[General Questions and Answers] LL99-KF7:
Hi all.

I'll make my apologies if this post is in the wrong place or against any rules, if so sorry for creating more work for the mods!

I dabble in Linux, so bear with me here. I am not a complete noob, but to some of you folks here, I am certainly in the gutter of the pecking order ;)

So I got a cheap Amazon Kindle Fire 7" 2019 model, and thanks to this forum have used diplomatic's mtk-su tool to get superuser (su/root) on adb and Termux, which has allowed me to get rid of a lot of Amazon bloat and data collection, and system apps that just aren't useful, replace the launcher and generally make this tablet useable.

I have not, as of yet, installed a modified boot loader/twrp/magisk stuff. I am trying to avoid that route, as there is quite a chance of me messing up and I am destructive when trying to take things apart (maybe unplug battery required).

On to network interface security.

I've installed NetGuard, read a lot and understand the idea behind how it works. Dump unwanted traffic to a sinkhole VPN connection.

I would like to utilise iptables. After using mtk-su in termux, I can access and create rules and these apply instantly. All seems to work as expected, however, as we all know iptables rules are not persistent and a reboot clears them all out and replaces with the stock ruleset - which is a bit too open and has strange stuff in it.

Q:

Run a my_rules script on startup.

So I can write a .sh script with the iptables rules I want applied. It won't have root permission and won't run, but if executed at boot time by another script? ( .rc ) which does have permission to do root things, the script should run, rules be applied and I can be happy.

For one thing, I am not sure quite where to add my script. I have read somewhere that the .rc files I can see are actually created from a secure/encrypted/compressed store which is uncompressed at boot time. So editing an .rc file which is freshly created is pointless.

Secondly, I guess import <name of script -no.sh extension->? won't work, and will probably need service <name of script> and oneshot or another command.

Am I going to have to go the twrp/magisk route? Do I really need to make changes to more than I can access with root and a terminal on the running device?

Thank you for your time and patience to read this post.
[General Questions and Answers] LL99-KF7:
I am obviously not reading enough!

It seems the /system/ folder is all read-only. I can't even "cp /system/bin/install-recovery.sh /system/bin/install-recovery_bak.sh" to back up the existing.

Will try mounting /system as rw, maybe.

*edit*

OK, a major problem is that /system is not writable. mount -o remount,rw /system or /dev/block/dm-0 looks like it works but the location still cannot accept new files created or changes to existing files.

There seems to be a watchdog or something running which prevents changes to the mounting here.

So, I conclude this is what people mean by rooting - booting a modified system which allows access to these such places. Having su in a terminal /adb is all great, but still can't do everything - opens up the opportunity of going further and changing boot loader, twrp and magisk though.

Sigh, I was hoping to avoid that path.

I can, at least, launch a small shell script which would leverage mtk-su to run and write my iptables rules into the running system. But this would be a manual exercise and I am bound to forget to apply it.

If mods wish to delete this thread, I have no objection. but maybe it might help someone else in my situation to understand a little more or maybe not.

I think I am showing how much of a noob I am here. Sorry.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Yousie642:
I have tried Resurrection Remix and OmniRom, and I can't get wifi calling to work on either of them. Neither ROM's thread has any mention that wifi calling does not work, and I tried asking in the Resurrection Remix thread for help, but got no response, which leads me to believe there's something wrong with my phone. Or is this some secret issue no one wants to talk about? If I flash back to the stock ROM, wifi calling starts working again.

I found a guide to root snapdragon. Is it finally possible? I can't post links, but the guide was taken from reddit.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Greg1007:
Root has been possible on snapdragon-based SM-G97_0 for a few months now, but not the G97_U. What matters is the ability to unlock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
There's a guy working on unlocking the bootloader for the snapdragon S10+ (G975U) over in the S10+ forum, he is making a little progress on it too.

LOL, if it's the US 975U, no he's not. He won't do it until Samsung decides it's OK.... Maybe 3 or 4 years.

The guy who started the thread was soliciting help to get it to work, but that doesn't mean he succeeded. If you dig into the replies, the only known success in the U.S. is the Exynos version. The Sprint S10 5G version (SM-G977P) is the only exception and success for Snapdragon. Other U.S. models like SM-G977U are hopeless.

It seems the guy that wrote the article I posted decided to create an app for it to make it easier to get your bootloader unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Mad Medik:
I'm just surprised that there isn't lots of discussion about it. The S10 series was very popular. There would be a lot of interest. I'm a bit out of date on XDA; maybe they don't allow promotion of paid services?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
They may not, I don't know. Some one made it so TWRP recovery works with our phones, of course you need the bootloader unlocked to use it which costs money.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackyesp:
Hello androids, I have a big problem or a good challenge, depends on your optimism. I've been looking for and trying solutions for hours and hours, but I think I've come across a wall and I need your help:

Originally I wanted to root my s7 Edge / SM - G935F (OS Marshmallow 6.0.1) by following a tutorial using an autoroot ROM for this phone. I remember I had USB debugging and OEM unlock enabled. I also installed the USB / ADB drivers correctly.

