Need help with SuperSU method

Thanks a lot for the post. I was able to root with Kingroot successfully, however i am not able to consistently do it at each reboot. Kingroot keeps failing and also the problem with bloatware. So I would like to try the other method which MrMike has provided. However I am new to rooting and have a couple of questions:

1. What does the eng kernel file do? Where to find the boot.tar for g920v and how is it different from eng sboot (might be a very basic question

but couldn't find a detailed answer anywhere.

2. I have already flashed the sboot file as part of the earlier rooting process. in this case, what are the steps to follow: flash eng kernel, run removekingroot script, then run installroot script? I am guessing the installroot script will flash the sboot file again?

Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
yes as many said already, there is no permanent root for g920v by far. kingroot cannot maintain root after boot.

whats the problem with bloatware? i have uninstalled them all and disabled many apps, you can use service disabler and system uninstaller app to remove bloatware. (available at playstore)

with MrMike's method. you can keep the root after booting the device but you have to connect your device to computer and run script that allows phone to boot. thanks to him for providing another solution that does not require computer though. you may use terminal emulator app to get back root. i have tried both and it worked like charm. (i have queries over terminal app method which I've asked him. he may reply as soon as he gets time)

1. In layman's term its a tempered/ engineered boot image that allows to root our device.

Boot.tar thats included in mrmike's folder is an eng kernel and is only intended for g925v (s6edge). (read the instructions please)

else if you have g920V, all you need is eng sboot (attached in first post & also included in mrmike's folder) and move on with instructions.

2. if you have already flashed the sboot file, you may see yellow/green code lines above and unlocked icon when your phone restarts. let it boot. after that all you have to do is to run "installroot" and the script will done everything for you. The phone will restart and than you'll see blank screen. connect phone to computer if not already, and run "rootaboot" and phone will boot normally. update supersu and you're rooted.

if you're using mrmike's method, he suggests you to start fresh. means you should not install kingroot or start with freshly installed firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sechuru:
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I flashed OK7 again and eng sboot. I see the green code lines now. Now when i run installroot from the command prompt, the script exits with "I have no root permission. Please install the correct kernel first and try again". Not sure what is happening. Any advise is highly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naerhaella:
Hi guys! I've been looking for help in the site all day now and I've decided to ask for more specific help.

I have a Note5 SM-N920l, I bought it online, I believe it's Korean. It's factory unlocked or international, something like that. And was running the Android Nougat 7.

I successfully rooted it and also installed Magisk. It was working great but while trying to get Pokemon Go to work, another story, I tried switching different settings and I turned off the OEM unlock. From what I understand (I am a noob) that has to do with the FRP. I had turned it on to be able to flash stuff onto the phone and I turned it off again and I forgot to turn it on... and I turned off my phone.

I was stuck in the booting screen with the red letters on top that read "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". I tried booting into my custom recovery but FRP doesn't allow that. I can get into Download mode but when I try to flash things in ODIN the FRP block comes up and doesn't allow anything. (Tried to flash the firmware)

After trying to flash some things I am stuck with a blue screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." I downloaded said software and it can't find my S/N. So it has not helped me either. I also downloaded Kies but it is stuck in "Connecting".

I don't know what else to do. I don't mind losing all the data and personal files in my phone, I'd like to know if there is a way to factory reset it or wipe it or remove the FRP. I am desperate, this is my only phone and I really need it. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] coolio2654:
So I've been rooting me phone for a while and have managed to never f*** up, till now, and I sincerely hope you guys can help me.

After rooting my S7 a while back, I just recently noticed SuperUser telling me that I didn't have root anymore, so I decided to follow these instructions to re-root my phone:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

I successfully followed all the steps to get root, but when I opened Flashfire it told me I could install a new update while maintaining root, so since my android is at 6.0.1, I did that and it bricked my phone.

