I am having trouble mounting my Windows 10 shares directly onto the Android filesystem.

I can mount OS X and Windows 7 shares without issues.

Has anyone gotten their post-1709 Windows 10 fileshares working? Would appreciate any assistance given!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinko_pt:
I had some trouble with that but I:

- Updated and setup Plex Server on NSTV

- Setup an user at the win10 side for the NSTV

- Removed WIN10 unused user's accounts from accessing the folders/drives (a common thing when you update or just reinstall the OS and it messes with the shares)

- Gave WIN10 users privileges to access folders/drives

- Gave access specifically to NSTV user to access those folders/shares.

I might had done some redundant steps but is works anyway. Also I think the write/read privileges are required for NSTV.

After seeing the WIN10 in SMB share on NSTV (under storage menu), just put login/password and you will see all the shared folders available to NSTV user. They then also show for Kodi.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] vagoybostero:
On my kenzo I have official TWRP 3.1.1-0. When I install another version (ie. 3.1.1-1 or 3.2.1-0) it does not persists after the second reboot.

ie: With 3.1.1-0 install 3.2.1-0 and reboot. Here I have the new version installed. But if I do a new reboot (the second reboot) it comes back to 3.1.1-0 version. Also of I install something like a ROM.

Anybody knows why?

Maybe is related or not: Also I am in trouble with every Oreo ROM: Sound in user apps (like WhatsApp, YouTube) does not sound. But in system apps (like telephone ringtones) works perfectly.

I cannot get back to the call screen to hang up or to do anything.

the problem occured in wm6 as well. though wm6.1 will sort it out but it's still the same.

any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineusbog:
Hello,

This is my first time posting here and I would like to thank forum members beforehand for any responses I get to this issue. That being said, here's the problem. My sister ( I am sure you heard that one before, but I am being truthful) has a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920P) that prior to an update, she used her fingerprint to open the device. After the update, she can longer access the device via biometrics and it requires the pattern lock to open, which she doesn't remember. At present, she is locked out of the device. When the device was purchased at the Sprint store, it was linked with her gmail account enabling the security features lock, erase, and find. I though this was a workaround for the pattern lock and locked the phone, thinking I could unlock and circumvent the pattern lock, which isn't the case. The pattern lock supersedes negates the ability to lock the device via Google Android Manager. We've contacted both Samsung and Sprint and were told the device would have to be hard reset, thereby losing all her data. -\_("/)_/- That doesn't seem fair, considering she, not being very tech savvy had Sprint enable the remote features associated with linking it to her Gmail account. I have a bit of a programming background and was looking at scenarios using ODIN and TWRP or The Android Studio to disable the pattern lock, but most require OEM Unlock to be enabled or the phone to be in debugging mode and that's not possible in it's present state. Recovering her data is the key and this seems like an interesting puzzle. Any information anyone can provide is appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , try to make adb enable file by using the same firmware version like it was on your phone , go to recovery mode and you will see what firmware is currently.

Then download that firmware for your region :

https://samsung-firmware.org/all/

Then download ADB Enable automator, input your stock firmware and then create on Desktop one output folder to export adb enable file and then flash that extracted file with odin like in this video .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx8iFMKhdFU

After that flash twrp and remove pattern lock :

twrp recovery: https://dl.twrp.me/nobleltespr/twrp-3.2.1-0-nobleltespr.img.tar.html

https://www.howtogeek.com/240657/how-to-fix-pin-errors-after-restoring-from-twrp-android-backups/

Warning!

Do at your own risk , I'm not responsible if you damage your device or lose data !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineusbog:
Thank you for your response to my problem Teddy, I am extremely grateful for your help thus far. In regard to the instructions you sent, I have successfully acquired TWRP 3.2.1-0-nobleltespr.img.tar and ODINv3 v3.12.3, but I am unable to find the iteration of firmware for the phone I need at at the samsung-firmware URL you gave me or the sam-mobile site (which I just earned about!) as well. I entered android recovery and the version on my sister's phone is N920PVPS3DRA1, is not available as of yet I imagine. Is this a work around for this, or shall I just sit tight for the release of N920PVPS3DRA1? Oh, I also downloaded the ADB Enable Automator RAR.

