[Security Discussion] Lillie11:
Hello, this is my first post-I searched and there are a lot of discussions re: rooting, but I decided to post because my issue is a little different.

I have been having hacking issues for awhile-my iPhone was jailbroken remotely-oftentimes, I get a flat "that's impossible," but that's what people at Apple's "genius bar" told me-I didn't come up with it/know what jailbreaking was. A couple laptops were hacked as well as a wifi hotspot router. That's some history.

I have reason to believe my phone has been compromised, considering all I just mentioned. I have a file folder and an example of what I'll find is files dated as from 1969, a file called "lp_extraction_php" (my last pass account was also hacked) and lots of files about sql injections. I am assuming, and I don't know much at all and for that I apologize, but that if my phone has been compromised like my iPhone was, it would have been rooted. I have no idea how to do that/don't know if I'd want to because it may be beyond my non-existent skill level to keep up with. Most of the posts I saw about rooting were from people who were trying to, not from people wondering if someone else has done it already. I have Cricket and they might as well not have customer service for how helpful they have been.

How would I start to tell if my device is rooted, keeping in mind that it may already be compromised and I may need to take extra precaution or go about it differently than an experienced user on a clean device who is trying to change things? (On my iPhone, I thought I was downloading facebook for example, and apparently it wasn't really facebook. It looked 100% legit. So I am a little paranoid about downloading apps). Any advice at all is appreciated!!! Let me know if I can clarify anything.
[Security Discussion] mrrocketdog:
well 1st off if your rooted you would be able to delete/move/rename system apps/folders and files (with any root file browser). you could use an app such as "root checker" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pi5hvi:
Any devs up for a challenge?

I preordered the pixel 2 xl on 4th Oct and the 'missing feature' that I'm most disappointing about is not the 3.5 jack, but the lack of an IR blaster (which is how it's always been since the Nexus days). However, I do know that the Pixel camera uses an IR unit to focus in the dark. Was wondering if in theory it may be possible to use that as an IR blaster to control my TV. Granted, it would be awkward pointing my camera to the TV to use as a remote, but I'm still curious. If so, the app could be used for other phones from LG, Huawei, HTC, Meizu, Asus and Oneplus among others who also have laser autofocus but no IR blaster

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Just for my reference I also want to gauge the community's interest in this sort of thing. Am I the only one curious about this? Please answer the poll (if I can figure out how to make one that is... This is pretty much my first xda post and at the moment, all I see at the bottom is a box to determine the number of poll options)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Cool idea, if it's the same tech used to focus as to send commands. I'd actually rather point the camera vs the top of the phone. It'd be easier to see what I'm selecting on my phone screen.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Reading some posts from 2015, ppl were trying to do this with other devices. Some ppl saying it isn't the same as actual ir blaster. Nothing sounded concrete either way, but no resolution either.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xxceler8:
Has LG in the past granted the carrier promos to buyers of the carrier unlocked models? I really don't want the silver color + 64g is kinda small.

Are there typically a lot of DEV stuff going on for the last few carrier unlocked versions?

Going all the way back to the vzw Droid 1, rooting has always had it's advantages. Mainly being getting the OS updates quicker. That was the biggest selling point.. not waiting for your carrier to package the latest OTA update. But I look around these days, and in order to root it seems you have to be on a very old build, and it just never gets updated? Not only that but it seems to bring on major issues like no text or data, or can't dial out, etc. I mean wow these are kinda show stoppers. I stopped flashing ROMs because there were so many that just dragged and dropped files/apps from other phones. It's like they were frankenstein builds pieced together with apps from new phones, with varying CPU/GPU packages. All ROMs I've read about seem to say 'Optimized', 'Tweaked' etc, but never.. I mean never lay out any technical specifics of what they coded , changed, or added. Are there any ROM makers around these days that take a piece of a phones code and modify it? Maybe I should try to find a stock rom with ability to change kernels, and no show stopping bugs.

