you should be ashamed. He's asking for $5, stop being so ****ing stingey. Do you know how much work rom development takes?

What I find amusing is the lack of kernel source from Meticulus. He is bound by the GPL to release it.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SubjectGinger:
Hence why he stopped development rtard. He doesn't want to do it for free anymore so he stopped doing it. If you're so adamant​ about free roms why don't you get up off your ass and do it yourself instead of complaining.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dakkaron:
I am trying to root my Moto Z Play without unlocking the bootloader. It's the first smartphone I bought new (the other ones I bought used), so as long as I have warranty I'd like to (officially) keep it.

I am currently running Android 6.0.1, which is vulnerable against Dirty COW. I tried it and managed to get a working root shell. Now I need to get around SELinux. From what I read, I only need to change the content of /sys/fs/selinux/enforce from 1 to 0, which is very easy with Dirty COW.

My question is now, if I do this, can this possibly brick the phone because the bootloader detects SELinux to be in permissive mode? Does anyone know anything about that?

If this works out, I'd gladly share the whole exploit, create pre-built binaries and document the whole thing. I just don't want to brick my phone two days after I got it.

PS: The Dirty COW exploit should work up to Android 7.1, from what I read. I don't know if it works on Android 7.1.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dchoi229:
Just giving you my input... developers woud've already informed most of us if the Z play is able to be rooted without unlocking the bootloader. EVERYONE has unlocked their bootloader in order to root so... I'm pretty sure you have to unlock it. I wouldnt play around with the Z play if I were you lol.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Dakkaron:
Oh, rooting itself was a breeze. Just getting around SELinux is not that easy. I just tried it out, and it seems like I did not understand SELinuxFS correctly. Dirty Cow sadly does not seem to be able to write onto the SELinuxFS

It's not necessarily the case. I am a developer myself, only that I only worked on my old Motorola Droid 4 (just swapped it out this week for the Moto Z Play), where there was no SELinux yet. What I've seen with many devices is, if there is one easy way of rooting and the device does not have enormous market share, developers usually don't try to find other ways to get in.

But I'll have a look and see what else I can do.

I don't necessarily need to get around all of SELinux. All I want to do is run mount and chroot so I can run a proper Linux subsystem on the device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fR33Styler:
Hi there,

i read a lot of tutorials (tasker & co) and threads in boards.. but still in front of a mountain (with questionmarks).

I have a i9100 and it´s pretty empty (gapps only play store, wiped etc.) with LineageOS (current version) based on 7.1.2 with a "twin card" installed.. and like to use this permanetly in my car.

Main goal: i dont want touch the phone in my (BMW)snap in adapter (not for power on, not to call, not to turn on blutooth etc.)... » it works when i start the engine, if i dont drive for 2-3 days there is still battery | everything else i do with my steering wheel remote control or BMW voice control (like the oldschool car phones - i just want to make a call.. thats all).

Requirements:

Blutooth connection when i drive.

My Idea:

1. If the car is powered (voltage @ can-bus) the i9100 turns automatically on blutooth and connects to BMW idrive.

2. If i lock the car (or can-bus shuts down energy) the i9100 turns off whats possible (airplane mode or more?)

3a) best case, if (i9100) battery is empty the i1900 boots, types in phonecard number and starts blutooth when the car is powered

Any ideas (in detail) from you how to realize this (help me climb the questionmark mountain)?

Best regards

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RKN_:
Hi guys,

I previously did some investigation with this issue in this thread , where I had distorted audio on my JBL speaker. However the problem is different now and happens on multiple Samsung devices.

When using Bluetooth audio with my brand new car, the audio from my Galaxy S8 is distorted so that treble sounds like static, like as if the sound is a really low bitrate or playing from some old broken radio.

Today i got my S8 replaced under warranty - so im using a BRAND NEW factory fresh phone and still getting this horrible distortion.

We also have an S6 Edge in our family and it sounds the same. However, other phones sound fine in the car.

Car: 2016 Honda Civic

Phones attempted:

Galaxy S8 SM-G950F, One purchased in April, One brand new today 20 July, both sound really distorted

Galaxy S6 Edge sounds really distorted

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact sounds normal, high quality

iPhone 6 sounds normal, high quality

Apps tried:

Spotify Premium with Extreme Quality downloaded songs

Google Play Music

Native Samsung music player

Youtube for Android

Native Sony Xperia player on the Z3 (sounded great)

Native Music player on iPhone 6 (sounded great)

Car is of course under warranty but cant really blame it as it only happens on Samsung phones, not other phones. Any idea why this is happening?

My guess is something wrong with Samsung's bluetooth drivers. Is there some incompatibility between Bluetooth versions? Would really appreciate your thoughts :) thanks.

Thanks mate! im going to try and raise this with Samsung soon at the Melbourne Central store where I live. No idea if we'll get anywhere.

