Yes, I thought so. Hmm, is there any way for me to restore factory system image withouth a USB cable? Im waiting for a new one, the old one stopped responding :/ Or is there a way to flash the OTA withouth a USB cable?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] airtower:
download the full factory image and flash with flashfire. You can select system image only, but I don't know what that will do with your data. Should be ok, but i would backup to be safe.

edit - that will get you on the current security patch, but I don't think it will allow you to flash future updates via OTA. If you want that you will definitely need to wipe and flash via fastboot the entire factory image, then never touch your system image.

I suspect someone put something on my phone to track my location, listen to my phone calls, see my texts, and aquire Bluetooth connections.

how and what do I need to do to look for remote use

Can I copy an image on to my windows 10 or Linux machine and look for malicious intent?

Finally, how to completely wipe the whole SM-930v(qualcom) 6.0 and flash firmware to 930F for us cellular ?

Totally do not know what to do, total noob

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
The 930F firmware will fail on a 930V as the 930F is Exynos - so I wouldn't recommend it.

If you boot into download mode (vol down + power + home) there should be an option for a factory wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] reahcat:
Factory

I did a factory wipe and my problems continued. the phone is a Verizon phone with us cellular sim card. After restarting the phone has a hard time finding voice service, but data is no problem. My guess is the order things start on the phone makes it look for the programmed Verizon frequency and not the frequency the sim tells it to look for.

Maybe a custom ROM? How would I extract the boot kernel to see what processes it is going through?

I purchased the phone online. The build number looks strange to me: BUILD/Baseband MMB29M / G930VXXU1BPIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Custom ROM's isn't an option since its a US model. Bootloader is locked down. You shouldn't be able to get into the kernal either for the same reason. Good news is so should no one else.

A lot of online retailers sell fake phones and try make them appear to be 930V's or 930F's. In download mode it should have the model information, what does it say there? Anywhere outside of download mode can be faked so shouldn't be trusted.

If it is a real 930V you can find the right firmware files for your carrier at a place like sammobile.com and flash via Odin https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Vol down + home + power should boot into a menu like this:

I didn't know to push home key. at restart I saw blue screen like the one in your link. I didn't see phone info so I pushed home key to show barcode. it says 930vzka. then I went to download mode. I see:

Odin Mode, High speed in red text,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Okay sounds like it's a real 930V then.

So yea my best suggestion is to go to one of those firmware sites, and do clean flash with Odin with all 4 firmware files (BL, AP, CP, CSC). That way you should have an un-tampered bootloader, firmware and you can get the correct firmware for your carrier which should help with network connectivity

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] raynes32:
Anyone else get a static hiss when a sound plays through headphones? I've tried multiple pairs and it happens with all of them on my device. You can notice it easily after pausing a song, that static noise sound will be there for 2 seconds and then stop, only to restart when audio any sort of audio is output again. Anyone else having this? Really disappointed.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] raynes32:
I've tried it on two different honor 6x phones now and it happens on both, so not a fault on mine. Unfortunate that none of the users want to come forward and admit this problem.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Try some equalizers.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] raynes32:
It's a brand new Honor 6x, the jack does not need cleaning. Also I've tried it on a a new replacement 6x, still happening.

EQ would not make any difference. The problem occurs when audio is activated but no sound is output. So play a video or song with the volume set to 0 and you will hear a hiss. It was a poor design putting the headphone jack on top where you will get a lot of interference.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
I sold an Honor 6X to my friend last February. BLN-L24 variant. He isn't complaining of any hiss until now.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] raynes32:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBrad75:
Only phone calls and some video games play audio threw the front speaker, but absolutely no music player will play threw the speakers, headphones only. This only started after I rooted and installed magisk plus several sound mods (viper, dual speaker, audio mod library, Dolby)

I have removed all mods but still no luck, but I was hoping maybe if someone had a stock copy of the audio_effects.config file I could maybe try replacing the one I've currently got (definitely not stock, I believe it's the viper one, or one made by the audio mod library module)

Any other helpful info or suggestions would be great. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] callumbr1:
I believe it is the dual sound mod causing this. I have seen this issue a few times on the s8 forums. If you need the audio_effects.config let me know and I'll post it.