My issue is I tossed my lame iPhone work gave me in a drawer, so I use my personal unlimited plan for both corporate and personal. So I can't be missing a call or text/email. Also I really like LGs skin, most say it's the worst of the bunch but I've always thought it was the best. I couldn't live without that quick memo app.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
YES. I've posted plenty of links to carrier unlocked version dev work for both LG G6 and LG V20. But here you go:

LG V20 - 4 pages of ROMs, kernels, recovery, etc.

LG G6 - 2 pages of ROMs, kernels, recovery, etc.

The LG G6 is impressive only because it wasn't added to the bootloader unlock list until practically July (June 29). So, in like 3 months time look at all the dev work it has! The LG V30 will be that and MORE -- because it has much better specs than the LG G6, which had

"last year's Snapadragon",

had only 32GB internal storage in the U.S. and European models)

only some model had Quad DAC (which U.S. and European models didn't have),

only U.S. model had Qi wireless charging.

The LG V30 is the phone the LG G6 should have been.

No, LG isn't going to honor carrier promos. Why would they? The carrier is trying to get your monthly service charge, LG is just selling you a carrier unlocked version of the phone. Take it or leave it. They're not trying to compete with the carriers, they are business partners. They're not trying to steal sales from the carriers. That's why they wait a few weeks AFTER launch to even sell the carrier unlocked version.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Remember it's internal storage + microSD card. It's not like iPhone or Pixel crap.

Plus, we don't know what the carrier unlocked models will have yet. They haven't been announced or released. We only know they are coming because LG always does it and B&H photo already has a webpage devoted to the US998. THAT webpage says 64GB.

Whether LG will sell a 128GB model directly on the LG website we can only hope.

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pranavmali:
Here's a noob guide to flash Lineage OS on Oneplus 3. There aren't any clear steps about flash the rom. half of them ended in a bootloop because of the decryption process .

I've Made it up in a simple guide

Disclaimer :- I just go tall the things together. All the stuff which is mentioned is all the Developers Work.

Pre-request :- Basic Knowledge of copy pasting stuff

Latest Twrp.

All the files.

A Pc.

[Links are in the end]

1: Backup all your data. Even the internal Storage because Oreo needs full decryption.

2: After Backing up data. Go to twrp and wipe all data.

3: After wiping. Reboot to bootloader. and connect it to the pc

4: Run fastboot on Pc and copy paste these commands

fastboot devices

fastboot format userdata

Note the second command will delete everything on your phone.

5: After formatting reboot to twrp and then go to wipe > format data and select format. [ This will create all the system partitions]

6: After formatting reboot to twrp and then go to adb sideload and connect your phone to the Pc again.

7: Now copy these commands.

adb devices

adb sideload {path to your zip} for me it's C:/adb/lineage.zip

do same as above just with gapps and root package eg:

adb sideload C:/adb/opengapps.zip

adb sideload C:/adb/Magisk.zip

8: Reboot

[Links]

Rom download the latest one.

http://downloads.akhilnarang.me/LineageOS/oneplus3/

Gapps http://opengapps.org/

download the Arm64 based gapps

Root https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

download v14.0 stable one

Extras: You can get 6hrs of SOT

( your mileage may very )

After your rom is settled download this kernel and flash it

after that down ATK profile and flash that too

How to use AKT Profile

1- Download the latest AKT_Profile_vX.x.zip file

2- Reboot into TWRP recovery and flash the .zip file

3- After you boot up the phone, leave it to settle for a minute

4- Open up your favorite Terminal Emulator app

5- Grant it superuser permissions by typing in "su" without the quotes

6- After superuser permissions are granted, type in "AKT" without the quotes (yes capitalized)

7- Follow the on-screen instructions and information, don't worry they are very intuitive and easily understandable

8- Profit!

The Future process is Self explanatory for AKT

Hello all,

some weird things are happening to me...

Very recently, my on/off button began not working when trying to put my kaiser in sleep mode. I would press it but nothing would happen, my screen would remain on...

