[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] raduque:
I'm really diggin' WM6.1 pro, and want to upgrade my PDA to it, but I can't seem to find a rom without all the touch nonsense included. Can somebody point me to a Wing WM6.1 rom without Touch-it, open-touch, touch-flo and such?

I'm just not fond of jabbing at a screen with my finger.

Thanks!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
You mean without the cube or HTC Home? You can use my upcoming ROM. It has BioTouch but it's a background feature not something that you have to use your finger for.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] loco41:
i think he wants the official rom
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
there is no official wm6.1 roms for herald

unless we just pick the oem folder with the sys from 6.1 and cook it, then it would be a "wannabe" official rom :D

and yesh, I see the humor in what u say ;)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] raduque:
I don't really need the official rom, I'm fine with a cooked rom, I just don't want any of the touch nonsense. If I wanted to jab at my screen with a finger, I'd have bought an iPhone :P
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Just disable the HTC Home on any ROM... There you go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
I know that there are a lot of the missing OEM Unlock posts, but this isn't about how to force it to appear.

What I would like to know is that if I want to stay on the stock ROM, but I don't have the OEM unlocked option, would I be able to factory reset to clear out encryption and then root with Magisk?

The guide says that I need to have OEM unlocked to be able to root, so I'm curious what would happen if I tried to root with the OEM still being locked? Would I soft brick it?

This is quite different from the other phones I've used and it's extremely frustrating that Samsung decided to pull this kind of bs on everyone and so far, there's no solution to it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fragtion:
If the OEM switch is not visible and switched on, then you cannot flash any non-official binaries, which means you can't flash TWRP or Magisk, which at this point means you can't get root. That's why everything boils down to the OEM switch being enabled. Please contact Samsung expressing your dissatisfaction about this OEM issue. All of us should, until they react to remedy this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
If we can get to fastboot, why can't we boot TWRP, install Supersu/magisk and dm-verity thus gaining root.

This wouldn't replace the stock recovery.

I believe this was how the Axon 7 was rooted prior to bootloader unlock being presented/found.

I do this on one of my phones (not Samsung) as I only want root access and still be able to get OTA updates.

Would booting TWRP instead of flashing it trip Knox and would root be gained or would you find the boot partition or other system files be altered and you get the error that seems to popping up on these devices?

Just throwing this out there as food for thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] di11igaf:
Having an unlocked bootloader is what would allow us to use fastboot to boot or flash an image. Just because we can access fastboot, doesn't mean we can get it to write to partitions, even temporarily. I haven't messed with a Samsung phone for years, so I could be wrong. This has been my experience with google bootloader in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 77Eric77:
From what I did read from other threads, if you don't see the option in the Developer Option Settings, then you shouldn't need to enable it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
I was reading about this as well and what I got from that was in regards to custom roms, the oem unlock option is default to unlock and hidden. but for the stock rom, it's locked by default unless visibly given the option. otherwise when you go into download mode, it'll show FRP Lock: On.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
Ah, but if I want to just root and nothing else, would I still need to have the bootloader unlocked? I'm used to rooting stuff but the technicalities and mechanics of the process escapes mr.

my hope is to atleast root the stock rom and factory reset including wiping the internal sd to start fresh. but if I factory reset on a stock rom, the internal storage would still be encrypted right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
This is why I want to know if we can boot TWRP. It boots TWRP but leaves the stock recovery.

However, I'm not sure if the boot image is altered when flashing root. I know Magisk seems to alter the boot image but not sure if SuperSU does.

Would this trigger KNOX?

If it does trip KNOX, it's not worth booting into TWRP, might as well just bite the bullet and install but only if bootloader is unlocked 1st... Too expensive to just brick it for an experiment...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
personally I don't care about knox. I just want to be able to root and restore my apps so I can transfer my stuff from my s7 to the note 8 and freeze all the bloatware like touchwiz and stuff.

from what I gleaned from reading the threads is magisk makes a copy of the boot image as a backup.

but again I just want root and I can wait for a longer term solution in how to fix this moronic 7 day jail bs.

but I think knox will get tripped the moment you root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 77Eric77:
I didn't have OEM option as well (FRP lock was ON), I just followed me2151 guide but I was getting the partition error, so in first part I also added BL and after that everything went smoothly.

