Hello.

If an android device is rooted, can you flash it with the "fastboot flash" command of the adb?
If not, why?
If yes, then what are all the "odin" thing for?

Thank you.

Unrooting Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy Victory LTE

Hi, first time posting, but I've lurked for a while. :)

First of all, I apologize if I am in the wrong forum which I probably am.

Also, please be patient with me as I just got out of the hospital and all of my rooting knowledge -- what little I had -- is lost somewhere in my brain. I am still recovering so I am not at 100%. :confused:

Anyway, I have a Samsung Galaxy Victory LTE 4G with Virgin Mobile. A year or so ago I was able to root this this. I have no idea how I did it but I did.

Anyway, it only has Android 4.1.2 on it when I rooted it. I'd like to unroot it and hopefully get an OTA update. But I've had some trouble. I read online that I could just unroot by going to the settings of SuperSU and checking the unroot option, which I did. But I may have messed around with it and disabled update settings as it doesn't do anything with I attempt to click update in the settings of my phone. I think I disabled "update" services a while back, for some reason.

Apps say my phone is not rooted but I imagine some of the adjusting I did is still in the phone and so it's in a weird root/unroot limbo state or something. Again, sorry, I wish I could remember all of this.

So I've been reading up on how to unroot it but I cannot find the custom firmware to this thing online. I think I had it at one time on my PC but I've had to reformat and lost everything. Samsung's site pulled it. It's a model SPH-L300. I was thinking I need to root it again, and then try to properly unroot it? But not sure.

Anyway, I try to boot into download mode (pwr + vol down) and it goes into Odin mode but is stuck at the message "downloading -- do not power down". I can pull the battery and get it to power up as normally.

Just today I downloaded Odin, SuperSU and a newer TWRP tar file. But I don't think that will allow me to do what I want, which is essentially unroot to get an OTA update or worse case start over with a fresh install of the original firmware, which I cannot find online.

If this is confusing, sorry. I guess I am just asking for advice on what to do and how I should do it. Thanks., and sorry for the long rambling post.

Mounting boot partition

I have a Moto X 2013(ghost) and want to mount my boot partition out of curiosity. Either on my phone or my PC. I pulled an image of the partition with dd but I can't seem to determine the type of filesystem in the partition. The file command just labels it as data. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not that partition has a filesystem at all? I'd imagine it would have to then again it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.

[Q] mods on touchwizhome apk (to do with wallpaperchooser)

September 15, 2015, 12:27 pm

Heya all.

I have two questions regarding a touchwizhome apk i am using (added for reference)
- One about removing a useless button from the menu
- And one about combining it with wallpaperchooser (also added for reference)


The issue about the button is that when pressing the menu button while in the app drawer, it shows an option to launch the "galaxy essentials" app (as shown in the screenshot added).
I have disabled this app and pressing it now says "app not installed" instead. So I just want the button to go, but i can't find any xml's i can edit for this and I don't know where to look for it in the smali files.

There is one folder called menu with options_menu.xml that has the line for this menu item in it tho.
I have tried adding the tags "android:visibility="gone" android:visible="false" and android:showAsAction="never" but none of those make it disappear and removing the line entirely just breaks the menu

So any help on this would be really appreciated!




The other problem I am having is that this touchwiz launcher was designed to work with the S5 wallpaperchooser, but I am using it on a note 2 (kitkat 4.4.2) which has a different wallpaperchooser.

When I install the S5 wallpaper apk the launcher works and lets me select wallpapers, but when I try using my original wallpaper apk the launcher doesn't recognize it and just says "app not installed"
Both wallpaperchoosers can be opened via phone settings tho, except that if I try to open the S5 wallpaper via phone settings, it force closes when I try changing the lockscreen wallpaper.

Both wallpaperchoosers have the same package name (com.sec.android.app.wallpaperchooser) but only the S5 one (Called wallpaperpicker) responds to the launcher. I have decompiled and compared both, but I don't know where to look or what to change to make my original wallpaperchooser respond to the launcher in the same way.

