I can't install NikGapps full.

When I install NikGapps core the install goes fine. But when installing NikGapps basic, it loads me back into recovery. I tried in various ways to install at least NikGapps basic, and it worked. I had to install core, then boot the system and then install NikGapps basic, but I could not install NikGapps full this way. Any tips?

Many thanks for your works and your update.

I'm still stuck with this version (stayed on v6) maybe because of the kernel: do i need to change it ? Which one you consider the best for this version ? I tried Predator EAS and HMP without success (turned back every time on Orange Fox :'(

Edit

: my problem was about the data format which i supposed to be optional ...

But my question about your favorite kernel is still here ;-) Right now, i have Predator Stormbreaker-X4.3-NewCam

Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your computer and extract it using your favorite unzipping software.

Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory. You will find two files called “update-binary” and “updater-script”.

Step 3. Rename “updater-script” to “updater-script.txt” and open with your favorite text file editor.

Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually this is the first line or one of the first lines at the top of the text file. Just delete them.

Step 5. Save file.

Step 6. Rename “updater-script.txt” back to “updater-script”.

Step 7. Rezip all the files you’ve unzipped.

Step 8. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.

Step 9. Try re-installing ROM, now it should install fine without Status 7 error.

New customers get $200 off Pixel 4a (5G) when you buy and activate on Google Fi. Existing customers can upgrade and receive $150 off

PS Shameless plug - Google Fi referral V2R26J ($20 off 2nd month)
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] datrumole:
i just got mine from ATT for $180 with their monthly installments (not next plan, just a payment plan)

10/mo is the existing offer for 30/mo (300)

5/mo with a trade in (150)

+30 for an 'activation fee' (330/180)

heck of a deal if you have an older phone to trade in (or snag one up for 50 off reddit/swappa to save an extra 100 instead of 150)

plus if you factor in inflation, the 5/mo in 2y should be a smidge less than todays dollars (nitpick i know)
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] lmt1979:
Is the bootloader unlockable from AT&T? That makes all the difference to me. Can you even root the phone with the bootloader locked? On Fi it is and it's able to use multiple carriers, Google Fi is an MVNO. US Cellular, Sprint (bleh) and T-Mobile are usable and switchable for me on Fi.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] datrumole:
yeah, makes sense, based on the fact that i can delete the 2 att apps pre-installed makes me think they dont really have their talons in the pixel devices just yet
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] coolpoete:
I think if you can see the OEM unlock in the developer options you should be able to. I know that on Verizon devices for example that option was not there or greyed out.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] datrumole:
yup, greyed out, wifes pixel 4a direct from google is not. shucks

i suppose a price to pay for a$320 savings

in recent memory, i'm trying to think of the only reasons i need root these days and sdmaid and adaway are the only two items i could come up with. but i haven't used either of those utilities in a long time. so time will tell

the 4a 5g never truly excited me, i really wanted the 7t/8t, but i just couldnt deal with the lack of ATT support any further. so this was my 'damn i really need a new phone' phone from my oneplus 3t

if i get a solid 1.5-2y out of it, i'd be insanely happy for what i paid, even without root i suppose
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] coolpoete:
You can ask them if they have a locked bootloader policy. I know that on some carriers if you have the device for some time they allow you to sim-unlock but not sure about bootloader unlock. Or maybe in time someone will figure it out on here.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] datrumole:
it's def sim locked until paid off

bootloader lock != sim lock or at least that is my understanding

i'm sure someone will get the bootloader unlock at some point

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] CenFlo:
The only catch with the Google unlocked 4a 5G is they won't work on the mmWave / ultra wide band that VZW is deploying. Found that one out just recently... but it's not that big of a deal to me, at least not for the time being. I'd rather have the ability to control the software (ROM) that's on my phone, so I'll live without the 5G UWB until further notice.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
I got the google fi deal - don't mind trying them out for 60 days to get the 4a 5G for $300 and a $120 cash trade-in on my pixel 3a.

As far as what do I need root for? I use magisk root in order to run:

Advanced Charge Controller - stops the phone from charging when it reaches any level I set - currently 90% - so I can leave it plugged in whenever I'm around a charger and not overheat/overcharge the battery.

Vanced Manager - so that I can enjoy vanced youtube and vanced youtube music without ads.

Energized Protection with the "ultimate" package - to block just about all ads, especially in the swipe-left-from-home google now feed.

Call recording with skyvalex call recorder - but note that due to restrictions in android, only calls using the cellular phone network can be recorded, not wi-fi or VoIP calls. This is the only one here that is not free - although there is a free trial.

