Hello!

I'm trying to create a very small bash script. I'm new to this field and can't figure out how to make it work properly, so please bare with me. Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong section.

Basically the script is made to hide/unhide some packages with just opening the .sh file.

I did manage to make it work but only after I type exit and press enter. It runs the commands and then I have to type exit again (2nd time). I want it to do this by itself.

This is the script:

#!/system/bin/sh

su

pm unhide com.android.vending

echo "Vending Unhidden"

pm unhide com.google.android.gms

echo "GMS Unhidden"

pm unhide com.google.android.configupdater

echo "CFGU Unhidden"

pm unhide com.google.android.gsf

echo "GSF Unhidden"

pm unhide com.google.android.partnersetup

echo "PSetup Unhidden"

pm unhide com.android.providers.downloads

echo "Downloads Unhidden"

exit

Could someone please help me with this? Thank you in advance!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kampfgans:
Hi together,

due to the great price for the phone via Sprint, there are several pretty cheap ones also on ebay. I want to use the phone only outside the US (Germany) - is there any problem when it is locked to Sprint? Few years ago i imported a Verizon Locked Photon Q, and as i remember it was fully usable outside the US.

The ebay listing also includes the IMEI of the phones, and when i check them, they are "Clean on Sprint". But does that mean that they are locked? And if so, can i somehow unlock the phone, when i am in Germany and not on a Sprint Network?

Sorry about the confusion, i dont really get you phone locking stuff in the US :P

Best regards and thank you so much in advance!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
If the phone is truly still locked to Sprint, it probably won't work with any other SIM card (the phone will just report Invalid SIM). You could look at ting.com/byod and check the IMEI there to see if it reports clear GSM / CDMA capabilities. If that shows up OK, then it at least doesn't have any financial obligation, and it should work.

Are you sure the phones are still Sprint Locked? Or was the seller just indicating they were Sprint variant phones, and were unlocked?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kampfgans:
Thank you so much for the fast reply :good:

- I checked multiple lisitings from this seller at ting.com/byod, and they all say its compatible with ting/gsm/cdma. So if i get this right, the phone itself should not be locked then, because its neither stolen nor in financial trouble?

- i dont know if i am able to post ebay links here, one of the lisitings from this seller is 332465030454 - the seller just says that the buyer itself should check the IMEI. But as i understood it, i cant check if the phone is net/simlocked to sprint, just if its "legal"..

regards
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
I really wish I was able to give you a definitive answer, esp. since you are in Germany, as the return capabilities are a lot harder since it takes a while to ship back and forth. I was reviewing the company's website to see where they get their inventory, but couldn't really come up with a clear answer. They do indicate in the FAQ that they offer a service to test the ESN for a fee, but it doesn't go into much detail. Maybe give them a call, or send the seller a message on ebay to see if they are willing to pop in a non-sprint sim to verify it at least doesn't report back invalid - sim.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kampfgans:
Just to let you know about the outcome - they cannot guarantee that it is unlocked :(

Hopefully there will be another Amazon Deal or somebody doesnt need his F&F code :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] saschb2b:
So what was the outcome? I have one ebay seller that isn't sure either. He bought it from sprint. Wanted to use it in Germany
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Assume anything bought from Sprint that the seller can't verify was active on Sprint's network for 50 days as unusable.

Sprint will only generate ISU (international SIM Unlock) that is permanent after a device has been on the network for 50 days.

This policy is strictly enforced and even if the device is paid off, it does not matter.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hypnz:
Hello guys and happy new year.

I'm planning to buy the essential phone from ebay. I have found some quite interesting offers from sprint locked devices. My question is the device will work at cosmote greece?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mclanecxantia:
„Invalid sim“

I bought an essential phone from USA a few days ago and it is sim locked for sprint and I have not found any way to make it simlock free.

It says invalid sim.

I can use it as an expensive MP3 player or camera or when using WiFi.

But not as a telephone.

I asked the seller for help. He said he would call sprint.

I was able to flash Oreo beta2 Android 8.

In fast boot mode the mobile said it was a sprint variant.

