[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Chibisuke1219:
Hey so i have the sm-g975u and if anyone would like someone to test some stuff to get root i am willing to help. And yes before you say anything about it ik the chances for root on this phone are very very very slim but i still have hope that it can be done in some way that we might not have ever thought of trying. So plz feel free to ask for my help :) (was told that i should put this in the s10 forum since its more active here)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
You won't be getting any chances on your request because it's not possible. There was one thread here somewhere where someone thought he'd try and I'd suggest you look for it. That went nowhere, plus no one is going to spend time on the Snapdragon phones since they're locked down tight. Any one that tells you they are going to try probably doesn't have any idea what they're doing anyway. Check your post 2 or 3 years from now and see how it's going.

Hi all, I would like to inquire if it is possible to be able to root the Quest and introduce mods, launchers, optimizations and customization especially that it runs snapdragon 835 ? :D
[Oculus Quest] rurie:
Hi!

I found the security patch level of Quest is a bit old.

2017-10-05

Maybe we can use existing vulnerabilty to get root.
[Oculus Quest] Drachenherz_I:
Hehe, i like whre this is heading.

We need kernel hacker. Can anyone help?

---------- Post added at 08:26 ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 ----------

In addition, I found Quest have Qualcomm's EDL mode. By pressing vul-up,down and power will boot in EDL mode.

And Quest supports fastboot on USB Update Mode. but "fastboot oem unlock" needs unlock code.
[Oculus Quest] cicada:
I tried the dirtycow methods but I think that was patched out before this build, no success.

I also tried just running the usual commands to bring up USB Tethering, but that seems to need root as well. All I want is better ALVR streaming :D
[Oculus Quest] reclaimyoursenses:
fyi Oculus is unwilling to provide bootloader unlock codes citing section 4.1 of their Terms of Service, as being in conflict with the request.
[Oculus Quest] sync.demon:
I found this to be interesting.

I've began a support request to get the boot loader unlock codes and explicitly began requesting the GPL code (parts of Android and their Linux kernel source). This should give me a few options.

They may or may not decline giving me the boot loader codes. Not the end of the world.

They are legally obligated to give me certain source code for what's running on this device. Such as the linux kernel with the modifications they've made. If they don't provide this source in it's entirety, then there's some legal implications involved there. The first response from their support was pretty ignorant. They linked me to some download section of their website that only had developer SDKs, not the sources I was requiring of them.

Anyway, once I have the kernel source, if no bootloader codes are provided, I can begin scouring it for ways to elevate to root at least.
[Oculus Quest] reclaimyoursenses:
I believe the kernel for the oculus go is here:

https://github.com/facebookincubator/oculus-go-kernel

I can't see any published quest kernel, perhaps it's the same?
[Oculus Quest] sync.demon:
It's quite possible for the kernel to be the same. I'm going to await confirmation directly from Oculus. If it goes well, I get to unlock my bootloader on top of having the correct source. If it goes poorly, who knows. I might get to see what the legal side of the GNU GPL looks like.

I really want to audit the support for this device and software I own.
[Oculus Quest] cicada:
Not the same. The posted kernel for Go is Linux 3 while Quest is using Linux 4.4.21. They've built on Android, which means they're starting with a stock Linux kernel, I don't think getting their sources is going to clue us into anything that can't be known already; they'll just upload that same vanilla Linux 4 kernel source. The drivers they will use for practically everything are almost certainly closed-source. They don't have to provide their kernel configuration either.

Best of luck on getting the bootloader, though, that's the holy grail at the moment
[Oculus Quest] sync.demon:
Well, the dudes that I'm talking with finally provided kernel source:

https://github.com/facebookincubator/oculus-linux-kernel

It's the Quest Branch of the Oculus Linux Kernel. So we have something to search through for vulnerabilities.

I'm still talking with them about flashing the hardware. I'm not convinced that it's locked, because they seemed a bit confused what I was talking about. Having not touched phone boot loaders in years, I'm still doing my research into the bootloading stuff, since I'm only guessing that it involves a signature check at the moment.
[Oculus Quest] deconfrost:
Waiting for mine to be delivered, where does it store the downloaded game files?
[Oculus Quest] JohanTEA:
The game files, if you mean the apk-files are generally stored on the internal sdcard and are available as movable USB storage. I don't think you even need to set it in developer mode to access the apk files. Anyway, if you set the device in the supplied developer mode it works fine. So there is no problem to load your own applications or backup downloaded games. SideQuest is a great application that simplifies this for semi-advanced users.

You can also use adb quite extensively and for example use scrcpy to dump the full screen output to a computer. Over all the Quest allows you to do most things you need.

