[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
Official bootable and flashable twrp works on nougat. Sprint wasn't on Oreo until late Feb z so I have used the first iteration on my phone before the Oreo OTA. It will have decryption support which is advised compared to encryption not working. That's a huge security risk. I'd suggest using official twrp and magisk if you want root. That way you keep encryption.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] riskyfuture:
Hi there updated mine to Oreo with the file in this link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL just follow the instructions in the link In post 2 on this thread, I'm pretty sure you can skip the unlocking bootloader (unless you want root as I do)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thealgorithm:
No, the above is no good for my carrier/phone (Vodaphone UK) Results in wifi and modem not working. Also 3 sparse files are missing. Used a US based USC Oreo rom and works perfectly now however

I had the the wifi problem when i flashed twrp (but still had network), then flashed the rom in my last post I am also on the uk vodafone model. could you post a link to the rom you flashed please.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thealgorithm:
It was this one https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754473797

It did give error in regards to the bootloader writing (and timed out - so did not overwrite bootloader) - I already have bootloader unlocked and was on Nougat when I recieved the phone. After updating to oreo, however with the exception of the carrier logo during boot, I have found no issues whatsoever with this rom on a Vodafone XT1789-06 UK model device. I also uninstalled or disabled US based applications / carrier bloat.

Everything works fine (Moto mods, Wifi, network, camera, 3d acceleration) etc

(Note, ignore the fact that the download is from the MotoZ2 play folder, there was no new directory for Z2 Force according to the uploader)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] riskyfuture:
Cheers for the link already had this file downloaded but didn't flash it as I noticed it was a us Version. there was a update at 19:30 on the link I posted but have not flashed it yet, no bloatware on this rom just plain stock and all mods work will flash the update sometime over the weekend and let you know how it goes.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thealgorithm:
I tried the newer version recently and same issue (no wifi or modem), so reverted back to USC version

Unlocking bootloader doesn't stop Banking apps but root will, I have an unlocked bootloader and on the xt1789-06 Vodafone UK running stock ROM from the link I posted above got both nationwide and Barclays apps and both run fine if you flash the first n version it will do all the seamless updates, it just seems Vodafone are a bit slow at pushing them.

I should clarify that WireGuard ≠ AzireVPN. WireGuard is an open source VPN protocol and implementation project I started. AzireVPN is one of many providers selling commercial service to their particular WireGuard servers. Beyond that, they are pretty separate and unrelated.

With that out of the way, I'd encourage people not to use the attached zips of the original post here. They contain private keys -- which are evidently no longer private -- which means that if any other XDAers are using it, you'll be kicked off by each other and the thing will basically be unusable. More obviously, this also means there are grave security issues, since anybody can impersonate you, since your private key is shared with the world. It's sort of like if a stranger on the street gave you a microphone with an antenna attached and said, "you can trust this microphone with all your secrets, I swear", and then walked away with no further explanation. Don't talk into microphones given to you by strangers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHitMan:
Hi [MENTION=5434776]zx2c4[/MENTION]

Thank you for clarifying certain things. As per your post there are several security issues which is a matter of concern. I thought its a great idea to use wireguard vpn because this just works fine. Since *Public Key* resides in the *.conf files whenever i use world-writable permission for *.conf files and setup the VPN connection. It warns me at the time of execution of script not to use *world-writable* permission. So i changed the permission to *owner* only and make them sticky. After this everything seems working fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] zx2c4:
Your irrelevant response here isn't at all related to the security issue at hand, which probably indicates you don't understand the security issue. If you tell the world your private keys, those private keys are no longer secure. Your zip files contain static private keys. Hence, they are no longer private.

I'd strongly recommend you take down this post before others use it and find themselves in a dangerous situation. It looks like you put a lot of hard commendable work into this release, and so I'm very sorry to deliver the bad news to you.

Regrettably I won't have the time to field additional follow-ups on the matter. However, I'd encourage those reading not to use the zips attached to the original post.

I really appreciate the time you gave here to clarify certain useful thing. I am going to take these downloads and this thread down. [MENTION=5434776]zx2c4[/MENTION] thanks for your work. The VPN Protocol is amazing and works without any problem :good::good: .

