[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carbon Code Man:
Hi all,

I have in my possession a Galaxy S7 that is a "secured". Developer mode is restricted. No wifi. Can't install 3rd party apps. No Play store. Can't install APKs via the SD card, nor Android Studio.

Images of the phone is here: imgur.com/a/r7XLf

State of the phone is the following:

No adb, no access to wifi, I can use OTG cables to plugin in USB drives, Bluetooth devices work, and no developer options

Rebooting the device with volume down and power brings me into Odin Mode (see screenshot 1), not much happens, I just force restart it, and we're okay again.

(adb and fastboot does not detect the phone in this state).

Rebooting with Volume UP and power and home button, will bring me into a Custom TWRP with only Reboot and Wipe.

(adb and fastboot does not detect the phone in this state)

My goal is to be able to access the filesystem in some form to retrieve data on a device, or dual boot the system, then get access to the secured partition. If I can root the devices, that's better. I am allowed to break the phone open if needed.

Alternatively, if I can get adb installed or be able to use my computer's ADB to connect to the phone, and then run commands to do some backups of apps, that is probably the best thing I am looking for.

What are my options? I am okay with doing tasks that can brick the phone. This is purely an exercise to see if I can get into this secure phone.

Just wondering if you can use the Kaiser's ICS to get on the internet with a tethered Asus Eee PC?

I'm due to pick one up to take abroad on Saturday (Eee PC) but it'll be about as much use as t1ts on a fish if i can't connect via my Kaiser to t'internet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
why not? Just install Wifirouter on the Kaiser. If you are going to convert it to WinXP, you could do that by BT and USB too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fingery:
I was hoping ICS on the Kaiser would be workable as i've not got a copy of wmrouter and it looks like it's been pulled from here
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andycat:
I have the same problem. I've installed a lite version of XP, but can't install Activesync or any usb drivers for my Kaiser, therefore can't connect through my phone!

Any ideas? There is no bluetooth on these eee's, but there is wifi.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
hi, i see a bunch of stuff for the 7 and 10 inch model but pretty much none for the 8 inch model.

Can i use the same techniques/files for the other models on the 8 inch (SM-t330NU specifically) to root?

EDIT: not exactly, but i took a leap of faith and I was able to root my device on android 4.4 using android 5.1.1 files. But i had to factory reset because i got black screen on desktop. Your recovery would also be based on 5.1.1. Also DO NOT CLEAR CACHE IN RECOVERY, you will get black screens and force closes., reflashing stock rom or reflashing the same cf auto root file will fix it.

[Huawei Watch] cruz20538:
Hey, I'm relatively new to XDA so please excuse any mistakes I may make, or might have made. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes. I was wondering if it's at all possible to set a limit to the charge level of my Huawei Watch, similar to how I've done with my phone using the "Battery Charge Limit" (.apk), and if at all possible how to go about doing it. I've searched the forums and haven't found anything similar to this, hence a new post. I'm not super tech savvy, but I've managed to root my phone, and can generally follow a guide pretty well, if that's worth anything.

Thanks in advance.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shrey.jain:
I am using Honor 6x. Is there a way to disable any sort of lock from lock screen but still be able to use fingerprint to lock certain apps?

Also is it possible to add multiple fingerprints and be able to unlock the "safe" in file manager only when i use 2-3 fingers in a sequence. What i mean to say is suppose i registered index finger of left and right hand. So i want the safe to unlock only when i place right index first and then the left index. Not with any 1 finger.I don't know coding so it would be better if anyone can make an app or a MOD to be flashed.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
You should be able to disable lock screen and still use the fingerprint to unlock protected apps from device manager app, once locked... For your second question, setting a fingerprint sequence for unlock isn't possible (actually).

I started using Substratum recently for dark themes, trying several, but somewhere along the way my notifications began showing as white text on a light gray background, rendering them close to unreadable.

Main changes:

Notification: Notifications have been modernized, it will now display the app icon instead of a number saying the amount of notifications you have.

Shortcuts: Slightly changes, a tad skinnier

Settings: Some features moved to different categories. New "Alexa" category.