I used Odin v3.11, since they recommended using it for this mobile and MM 6.0.1. According to Odin, the rom was installed successfully, but my phone entered a loop with the Samsung logo and "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". Something failed in the process and I decided to install a S7 Edge stock ROM in 8.0.0 from SAMMobile (this one) with Odin v3.13 using HOME_CSC so that I don't lose certain data

Unfortunately everything was going well until just at the end when "hidden.img" did not process correctly and resulted in FAIL. I've been since then stuck with this error:

"An Error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery in the Smart Switch PC Software."

It won't even turn off. From there I can only access the Download Mode and neither the Smart Switch or the ADB & Fastboot console won't detect the device. Odin does recognize the phone, but every time I try to install a rom, the log gets stuck in "SetupConnection ..".

I have tried a bunch of solutions such as removing the "hidden.img" from the package, reinstalling the drivers, changing the USB port, changing Odin's version, installing only the BL, etc., but nothing shows progress...

I'm sorry if during the process I managed to do some stupidity that I am not aware of. Other phones I have never had problems, but now I feel defeated and lost. I need a savior! :crying:

Any way to make Odin work, ADB detect my device or access a working bootload? Thanks in advance!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
Hi,

My Trinity's mini usb has packed up and I need to flash the original Orange rom (Which I have) from the sd card as the 'phone is under warrenty. I've formatted the card in fat32 and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh file to TRINIMG.nbh as per wikki, but I only get the bootloader screen, not the one shown on the wikki page.:confused:

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance to all the members of this fantastic forum!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] tnyynt:
Make sure your SD Card has no label!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know it hhas no label (Just called SD Card in explorer). How can I tell?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] rockuman_ex:
i've got the same problem.

SD card has no name (according to windows explorer), and is FAT32.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] tnyynt:
Card reader... or WM5toarge
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
Thanks tnyynt, I'm sorry but I've looked at the properties of the card using a card reader in vista and can see no referance to "Lables". I'd really apreciate it if you could spell it out for me.

Thanks so much
[P3600 Software Upgrading] tnyynt:
right click, properties and if it is an empty box at the top it's good.

I'd recommend to save all your files to your PC and format the card to FAT32 in your card reader, then copy the TRINIMG.nbh to your card's root.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
Thanks again! Done all that, still only boot screen! Info on boot screen:

----------------

Trin100

IPL-0.50

Trin100 MFG

SPL-1.30.Olipro

-----------------

Do I have to worry about this?

"For normal (non preproduction) devices keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing will not work. The CID for each ROM is listed on the Trinity Upgrades page. You can see your device's CID using info 2 bootloader command or using GetDeviceData.exe"

Sorry for all this, but phone is F***ed if I cannot gett this sorted
[P3600 Software Upgrading] tnyynt:
Maybe it is a problem with the HardSPL. I see you have 1.30, I've heard people reporting some issues. I am using Des' Crash Proof and all is ok!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
I suppose that there is no way of flashing this from sd card if I can't flash anything else. Got a bad feeling!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] eadon:
No resulution yet
[P3600 Software Upgrading] moodog101:
try this

copy Des Crash Proof Bootloader and TRINIMG.nbh to the SDCard.

On the phone use a file manager to get to the SDCard and run Des Crash Proof Bootloader.

The phone should restart and use Des instead of Olipro. The ROM should then update.

I've used the same process on my M700 without any problems.

Hope it helps
[P3600 Software Upgrading] evojulz:
Just on the off chance, do you happen to be flashing from a SDHC card? I can't get mine to read NBH files always have to carry my 2GB whenever I want to flash a ROM.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormCell:
I'm running PureNexus. It's been a few years since I've used this phone. How do I update to 8.0 and then to 9.0? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borxnx:
Dude, one post was enough. You've asked in 3 different places now about a phone that's 4 years old.

There are dozens of threads in the three different forum sections where you have repeatedly posted your question that answer it. Look around you

Here's the official Google Android factory image download page:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

Scroll all the way down to the 6P. The last link in the 6P section is the latest official firmware for the device, the December 2018 security patch for 8.1.0. Follow the instructions on that site to make sure you have ADB and fastboot installed correctly. Then extract the firmware zip to your ADB/fastboot directory and run the flash-all script.

To get 9.0, you will have to find a custom ROM. Since Google didn't release official Pie for the device, it's likely going to have some bugs or missing features. I haven't kept up with 6P development in a couple years so maybe they've worked out all the kinks, but your best bet for full functionality is going to be the 8.1.0 factory image I linked.

All of the instructions about how to do this can be found in many, many threads in these forums. You'll likely get more assistance in one of those threads than in one of the several you've made. Here's a good place to start:
