Android root + encryption possible at all ???

According to TWRP root + encryption is not possible / working.

One could easily disable encryption / extract the password by having access to root and kernel files using TWRP recovery. There are also programs like "Oxygen OS" that can be flashed from the recovery and bypass the password prompt. That would make the whole procedure useless...

Any thoughts on this? And other ideas on Android / third party encryption apps? Encrypting containers with EDS would be an alternative (recommended by Veracrypt) since full disc encryption is still not available for Android (why btw.? nobody seems to care...) - but I am not sure if one could run / move apps into the container (like contacts, sms, e-mail-apps etc.)...

Cheers!

got these combinations working

Samsung_S7+Oreo+Magisk+Xposed+root+encryption

LG_V30+OreoAOSP+Magisk+Xposed+root+encryption(+BThandsfree)

also according to TWRP and the threads it was impossible. the TWPR might not be able to read files, i don't care as long as i have encrypted system. I can flash from the system.

Wouldn't like 3rd party solution as i want Secure Boot and type password during the boot.

Encryption and root is a must. But it's getting difficult more and more nowadays. ROM threads don't list limitations since KNOX was ever introduced, and that sucks. Instead of "knox will be tripped, warning boot screen will be showm, TWRP won't read filesystem, BT handsfree won't work, encryption won't work" you get "no limitations". Have to read full threads to discover the truth.

Hope Note9 and S10 will be ok.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] little-endian:
So what do the TWRP guys say about Alexndr's mod then which meanwhile and finally seems to very well combine both approaches?

While I can't vouch for Samsung/Google's technical implementation, not only does the fact that one eventually may gain access to some master key, render the act of encryption itself impossible from a technical point of view (even if it turns out to be useless at the end) but also leaves the question unanswered how an originally unaltered, encrypted system is reasonably supposed to be considered any safer when one can also flash some third party stuff later on anytime.

Since I am certainly not aware of all the technical details, I might very well be missing something though. For all, wanting at least some flavour of encryption in conjunction with root access, and be it only for the calmed conscience, flashing the mod mentioned above will probably provide the current best option.

You can flash the zip file with TWRP.

If you are coming from another ROM (also MIUI Global ROM), wipe dalvik, cache and data before installing the ROM.

If you are coming from another MIUI China Dev ROM (not Global Dev) with a lower version, you can skip wiping data.

2) A real iOS center clock mod (wifi icon after signal cluster icon)

I patch MiuiSystemUi to add these two features every rom that i use/test/try..>

Why there are few roms that add blur ? for miui 9 it's very very simple enable it..And Miui with blur is so beautiful

Only Masik was builded with Blur features

Another question, can i skip supersu install so i can use magisk?

I would love to second this request! I think gaussian blur looks spectecular on the notification panel, on notification backgrounds, on folders and the recent + power panel. I think Magisk had all of those. I also don't understand why Xiaomi ditched it after MIUI 7. I like the app styling of MIUI 9, but MIUI 7 had a prettier overall interface I think. In that regard, I'm happy iOS themes for MIUI are so good.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] williamschromebook:
Ok. So I hear oreo was out, but I noticed there was no RUU for it on the htc site. So I downloaded the most up to date RUU exe.

Problem is, my PC was not reading my device.. Neither was my girlfriends PC. I used 2 different cables also.

Note:

My device had the bootloader unlocked

TWRP installed

VIPER ROM.

OS is windows 10

Anyway, i forgot there was a rule that you had to relock the bootloader before flashing signed firmware. So since the PCS didnt work I went ahead and downloaded

2PZCIMG_Sprint_2.33.651.10_signed_firmware.zip, threw it on my SD card, renamed it accordingly, and flashed.

Now my phone will not boot.

so I tried to install the last know good RUU from the RUU thread ( 2PZCIMG_1.28.651.50_RUU.zip)

And the following error occured:

19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

FAIL 19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or 1

So fast recap (for those not wanting to read)

Multiple Chords: Tried

Fastboot or ADB does not recognize a device (although my PC said setting up new device)

OS - 2.33.651.10 (flashed this direct from VIPER)

Tried to downgrade. it will not let me (errors above)

Bootloader unlocked

Will not boot.

