[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] skg76:
So no one can help me?

I found out it's the bootloader and found posts about taking all the .bin files out before flashing but that would leave the whole of the BL file out which is like 4gb the bulk of the whole thing. I've tried 5 different UK roms. Tried using CSC instead of home_CSC and that time after sboot.bin in place of cm.bin there's param.bin and no cm. The phone does say odin mode at the top.

Found loads of posts saying because 7 has a different bootloader than 6 it can't be done but many people have done it successfully without a problem. Is there a way to flash it a different bootloader to downgrade to 6.0.1.

I have done a lot of searching about 15 hours worth but can't find the right solution.

I can't get into the phones settings because like a prat i did a factory reset without knowing the password for the email address. Bought the phone, got the login passwords/pattern so was able to use it but it still had sellers gmail and couldn't get in touch with the seller, still can't. Decided to do an frp unlock which i've done many times for people but never on android 7.0. Found out after trying all other methods i had to downgrade which brings me to this problem.

The phone never had/has the the usual startup logos for service providers so i don't know if that means it came without bloatware. I bought it network unlocked, he had it on o2. I've tried stock 6.0.1 firmware for o2, Voda, EE, XEU & BTU.

Please help, already receding don't want to make it worse!

Thanks

Hi. I guess you're on either A520FXXU3 or A520FXXU4 firmware., and that's why you won't be able to downgrade to any lower binary version. Normally it works fine to downgrade without the .bin files as you would still use the updated sboot and baseband ,but with older system files without any problems. All good for daily use, but not for frp reset.

Problem is that it won't help you to bypass frp because you still have the updated binary version.

What you need is a factory combination firmware with the same binary version that you have installed.

That would make it possible to flash it, enable oem unlock to remove the frp protection, then flash a full 4-file firmware with factory reset.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] skg76:
Hi thanks for replying. My firmware version is a520fxxu4brb1. Do you mean the combination file has to hav u4 in its name? Will this one work? A520FXXU4ARA4

Thanks

Yes, afaik it should work.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] paulc6602:
Did you manage to get this working? I can't find any decent links anywhere for the A520FXXU4ARA4 combination file, found one on pakfirmware but md5 was invalid and wouldnt accept in odin..
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] skg76:
Sorry mate just seen your message. Yes it did work was a pain though, took a week. I think i found a link on boxwares.

link is here. clicking download leads to a fast google download.

https://shell.boxwares.com/Download.aspx?L=4474

If link is gone just google the combi and look for shell.boxwares link.

Afterwards i just used any u4 stock rom and it worked. Done like 30 phones with this method since.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
So I rooted and I am having 2 issues.

1. When ever I boot I get a message stating my phone has internal problems?..

How do I fix/remove this message

2. When I chose magisk to test safety net it FC running 14.5 if I update magisk keeps FC won't even update..

How do i check for safety net?.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
The message is actually harmless. It's due to magisk patching the stock kernel. I would flash a custom kernel, like Flash kernel from here....

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/taimen-flash-kernel-1-00-t3702057

And then flash magisk 16.0. Both of them in TWRP. Disable your lock screen security first before you enter twrp. Then flash the kernel, and then magisk. Then all should be good :good:

Hi all,

It's look very strange that before 2015 there was so low CVE declared for Android (Between 1 and 13).

In 2017 there was more than 800, and CVE was growing since Google started to publish officially his security updates (since August 2015).

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2015-08-01

For Exemple in 2013 the CVE-2013-6282 wasn't reported in Android section, but in Linux. Checkpoint listed this in the top CVE for Android ! https://blog.checkpoint.com/2013/12/10/the-2013-android-vulnerability-of-the-year/

And some vulnerability from this website are also missing : http://androidvulnerabilities.org/by/year/

So the view in cvedetails.com and vulnerabilitycenter.com isn't correct.

We need perhaps to add all Linux Kernel CVE to Android CVE to have a better view. (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33)

Did you know a better view with all CVE for Android?

Check here :

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/19997/Google-Android.html?vendor_id=1224

Thanks.

When I'm at home my phone automatically connects to this crappy tower but a tower is up the street almost just as close that I get amazing speed on. Any way to lock on to the better tower?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mtawolf:
Which version you on, i had the same issue as you changed it to 3G, almost no one uses that anymore so you get decent speeds. i remember on the lolipop you could open terminal en force the lock on tower you needed the ID of that tower but when you go out of the range of that cell tower, it lost connection and stopped connecting to other towers because you forced it on that one.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ViRb3:
TL;DR: (story in second post)

As always, everything you do is at your own risk. I'm not responsible for your phone running away or any nuclear wars.

1. Edit the content of /persist/wlan_mac.bin using a file manager with root access (e.g. Solid Explorer) and change the first two lines to your desired MAC. It's a good idea to keep the first 3 bytes (the OUI), or bad things may happen.

2. Using a terminal emulator (e.g. Termux), execute the following commands:

su
chattr +i /persist/wlan_mac.bin

And done! You may have to switch airplane mode on and off.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ViRb3:
I just got my new OnePlus 5T, and of course, one of the first things I want to do is to change my MAC address. I immediately spotted the file:

/persist/wlan_mac.bin

But even if I hadn't, tools like my overseer can find it automatically for us.

So the file is in a standard directory for Qualcomm chips. Using Solid Explorer (with root access), I modified the file's content to change the first two lines to my desired MAC address. I then switched airplane mode on and off and..... it didn't work? I quickly checked the file content again - it had reverted back. Ouch.