On boot it says "Startup Failed - Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant . . . " and on top it also says "Custom binary blocked by SECURE BOOT." I have tried going into recovery mode and deleting the system cache, but that doesn't do it. So is there any way to get the phone to properly boot while not deleting my data? I was rooting my phone precisely so I could use Titanium Backup again, so I don't have any backups stored anywhere. I have heard that flashing a recovery image with Odin can work, but would that delete my files? Someone please lend me your expertise.

My phone is a Verizon S7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] coolio2654:
Fixed

I am surprised that no one responded to me, but what's important is that, miraculously, I managed to un-brick the phone myself without losing any data! What I did was, as my last hope (since Odin wasn't able to flash the stock image, a la the traditional soft-brick fix), decide to follow the on-screen instructions my phone was giving me and to download and run something called the "Verizon Software Repair Assistant," which can be found in the top google results after searching for the quoted name (xda doesn't let me post the link).

After putting my phone into download mode, I plugged it in, ran the software and let it work overnight. Checking on it in the morning, I found my phone, not only completely functional and working, but updated to Android 7.0 (it was 6.0.1 previously before the failed Flashfire OTA update) and still holding all of my data intact. :svetius: :svetius:

So, the interesting thing that I learned is that flashing to stock via Odin to fix a soft-bricked phone should not be the default resolution for potentially most people, as the carrier's default (in my case, Verizon's) repair utility managed to completely fix my phone without any side effects or data loss.

Is there anyone who could chime in on why the Repair Utility did not wipe my phone's memory, even though it warned it would?

**Note**

Verizon links to the Windows version of the repair assistant on their site, but to get the Mac version (which I used), the only way you can get it is by changing the end of the url they mention within the thread from "Win" to "Mac."

Pleased you managed to fix it, and thanks for posting the method for others

As for replies, if you stick around XDA you'll see replies can take days sometimes, patience is the key here :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] coolio2654:
I guess I am not acquainted with this forum enough then, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
Most likely the cause of the fault would be updating via FlashFire and keeping root. When the update was flashed, it most likely flashed the stock kernel and patched it for root, which is not a compatible root for our devices. Flashing the root kernel with Odin probably would have made the phone boot normally.

Hi

I am having an issue with mobile data being turned off during a call. I have a dual SIM S8+, when I call on sim 1 the data on sim 2 turns off.

I have it set up that sim 1 is calls and texts and sim 2 is mobile data.

Any ideas how to fix this

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] EMF:
S8 is dual sim dual standby and not dual sim full active, so when one sim is active on a call the other will be deactivacted and cannot receive calls or used for data at the same time. It is not an error and it cannot be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ssadtru:
Thank you for that. If I just use one sim on the phone. Then will I have data active while calling?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] EMF:
If you have data set to sim 1 you will have data during a call on sim 1, but not while on a call on sim 2, and vice versa.

If you only have one sim in the phone, you will always use the same sim for data and calls, so you will not luse data.

Thanx a lot europeen for your question, indeed, it was one of my querries, but i have discarded it in my threat trying not to post a lot of questions in one thread.

Today while I am revising new posts about wm6.1 in Univeral forum, i found that the new Darkforce ROM contains the snapVUE application, and I found someone has written that it shows your PIM data without opening applications and it is compatible with Visa, so I thought that it is pertaining by anyway to the windows side show!

If it hadn't dented your screen would be shattered. That's why phone manufacturers user aluminum for chassis which is soft. Helps absorb impacts and saves screens.

The info you posted is pretty much useless apart from this:

Software status=Modified

Locked

S-ON

You choices are, boot to download mode, make sure HTC drivers are installed etc and the do fastboot getvar all, what you are looking for is the firmware / OS version somthing like 4.28.401.3 etc etc, then find the correct RUU for the device and flash it, or you can try and unlock the bootloader via HTC's website for unlocking the bootloader, then it may very well boot, or you'll have to flash some kind of rom to it.

