Hi guys! I just need some help just to be sure I won't brick my mobo again. :( Samsung service center replaced the mobo.

I have the SM-G930F. Booloader: G930FXXU1DQJ8 CSC: G930F0JV1DQIL

I just have a few questions which you might be able to answer.

Basically what I want to achieve is get the firmware with least bloat and faster OTA updates.

Currently, my CSC is in KSA and the updates here are really slow.

Questions:

1. I am currently in Qatar, is it safe to flash a different country firmware? If yes, which country should I get base on what I want to achieve? (least bloats and faster OTA)

2. If I flash a new firmware, will I be still able to receive new updates over the air? I have not rooted this device since I got a new mobo.

3. What options should I select to retain all my data when flashing a new firmware? Home or just CSC?

4. What files should I flash? Just the AP?

5. Can I just flash any CSC I want? For example I want the BTU CSC.

Thanks in advance!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Wolfsbane58:
My understanding is that BT will connect you to other compatible devices, but if you are referring to Near Field Chip, (NFC), it will simply transmit data between two Droid devices or an NFC compatible vendor module.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] EMF:
You can use NFC to pair your Bluetooth headphones with the phone. Just turn NFC on, and touch the two devices.

The headphones cannot connect and play music via NFC if that is what you mean. That is handled by Bluetooth.

I'm trying to find a way to move an app from /data/app to /system/priv-app correctly. I'm on Oreo 8.1.0 with January 5, 2018 security patches. I'm rooted with Magisk v16.0.

I've tried using ES File Explorer to move it manually and apply correct permissions. I've tried using Lucky Patcher and Titanium Backup Pro to move it. With the manual move and Lucky Patcher, the app disappears (icon/shortcut is shaded out and doesn't work). With Titanium Backup, it starts the processing and sits with "Processing" forever.

Does anyone know of a way to move the app to system correctly?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curiousn00b:
What app are you trying to do it for? The most efficient way that I've found is to...

1. Install the app normally.

2. Find the app within /data/app/ and copy the folder to your internal storage

3. Uninstall the app

4. Copy and paste the folder either into /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/

If you mount system in TWRP, you can use file explorer in advance setting to move any file anywhere. No need to set any permissions. Just reboot. Been doing that for while now. No problems at all.

I am trying to install an app in /system/priv-app and the app is not showing up in Settings -> Apps even with "Show system" selected.

This is on Google HTC Nexus 9 (flounder) Android 7.1.1 Security patch level October 5, 2017. I used TWRP to remount the root filesytem rw and move the app. I am trying to install com.incorporateapp.fakegps_route-1.

I installed the app from the Google Play store and copied it from

/data/app/com.incorporateapp.fakegps_route-1

to

/system/priv-app/com.incorporateapp.fakegps_route-1

The directory and all files and subdirectories are owner and group root.root. The permissions on the directory and files and subdirectories look correct. The com.incorporateapp.fakegps_route-1 directory is 755.

The directory and files are look to be correctly placed on the file system under /system/app-priv. I've checked multiple times. The app does not show up in System -> Apps even if "Show system" is selected. I understand that Android is supposed to find the new app in priv-app on boot and install it. That does not seem to be happening. Any other suggestions? Are there log files on boot I can check for error messages? Any help is appreciated.

TIA.

If you guys are using Magisk root, I've found a module called App Systemizer which through a simple command line interface is able to convert apps you pick and choose from a list of installed ones on your phone to convert into system apps. Then when updates occur I use titanium backup's "integrate system dalvik into app" feature (it hangs so you have to force close it but it does the job) reboot and it's done.

The raw copy/paste way which has been described here has messed up my phone once or twice, and gave me a message on boot that "My phone has been corrupted or something along those lines and to contact the manufacturer".
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP21:
App systemizer just grants the app the status "system app"(likely through linking and granting permissions). It in no way moves it to the system partition.

Above method didn't worked for me. Below worked perfectly and is safe:

1. Install the app as usual.

2. Copy the app folder from /data/app to internal storage

3. Uninstall the app and reboot to recovery

4. Copy the app folder from internal storage to /system/priv-app folder (If you don't see system folder then you need to mount "system" partition in recovery first)

5. Give permissions to app folder (for all 9 checkboxes), reboot. Enjoy

Anyone else unable to see

the folder with the app they moved

after a reboot? I want to de-systemize, but I can't now.

I took the folder for the app I want to systemize and moved it from data/app to system/priv-app. Then rebooted. The app is now systemized (can't uninstall it, only disable) But

the folder no longer exists under PRIV-APP.

I've done this many times with other apps and I've never seen this problem. Is it because I moved the entire folder and didn't rename it?

After reboot the folder can no longer be found under system/priv-app OR data/app. The app is still installed as a system app.

Where is the folder with the app?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankush1492:
I have come across a very strange phenomena on Galaxy M12. When I install an app as user it exists in /data/app forder in a weird way. The folders in /data/app are like ~~h8DR1aXXIZfV_DXfqwYf3g== (see attachment) and in these folders there is another folder with the app package name. On regular devices I hvae seen app package folder in /data/app itself.

