Success! I have gotten my UPro rooted! Thanks so much Skeleton! I'm new to it, I did something wrong at my first attempt, the flushing stopped, wrong path

on my pc or something, but it gave me a scare when I had to enter like, x10 a pin and at some point there was some warnings that the phone will be locked out after 9 more trials. I've managed to shut it off and go manually to recovery and do factory reset. The second time was the charm, the end of the flushing hangs on some error(as you predicted) and then this big relief, the phone comes to life!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
yep . that it hangs at the end of the flashtool is normal. because i left the patch0.xml empty...

also you didnt reboot to recovery. just enter the password . 10 times and phone display. please reboot info. after that another 10 times. phone displays a reboot info. after that it shows that it will reboot itself and delete userdata after another 10 times .... that is not part of my mistaken. its because of googles protection laws....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mzsquared:
I used Total Commander from Google Play, had MagiskAPK on mu sd card, Total Commander asks for permission to install "other sources app" and it's done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
thanks. but thats not the problem of [MENTION=7216360]Laptapper[/MENTION].

i think he is not on the latest build. because we have _a and _b system.

the latest build is on _b . also the root is only in _b

he could use cmd and adb in bootlader mode

fastboot set_active b

Setting current slot to 'b'...

but that will not work . the bootloader in the u pro is a bit strange. :D tested many things
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abbas:
Did u finally get root?

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Same boat. I could not get root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Strange . For many users it works. For some not.

One user told me that he installed the ota with the fota app.

And then he flashed the ota.zip again. So he did installed it twice.

For him the root also don't work.

So maybe _a and _b partitions are the same now.

And the system is running in _a partition now.

The root only goes to _b partition.

That could be an explaining for it..

Also can you send me the Qfil log ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Laptapper:
Hello skeleton

Many thanks for your private chat support! I've tried a lot of things alone but only in case of your know-how to get a bricked phone working again.

I've got root now :highfive:

For me it's clear now that the problem was in my manually update of the full it's file. The phone has booted alone after the update and so I think it changed from image a to b.

I've done the update again and it has booted again.

Then I've removed all flashing software from Windows 10 and deleted old drivers. Complete clean up with registry clean with temp clean........

Then I've installed all of your tools again except python , here I took python 3 (by the way: we've talked about my short flashing time.....it was exactly short as before).

So may be also python could be the problem before but I guess it was the full ota.

Anyway ....for those who had problems like me try to flash the ota again (if before was done) or because better AND clean up all and then try again.

Many thanks again to the elephone u pro conqueror skeleton

Hopefully he will go further on with a full rom with twrp. And for this I've send him some dollars and I'll hope the other users will do it like me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skeleton1911:
Thank you very much :) i appreciate it

Flash was fine.

look a post above . maybe thats also the solution for you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mzsquared:
The root is good on my Upro, carved some space out on my Fat32 microSD to make Ext4 partition and it mounts with LinkSD Plus better then in Nougat where it was always little tricky. My next thing with Upro will be finding ways to extend the LTE bands, lots of threads on XDA about it to dig in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cowgirlbebop:
I am using an old samsung galaxy s4 that my grandma bought from a pawn shop. It was rooted when she bought it. I want to unroot the phone because I really have no interest/experience in having a rooted phone, and one of the apps I use frequently is Snapchat and I can't log into Snapchat when my phone is rooted for some reason? So I looked up a tutorial on how to unroot using Odin and it seemed fairly simple so I tried it and I keep getting a red "failed!" in the box. Am I missing a step? am I doing something wrong? I don't understand. I am new to this I have no experience rooting phones what so ever and I'm scared I'm going to mess it up but it's been fine all 3 times I've tried, it just keeps failing. Please help me. I mean I don't absolutely need to have snapchat so if there's no way I can unroot it successfully I'll just give up, but it would be nice to be able to use it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
Having root is like having administrator rights on Windows, it does not harm your phone or anything unless you do something like flash a file that is not made for it. Snapchat probably just needs to be uninstalled then reinstalled.

Anyway...

There are 2 ways to unroot. The first method is to download the superSU app from the Google play store. SuperSU is a root management app and has an unroot option built into it. The next method is using ODIN like you are using, however you have to find the right ODIN stock .tar file for the bootloader you're on (or a compatible .tar that lets you downgrade like NB1). Once you have the right .tar file, just flash over what you have and it should get you back to 100% stock without root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cowgirlbebop:
Okay, so I downloaded SuperSU and did the unroot option. It loaded for a few minutes, then the app closed, I rebooted my phone and SuperSU was gone. I really don't know how to tell if it's still rooted or not? but I think it is because snapchat STILL won't let me login. in order to tell if it was still rooted or not I redownloaded SuperSU (bc Idk any other way of knowing if it's rooted or not) and now when I open the app it gives me an alert saying "root undetected" and the only option it gives me is "how to root" and I can't do anything on the app. Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
No problem, always glad to help. You can check to see if your phone is still rooted by getting the app called "root checker" from the Google play store. Since you did the unroot via superSU and it disappeared, I am guessing you're now unrooted. However, you should go download root checker to be sure.

