October updates...time to revisit. So it seems that TWRP is now suitable to replace stock recovery. Bravo! And Magisk is good also. How quickly things change.

Last month I did full factory image, su and suhide. Think I'll switch back to Magisk now. Any pros/cons between the two.

1. In new guide for Magisk it has busy box installed. Is that required? Why? Never really understood why I need it.

2. Can't remember last month when I booted mod TWRP.img to flash su and suhide....but I probably swiped to allow system modifications, so I think I won't be able to setup Magisk and retain OTA capability. So should I do the flash-all (no wipe) to get the system partition back to clean? Or can I fastboot flash system.img? Both slots?

Thanks!

It is supposed to be encrypted. Try searching 'Google' :eek:

I just come from Nexus 6P where the data partition is not encrypted after root. Now I can not see the data partition from PC so that I can not copy files from PC to the phone. Is it right? Thanks again for the help!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Homeboy76:
In new guide for Magisk it has busy box installed. Is that required?

I don't think it is required. It is in the instructions for those that want it. If you do not want it skip #9 - Root with Magisk - Pass SafetyNet: b. BusyBox and r. BusyBox - 4. Make sure Busybox for Android NDK is Uncheck

Do you have Android 8 on your Pixel/Pixel XL?

Number 7, 8, and 9 all start with Important: Set Pin before installing TWRP: Setting > Security > Pin.

Did you set the Pin before installing TWRP?

Does TWRP request a Pin?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] VanGolfer:
Yes, its android O and I did set PIN before root. If it's suppose encrypted so that's fine and I success on root. Just can't connect to PC as before.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gbeardmore:
If I just want a custom recovery (TWRP) and then I want to root with SuperSU, but I have no desire to EVER use a lock screen or PIN, do I still need to set a PIN before installing TWRP? Or does your warning only apply if you want the phone to be encrypted?

What step(s) # did you follow on this guide?

Good Question, my instructions are for encrypted devices.

Have you rooted your Pixel/Pixel XL with TWRP 3.1.1-0 and SuperSU v2.82 SRx without a pin?

If yes, would you share how you did it?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] NickPDX:
So I had followed the step by step instructions of how to get the shadow to work with t-zones through proxy and it worked pretty well. Today I decided to go ahead and sign up for the "total internet plan". I wanted to be able to use my POP mail correctly and use MSN Live messenger too. I also have read all over the place that using the proxy with t-zones is slower.

Anyway ... the reason for me writing this is because I was wondering what the easiest way for me to make sure that I am not using the t-zones proxy for the connections. I basically have to go in and "undo" all of the changes that I made to get the proxy to work right? I'm guessing that I am answering my own question but I was just wondering if there was any other ideas or ways to get the same goal. I'd love to just do that mythical ROM update t-mobile has mentioned and start from scratch that way. I don't see that happening soon enough though. :-)

Thanks for any and all help and here's hoping for a shadow specific section on this great site some day!

Hi There,

I am confused, reading these guides. I just bought a refurbished G900V that has cid 15 and

Android 6.0.1 Security Patch Level March 1, 2017

G900VVRU2DQC2

I want to root/unlock and install LineageOS 7 Nougat

The guides I read all refer to phones running Andorid 5 or 4 so I dont know what is my first step?

Can anyone provide a link to a tutorial that is about phone that already has 6.0.1? I did not OTA myself, this is how the phone arrived to me.

The third post.

Once you flash EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QB2_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_A IO.zip in p.13 you'll have TWRP and MM firmware.

Everything you need to flash LOS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fc3211:
Thanks. I tried it but after installing that first file with Odin the phone never rebooted or gave me any message. And after that it got stuck at the Verizon splash screen. And I tried doing a factory restore on the stock recovery or whatever the hell its called when you volume down + home + power

But even after that the phone is bricked and stuck on the Verizon splash screen. Oh well, I'm just going to RMA it.

Ive rooted alot of phones on xda but this one failed MISERABLY. Thank God I can still get my money back.

Never should have bought this Verizon branded phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GregTakats:
I don't have the rights to post on the developers forum, that's why I ask here.

Sorry if my research is somewhat limited. I'm new to Android development, have a deadline soon, and I don't feel I'm quite close to getting it right.

I'd like to make a very simple app where you can browse a few predefined images fullscreen. I tried the following tutorial: "Using ViewPager for Screen Slides" by android developers site (link had to be removed per website policy).

