[Networking] gasman858:
At certain locations, my colleagues with iPhones on ATT's EDGE get a decent data connection while browsing & emailing while I get voice only - no data at all, even though both handsets show "E" with 4 bars. Elsewhere I am able to use the data connection as advertised.

The connection settings I have seen for iPhone EDGE use wap.cingular like MEdiaNet. I have tried everything I can think of - isp.cingular, 3G on/off, bandswitch, etc., to no avail.

I obviously don't understand the subtle differences between the iPhone & Tilt network connections, or the iPhone has much better reception (haven't seen one with a field test type prog), or I am not using the right network settings. ATT has provided the usual amount of insight and assistance on this issue.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Networking] gasman858:
thanks,

i have spoken to ATT, i have been told to re-register the handset by power off/pull battery/reboot - doesn't work. They have also said that iphone edge is different than tilt edge...huh?

anyway, i think it may be that iphone probably gets better fringe reception than my tilt. i have tried a couple different radios with no change..

the 3G is much better than his edge connection, just can't get it in my current location.

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] venomxob:
Hi guys. Does any of you know how to push su.d directory into su folder? I mean I need radio.sh script in su/su.d to get root call sms manager working. Every time I try it disappears after reboot.

Rooted rom 34.3.A.0.217 with TWRP.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] venomxob:
Anyone?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] mirfatif:
It's late though, but for the guidance of other noobs like me. /su/su.d/ can't be flashed in recovery because this isn't available. For system-less roots, binaries/libraries required to start supersu daemon and to manage root permissions, don't reside in /system/bin but in /data/su.img while (at least) two files reside in boot.img i.e. boot.img/ramdisk/init.supersu.rc and boot.img/ramdisk/sbin/.*daemonsu*.sh. When ROM boots, init.supersu.rc mounts /data/su.img on /su directory and calls /sbin/*daemonsu*.sh for initial setup which starts /su/bin/daemonsu and other se-linux related stuff and then executes any scripts found in /su/su.d/ and /system/su.d.

You can find this:

mido:/ # mount | grep loop
/dev/block/loop0 on /su type ext4 (rw,seclabel,noatime,data=ordered)

So, the init.d scripts placed in /su/su.d actually reside in /data/su.img which isn't mounted in recovery mode and anything flashed to /su/su.d goes to volatile rootfs which is gone on reboot. Either mount su.img in recovery, or place this script while ROM is running or instead flash to /system/su.d which is permanent filesystem unlike rootfs (which lives in RAM). And finally don't forget to set permissions to 0700 as advised here. Another thing, mostly init.d scripts don't work with .sh extension. Avoid this too.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Aneejian:
I can't answer all your questions here, however I can say with 100% confidence that you cannot root without unlocking bootloader. Some people claim of other methods, but keep away from them.

And there is nothing to be scared of when rooting OnePlus 3T if you follow the correct steps.

Are you sure that your daughter deleted those photos? How can she specifically delete photos taken in July? Do you have Google photos installed?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] lallissimo:
Thanks for your answer.

I'm not scared of rooting, as I have rooted other phones in the past. I'm ready to spend 1000USD and maybe even more to recover these media files and therefore I'm not really scared of rooting or bricking the device. What really scares me is that by

unlocking bootloader -> wiping -> rooting -> (new encryption of the filesystem ?)

I will render the deleted missing files completely unrecoverable. :(

I don't have google photos and I'm not 100% sure that my daughter has deleted the files. Maybe I've done a cut & paste which has not worked correctly on the phone as I've only 1 or 2 days of the beginning of July in my external hard drive. But it's more likely that my daughter has played with the gallery application on the phone.

I don't have a lock gesture or pin and my screen can be unlocked just by sliding, however it seems my phone is encrypted.

This encryption I don't know how it works and how it relates with the bootloader unlocking, if someone have more information I would be glad to hear.

And also I've done some more research and it seems impossible to perform a "dd" command of the partitions without first being superuser / root. ;-(

Regards,

Claudio

4) root it

5) Install diskdigger to check if he can find anything after the wipe

I feel huge pain, my wife is also kindly pushing me. ^^
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
The problem ought to be that since this phone is force encrypted per default, unlocking the bootloader will destroy the encryption key for the previous installation won't it? Isn't that they point as to avoid anyone accessing your data by simply doing a factory restore and still keep the data in the internal storage. At least that's what I though, else where's the security of someone steals your phone.