Several people on the ZTE forums (Blade V8 Pro section, of course) are reporting loss of IMEI, Baseband, and GPS function after updating if the SIM was left in the phone during the update. A couple of us removed the SIM first and have had no issues at all. ZTE are supposedly working on a fix.
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] neondunker:
Updated with the SIM inside, no problem.

Don't feel anything different in the phone.

Apparently, you are very lucky! I haven't noticed anything different either--it might be security only..)
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fishyx:
This update really killed the V8's standby battery life. I now lose about 20% in 12 hours. I really hope ZTE cares about this and issues a fix but not holding my breath. I've got another brand new V8 Pro in the box still which I might switch with the one I'm using and not let it update..
[ZTE Blade V8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Telyx:
According to the ZTE forums, someone has sent an updated/screwed up phone in for analysis and service. No indication how long it will take but they are supposedly going to produce a fix once they figure out just what went wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Sung:
So I've been with Vrz for 3 or 4 years, been happy with the service. Recently, I signed a 2 yr contract to get the Tab S# for $299 (shoulda done my research to discover that there's presently no root for the SM-T827V...). A few weeks later, I decided to look into upgrading my 4 yr old S4 mini. One of the phones available to me was the S7 for $.99, with 2 yr contract or $480 retail@ $20 month for 24 months. Since I'm already on the hook for 2 years with the tab, I bit for the .99 w/2 yr contract. When I got to the point of placing the order, I noticed that my previously $20 month line charge was listed as $40.

I canceled the order. I then called customer service who said it was .99 down, then $20 a month for 2 yrs until the $480 retail was paid off. What?

So then I called tech support, as they are usually pretty knowledgeable and professional for business accts. He said that it was $.99 straight out, no additional. I told him to write it up.

When I received the order via email, I saw that...yep, $40 line charge.

So now I'm thinking this is either a verizon scam to hook people into a contract and paying for the phone, or they are denying me the $.99 cent special because they already have me on the hook for 2 more years. And the reps are not allowed to say so. You should hear some of the reasons they've given me for the .99 cent down with contract, but still paying retail for 2 years.

I've posted a screenshot of the "deal" details below. I'm planning on calling and insisting on speaking to a supervisor.

You be the judge. Am I nuts? Should be .99 total with 2 yr contract, right?

Any suggestions on how best to handle this?
[Samsung Gear S2] Latrell567:
Hi everybody,

So not that long ago... I rolled the dice and I took the chance of paying for a subscription on those sketchy websites... and oddly enough... it actually gave me access to download those files. It wasn't a scam!

I know that this is a big problem here that we have to pay for the files we need in order to fix our watches, but I'm here to help change that (and hopefully take care of the problem all together.)

I currently have a subscription to firmware.gem-flash.com and gsm-firmware.com, the 2 websites that has most (if not all) the files we need, and makes us pay for it. So I'm calling to all of the contributors that'll make a post on the file and how to flash it etc. etc... if I upload the file to Google Drive and reply to your comment with the link.

If you'd rather not do that, that's fine too. That's where I ask for contributors to keep a lookout in the comments on this thread.

For the files we currently don't have access to without having to pay for it on one of the websites that I listed, please post the link to the page in the comments... and I'll get it on my Google Drive as fast as possible and reply to you with the link. This same post is in the Gear S3 part of XDA too.

Thanks for reading!

Just got my new S9+, and there's so much I don't understand yet. This is my first Samsung phone. I just came over from the Pixel 2 XL, so being used to the Google news feed, I've been trying to customize the Bixby home page. In the screenshot, you can see one of the cards that keeps appearing.

hi, i am test on Huawei P20 Lite (with OREO delivered)

format data : work

adb sideload : work

my problem is crypting

if i format data, reboot from twrp to twrp and make backup : work to internal and not work to external_sd (permission), then boot to system - need erecovery and factory-reset

after factory-reset is data again crypted. what a hell!

no twrp = after factory-reset app's install, settings ... = many time lost.

i hope you can build WITH encryption (can i help ?)

all other twrp i am testing : see twrp first-screen and frozen. your twrp is minimum 500% better :)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Dil3mm4:
Mhm.

I'm not really understanding this.

I don't have permissions problem over external_sd card over P8 lite 2017.

We should further dig into it, feel free to join the Telegram group.

That's what eRecovery it's supposed to do, so it's expected.

You should avoid that if you want to keep your /data partition decrypted.

Encryption it's kinda tricky.

There are already a few TWRP team members on it, so if you want to help them out, just fork their recovery and take a look over their Encrypt/decrypt functions.
