Does this still work for the newest batch of Essential Phone? I just got one from the Amazon sale, it's probably going to have the newest fw.

Yes. I unlocked mine the other day.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] fongher10:
Just now gone through the video and my phone isn't recognized by fastboot once I am in the boadloader. So I can't unlock it without it being recognized. Did your work as in the video? I'm thinking it's my USB 3.0 connection to the PC and/or the USB mode. It goes into charging mode first and I have to change to file transfer before the phone can be seen by the PC or fastboot.

Any assistance here would be great.

Edit: changed default USB mode to MTP and still not found in fastboot.

Edit2: resolved. Needed the driver update away from the fcking Windows version. use drivers from Essential website

My Phone Can Only Run 4 Core

Android O Installed

Android O Recovery 4core Installed

My PC Sometime Detect It As Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

This Happened To My Phone After TWRP 3.1.1 4 core Get Stuck On Installing And He Won't Turn On Again I Have Try A Factory Image But Won't Work Android M,N And O All Haven't Work

I Think TWRP Cause Corruptions Or Something Like That

If Any One Know How To Fix Tell Me Ok

Help Is A Good Action

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truekasun:
Try flash the recovery (You can extract the recovery image from the factory system image file) from fastboot. Then sideload the factory image from recovery.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofiane omega:
I've already try it,

My phone is a bootloop devices I have only 4core an I've already try all the 4 core recovery and kernel,

twrp cause this after getting stuck on an installation my phone turn off and after that I've try to turn it on again he begin to bootloop and get suddenly brick,

I think twrp cause corruption to my partitions .
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kastik4:
if you can boot into bootloader you can try to fastboot erase boot, recovery, system, vendor, userdata, cache, and try then flash the manualy one by one (not from the ota zip)if the partitions are corrupted this will delete them and when you flash them again the will be recreated note that userdata and cache partition dont exist in the factory images so you need to create them with the command fastboot -w if you need any more help feel free to ask more things

[Xposed General] BytesReverser:
as xposed for nougat is already arrived officially many modules are not working

there is either File Based Encryption in data partition or by wiping data partition from twrp removes it

anybody able to read shared_prefs either with FBE or without it successfully so that it works properly,if that so please let us know how so that other module developers can fix their modules as well
[Xposed General] BytesReverser:
the issue is that you can not read Preferences like used to before

pref = new XSharedPreferences(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID);

so any values saved in shared_prefs can not be read by xposed at the moment on nougat atleast on galaxy s7 930F

i am looking for workaround,i tried putting prefs in /data/here it works but not so stable
[Xposed General] C3C076:
This seems to work OK for me:

https://developer.android.com/refer...xt.html#createDeviceProtectedStorageContext()

https://developer.android.com/refer...renceManager.html#setStorageDeviceProtected()

I adjusted one of my modules to use Device Protected Storage and it seems to initialize preferences fine on FBE devices.
[Xposed General] BytesReverser:
i need tester for this

because i am unable to boot if i flash magisk or supersu without formating data partition ,so i format /data partition and rooted which eventually remove encryption from /data partition so unable to test

i saw your commit but would be fine if i got tested with encrypted /data partition to test
[Xposed General] guangyu.zhou:
I have the same issue. To fix it, actually, we don't need to touch device protected storage. But we do need to set up the package folder permission and the preference file permission.

I set the folder to 711, and the file to 644. Then the preference works well. XSharedPreference.makeWorldReadable should set the file permission. And you may need to set up the folder permission manually with setExecutable(true, false).
[Xposed General] C3C076:
The thing is OS automatically changes permissions of preference files back and removes readable flags. This happens when preferences are committed to the filesystem.

To work around this I had to implement a solution that tracks those changes and adjusts permissions as necessary.

[Xposed General] guangyu.zhou:
Yeah, you're right. So we need to proactively set it readable to work around it.

By the way, Gravity Box is a great project. It helps me a lot on the exposed development.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzokal:
Hello forum, I hope you are all doing very well.

I have a S III GT-i9300 with android 4.3.

I've searched everywhere for an 4.1.1. ROM for my android phone, but all the links (like hotfile ect.) are down. I really need to flash this rom because my phone is sim locked (it asks for network unlock code after I put the PIN) and dial codes for the service mode don't work.

I've downgraded to 4.1.2 (that was the lowest firmware I've found), but in the service mode>phone control>sim lock it says "the menu does not exist"

Is there any source or anyone who can provide me the 4.1.1. ROM?

Or otherwise, can I unlock my phone with another method without paying for unlock codes?

If you want more info of my phone (like IMEI ect.), please let me know.

Thank you in advnance!

Alex
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You cannot flash a 4..1.1 ROM over a 4.3 ROM. Once upgraded to 4.3, you'll have to purchase a network unlock code.

Trying to downgrade the phone from 4.3 to 4.1.1 could hard-brick the phone.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] v_raiden:
Apologize if this is a stupid question ...

