Hi,

After my battery totally discharged, by cellphone entered in a bootloop. I can't acess anything besides download mode. I did try to flash the latest OS for my device (previously I was with 7.0 ) with tor. It did suceed, but after I flashed it didn't even install the OS, went straight back to bootloop. Is there anything that I can still try?

Thanks!

Hello all. I recently received my Pixel 3 and everything was great with my battery the first couple of days with almost 5-6 hours of SOT. Now after fully setting up all my apps and accounts I am only getting about 3-4 hours tops of SOT. What is the best way to determine which app and/or account is causing this issue? I've tried to determine it through the battery details in my settings but it's not goving me enough details to determine it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Any chance at unlocking and rooting the b&h g7?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ali Mirza:
The main reason I bought the USA unlocked G710ULM is to wait for the official bootloader unlock from LG. Unlike the US997 LG G6 is enjoying root, I'm surprised and upset that the USA unlocked LG V30 (US998) and now the LG G7 (G710ULM) has no word from LG. :mad: They just want us to purchase the European unlocked, which is more expensive , they are out of my price range in buying my favorite LG flagship. The US variant is reasonably well priced where as the European variants aren't. 11th July was the launch of the G710ULM and 4 months nothing from LG. :mad:

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
Honor 8X Vs. 7X

​

I got the Honor 7X when it came out in 2017 and was lucky enough to get the 8X after its recent release. While the Honor 8X is a great phone, there has been a bit of price increase since the 7X. There's also the issue with the 8X not even being available in the U.S., and I'm not sure if there are plans to even release this phone here. But putting all that aside, I'll let you know how the phones compare to each other.

Honor 8X

6.5" 1080x2340p

Kirin 710

4/6GB RAM

64/128GB Storage

20+2MP Main Camera

16MP Selfie Camera

3750mAh Battery

Honor 7X

5.93" 1080x2160p

Kirin 659

3/4GB RAM

32/64GB Storage

16+2MP Main Camera

8MP Selfie Camera

3340mAh Battery

Display

The Honor 8X has a really impressive display. The 91% screen-to-body ratio means the phones stays about the same size, but the 8X has a significantly bigger display. As far as quality goes, the phones are on par with each other. But that extra screen space is definitely worth the upgrade. It's also worth mentioning that the 8X has a notched display and a much taller 19.5:9 ratio.

Performance

The 7X wasn't a beast when it came to 3D gaming. But then again, it was still one of the best phones in that price range. The Honor 8X has a Kirin 710, up to 6GB of RAM, and a Mali-G51 MP4. These improvements mean performance has had a big bump. Games like PUBG run flawlessly and performance overall is much better.

Camera

I have done camera reviews for both of these phones, and the Honor 8X is significantly better. The AI camera system is now implemented into the Honor X series, making its first appearance on the 8X. Some of the features that have been added in the 8X are Slow-mo, AI Mode, Night Mode, Portrait Mode and AR Lens.

Build Quality

Now I'm a big fan of metal unibody designs. So the 7X has a design that I really like. That being said, the 8X has the glass back aurora-style design from the Honor flagship phones. Both of these designs are solid and it will just come down to your personal preference. I really like the way that the Honor 8X looks, but like the solid and durable feel of the 7X a little better. Both phones look better in the brighter color variants.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] SkeeterMY:
Is there so little people using the Honor 8x?

I mean, there are phone releases by other manufacturers in the same month of October but I'm pretty sure that the price point of the Honor 8x is appealing.

With Honor also churning out more phones, its hard to make up my mind on which model to get.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Drowwy:
I don't think there are little people using it but a lot of people on XDA want phones that are open for development (which Honor is no longer).

If you don't care about custom ROMs, I think the 8X is a good deal.

Good **** my dude! Ill be seeing what can be done in my spare time to get this done for 100 bucks the thing is locked down tight. Or just so kadiwompus there is no simple answer. Ive been lerking this for a while now and have several j7sp's at my disposal. I do sec work and clients that have needs for SU gooyness for this device. Get with me and ill flash anything any way with whatever software and base infrastructure needed. I mostly do scummy peoples sec work so having the ability to melt wash the data is paramount and using s5's is getting harder and harder. this hundered dollar peice of her shuck donnng is what I need for what I do. although linux is my bag android and the phone scene is new to me. just here to help with the resources to lend aid.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
That's awesome! I have a couple good ideas still I never got around to trying on the note 5.