Maybe a clean flash of the ROM again but without installing the dual sound mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBrad75:
Could you upload the stock sound files that I might need.? And possibly the location I need to put them? (Or is it just system/vendor/etc?)

Hello

After rooting my device with CF-Auto Root and Odin 3, The device had kept displaying errors such as "Google Services framework has stopped working." "Google play services has stopped working." "Samsung Knox has stopped working." This made the device impossible to use as the messages appeared extremely frequently. I unrooted using SuperSU to no avail. the messages kept appearing. After factory resetting. many Samsung features do not work because Knox was tripped during rooting.

Is there any way i can re-root without these issues and then reset the Knox counter to 0x0? I would like to root, but these issues made my device impossible to use.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Pandotaz:
You can't reset Knox. Once it is tripped, you can't reset it. Only way to do is to change your Motherboard.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Thomzey:
flash the TWRP recovery for the a5 and then root by flashing Magisk v13.3 in TWRP. there are guides here to help with the exact steps for rooting. i believe people have has success using the methods for the A520f because they are pretty much the same phone but i cant guarantee anything.

once you have followed those steps and have got root, download a build.prop editor and look for the config with the name 'ro.config.tima' and change it from 1 to 0. you should then be able to use some of the knox related features like samsung health, but will never be able to use other features like secure folder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUSB:
Hi everyone!

First of all sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker but I'll try my best!

I currently own a Wiko uFeel Lite smartphone, which is pretty good for me and my needs, but for the moment it's in Marshmallow (nothing bad, it's just that the world already have Oreo and at least i'd like to have Nougat).

I've been doing some research lately because I know there are a lot of communities of Android development arround the world, and I thought that some of them maybe knew something about this phone's development. I found that there is a TWRP (with some bugs) recovery and a method of rooting with SuperSU. That's really good, and I'm thankful for that, but I kept researching because I wanted some juicy ROMs or similar.

After reading the "Legal" options in the "Information" section of the phone config, I found that Wiko has a web called "Wiko Geek", where the developers post which seems to be the kernel of each released phone.

So, here is finally my question! With that kernel source (used in the actual version of the phone), are developers able to create custom ROMs like Lineage ones (Marshmallow, Nougat, etc) for this or other models?

Thank you for your help and have a good day!

To all of the great chefs out there..Any possibility of someone cooking a ROM which uses the new POINTUI Home instaed of HTC Home? The new PointUI 10.2b is by far the best user interface for Windwos Mobile I have used so far. So easy, so straight forward and pretty to boot. Just and idea.

You beat me to it. It's a good idea. You could try installing one of the many 'Lite' Roms out there and just installing PointUI over it. But having PointUI cooked into new Roms vs having HTC Home installed might be and easy thing to do for the many cookers out there.

My 128 GB SD card (Sandisk) had corrupted files. Every time I delete files, they appear again. I even tried to quick-format the card on Windows, but the files appear again. I also formated it without quick-format which took about 24 hours and the files were again on the card.

Is there a tool that could delete everything? A partition manager maybe?

Is there a way to find logs of what is happening exactly to that SD card? The card is 17 months old.

[MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION]: I deleted the partition, but was unable to create a new one. As a result, I was unable to format it again and Windows does not assign any drive letter. Thus, I was unable to use chkdsk. However, Android still recognizes the card, but I cannot make any changes to it. Even when I format it again on Android 7, it says "format succesfull!", but the old data is still there.

@ Ashwinrg: Thank you! But now Windows does not even recognize the card because of the reason I mentioned above.

To fix the errors

chkdsk X: /f

Where X is the SD assigned letter

To recover some deleted files or files that you couldn't move from SD card you should have used programs like : testdisk or photorec to restore them before you did a format.

Hello

Seems that the SD is write protected

We can try to disable the protection using diskpart tool in windows

Connect the SD card -via card reader is a recommended step- or if your laptop have a buildin reader

Open a CMD (admin)

Type diskpart then enter

Type list disk then enter

You will see a list of disks and partitions etc..

Type select disk <number of the disk> for example

select disk 2 then enter

Type then

attributes disk clear readonly and enter

Then type exit and enter