RUU EXE file does not recognize device

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] CurtisMJ:
Don't relock the bootloader. It's not required to flash an RUU and has a chance of bricking if there is any custom firmware on the device when you lock. It's not worth the trouble. (Just thought I'd warn you)

Does the exe RUU flat out say there is no device connected or is there some error message?

I also find Xprivacy to "block" internet connections of apps that do not need to be online to work as well. This requires xposed framework though

This may seem like a weird request but I am looking for a way to share folders on my Kaiser. The reason for this is that my wife has a Wizard and I have set up a WiFi network between the two to play games together. I download software and games at work and then need to tranfer the the files to the Wizard. :D

Now I know that you can transfer it via bluetooth but that sometimes take quite long and since we have a wifi network thought that why not look for a way of utilizing it for the file transferring as well. :rolleyes:

I have tried to Google the subject extensively but only got ways of sharing folders between my pc and the ppc's, nothing on ppc to ppc. :(

Any input regarding this would be appreciated. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hypest:
I'm also interested in such a feature (so I don't think is weird :))! My search on the subject has concluded that even though M$ has SMB server in Windows CE (after all, SMB is a Microsoft protocol!), only the client side is included in WindowsMobile :(

The closest thing I have managed to achieve is to use an FTP server on the kaiser, and Novell's Netdrive on the PC (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/999.html)

hope it helps...

due to limitations in the windows mobile network stack, network shares are not possible from windows mobile.

Surely there must be a way to achieve something like this, if there is one thing I have learned from these forums it has to be that just about anything is possible. I'm sure there as to be something we can do. I will not stop digging till I find a way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vip3r69:
I'm not to sure what you mean by the ftp server on the Kaiser. Do I create a folder on the Kaiser that acts as a ftp folder and then connect to that or is it still a ftp folder on a server somewhere else and then need internet connection to connect to it. Please could you tell me more about this.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hypest:
Yeap, here it is:

You can run an FTP server on the kaiser (like the free Mocha FTP server) which will let incoming network users to access a directory you specify... I have specified the whole root dir "\". Then, you can use any ftp client software on a desktop PC (or another kaiser of course) to access the FTP server that is running on your kaiser. Of course, you have to know the IP address of the server. Once you have verified that the kaiser is accessible and the files downloadable, you can use the Novell's Netdrive (free also) to create a virtual disk on the client PC that will actually use FTP! That way, any program on the PC can access the kaiser's files, just as normal filesystem files. Apart from the delays and latencies, the scenario works great. As a matter of fact, I use it within my development cycle, where I have a post-build action that copies my program's compiled executable directly to the kaiser.

I hope these made it more clear :)

have fun,

I have checked out Mocha FTP server and downloaded it. Will test it tonight, it looks like it will do the trick though. If I run Mocha FTP server on both ppc I should be able to copy files from one to the other without a problem. :D:D:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hypest:
of course in that case, you will need an FTP client on each device... but I guess that is the easy part...

I know at least one FTP client that is a file manager at the same time (TotalCommander... the one I use ;))

Perhaps there is a similar way to NetDrive, to map an FTP site onto a local path on the ppc so to be "visible" from any application, but I haven't used/tried any.

Definitely Worth Trying ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vip3r69:
hypest, you ROCK

Thanks you, it works like a dream. Tested it last night and at first didn't use my head. Every time I went into the FTP folder there was nothing, little red cross over the FTP connection at the top. I then created another ftp and still all I got was the little red cross( My wife then interrupted me for dinner, thanks. Cleared my head a bit) After dinner when back to it and deleted the one ftp and it was then when I saw you have to click "Connect", while clicked it and there was the folder that I shared on my ppc. Copied a couple of files and it works 100%. :D I use Resco Explorer 2007, works like a dream and its got a couple of other extra uses.

I'm not to pressed to have the client on both because I normally have all the stuff on mine and then copy it to my wife's. Won't do any harm to have it on both though. This is probably a little longer route than normal file sharing but it works perfect. Still going to try what you suggested above, will keep you posted.

Thanks again :cool:hypest:cool:.

Back to Nougat for now I suppose.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JD. A:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but safetynet checks if your bootloader is unlocked. If it's unlocked you fail the safetynet check. There's a workaround in custom kernels that disables that check or returns it false, makes saftynet thinks that bootloader is locked.

LOS is out 7.1.2. We just have to wait for Oreo. If you wanna try a oreo rom either install magisk or a custom kernel and that should fix safetynet for you. :)
