hi can anyone tell me how can i get stock recovery.img for my sony xzp dual sim and remove twrp? i think it didn't install well cuz when i check for root it says "root is not installed properly" so i wanna remove it to stock
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
There is no stock recovery for Sony phones mate, reflash your firmware with Flashtool or Newflasher to remove it completely.

You need to flash magisk as well, just installing twrp doesnt root your phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Mad07:
You can try this one:

https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/how-to/ftf-firmware-g8141-g8142-47-1-8-49-t3734592

Don't forget to tag the wipe options, otherwise it could be possible that the phone is after flashing in a bootloop (happen on my side ;) )

Please keep in mind:

In Orego the camera and so on doesn't work anymore, because of the deleted DRM Keys ... after that upgrade to Pie
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
If I upgrade to pie the camera will get fixed? I am trynna remove this root so I can fix it. Well that's what I was told
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
If you lost your DRM, you can still have root. Root is not the reason of the green picture, it's the behavior that unlock the Bootloader delete the DRM Keys. With Pie the camera should be working with or without root
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
yeh i know. i upgraded to android 9 camera works fine but i can only put 17mp highest not 19mp,

and about root someone from sony in repair center i should remove the root so they can fix it under warranty thats why i wanna remove it but its still rooted after upgrade is there anyway to remove it? i think its twrp thingy
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
how do i remove it with newflasher? when i check for root it says root is not installed properly, and when i try to backup my stuff it says "rooted devices cant be backed up" and i wanna remove this whole twrp and magisk
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
From what I know : root can not be reverse : One time root, every time root with all conseqences.

About the "half" rooted device:

Does you have enabled OEM bootloader before unlook the BL in the developer menu?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
the bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
In this case : No way back, no warranty
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
yeh probably. but i still wanna remove the root
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
Remove Root: anyway of which Rom you've in use: uninstall Magist or SuperSu; or flash a Stockrom; or flash a custom rom without incl. root (e. g. CM without add. Addon for Root) Root is gone.... but Your BL is still unlocked and in case that you haven't backup and restore the TA partition : your DRM Keys are lost.

For warranty, Sony looks at the Bootloader... so I didn't understand what is your final goal?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
I tried flashing a stock room but it still says there's root. And for ur question. Someone from Sony repair center told me to remove the root and he will try get it fixed under warranty not sure yet
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Beetle84:
This is nonsense. If you flashed a stock rom with newflasher or flashtool, root has to be removed.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
thats what it says.. i tried to back up the apps and other stuff it says "rooted devices cant be backed up"

and when i use root checker it says "root is not installed properly on this device" which is weird i tried flashing stock rom and factory reset still same " is there anything i need to wipe? maybe i am missing something
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
Is there a good app to check if I still have root? Maybe the one I am using doesn't actually work
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
install Adaway... this App need the root permissions...

If you have root and an app like SuperSu, Magisk.... the app will ask you, if Adaway should received the rights or not.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante951:
idk really whats going on here.. when i try to back up the phone it says rooted devices cant be backed up.

i tried different apps and they all said the phone is not rooted.. i am really confused

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon.baker670:
Hi,

I want to mod Whatsapp on my own without using third party apps such as GBwhatsapp , Whatsapp plus, parallel space apk, appcloner apk...etc. I want to know how they do it.

What i Found

I tried using an android application that clones whatsapp and found there is two methods used:

1. Workspace Method: Parallel Space installs whatsapp in the root folder of the Parallel space application it self without changing in the code or any thing. There is several apps that do the same. ( I am not interested in this method)

2. Apk editing method: Appcloner apk, it clones whatsapp to a different name and allows modification to the app, but on one condition the original whatsapp version must be installed in order to verify the whatsapp number. (This is what i am trying to do manually) but i need to solve the problem where i dont need to install the original app in order to work(gbwhatsapp solved this problem but how?)

What i tried:

A.

I tried decompiling the whatsapp using (apktool, ApkEdit) then signing the app using zipsigner. The app gets installed but the problem is i cant get pass whatsapp verification number it gives an error and returns whatsapp to the first page:

"Something is wrong with your version of whatsapp. Please download the latest version from our website: https://whatsapp.com/android."

This is the error that i face and i want a fix for it.

B.

I used zipsigner on the original whatsapp apk file and signed the apk with new signiture then installed the app. I found that it gave the same error as above.

Conclusion:

Changing whatsapp apk signature prevents you from verifying the whatsapp number.