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] anonymous93:
I have two THOR devices. Kindle HDX 7. (They're confiscated from my daughters. Long story short...don't have kids )

I want to sell them. They both currently have Nexus 4 installed, but they got there in different ways:

Tablet 1: started with 4.5.5 software

rolled back to 3.8.2

rolled up to 4.5.2 software

rooted with cve apk

OTA blocked by changing file name from to "donottouch..."

running safe strap version 4.0.1

back up of kindleos created and saved to laptop

flashed nexus 4 rom

flashed gaaps

created backup of nexus rom. deleted kindleos backup roms (from tablet I believe)

flashed supersu

wiped and rebooted

Tablet 2: started with 4.5.5.1 software

Rooted with King root version 4.8.0

blocked OTA updates by renaming file to "donottouch..."

installed safestrap 4.0.1

did not create backup of Kindle Android. Backup failed.

flashed nexus 4 rom

flashed gaaps

created backup of nexus rom

flashed supersu

wiped and rebooted

It appears, from the little bit of reading I've done before posting, that it might be best NOT to roll all the way back to the Stock Kindle OS. And that when I sell them to specify that they're rooted and OS they are running. Is this correct? And reasoning is because of the risk of bricking? If I chose to try this anyway, would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of some instruction? (I'd at least like to read some on it) In addition, can I use the same method on both tablets seeing as how they were rooted differently? Or do I need to use two different methods to go back to stock?

Is my best option to just wipe/reinstall the nexus 4 ROM/OS? If so, I would guess that it's the same process for both tablets and that it's not too difficult? And could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of instructions for this?

And I would welcome any other advice and tips that anyone would like to share.

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how these compare to tablets on the market now. Are they worth keeping/using? Or are there better options out there? I'm not one for rooting and playing around with them much, so that wouldn't be a factor for me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I would sell them as-is with the caveats noted. Otherwise you risk investing hours with little financial return. Going price for these pups is a fraction of original list and directly competes on price with contemporary Amazon offerings.

As for functional/hardware comparison HDX devices crush (far superior to) anything Amazon offers today which are just glorified, low spec shopping portals. Three are few alternatives from other vendors; those that exist carry much higher price tags. 3rd gen devices can be fully unlocked which opens the door to a variety of contemporary (Android 7/Nougat) ROMs. In short, a gently used HDX represents an outstanding value for those seeking a higher end experience (especially screen quality) in a small tablet form factor. Just have to find the right buyer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] anonymous93:
Fully unlocked? I'm assuming more than what I've already done? Because I think when I did these tablets you still couldn't unlock the bootloader. I don't think I'd mind going to the trouble of getting android 7 on these tablets. Is there a specific thread or post that outlines the steps for this process? Sounds like I might be doing a lot of reading over the next week or so.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
See linked thread. Be aware it is loaded with tons of misinformation along with a few gems. You'll need to a lot of reading and confidence building before taking this on. The actual unlock steps are not difficult and fairly reliable when performed correctly. Details matter; most stories of woe begin with shortcut attempts gone bad. Best approach is to read, develop a game plan and then post a brief summary of how you plan to proceed along with any questions. Good luck.

Why my tonardo 586w can not flash to wm6???(my superCID attached)我的586W刷不了wm6？

I bought my tonardo (dopod 586w) from the internet.and I am so interested in flashing cellphone,and I got lots of fun in it. one day, I can't help flashing my tonardo finally.

After reading all the course about how to flash into wm6,I did it step by step,flashed the IPL SPL into 2.0,and flash the wm6 OS by RUU,and flash the radio (gsm) at last.,OK !I had finished all the step,and restart my cellphone, and seconds later the beautiful interface of wm6 appeared,everything is normal and Okay.

BUT,Good times don't last long,about 2 days after I use WM6, suddenly the cellphone crashed, and I did not notice it's serious,but when I put off the battery and load it again,I can not start my cellphone, it just freezed in the first splash screen.

I tried many many ways to save my cellphone,but it does not work.

I tried the full rom wm5(including ipl spl gsm), does not work,

I tried the mtty using "r2sd" and restore it from my sd card, does not work...

I tried about 30 times altogether using innumerable rom， the cellphone just like a brick without any response...

..........

month later, I really have no way to rescue my cellphone, I have to sent the cellphone to my seller .

my friends, do u have any idea about the issue about my tonardo?

my SUPER CID ：080031313131313131310000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000 is it normal?

