[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TriixstaR:
Hey all,

I upgraded my ZTE Axon 7 rooted and whatnot to a Samsung Galaxy S8+ about 4 months ago but have really missed being rooted at times. I have gotten a few warning emails from Samsung stating that Knox will be discontinued and replaced with Secure Folder soon, and I was wondering, if Knox ceases to exist, will there still be a reason not to root?

I use Secure Folder quite a lot, but my country doesn't support Samsung Pay yet so the main reason I'm asking is, when Secure Folder replaces Knox - will it still have some issues with rooting? Outside of Samsung Pay and Warranty void etc. I don't wanna lose access to Secure Folder but some of the things I wanna be able to do with my phone require root access :/

Thanks for any input and happy new year to you all!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Augustin.2:
What should start requiring root access that doesn't now? You don't come clear here. Maybe at some point someone manages to make secure folder working while rooted, But there are alternatives if thats what you are asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TriixstaR:
Sorry, perhaps I should have been more clear: I haven't rooted yet because of the fact that rooting trips Knox but I'm more thinking if Knox is no more, would there then be this same sort of system just with Secure Folder instead?

Things like Pokemon Go spoofing and modifying APK files are things I've dabbled with in the past and have missed doing so with my S8+ hence the question if it will be "safe" to root as far as Knox/Secure Folder goes when we get to a point where Knox is no more.

Just out of interest, what kinds of apps work the same as Secure Folder? I have never really needed to find alternatives as I've always just used Secure Folder, but would be interesting to know any experience you have with other similar apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CASz:
Knox will continue to exist. Only the MyKnox app is being replaced with secure folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TriixstaR:
Damn, okay well thanks for clearing that up!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CASz:
No problem. Knox is their security system that allows them to compete in thee corporate world. If you don't care about thaat, go ahead and root. If you have a physical warranty problem it won't be apparent and if you have a software prooblemm, you should be able to resolve it using Odin and community support.

Hello

I bought HTC U11 6/128 but it's look like it's not for my region. I am from Europe and my HTC U11 6/128 dual sim version have 060 CID which is for India.

I would like to change software, and have option to change language to Polish. But is it possible without losing warranty?

I didn't have any HTC device before so I am not really into it. Unlocking bootloader, root was very easy on my previous smartphones: OnePlus, older samsung without knox etc.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shivadow:
You must root and s-off to do as you require. The process is simple but it costs $25 for s-off.

Unlock bootloader,

Flash twrp,

Flash root,

S-off via sunshine for $25,

Change cid and mid to the region you require via htc_fastboot.exe.

Get firmware zip of said region, rename and flash to phone from external sd.

Do not relock bootloader, do not s-on. Nothing bad happens, it's just not necessary.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Garrret:
Stock and custom ROMs for 6/128 version are different from those for 4/64? I mean I can't use ROMs for 4/64?

Yes you can, the firmwares for 64Gb and 128Gb are exactly the same. I asked HTC.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 4squer:
I have the same version as you, if you want polish language, download MoreLocal 2 app. It's working without root. Pozdrawiam ;)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Garrret:
Seems like best option. But won't it break OTA updates?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 4squer:

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Saviera:
Changing region from Latin America to Australia

Hello, this is my first post here, as I'm a noob about rooting or flashing phones, so please forgive any errors on terminology.

I purchased a sim unlocked HTC U11 from Kogan (yes, I know, foolish of me), but from all my research it appears to be "branded" to Claro, or "region locked". My carrier is Amaysim.

The main issue I have is that I cannot turn on my mobile data, although the phone works in all other ways. The other issue, a minor one, is that the only system languages allowed are US English, Spanish or Portugese.

I have been doing a lot of research, but am not finding it particularly easy to work out what I need to do to change the region. As I lack experience, I'm a little hesitant to root it, but if that is the only way I can change the region, access mobile data, and be able to upgrade, then I'm willing to try. I would be happy with stock Android.

From what I've read, that means I'll have to change the CID, which is currently HTC_332, and that will include having it S-OFF, and using sunshine and the like. Before I went down that road, I thought I would ask if there is any other way for me to change the region lock and/or access mobile data.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT OK, I sorted it out by rooting the phone, getting S-OFF through Sunshine and changing CID, then flashing stock ROM. My thanks to all at XDA for the great tutorials.

I realize that this is not the first topic to ask for custom ROM advice, and that the general advice is "try some and pick the one you like best". This thread is different in that I am specifically looking for a stable custom ROM. I was surprised to find out that LineageOS does not offer any stable builds for our device, nor does AOKP; they both only offer nightlies. Are there alternatives that do offer stable builds?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootedCore:
You can try Ressurection Remix. I used it last month and its pretty stable. Also this ROM recently (22.12.17) got update.

I have been running nightlies (12/15 and updated to the 12/29 yesterday just because I was messing with something) on Lineage OS 14.1, and as far as I'm concerned, it seems as stable as a CM 'snapshot'. This is my primary phone, and I haven't had a random reboot, or any issues to speak of like I was used to with older ROMs on previous phones. I've been on it for a few weeks, finally decided it was time to unlock the bootloader and get off of the stock ROM, since the device is well past the stock OTA window.

If you recall on CM, "stable" releases were pretty rare and usually came out well after the next android version was already released. I'm planning to update maybe once a month, I don't see the need to jump on every nightly, but occasionally something interesting gets added to an update.

Hello,

I bought a new S8 (G950F) about a month ago. Yesterday, I was trying to shoot the night sky.

So I opened a camera, set up manual mode (10 sec shutter, 50 ISO).

When I later tried to edit the RAW file with Lightroom (or Snapseed, doesn't matter) to increase exposure, I have noticed this weird thing.

Does it happen to only me?

