Hello,

Is it possible to root SM-G900F's stock Lollipop or MM rom without tripping knox? (Except Alexndr ROM's method)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hello,

I wish it was possible but as far as I know it is not. From Android 5.1+ you can have either KNOX 0x0 without root or root with KNOX 0x1.

When you find a working solution for Android 6.0.1+root+KNOX 0x0 let me know :)

I found this from another thread and tested at My MOTO X2 having 8.0 OS, i took a Risk but i had proper backup, so please backup before testing but i think at 8.0 Custom ROMS it works fine.. Anything wanna know about X2 just ping me...

Hit Thanks if Like :)

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
I just bought an honor 8 and I read somewhere that it now will no longer be receiving any further updates and no upgrade to Oreo. Is this by chance 100 percent correct? Amy info on this would be greatly appreciated. If it will not be receiving any further updates from Honor then I may return it. I just am not sure what's true on this. Thanks for the help on this.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KoumiCZ:
This is not true. Huawei has not officially confirmed or refuted anything. But I would personally prefer Honor 9 at this time, the price is not so much higher than Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
Yeah but I personally don't think we will ever see the Honor 9 in the US. My prediction is that we will get the Honor 8 Pro here in December before Christmas. Just a gut feeling as the Honor 8 name is already so widely known here that it just makes sense that they will feed off the Honor 8 name and release the pro model of next here. I just wonder about the current honor 8 and if it will in fact get more updates.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
It Will receive further updates
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
That's good to know. How do you know this for sure though. It's that a definite? There is another thread that talks about the honor will now no longer be receiving updates. Was curious how you knew for sure?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
Atm i'm running the B394 rom and on Firmware finder there are already B350, B351 and B135 Roma (all beta) so an update is coming soon.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
That's really good to hear. I'm glad to know that. I thought it was the end for the honor 8 to be honest.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
Seems like after doing a lot of research on various forums the majority of people say the honor 8 will definitely keep receiving updates for a while to come. That's a very good thing bc I just bought my third honor 8 and this time I plan to keep it long term. I typically go through a lot of phones testing out new gear. I finally decided that the honor 8 is my all time favorite phone which I do not consider EMUI to be Android at all. In fact it's nothing like Android. It's so unique and different I've said many times in the past that EMUI could easily be branded and marketed as a third major mobile software choice in the industry. I believe since they could not be connected to IOS they were forced to be thrown in with Android but it's nothing remotely like pure android at all or what so ever. In fact I find EMUI to be as smooth interface wise as apple IOS where most Android interface with skins are rather choppy and sticky. Not EMUI as it's butter smooth and very fluid. Huawei Honor has definitely created a unique hybrid software that it cannot be compared to anything at all. It's in a league of its own and as soon as they officially entered the US market full blown watch how fast they over take Samsung for the top spot. The interface of the software is a joy to use. Zero lag at all. It's as fluid as IOS so there is no doubt it will fast become the most popular in the Android world if they don't decide to Branch out and brand their own software to be labeled as the third major software choice within the mobile industry. I can't wait until they enter the US market and I believe within two to three years they will be equal too or above Samsung for the top spot world wide. It'll be interesting to watch take place. As long as they stay true to their core roots in terms of pricing with high end budget phones such as the honor 8 and leave the Huawei side as their premium flagship phones there is no way they won't over take Samsung. Huawei honor is deep with their variety of offerings with the likes for example the honor 8 which is a very affordable phone but it indeed has flagship specs and a awesome camera. I hope their next US release for honor is the honor 8 pro. It has a 5.7 inch display and would be a great media phone for movies and YouTube and such. I'd love to have one to rotate out with my honor 8. The reason I believe the honor 8 pro will be their next US honor release is bc the honor 8 is already widely known in the US so it makes sense for them to keep feeding off the honor 8 name and release the pro model next.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Mastertherm:
Why will Honor 8 not get the Oreo update? It's last year Honor's flagship, every flagship gain two next androids versions at least...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
Just what I had been reading on other forums and here lead me to that. I now think it will. I excited to know this now.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Procrustinator:
I don't know if we will get Oreo. However, in regards to general updates, my FRD-L14 just received the B389 update today. I think it mainly just updates security to the Oct 5th patch, at least it is an update.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dconn1975:
I sure hope we get Oreo. Technically we should and I really think it would be a bad business decision on Huawei honors part not to give the honor 8 oreo due to how close it is before they enter the US market full blown and officially. They don't want to enter this market on a bad note. Plus this is honors flagship phone for the US. They would loose a ton of US customer support if they choose not to update this phone to Oreo. They didn't climb up to number two in the world based off of bad decisions for their customers so I think we will get it but it will be very late to the party getting it.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ArmandoTTV:
Good afternoon, I have one question.