Android is a bit complicated to me with the .xml files for resources etc. I thought XML was just to define the individual resources, but I realized they also act similarly to HTML pages when I want to create a view. I managed to display one image by replacing the second TextView "textView" by my ImageView in activity_screen_slide.xml.

But the problem is that it now it displays the same image with each page. How can I set a different one for each page? I tried to add multiple LinearLayouts with different images, but the app crashed.

I also tried using xliff:g to have a different image name on each view, like image1.png, image2.png etc, but it seems it's not supported to use it inside resource file names.

Of course I could make arbitrary number of copies of the view, and set a different image in each one, but I'm sure there is a better and way.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fftorettol:
Early today, I downloaded the latest developer preview for Nexus 6P, flashed each command separately and I had an infinitive boot. It's wasn't a boot-loop, but the boot animation kept going... I left my phone for about 20min, if phone somehow starts up, nothing happened (it was still showing boot animation). After that, I decided to flash 7.1.2 on my phone and update it to Android 8.0 via OTA update (i would enroll in beta). But now, my phone starts by showing a stock recovery screen for about 1 second, and then dissapear... after 5 seconds recovery screen shows up again. I cannot boot it. What should I do guys?

Hello,

I have this cheap Homtom HT20 Android phone that started manifesting the 3G internet issue soon after I have bought it. I can do messages and calls ok on 3G, just not internet. It works for web browsing and few other things but as soon as it does a few MiB's of traffic at once it starts going unresponsive. All fine on 4G or Wifi. Tried swapping the SIM card slot (it is dual SIM, seems to start working when I put the SIM card into SIM slot #2, but only for a few hours). Tried upgrading ROM, still the same. Is there anything I could do before I get to the GSM service ? I do not care about any warranty, I am not sending this thing back and froth to and from China.

Thanks!

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzanoni:
Hello,

I've a µsd card (Samsung Evo 128GB, formatted as adapted storage+external SD).

On my pyrotab running MM6, it randomly unmounts the external SD (transport endpoint is not connected in the log).

Pretty annoying. For a few weeks the problem was less frequent (usually on the second reboot the sdcard is ok), but now, the card disappears after a few minutes, not enough time to perform a Titanium backup :/

Anyone else experiences this ?

Any hint ?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Adapted storage. That is never a good idea for multiple reasons. Once the SD chip corrupts all your data is lost. Moreover, it can slowdown performance.

You could try to clone the SD card on a PC, I'd say. If it works, backup all your data and forget about adapted storage.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzanoni:
Yes, that was my idea and use Link2SD/Apps2SD to move app and data to external storage.

But any hint on the SD unmounting issue ? I fear I'll have the same problem, as it's the FAT partition that gets unmounted, not the adapted one.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Multiple partitions on one SD card? Or two SD cards? If so, via otg?

In general, you cannot remove the adapted storage SD card! It will compromise the system.

READ THE COMMENTS OR POST AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP

So, i tried to use this method: https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/managed-to-relock-bootloader-t3660282 to relock my bootloader. Had the rom 29a installed, so I tried to use the command line. The lock was successful. When I did the reboot a red message shows up: "Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and may not work properly". When I try to boot into recovery or download mode this message shows up anyway. I guess there is nothing I can do right?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem was:

Re-locked bootloader

No download mode access

No recovery access

No system

OEM toggled off

Solutions tried:

SDCard method

fastboot erase/format/flash

Since the bootloader got relocked none of the options above worked. However, I found a solution, thanks to [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] using the Qdloader 9008 to unbrick the phone. This was the only method that worked.

ok i see 3 options:

1. the sdcard method (yes i know u tried it already - pls read nevertheless):

you need a SD card with a rating of 95mbs transfer or higher (e.g. class 10 + >U3<--- )!

Even the really good cards that rate 85mbs 90mbs transfer rates don't work.

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Delkin-32GB-...s&keywords=UHS-II+/+V90+/+U3+/+Class+10&psc=1

still no guarantees for nothing here. I tried the same a while ago without success..

2. send it to repair and refer to the bootloop issue (ik thats not the truth but it may work in your case nevertheless)

3. bring your device in EDL 9008 mode (you need to loose all screws at the back and shorten 2 pins) and I can try to repair it over a remote session (no guarantees for nothing again)