For my car at least, my workaround is play using Android Auto. Pros: sound is clear, Cons: Car EQ settings are not accessible without exiting Android Auto (but thats a Honda problem anyway).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cool_head:
Sorry to say but there’s no solution to the problem.. I had 2 S8 replacements and Samsung has refunded my money back assuming that there’s no solution. If you have 2 devices paired at the same time you will lose sound quality. Maybe sometime in the future Samsung will fix the issue with an update but right now there’s no permanent fix.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] masi0:
had same problem - after removing Gear S3 quality improved.

I think the problem is that Gear S3 establishes permament audio connection with the phone taking portion of BT bandwith

now i own suunto and no such problem either with speakers or audio in car
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cool_head:
Nope. It happens with any bluetooth device. Even with a simple Bluetooth tracker paired, the sound quality decreases. Not only with gear s3. Sorry, but at the moment there’s no fix. I’ve tested everything you can imagine (with samsung technicians by my side at support center) without success. When you pair ANY Bluetooth device together with your Bluetooth headphones, the quality decreases. [emoji31]

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] patrickDE:
Hey,

I also had this problem for a while.

Maybe there will be a solution in 1-2 months for all of us.

After the oreo beta arrived in germany today I installed it right away and the bluetooth sound quality seems to be way better.

I noticed less treble distortion than before, some songs I couldn't hearwithout skipping them now sound way clearer.

Update placebo effect? Who knows.

I still have to confirm this a few more times over the next few days but today was the first time this month that I didn't want to throw my device out of the window while driving.

Maybe you could also enroll in the beta and try it for yourself?

Connected devices are:

moto360 1st gen

Fitbit charge HR with constant sync

(don't laugh) pokemon go plus

Alpine Car radio

I am using poweramp in the 3.x alpha version.

This setup worked flawlessly for almost a year with my old nexus 6P and I hope it will continue to work as good as today with my S8+...

Hello everyone, I've been having the same exact issue for a while now (Galaxy S8 + Honda Civic 2017 audio) and just updated to Android Oreo (non-beta) and, unfortunately the issue is still there. I can't tell if the sound quality improved a bit or not, but it's definitely not perfect (as it used to be with other phones). I just tried playing the exact same song using Google Play Music on my S8 and on my wife's iPhone and the difference is very clear! This is so frustrating!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bernardos70:
I have a Note 8 and a 2018 Civic and bluetooth sounds distorted as described.

I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had the chance because I just got Oreo on T-mobile last night, but there are some options for bluetooth protocols under developer options now, and I changed mine to AptX. Let's hope that fixes things. I think I read elsewhere it could just simply be that. But now that I have it I'll give it a go tonight and report back!

[IMG="Note 8 Oreo Bluetooth Developer Options"]https://preview.ibb.co/keabRJ/bluetooth_dev_ops.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] guaycuru:
That's very interesting, my S8 also has those options under developer options, so I'll try some combinations and report back if I find one that fixes the issue! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bernardos70:
Just read another thread here at XDA that says changing the Bluetooth AVRCP Version to AVRCP 1.6 (defautl is AVRCP 1.4) fixes sounds issues, so I'd start there. I'll be trying it in about 2 hours if no one else gets to it earlier!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] guaycuru:
I tried changing to AVRCP 1.6 and, unfortunately, it made no difference. I also tried changing other settings like codec or bit rate, but most of the changes were not accepted, probably due to my car audio not supporting them. The one that it did accept changing was LDAC quality (which probably makes no difference since it doesn't appear to support LDAC), but it made no difference either.

It's so frustrating having a flagship phone and getting such crappy audio quality on Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bernardos70:
I've arrived at the same conclusion unfortunately. The settings don't do much. And it's kinda frustrating because I've rented a few cars this year, and I've had a problem like this will all of them (a Kia Soul, a Ford Focus, and a Hyundai Sonata) and all of them had the same problem.

Thankfully Android Auto fixes these issues. If it's a short trip I just deal with the crappy audio, but I'll keep trying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] guaycuru:
Hmm it's good to know that it's nothing specific to our cars (Honda Civic) but to our phones. I also use Android Auto whenever possible, but end up dealing with the bad audio quality fro short trips.

Hi,

I have successfully unlocked my motorola phone using the motolora support

page.

Unfortunately, the motorola device does not have su(1) on it.

If I were to get an su binary from somewhere (like, compile it myself),

and store it on the sd-card or in some download directory, would I

effectively have rooted my device?

Without having to load some unknown binary from some hackers somewhere

(like superSu) in order to do it?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That is not how root works, the su binaries have to be in the /system partition, placing su binaries in user partition does absolutely nothing. What's wrong with using SuperSU?

[General Questions and Answers] tmellman:
If it's provided by Google or from the android source tree, then I would feel secure in using it. Other than that, I avoid solutions where I have to take binaries from unverifiable sources.

And in general, everybody offers some (binary) tool to do your rooting for you, but - once the manufacturer lock is removed - I don't understand why linux isn't linux.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The developer that created the SuperSU app along with many other apps that you might be familiar with is called Chainfire and he's known worldwide, you might have heard of him.

