Thanks for the reply. I did try that but it seems Samsung has improved SELINUX and shut the door on that loophole. Attempting to adb pull the database from /data/data/package.name results in "Permission Denied" and attempting to adb shell in directly and try it by running 'run-as package.name'...

Thank you, although to be more clear, I need to make PERMANENT change to a database on the phone and would need root for just 5 minutes to do so at which point I would flash back to stock while keeping the modded database in the app's data. An emulator would not be able to accomplish what I...

Ok, thank you. I wonder if it would be possible to flash this without wiping /data if a HOME_CSC file was available as opposed to just the regular CSC that is linked with wiping the device.

I just need root for 5 minutes to modify a problematic app's database with SQLite Editor and then I plan to flash right back to stock -- is there a way to flash this root method without it wiping the device?

Settings -> Advanced Calling -> Activate Advanced Calling Once you get that activated you'll be able to talk and surf data at the same time as long as you're on LTE.

Yes, and here's why - this commit from the changelog: 56d80b2 angler: update blobs from N2G47O factory image The vendor.img is relatively new in the Android world and, while keeping it as simplistic as possible, essentially contains the hardware drivers to make all the hardware modules work...

You need to reformat the flash drive and start the entire process over for each chromecast. The flash drive changes during the process and if you skip steps it won't work on the next one. Do one chromecast start to finish, then start the process over completely and move on to the next.

Sure thing, happy to help. 3 of my chromecasts got taken out with the bad update and I spent a bit of time this afternoon using that method I posted to get back just fine. Root's gone but I don't need it anymore. The build it came back out with was 220XX... can't remember the XX and, even...

I've got you lads covered. Here is the "back to stock" zip image. Note: This is a one-way road which will PERMANENTLY remove root forever with no way back. But it seems these days that having root on the Chromecast is more hassle and trouble than just rolling stock anyway...

Great update, thanks! Before I spend an hour doing a clean update can anybody see if the phone still FCs hard? Open phone -> 3 dots top right -> settings -> calls. At that point you should hit such a hard FC that the SIM card even unmounts for a few seconds.

We’re not fully in the clear just yet. Adups hasn’t yet published the list of specific Huawei models affected, and everyone saying “it’s only low budget phones that were targeted” is ultimately only guessing and making that assumption based on an incomplete set of data. While Google maintains...

Ok cool. So to test this a bit further since my post on the prior page I tried another test and think I can confirm that a check happens right at boot. Here's what I did: 1) Disabled root right at boot. Added a new card (I clean flashed last night so I had to add it again; unrelated). Once the...

I'm not so sure this is true... Yesterday I successfully completed a transaction on my Nexus 6P (latest 6.0.1 build, magisk v6, magisk manager v1.2, phh root (magisk version 17), systemless xposed with half a dozen modules - basically everything that can break AP I got going on here). Having a...

Here you go, boss: http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/hhyNJ2oP/file.html File was too large to be attached here, so if you have issues with the above link then let me know and I'll PM you a Dropbox link instead. Otherwise just hit the large orange 'Download Now' link at the top right of the link...

The apktool from here works fine for compiling and decompiling on the latest N preview. I just used the d and b commands myself with some N apks an hour ago: https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads/apktool_2.1.1.jar Problem is, SystemUI/res/ is wayyyy different now so I couldn't...