Without that, any recovery software will just see rubbish when trying to recovery anything since it's encrypted.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] lallissimo:
Thanks a lot, eventually some technical info on xda :)

If I lose my phone someone can use it and read everything because there is no lock, no pin, no gesture nothing. I would try a remote wipe via google android devices or something like that. Life is too short to unlock your phone every time you look at it even if it is via finger print! ;)

This being said I've read year

ht*ps://source.android.com/security/encryption/full-disk

this paragraph among the others is not clear to me

Upon first boot, the device creates a randomly generated 128-bit master key and then hashes it with a default password and stored salt. The default password is: "default_password" However, the resultant hash is also signed through a TEE (such as TrustZone), which uses a hash of the signature to encrypt the master key.

You can find the default password defined in the Android Open Source Project cryptfs.c file.

When the user sets the PIN/pass or password on the device, only the 128-bit key is re-encrypted and stored. (ie. user PIN/pass/pattern changes do NOT cause re-encryption of userdata.) Note that managed device may be subject to PIN, pattern, or password restrictions.

Does this paragraph give me hope or not?

Thanks a lot for your interest! Sleepless nights go on here.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
This is a really weak excuse. If the photos were that valuable to you, you should have been backing them up. There really is no excuse. Backup options are available that are effective, free, and require hardly any action on your part (aside form the initial setup - you've done more by disabling the default backup options).

Recovering deleted data is always a hit-or-miss proposition, at best. The longer you have the phone on, the higher the chance those memory sectors will be over-written. May have already happened.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

It doesn't matter. Unlocking the bootloader wipes all data on the phone by definition, regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. At least that is how it worked on previous Android devices I've owned, that did not have encryption by default. So I'd be willing to bet the same is try on the 3T.

I find it a little unlikely your daughter deleted all the photos. I don't see an easy way she could have done that to hundreds of photos, without an improbable number of screen taps. I'd use a good file explorer, and just keep digging. They might just be moved somewhere odd.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] lallissimo:
Thank you for the interest in my thread I really appreciate it.

I know a things or two about backups and I see your point. There is an ancient Chinese proverb saying something like this: Backup is that thing that should have done before. ;)

However, being on xda I'd like to keep the discussion on a technical level if possible.

If you have any information or links on the way the internal memory is managed at physical level I'd like to discuss about it. As far as I know in order to extend the duration of this solid state memories the system makes his best to write on the blocks the least possible. I don't think I have already overwritten all the blocks of the internal memory. We'll see. :)

I'm almost sure that the wiping does not scrape the memory with all 0 and 1. That would take really a lot of time and also that would reduce the duration of the memory.

Take a look here for example

h*tps://www.krollontrack.co.uk/blog//top-tips/what-you-need-to-know-about-androids-factory-reset-function/

so my real enemy here is encryption.

You could be right, still I need to be root to dig deeper.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
This is just wishful thinking. That article sounds really paranoid to me. Whatever method the system is using to "scramble" the data is going to put it out of the realm of the cheap, consumer data retrieval tools (as you've pretty much already experienced). The article states:

A recovery is possible by looking at the data structures from a low-level and using specialist tools to recreate the data into a useable format

We aren't talking about free or $5 Android apps here. We're probably talking about specialist software that costs thousands of dollars. Yes, technically data is almost always retrievable. Law enforcement has tools that can retrieve "ghost" data images even after being overwritten multiple times. But such tools are feasible for consumers from a cost/benefit standpoint.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] lallissimo:
If someone has more technical information about the encryption part I'll gladly look at it.

As far as wiping is concerned I have given a quick look at the source code, so for example here:

https://www.pentestpartners.com/sec...ta-from-wiped-android-devices-a-how-to-guide/

and if this is still what's inside my android phone I'm sure that mkfs.ext4 is nothing to fear when you need to recover data.

Problem for me is encryption, but yest I'm considering expensive solutions too. Just for the sake of the technical satisfaction, of course. ;)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonxlg:
So i'm really interested in upgrading to 7.1.2 so i can install new camera app so i can use ZSL

i've been holding off on upgrading past MM because i need my customization and control from xposed

there is an unofficial xposed, so that will help ease me over till the official gets released

my question is, what happens if i keep xposed and do the upgrade via flashfire

do i need to uninstall all my xposed modules then xposed before i upgrade?

my phone is rooted already, so i know that when i upgrade via flashfire, i will still be rooted

at the same time i want to try out magisk

if i do this, am i suppose to unroot, upgrade, then install magisk? or does it not matter

also, i will be obviously making a backup of my phone, so i should be completely safe to play around with everything right?

any advice welcomed
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonxlg:
update

well, i messed up

everything was working, but xposed didn't play nicely, so i attempted to restore my twrp backup and now it's failing

i used adb backup twrp command and saved it directly to my pc since my 16gb didn't have enough space

i checked off everything except for the last check box efs, this created a 10gb .ab file

when i tried to restore it, it restarts the phone during/after system and boots into the google blank screen with unlock icon

the closest thing i've googled so far is this: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/issues/133 which says it might have some issue because of the compression...