Again, just out of curiosity, what is the possibility of success with this method of recovery? And I know, you are not in anyway responsible for any data loss or phone damage whatsoever. As a matter of fact, if this method works and she can recover her data, the phone can be discarded for all intents and purposes. This has definitely been a learning experience for my sis in terms of backing up her device, and for me in trying to help her. If only she registered her phone with Samsung, in addition to Google, she wouldn't be in this mess! But hindsight is 20/20 and here we are. Anyway, excuse my rant and I look forward to a response at your earliest convenience.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , N920PVPS3DRA1 is not being released official yet , try to make adb enabled file from last official N920PVPS3DQL1 released 2017-12-20.

And about pattern remove with twrp recovery it should be successful without losing data , but like I say I'm not responsible if somehow you lose data .

Here you have video explanation if is easy for you to follow:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineusbog:
Teddy, I tried flashing first with the ADBenabled

N920PVPS3DQJ1_N(20PSPT3DQJ1_N920PVPS3DQJ1_HOME file the ADB Enable Automator created and that passed. I rebooted the device, re-entered download mode and tried to flash it with TWRP file and it failed. The log error is as follows:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

>ODIN enginev(ID:3.1203)...

>RQT_CLOSE!!

>Complete (Write) operation failed.

I think the phone is negating the install because of specific security locks you would have better understanding of that I. Any thoughts on where I am now? Thanks!

Greetings, My Tab E is Sprint authorized for Hotspot, but here's the thing.... I upgraded my tab to 7.1.2 via Odin and rooted, TWRPed, and have no issues, except that when I turn on the hotspot, it turns off and says this device is not authorized, and activates an app called self service, which then says I am authorized and to call sprint if further issues occur...

But, KNOX tripped, so if you have any idea how to get whatever checks the auth on the tab to actually connect to the right server or whatever self serv is connecting to to know I am authorized, PlEaSe offer some advice.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kylemd:
I know that looking for this answer has bugged me for the past few years, so figured I'd x-post from Stack Overflow. I have found the solution to switching either SIM off in the Mi6 automatically. Will likely work with other phones.

The whole question and answer you can find on Stack Overflow here.

For Nougat

For Oreo it's slightly different...

Using the output

Now you have the index number you can test the following command in adb shell (or Tasker, with the "run shell" function). You will need to "su" in shell, or set Tasker to "Use Root".

Of course, now that you can execute it in Tasker you can now switch either SIM off at specific times.

I've verified that it does indeed switch the SIM off (calls go straight to voicemail right after this command is executed) but I'm unsure of any further effects this switch has.

Enjoy!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kylemd:
Sorry for not updating this - I have discovered this method only works on Nougat ROMs. Haven't looked into a fix for Oreo yet, but I will soon.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ne0t:
Thanks for the quick reply, My Mi Max 2 is currently on xiaomi.eu ROM based on Android 7.1.1 .

Edit :

Tried with RN5 on xiaomi.eu Android 8.1 ROM and found TRANSACTION_setSimPowerStateForSlot value (163) as per your guide in the OP, wonder where does Xiaomi store that TRANSACTION_setSimPowerStateForSlot on Android 7.x ROM?

Use Tasker with code 'service call phone 163 i32 1 i32 0' turn off SIM 2 on Redmi Note 5.

Edit 3 : with the SIM 2 power off using this code, turning off the airplane mode caused default mobile data switched to SIM 1, guess when Airplane mode OFF the phone think there is no SIM CARD in SIM 2 slot.

A workaround is by using this code ''service call phone 163 i32 1 i32 1' to power SIM 2 on, then turn OFF Airplane Mode.

