Hi, this is not exactly question, so I post into discussion, I want just your opinion... or if somenthing like this happened to you:

It started by simple restarting, or random vibrating from time to time. I just thought its some ROM related bug becouse I didnt update it for about 2 months, maybe something got messy. But I had some work to do and told myself it can wait few days. Then some strange freezes occured with vertical or horizontal strips made of small colourful dots. Only hard reset holding all buttons helped. Freezes, restarts etc. then continued quite frequently. This was time for clean rom installation. I went to TWRP, wiped everything except external SD. Done. I was going to hit install in twrp when freeze occured last time and after long continuous vibration it was gone. Now it does not react toabsolutely anything, holding all buttons - nothing. Connecting to charger - nothing, no icon, no charging indicator. Connecting to PC - nothing, it dont even notice connection of new hardware, Odin also sees nothing... It seem to be as dead as possible.

But this situation seems very good to me after all, becouse phone was rooted, knox tripped. They would never repair it for free if it was freezing, restarting or bugging screen becouse my warranty was gone by rooting long time ago... But now they will have hard time to get into Download mode or connect it to anything to see my voided warranty, or fact there is no ROM at all becouse it got broken right after last TWRP wipe. I might be able to come out of this with new S8 for 100€ (price difference between S7 edge and classic S8 in shop where I bought it).

What do you think? Will they tear it apart and find out about knox etc., or they will not go so deep when its completly dead and there are no physical marks of even using that phone? Have no idea how deep is their analysis and if they will try to change motherboard or just trash it giving me new one or money...

Any experiences with samsung repair service?

PS: sry for my grammar, had only 4 years of english classes at high school, not using it until then (only in forums like this)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] f1n41_3ch0_4ctu41:
Usually the guys at service station don't bother to go in download mode to check the tripped know it depends on countries to countries in most of the countries people got their phone repaired even though there phone was knox tripped and rooted

I hope they fix your phone for free as the service guys are lazy they'll probably tell that your SOC is fried and would recommend changing the SOC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] *Telcontar*:
thx for reply... true, they dont bother in my country very much at service :D ... they already changed my camera lens becouse left corner was always blury and no problem with knox tripped, but it was clearly HW problem on their side which appeared even on first photo, I just didnt notice it and rooted it first week of S7 launch... this also was not caused by root, but if they somehow find out they could use it as excuse, so i hope they will not try hard with software examination when its HW problem again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] goaway1234:
Just want to add to the list.My previous device (xperia z2 which goes to the same service center here in Bosnia) ,they never searched if i had custom rom installed.They just fixed it by changing motherboard.Please let us all know what will happen when you return your device to them.I think there is no way they can find out what you did to that device or if it is knox tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] *Telcontar*:
Ok, I will report results here. It should be fixed in two weeks, max one month (or not if they find out about root, but I also think they will not)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] *Telcontar*:
Got my repaired phone back. With new motherboard and 0x0 original knox etc. Old motherboard was compleatly dead with all root info with it... Everything works now
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Cacciu:
Hi guys

I am pretty new to android, but i know a lot about pc's.

I have a OP5 and rooted it, but then i had an issue with SuperSU and uninstalled it. What i did not think, is that if i reinstall it, it has no root access, because i can not grant it.

So i tried reinstalling it with TWRP, but it did not get root access.

Does anyone know how to give it root again/reinstall it with root?

(i could reflash the os and reinstall superSU, but i dont want to set uo the phone again)

Also does anyone know the progress on nethunter for OP5?

Thanks and yours

cacciu
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] hachamacha:
It's been awhile since I used SuperSU so I might be fuzzy: SuperSU has two components, 1) the .zip portion installed from TWRP and 2) the APK. The zip is like "the framework/service/su" part and the APK is the app that just tracks and loads the DB with which apps or services have been granted SU access.

My question is "Which of these did you uninstall?" : OR: Did you uninstall both? Maybe only uninstalling one or the other causes an 'out of sync' condition.

Anyway: This version of SuperSU https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 discussed in that thread has the APK in the .zip file. By definition all TWRP recoveries are rooted and can do what they want to like installing SuperSU.

What happens after you boot seems more likely to be about left-over crud from the APK / DB component, (and I'm guessing here), so if the SuperSU APK is still there, I'd clear it's data entirely, perhaps get rid of it entirely if you can and reinstall the .zip that contains all parts of SuperSU (maybe they all do now) from that link ^^. Make sure that link I gave is the one you want (systemless, etc).

TWRP should've done the heavy lifting during SuperSU install since it's already rooted. If it didn't, then keep the log from TWRP and look over it's install steps during the SuperSU install. Post it here maybe.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Cacciu:
Thanks for the answer.

I uninstalled the apk.

I already tried to install the apk directly and also installing it from the zip, and there was either a message like "no root detected" or " root is corrupted".

I also deleted the su folder, uninstalled the apk and reinstalled the zip. But it was always the same: the apk did either say it's not rooted or did not install/show in the apps.

Probably i have to unroot and root it, or do you have any other idea?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Cacciu:
TWRP Terminal

I found out, that there is a terminal with root access on twrp. So i searched for eu.chainfire.supersu with the find comman and use chown root:root to give each directory root access. But it still did not recognize the root. So i thought about the db you said and maybe it doesnt recognize the db.