Basically at the moment you are s-on with a locked bootloader and modified software, thats why it wont boot.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkywtf:
Hi sorry for the useless info, but i can't boot to download mode says this is for developers only. so can't unlock bootloader with s-on and can't get s-off without download mode. so yeah quite stumped

Reports indicate cases for the OnePlus 5 fit the Oppo R11 "like a glove." I suspect the Oppo R11 cases will fit the OP5, as long as they don't interfere with the silent switch.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] xXSnowyXx:
Late post but yeah, kind of. The power button is slightly higher on the 5 which can cause issues depending on the design and the notification LED is little more to the left which can mean it's covered a bit if the case has a built-in screen protector. The rear has both a microphone hole between the flash and cameras so the flash is slightly furthur over so may be partically covered. Obviously the alert slider will be covered by any R11 cases but I don't use it anyway. It barely protrudes so shouldn't prevent any case from actually fitting.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] batwingnz:
I used one for a few days, covered the notification slider but I don't use that anyway. All else was good. Helped while I had to order a OP5 case in anyway.
[Fire TV General] krsmit0:
Wasn't sure if this has been posted before. Wanted to share.

Connect with adb and run...

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.kso.blackbird
reboot

I'm not sure if the -k or --user 0 are necessary but its the same used on the kindle fire

I haven't tested but only way believed to return it is factory reset.
[Fire TV General] nyln:
shell@tank:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.kso.blackbird

Success

shell@tank:/ $ reboot

It seems to work, thanks!
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Somebody sticky this.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
So no ROOT needed (no # in the instructions) ? What would be the input to reverse this? It's always good to have the antidote, just in case.
[Fire TV General] krsmit0:
Correct, no root. And without trying it, the only way to return it is a factory reset or a OTA update.
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Well, if you're rooted, you could flash the same firmware again, I assume.

If you have root, couldn't you do:

pm disable com.amazon.kso.blackbird

instead?
[Fire TV General] krsmit0:
I don't have root.

This doesn't remove anything from system, so reflashing the firmware is overkill to return this. Just a factory reset should return it although I'm not sure why you would return ads to the stock launcher.
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Someone who does should attempt that instead. I have root, but I already did the uninstall command.

EDIT: I had a FireTV that I hadn't upgraded to the latest rbox firmware. I upgraded it and ran "pm disable com.amazon.kso.blackbird" as root and rebooted. The ads are gone.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Cool. Should be great for my friends on non-Rooted FTVS1-2.

Guessing it should also work on Rooted devices with TWRP. We can just do a Factory Reset in TWRP to get back to normal if needed. Or maybe backup the APK & reinstall it. Maybe you can look at the code needed to reinstall it with the right rights. The APK reinstall could be an option for those on non-Rooted devices that don't which to Factory Reset.

Since Rooted devices have the option to disable & enable then they don't need that option.

I wonder if like with the Method 2 Update Blocking for Non-Rooted devices we can do this for non-Rooted devices:

[STRIKE]pm hide com.amazon.kso.blackbird[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]pm unhide com.amazon.kso.blackbird[/STRIKE]

Will test it shortly...

UPDATE: The HIDE command did not work. It did not hide the ad before or after restarting the device. Maybe it's missing something. Not sure. Luckily I a am rooted.

Thanks for the confirmation. Will test this Method 1 Update Blocking for Rooted devices too in a minute.

All my testing will be on one the same rooted device but with different ADB Shell $ & # options. $ for non-Rooted & # for Rooted.
[Fire TV General] krsmit0:
On the kindle fire, we found no way to return it without a factory reset. i have used this to remove com.amazon.device.software.ota com.amazon.device.software.ota.override, it wont allow me to check if there is a system update any longer. not sure of long term function. Amazon disabled hide at some point on its devices so it wont work on an unrooted device. This has led me to wonder what com.amazon.videoads is and whats its effect if its removed/uninstalled.