(note that i did not password protect the backup)

i'm wondering if this is the problem, can i uncompress the .ab file from my computer and manually install each of the components?

very tired and exhausted from this, hopefully someone has an idea of what i should do

OK so I banged my head against the wall for sometime trying to get my BOOST XT1526 to take some kind of a Marshmallow or Nougat ROM and still maintain LTE. I tried every which way I could on the Buzbee 6.0 Stock ROM including mfastboot the partition files with no success. On top of that, I am with Twigby, which has a different APN setting. Anyhow I headed over to team OCTOS website and downloaded the latest 7.1.2 weekly for Surnia, edited the active APN to n.si.ispsn restarted the phone and voila, LTE and a pretty slick Nougat running on my venerable XT1526.

1. unlock bootloader, flash twrp

2. install the SuperR Boost Surnia 5.1 zip files

3. boot up the phone and ##72786# to activate on Twigby

4. twrp wipe

5. install the Team OctOS XT1526 Weekly Nougat build + 7.1.2 ARM Gapps package

6. Reboot into Nougat. You should have 3g automatically.

7. Change active APN to n.si.ispsn, save it.

8. Restart the phone and enjoy your LTE on Twigby

7. Download SU Zip 2.82 and flash via twrp to root

8. Profit :good:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] haris163:
Like the title says, the H910 connects to any network when the selected/preferred network is not available or has low signal. It doesn't matter if you manually select a network, if the signal goes very low it will connect to some other network.

The result is that you see "bars" but is not connected to the intended network and you may not realize that you are out-of-service. With an AT&T simcard you cannot select a network but even when traveling with a foreign sim (where the network selection is available) is still doing that.

Also, when is connected to the other network, you don't see the network name and if you try to make a call you get the "emergency calls only" message.

Probably this is considered a safety feature. Is there a way to turn this behavior off? I want my phone to be out-of-service if there is no signal. Especially since the signal at my home is very marginal lately and I would like to know whether I have service or not (at the moment I assume that if I see more than 2 bars that I don't have service).

Hello,

So I have been doing research about fully switching (FIRMWARE) from Sprint to T-Mobile-

I came across a guide for the S8 so I was wondering if the same could be applied to the S6 to have a truly "switched" carrier phone?

If anyone has any other information please feel free to share/respond.

Thanks!

thanks to everyone here the best way was found to switch carriers thanks to mweinbach for your step by step tut works perfect now lets get root!!

Steps (Keep in mind this is posted for Galaxy S8 so have to change FIRMWARE etc.

How to change carrier:

1. Download Factory Binary, EngBoot, and the G950W firmware. (i dont think engboot is needed i did it without eng boot and works)

2. Turn off phone

3. Hold down on Bixby button + power + volume down

4. open Odin v3.12.7

5. add the Factory Binary to the AP section of Odin.

6. Plug your phone into your computer (NEEDS TO BE WINDOWS) with Odin open

7. Make sure your device is connected and recognized by Odin.

8. Click start.

9. One the phone reboots run the ADB command, adb reboot bootloader

10. Open modded Odin and flash the EngBoot

11. Click start

12. Once the phone reboots type the command adb reboot bootloader

13. Put the HOME_CSC of the G950W firmware into the CSC part of Odin (unmodded)

14. Click start

15. Open IME setting on Factory Binary

16. Type in *#243203855#

17. Select XAC

18. Click install

19. Wait for phone to reboot

20. Once it does open terminal and type in adb shell

21. Then type in echo "XXX" > /efs/imei/mps_code.dat

22. Type in exit into adb shell

23. Type in adb reboot bootloader

24. Flash the G950U firmware of your choosing without Userdata. Also make sure to flash the non-home CSC

25. Enjoy your new carrier!

CSC Values (replace on of these with the "XXX" in step 21):

BST Boost

VZW Verizon

ATT ATT

USC US Cellular

ACG C Spire

TMK MetroPCS

VMU Virgin Mobile

TFN Tracfone

XAS Sprint

TMB T-Mobile
