Yeah, went to backup some system Apps & did find two of them kind of interesting. I am wondering what they would do if disabled.

com.amazon.videoads.app (Could be ads when playing free vids &/or on Prime , not sure)

Tried the following commands. Could not see any difference in UI layout:

pm disable com.amazon.videoads.app

pm enable com.amazon.videoads.app

So left it enabled.

Local Recommendation Service (Not sure if it is related to the recommendations on the big banner below the ad banner we just disabled but it probably has to do with the recommendations from other app like Netflix, etc)

Not sure I want to mess with this one...

Backup a few other System apps in ES File Explorer without any Root privileges. And all also included a .systag file too.
[Fire TV General] john321321:
hi,

tried this .. pm disable com.amazon.kso.blackbird

removed the banner ad ok.

but when you try .. pm enable com.amazon.kso.blackbird

banner ad does not return ?
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Did you reboot? I don't know if it matters since I never tried enabling.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
From what I remember, enable did work for me. Make sure you are at # & reboot/restart your device. The banner will be back.

I think it does matter for it to show again.

Is there a way to remove the new "sponsored" bar in the latest update? It crashes the UI if you scroll over it with the ads disabled/uninstalled
[Fire TV General] unfrozencaveman:
I'm experiencing this too, I tried to uninstall again in case the update added back but it was not there to uninstall. The plus is the sponsored bar is now at the bottom and isn't in my way.

So I decided to run one of the new roms (nuRom v2.0) with the base of the leaked ROM that came out last week. Everything is running good except I can't visit certain sites. For example, I want to download opera mimi but when I direct ie to operamini.com and the page never loads. I tried changing my dns # with open dns but that did not help. Anyone have any ideas?
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] squid2:
This is my version of TWRP built for the Qualcomm based 2017 Moto E4. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.

Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:

My original green theme

No SuperSU

No TWRP app

No HTC Dumlock cruft

Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)

To temporarily boot this recovery:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The download is available on the downloads tab.

[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] squid2:
First build released (3.1.1-r1)

I've made a TWRP build using a prebuilt kernel. It's new and not very well tested at the moment. Data encryption support might be broken at the moment, I haven't tested adequately.

Important - Please Read:

This device has dm-verity enabled in the kernel. If you mount system as writable, it will refuse to boot. Do not mount system as writable unless you plan to root your device in a manner that disables dm-verity! You can reformat your data partition as unencrypted with this if you'd like to simplify access for now. You can alternatively access data from an SD card.

I plan to make a better build later once I have kernel sources (and more time). Be aware that the stock kernel probably lacks the f2fs patches necessary to make SuperSU work correctly.

Also, please ignore the duplicate thread I made when trying to troubleshoot a problem with the DevDB download system. I've asked a moderator to delete the duplicate thread.

look at the error what it says, unsigned image file. do not root your device when you boot into twrp not actually flashed it completely in recovery partition. first flash recovery than root your device.
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] amarc78:
I get that same error when flashing twrp also. With or without having it rooted first. It flashes fine for me though
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] HKSpeed:
I guess I successfully flashed TWRP. ADB is acting weird on my computer after I installed LG drivers to unlock my LG G5 bootloader. ABD doesn't recognize my E4 in bootloader mode, but ADB recognizes the E4 when the system/OS is running. So I ADB flashed TWRP (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) with the E4 on the Android homescreen.

I'm able to boot into TWRP by 2 methods:

use a reboot app (reboot: system, recovery, bootloader, download, etc)

start bootloader (Power + Vol Down buttons), then select Recovery Mode

Is that how it should be?

Is it important to set my system as r/w? How do I know if my system is set to r/w? I'm not familiar with the important of having TWRP read-only or r/w. On my other devices I just install TWRP and never mess with those settings. Will this affect my ability to backup, restore, and flash ZIPs? [MENTION=4117181]KyleBryant[/MENTION] 's thread instructs:
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] amarc78:
You should set it to r/w to make sure what you flash actually flashes right and makes all the expected changes. When you first installed twrp and booted to it the first time, it should have asked you to choose to keep it read only or mount r/w. If you didn't it should be read only still. Click on mount and you'll see a check box to mount system. If it says mount system partition read-only it is already mounted r/w.

[GUIDE] How to make your "bricked" device show up as Qualcomm 9008 instead of 900E

Now, some people who have tried the official recovery tool have experienced that the MsmDownloadTool didn't work for them, because their device actually didn't show up as a Qualcomm 9008, but rather a 900E.

To fix this, instead of holding power button for 20 seconds, and holding the volume up for 10 seconds and then connecting, do this:

1. Hold down power button for 20+ seconds like you're used to.

2. Connect the phone to your PC

3. When connected, press and hold volume up, volume down, and power button at the same time

4. The device will after some time show up as 9008 in Windows device manager (To know when to stop holding the buttons, look at device manager while holding them down)

I hope I helped some of you that think your device is completely broken :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apowers98:
Since I can find no support for these phones anywhere on the internet, I am creating this thread here in hopes of answering any questions anyone might have on this phone to the best of my abilities.

Important: These phones show fake RAM, Storage, Signal, and CPU. To reset this, use either ADB or Terminal Emulator, go into a shell and use the following command "am start -n com.android.ext.instruction/com.android.ext.instruction.DefaultValueActivity" without quotes. It will open the hidden settings. Note: Phone will require reboot, and will look like factory reset, however, all your data is still there.

All in all, it's not a bad starter phone. For someone who is just getting into smartphones, or coming from an earlier gen phone, it is perfect.

If you are looking at buying one of these phones, please read this thread first, it will provide some helpful insight to some of the issues you might have with these phones.

If you are buying one of these phones in hopes of rooting it, or a custom ROM, I would suggest not to buy it. I have not been able to successfully root it myself, and there's nobody else who has posted anything, anywhere about it.

Problems

Fingerprint Sensor - It will appear to work, but any finger can unlock it, no way to fix this, as the hardware is fake.

Heart Rate Monitor - Fake as well.

Bixby Button - Bixby does not come on this phone, just a knock off. The button works, bringing you to "Briefing" which just has a few shortcuts to other apps.

"Curved" screen - The screen is curved as you'd expect if you've had or seen an S7 Edge or S8. The glass is simply curved on the edges, giving it a curved look. However, what it does have is a pretty nice edge slide out feature as the S8 has.

Specifications (real)

MTK6592 1.7 Ghz Octa-Core CPU

1 GB RAM

5.6" or 5.8" Screen Size

8.0 Megapixel Rear Camera

A few have complained about slow boot times for any clone phone, however, I do not notice much difference in the time this takes to boot and my old S7 Edge.

I will update this with important information as I see fit.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chroni100:
I tried KingRoot and it didn't work for my goophone s8. Maybe they will find a root solution though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
How many times did you try KingRoot? Sometimes you have to try more than once.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chroni100:
I tried several times. At first it ran through several root strategies, but now when I try it says no root available, root requested.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
If that's not working, download KingoRoot and run it once. It'll reboot the phone during the process, and the root won't go through, but after running KingoRoot with no success, go back into KingRoot, and try to root the phone one more time. If it still won't work, then I'm not sure what else to suggest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chroni100:
Nope didn't work. Thanks for the help though. Maybe king root will find the root eventually. I'll keep trying.

I can only run kingoroot once? Would it have told me whether it worked or not or just reboot?

Thanks,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
You can run KingoRoot as many times as you want, but it doesn't ever work, at least in my case. All it ever does is reboot the phone, and afterwards, you'll still have no root.