KNOX wasn't tripped, it's rooted as of this moment and tomorrow I will be installing custom rom.

PS: And yes it was an experiment but I was willing to take the risk because after reading half a day about no OEM option in developer options everyone was saying if it's not there you don't need it, I wasn't 100% sure but I was 98% sure I'm not going to brick it. btw I'm using Telus N950W note8 (locked)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
I think you might want to be careful on that. I'm not sure who "everyone" is but the others like Dr.Ketan did not even recommend rooting without unlocking the option first and it seems to me that the general gist of the other thread (the 150+ page thread) was that you need it explicitly unlocked.

The ones who talked about not seeing the option means you probably don't need it are talking about custom roms (like renovate) that purposefully hid the option since it's already defaulted to unlocked on that rom.

I haven't used any custom roms yet, but that seems to be what I'm reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
just following up. Were you able to root and flash a custom rom with OEM Unlocked checked after all?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 77Eric77:
I was able to root it but the boot loader is still locked. It's faster without the bloatware and what not. KNOX is disabled. There is still no twrp and custom rom for Snapdragon to the best of my knowledge. It did change the model of the phone from N950W to N950U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mputtr:
finally got the OEM Unlock option and rooted + stock recovery... i had to restart my phone to bring my android ID back to the one I always used.. and got locked out...

so 7 more days for me. And all I wanted to do was to have Titanium backup up and running so i can transfer my phone over....

i am hating what samsung has done
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
I have found an almost new Moto Z Play on eBay for £238, is this still a good buy? I have a Nexus 6P and the battery is beyond bad, I wand decent performance, screen and headphone audio, plus amazing battery life. I can't find it brand new anywhere in the UK (apart from for £338 on Amazon). So would I be stupid to buy it for £238 from eBay? I've heard that the performance is deceptively good for a mid-ranger!

Thanks.

So I'm using Redmi Note 4 snapdragon for about 4 months and i never encountered any problem till now... I don't know if it's because of update or what but my mobile is showing headphone connected symbol in status bar... If a call comes i can't hear through earpiece i have to plug in headphones or switch to speaker mode. Moreover i can't play songs on speaker as it is in headphone mode... I searched on net for hours and tried to clean with earbud... Formatted the phone/reset... I tried to change mi sound enhancer settings plugging in headphones in and out... Rebooted several times... Nothing works... So wanted to ask what to do? Will switching to custom rom solve my problem? Is it because of update or hardware fault? Any help would be much appreciated :')

The solution is to plug in your headphone/earphone again n' again and unplug it until the icon/sign gets disappear.

Is FM radio enabled in Sony Xperia XZ Premium?

Any information regarding FM radio chip enabled or disabled in Sony Xperia XZ premium. If it is not, that's a deal breaker...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iKlutz:
It isn't included in the stock firmware.

I've heard/read that the hardware is still capable of running the fm radio app but would need to modify the firmware to get it running.

I've tried transferring the latest app from my Z3 but it force closes on the XZP.

If you enjoyed data-free analog radio streaming and can't live without it, don't expect Sony to fix it unless enough demand is met.

I would've picked another brand if I knew this was coming :/

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.f.x.:
Hi,

before Oreo I happily used "Rsync for Android" to sync images from my NAS to my Pixel C (and backups the other way).

Since Oreo this no longer works. The rsync and ssh executables in /sdcard/Android/data/eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android/files/ are no longer executable, as the sdcard is mounted noexec.

The devices is rooted, stock ROM.

I am looking for either alternative apps that do not rely on executables on the sdcard or ways to make "Rsync for Android" usable again. Preferable a solution that survives system updates.

thx

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mliang2:
I used llama + rsync4android to backup DCIM/Camera to my Linux server. Same problem w/ Oreo. The easiest work around is to use SmbSync2 instead. The other workaround is to use root the phone and use one of the following:

- llamaLab's Automate. (Search the community contributed tasks for an rsync example).

- Tasker + com.termux's plugin (I haven't tested this one)

The really hacker's method (My first attempt):

- install rsync4android

- install the rsync binaries (rsync, ssh, dropbearkey)

- generate dss_key

- as root, copy those binaries to to /system/bin (will need remount /system rw)

- chmod 755 those binaries

- install a cron scheduler (I used ru.kslabs.scheduler)

- create a task and directly run rsync. (Might need to run as root)
