Is it possible to keep Root if I want to reloack the bootloader (for security and to avoid the "Your phone has been tampered with" screen when turning on the phone)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] NucDome:
I've got a Mini M8S II that I would like to put new software on. Problem is that I installed XTROM image, and then Libreelec, and somewhere along the line I've busted recovery.

I used to be able to hold the reset button in (on the underside of the box) when plugging the power in and I'd get to recovery, from which I could install an img file.

However when I do this now I just get the XTROM splash screen and it doesn't go into recovery.

The box still boots to Libreelec fine and I can SSH to the box so I'm thinking that I could use dd to install TWRP, or another recovery, but I've tried "dd if=/tmp/twrp.img of=/dev/block/recovery" but that hasn't helped, and I can't get into recovery.

Anyone know where I should dd the recovery image to to get me twrp back?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
I'm planning on rooting my Moto Z Play but staying on the stock ROM as it has better battery life (according to XDA members) compared to LineageOS. I also really like Moto Display and all of the other exclusive features to this ROM.

However, I still want to receive OTAs after doing so. I've read that an app called FlashFire can help me with this.

Question 1: Do the OTAs download even if your system is rooted? I've read that some phones do download the OTAs, but fail when the flashing starts as they have a custom recovery, while some phones don't even download at all once it detects that you're rooted.

Question 2: Will it work even if I have TWRP installed?

Thank you.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Hi i dont think you can receive OTAs after unlocking bootloader and iff you do they will fail on installation as you have said. Secondly in my opinion you are right and i have tried almost all the roms on here and by far the stock N is the best rom for fluidity battery life app compatibility etc so i went back to stock but the deodexed N debloated version because im rooted. Iff i were you i would not root at this time because i think Official Oreo is about to be released for our phone and it would be a good idea to hangon a while but that is entirely your choice.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Never really tested Flashify and FlashFire. If you succeed please write how it works, which steps to do to be on the safe side ;)

Download fine. Install fails, yes.

No. That's why I never install twrp, I just boot it when needed. You need a computer and a cable every time you want to start twrp, but recovery partition stays untouched using fastboot boot.

Idea is:

1. Take a backup of boot partition before rooting

2. Install the kernel you need to avoid f2fs problems, then Magisk. Both modifies the boot partition, nothing else.

When an OTA arrives, you restore your backup of boot partition and everything is stock. OTA is supposed to work fine.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
In theory, if I just run TWRP off from the PC and flash SuperSU on my phone without flashing TWRP, I would be rooted, right? And the OTAs would install, but I will lose root access?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
No. SuperSU modifies boot partition. OTA do not install while boot partition is modified.

You need to restore NANDROID backup of original stock boot partition prior to rooting, then you should be fine for install OTA.

---------- Post added at 11:45 ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 ----------

Just an additional hint: Modifying logo also prevents OTA. If you suppress that unlocked bootloader warning with a different logo, of course you need to restore the original logo partition before applying OTA.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
That's a pity. Oh well, I might just have to wait for Oreo.

Thanks a lot! :)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] astmacca:
"'Just an additional hint: Modifying logo also prevents OTA"

Actually...not my experience. I have an unlocked bootloader, flashed a stock rom file by file, except for logo.bin, which is a modded one to get rid of the annoying "untrustworthy" startup screen.

All worked well and recently got the OTA update all installed as normal by the system.

Will wait now to get the official oreo update before i muck around further.

Actually, on the 22-2-8 build on the phone now it runs really well and battery life is great. Getting over 2 days in my usage pattern easy.

Camera good as well. Got some nice photos of the local beach last night.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Greamos:
You can get back to stock, and get ota's :)

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Note: Lock of Bootloader is not required to get OTA update. It makes sure that you do no action which prevents OTA, but if you take care this does not happen (for instance not rooting which modifies system or boot partition), you eg can take advantage of Nandroid backup only booting TWRP for this purpose.

None of the other American providers still allow streaming video over 720p on Note 8. Sprint claims to. Has anyone gotten 1080p Netflix on Sprint Unlimited plan on Note 8 in LTE? (All providers allow it on wifi)

Thanks!

PS If you don't know how to check open netflix and search for video called test patterns. Make sure you are on LTE 4 or 5 bars. When you play video resolution is shown on upper right. You have to play it for a few minutes to see what max reaolution is)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
VZW screwed mye on my legacy plan. Still I would like to hear from someone who has the new plan. Thanks though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
I hear ya...that's why I left VZW...I tried to Screenshot but security settings would not let me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
Oh I trust u. I can't screenshot Netflix either. VZW lets me get to 1080p on lte for a minute then immediately drops me back to 720p. The thing is they swear they are not throttling legacy udp streaming but they definitely are. It might have to do more with how many people using the tower than signal strength because I'm still over 5mbps with 2bars and Netflix only needs 4.3 mbps to deliver 1080p.

