[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekomeow:
Hello, recently I tried to flash my phone in flashtool and always stuck at "reading device information", even xperia companion can't detect it !

I re-installed all drivers, tried old versions of flashtool and firmware but always the same problem.

My phone is rooted but I don't know about bootloader. Any help? suggestions?

Thanks :)

Hi, I managed today to get mine working again. I had rooted it with RR but then got a bootloop. After giving up I found a forum that mentioned Sony Emma and I have managed to get my phone back to stock rom and working fine again.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekomeow:
Already tried Emma, didn't work either ! but can you share the link with me, I may give it a try.

Did you install the unsigned drivers as well ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekomeow:
If you mean the ones in flashtool drivers, well YES!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~ Minato ~:
Try this.

Remove whatever flashtool version you have.

Disable windows driver signature enforcement.

https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

Restart your pc or laptop.

Install ADB.You might not need this but just to be on the safe side.

URL="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE&authuser=0

Install flashtool-0.9.18.6 with all the drivers.

(For some reason this is the most compatible one for Xperia Z2)

Then try flashing again.

sorry about the late reply. ?

Let me know how it goes ✌
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekomeow:
Did all of that and same problem stuck at "Reading device information" :(

Maybe it's a Hardware problem not software ! what do you think ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~ Minato ~:
It really seems like a flashtool/driver issue .I had the same error a while back , i used that version and it's drivers as i mentioned earlier and everything worked fine.

Just to be on the safe side,give it a try on another pc and see ✌

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sthsga:
Hi everyone!

I'm currently facing an unusual problem with my Mi A2. It happens only while sharing internet through WiFi hotspot.

The problem is, when I share my cellular internet through WiFi hotspot, suddenly & randomly the screen (not the phone) goes off & locked and cellular network drops and it shows "No service". Immediately after that when I press the power button to turn on the screen, I can see that the network is being searched by the phone and restored within a minute. Sometimes this happens too frequently.

I'm currently on Android Pie with February security update and both the SIMs are turned on and belongs to the same operator (Grameen Phone).

Does anybody have faced this issue? Or, what might be the root cause behind this problem or suggestions for fixing this issue are appreciated highly.

Thanks in advance!

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] systemshock869:
Hey there, I just got a Pixel and I'm loving it so far. Digging into the forms I am seeing a lot of old and possibly outdated information.. is there a good guide on rooting/flashing from a fully updated phone?

I was also wondering if there was a general consensus on the most rock solid ROM. I used to tinker constantly but I am really valuing stability these days as I am fairly busy. Some devices seem to handle custom kernels/ROMs better while some devices always run better on a stock base.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] thewraith420:
I'm pretty new to it as well but from my experience both the custom rom and stock are very reliable. I've tried pixeldust but so far haven't tried other Roms.

How to use without a PC

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TERMINAL APP

You can optionally use mtk-su from a terminal emulator such as Termux or Terminal Emulator for Android (my preference). The gist of the process is to copy the executable to the terminal app's internal directory and run it from there. These are the instructions for Termux, but a similar procedure applies to all terminal shell apps.

Download the current mtk_su zip to your device and unzip it. Take note of where you extracted it. Pick the variant that fits your device. (See above.)

Open Termux and copy the mtk-su binary to its home directory, which in this case is the shell's initial working directory.

General idea: cp path/to/mtk-su ./

For example,

cp /sdcard/mtk-su_r14/arm64/mtk-su ./

For this to work, you have to enable the Storage permission for your term app. Do not try to circumvent the cp command with clever copying methods involving file managers or external tools. Mtk-su will not get the right permissions that way.

Make file executable

chmod 700 mtk-su

Run the program

./mtk-su

If mtk-su fails, post the output of ./mtk-su -v here along with a link to firmware and kernel sources, if possible.

Note that for most terminal shell apps, the internal app directory is stored in the variable $HOME. So in general you would do

cd

cp path/to/mtk-su ./

chmod 700 mtk-su

./mtk-su
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] cybersaga:
Great work!

So could this theoretically work for any Mediatek device? Or do specific modifications need to be done for another model chip?

What do you think is likely the worst to happen if this is tried as-is on another device? Will it just not work? Or explode the device? :)

I have an Acer B3-A40 that has an MT8167 chip that I wouldn't mind rooting.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
[MENTION=9294334]cybersaga[/MENTION], yes, it's very possible it will work on an mt8167 device. Although I can't 100% guarantee it won't damage your device, I would just go ahead and try it. The risk is very minimal. It will print some error if it fails. I think realistically, I would need to tweak some parameters or make a workaround if there's a problem.

The method should be applicable to most

64-bit

platforms. There are newer 4.x kernels where the necessary hole is not present, though. But time will tell what devices this ultimately will be compatible with.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] cybersaga:
That's super neat. :) I'll probably give it a try sometime this week.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] xyz`:
Very cool from what I can see, however it doesn't work on HD8 2018 because there's no 64-bit userspace (only the kernel is 64-bit), could you recompile it for arm?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Oh, that's a bummer, [MENTION=9667509]xyz`[/MENTION]. Why would they do that? I think there's some other tweaks I have to make besides compiling it. I'll post a test version as soon as I can. This might be the case for other devices too...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] xyz`:
Maybe you can just compile it as a static binary instead if that's easier.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dutchthomas:
Awesome! I just rooted my HD8 2017

Try the automated script by [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION]

Previous instructions:

For anyone that is confused by the process of manually installing SuperSu, I did the following...

IMPORTANT: This is for FireOS 5 devices such as HD8 2017. Do not attempt this on HD8 2018

Install SuperSu from Playstore

Download SuperSu and unzip somewhere

adb push arm64/su arm64/supolicy arm64/libsupol.so /data/local/tmp

Follow directions from OP to get a root shell. You should not get permission denied when running ls. If you see permission denied, run exit and try again. Took me a few tries

mount -o remount -rw /system

cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su

cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/daemonsu

cp /data/local/tmp/supolicy /system/xbin/

cp /data/local/tmp/libsupol.so /system/lib/

cp /data/local/tmp/libsupol.so /system/lib64/

chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su

chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/su

chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu

chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /system/xbin/daemonsu

at this point, running su should work and show a root shell

daemonsu --auto-daemon

Open SuperSu app and allow it to update the su binary

My tablet hung at the boot logo when I manually installed SuperSu via the linked instructions. Installing the bare minimum and letting the SuperSu app do the rest seems less error-prone
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] teamfresno:
Thanks for this! I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but everything works fine until I get to #11. Do I just type su? When I do, it says permission denied.

EDIT: Just tried the new commands you edited and it worked. My FireHD 8 7th gen is now rooted.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] k4y0z:
Great work!

If you want to zero out preloader, you should do it this way:

su -c "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro; cat /dev/zero > /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0; echo 'EMMC_BOOT' > /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0"

that way the sanity check of amonet won't fail.

I'm not sure about the boot0 size on the HD8. According to [MENTION=9667509]xyz`[/MENTION] it is 4MB on the HD8 as well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] diplomatic:
Thanks for the feedback, bro! So the HD8 2016 is crossed off the untested list. For the HD8 2018, as far as I see, you can just flash the premade TWRP to recovery by dd. Why do you need to do the whole bootrom procedure? Then reboot to recovery to check if everything's ok. If not, Android will just restore the stock recovery on next boot. If TWRP works, just install Magisk or whatever you do to modify boot.

Oh, nice, thanks for this... This is more straightfoward than doing it "offline". I just realized Chainfire has instructions specifically for dealing with exploits here.
