My last 2 cents here ( I no longer participate this thread :) ):

The su ( read: switchuser ) command is used to run an Android system function as a different user. It is the easiest way to switch or change to the administrative account ( read: superuser ) in the current logged in session.

Most versions of Android disable the superuser ( mostly mistakenly called root user - take note that root user in Android is the user with ID 0 who is by default present on all Android versions, is the user of session when Android gets started ) account by default making the system more secure. But, this also restricts the Android user from running specific system related commands.

Using su to temporarily act as a superuser allows you to bypass this restriction and perform system related tasks with different users.

The synthax of su command is

su [options] [username [[arguments]]

If a username isn't specified, su defaults to the superuser. Now, the logged-in user can run all system commands. This will also change the home directory and path to executable files.

If the su is used to temporarily act the logged-in user as superuser then the su binary can be located anywhere in Android's filesystem, e.g. /data/local/tmp, /storage/emulated/0, etc.pp, it must not be located in Android's system partition.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
yes, that's maybe better. teach yourself about android first. android is not linux

What special privileges "/system/xbin/su" does have w.r.t. root access?

This answer says: Because of the way directory/file permissions are configured on Android, you need to have the su binary on your /system partition in order for it to work. Putting elsewhere...

what is your current bootloader level? combination ROM is available (haven't checked these download links)

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, I get where they were coming from but.....

Nah. It just doesn't work that way for everybody. Like all things android, it really just depends on what device you have and how crappy its hardware/software and security is. Lower end/cheap and old stuff doesn't have as much time invested in making them secure to save on development and distribution costs.

Unfortunately, Samsung just isn't one of those brands that are easily rooted these days, unless you buy specific models with specific firmware/binary combinations.

How do you make it executable? I tried but it just says permission denied. id -u: 2000 (shell)

I have a Blackjack II arriving in a few days and I'm wondering... I know the BJ2 has built in GPS (sans touch screen - but beggars can't be choosers) but I have heard that the built in GPS Nav software costs after the 30 day trial period. Is there any 3rd party GPS software that will work with this phone and have USA maps?

[OnePlus 9] warglock:
Hello all,

I ****ed up, what I feel is big time?

I accidentally fat fingered the "install and restart" button for an OTA update for OOS12 on my rooted stock OOS11. From what I learned during my research phase of rooting my OP9, that's a big no no and can cause a lot of problems. When the phone booted back up I have no touch input at all. I have a mouse plugged into my phone and can use the phone that way and I am currently backing up as much as I can in the event I have to wipe my phone.

My question is, can I just dirty flash the previous OOS11 image I was running to go back to before the OOS12 OTA got applied? Just wanted to get the general consensus before I ruin my **** further.

I'm running stock recovery, stock OOS11.2.4.4 with Magisk, MagiskHide and not much else.

Much appreciated!
[OnePlus 9] wildestweasal:
To my what i know you have to downgrade from 12 to 11 ect. I managed to get to global.

I messed up, and updated mine to 12. and from what i learned. my touch screen did not work due to the fact my update was for a global 9 pro, Not my oneplus 9-tmobile version. In the end I had to use the india msm tool to get back to working
[OnePlus 9] jshinn1:
I would def recommend just MSM back to stock 11.2.4.4, I was in your same situation before and I always had the touchscreen issues if I was rooted when I upgraded to OOS12. I think I tried flashing back to 11 and just ended up soft bricking my device and having to MSM anyway. Also like the commenter said above I had to use the Indian MSM but Ive been able to use the Global MSM now with no issues so if thats what your're on Id recommend trying that one first and only using the Indian MSM if that one gives you errors.
[OnePlus 9] gorilla p:
So I'm running into this same problem and absolutely can not upgrade to OOS12. Each time, by display will not respond to touch. I went back to 11 via MSM (HAD TO USE OP9 Pro INDIA) because OP screwed something up with these phones.

I have tried multiple ways, went back to OOS 11, installed latest OOS 11 without root. Locked bootloader, Installed latest OOS 11 twice via system update to make sure everything was clean. Installed OOS 12 update and same problem.
[OnePlus 9] DerBaLu841:
Same problem here.....

I have installed the msm india and then the official android 11 for OP 9. After that the OP9 runs on Android 11. After that i have closed the bootloader and try the msm with the eu rom and i gets the "device not match image" error. Maybe i have the new rom for op9 installed and the productnumber is still on op9p ? Now i am going back to a custom rom. is there an option to get the fully working camera on a custom rom?
[OnePlus 9] gorilla p:
To get back to the correct ROM, boot to TWRP and flash the signed full zip to each slot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] logank:
Greetings all.