I guess only sprint can made it sim lock free with a code.

If there is no solution I will maybe have to send it back.

What a pity situation. Why is essential phone not selling the phone for Europe ?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] saschb2b:
That's what I was afraid about. Thought a proper rom flash could remove the lock. But it seems you can't do it yourself. Essential will bring it to Europe. But when is not sure.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Kampfgans:
As already mentioned above -the seller could not guarantee it to me that i will be able to use it.

Finally, i ended up ordering it directly from Essential. Have it since 2 weeks now, works great on Telekom!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Sam.anas:
Hi, I am in Ireland and got a PH-1 which was locked by Sprint but i contacted them and they told me they have unlocked it for me and i can use it in Ireland but i am actually not able to use it on any network here, it just says Invalid Sim every time i put the sim card in.

Can anyone help me please?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mozart12:
forget sprint in europe!

In Germany it does not work with "Sprint" Locked Essential Phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
The only way to unlock it is with a Sprint SIM and they update the the phone or enter in a code.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashkyh:
Its a ROM to be made specifically for devices with 512MB to 1GB RAM!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxyninja66:
This doesn't mean we'll build oreo for the aging N7, even with app optimizations and system optimizations oreo still probably won't run well on the Nexus 7 2012. I don't even see why we bother with android, what we need to do is work on Sailfish, because that runs buttery smooth on this tablet. Who knows though, maybe we'll see a Sailfish OS 2.x build for the 2012 Nexus 7 soon ;)

Anyway I would be surprised if android go actually makes the Nexus 7 noticeably faster, heck, I would be surprised to see an oreo build at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert98:
I would hope that the Devs manage to port it to the grouper, because AOSP Nougat with no gapps is fairly usable, so I think Oreo isn't much heavier than Nougat

additional info : the xperia sp with this enabled has far greater battery drain in standby than the "stock" oreo - presumably due to power used in shuffling memory space

standby with it enabled is ~ 36 hours... but without it is 9 (yes, that's NINE !) days

Install Condor A8 (blu vivo 5r) rom and then install A55 Slim (blu vivo 5) patch from :

Here

Important !

This rom is ported for the Condor and Gionee phones , which their baseband isn't the same with

blu and walton clones , so all blu and walton users will get "No Sim Cards" Issue

to fix this issue do this :

on Blu Vivo 5r :

Delete these folders from the rom inside system/:

etc/firmware/

etc/mddb/

then paste the firmware and mddb folders of your stock marshmallow to the rom and flash it.

On blu vivo 5:

To get sim cards working delete these folders from the patch, inside system/:

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] life25ak:
hello,

please i want a solution to get my data from htc u11 after water damaged,

the sea water entered the phone before one month and i sent it to service center but they said it didn't work, after one month i plug the charger and it worked just on the boot screen and stuck there and the buttons are not working , and all the pictures were taken in the service center,

please help me to get the data
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] deftoner:
Hello there my friend. Sorry to hear that you lost your data. May be its a good lesson and you back it up now to the cloud, and specially when you wet your phone (not waiting a month to it). THERE IS NO PHONE THAT IS 100% WATER SUBMERSIBLE, most of cases is half an hour on non deep normal water.

Not sure in what country you are but that paper seems not to be from HTC. You should send the phone to HTC, and for sure U11 its pretty new, it should be under warranty still.

Back to your main problem. If the phone doesn't boot up, its complicated since the internal memory is encrypted, and you don't have a easy way to access to it not even having your buttons working. Sorry. Easeus (company that make great software for recovery and cloning), has an app for HTC for recovering data, may be you can give it a try: https://www.easeus.com/data-recovery/mobile-device-recovery/htc-data-recovery.htm

From now, try to use free services like google photos or if you have amazon prime the amazon drive that will give you unlimited space for photos backup. Saving photos to SD its better than internal, but if you lose the phone you lose the SD too. Crossed fingers that may be the app can recover something for you.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CurtisMJ:
Assuming the USB port works but the buttons and touchscreen do not, if you can somehow get back to download mode you could try to unlock the bootloader and temp boot a special TWRP pack to dump the data(it would have your encryption password so you'll need to pack it yourself). I'm suggesting unlock and TWRP because it seems like the current ROM is not booting. Most service centers would wipe data before working though, hopefully you aren't that unlucky.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
In all honesty it looks to me like the camera board is knackered, which contains the nfc chip and camera hardware.