So any help on this one would also be really appreciated :D


Thanks in advance

Phone keeps vibrating until notification is cleared

Hi,

I know this question has been asked before regarding HTC phones, but the given solution doesn't apply to my newly bought Wiko Wax.
There's no option for notifications or whatsoever in the Accessibility tab, the only solution is to disable vibration completely.
The phone runs on stockrom, Kitkat 4.4.2 after the latest update. I have wiped caches to be sure so this is not the cause.
I hope this can be fixed by applying a tweak in the phones system software, but otherwise a third party app would be fine too.
Gravitybox has an option for insistent notifications, but i need the exact opposite...
Maybe there's an xposed framework module that can do the trick, but i can't find any.
Any help is welcome, thanks for your time!

[Q] Logs from booting a custom kernel?

Hi, is there a way how to get logs from not booting custom kernel? Eg. why is the kernel not booting? I've compiled kernel 3.4.0 for my CAT B15 (MT6577) phone based on instruction from yevgeniy-logachev/CATB15Kernel on github.com, but it stays in boot loop. The fastboot command is not working with my phone, it keeps waiting for the device. I tried passing --cmdline "console=tty0" but I'm just getting the logo from logo.bin. Original kernel is working fine even with my modified initrd. So just my kernel is problematic. How to see the kernel loading logs? Thanks.

lenovo s650 charging issue - hardware problem

Hi,
I have new lenovo s650, I ordered it recently, the problem is the device cannot be charged. I could use it until the factory charging held (eg. 40% battery) after then I tried different chargers but no use - so no charger issue.
I tried the battery in another s650, its working...... so not battery issue. And the phone worked with a fully charged battery only no charging as well.
Im asking that replacing lower PCB which has the USB connector could help in this case? or repalcing the whole motherboard could help only? Where is the battery controller located?

Thanks in advance,
Marton

Please help - HTC One rooted... but not rooted!

I attempted to root my HTC One M7 and thought I'd done it properly, but Root Checker app says root is not properly installed. Also the apps that needed root access still don't have it. HOWEVER, my work e-mail app has been revoked because it detected that my phone is rooted.

SO... I decided to give up on the whole rooting process since I need my work e-mail app. So as I understand I need to flash my phone back to original factory settings using the RUU. During that process, it kept getting hung up with a 155 error and wouldn't let me proceed. Yes, I relocked bootloader.

So it seems I'm not rooted and not unrooted and can't make any progress. I just want my original phone back! :crying: Can anyone please help me in layman's terms? Please understand I'm a novice so please do easy with the acronyms and stuff. Thanks in advance!

So I kinda messed up.
I soft-bricked my phone. Out of impatiences I didn't
back up my phone. Now my phone is stuck in a boot-loop.
I need a stock rom for my phone so I can push an update through the SD.

LG Transpyre
LG(E) VS810PP
Android 4.4.2

I don't remember what I did last to put it in one.

My phone still boots up. Gets to the LG boot screen then to my custom one.
It stays on the custom loading screen. When I press the power button it vibrates.
Same as with the volume buttons.

It won't load in to Safe Mode
and ADB can't find my device.

I am on Linux (Debian Jessie) so any support will be nice.

I have samsung galaxy s duos 2 gt-s7582. I rooted my phone successfully. And the phone was running good until after some 15 days, my phone rebooted automatically. It boots normally again and after some 2 minutes, the screen freezes and reboots again. I performed data wipe/reset from stock recovery but the problem is that though it shows data wipe complete, there is no data wipe at all when i restart the phone. And the phone continues in restarting continuously. Flashing stock firmware through ODIN also shows success and the phone reboots. But the old ROM is not replaced at all..Please HELP !!!

Well I wanted to take a note to anyone using the App Package Disabler to disable ALL of the KNOX apps, I guess it is reported that the owner of the App some how under both Security and Legal Threats from Samsung has been order to not list ANY KNOX app any longer, and I am sure this is going to make people rather unhappy given the results of this.