My Kjam G4 hangs on 2nd splash screen. After reading hundreds of posts over the last few days,

I am still not clear on my next step, without making phone any worse.

History.

Phone has HARD SPL.

ipl 2.21.0001

spl 2.21.olip

Used Molski wm6 rom last month or so. Flashed WizFlo 20273 v6.1.1.3 last week. Completed ok .But now hangs. Flashed wizard love and other roms via bootloader. completes ok. Still hangs on splash.

Hard rest results in "format is failed"

"r2sd all" completes ok. Pressing dial button does not start restore.

I have previous backup of different components using wst tool and also KJam official rom.

Questions:

1. With HARDSPL , is the phone CID unlocked ?

2. With the SD restore not working , does this imply phone still CID locked ?

3. Is there an official Kjam rom without ipl/spl ?

4. Hard reset is supposed to format "UA". Is it possible to flash a backup of UA (as made by wst )to the phone ?

Thanks in advance , and forgive me if I have not followed protocol this forum.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
1.With HardSPL, Nopes! phone is not actually permanently CID unlocked like G3 device,Its semi-permanent CID unlocked by flashing patched IPL/SPL,thus tricking the Bootloaders in thinking its CID unlocked,whereas,its not actually CID unlocked.A G4 device can not be permanently CID unlocked (SuperCID),its just made to trick.

2. As the phone has HardSPL,Sdcard backup through mtty r2sd all command is not possible,coz the Bootloaders are patched,not original official.To carry out sdcard method,you'll have to first remove HardSPL,flash back the original official Bootloaders(IPL/SPL),only then its possible to perform sdcard method.

3. Nopes! there's no k-jam official rom without IPL/SPL,what you can do is to extract k-jam rom and remove the Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),repack the rom and can flash it,but without official IPL/SPL.The only way to flash the official k-jam rom is to first remove HardSPL,reflash original official k-jam Bootloaders and then flash official stock rom.

4.UA back up made by WST is again only possible to flash after removal of HardSPL.

5. Wizard_love or any other official rom with IPL/SPL in it will not flash,unless HardSPL is removed,infact,it might 'Brick' the phone,so avoid flashing any rom with IPL/SPL in it.

Try to flash any custom build wm6 or wm6.1 in Bootloaders and remove,if any, Sdcard inserted in the phone before flashing a rom and remember to have a fully charged battery before flashing.

BTW, send a PM to 'mestrini' the inventer of this magical tool WST_4.2.2,may be he can advise you better on this problem of 'Format is Failed'
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] logank:

Hi,

If your device is a G4 try this:

1- Download Wizard Love ROM.

2- Download ROMUpdate Utility V2.5.2 .

3- Try to enter to bootloader mode. The bootloader can be entered by holding the "Camera" button while resetting.

4- Copy the Wizard Love ROM's nk.'nbf' file to the ROMUpdate Utility V2.5.2 .

5- Run the 'romupdateutility.exe' and then follow the instructions of the application.

From what I gather you will have to flash alternate partitions now using some linux engineering mode with python because flashing with ADB\Fastboot cannot now be enabled. The partition images must be the correct ones for the android version installed.

How does the extra processor affect the heat in the device when operating at max capacity?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AeroSatan:
So I've pre ordered my S22U ( amazing btw) and now I've received my $250 promotional credit as I didn't use it for accessories i didn't need. Figured I'd put it towards one of the Samsung TV's to replace my older one. No dice. During check out it says this promo can't be used for the items in the cart. Can the credit only be used for accessories?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I believe so. It sucks and the worst part is they limit the choices even within the accessories section.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Katmeat:
Darn, it would not work for a sound bar either. I do not need that lousy keyboard they offer for the S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Well that sucks! So do their accessories though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AeroSatan:
Man, those are some deceitful tactics. I'd wait until after the pre order window had i known as they've increased the trade in value by $150 while removing what's turning out to be a useless Samsung store credit after that window. What am I supposed to do with this useless credit now? Ffs
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mzsquared:
I think I have good news about it for you: try search for the desired item in a search box(google for example) and from the different sellers sites pick Samsung and open their page to view that item, sign in to your account and proceed to the cart with that item, the cart will show your available points plus you can apply your promo code in the box and buy that item(s) at final, discounted price.

It has worked for me last night when I tried to spend my $50(reservation$$) plus I had $8 reward points but on the Samsung product pages they had only a meaningless remnants-crap items I wasn't interested in buying. I didn't care that the 15W wireless charger + 25W brick and cable was "out of stock" I got the items with April 7th delivery date - but of course, today Samsung already sent me a 'corrected' date: April 14th. That's ok, at least I've got what I want and need - not what they want me to spend my $$ on.

