[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drewskiwooski:
Hello, I'll get straight to the point.

I've been itching to root my phone since I got it back in launch. I have verizon sm-n950u android version 7.1.1 which to my understanding means nougat. NOW I am a casual rooter, I watch tutorial videos and read how-to threads over and over and over and still manage to miss a crucial/key step and get stuck in a bootloop of some sort before coming here, begging for help via thread resurrection, or just with more searching but with random key words.

I ask you, anyone who is able and willing, help. I'm ready to root, yes I can/have read some of the posts, but the terminology in some of them are not noob friendly. A lot of it assumes I should already know the basics but really I don't. I can work my way around odin, but that's about it. Normally i'd be all over anything freeza makes but he's moved on to a different phone now it seems, no more samsung.

I'm hoping someone can help me to pretty much root and get xposed framework. All the roms are very nice but are a bit too advanced for me atm because I dont know what any of the features they have mean.

Thanks and sorry for the rambling post that you probably all get all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] VerucaSalt:
Hi. Not to discourage you but you may wish to know that if you root, you will trip Knox and lose access to Secure Folder and Samsung Pay.

No way to get them back.

Which modules in xposed do you want/need?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Wrong. He is Snapdragon. Warranty bit isnt tripped. so returning to stock gets back secure folder and sammy pay no problems. Also Xposed DOES NOT WORK on Snapdragon models at the moment. Anyway Also agree with you that he shouldnt root. If he doesnt understand even half of whats said on a fairly noob free guide then its not for him.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wase4711:
OP, do you even know WHY you want to root?

What is in Xposed, that you need so bad?

Like the other posters here, I agree; there is NO WAY you should mess with your 1000 dollar phone until you gain ALOT more knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
We do not discuss lucky patcher on XDA...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drewskiwooski:
Hey sorry for the late response(currently at youmacon) and I appreciate the thoughtful replies. As I think I mentioned. I've been a fan of freeza's work I've rooted my past phones with his beast mode kernels. I might have overplayed my ignorance, but it's mostly because the lingo itself can be rather daunting, especially when looking at all the amazing roms being released.

I want exposed so I can try to get at least SOME of the features back that i had on my note 3. An app that cant be named itself is enough for me to root. Idk what the Samsung folder thing is and I don't intend to use Samsung pay either. I'm not all that afraid of tripping Knox, I'm more afraid of being stuck in a boot loop.

Edit: had to re-send this without mentioning a certain app. That was my bad mods and admin, I was unaware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Xposed still doesnt work :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] drewskiwooski:
So I'm still waiting anyway lol. So at this point there's really no reason for a guy like me to root. Most of what I wanted all came from xposed.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time, you dudes are helpful as always.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juoliveirabhmg:
Hi guys, how are you? I need an orientation.

I rebooted my tablet, n8000, without his memory card and he got on the lineage screen and did not call anymore.

I thought something might have corrupted the system, so I reinstalled the lineageOS, the gaapp, but nothing happens. I refined the odin process, reinstalling the images, but it does not care about anything. Sometimes, when you exit the LineageOs home screen, it says that you should reset the tablet, but it will not accept the function.

I'm not sure what to do because it does not work anymore.

I do not understand any of this, but I succeeded by changing rom and root

I think it should reset and start over, all over again. I can not do this. If there is a Brazilian, or someone who can write in Portuguese, I would be happy to help, because my English is very bad

thanks

[General Questions and Answers] zipperhead46163:
I just purchased an Artatech Inkbook Prime eINK Display book reader that is really a Tablet running Android 4.2.2 . Arm 7 Kernel version 3.0.36 ARM cortex - A9 CPU Both root checker and CPU-Z show that it has root access. I was surprised to see that it came already rooted brand new from Amazon Store. It came with Amazon Appstore but not Google Play store. It also seems to have a very limited recovery mode that I can get in to by holding the power and lower right button down when powering on. I would like to know if anyone has or would know how to install TWRP and also the minimum GAPPS package to get the google play store working on it? It is a really great ereader but I would love to be able to update the Android version to something newer. I have ADB installed on a Windows 10 laptop and have used it to flash a few Samsung phones but cant seem to find any information on how to install a compatible version of GAPPS on it. Open Gapps only seems to go back to Android version 4.4 not 4.2.2
[General Questions and Answers] chickenrib:
I am using an Android 4.2 eReader(Boyue T61) similar to Inkbook Prime. As I konw, there is not TWRP for your device. However, I can cracked the stock recovery to disable signature verification, so you can install custom zip package to your device through adb sideload. I also can help you install Google Play for Android 4.2.

Before doing that, you should dump recovery and system partition(Can adb get root permission?):

busybox dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

busybox dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img

Then you will find recovery.img and system.img on the internal storage, share it to me.

Apparently there is no soft reset button on Niki. Can a soft reset be done by press and hold the camera button and then press power on?

If not, does anyone know a trick to soft reset Niki?

I need to know because the upcoming Sim unlocker, which is based on Kaiser Sim unlocker, requires a soft reset.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] gfreek:
the soft reset button is located near the mini usb connection you have to access it by taking the back cover off and press with the stylus at an 45 degree angle!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] JeffersonSoares:
MIUI V8 XPERIA Z2 UB GLOBAL 7.9.7 GLOBAL 6.0.1 BASED ON STOCK ROM 291

NO CHINESE APPS

ROOT MAGISK V9

GAPPS INCLUDED

NO FCS PLAY STORE AND PLAY SERVICES

FAST AND STABLE

QUICK CHAGE 100% WORKING

BEST PERFORMANCE BATERY

SONY MUSIC AND ALBUM INCLUDED

MI CAMERA APP INCLUDED

APPS TITANIUM BACKUP AND MX PLAYER PRO INCLUDED

Installation Tutorial:

For better battery efficiency and better performance a clean installation or first flash to Stock 291 flashtools by flashtools, do not need to roote again just extract the kernel file from Miui ROM and flash via flashtools / fastfood kernel already comes with recovery, start at recovery mode and select factore reset done this select the file MIUI8_6.0.1_D6503_by_JeffSoares_UB.zip and flash.