But now, the reverse is happening : my kaiser is in sleep mode, and whenever I press this on/off button, nothing happens. I have tryed to call the phone, but it would even not respond to an incoming call... Looks like my kaiser is falling asleep under my eyes :eek:

The only solution is to do a soft reset...

Any hint ? I am with Schaps excellent 4.30 Rom. And I would like to avoid a hard reset :o

Thanks

What other apps have you installed? Sounds like something that doesnt agree with Shaps rom.

So either uninstall the recent apps you added... or try a different rom.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] mojoe:
Hello,

I have purchased a Huawei P10 Plus from my service provider i.e. Vodacom SA.

Upon checking the Model number it shows VKY-L09.

However the memory configuration as per setting is for VKY-L29 i.e. 6 GB RAM + 128 GB ROM.

I am having overheating problems, speaker works erratically, telecom communications breaks down.

Lastly, whilst trying to unlock the bootloader the command "adb reboot bootloader " keeps showing device/emulator not found.

The switch "usb debugging" keeps on switch off after a minute.

Very confusing.

Any Advice.

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] belfastrab:
Hi All

Sorry first of all if this post is in the wrong category / section.

I just signed up to a new 24 month contract with EE in the UK and got a S8 to replace my S6 so I could use EE's wifi calling because I have moved to a poor cell reception area.

I have tried for days to get wifi calling on my Asus RT-N66U router which is a pretty good router running Asus WRT Merlin. I eventually thought I would try the awful free router I received from my broadband supplier and wifi calling works perfectly with that. So while I am pleased wifi calling is working I now know the Asus is at fault. I tried the very latest WRT Merlin firmware (14th Oct 2017) and then reflashed it with the very latest stock Asus WRT firmware and nothing made any difference. I also tried opening the following ports on the Asus router and still no joy:

TCP ports in the range 5060-5061

UDP ports in the range 40283-59999

UDP port 4500 (IKEv2)

UDP port 500 (IKEv2)

I have read countless of forum posts online the last few days and some have complained that their Asus routers were not working with wifi calling but yet lots of others say their's is fine. So does anyone know please of any settings I can try to set, enable or disable on the Asus router so wifi calling will work on it because the crappy free one while working with wifi calling doesn't have a great wifi range so would like to go back to using the Asus.

Many Thanks

Rab

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ayrlaine:
I haven't been able to use my Kindle for months now - It will not boot. I've read through some of the suggestions here, but I don't understand what to do - I get lost.

I have done a hard reset (many times, several variations) and have attempted to do a factory reset - the factory reset gets stuck on "Erasing" - for hours - so I assume that's not working properly either.

I had a moment of hope today - I had ordered a cord to connect to my PC - when I turned the Kindle on, it made that little musical noise it makes when it's booting - but it was a trick - it's still stuck on the splash screen. I'm saying the second one because I normally get an all white screen, which then changes to the one where the 'fire' is in yellow. And there it ends!

If you can help me I'll need little words - lol - and clear explanations - I'm not at all technical.

Oh - and since I used the cord to connect to my PC - I do see the device listed - it is under Universal Serial Bus Devices - and just says Android
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Given the symptoms your device can likely be revived. That said, the tasks involved are not for the faint of heart. Landmines everywhere. You will want to recruit the help of someone familiar with tethering/rooting/modifying Android and working with 'low level' commands.

BTW - the cable you purchased will likely not work with this device unless it is a standard USB charge cord. Fastboot (sometimes called 'factory') cables will not work their magic on HDX devices.

Sorry for the disappointing news - pointless to sugar coat reality.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ayrlaine:
Well - I appreciate your candor - it would appear that the device will be a loss then - I'm 71, retired, and don't know anyone familiar with tethering/rooting/etc - Sigh - I think I'll just get a PaperWhite - I only want something to read from and my iPad is bulkier.

the best way is with magisk and uninstall xposed, at least you don't need to unroot
