[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awkwardsquid:
Hello guys! New user here. Nice to meet you all.

Now, for the real deal, I need help with something. I'm trying to find a way to root my phone, but I'm kind of lost. I tried already once, but ended up screwing the software, and lost quite a bit of money repairing it. Someone suggested me to come here to ask about that problem, and if it's really possible to root my specific phone.

Keep in mind, however, that due to personal reasons, I want to root specifically with Magisk and Magisk Manager.

Please, any help would be appreciated. I really need my phone rooted, but I'm kind of clueless how to do it correctly.

P.S.: since I can't really post outside links here, if there's any info needed to help me solve my issue, let me know. I'll send you any screenshots available
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 5437200:
I've had multiple reports of people getting error 7 in TWRP while trying to flash, wipe, etc.... I was originally telling people to start over from scratch with stock but that is somewhat of a pain. Luckily another member of the forums was nice enough to pass along info of an easier fix. So if you are getting Error 7 in TWRP, not able to flash, wipe and the such, the easy fix is to:

-Boot into TWRP

-Select the WIPE tab

-Select Advanced WIPE

-Checkmark Data

-Select Repair or Change File System

-Select Repair File System

-Let it do it's thing and you should be all good again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AndroidAssassin:
Hello i recently bought a galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 (Canadian / BELL Mobility) and its veen updated to the latest it can which is android 8.0 (oreo) and id really like to root it without havibg to change my stock rom actually id just be glad to get it rooted also the security patch is up2date as of july 1st 2018
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Salazar33:
The W8 is an exynos model so the bootloader should be unlocked, flash twrp through odin, do a factory reset, reboot to recovery from TWRP itself, flash no-dm-verity zip which should be in your memory card, if you don't have one use mtp in TWRP and copy it to the phone, then install magisk zip and you should be good to go. you can find those two zip files in the forum or just a simple good search.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] threehappypenguins:
Did you have any luck rooting the SM-G930W8 on 8.0? I just acquired the Canadian S7 and I'd like to root it, but I know it's different from the American S7's, and all I can find is how to root the Canadian S7 with Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Salazar33:
It doesn't matter which carrier it is, what matters most is the chip and the bootloader, the Canadian variant uses the Exynos soc so the steps are the same just like the international model. Start by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery, download TWRP for herolte, on your phone enable developer options, then make sure OEM unlock is checked, turn off your phone and boot into Odin, then flash the TWRP image, make sure to uncheck reboot after flash in Odin. Once flashing is done, manually reboot your phone and make sure to enter the recovery mode, do a normal factory reset, the one that asks you to write YES to confirm, then reboot to recovery again, plug your phone to the computer and copy the latest magisk zip then flash it, and that should be it basically.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] threehappypenguins:
I thought the Canadian variant with Exynos already had an unlocked bootloader? There are already instructions on how to root my exact model, but the assumption is 7.0.

I have rooted other phones before, and sometimes the requirement for a version of Android before rooting is very specific. I have no idea where to start to even verify whether the bootloader is truly unlocked, whether or not I can proceed with rooting despite having a different Android version (in my case, 8.0, not 7.0), etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Salazar33:
Sorry there, I guess the correct description would be tripping knox rather than unlocking the bootloader, since you're already familiar with the process then I can tell you its totally the same, nougat and oreo aren't different enough for anything to change, allow OEM unlock, install twrp, do a data wipe, reboot to recovery again, install magisk zip and you're good to go. You might need to flash the dm verity bypass before magisk, that's another zip you can download as well.
[Sprint LG G4] JimmyLippitt216:
Trying to find a sure way to Root the Sprint variant of LG G4. I tried to do it with one thread I found but it didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've only rooted Samsung devices through Odin. Can't figure out how to do this. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
There is a very tiny chance that your LG G4 is somehow running an older version of the software, which is the only way to root (the later software versions, after you accept the software updates, cannot be rooted). Have you ever updated the operating system? Which version of the system are you running?
[Sprint LG G4] JimmyLippitt216:
Thank you for some response. I have never updated the OS, but it's on ZVG. My friend gave it to me like that. It currently doesn't have any service connected to it. There's an update pending for it right now, but if I try to update it through WiFi it doesn't install the update, I'm thinking because there's no service to it anymore. I have noticed that you have to downgrade the OS. I have no clue how to do any of this.
[Sprint LG G4] steadfasterX:
The answer is: UsU.

Read my signature for the unlock method.
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
The problem with UsU is it requires an earlier version of the firmware, I think ZVA or earlier? I think the guy here has already upgraded past that version (ZVB or later). I'm wondering if one day UsU will let you unlock devices that have been updated beyond ZVA?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] blue-wanderer:
So I wanted to get another pressure sensitive stylus for my Tab S4 when I read somewhere that (on top of being based on Wacom technology) that some Wacom pens can work on Samsung tablets.

I tried a lot of googling, reading spec sheets, and so on when I ran across this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837743.

I'm not sure how accurate still is and, if it is still accurate, I'd like some clarification on which Wacom pens are being referred to specifically.

Basically, I'd like to know:

---Are there any Wacom pens that work on the Tab S4?

------If yes, what are they?

------If yes, does it provide similar pressure/tilt and navigation functionality as an S Pen? (Or everything an S Pen does outside of the special air wizard)

Thank you for your time :D

Hey dcoke, I wanted to just thank you for all of your suggestions.

My CS 3002 Wacoms work like a charm. Precision, Pressure and Tilt are perfect :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] yourmumsbootloader:
does the tab s4 have all the features of the note9 digitizer and apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] dcoke:
I assume so. Outside of the bluetooth multimedia control S-Pen.