But... The "problem" is that the Quest Android OS is locked and some things, mainly Ethernet over USB, have been disabled. You can stream video to the Quest via Wifi and play Oculus or SteamVR games that run on your computer fairly decent as it is now (using AVLR), but if Ethernet over USB was activated it could more or less replace a Oculus Rift or other wired unit completely. Oculus would likely not be happy with this since it would threaten their business/ market strategies, their segmentation of devices and the Oculus Store. But, that is why rooting the device would be interesting.
[Oculus Quest] Pfreaker:
I've been finding holes to install the USB ethernet driver, but with no luck. Hope somebody will root the device so i can use either USB Tethering or a USB Ethernet device. Will even pay the person that can crack the device haha.

If I enter this CMD:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d com.oculus.tv -e uri com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings com.oculus.vrshell/.MainActivity

I can't even enable RNDIS manually, but that is logic since they just only added the WLAN drivers to the device.
[Oculus Quest] taufikari214@gmail.com:
Yesl
[Oculus Quest] jago25_98:
I just want to check that you've definitely tried plugging in a USB-C ethernet adapter? If you haven't I'm going to order one, plug in to the Quest and do lsusb.
[Oculus Quest] nk33:
guys if you use 5ghz wifi you get speeds way faster than you need anyway - I dont know why you so need to enable ethernet?

the quest has a better screen res than the rift as well. Games come up mint using ALVR

I use moonlight to stream normal non-vr games as well - also works flawlessly

however - one thing that doesnt work too well - if i am using ALVR to stream a VR game that uses a gamepad and not the controlers, i pair my XBOX gamepad via bluetooth and ALVR crashes every time.

When i use moonlight and the bluetooth gamepad it does not crash.

This means i can only play VR games which require a gamepad if i am in proximity to the PC itself and not anywhere in the house which is what i would like.

Has anyone found a solution to this "ALVR crashes with Bluetooth Gamepad connected" issue yet?
[Oculus Quest] river58:
Quest Root - 90Hz possibility

With the quest link coming up and the fact that the Quest's OLED displays apparently can support up to 90Hz (Though they won't change it due to needing to verify it with the FCC), I'm hoping that that could be a reason for people to start trying to go for root! Especially with PCVR, a Rooted Quest running at 90Hz would possibly be better than the Oculus Rift S!
[Oculus Quest] Hilledkinged:
one click root???

has anyone tried (one click root) to get root access

https://www.xda-developers.com/best-one-click-root-2018/

maybe the root master works or something else because android 7 was annouced in August 22, 2016 and rootmaster got last update 2017.

sry bad english.

[Oculus Quest] JesseScott31:
Quest and Go in my country is almost double the original price coz of import duty and shipping. I want to customise my snapdragon 845 phone(with 6 gb ram) for explicitly VR to work like Quest(except the 6DOF). I can disable unnecessary services like GPS,Cameras etc. It had heat dissipation similar to Quest(no fan), given that its 845 i think fan is not needed to work like quest.

Is there any Custom ROM for high VR performance that canbe tuned for performance like Quest OS?

What are the things i need to do to the rom to make sure all the resources are allocated to VR?
[Oculus Quest] xtravbx:
Details?
[Oculus Quest] nk33:
I been using moonlight for years to stream games to all my devices.

However Moonlight on its own will not let you play in VR mode.

I have now purchased virtual desktop for the quest and if you install the version for the quest using sidequest u get full steam vr support...its absolutely outstanding means that basically my quest can do anything!!
[Oculus Quest] Hoojib:
Hey all - I'm digging around some of the posts here looking to see if anyone here has made additional progress unlocking the Quest? With the FB requirements now for FB login on Quest 2, I'm fed up with the whole situation and curious to see what's be achieved in opening up Quest 1 for now. (I hadn't even heard about Moonlight until stumbling into this thread, so thank you for that!) Are any of you aware of any projects that have made headway in the possibility of a custom ROM for the OG Quest? The past few days I've been imagining a custom Android build using SideQuest as the foundation of an open store ecosystem. Who knows...maybe it can grow into something bigger, something that could give us an alternative to Facebook's Apple-like approach to VR.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagabontin:
Hey guys, I am new to the forum, but I wanted to share my experience with the 7 pro. I won't talk about the display, it really is that amazing. The first day I had a couple of not so great experiences with two things : camera and gestures. The telephoto camera was really bad, I couldn't take even one normal portrait photo with it. The focus was off, everything was blurry, just plain awful. The standard camera was good and the wide also nice. For some reason I couldn't get my mobile network to work. Then I installed the update from oneplus and both the camera and network issue were fixed like magic :laugh:

About the gestures: I decided to use the gestures from oxygen os, not the standard or the Google ones, because the screen really is suited for them. But as I've never used them before I had a hard time getting adjusted. Main problem was the motion to see all apps. It took me a good few hours only doing that until I could do it somewhat successfully.