And now that the S7 and S8 are as rooted and customized as they are, people are able to see how much of my concept for the greyhat root project was actually viable. System Root has always been more viable on Samsung devices. Systemless' concept doesn't work with Samsung since 6.0 by strict definition. If they could have mixed the systemless injection method with the system configuration it might have worked better.

Samsung still ships with Qualcomm Modems. And Qualcomm still dictates much of the Samsung experience. In the S6 line, the QC modems were installed before Samsung ever installed any firnware. The modems played a big part on their secured environment. I'm telling you I was able to get modaco's superboot to boot on my Verizon s6 edge once. But the thread was deleted by xda. And it worked because of the commands sent to the modem by the send_command.exe app.

DM, AT Commands, and a deeper knowledge of the QC environment is actually key to unlocking more of the device's potential.

I tried mixing up firmware bits of the stock RF2 and combination RF1. And it didn't boot the system. But I could boot into full recovery every time.

I'm also looking into a couple and will report back soon. It will be then, that I may need help acquiring a couple tools. Because I know a few other Samsung devs that could help but probably won't. I'm going to have to learn a lot from scratch. I have a few really good ideas that have already worked on other devices. I just don't have as much of a full understanding as I'd like before I tried some of it.

I need to get a few of my questions answered about a couple rooting methods that weren't explained in depth enough for me. Like I've seen some devices be rooted in a way I think the J7 Sky Pro could possibly be rooted, but I don't know how to do such an in depth analysis on some of the files involved. Seriously speaking, I need someone who is on call that could just give me some nitty gritty details when I need them and I'd be fine I think.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
My next course of action includes trying to flash the Nougat Firmware to the device to see if the StraightTalk Variant can still support 7.0.

It also includes testing the J727VL from the POV of Kali Linux, and Running as much of the official firmware inside the Android Emulator as possible. Our combination firmware does not include ADB Root like LP Versions do. So with DM-Verity enabled so well, and both the stock and combination firmware being tied to the same signatures from the previous bootloader revision, I'm guessing there isn't much of a chance to get a lot done with just simple SELinux Permissive.

But I have a feeling since nothing seems to change much from 3ARC1 to 4ARF2, we may have a way to get some modified images flashed to the device. And I feel like it has to do with the order of images being flashed.

Because when I was on 4ARF2 factory binary, I was able to get to the 3ARC1 aboot.mbn to flash for a second, but ODIN failed once the sbl.mbn tried to flash from 3ARC1. It gave me an aboot revision check error, but it didn't show up until the secondary bootloader tried to flash.

As in, it would have flashed if it were not for the Software Revision Check. Which I've heard can actually be modified to a degree. But just modifying revision flags in the binary data might not solve our problem fully. I've also read from Qualcomm that the modem installed on our chipset should actually support GSM bands technically. Maybe we just need the secret menu IME code to get to the bands selection menu.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Justin1198:
The Tracfone

SM-727VL

4ARF2 is 6.0.1 not 7.0 like the firmware website(s) report.

I have the Tracfone

SM-727VL

and I am on 4ARF2 which is 6.0.1 (while my damn J3 Luna Pro is on 7.0 :rolleyes: )

The StraightTalk/Tracfone

SM-727VL

both are 6.0.1 on their latest firmwares.

The Verizon

SM-727V

however is on 8.0.1 already.

Hopefully it may help.View attachment 4650239

I also attached the quick shortcut maker.apk
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
The Verizon version has yet to update past the second revision bootloader though. Yes 4ARF2 is currently 6.0.1, But all the repair firmwares and all the websites that report on this same device outside the straighttalk network, report as 7.0.

It is interesting only because it seems like not much changed security wise from revision 3 to revision 4. It is possible they just temporarily locked it to 6.0.1.

The boot.img and recovery.img are signed with test keys and have a combination version available. The revision 4 firmware looks so similar to the revision 3. My phone forced itself to update from 3ARC1. By itself. I did nothing but it took it upon itself to update my firmware even though I never wanted it to. The Firmware should exist somewhere. And I don't see why either of these carriers would take such great pains to lock down a device when they are kings of unlocked devices and BYOP plans...