The first boot takes a while, after you start install the file GMSCore.apk give the necessary permissions to the application and ready to just enjoy your ROM miui

Tips:

1°Xposed is 100% functional but I have had better battery performance without the xposed.

2°If your device is with BL vc you can install the ROM and after flash select only the kernel file in flashtools and flash it will start without problems but without root.

3°Quick Charge 2.0 can be flashed shortly after the ROM started or during installation without having to change the kernel but only functional for UB devices.

4°If you are in a nougat ROM you can install without problems but need to flash the apps_log.sin file with flashtools in case of bootloop.

Open the stockrom.ftf with any zip manager (Winrar, 7-Zip), extract apps_log.sin from it and then flash it using Flashtools. That's easy man. Pls don't be afraid. Perhaps works with you.

Try to perform the step above. I recommend just to try force reboot by pressing power&vol+ until the screen goes off

or may be its not working in d6502 which i have
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Adriano-A3:
Maybe is that. Here (BR) we have D6503 or D6543. IDK if this has something to do...

Try to wipe cache and dalvik, force reboot and flash apps_log.sin from stock rom.

In the other hand there is a zip known as bootloopfix... find it and flash it.

On MIUI 8 thread created by [MENTION=5150631]Laz[/MENTION], there is a file specifically to D6502. Try to flash it too.

These is options. Try one by one.

My Note 8 is having a problem with charging. It stops charging at 96%. When the battery reaches 96%, the red/orange led indicating the charging is off. I check the battery setting and still see the thunderbolt symbol and the "charger connected" text.

I have to unplug and replug the charger and let the screen on to make the phone fully charge (100%) but the led notification is not green. Usually, for my Samsungsung phone, the led will turn green when the battery is full.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloshnmosh:
/data/system/recent_tasks

/data/system/recent_images

Perhaps I should explain....the recent_tasks folder lists every single activity a user does along with time stamps.

The recent_images folder contains actual (internal) screenshots of your device every time a task or app goes to background and can contain sensitive information.

(When I first looked inside it had a screenshot of my last open contact that contained the persons name and full phone number. It would have also showed the contacts profile pic had I assigned them one)

You can keep these sensitive folders from being written to if you have root by changing the folders ownership with the "chown" command like so: chown root:root /data/system/recent_images

after you remove all the data inside with: rm /data/system/recent_images/*

Do the same for recent_tasks.

(And while your at it you may want to do the same to a folder with the name DROPBOX in the same directory as it contains error messages that could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in your device)

Hello there, I have just bought a Mi A1 for my father and get notified on system update (October patch that is over 1 GB of size). However, download seems to never progress even though I have an internet connection. Is it possible to download the update using PC, put it somewhere on the phone directory and use the System Update to flash it? My father doesn't want to get his phone bootloader unlocked and rooted.

He also already experienced SIM card not being detected twice over two days which require phone reboot to make it detect it again (SIM card is at slot 1, SD card is at slot 2). Is there any known problems and workaround with this device regarding that issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hey you can try flashing the latest rom through mi flash tool. This is will not make any change to your bootloader status.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sourbear:
I keep getting notifications of MMS failures... when trying to retrieve and trying to send. When this occurs, I check the APN listing and notice instead of just one APN, my carrier's APN has been automatically duplicated and sometimes triplicated but with missing info in the new APNs such as maybe the MMS proxy or the port will be missing from these new automatically added APN entries - and also the phone has automatically changed to one of the new "bad" APNs. I delete the "bad" APNs, leaving the "good" one and everything works. Few hours later, it does it again. And sometimes it won't do it again at all until I reboot the phone. I just had to go through the process of deleting two new "bad" automatic APN additions because an MMS I was trying to send failed. Checked the APN list and sure enough, the phone had triplicated my carrier's APN and changed itself to use one of those. Deleted both of them and MMS working again. This is really getting annoying. I'm on Cricket Wireless (owned by AT&T using AT&T towers). I just did the Network Settings Reset and when I did that, once it reset everything, sure enough there were two APNs listed for my same carrier and one of them was missing the MMS proxy address. I selected the "good" one and sent a test MMS and it failed. I went back into the APN list and deleted the "bad" one, retried the MMS and it worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mmercad4:
I'm also not receiving mms but I am on Sprint. How did you access the apn list?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JaybirdOSU:
I'm seeing the exact same behavior on my mother-in-law's new Pixel 2 on Cricket. My wife and I both have Pixel 2 XLs on Cricket. I see the duplcation/triplication on our phones as well, but so long as the correct APN is selected, MMS messages send. On the Pixel 2, I also have to delete the "bad" APNs that are missing the MMS proxy and port in order to get MMS to work.

Are these APNs pulled from the SIM or does the SIM connect to Cricket and then download APN information? I'd just like to know if this is a Google problem or a Cricket problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sourbear:
Definitely seems to be an issue with Cricket. I've since left Cricket and went to Google's ProjectFi. No problems now and using the Pixel 2 XL's eSIM. I posted about the issue on Google's Help Forums and see there's others having the same issue, all with Cricket. Could be Cricket's SIM cards, could be the Pixel not reading them correctly.

I kind of figured the post on the Google forums was you as well. Unfortunately, Project Fi service doesn't work well enough where I live to be an alternative.

Glad I'm not alone on this one.