I hope it will work for you on TV.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AeroSatan:
Damn, I wish I didn't use the promo for the bunch of accessories I didn't really need. I guess the wireless car charger will be OK along with the smart tag plus. But I have no idea what I'll do with the buds pro. Already have a bunch of better sounding BT headphones. Spoke with their customer service and they told me the code is only for the watches keyboards and phone accessories. Even a Samsung external SSD wasn't able to be discounted. Hope this works for others should they see it before they pull the trigger.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mzsquared:
That charger I bought was nowhere to find in their promo offers, but I figured out that it has to be advertised elsewhere, they are in the sales business after all, Samsung webpages is a mess so I'm glad I'm done w/ them now for at least one year if they put something interesting on the market next "flagship" season of 2023 :-)) The time spent on "chatting" w/their cs always makes me contemplating about quitting Samsung forever yet, I come back again.

[General Topics] lsainsbury:
OK - so - simple question!

You know all these companies that can offer any phone on any network with any tariff - how the heck do they do it?

For instance - I'm with Orange UK - I'm out of contract and I'm after an upgrade to a Touch HD.

Now - Orange have not released it yet - but might do in the next few days, but online companies can give it to me on any network / tariff of my choice - virtually!

Like this one from mobiles.co.uk (I'm not endorsing them by the way - never used them - yet...)

O2: 400mins / 500 txts £30pm / but pay £39 for the phone.

It does say it's a proper HTC model (I mean unbranded with no dodgy carrier firmware)...

So - how can they do this? How can they get prices down?

And can I port my number to one of these deals?

Cheers

Lee
[General Topics] crankshaft:
That site you mentioned is actually owned by carphone warehouse. I'm also looking at the Touch HD as it seems to be the only place I can find that will allow you to pre-order.

It's a little odd though, I was under the impression Orange had the HD as an exclusive but they'll sell you one on o2. I certainly want an unbranded one, I hate the Orange logo on my Trinity!

And yes, you can port your number across as long as your going to a different network. If not you have to port it onto a payasyougo sim then back again blah blah!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] bilbo60:
S22+ on Verizon (Locked). I’ve had the phone since launch with no major issues. I received the March update on Friday the 18th. Since then, I have lost my network at least once every day. I get the message “Your phone’s not registered on a network so you can only make emergency calls.” Restarting or toggling Airplane mode on and off will correct it temporarily. I’ve gone into Settings>General Management>Reset, and reset the network settings, but that hasn’t corrected the problem. Anyone else with this issue? What else can I try?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Fytdyh:
Have you tried a factory reset? That's usually recommended after each update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] bilbo60:
The only time I do that is after an Android version update. The phone is only a month old, and this is the first update. I will if nothing else works.

So every month when you get a security update you do a factory reset and set up your phone again, reinstalling your apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] SirSeanM10Pro:
never heard of that issue, normally you wouldn't factory reset after a security update. maybe try clearing cache in recovery mode?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Maskman_101:
Just a regular restart is enough after an update why do we have to factory reset each time??
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Fytdyh:
If I find my device behaving in a weird way after any type of update, I usually just factory reset said device. Now, for starters, I do have a micro sd, on which I store all my data. So, instead of wasting time trying to find out the culprit app/update, I hit factory reset. Cleans up everything I don't need, frees more space and the time required to reinstall all my apps is just around 5 minutes. For example, I had this phone for 2 years and had 10 factory resets so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] TheNewGuy92:
have you contacted your carrier yet? if your phone keeps showing 'not registered' error message then it's likely that SIM should be replaced or the carrier side made some sort of error from their end and keeps dropping your phone from being recognized as registered.

I've seen one case that the phone was not listed as US device during an update and pretty much de-registered some people's phones. Random stupid things do happen :P
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] bilbo60:
I think I might have fixed it by deleting system cache. Also did a forced restart. It is an intermittent problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Maskman_101:
For me, just a restart is enough to make my phone better to use and I do it weekly once!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Fytdyh:
So you actually keep the phone 24/24 powered on? I turn off mine every night.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] bilbo60:
I leave my phone on always. Usually restart once a week.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] bilbo60:
Issue returned. It is just so random. I cleaned and reseated the SIM card. If I get time I will visit the Verizon store tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] TheNewGuy92:
I would think it's something software issue that samsung engineers need to look into.

If you haven't already, submit error report after seeing the issue again.