MagiskHide Props Config - to get google pay and my bank's app to work on a phone rooted with magisk.

Dune 2 is a version of the classic real-time strategy game for Android. The original game is arguably one of the most important and influential games in its genre.

This version of the game is an identical copy of the title from 1992. The controls have been changed so that you only need one finger instead of the keyboard and mouse. The controls are very intuitive and easy to use even on larger devices.

As one would expect from a game called 'Dune 2', the player chooses one of the three families to join. In strategic battles that take place in real time, you fight your enemies by building, planning, creating units and of course fighting.

Dune 2 is an absolute classic in gaming history. With this free Android version (thanks to the OpendDune engine) you can relive the game comfortably on the Android.

I take pretty good care of my phone. Its always carried in a case, never been dropped, and doesn't get abused. Lately though I have been noticing that the battery door is loose. Like really loose. Is this a common problem with these phones. Has anyone used any of the ebay doors. I don't want to buy it and then it be complete crap. Thanks in advance

Yea my battery cover falls off when im talking on the phone its so loose. I haven't looked into a replacement yet though.
[Wing, P4350 General] speoples20:
I had a similar problem the back would pop off when the phone was in my pocket. So I bought one of those covers that cover the back and the front. Doesn't make the phone that much bigger, it protects it better and more importantly the back doesn't come off anymore. You can buy them for like $10 on ebay or at those faceplate kiosks in the mall.

Hey, I know its been a couple of days, I just wanted to let you know that the process/ exploit did not work. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong.

I updated everything in ubuntu

I downloaded the zip

Extracted using WinRAR

Opened the file in Ubuntu

Ran the ./bootrom-setup.sh in ubuntu

Shorted the stick using a piece of conductive wire

Then waited for the terminal to do its thing, but nothing happened.

Please let me know if I did anything wrong or anything that can help my situation.

EDIT: Couldn't find lsusb btw that might have been the issue, not sure where to find that or run it

Juan
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Idk if you did something wrong, except the winrar thing.

Ubuntu is fine, but you need to run all commands from the unlock/unbrick OP up to the disable modemmanager thing.

Download and unzip the amonet.zip (to the desktop) with ubuntu (don't use windows for this, all file permissions get lost).

Browse in the extracted folder and open a terminal in there.

Then run this

sudo su
./bootrom-step.sh

Now you need to short the CLK resistor to ground.

Don't use sharp steel tools, best is a fine soft flexible copper wire...

Keep the short (steady and proper, until the script tells you to remove the short), then connect the usb cable...

It should take up to 10 seconds to find the stick and do the handshake.

If nothing happens within 15 seconds, the short wasn't that proper, in this case unplug the stick and retry again.

But it's possible too, that you've got one of the newer patched sticks!?

How old is your stick?

You can take a look into lsusb,

the first boot stage is the bootrom, it prints something about 'phone' (this should pop up in lsusb while shorted),

next stage is the preloader (if you see this, the short wasn't steady/proper).

Good luck^^

Edit: PS, to run lsusb command, you need to open a second terminal window...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Miguel Ruiz Leyva:
Hi, I have the same problem, I had to create a program to be able to send sms on standalone, but i keep working to receive it , but actually I am learning how to add the TAPI libraries to tizen Developer so i can create this program , but this it will be my second program on tizen Platform and i am lost by now... anyway i think its clear its a bug on message service program on the watch. Anybody could guide me how to develop a program to use the tapi library on tizen developer or another way to create the package?

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Alfiedog:
I think you have the Usa variant as you are on sprint

here with the F variant in Europe the providers set up the watch to communicate with the linked phone via data ....

to make it work stand alone i pretty much had to load the earliest firmware i coulc find ... boot unlinked to a phone in stand alone mods...after a full reset ....then load an esim from a different provider...and then i got a watch that ran stand alone calls and texts....

but i pretty much had to break the thing to do it

the reason the providers do this is not because the watch cant do stand alone but because they want you to buy a samsung phone on a contract ...and a watch on a data contract ....and not just a watch on stand alone with a pay as you go esim....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Miguel Ruiz Leyva:
Hi, sorry my mistake I have a F variant version, bought in Samsung website , reseting the watch i can choose between full standalone mode or connecting with phone, with the first option i can use voice call and text messages with no problem, but i dont have whatsapp Samsung pay, Health... with the second option i have whatsapp, pay, Health, everything except text messages. And its a problem for me ,dont have any sense and its a samsung huge bug i think, programming i actually trying to figure out how to connecting with dbus, I dont find the right library... keep working...