I have Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) A510F and my android is crap..my free memory is 300-400mb of 2GB. What should I install a Custom ROM that would improve my battery, performance, and more memory?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
Hi, this really depends on few points...

As battery view, you'll lose battery if rom have :

- a lot of features (sometimes this is false, but it depends of rom optimization)

- overclocked kernel (often the problem)

- features that are battery faults like "Always on Display"

As performance and memory view :

- If you want to keep TouchWiz interface: I recommend you to find a "almost" stock rom with debloated apps

- If you want to get AOSP based rom like LineageOS, RR, AOSCP, etc...: This type of rom are already debloated and the ones that don't have a lot of customs (like LineageOS, AOSCP) are more memory friendly

By the way, i'll soon release a AOSP rom for A5 (on the A3 this rom use approximately 770MB on 1.5GB so ~600MB remaining for apps)

Edit: another source that consumes RAM is gapps because they are h24 running
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ArmandoTTV:
Okay i need more ram
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
Ok, actually you can use debloated rom, it's the easier way I think.

For AOSP, I work on it...
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] [GS]:
Great news :) are you working on AOSP (like nexus stock rom) or Lineage?

take your time, if you need tester i can test.

Thank you for spent your time for A5 2016 users :)

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

im using Stock rom,Debloated and deodex, im happy with my ram usage and battery life!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
I actually work on CypherOS for A5 because it's pretty light and fast to build.

When CypherOS will get stable, then i'll build LineageOS, RR, SlimROM, and all that community wants :)

Just need a starting rom with stable device-tree ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] [GS]:
Look Amazing, Just a nob question: Are published all kernel source for A5?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] :
Yes, they are.

Official and un-touch sources are on opensource.samsung.com

And AOSP sources are on https://github.com/Exynos7580
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] XenRon:
If your performance is fine, there's nothing to worry about. However, if it lags really bad over time, you can run this command "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". This would clear the ram cache and free up some ram. This is not really recommended as it may shorten you battery life since android would regenerate the cache again over time.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Bryan48765:
300-400mb of free ram is OK. RAM is usually only a problem if applications are closed. Usually you'll have to choose between performance and battery life, which requires a specialized (not any-purpose) custom rom. To improve both, you could check wakelocks, cpu use, etc, and prevent apps(actually prevent - if an app restarts after it gets closed, the restart wastes resources, battery and performance) that you don't want running in the background from running in the background. If you do want it running in the background, but are worried about the free ram, the built-in android oom killer(configurable) should release those apps if ram is needed.

The stock rom and kernel ramdisk could usually be customized to meet your goal. What's missing, battery life? Burst performance? Extended performance(gaming, etc)? The GPU bars are supposed to be under 60fps because that's the refresh rate of your screen.

An example: what I see as an acceptable trade of performance to battery life, is disabling touchboost(resets after reboot)

echo "0" > /sys/class/input_booster/level

This increases battery life at the mild expense of 'burst' performance. You could do lots of other things: underclock cpu/gpu(up to a set limit); overclock/uv undervolt(requires custom kernel); modify 'siop_arm_max' for extended performance at the expense of battery life, and life expectancy of various components (battery?); debloat.

Hey. I am looking a custom rom for Yoga Tab 2 (10.1" 1050F), but I have not had any luck finding any. I have seen similar topics in here XDA about people searching the exact same thing I am, but no body really knew if there is one available. Currenty I'm using the stock ROM (5.01) but I would like to update it to at least 6.X or newer.

Any links or so is highly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

I hear your pain I have 2 yogas and love them. It's sad there is nothing available for these little powerhouses. Apparently the Intel chip is very hard to work with. If I had the knowledge I would be willing to experiment on one of them. At least there is a way to install SuperSU and gain temp TWRP. If you do a little search there is a Exposed Mod available for the multi window feature that allows you to add any app as a multi window.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
I want to preface this with the fact that I don't own the LS997 model, so I was not able to test any of this personally.

You guys can thank [MENTION=5264454]loopytee[/MENTION] for taking one for the team. Root for the LS997 can now be accomplished on firmware up to and including ZV7. He risked his phone since we couldn't find someone that had root already to help. Luckily it paid off. You guys need to hit his thanks button as much as possible. Takes some kahunas to blind flash another model's firmware.

ZV8 incremented the ARB version, so this will not work on ZV8 and up.

With that said...