Thanks a lot

I use Redmi 5 Plus Vince and Android 7.1.2 Nougat. I pulled /system/framework/framework.jar but framework.jar is only 318 bytes. There is no .dex files in it. It only contains META-INF folder and MANIFEST.MF file in it.

I am searching this for days, i don't know what to do. :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bumbee6:
I just used this method on Redmit Note 8 with Lineage Android 11. Works perfectly.

For anyone who might run into the issue, this is, how I did it:

first using "adb pull /sdcard/Download/framework.jar"

extracting the .jar file using 7-zip

opening the .dex files with Windows GUI version from jadx-github page

found the entry in third .dex file after looking for string: "TRANSACTION_setSimPowerStateForSlot"

used the following shell command in tasker to toggle the sim state:

env -i USER=shell "$(PATH=/system/xbin:/system/bin:/su/bin:/sbin:/magisk/.core/bin which su)" shell --context u:r:shell:s0 --shell /system/bin/sh --command service call phone 181 i32 1 i32 0

This turns off SIM 2. To turn on SIM 1 use the above + "...service call phone 181 i32 0 i32 1" and so on.

Swap "181" for whatever you read from the .dex entry.

[Android Auto General] stasiof:
Works 1-2 days last week,this week no......need some solution to fix update of GPS.
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.

If not, then you won't get the app working.

If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.

In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:

1. Open LuckyPatcher

2. Tap search box

3. Search for Google Play Services

4. Tap the Google Play Services

5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.

6. Choose change the app components

7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row

8. Then search for update and you can disable:

com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)

com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)

com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService

9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:

Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

[Android Head-Units] Sentinel196:
So you’ve got yourself an Android Head Unit (or other device) and now you want to fully customize it to make it your own… You’ll need ROOT for that!

[YOUTUBE]g1dxftKVs-Y[/YOUTUBE]

“Rooting” may sound vulgar, but all it really means is allowing root level file system access. Android devices typically only allow you to modify certain files and folders, and lock you out of the system or root level files so you can’t break anything critical. Rooting your devices does away with this limitation and allows you to do just about anything.

*Stop Bloatware from cluttering your apps drawer and slowing your device down

*Change boot animations

*Modify icons, graphics and system layout

*Deeper control of audio, graphics, etc.

*Install custom bootloaders/recoveries and ROMs.

*Pretty much anything else you can think of.

Be aware that rooting your device CAN brick your device if not done correctly, and allows you to delete critical files which will stop your device working. Do this at your own risk!

The device used for this tutorial is an Ownice C500 Octacore, but the process is much the same for the majority of Android 6 Head Units.

Think of this as a guide to show you how the overall process works. I recommend everyone search their specific model for more specific instructions.

I hope this helps!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adj998:
It "should" be out by the end of this month, you can if you want. But it'll be OTA when it's final. So if you're on Verizon BQL1 you'll get a system update and it'll do it like that, there won't be any need to use recovery or that website.

I unlocked the BL and flashed an International Developer MIUI two years ago, and it has been working fine.

I want to flash a stable ROM now. the miui website gives three approaches (system update, recovery update, fastboot update).

I first tried system update, but the system cannot proceed.

then for recovery update, volume up + power button enters Teamwin (TWRP), not the recovery interface shown in the official guide.

then fastboot update, unfortunately the MIFlash tool does not recognize the phone in fastboot mode.

so I went back to TWRP, clicked Install, and installed this ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.1.0.MALCNEK/miui_HM3S_V9.2.1.0.MALCNEK_fe706c31c4_6.0.zip

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] xsacter:
Do you guys think it would be possible for the Honor 8 to be getting an Always On display feature? I know the Pixel 2 has it and I just think it would be neat if Huawei incorporated that feature on to the Honor 8, whether it'd be on the (hopefully) upcoming update or some other way. In my opinion I think it would be better to have that feature instead of having your phone turn on normally (with the background and everything) to every notification you get (assuming you have that turned on like I do), plus it saves some battery life in the long run. What do you guys think?