Please, try the same and tell me.

Thank you.

I have the S8 in black since May and I got a gear4 case with it. It says it's d30 piccadilly. Basically the case is doing fine to protect the phone from shock when it falls but the clear parts of the case around the edges are gone yellow. I don't want to pay loads for a new one when it's going to turn yellow again in a couple of months. Has anyone else got any suggestions of any decent cases? I don't mine the case not being black just once it goes with the black phone. Just one that hasn't got clear silicone that will turn black is all like I don't mind it not being clear.

So I've done a bunch of searches on google and not really come up with any results. I'm looking for a pretty small (or adjustable height) today plugin which can display my most recently received emails, I like the email aspect of SPB diary, but I wouldn't really use any of the other tabs, and when I use it as a tab on ultimatelaunch all of ultimatelaunch's gesture commands get ignored (swipe left for left tab etc...), which I can't really deal with as I have other today plugins on my ultimatelaunch, plus SPB diary is like $20 and i'd prefer freeware if I can get it :p

If anyones knows of a plugin fitting that picky description let me know :)

Thanks.

Hi, I would like to activate the Camera API2 on a Samsung j730. I understand that after activation it would be possible to shoot 4k and 1080 60fps.

For activation, build.prop should be edited, and I want to do this without rooting it or making a custom recovery. I understand it is possible through adb.

The problem is that after editing build.prop and replacing it with the old one I understand that it might be bootloop and I really do not want any other problems.

Is this change possible?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Delgoth:
I'm still thinking that just like the same & related source branch(s) of the other samsung android flagships circa 2015/16 we should be able to backport the exploits made on newer devices to this old EOL device. I've seen the same kind of FW on the Note5, which has the same SoC as the the GS6 line too. If it worked on the generation after what you(we) are discussing, why couldn't be even more applicable to and older generation of source & hw? I had what seemed like the Combination Rom Kernel for my Rev3 Note5, it allowed official ODIN to bypass the revision rollback protection check for all pieces except cm.bin & param.bin ad still boot up.

We actually just need the stock custom rom put together compiled for the device and has all the version codes updated for a spoof. Dot the T's and Cross the I's. I can work if setup prior to a check and is diligently prepared. But is on a per device basis.

With so many Encryption Collision algorithms now though, I bet if we really revisited the S5 and the S3 red models, we can get farther into diverting and re-routing the chain of trust. They are EOL of devices anyhows that could use some ability to update still. And people wouldn't use them as daily drivers anymore anyways.

Samsung devices needed a System Root up until Nougat builds though. Everyone else upgraded to system-less style with 5.1 kinda yeah. Samsung, GIVEN YOU VERIFIED NO SYSTEM PARTITION signature check, we can dirtycow and persistent payload to defeat DM-Verity. Including the Recovery kernel here. I don't see why we couldn't hijack the Secure Boot PRocess and have it issue an unlock command, even temporally.

Also look at the original package case-sensitive file name, the build.props, the system's(app/priv-app/*.rc) date/version #/version codes, file sizes, and default timestamps w/noatime, and then maybe use 7-Zip and it's CRC analyzer, as well the packages compression level, compression format, and the date of the compression algorithm itself too. Newer 7-Zip version 1909 will lzma/lz4 compress something in a slight different hex format than say the older versino 1806, we see this problem when compiling the "simg2img" packages as well. Same problem, fixed the same way though.

We can mod the early 6.0.1 CSC FW's this way with the Cache, we have the PoC's out there, they need integrated together though. An emmc flasher could maybe change the fuse value. Or we can replace all the build fingerprints from an older build and try and to flash it as a spoof at Run-Time. I've seen parts of it work with DirtyCow and the S6 Edge and Note5. So the S5 is older. Without the same problems and hurdles.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] shanty23:
Hello LeMax aficionados!

I have a Le Max 2 (4gb, 64gb), bought originally as an X829. I immediately flashed the latest lineage OS and have been updating it weekly (now device info shows X820). Everything worked well for more than a month; fingerprint sensor was working well too.

At the time of the issue I was on the 16th Dec release of LOS and had the superuser addon installed. I decided to move to the latest magisk (v15) and get the systemless Xposed (sdk25) so I could try out the Leeco Infrared Fix and the InstantFaceUnlock module. This is how I went about it.

1	Flashed the superuser addon remover. Rebooted.

2	Installed the XposedInstaller (latest version from the source)

3	Flashed magisk v15.0. Rebooted.

4	Downloaded the Xposed sdk 25 from the downloads section of magisk. Rebooted.

5	Opened XposedInstalled and saw Xposed was installed and everything was green.

6	Downloaded the Leeco Infrared Fix and the InstantFaceUnlock thingy. Rebooted for it to take effect.

Here’s where the problem started. I got stuck on the boot animation screen for a long time. Unsure about what to do I left it like that for 3 hours or more (plugged in). When I finally checked it, the phone was extremely hot. I pressed the power button for 10s to force restart and had the same issue. I used the vol UP+power button combo to boot into recovery. Then:

A	I flashed the Magisk uninstaller.

B	Dirty flashed the Dec 23 LOS. Rebooted. Thankfully it booted properly.

C	Uninstalled the XposedInstaller. Rebooted.

D	Flashed the superuser addon.

E	Everything seems fine. Except that the fingerprint sensor doesn’t work. Even when I remove all fingerprints and try to register it anew, the calibration process doesn’t proceed beyond the first fingerprint. (1/10).

F	I flashed the chinese 26s Modem. Same problem persists.

G	I did a basic wipe from TWRP. Restored a nandroid backup from a week back. Everything is fine except that the fingerprint sensor doesn’t work.

Did the overheating mess up some key component of the fingerprint sensor? Any suggestions?