Without him, alot of the custom software and a lot of the tools/apps we use to customize our devices wouldn't exist. He has been pretty much the most influential developer in the entire android rooting and customizing community. If that isn't verifiable enough for you then something is wrong with you. In fact, I'm pretty sure that you have or will require something he developed when you customize your device.

Everyone in this community uses at leat one of his apps.

Android operating system isn't linux, it's based on a Linux kernel but the operating system is very different. The linux kernel is about all that they have in common with a couple of exceptions.

Su binaries aren't something that would ever come from Google or android source tree. It will ALWAYS come from somewhere else other than Google or android source tree, even if you write the su binaries yourself, yours would be just as questionable because they also would not be coming from Google or android source. How would your own su binaries be any different than the ones that already exist?

I've already gotten this URL from Usenet:

As to running from /system, I've seen mention of this:

mount -o remount,rw /system

Now perhaps I understand what that's needed for.

I'm collecting the information bit-for-bit, but am not 100% sure I'll be able to run with my image and without third-party code...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you want root, it will be third party code, regardless of what method, software or tools you use. Root is not a stock android or Google product so third party is the only source.

If you're on lollipop, Marshmallow or nougat then pretty much your only option to root your device is to use one of the universal rooting apps and hope one of them works. Otherwise, you probably won't get root.

How does one go about extracting the CAB file from a desktop installation EXE file so I can have it with me when I want to Hard Reset ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] evalu8t0r:
When you run setup.exe a folder is created in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft ActiveSync\ with the cab's

If you unplug your device from ActiveSync, run setup.exe, click start - run and type %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft ActiveSync\ (and press return), locate the new folder, copy the cab file to somewhere else, delete the folder, connect the device to ActiveSync, copy the cab to your storage card and your all set :)

There is also a program called Universal Extractor that unpacks most stuff - Google it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] phsnake:
U can use universal extractor in some cases, or after runnig exe on PC files can be found smwhere in async directory, or it creates folder for itself in Program files (both on PC). Or after it starts installing, dont click anything ad search for *.cab. AFAIK it should work (expcept few apps)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vehf277:
I found in a post by Dan Rosenberg @ 5/23/2013 10:36:00 "Exploiting Samsung Galaxy S4 Secure BootAM" that "Both the AT&T (SGH-I337) and Verizon (SCH-I545) models utilize the Qualcomm APQ8064T chipset. As described in my previous blog post on Motorola's bootloader, Qualcomm leverages software-programmable fuses known as QFuses to implement a trusted boot sequence. In summary, each stage of the boot process cryptographically verifies the integrity of the subsequent stage, with the trust root originating in QFuse values. After the early boot stages bootstrap various hardware components, Samsung's APPSBL ("Application Secondary Bootloader") is loaded and run. This bootloader differs between "locked" and "unlocked" variants of the Galaxy S4 in its enforcement of signature checks on the boot and recovery partitions"

So If I understand right Galaxy S4 in general can have two original Samsung genuine bootloaders, "unlocked" and "locked". If there any theoretical way to flash to i337 original Samsung S4 "unlocked" bootloader, say from T-Mobile Galaxy S4 variant or any other which covers AT&T and T-Mobile networks and use SIM card?

And I suppose no limitation on method of this action - to flash T-Mobile variant genuime ROM instead of I337(if there is no hardware difference between i337 and T-Mobile Galaxy S4 variant or there is acceptable difference minimum), to flash T-Mobile Galaxy S4 variant bootloader, to flash factory T-Mobile Galaxy S4 variant bootstrap sequence, to unsolder - solder some chip(s) to get what we need, to make any action using qualcomm programming tools - so ANY way.

So imagine there is no limitation of the method and if so what is a detailed set of actions to get unlocked bootloader in i337?

Excuse me for maybe my newbie approach and maybe not enough good English:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Simple answer is no. The bootloader is signed per model with a private key from Samsung. They are checked for the correct signature when trying to flash the bootloader and again while trying to boot. There's a thread in the Verizon section detailing attempts and research for unlocking the bootloader here. As far as hardware modifications to unlock it, i know there was some people using jtag but you need to figure out the correct commands and all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vehf277:
1. I quoited a post by Dan Rosenberg @ 5/23/2013 10:36:00 "Exploiting Samsung Galaxy S4 Secure BootAM". It is the person who developed loki. So your answer is about locked bootloader. Thank you for reminding me a story about tries of unlock I337 bootloader.

I quote post by Dan Rosenberg: "After the early boot stages bootstrap various hardware components, Samsung's APPSBL ("Application Secondary Bootloader") is loaded and run. This bootloader differs between "locked" and "unlocked" variants of the Galaxy S4 in its enforcement of signature checks on the boot and recovery partitions"".

2. I asked in general - is there any way to unlock bootloader by any means - to exchange boot sequence using Samsung unlocked bootloader for example. Any is absolutely any, in software way or hardware way, using any tools - Odin or Qualcomm USB tools or JTAG flash tools - any.

And I apologize for my bad English:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Your English is fine. Either way, there is no publicly known way to unlock the bootloader using any software or hardware tools. Presumably Samsung has tools that would make it possible, but there's no legal way to get and release those.
