Hi all

My missus dropped her old s7+ edge years ago now and while the screen isnt cracked or anything whatever she did it just caught it at the wrong angle or something. The screen kinda works but its all messed up with very faint boot logos and stuff - I cant really see the android recovery comming up so cant select wipe/factory reset for example

Anyway its never been able to boot since. I was going to throw it out as not worth repairing. But Ive just connected to windows and the device is showing up in Device Manager

Just wondering if there was some kind of windows app to wipe the phone or something

Or am I best putting a hammer to it?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If USB debugging wasn't enabled in the device's system settings and if you can't unlock the lock screen, you won't be able to use a PC to wipe the device.

If you can find a screenshot of what the stock recovery screen looks like on your specific model number of S7+ edge, you can use the screenshot to see the order of the options in your stock recovery and count how far down the list the factory reset option is. Boot into your stock recovery, you may not see it but it is probably still booting into it, then you can use the volume up/down button to go up or down the list. If factory reset is the second option, in your screenshot, press volume down once to select it then press the power button to initiate the wipe, if factory reset is the 3rd option, press volume down twice then press power, if it is 4th on the list, press volume down three times then press power, and so on. If you find the correct screenshot to guide you and if you use the buttons to correctly select the factory reset option this should wipe your device whether you can see what is going on or not.

Or

If you can boot into download mode, you can flash the newest version of your stock firmware for your specific model number of S7+ Edge, there should be two CSC files in your firmware, when you flash the firmware files, use the CSC file that does not have Home in its name, it will wipe the device when you flash it, if you use the Home CSC, it will not wipe the device.

i know this is a useless, you might say, request..

but can anybody make a way to write text without having the first letter of a sentence Capitalize??

i'm just used to having my sms with lower case..

i'm using htc touch diamond...

thanks..
[General Questions and Answers] egoist6:
no, it is not useless. i was thinking about the same to ask people around here.

the real problem is that settings -> input -> options -> uncheck "capitalize first letter of sentence" has no effect (at least for sms and email). for notes unchecking the option works fine (after softreset)
[General Questions and Answers] jlccarv:
yes, its soo irritating lol. would love to solve this problem. it seems confined to the sms and email input. all my other apps dont do it...
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
some SIPs have the option to uncapitalize the first letters of sentences. i believe you can do it using TouchPal... (go to cootek.com to download)... and maybe some others have it too.. not sure which ones..
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
yip that one quite easy. On your keyboard, click the arrow and goto options. then goto the options tab and clear the box that says "capitalize first letter of sentence". Then all should be well:D

Hello,

I'm developing an app using the back camera. It works on many different devices and Android versions but on a Pixel 5 it seems to fail.

I get these errors:

Those errors don't come from my own code but from the internal camera2 library. For some reason, `onDisconnect`, the library tries to call `cancelRequest` but it seems that the phone doesn't implement that function.

How could I go about it?

Is there any way to change the version of camera2 used?

Hello.

Since I upgraded to android 12 (C44) I cant recieve SMS in the car. I dont get the question (or have the option in bluetooth settings to turn on permission for message access)

Does anyone have the same issue? Is there any solution. Have tried repairing but havfe the same problem . Tried 2 different cars (different brand) the same problem.

In one of my car I can press a button to request message access. but I dont get the question on the phone.
[Magisk] KaoDome:
I just realized there was a new public Magisk release yesterday, v24, and reading through the changes I see there are two that kind of impact me: MagiskHide and the central module repository removals.

So far I had been using MagiskHide because of its ease of use, list apps, tick box, and that's it (I haven't encountered apps that detected Magisk or root status, although I know it's insufficient for some). For modules, for example, the one that moves user certs to the system store, I just searched directly from the Magisk app and it was all good as well.

But things change from now on with those things being deprecated and removed and because there isn't much to go about in the release notes I was wondering if someone could direct me to the way of doing things now.

- What's the most apt, prevalent, or recommended replacement for MagiskHide? From the release notes I gather its a module, but I'm clueless as to which one or whether there are more than one option.

- If searching for mods and directly installing them is not available through the app, is there anything like it? Or is it all manual now? I.e. look for a module around the net, download it, copy it / decompress it somewhere in the device and install it.

Thanks for everything!

Here. First 5 post and you should know all you need :)
[Magisk] Quantumrabbit:
So, I read through that thread. It certainly solved a few issues for me. Like getting safety net, getting a repository, etc.