But it it possible to get niki to do 3g on a freq other than 2100 ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] clonmult:
that would require a major hardware change, so its unlikely.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] v_raiden:
thank you. that helps.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] bxwatso:
On 2-14-08, HTC started selling the HTC Touch Dual 850 in Australia. The big question is whether it has the same chips inside as the Touch Dual. There has been some talk that the regular Touch Dual has a chip that works on the 850 frequency, so I'd say there is a good chance the two devices are the same with differnt ROMs.

We really need someone to upload the ROM from a Touch Dual 850.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] SMYKUL:
I believe that there were two differing Qualcomm 7200 chipsets produced:

One with support for 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (the US version, in which the 850 & 1900 MHz band is used for UMTS). And one which supports 900/1800/1900/2100 MHz (for Europe) In which the 2100 MHz band is used for HSDPA.

You could be right though, it may be that the only differences are in software.

The device can't support all five frequencies(at least it shouldn't be able to :-) ), but it may be possible to pick and choose by flashing radio roms.

Only time will tell... :-)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
I have read the lg ks20 manuel ... if you need more frequency, you need hardware parts! on of this parts are a RF switcher. the radio read out the nv ram too.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] bxwatso:
I'd say that just about does it. I will be wanting an 850 model soon.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
in the moment ... i think ... no 850mhz nike!!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] erandhawa:
hoping a radio update can do it for the niki since i just bought one in the us and just learnt about this issue.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] erandhawa:
do you think the australia rom would fix it or the radio, i do know the australia rom is available for download but isn't the radio more important for this issue?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mskovrinskie:
Has anyone found out any new info about this? I too have issues with the Niki100 not covering all the bands I need for coverage in my area and have no 3G. With the US Touch Dual coming out soon, or with the Australia release, I was hoping someone had a radio flash that could provie if upgrading the radio fimrware worked.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
you havent understand what i have tell!!!

niki havent the right RV Switch!!! You cant change anything to handle G3 network on 850MHz or 1900MHz!!!

the US Touch Dual or AUS Touch Dual isnt a HTC Niki ... it is a HTC NEON!!!

Both can use the same OS and Radio Roms! The Radio Rom is every time the same!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] SecureGSM:
@NetrunnerAT

just to be fare:

there are 2 models of HTC Touch Dual available here in Australia:

HTC Touch Dual UMTS 2100MHz

HTC Touch Dual UMTS 850MHz (Telstra NextG frequencies)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
ok again ... Touch Dual 850MHz is a HTC NEON!!!! Both Device have the same Case and a simulare Chipset, but different RV Chips!!!

Don't bug me!

[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] awywrsmtx:
Not holding my breath but it seems YP3 has slightly better support for LTE frequencies which should mean better overall LTE reception in Europe and in Canada. Not sure about the U.S.

Europe (select bands and countries)

B8 (900) - NEW band in YP3

B3 (1800 +)

B7 (2600)

Canada

B7 (2600)

B2 1900 - NEW band in YP3

Band 17 - 700 mhz - NEW band in YP3

The comparison is made against YD201.

I got the specs from Frenquency check website and from posted online specs about YP3. Looks like these specs are different from the preview models of YP3 a few months ago so let's hope it holds some truth.

Interesting one of the specs saying the phone will also include bands 12, 13, 29 (all 700 mhz) which would be mostly good news for the U.S.

[Chromebooks] Nilithium:
I've had the Samsung Chromebook Plus for about 2 weeks now, and I love it! Chrome OS is pretty good at handling itself for notetaking with the stylus, and the gorgeous screen is great for high res stuff (although Chrome OS is in desperate need of DPI scaling). It even runs Android apps out of the box! So far, I only have 2 major gripes about Chrome OS:

-It cannot do multitasking on anything (Android or Chrome app) when in tablet mode (buttons disappear, window drags are disabled) even on the beta branch

-Android cannot be rooted on the Chrome OS (so I think).

That second one is the one I'd like help with. Can you root the Android OS installed on the Chromebook? I'd love to know; I have a game called War Robots I want to play on it, but I can't manually turn down the graphical fidelity without using GLTools.

Any help is appreciated!
[Chromebooks] Nolirum:
Yes, certainly you can root Android on Chrome OS. The rootfs of the Android container is read-only by default, so the method I've been using involves making a writeable copy of the Android rootfs .img in /usr/local, adding SuperSU (adding its binaries to /system/xbin, the SuperSU apk to /system/priv-app, and modifying init.rc to autoload daemonsu), then replacing the original Android rootfs .img file path with a symlink to the rooted one. In addition, a couple of flags (mount-as-read-only and font sharing) need to be changed in one or two of the /etc/init/arc* files (CrOS version dependent), and also the SElinux policy file needs to be patched.