Can any one provide us with a fix how can we do this and mod our own version of whatsapp. I presume there is something to do with exposed since i found exposed modules in the decompiled folder for the cloned Whatsapp apk by appcloner and the apk gbwhatsapp.

Thanks

This is kinda illegal and you can't ask anything about that here as it's against the XDA rules.Unless you made Whatsapp yourself and want help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon.baker670:
Hi,

How is this illegal and all posts on xda regarding Gbwhatsapp and yowhatsapp and other whatsapp modded apk's are legal :confused:

All i want to know the process of making similar whatsapp mods manually because at the end no one knows if these moded apk's out there are clean and doesn't have any trojans.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
It IS ILLEGAL.By all standards.Modding an apk through Lucky Patcher is Technically legal as you are not modding the app rather than modding The Android OS Which is Open source.If the GBWhatsapp guy was in America or anywhere in sight of Whatsapp company he would be sued very hard.Also read XDA rules once before posting anything here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atifbaig786:
It is highly unethical to post Modded apps on XDA if you don't own them.No matter how you try.Because you won't find anything on forums related to luckypatcher or Game guardian because modding apps and discussing them leads to legal notices leading to headaches being caused in xda.You can however name the app X and ask anyone how to do it.But you must no reveal your intentions.Also I challenge you to find a post related to lucky patching game guardian hacking or modding whatsapp or any app related to copyright infringement
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalfish:
Firstly its very unethical, secondly why are the mods even allowing this thread to be still open ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
If you think it deserves attention, report it instead of asking why it's still open.

On a separate note, after reading through the thread I'm letting it stay open. While OP references other modded versions of Whatsapp, he's not providing one himself that goes against rules 6 and 9 of the forum, available here.

Do note though, that POSTING something modified through illegitimate means is cause for further action. Especially so if they're modded by clearly frowned-upon ways, like Lucky Patcher.

Also

Especially

if they provide you features that you'd normally have to pay for or obtain otherwise.

I'm going to move this to a more suitable section, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacktemp:
It's not illegal to create mods of apks unless the modded app let's you use some service that is PAID in the original apk. Modifying or adding extra features to apps like Whatsapp is not illegal (One such example would be Youtube vanced, which is modded version of Youtube with no ads, etc etc).;)

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Do some research before you say anything.

Here is a modded version of Youtube on XDA, YouTube Vanced.

And I don't see any copyright strike on this post that I linked. So, what's the thing that you challenged [MENTION=9583021]simon.baker670[/MENTION]? I'm sure he didn't ask anything about using Lucky Patcher or Game guardian for modding.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascarre:
This is preety easy and simple to do.

You just need to Hook Java Signature api function so to bypass the security verification of signature to fix Login or ban issues. And then use custom key (only) for signing apk. You can use public sign but this may ban you. Now your modding is complete. Simply add the functions you want in whatsapp and use them for this you need smali modification skills and also have knowledge of java to make the modifications in whatsapp or kinda any android app. Its pretty easy to do modifications on any android apps.

Hope it helps. I know its kinda late but cant help it.

And to others who think if modding apps is illegal or not. Its illegal to mod any app without the consent of the company handling the app. To mod a apk you need a proper consent of the company and agreement just like a bug bounty program. But most companies dont bother because people basically just edit apk to put their names and make themselves cool. Anyways don't publish those apps that you mod, just make them for personal use.

I was using Oxygen os 5.6.1 rom and flashed pie roms and faced this brightness issue..

Is there any way out
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Jerome Matthew:
It's not a brightness issue. Google changed the brightness algorithms on Pie. Even on Pixel devices. 0-75% brightness is very incremental in terms of brightness. Then 75-100% is very sensitive and has the most visible difference in brightness. You can look this up on Google as well. Unfortunetly it'll most likely be this way on all pie based ROMs.

A large enough battery to power it all for a reasonable amount of time

In my case:

No notch. Even if it can be disabled, it's still annoying to have initially.

Nothing bigger than 6" for screen size. My pocket isn't ready for bigger.

Decent camera. I'm not asking wonders here, just decent night shots.

Good battery life. I expect it at least live out 9 hours with intensive use(YouTube, games, etc) on 4G.

At least good mid-range CPU.

NFC.

Front-facing fingerprint sensor, can be under screen.

Capacitive back and menu buttons. Most if not all new phones lack this. I could live with gestures, but this is about the perfect smartphone for me.

Not required, but nice to have: Able to survive most short drops(no more than 30cm) without any damage.
