If you want most stable rom you can use existenz MM rom https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-existenz-marshmallow-v1-0-0-28-04-t3367860 it is not the last version of Android that xperia z2 has but it is the most stable

If you want to have last android you can flash carbon rom https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/7-x-x-carbonrom-cr-5-1-t3655016 which is android 7.1.2 or RR rom https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-t3592250

And for backing to factory version you can make a back up right after you flashed the rom and installed apps you want using TWRP recovery so if anything goes wrong you can restore you backup

For flashing the rom there are instructions on the rom fourms

iPhone is for you, my man. Android isn't your thing.

Go for an iPhone 8 and do not worry about these things ever again. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastalabasta:
Thank you very much :o

I see the ExistenZ is still on Android 6, does that mean it still does get security patches (are there still security patches for Android 6?)? Otherwise, I would need to take another rom. Moreover, why would people consider an old rom if there aren't any security updates (especially with now the Krack Wifi troubles, to name just one)? Stability?

[Security Discussion] Nathan2:
I recently got an HTC 10, and observed this immediately with the unmodified Verizon-branded firmware. I then got the phone S-OFF'd, and installed the latest "US Unlocked" firmware direct from HTC's website, and then observed the same thing:

When USB debugging is enabled, it immediately accepts the connection, without first prompting with the host's RSA key. Tapping "revoke authorizations" does nothing, other than prompt you.

The only upshot is that it seems MTP File Transfer has to be enabled first for each USB connection, otherwise the default is charging only and adb won't connect. Still, I'd like to know why the RSA authentication is broken and whether or not it can be fixed.

I noticed the same exact thing a couple of years ago, in fact, on my HTC M8. However, I had simply assumed it was broken in the custom ROM I was using, and anyway, it went away once I switched to the (official) GPE firmware. Now, with the 10, I'm seeing it on the unmodified vendor ROM.

Anyone have any idea, what's going on here?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] km8j:
So some apps under battery usage have the ability to restrict background usage but not all. I would think system services you can't, but you actually can on Google play services. What is the impact of doing this? And why can't you do it on apps like chrome? When you do this, do push messages still work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] eweo911:
Hello all!

I cannot get root on my S7 as the title states.

I have loaded the ENG BOOT to my phone:

[IMG="Screenshot"]http://i68.tinypic.com/e11z48.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Screenshot"]http://i65.tinypic.com/25p1j7q.png[/IMG]

I have followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502

with this New ROOT.BAT:

**EDIT: @jrkruse on 5/29/17 has created a new ROOT.BAT including SuperSU v2.82, it has been outlined in this post #480 of his custom rom thread. As always, please take a moment to hit the thanks button! Without the work of these amazing dev's we would NOT have root PERIOD! It is free for you, and mean's a lot to everyone involved in bringing these releases to you the public!!!

Here is latest root zip with SuperSU 2.82 (5/29/2017)
Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip

I let the phone reboot and when I open SuperSU, I receive the error "SU Binary Occupied". This happened the absolute very first time I attempted to root the phone, nothing has ever been done to the phone, it was 100% stock. I then unrooted the phone with the unroot.bat. I have been getting device disconnects when running the root.bat. My phone is connected and it is not actually disconnecting as far as I can see. I am also getting a "Protocol Error" occasionally when the script is attempting to install SuperSU. I can run the command by hand and it installs no problem, it only errors out with the script. I then use the unroot.bat and start over which the script will run fine again. The apps uninstall when the unroot.bat runs and they then re-install when the root.bat runs.

I have yet been able to root this phone successfully.

I did get the error to not show at one point after I ran the unroot.bat. I installed SuperSU v2.79 via adb cmd prompt, and then opened the app. It then gave me the SU binary needs to be updated error, which it fails at doing.

I really do not want to reset the phone as I'm not even sure that would solve anything as it didn't work the first time from stock.

I have read that there is TWRP working for the S7 but i cant tell if it's for the US version or not, I didn't look into it very deeply.

Does anyone have any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] eweo911:
Well, bit the bullet and re-flashed my phone using QH7 odin files and attempted root again. This time it has worked successfully!

It appears that there may have been something that installed funny when the upgrade to Nougat occurred as my reboot time is about 20 seconds now, compared to the 60 seconds it took previously.