Exploit changes:

Launcher Hijack: I don't know why but it seems to work better on the new update

Hidden Changes:

New "Tabletsubscriptions" app:

•Create accounts and set passwords

find accounts on device

•Full network access

view connections

•Automatically launch at startup

•com.amazon.kor.demo.provider.permission.READ_PROVIDER

I'm interested in giving the Launcher Hijacker a shot on the new Fire HD 10 I got yesterday (gotta love CamelCamelCamel for letting me know the price dropped) but my tablet has already updated itself to 5.6.0.0 and now I don't see an option under Accessibility for "To detect home button press". First, any idea if Launcher Hijacker will still work if I don't have that option, and second, if I do need to enable that, any idea where it's moved to?

Thanks.

I can also hide all of those annoying Amazon Apps that I DON'T use (I know you can do this in Nova Launcher..) without having to pay for the nova Launcher. As far as launcher aesthetics, I prefer Evie the most but Apex performs the best for me and is clean in the terms of options if provides.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bkortleven:
Hi,

I recently had a Magician shipped which seemed fine the first day of use, but at the end of the day, the gsm radio icon showed me a no reception, or 'service unavailable' message...

Now, after upgrading the Rom's (several used) and Radio update to the latest one (1.13 as far as I can see), I don't have any reception or 'service' at all...

The gsm radio always shows the '!' marker...

Anyone any idea where to look?

Loose cable, loose or bad antenna, software/rom issue?

Any ideas are welcome!

This device will be my test-unit for xanadux, but I want to make sure it's functional before testing stuff and debugging things that will never work because of a hardware or firmware issue...

Thanks guys!

Great work, super forum!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mariner_heart:
this is clearly a hardare malfunction. your device may not be identifying the sim card.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bkortleven:
thanks for the quick response, but I don't think it's the SIM-slot that is causing me troubles... The SIM card can be read without any problem, and the pin code is asked and aknowledged by the phone. Once in a while I get coverage, but it always looks like 1 bar maximum, while my Trinity is lying next to it, same operator, and all 5bars of coverage notification are there, so it's not that I'm in a dead zone or black spot where there's no cell coverage at all.

I checked the upper back part (after removing the plastic casing top) and checked where the antenna is connected. Once, while holding and pushing onto the metal part that looks like the antenna extension, I got (just for 5 seconds that is) a connection, and signal level of 1-2 bars, but that dropped and stopped after a few seconds already...

I think it's a connection issue of some kind, internal antenna or the connection to it, but I'm not that keen on taking the unit apart to find out it's not that easy to sort the issue out...

Any help, info, ... can help...

Thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mariner_heart:
the metal plate just below the top-backside plastic panel acts like the antenna.On top side of it there are two legs which connect to the mainboard.try cleaning the two spots on mainboard and the contacts of antenna.

well, i can say this because i solved this problem once this way.

good luck.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bkortleven:
Well, I tried what you mentioned: scratched and cleaned the squares on the pcb, straightened the connecting metal parts from the back plate, cleaned all contacts: no solution...

Any other ideas?

Possibly a sort of switch which makes the device choose between internal or external antenna? What external antenna might fit?

Thanks guys!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bkortleven:
Well,

I got my hands on a 'broken' I-mate Jam (got stuck between the car door, screen is totally broken, pcb is fine) and replaced the antenna block: FULL RECEPTION...

at least, for half an hour.. after that: reception dropped, and again left me with the "!" mentioning "no service"

I tried switching the pcb's but for some odd reason, the screen didn't come up good... The backlight didn't turn on and the screen was all striped and smeared...

Is there a difference in pcb versions, connectors, screens?

I thought Magcian = Magician, but now I'm thinking there are different models around there...

Bon... so I'm looking for a pcb of a Qtek S100 now... to switch that one with mine, and see if that helps...

really strange the reception was 'perfect' for about an hour, I even succeeded in making calls with it! No jitter, no drops, perfect reception, and then: BONK, over with it... nothing left...

Any ideas on this one, or any ideas on how to get the I-mate's pcb working in my Qtek?

Thanks guys for the info and help!

Lenovo File Manager

v3.6.31.160418.16e9152

for Lenovo Tab 3 8"/TB3-850F​

DESCRIPTION:

Unfortunately, many OEMs these days ship devices which are devoid of a comprehensive file manager application pre-installed. As such, file managers are one of the most downloaded apps on Google's Play Store. This is a stock file manager which was taken from a Motorola Moto G (4th Gen), and is fully compatible with the Tab 3 8". Simply enable "Unknown Sources" under SETTINGS>>SECURITY, download the apk from the below link, and install it on your tablet. (NOTE: In order to access your external micro SD card or USB OTG storage, you will need to grant the appropriate storage permissions to the Lenovo File Manager when prompted to do so).