我的586W刷不了wm6？？（附我superCID）我在淘宝买586w，全新的。由于手心痒痒想刷wm6于是学完了论坛上几乎说有的刷机教程，终于开刷了。 解锁。。。supercid。。。ipl spl刷到2.0以上。。。刷gsm。。。说wm6rom包。。。。。重启 好了，wm6正常运行！

好景不长，用了2天多，有一次打开通讯管理的蓝牙死机了，没办法只好拔电池，可是在装上就一直冻结在第一个开机画面（三色屏一直都可以进入，硬启不行，硬启不了，硬启还是停在开机画面）。本以为可以通过刷机解决。可是。。。

我尝试了几乎所有论坛所有的方法，包括借鉴xda-developer国外论坛，请教koxo版主，都无法救活我的586w。

后来我sd卡刷，。。。。。。。。还是没有任何起色。

我只好反给卖家给我修，他说先强刷，如果不行就换字库了。最后结果还是换的字库，花了200元。

我要求卖家请刷机公司帮我刷成wm6，这样如果再出问题也好找他保修。卖家同意了。。。。。。。。

又过了2天我问卖家情况。卖家说又死了 正在抢救。。。

我无奈了，刷机公司都无法给我刷成wm6. 我哪敢刷。

最后还是以wm5系统给我寄回来了。

那现在我不敢刷了啊，因为找不到当初问题的原因所在。可是我又是一个刷机迷！

曾经moto e398 几乎3天刷一次。刷了不下百遍了。现在我的586w wm5系统我不太喜欢，有些小bug，我又很想刷机，大家帮我出出主意吧！分析一下到底为什么我的586w会这样？是不是同一机型有些机器一刷必死？

SUPER CID 设置后为：0800313131313131313100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Hello, First I will say what I did before I got this problem.

I have rooted SM-J210F by following the instructions on this site. Rooting was successful. Then I started doing random things without proper knowledge on android(please don't give lectures and scold in comments/replies for this, I did with curiosity).

I found an app 'APPS2DS' to transfer apps to SD card forcibly. Then I found that a 2nd partition is needed on SD card. i followed some youtube tutorial and made with. My SD card is 16GB, I made 10GB FAT and 4GB ext4 as 2nd Parition and a 700MB as SWAP. I found an app 'ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP)' which said it will extend the ram using swap. I transferred 'whatsapp', 'esfile explorer' and 'twitter' to SD card using 'APPS2SD' and they are working fine.

Now I started using ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) app and followed the tutorials on youtube. When I opened this app for 1st time it showed

- RAM - 600MB Free/ 1.33GB

- VMEM - 700MB Free/1.4GB

- Total - 1.3GB Free/2.73GB

Now I clicked 'Optimal Values' option in it and there it showed

- 1.4GB Swap

- hand select SWAP

- 700MB swap (which i created in SD card using APPS2SD)

I selected this 700MB thinking of it would add to that 1.4GB and clicked OK. Now this 700MB came as VMEM and previous 1.4GB was gone. Now the app shows

- RAM - 600MB Free/ 1.33GB

- VMEM - 700MB Free/700MB

- Total - 1.3GB Free/2.03GB

Now I opened playstore, started installing 'Opera browser', It was downloading and showing 'installing....'. After some time an error came as ERROR 506 from playstore and installation got stopped. I am unable to install any app now. Now I downloaded 9apps from my PC and copied to internal memory of phone and installed it, it got installed. Then I downloaded 'Opera' from 9apps, it gave error as insufficient memory(My internal memeory is 2.2GB Free/4GB). I am thinking that the 1.4GB swap was gone and this is the reason. Anybody please help me and say if this is not the reason and solution. Now in my phone i had removed google search app, chrome, whatsapp. I dont even have a browser to search in phone. Please help.

Note: Please don't scold or give lectures or crack jokes in comments/replies as stupids do, because I am frustrated here. Be professional and reply kindly :)

ROOT?

how did you root bro samsung j2 2016 edition smart glower sm-j210f?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedcba098:
Hello,

How do I audit my android's apps to determine which apps are taking screenshots of my activity?

I recently installed & ran diskdigger to undelete an image I had taken, and the image remnants that diskdigger found were shocking. There were dozens (maybe >100?) screenshots of my activity--ranging from innocuous shots of my home screen to images taken when I was inside my (encrypted) chat apps and bitcoin wallet.

My phone is a rooted Nexus 5X running Lineage OS 15-1 (Android 8.1.0). I'm using mostly software from fdroid, though I do have a few sideloaded from yalp (I don't have gapps installed), such as whatsapp and diskdigger.

How do I audit the apps that I have installed to determine what is responsible for taking (then deleting) these screenshots of my activity? To start, how do I:

List all of my apps, sorted by number of times the app has taken a screenshot since installed

List all of my apps, sorted by number of times the app has written a file to disk since installed

Generate a log and/or toast every time a screenshot is taken--recording the timestamp, app responsible, and filename

Generate a log and/or toast every time an app writes a file to disk--recording the timestamp, app responsible, and filename

Generate a log and/or toast every time an app deletes a file from disk--recording the timestamp, app responsible, and filename

TIA!