To combat this, I ran my overseer tool, but to no avail. There was no obvious file containing our MAC, only symlinks to this one. I then figured that maybe the system caches the value somewhere, and restores it when I toggle airplane mode (spoiler: it doesn't).

Well, the next attempt is mainstream: write-protect the file (set it to immutable). Using a terminal emulator (e.g. Termux), I executed:

su
chattr +i /persist/wlan_mac.bin

Airplane mode on and off... and it works! I restarted the phone and verified our success. Now, one last question burdened me. Was the system caching the MAC address? I removed the immutable attribute after the restart (so the new MAC would have been cached) and after I switched airplane mode -- original MAC was restored! So the system is doing something else to stop us.

Anyways, the current method works flawlessly and I shall refrain from digging any further just now.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aneesh12:
i did whatever you mentioned here. after i set it to immutable, wifi wasn't working, mac address was 02:00:00:00:00:00 . i couldn't even edit the file because i set it to immutable. so i had to remove the immutation by using -i command. i still wanna know how to change my mac address. please help me out
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ViRb3:
Hey,

You have to edit the file before you set the immutable flag, otherwise you'll get access denied just like you observed. Unless you messed up the content of the file I see no reason you are getting an invalid MAC. Make sure you preserve the first 3 bytes (the OUI) when setting a new MAC.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aneesh12:
is there no way to change the whole Mac address(including the OUI)?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ViRb3:
Sure you can, as long as you use a valid OUI. While using a made-up OUI won't affect you in the short-term, some (public) hotspots could block you.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] aneesh12:
okay, by your method, i could change the mac address but not completely, only the last 4 digits. i searched for woan_mac.bin . this is what i found. these files might be causing for you to reverting back to the original mac address after removing the immutation.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fuzail.1088:
I tried to change mac address of my OP5T completely to my laptop's(lenovo thinkpad) mac address

[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] skeleton1911:
Maybe. You can look into the system files . There are camera libs and some more things in system/etc and vendor folder.

Copy them out of the firmware . And of course the camera.apk

Then copy all into your custom ROM on the s8 and reboot.

(Make a backup in twrp first. Just in case something goes wrong, also make sure the files have the right permissions. Use mixplorer explorer for that. It will set permissions automatically)

Hi all,

No Android P for the Nexus line :(

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...upport-for-the-nexus-phones-and-pixel-tablet/

Have been running stock on my 6p ever since switching from an Oppo Find 7 which I flashed regularly, so I've no idea on major ROMs or development.

Shame OS support ended (though support went beyond the initial EOL date) because the 6p remains such a capable phone.

Are any ROM devs interested in porting Android P for the 6p? It's early days of course :)

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] gorman42:
I'm in the same position. Never considered custom ROMs as I wanted to take advantage of the clear upgrade path offered by Nexus. What will be the choices when P comes and security updates stop (I guess that will happen at the same time, correct me if I'm wrong)? Lineage? Others?
[Nexus 6P General] rob219:
6p will still but only receive security updates

T-mobile limits the size of videos sent by text message for the stock Samsung app. So in order to send a longer video I recently found out I can just use textra..

However, after using textra for a bit and then switching back to the stock messaging app, my gear s3 will not get txt notifications!

I ended up resetting the watch to fix it.. But it has happened again through that same process.

Any thoughts?

I have an s8

I wanted to show some tests that I did.

The first message is me using my watch number, so using 4g

The second message is me using my phone number thru bluetooth...as you can see, it doesn't actually show it' ever sent the message, but my phone did get it...

So something is wrong with the messaging app connecting with the phone as it shows the messages arent being sent (even if they are) when using my watch to send a text with my actual phone number.

[Xposed General] Woobhurk:
I'm sorry for my poor English..:crying:

This problem has been questioned a lot but I still can't find an answer suitable for me.

I upgraded my LineageOS 14.1 to 15.1 yestdoday with wiping system, cache and dalvik cache, and data not wiped. And install magisk xposed 90.2, but it said 'framework installed but not active'.

I tried reboot (not soft reboot) my phone, then every thing keeps FC.

After a soft reboot, every thing seems to work fine, and Xposed Installer said framework is active. But some modules said 'module not active' while others work perfectly.

Modules not work: QXposed (for QQ), WeXposed (for WeChat), FingerprintPay (for payment apps)

Modules work: Xposed Edge, Android Phone Vibrator, Greenify, InstantFaceUnlock, etc.

Why I got this problem?

In a word, xposed doesn't work after a reboot (via app or power button), but works after a soft reboot. And modules that target for apps (not for system) don't work.

Thx very much!

hello friends I need a little help with this issue it turns out that I have a g4 xt1625 amazon motorcycle to which I unlocked the boockloader and then I became root after all that I installed several rom from 7.1.2 to 8.1. it turns out that I wanted to undo all of that and go back to stock 7.0 but my phone got flushed in the recovery mode and to be able to lock it again I had to reinstall twrp and go back to root, there is the possibility of making my phone back to stock ? I tell them that I'm not interested in doing it as a guarantee, I just want to go back.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If you want to just go back to the stock ROM (no root, no TWRP):

Download the NPJ25.93-14.7 Amazon stock ROM https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617956922 Unpack the stock ROM (this is the September 2017 security patch) and extract to your ADB folder.

Ensure your key files are backed up from your device's internal storage.

Boot your device to the bootloader, connect to your computer via USB (preferably the original USB cable).

Open the ADB terminal and use the following flashing commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

That should restore your device to stock. If you wish to re-lock your bootloader, you may wish to follow the OEM locking flashing commands here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 Ensure you only use the Amazon stock ROM (NOT NPJS25.93-14-13).