Download patched LG UP: link

Download VS995 KDZ: link

Flash using partition DL (select ALL partitions)

Root using the VS995 root method: link

At this point you will have root, but you will still have the Verizon firmware.

Download this zip: link SHA1 hash: b5a383558561425a41439de1b764e286f963526a

and flash it in TWRP. This is the ZV7 firmware. It is everything except system. If someone can get me the stock ZV7 system, I will include it.

After flashing, you need to flash an LS997 ROM, and if you don't want static, flash one of the custom kernels that has the static issue fixed.

Also, before leaving TWRP, you need to FORMAT data. NOT wipe. You will be prompted to type YES if you have chose the correct option. If you skip this, you will be prompted to enter a code, and have 10 tries.

Feel free to flash any LOS based ROM, but know that they don't work well with ZV7 firmware. They make modifications to the writable parts of the modem firmware (modemst1, st2, or misc), and you can lose signal. So, you also might want to use LG UP to dump your entire phone so that you have those parts of the firmware that are unique to your phone, and can flash them back if you have problems. My recommendation, stay away from LOS based ROMs until someone steps up to be a full time dedicated dev for LOS on the V20.

What is the latest current version? Still ZVA?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] loopytee:
Make sure when you get it to go into developer mode immediately and turn off auto update. If it updates you can't root...YET.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
If I am wrong, someone with a Sprint phone can chime in, but I believe ZVA is the latest. I have a dump of ZVA, but since it is ARB 1, even though you would keep TWRP and root, you DO NOT want to upgrade to it.

As long as you are on a firmware that is ARB 0, then you can use the VS995 KDZ to fix your phone if you really get into a bind. If you flashed the ZVA firmware and got into a pickle, you would only be able to use a KDZ that was ARB 1, and NONE of them are rootable, so you would have a phone that would boot, but not be able to make phone calls, and no way to fix that.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeorgeDachamp:
Any chance of a roll back to zv9 from zva
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Nope. It is my humble opinion that ARB is something that can not be defeated without a physical modification to the phone -- a piece of hardware between the NAND and the CPU that would intercept the boot process from the PBL and give it the return values that it is looking for.

Alternatively, if we could either burn a new RSA key into the CPU, or extract the existing one, and brute force the RSA cert, so that we could sign our own XBL...

-- Brian

So you're stuck at the logo when starting up after flashing the appropriate VS995 KDZ file? Have you tried flashing it again? If it flashed successfully and you're still stuck, then maybe you could try a factory reset: With the phone off, hold down both power and volume down button until you see the white screen asking for a reset (note: this button combination procedure will slightly change after you're done unlocking the bootloader).

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] crumbling9999:
If anyone's interested, the ZV7 modem works on Oreo F800L20i, doesn't seem to have any issues with reception or stability after a few days of usage. Just follow the usual rooting procedure until TWRP is flashed, then reboot into Download Mode, and flash an Oreo KDZ, unticking aboot. When it finishes flashing, hold vol- so it boots into fastboot, then immediately flash TWRP + ZV7 modem, reboot into TWRP using the button combo, then flash Magisk + mk2000 kernel. Might also work on US99620a/VS99520a and other Oreo firmware, but I went with the Korean ROM because its the most up to date + I had it on hand already to flash my F800L. You can de-Korean the ROM with a few build.prop changes, and using Titanium Backup to nuke bloatware (LGU+ version has a lot, might want to try the F800S or F800K image instead).

Big warning though, if you flash the F800 KDZ, there's a good chance you can no longer go back to US996-based ROMs (VS995 are fine), they'll just enter a restart loop after booting. Still, the trade-off is getting regular security updates which is pretty huge, the F800 is on 20K now, while the rest of the world is 20a. If you don't want to full commit, just use a US99620a or VS99520a KDZ, same process apply.

not sure what i forgot to do correctly

So i was able to successfully flash VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz coming from ls997-zv7 using the modified lgup, I got the message about entering the pin on the initial bootup (somehow started on 7 out of 10 tries), factory reset the phone and managed to get to the initial setup process on the verizon VS99512A firmware, but now i cant seem to get my gmail account to successfully authenticate and log in on the v20.

Its requesting to be signed in on an account that was previously synced on the device (there were two emails previously used on this phone, cant get either one to authenticate (with correct login information entered of course). Im getting the pin number sent to another device, im entering it correctly over and over and over, it just wont allow me to be logged in. Any ideas on what i might have overlooked? Should i attempt to factory reset again in the verizon rom? I wasnt expecting to get stuck on something this trivial, and dont understand why the pin numbers i have no problem receiving aren't allowing me to sing in on the phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