Battery : I'm not a heavy user and my last phone was the LG g6 so I had to learn all the tricks to a good battery life :laugh: My setup is: auto sync is off, dark mode on, brightness around 40%, 90hz auto switch. Half of the time it's on mobile network the other on Wi-Fi. I don't use nfc, Bluetooth maybe an hour a day, location also very rarely on. The SOT I get is around 8 and a half hours. I do play games for 2-3 hours daily.

If you have questions or suggestions to improve my experience please share :fingers-crossed:).
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rdsreference:
I agree with you [emoji817]% on almost everything. Camera is horrible. They really need a software fix. Fast

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Everything except for the camera is great but the camera is a deal breaker, its a disaster.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mrlynch:
Completely agree! I had pretty much decided to return it earlier due to the camera, however, I tried a few gcams this afternoon to see if there was any potential and there was some big improvements.

I'm hoping a dedicated gcam port will save this phone, I've got two weeks to decide on whether to return it. It's a shame that at £700 we are relying on the community to save a "Pro" phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dabarr:
Relax guys. There was the same issue on the oneplus 6 when I got it. A few software updates later and the camera was decent. (Not impressive though but that's just the camera hardware and lens built into it).

I'm not worried at all, it will get better and gcam helps as well. There are better ports incoming for sure.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagabontin:
My camera issues were mostly fixed with an update. Does anyone have issues with games freezing?

I dont think it would be a downgrade tbh.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] Jairus24:
If gaming performance is not that important to you, trust me, you won't miss that much. Screen is basically the same, both phones are snappy but navigation is a bit different though especially the gestures (I love the One UI gestures, it's more convenient having the recent, home and back button in the same place down the screen rather than swiping the left and right on the edge of the screen). I bought the 9 SE as a secondary phone to my Galaxy S9+ because my S9+ rear camera and fingerprint module has already failed just right after the 1 year warranty period expired (just my pure luck). Having it fix here in my country cost way too much money so I just decided to get a phone with a decent camera instead until I can renew my contract from carrier next year.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] baconbeacon:
Just curious, why didn't you choose pixel 3a if camera was your need? Price?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] Jairus24:
Well, Pixel phones are not officially supported or even sold in my country. I can get it in the grey market but I won't make such gamble especially if I'm spending $300 and above, warranty is important too if I will be investing that much.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] baconbeacon:
Since I had my mi9se, I'll write some things that aren't noticeable without it:

1. the camera bump is really tall. 1.55mm isn't something like unnoticeable. also, its edges are sharp, so it's not a good design.

2. it's noticeably heaver than s8. my s8 without case&screen protection weighs 150g(using with really thin TPU case: 10g), and mi9se with glass screen protector but without case weighs 165g. BTW, stock TPU case is 16g, and it's not even fully covering the camera bump.

3. Fingerprint in display is cool, but not as fast as traditional ones. Though, it's not that slower compared with my unrooted S8.(using havoc ROM)

4. Proper GCam mod won't be avalable very soon, because of a bug made by xiaomi. It's snapdragon, so HDR+ process is way faster than S8, but because of that bug, pictures have a yellowish tone.

5. Custom ROM development isn't very popular for a Xiaomi device.

6. No waterproofing, and durability is unknown. If you are wondering what I'm saying, go search "jerryrigeverything" at youtube, and watch his video about xiaomi/redmi.

Now for the good part:

1. The display is very bright. Brighter than S8.

2. Having a wide angle lens is nice. Really, it's nice.

3. There definitively are developers, and we've got proper ROM(Havoc, came just in a few days ago)! yes, non-MiUI, non-GSI, proper custom ROM!

All in all, not a perfect device, but great bang for the buck.

BTW, mi cc9e is coming with a bigger battery, but I suspect it's gonna be really heavy.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] cd492:
In my Opinion the main reason to get a 9SE instead of a S8 is the price. So if you have to look at your money take the 9SE.

In a week the MI A3 should be purchaseable, this phone could be a choice as well. Not sure if a MI A3 Lite is gonna be released as well.

First of all, Yes I know there is a SiriusXM App, needing cell service for satellite radio doesn't make much sense.

Hello everybody,

I am really confused right now that to buy S10+ or not.

The issue I am stuck between is the Exynos and the Snapdragon.

I've seen several people talking that SD is better than Exynos and the gaming performance is also not good in it.Also,Camera is also not good.

Although,In my region I have only exynos available.

What should I do?

If I get a SD version from somebody what problems will I have to face then?

Please somebody leave a reply so that I can reach to a final conclusion.

Thanks,
