[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
I have an Exynos device not US Snapdragon so the rooting techniques are different.

Is rooting safe is open for debate. The actual method to root can cause issues if done incorrecting. Also there are a lot of games that may detect if your device in rooted and may not work.

In regards to games maybe try other things from developer options to games optimisations from playstore.

Since I don't play games on my phone I can't advise whether or not rooting is a solution for you. Maybe some else can advise on possible solutions.

For information only have a look at the S8 Rom section. There are various methods on there. In particular look at jrkruse threads which has a method for your V6 firmware.

You can not root on pie. The method I believe in the threads gives you a rooted nougat from your versions ( pie ) 6 firmware. There seems to be a few drawbacks in useing this method.

From a gaming point of view I would suggest trying an alterative method to get what you want.

Less epileptic version of the default boot anim. Root required, move bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ after backing up the original.

Full animation (+lower volume)

Loop only (no sound)

Bonus - Essential PH1 loop

I have this unit is installed in a 2016 Tundra, does anyone have this unit rooted or how can I safely root it. Is there any customs firmwares for it? I have few issues with the Mph gauge, it is showing the right number but when you see the gauge it self is pointing as per kilometers even that I have the setting in mph. I also would like to make few other changes mostly the way it looks for example every time there is a open door it shows a sedan car instead of a pickup truck.

I have a PX6.zip (last upgrade firmware) that I couldn't attached, if anyone if willing to help me I could send the firmware update by a shared link.

I had a problem restoring a backup I created on UDK WM6.1 to L26 WM6.1. It would crash when I tried to do the restore.

I've found that if I use the latest SPB Backup 2.0 I can now do the restore.

I load it up

choose 'restore backup'

choose your backup .exe file

customise the restore

go to 'options'

untick 'stop processes' and 'create log files'

This may help when creating backups. I think the 'stop processes' bit is the key. I think SPB backup is trying to stop some system processes and can't so hangs.

Hope this helps.

Oh, so I'm not the only one...

I already signalled this in Leo's V6 thread (I believe, the guy is spewing new ROMs faster than I can press F5...); my SPB Bkp 1.6.3 PL (don't remember the exact build #) hangs right after pressing the button. I was told that unchecking "close all processes" should do the trick as the program apparently tries to close itself... Duh. If it does that, it's dumber than a box of hammers.

However, I could not be arsed because I have tried Resco Backup 1.20 since and found that it worked great. Very fast, too. WAY faster than SPB 1.6.

Resco may not be as sexy as the new SPB 2.0, but hey, it's a backup program for crying out loud, it can have a text console for all I care :D Besides, it's really quite nice and easy on the eyes.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] morphius88:
Hi Guys,

So I have a very peculiar issue regarding calling my wife. I am using the One Plus 7 Pro on Verizon. She is using Essential Ph-1 on same plan as me.

When I call her, she can hear me just fine, but I can't hear her at all. Cant hear her through phone, speaker or even Bluetooth device like my headphones.

When she calls me, we can hear each other perfectly. When I call anyone else, we hear each other fine. When anyone else calls her, they hear each other fine.

It appears to be specifically only when I call her. Anyone ever come across such an issue? I tried searching everything I could think off and got nothing.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thanks

I have just gotten a Z4 to replace my well traveled Moto X, and was happy to see that I could use this procedure to get WiFi calling. Thanks to [MENTION=1201871]clevertrevor777[/MENTION] for the time and effort.

I did run into a couple of problems. For some reason, using the firmware from the zip file gave me a "no valid operating system". However, I was able to use the latest Verizon firmware from lolinet, patch the boot image with Magisk, and have a working, rooted device. It seems that it won't let me set an unlock PIN, password, or pattern, however.

Has anyone else run into this problem with being unable to set a PIN lock after flashing the Verizon firmware, or the patched boot image?

I've read elsewhere that Magisk can sometimes cause problems with PIN lock, so I was going to try running without root and see if I can get it to work.

Other than that, everything else seems to work. It took a while to get WiFi calling working, but that was a firewall issue (over aggressive IPS on PFSense interfering with the IPSec traffic) and not a problem with the phone.
[Moto Z4 Guides, News, & Discussion] slab_bulkhead:
I'm not sure what fixed the problem I was having with setting a lock screen, but I was finally able to fix it by starting over from square one. I did a couple things differently so I'm not sure what exactly solved it, but it was either waiting to set the screen lock and not doing it during the initial setup process, or making sure it was set prior to patching the bootloader and flashing the patched loader.

Are you using Lenova assistant or the Verizon once installed onto your computer from your device? I'm using Verizon and maybe it's different for each user. Look through the folders for any changes when it's starts the download.
[Moto Z4 Guides, News, & Discussion] clevertrevor777:
Worked for me! Found the MSU folder and followed the instructions from that link! I'm using the VZW tool installed from my phone. Just plug your phone into your Windows PC (Windows 10 for me), then on your phone choose Software Installation for the USB connection type. There should now be a Windows installer on a new drive on your PC. Install the Software Upgrade Assistant from there. I waited until after 100% download on the update process, then copied the gz file to another folder and uncompressed it with WinRAR. Easy peezy lemon squeezy!

Maybe. There would be two big question marks.

1.) Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on the Amazon variant to install the initial VZ ROM image?

2.) Would the VZ software update utility accept that model for upgrades?

It all seems to work for my unlocked version, even though the update utility knows it's XT1980-3 and not -4.

You should be able to by using Magisk to patch the boot.img file for whatever ROM you want to use, and then flashing the patched boot.img file in fastboot.

I Believe there's a Verizon version of this tool as well.

LMSA, should get you back to stock.
[Moto Z4 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhfosu:
Yeah, I got it back up and running with the RETUS firmware (QPF30 130-15-7). Of course, it won't let me re-lock the bootloader without bricking again (apparently you need "motorola signature firmware" to re-lock) so I can't update to 130-15-11. That said, the RETUS firmware DID let me enable VoLTE, so that is an improvement.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

I didn't know about LMSA. Thanks! I had been using verizon's garbage software upgrade assistant, but that didn't work great. Ended up doing manual fastboot flashes.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

I gave recovery with LMSA a shot. It would not recognize my device in fastboot mode, in either a locked or unlocked state. I think it is looking for the motorola signature firmware as well.

I have the same issue

I'm in the same boat as rhfosu. I'm wondering if I can load a stock verizon version of the firmware that is designed for the xt1980-4? I'm not opposed to that, not completely, anyway.

Or, is there any way to downgrade to 9 and then run through the steps again to unlock the bootloader, flash the modified firmware, and root the phone? I'm just good enough at this to be dangerous...

I predict that the T-Mobile/Sprint note 10 5g will support both sprint’s mid band and T-Mobile’s low band. I also predict that At&T’s s10 5g will support their mmwave and low band 5g while their Note 10 5g WILL support both their mmwave and low band.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] d.cortez:
if you're installing another ROM, you'll do best by reinstalling all your programs. this will ensure that the programs work with the newly installed ROM. i use MS Outlook to backup contacts... backing up email settings depends on what you use for email; if you're using a POP3 account, i suggest you reenter them.... in my opinion, using backup software to reinstall your programs, settings, etc., is risky and may cause unexpected issues. good luck!

Not dumb, there are always questions when you install new software.