In my area Sprint claims 4G LTE not Advanced LTE so I wonder if that is a strong enough signal?

I just went to power settings and removed optimization for "network" which I assume means VZW network. Is that what you did?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
My area is just 4G LTE...no Advanced...peak times getting 20 down regular times are about 10...coupled with my WiFi, download booster, 30 down at peak times...20 regular...but always getting hd if I want...sometimes I kick it to 720 just for smooth watching...for Netflix, I had to set the app setting to max data usage...my phone, I ensured the wqhd setting was all the way up...my optimization is off all the time...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
I only use phone for Netflix when no wifi is available. I connect to tv via hdmi and watch on tv so full 1080p on lte only is key.

I don't know what wqhd setting is

Hello. My significant other has a Moto Z (2016); to be clear, it isn't the Force, Droid, or Play. What charging port will TurboCharge the phone? Is it Quick Charge (QC) 2.0, QC 3.0, USB-C Power Delivery (PD), or something else entirely?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomtones:
After getting annoyed at missed calls (don't know if it was S2u2's fault, just testing) I decided to uninstall S2U2 using the PPC's 'remove programs'...

However, on an SMS or reminder, I get a pop-up saying something like:

"Error starting windows\start menu\S2U2.lnk"

Tried searching the reg for S2U2 but couldn't find anything - anything else I can do to stop this error?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
You need to go into your windows startup folder and delete s2u2 and ilock from there. That should sort out the recurring errors.

If you want to remove all traces of S2U2 then also go into Programs folder and delete the folder with S2U2 in it. Take great care here that you are removing the right folder or you may screw up your device.

If you don't know what you are doing then please don't try this.

You can flash vendor, boot, and system images using TWRP then root again. However, bootloader and radio must be flashed either as a zip in TWRP or via fastboot. Bootloader and radio images cannot be flashed via the TWRP "image install." It is recommended that you flashed radio and bootloader through fastboot.

If it's stock you like could always flash SuperXe . 8.1 versions are latest stock and 8.0 is built from stock source with latest security. All of which are flashable via twrp. On a side note pick yourself up cheap otg cable so you can backup your files on thumb drive. Makes it real easy if you have to completely wipe your phone.

When displaying a pure black image on the p2 the bottom left 1/3 of screen has a slight yellow glow to it when you look at it in a dark room. The same area looks more warmer than the rest when displaying grey. Anyone else noticed this? From searching around I've seen complaints about similar issues on some other amoled screens on nokia,oneplus, lg etc. So much for amoled showing pure black, if you want that it looks like you have to get a samsung phone. It's still better when compared to IPS but the uneven tone can be annoying.

Hey everyone,

could someone tell me which class of micro SD card the Moto Z2 force supports?

In all the recommendation blog posts they offer UHS-I class 1 or class 3 cards. I even saw a UHS-II class 3 card recommended once.

As usual you can't (easily) find information on these specific specs.

Does somebody know up to which class is supported?

Kind regards
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] enetec:
UHS-II are not used at their max speed, so I would go with fastest UHS-I Samsung or Sandisk. With Lexar I had a lot of issues with my old Griffin (which should have same specs...) :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info.

I asked a Motorola rep online when I bought the Moto Z and he told me that it doesn't support UHS-I cards.

But now it should be able to use UHS-I class 3 cards I hope.

I'm still trying to figure out what options need to be set for Greenify to work at its optimum.

I'm running a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" Tablet running stock Lollipop 5.0.2. The device is rooted with SuperSU 2.82 SR5 and using Xposed 87.1 SDK 21 custom by dkcldark. Currently running Greenify 3.8.5 stable.

Since I'm rooted I understand that I do not need to enable Accessibility Services, but I am unsure about "Device Administrator" and "Apps with access to usage data", both of which are not currently enabled.

Does this sound right to everyone else? :confused:

Device administrator is only needed if you want Greenify to lock the device following manual hibernation (ie: via widget/activity). Not certain about access to usage data. It's enabled on some of my devices but not others (all rooted/Xposed). I don't recall being prompted or fiddling with this setting. Also not mentioned in developers FAQs. Bit of a head scratcher.

Some of you have some issues to flash this, follow my steps what i did on my XZs and it works for sure and do a clean install.

1- flash oreo fw with flashtool

2- unplug your phone after flashing is end but don't turn on device.

hold VOL-UP and plug phone againe to PC. (fastboot mode)

Install this with fastboot:

3- flash recovery.img

4- flash boot.img

=================

5- unplug your XZ then boot to recovery. hold VOL-DOWN + POWER

6- flash drmfix

7-flash magisk

8- reboot your device...

9- now you can setup your new firmware pre-rooted and drmfixed

10- enter recovery

11- flash deodex patch

12- reboot