I haven't finished doing a lot of stuff. Holiday times...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
Well the journey ended before it really had a chance to take off. The farthest I actually achieved was just Permissive SELinux via the combination boot.img

My phone is bricked, harder even than my S6 Edge stuck in 9008 mode. It literally will not power on and will not charge.

This happened after I was messing with the aboot.mbn and boot.img from the combination trying to add more functionality to ADB's access. Well I was able to get the prince comsey ODIN to flash my tar of the aboot & boot, only for my phone to never power back after the autoreboot.

So whatever I did, ODIN didn't catch on and let the images flash, only it messed up the device. At least with my S6 Edge I know that Partition Tables are gone, I have no idea what happened to my Sky Pro today. Sad times indeed. The only chance I have is to try and write the bootloader to the SD Card via T-Flash, and hope it can give it a jump. Secure Boot usually disallows that though.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Justin1198:
Made an image https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hkNQZPJhMjRsFSm-DQqqWPo1xRdGjcGI if anyone needs it. Always got to be safe.

How are you able to modify the images and getting them to apply to the device? I'm not able to without the phone throwing the security checks.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
Thanks, I will try this out. However I don't have high hopes. I did find out what happened to my 64GB SD Card awhile back though, T-Flash Mode actually wrote my entire firmware to the SD Card, It kept bootlooping though. It didn't break my card, just formatted it improperly for regular use.

It would be really friggin awesome if my device (Actually Manufactured this year Summer 2018) could still be debricked via SD. I thought that ability died a long time ago. I was reading that a Secure Boot Vulnerability (reported AND patched by SS in 2016) allowed T-Flash mode to allow flashing/booting of a non-signed kernel image. So I'm not sure this is an option anymore, but It can't hurt to try at this point.

I will get back to you soon.

I was using someone elses FRP Tool that can enable ADB on non ADB Enabled Firmware, essentially giving an ADB Root Shell at least. The program seems to have modified the aboot.mbn and the boot.img. I honestly Wish I knew what it did, because it bricked my device. I also used a .tar archive, instead of a .tar.md5

I believe that skips some of the security checks. At least the initial CheckSum. It is hard to get a straight answer about how ODIN functions internally sometimes, because the people that DO know usually don't talk. The people who have modified ODIN have a very niche body of knowledge to edit a program that is basically undocumented, especially since I can't get anyone who has modified ODIN for a specific purpose to tell me exactly why. All they tell me is that they modified ODIN to skip a specific checksum while flashing. Ok? But why? And how did you figure that out?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Justin1198:
I've included a few links to this thread in other threads about root. Explained the situation above for the people who are curious. Keep me informed of anything you discover and I'll let you know what I discover. I should have more time to look into the device after exams next week. See if you can get your device down to the first release? Maybe we could open the door for more methods or something.

I’ll keep trying in my spare time to find something (because I know there is something) that will allow root on this device. I’ll keep trying and mirror everything we try on the J3 also to knock out two birds with one stone. Let me know if you need any files or anything. Hopefully you can get your phone fixed, if you can’t, take it up to a Samsung care center and see if you can swap it. Call it a “factory flaw” :P
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Delgoth:
I actually have a Verizon S5 and have gone through all of that before. It isn't working here, I believe our hardware to be too new on the 727VL.

VOLTE comes from using the combination modem of 4ARF1.

The first debrick file didn't work. I only tried writing it once though to SD Card. when debricking my d2vzw (VZW S3) I've sometimes had to write the debrick image to the SD 4 times before I could get it to work. Or Samsung got smart and stopped letting these kinds of repairs happen for free...

And I'm pretty sure not much at all changed from 3ARC1 to 4ARF2 except a bootloader revision update. Those changes could be tracked down via examining the rootable and unlockable versions of the the other J series variants with a revision 4 bootloader. It really seems like everything down to even the veritykey is the same from revision 3 to revision 4 bootloader. I feel it wouldn't be too hard to crack. But Tracfone also forces updates to binary 4 bootloader from binary 3. They force the security policy update on you to patch everything that would have already got us root from the last year of MM exploits...