So i tried the same with dsploit as it doesnt run without root, but it's the same.

I will try to delete all the supersu directories as well as any su directory and reinstall the zip. Or if there is an apt-get, i will try it to install it by terminal
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] hachamacha:
You might be out of luck if you deleted the su directory or any other related to binary su code. I'm not sure why you couldn't do a reinstall of the original SuperSU .zip file. You've got that whole 'catch-22' thing going right now.

The only thing I'm wondering about is whether a certain amount of cleanup has to take place before you can just roll SuperSU*.zip over an old mangled version and get it to work. Do you get errors in TWRP when trying to reinstall the entire package?

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

I downloaded this version of SuperSU (which may or may not be what you used, but you of course want the one you used): http://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip

Then I unzipped it and the installer script for not only the binary parts but the apk is here .\SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-binary. (updater-script is a dummy). It's kind of old school and is very easy to understand (the shell script that installs it).

All the files that it pushes onto the SD are easy to find and use, although you have to keep SELinux settings in mind.

It's worth taking a look at if you want to try to rebuild the wrecked version or if you want to just reapply the zip and have a better understanding of any errors it spits out.

Good luck.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] minimalhype:
The comparisons between Honor 8 Pro and OP5 are going overboard but I am still left with some serious questions:

1. Has anyone's Honor 8 Pro survived drops? The Gorrila Glass 3 doesn't convince me 100%.

2. The OP5 seems to be resistant to water droplets/mild water contact. Does the Honor 8 Pro survive the same?

3. The most important question though is how serious and common is the heating issue? Some are okay with it, some say its dangerous. Can someone explain how badly it heats when using the camera and playing games?

I am in love with the Honor 8 Pro. If the above worries dont turn out to be very serious, I will be glad to be a part of this forum :)

Help me guys!
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Regarding the first 2, I don't think anyone will do it on purpose for test. Device screen getting shattered on drop is pure luck. Well, gorilla glass 3 is more scratch resistant than shatter resistant. Gorilla glass 5 is more shatter resistant than scratch resistant. ?

The phone does warm up a bit upto 43 degree Celsius according to reviews. It's upto you whether you find that comfortable or not.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] mydragoon:
I'm a casual games but do occasionally try stuff like screen recording while gaming, etc..

taken a few photos..

in both cases, the heat isn't enough to make me feel uncomfortable.

I guess heat on"metal" phone is perhaps a good thing as it means heat is being dissipated via back case.. no?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] aKp1:
1) I have survived a drop. I am not used to such smooth back finish and I was casual on taking it out of my pocket and it slipped on solid floor and not even a scratch, neither on the back or the glass. Phewww! Escaped!

2) We are having monsoon here and now n then it has again survived the drizzle and wet pockets.

3) The heating issue is quite normal. After almost 2 weeks, according to my use, it seems now there is not much noticeable heating. On the first few days, I was crazy on VR, streaming in FHD and 2k, games and stuff. Now on occasional gaming and regular stuff, the things are much cooler.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] minimalhype:
Of course, its a good sign to know that heat is being let out but there must be a limit to it right :p Anyways, seems like the heating isnt worrying:)
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] minimalhype:
Thank you for a detailed answer, I am relieved that the heating problem has subsided but can you please tell what's the case while recording videos?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] aKp1:
Not the right person to answer since I don't record a lot of videos! The videos that I have recorded till now are not more than 10 mins and while recording those, it warmed a little and definitely not uncomfortable! And yes the camera app never crashed or stopped working neither there was any lagginess or slow down later on!
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] MrHuman:
Isn't Gorilla glas 3 and 5 equally resistant, just that the gorilla glas 5 does have some extra "stuff" (can't bother to Google it)? And the 5 lacks oleophobic coating which means it doesn't resist crease as well, at least that was the case with the P10 Plus in EU.

The heating hasn't been an issue for me at all, though the hottest it's been around here is about 24C. Mostly do gaming when I notice the phone getting warmer.

I can also confirm that the phone stays on in minus Celsius degrees and let's you take photo without a problem, if it helps :P
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] minimalhype:
For the phone to stay in minus celsius temperatures, I am assuming you are living somewhere high up longitude or altitude wise. Anyways, thanks for your valuable input :)
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] MrHuman:
You assume (longitude) correctly ;)

I flashed the zv6 tot and kept getting an error but like said i was passing the antirollback. I think lgup doesnt like the zv6 tot. But 5 times i wiped the partitions as long as i didnt reboot and directly reflashed zv8 in the same session i was good.

And it hung the last time and i nudged my crappy usb cable like a idiot i rebooted

I am in 9008. No worries. I got my old s5 up and runnin. I think of i can fmake a debrick img just like other lgs i can boot from sd card. I put g5 in the drawer for a few days to think about it.

The screen shoulda never been black. Shoulda been dl mode the whole time. Plug into pc and look in devoce manager and see if its the qloader9008.

Also if it made it to 100% there shouldnt have been no issues. As the fone usually reboots when pc shows around 80 to 85% try looking to see if u can boot recovery fac reset or dl mode any more....