But it didn't have anything I see to replace magisk hide, even in the Fox Magisk Module Manager.

Do I just need to know other terminology now? Or is there something else I'm missing?
[Magisk] Porpet:
I don't get it, Magisk Hide is good for passing SafetyNet and you said you got it. Anyway, for SafetyNet you can use the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.

If you meant the hide list, there's now the Deny list. To quote:
[Magisk] Quantumrabbit:
Yes, it's for some banking apps, Concur, and others, none of which have any business checking for root, but all check for Magisk and such in other ways, and prevent usage.

If the deny list is how to do that now, I'll give that a go. Thank you
[Magisk] fusk:
And where did you find the deny list?
[Magisk] toolhas4degrees:
Settings enforce deny list. You need to enable zygisk and reboot prior also in settings.

Also there is an add on module shamiko that has more hide features after you configure denylist
[Magisk] Spartacus500:
H

How to add modules shamiko & how to more hide features 🤔
[Magisk] toolhas4degrees:
Shamiko is a flashable only need to slash magisk module. You can find it in the magisk alpha thread on telegram. You need to configure denylist first and reboot then turn off the enforce denylist toggle and flash the shamiko module.

If you are using lsposed download hide my applist xposed module and search how to use it if you want more coverage

[Magisk] Drakinite:
I'm having a lot of trouble. Duo Mobile (a 2FA app) is still able to detect that I'm rooted. Here's what I've done:

1) Installed Magisk & Manager app version 24.1 (24100)

2) Enabled Zygisk (and rebooted of course)

3) Enabled Enforce DenyList

4) Added com.duosecurity.duomobile and ALL Google Play Services submodules to the DenyList

5) Installed Universal SafetyNet Fix v2.2.1 from https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.2.1

6) Hidden the Magisk app

7) Completely uninstalled & reinstalled Duo Mobile (and verified that it's still on the DenyList

This is incredibly annoying, is there anything I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to verify that the SafetyNet Fix is working as expected? Magisk doesn't have a "Check SafetyNet" option on the app anymore.
[Magisk] danbest82:
This is quite weird and definitely shows how different devices handle root detection. I a Samsung S10+ and just installed Magisk 24 with enforce DenyList earlier this week. Today I just installed Duo Mobile and it works fine. I do not have it in the DenyList, and Magisk is not hidden. I use a custom SafetyNet fix that was installed when I originally installed an AIO TWRP/Magisk/SafetyNet fix after unlocking my bootloader. I also fail SafetyNet checks.

Have you tried Shamiko? It didn't help me pass SafetyNet so I removed it.

Unfortunately I don't have any other fixes for you but you can check SafetyNet with apps from the play store, I use YASNAC and SafetyNet 'attest'.

What phone are you using?
[Magisk] anonymous-bot:
There are SafetyNet checker apps you can download from the Play Store or F-Droid such as YASNAC.
[Magisk] Drakinite:
I'm using a Oneplus 6. At your suggestion, I tried Shamiko, but so far it hasn't worked.

I tried Momo from the Magisk alpha telegram channel, and it's been helpful so far, but it's detecting Magisk/TWRP files and I don't know where they are located. Is there a way to find where these files it's detecting are? This might be what Duo is detecting.

When I run YASNAC, it passes the SafetyNet check.
[Magisk] simplydat:
Get VD Infos and use it to scan your files. You can find it on XDA.
[Magisk] danbest82:
Hmm ok. Like I said shimako didn't work for me either. I'm not sure why Duo is still detecting root. For reference this is what is on my DenyList:

View attachment 5529081

YASNAC is the replacement for Momo it looks like since Momo is Riru based (https://github.com/canyie/Riru-MomoHider)
[Magisk] Drakinite:
Ok so this one is more helpful, but I'm not sure how to hide these that appeared. Any idea what ro.kernel.qemu.gles is? I looked through my list of installed apps and nothing like that showed up.