The fact the phone can get as far as it can is almost promising. You must try to select download mode if your buttons still work. If not then you're stuck. If they do work then try flashing the stock firmware zip from an external sdcard. If it takes then it might boot. Reflashing the same firmware doesn't wipe any data. It just resets the firmware as stock, leaving your apps etc intact.

I believe it is running marshmallow august update, previous to nougat so your internal memory may not be encrypted, as previously stated, unless you encrypted it yourself. You will need the full Marshmallow 2gb update ruu zip, rename to 0pja10000.zip, copy to a class 10 microsd, place in phone and boot to download mode and flash it.

You might get somewhere, you might not. If it fails to flash then the phone is finished. If it flashes but doesn't boot its finished, if it boots BONUS!. There is also the possibility that the phone has been wiped in the store. If so your data may be gone forever BUT.. THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT!!.

Im not specifically promoting this app in any way its just that it is the only one I know of that does this and actually works, "Diskdigger". Its worth trying but it may not have any data to recover and if it does have an sd card in that is 64gb or more.

Only USA and Taiwan have "uh oh protection". A one time unconditional swap for another phone within, i think, 12 months.

Hope this helps.

[General Questions and Answers] HifeFish:
Phone: Huawei Ascend Y300-0100

Problem: After trying to install the Xposed framework using the option "Create .zip and install automatically", the phone will show the Huawei logo, then flash the Teamwin logo, then just show a black screen (while the back, home and menu buttons are lit).

Status before the problem occurred:

- Rooted and custom TWRP custom recovery installed

- user data backed up (sadly no complete image created, as I naively assumed factory roms to be available)

- Tried to install Xposed framework "directly in the system", but still received message "most recent version not active" after restart

Things I have tried and results:

- Recovery mode (Power on and Volume Up): Same thing as normal startup

- Flashing several Firmware versions from SD card (Power on, Volume up and down):

- SDHC Card 32GB (Transcend): Error as soon as Step 2: Installation is reached

- SDHC Card 32GB (SanDisk): During Step 1: Extraction, the progress bar keeps resetting​

- Flashing TWRP custom recovery again using fastboot: Completes without errors, above behaviour unchanged.

I read on another forum that the success of flashing things from SD cards depends heavily on the SD card itself and I do not have access to any other SD cards at this time, so I would like to try something that doesn't rely on SD cards. I have not been able to find any existing factory roms (.img) for this particular phone (just many dead links). So my first question is:

- Can anyone point me to a source of factory roms for this model that is still online?

I have found firmware versions in the form of "UPDATE.APP" files (that I tried flashing from the SD cards), so my second question is:

- Is there a way to install an UPDATE.APP file without using an SD card?

If there are any other/better solutions to my problem, I am grateful to hear them as well.
[General Questions and Answers] HifeFish:
Update:

I have found a Perl script by marco.minetti to extract the contents from the UPDATE.APP file, but they all have the same name ("INPUT"), so now I need a way to find out what each file is.

There is a Thread from 2013 by GalaxyUser, in which he talks about a script that "guesses" the files, but the link is a dead google doc.

New questions:

- How do I find the correct files?

- Does anyone have an idea as to why the custom recovery is not working even after reflashing it?
[General Questions and Answers] HifeFish:
The Windows program "Huawei Update Extractor 0.9.9.5" was able to identify the different files when choosing the profile for G610-C00 and others. After flashing the stock recovery from "Y300-0100 V100R001C00B176CUSTCZEC40D001 TA", the phone boots normally.

I wonder if this is an incompatibility between TWRP recovery and Xposed or a problem with TWRP and .zip installers in general. I will try installing Xposed without TWRP when I have the time and post the results here.