I have written a script to automate the above procedure, if you would like to try it out you can do so by entering the following into the Chrome OS shell (then rebooting).

curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nolirium/aroc/onescript/RootandSEpatch.sh | sudo sh

You need to be in Dev mode to get into the shell (Ctrl+Alt+T; type 'shell'), and rootfs verification needs to be switched off to modify system files (the script will give you the command to do this, if you haven't already done it).

It would be prudent to make sure any important files are backed up prior to making any changes to the rootfs.

Edit: If any errors occur, or problems are are experienced after using the script, such as Android (apps) failing to load, it's usually not necessary to powerwash. The script makes a backup of the original Android system.raw.img, which can be restored with the following command:

sudo mv /opt/google/containers/android/system.raw.img.bk /opt/google/containers/android/system.raw.img
[Chromebooks] Nilithium:
On a general basis, running scripts from random strangers on the Internet is a bad thing. But I'll take it!

I've encountered an ID10T error though: I set the debugging password during setup, and I THOUGHT that was the sudo password to run your script. Problem is, that's not true, and I've no idea what it is.

Tried Google Account password, no dice.

Tried Chromebook PIN, no dice.

Tried Debug Pass set in Setup, no dice.

Tried password, no dice.

Tried null password (no input), no dice.

What is the sudo password? Did I miss something?
[Chromebooks] Nolirum:
Yeah, this seems to be quite a common issue. Perhaps it would be more user-friendly if more information was available during the initial OOB setup, such as a link describing the 'debugging features' feature's features in a bit more depth.

Anyway, if you go into a VT with e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2, you should be able to log in there as the user 'root' with your debugging password, and then you can run the command chromeos-setdevpasswd to set a sudo password for chronos.

I know this thread is about rooting but I thought someone here may be able to help me. I also posted in the Tivo Community Forum also and am waiting for a response. Thanks!
[Chromebooks] phonefreedom:
This is the question I'm interested in also as I will be receiving my first PixelBook in a couple of days. Having root access in the Android container along with a Linux install would rapidly move this to my daily driver.

Can anyone confirm this? :cool:
[Chromebooks] phonefreedom:
Well, I gave this a try and can say this is a no go for the Pixelbook. It did make Android unusable though causing me to powerwash and reload.
[Chromebooks] Nolirum:
When you say it was unusable, did Android (apps) appear to fail to load up completely, just the icon spinning? Or something else?

Did you happen to notice if any errors were shown on the script's output at all?

For example, there was this issue reported on github when the Pixelbook was first released, in which the Android rootfs container created by the script turned out to be a bit smaller than required, and so errors occurred when copying files to the new rooted /system. The user was able to successfully continue after manually editing the script so it created a container that was slightly bigger.

The script has been updated since then to reflect the increased space requirements, so that particular problem should no longer occur. Other potential sources of error might include if there could have been a problem downloading the required files (SuperSU, BusyBox), a problem patching SE Linux (in which case there is a separate script to do this part) , or maybe something else, possibly due to Chrome OS changes/updates.

In the case of the script rendering Android unusable, it's usually not necessary to powerwash. The script makes a backup of the original Android system.raw.img, which can be restored with the following command:

sudo mv /opt/google/containers/android/system.raw.img.bk /opt/google/containers/android/system.raw.img

Entering the above will restore the original read-only squashfs unrooted rootfs, which, after a reboot, should then load up as normal.

I think I'll edit my earlier post in this thread to add the command to restore from backup. Apologies for failing to mention it here initially. I might add an explicit message in the script itself regarding this, as well.
[Chromebooks] do-tim:
Flashing zips

Hey first time poster here. This may seem like a newbie question, but how do I flash zips without a custom recovery?

Is there a way to sideload to the container? I tried several apps like Flashfire (used an unofficial build since I could not disable the time bomb on Chrome Os) and Flash Gordon, but it did not seem to work.

Thanks
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
Corrective measures to run the script...

Spoke too quickly - all installed but no root detected in SuperSU...

Yes, thanks, it seems to work.

I wonder why the script cannot handle downloading SuperSU & busybox on its own, some corrections are needed.
[Chromebooks] Davestar2000:
Is it possible that I don't have write access to /system of the Android container or am I doing something wrong?
[Chromebooks] Nolirum:
Yes, depending on the Chrome OS version you're on, it's possible that the container's still being mounted read-only. They keep changing around some bits and pieces related to the container mount config with (almost) every new version release of the OS. There was a change that they made to config.json (which could be worked around by editing the file) a while back which broke the RW mount, but this was reverted quite quickly. Some other related changes have been made recently though, causing the issue to crop up again.

I've been reluctant to add something in to the script to deal with this read-only mount issue as yet, since the need for it has been CrOS version-dependent. The following fix should work on v69 and 70 (enter it in a Chrome OS root shell):

sed -i 's|mount rootfs rootfs / remount bind ro|mount rootfs rootfs / remount bind rw|g' /opt/google/containers/android/rootfs/root/init.rc

After a reboot (or just rebooting Android), the container should mount as R/W as expected. Let me know if this doesn't work.