Should we switch to private messages to not spam the thread? Or perhaps staying in here can be helpful for those with the same problem?
[Magisk] Drakinite:
OMG WAIT, it finally worked! I don't know what changed, but Duo is now no longer detecting root. Gotta love when things magically start working when you don't know what changed.
[Magisk] danbest82:
Awesome. Hope it stays that way!
[Magisk] antivirtel:
Hi,

I've switched to the new method with the DenyList & Shamiko (v0.5.0) on OnePlus 6 recently - Magisk (v24.3), however it doesn't seem to hide root from Google Pay. Can it still be a bug with Magisk, when it can't hide system apps? In the changelog of Shamiko it mentioned that it was fixed in Magisk "24102+", I'm not sure what version is this, but I imagine it's not released yet. If so, is there a way of installing this version early?

Thank you!
[Magisk] anonymous-bot:
Version 24102 would be v24.102. So your Magisk 24.300 is newer.
[Magisk] antivirtel:
Oh I see, that's bad. Is there something else I need to do to make Google Pay work? I literally added everything matching Google to the deny list (the enforcement is off)... but it still doesn't let me use NFC payments. Before the upgrade, it worked just fine for years with MagiskHide...

Great, thank you very much, it doesn't say anymore that it can't be used, so hopefully it's fixed. I'll try during my next card payment...

Also, it looks like the built in SafetyNet check is removed, looks like it passes with a check app from GPlay. Thank you!
[Magisk] antivirtel:
Ah spoke too soon, it shows the error again in Google Pay now, however SafetyNet check still passes. Is the anything else I need to do with the 2 modules I've installed or what else I need to do?

Hi, I've read it somewhere to clear Google Pay's data, then it looks like it works for days now. Thanks!
[Magisk] bobbarker2:
Clearing data for Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Pay is usually needed.

I'm on Pixel 6 stock May update.. only modules installed are MagiskHide and USNF. I pass Safetynet, Play Store shows device is Certified but if I try and make a purchase I get a "Transaction was declined" error for IAPs. I can add multiple CC's to my GPay but if I try and actually pay for something with NFC in person it just doesn't work. I've even tried adding Shamiko and Momo only comes up with "something suspicious found" that the bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging is enabled. I've tried disabling usb debugging too, to no avail :(

So basically everything says "you're good to go" but when it comes time to actually pay for something it's a no go.
[Magisk] pritchfest:
Is there a more up-to-date way of hiding root from banking apps (or is the process here still the same)? I haven't had time to work on my phone in the last 8 months so I'm jumping into this now. Thanks in advance.
[Magisk] anonymous-bot:
The links I posted earlier should still be valid. It works for Google Pay at least. YMMV with other apps.
[Magisk] awdrifter:
Did you ever get it to work? If so, which tutorial or guide did you use? Thanks.
[Magisk] Quantumrabbit:
I did, long ago. But as of the latest OnePlus update to June security patch we just got, we are failing checks again.

It's getting harder but you now need Magisk with Zygisk enabled, LSPosed, Shamiko, and some luck. Results with Universal Safety Net Fix are varied.
[Magisk] RelaxDA:
I use all of the mentioned and still momo checker is detecting all sorts of stuff even though I pass SafetyNet, and therefore my banking app is not working.

Is there a proper way to fix this or is it just impossible to use banking apps now with root?

I even uninstalled magisk (the option where modules are kept) and the app still refused to work, so I'm not sure what's it checking and detecting
[Magisk] Quantumrabbit:
So, it's not easy anymore. There's a lot that's been going on, including Safety Net not really mattering anymore, Play Integrity is the new game in town.

Check out the Magisk section of the forums. Play Integrity Fix is what I'm currently using, because Universal Safety Net Fix fix is dead.

People try all kinds of stuff depending on their bank. Magisk, Magisk Canary, Alpha, Delta, putting apps in Isolation...

It's becoming an unbearable pain to stay rooted, and I have no idea why all these apps give a ****.
[Magisk] awdrifter:
Thanks. I'm still on Android 10, so it should be no problem for me.

plz help me if u can.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sonyuk143:
I am not an experienced person, but I try to answer you.

you need a file called CAB. Download the CAB file for a particular program.

Never unzip it. The CAB file itself acts as a exe file.

1) Sync your diamond to the PC with active sync.

2) copy the cab file to your diamond

3) double click on the cab file.

4) Install either on your ROM or internal memory

Good luck!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dickenz:
Copy them to your \Windows folder with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lexster:
so why use total commander and not just drag the manila into window\, pls. fill me out with more details. Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kosherpig:
Because ActiveSync/File Explorer can't copy files with System attribute and Total Commander can. Apart from that, it is a way better file manager than the system one. And unlike the desktop version, it is free.