Guess if you are getting the same problems when you've never rooted before, a re-flash may result in these issues resolving themselves.

[Moto E4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:
Hello everybody.

We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.

So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.

Currently this device is having some issues with this app. I don't own the device. So I would be grateful if people use it provide feedback. Thanks.

[Moto E4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:
I had thought of making a port of those features for all devices; using accelerometer readings. But then I found out that most devices give very erratic readings. So I dropped the plan.

Only if a device has the Motorola Double twist sensor, the feature can be used, that too with the Moto camera only.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllBlaxx:
Okay, I got a good one for you guys and I'm hoping someone can give me an idea I haven't thought of yet. Here's the scenario:

I owned a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G925W8) that I passed down to my best friend when I bought a Pixel XL last fall. While it was still my daily driver, I had gotten tired of waiting for Rogers to push the Marshmallow OTA to their customers while other carriers had already sent it out so I went on over to SamMobile and downloaded the 6.0.1 firmware from Eastlink, installed it on my device using Odin and went on to enjoy my life with the latest version of Android.

Flash forward a little more than a year and my friend is still using the S6 edge as his daily driver but a couple months ago, the USB port stopped working. Not the end of the world at the time as I had given him my wireless charger with the phone and that still works just fine. When Rogers released the Nougat update for the S6 edge, my buddy mentioned that he hadn't gotten it yet but I thought it would just be a matter of time until he got the notification that it was ready to download.

Towards the end of August, news broke that certain Samsung devices on the Rogers network would no longer be able to call 911 due to network enhancements that they were planning in the fall https://mobilesyrup.com/2017/08/30/android-6-x-lower-samsung-devices-911-calls-rogers/ Okay, no big deal we're thinking except Rogers has sent out a text message in the past week stating that any affected devices not updated by October 26, 2017 will have LTE network access removed to ensure that they can still access 911 services. Okay, so let's load up that OTA update already right? Well it just dawned on me today that since I had loaded the Eastlink firmware, that's why he's not seeing the OTA update from Rogers.

So now we gotta figure out how we're going to address this problem. He's going to take it to a repair shop in the morning to see how much it is to fix the USB port so that we can update it using Odin but he's obviously not looking to spend too much to repair a 2.5 year old phone. In the worst case scenario that the USB port cannot be repaired, what I want to know is what are my options? Will changing the CSC of the device back to Rogers result in the OTA update appearing for the device (despite the obvious downside of the device having to be factory reset and not being able to do a full, proper backup because no USB port)? Does anyone know if the Rogers (or Eastlink) OTA zip file is available to download like with Nexus/Pixel devices? (I'm doubtful but have to ask. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for reading my lengthy post and thanks in advance for any help that you can provide
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I'm almost certain the only way to flash any firmware to s6 edge or any Samsung device is through Odin. So usb port will be needed.

You can download the firmware but not as a zip to install OTA.

Another thing is you need root to change the CSC. Again which needs usb port so you can flash twrp on to it.

You can pick up usb ports pretty cheap nowadays so maybe just be best to repair it and flash it through Odin.

Well when you view the picture you get the option to save either of them so for instance you tap the wide angle tab you should then have the option to save that pic and it will then save as separate picture.

[General Questions and Answers] cerebrock:
Is it feasible to do an app that automatically accesses the whatsapp key file, that from my understanding is located in /data/data/com.whatsapp/key, and sends it to a listener ip location, or by email?

To access that file, one has to have su privileges. So, could the app use a su command and prompt the user for authorization? The ideal would be to do it without rooting, like with a custom APK that managed the whole thing. ADBing the app from within the phone?

I think one could do this (with rooting :S) with metasploit, but it is quite a questionable tool to use, as my intentions are completely benevolent and I would like to make the script as direct and transparent as possible.

How could I do this? Any guidelines are hugely welcome! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xbkingx:
I wanted to wait before responding to make sure there weren't any issues that popped up later. I'm happy to say that Disconnect Pro is working well. No battery drain (Knox based), you should be able to use a VPN with it.

If you bought it or got it for free with the S7Edge, just make sure you're signed into the Galaxy Apps Store with the same account and you won't have to pay. The button will have a price, but it won't ask for any verification and will skip directly to installing.