As for the other guy, Wacom Digitizers determine tilt and sensitivity support, not the stylus itself. Since I tried the old Samsung stylus that I bought for my Note Pro 12.2 and it had tilt support in it, though it came out well before Samsung started implementing support for it. That's when I learned it was the digitizer under the screen determining those characteristics.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] OU812_:
I had my first Android experience a few yrs ago with the Galaxy S2. I enjoyed the ability to change virtually anything visual on the screen but the notifications for emails, calls, texts, etc. was absolute garbage. Kies was pathetic. That, coupled with badge counts for new emails never working correctly, moved me to go with the iPhone. After using the iPhone 5, 5s and now the 6s I am rather bored with Apple.

Currently I am looking at the S9 and have heard amazing things about this phone. Since my last Android experience was the S2 – how improved is the S9? Are my biggest beefs with the previous phone put to rest?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jr866gooner:
After the S2 I vowed to never get a Samsung again. I loved the S2 but I got burned. Anyway the S6 came along and I was pleasantly surprised! They took all the design flaws and pretty much eradicated them.

Put it this way, if id not noticed an improvement between my two phones I'm sure I would have noticed the S9. I'm certain that's even a big leap over my S6!

I'm almost certain I'll return to Samsung next year.

Some AOSP roms include the Snapdragon or Snap camera, which is considerably better than the AOSP one.

You can also try third-party cameras, like Open Camera.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fxz:
Hey, my first proper post here. I have figured out a way to set FPS lock to 60, so you can play Fortnite android at 60fps!! (Also some other cool stuff)

You need to be rooted, so check out this tutorial by high on android on how to play with a rooted phone. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/high...ow-to-run-fortnite-on-any-rooted-android/amp/ This worked on my OnePlus 6 so it should hopefully work for you guys too. It probably also works on other phones.

STEP1: Play a match of Fortnite, just to make sure all files have been created and all that

STEP2: Fully close out Fortnite.

STEP3: Download root explorer app from play store and go to directory: data/data/com.epicgames.fortnite/files/UEF4GAME/FortniteGame/saved/config/android.

STEP4: Open the gameUsersettings.ini file as text with built in RB text editor. Here you can change many things. Be careful as I am not sure if this is banproof or not! Don't blame me for banned accounts.

STEP5: Find the line which says FrameRateLimit=60.000000 and make sure it is 60. Then find the line MobileFPSMode=Mode_30Fps and change 30 to 60. They have other things in this file like graphic settings and things, I messed around and came to this. The [ScalabilityGroups] group has graphic settings.

LOW=0

MED=1

HIGH=2

EPIC=3

This means you can bypass the greyed out graphic options if you want. With this you probably aren't gonna be able to reach 60fps, so maybe try not putting your settings too high.

STEP6: SAVE the file with the button and fully close out if the root explorer. Now open Fortnite and enjoy!

PROBLEMS:

MAY GET BANNED FOR THIS

WERID CAMERA GLITCH IN SPAWN ISLAND AND START OF BUS, ITS FINE AFTER THAT.

SHOWFPS OPTION IN FILE ONLY SHOWS FPS IN LOBBY

FPS IN FORTNITE OPTIONS SAYS TEXTBOX

Please share and comment your experiences with this. I think I am the first person to find this btw. This is an updated version of the old 60fps thing but they patched it. This one is working as of version 5.21.

Make sure your rom passes safety net. Also try reinstalling the game. Make sure to add it to magisk hide BEFORE you open it.

you need to download a safety checker from the playstore in order to check the status because the magisk manager doesn't have a playstore key so it cant check the status.

Safety net checker app from play store is broken as well just use Google pay or try signing into Instagram and if it allows you it means your safety net passed. Also just saying 9.0 beta doesn't pass safety net, with or without root

Cool thanks sounds great! Is the battery life bad from new or because it'll have been used for 2 years? If the second, I'm happy to slap in a replacement battery and back panel if it gets really bad.

Also while I don't plan to get one like this, what's bad about getting a phone with an unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
SONY POLICY TO CONTROL DEVICES advances every year

when X came out it fall under catagory where TA.img can be EXTRACTED and DRMFIX was easy ( simple patching in RAMDISK folder within KERNEL)

so simplifying for u

1. X has battery only 2600Mah , very low! and throughout 2017 when x was on Nougat! i used to get only 4 hours SOC while you socialize via FB/whatsapp on 4G (dual sim variant) , but since April2018 the Oreo version gives 6hours of battery, they fixed some things. I carry powerbank with me just in case.

2. where X is concern MM was Faster, Nougat was good and swift on touch (bad on battery) and Oreo is very good on battery but as device gets hot, it start Lagging specially whenver you areo n 4g and lots of data is being downloaded , all social apps hangs! but after a while it gets better and X comes out of lagging phase

3. there is no harm in buying device with UB but this means DRM keys are lost! its good to have them but you wont be using them ever anways! , just make sure you flash the stockrom again and wipe everything, making sure there are no privacy risks.

Thanks for the explanation, I'll keep it all in mind! Another question I thought: how's the notification LED on this phone? Does it have more than one color? I haven't found much about it, but I consider it really important to using a phone.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
come to think of it, its white only! i never saw different colors LED notifications! perhaps i never paid attention to that ... hmm strange of me..

i will update you in couple of days! but I have usually seen WHITE LED/s ONLY! (Blinking few times in nights, beside my bed) , that i remember! but i don't remember seeding green/pink/red notification blinks!
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] mbc07:
As usual on Xperia devices, the notification LED is RGB, some apps let you change the color directly in their notification settings, but if you want full control I suggest using LightFlow, where you can set any color you want, the flashing pattern and even the brightness of the notification LED...
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] twain55:
It does. Just the app needs to support changing colours. For example, you can set a colour in WhatsApp, and it'll blink that way; For snapchat, it blinks yellow. And the led is embedded in the earpiece.