When I copy the app package folder from /data/app/~~h8DR1aXXIZfV_DXfqwYf3g== to /system/app it does not work. I can see the app folder after reboot or even reset but app in not installed on the system. I have confirmed by running the activity using 'am' and tried listing with 'pm'. I have also given same permissions as other app folders in /system/app. I have also tried /system/app~~h8DR1aXXIZfV_DXfqwYf3g==.

Edit: As it turns out when I am copying to /system/app the base.apk is not copied properly. I have tried it multiple time, the system is mounted. Whatever I do it is either 0 kb or 100 kb exactl and the file is ~6mb. Still strange behaviour.

I've been trying to change my mac address on my Moto G3 but to no success. The first method I tried, was using an app. When I changed the mac with the app, (also called 'Mac Changer') it actually changed what the device said the mac address was, seemed very promising. So to test it I went into 'Kali Linux' on my computer and ran a command that shows the mac address on nearby hotspots or devices. It runs for a few seconds, and up pops my mac address, but not my new one. It shows my old mac address (A4:70:Blah:Blah:Blah) which means it didn't work even though the actual device settings said it did! Surprised me. Next thing I tried was using 'Terminal Emulator'. I had 'Busybox' installed and 'Superuser' installed from rooting so I got right into it. I entered in the command 'su' and hit enter. Now I have root access. BTW: My device has been fully rooted and all unnecessary bloatware, (like Google) completely removed using 'Debloater', not hidden like most app removers will do. Next I typed in 'Busybox iplink wlan0' and it showed my mac address, (Take notice that you have to have your wifi on to be able to do this, alot of people have had this problem where they don't turn their wifi on and it doesn't work. I struggled with it for a while til I found out wifi has to be on. I'am not sure why the wifi has to be on because on my computer I can check my mac address through command prompt with command 'getmac' and it shows my mac address without wifi being on.) Anyways, I then typed 'busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether (mac address)' and hit enter. To check if it worked I did the iplink command I did earlier. It showed the new mac address but when I went to 'Kali Linux' it showed it being the same old mac address. If anyone knows how to successfully change a mac address on a Android 6.0.1 device, please let me know. Also if you need help with anything and think I might be able to help you based off what you read just now, please let me know, I'd be glad to share my knowledge and help somebody out. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiden99:
Hi guys,

Today I've decided to update my Nexus 5x to the last Oreo official update.

I've flashed with fastboot the last factory image, and the modified "boot.img" for 4 cores (to avoid bootloop).

The phone booted but it's stuck at the spinning circles animation for almost an hour right now and I don't understand what I did wrong.

Before the flashing, I was running an old version of Pixel Rom (based on nougat)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I haven't used the 4 core boot.img but I do remember it was updated whenever a new image came out. You might check the thread for the 4 core boot.img to make sure you're using the one for the image you flashed.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiden99:
I'm pretty sure that I've flashed the right boot.img for the factory image I've installed ..

Should I try wiping everything and re-flashing the factory image? How do I do it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Use the flash-all batch file in the extracted factory image. That will wipe the device and flash all the partitions.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiden99:
I did that half an hour ago but the phone is still stuck at the boot animation .. Should I try flashing twrp and an unofficial rom based on 8.1? Which is the best rom for the phone at the moment?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Here's what I would try, keep in mind I don't have the boot issue on my 5x so haven't had to face this problem. You may have already done this, but:

Flash each partition of the factory image separately with fastboot.

Then boot into the recovery provided with the 4 core image files, fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery.img is the full name of the recovery.

Copy the 4 core image file to your device while booted in to recovery. I'm assuming the recovery image is a modified version of twrp.

Then flash the boot image file in twrp

Cross your fingers and boot into system. Note that you'll still have the stock recovery (you haven't flashed it yet)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fururen:
Indeed, the previous post summarizes the correct procedure.

Be sure to grab all the files (factory image, boot image, recovery image) for the last distribution from this post, and follow the previous post.

Flash factory image with flash-all, reboot (should be boot looping, so go to the bootloader), flash boot, flash recovery, wipe cache (not needed, but preferable), reboot and enjoy.

That did the trick for me just yesterday, while I had a similar problem to yours, where I tried flashing the boot image, and the phone was simply showing the animated android dots for hours. I'm not sure which step I missed, but this fixed it immediately (I did not wipe the cache).

Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] droidrev71:
Thanks for the response. I went back outside to take more pics and I noticed the camera module was very reflective. It was like i was reflecting light with a little mirror. I grabbed my note 8 to see how that module's reflected light. At first i barely saw the reflection. Then i had to really put the phone at a major angle to get a brighter reflection. I think the camera module's aren't positioned correctly or designed correctly to avoid recieving the sun's rays in an improper way which then produces these crazy sun rays in the pics. My pics were taken mid day so the sun was kinda just past it's peak height. I took more pics later on with the sun lower and couldn't recreate the crazy flare. This is a deal breaker for me. Do you plan on keeping yours? I called Samsung and they weren't any help. They told me to return the phone and order another if I wanted.. this sucks
