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...

First, Marshmallow has not yet been released for the Verizon G4 (VS986). So you cannot upgrade to MM at this time and will have to wait for Verizon to release the update. Nobody knows when that will be, but as of yesterday, all 3 other major carriers have released MM for their G4s. Second, you...

Thank you!

Right now the fire tablet is $35 on Amazon for black Friday. I've been following this device waiting for a sale, but some of the information I'm reading here is confusing... I'm wondering if Amazon has updated and patched the Fire tablet to block all exploits, or can TWRP and still CM be...

"Hi there! I use [unpopular phone model number] that I bought from [random website]. I clearly haven’t read the OP; you can tell because I’m asking questions that have literally been answered there as well as other places in this thread, but I have [*continues to describe non-important details...

With all due respect, rather than tossing a red herring fallacy at me, can you please specifically cite what is factually incorrect about my original statement re: the majority of G4 models shipping with locked bootloaders? The issue at hand is not regarding your claim concerning whether the...

I'm not as optimistic as you. Yes, the exploit we used to root may still be open (after all, they left it open on the G3 -> G4). But a new problem is present: Starting with Android 6.0 all kernels now use a forceencrypt flag. Even all Nexus users have had to flash a custom kernel which flips the...

I don't think that's going to help, my friend. Verizon and some of the other US carriers typically ground one of the wires leading to the FM module, which literally diverts electricity away from it so that it won't even turn on - and I bet that's what Verizon has done here with their G4 as well...

Please tell me you're still considering option number 3. We G4 users won't complain about bugs or incomplete features that you're still working to finish, we promise! :)

Thank you. Any chance you could elaborate a little further on how you exactly did this? While not exactly root related, I think a lot of people are watching this thread to see if somebody successfully hijacked this root method to install the Xposed files instead of the root files, and it looks...

In the first post the devs state that it's not called "Low Effort" because it is low effort on YOUR part, but rather low effort on THEIRS as this is a cheap and dirty way to gain root. That being said, it IS pretty easy when you compare to oldschool root methods we used to have to do that were...

Glad you got Titanium Buckup to work. I had a similar issue with it saying "not enough free space" whenever I tried to run a backup even though I had 30 gigs free on my sd card. In case anyone else has this issue, the official fix is to do the following: Navigate to...

A fair question :) The reason you haven’t seen a reason in this thread is because it was posted in another thread. The devs learned several weeks back that when you update to 11A there is an “anti-rollback” counter that ticks up from 0 to 1. This means that once you upgrade to 11A, you can...

Uh huh. And where exactly did I ask if my model was supported, as you insinuated in your first attack post? Can you show me? No you can't because I didn't. You jumped all over me about something I didn't do, straw man. Have you even been paying attention? Our 11A version in the OP causes...

There is no Verizon 10B image in the OP, champ. Somebody else (i.e. NOT one of the devs) just posted it here an hour ago and I'm the first to post whether or not that image actually works. Please show me where a 10B version for Verizon is "CLEARLY marked in the OP" as you suggest. Calm your tits.

Confirmed working on my Verizon VS986 running stock 10B software and bootloader. Thanks for the upload!

Maybe... autoprime and thecubed never officially chimed in to say whether or not they have and intend to root the Verizon 10B image or any of the other images that were posted by users in this thread since yesterday. And, unless I missed it, I haven't seen a tutorial posted anywhere on how we...

Any of the devs willing to chime in and say whether or not they are rooting any of the new images we've been posting in here since yesterday (Verizon 10B, Telus H812, etc)? If so, awesome and thank you. If not, would you guys mind posting a tutorial so that we can root the images ourselves...

Does doing a factory reset and flashing the stock unrooted KDZ set your phone's status back to "Official" instead of modified? Just noticed a couple of dead pixels on the screen and I'd like to send it in for warranty replacement. Normally they cover dead pixels regardless of phone status, but I...

I think you would also need to add the libsupol.so library file, as well as the su and supolicy binaries, but I'll defer to the devs for verification.

Same here. I'll dump and upload Verizon 10B right now if somebody can give me the proper command

+1 on this. There are many of us willing to provide a Verizon 10B system image if the devs will chime in and let us know whether or not they can patch it. Pretty please :D

Did you try rebooting to recovery and either wiping cache or doing a factory reset first? We've been watching this thread and waiting to see if Verizon 10B variants only need a wipe of some kind to boot up again after rooting. If anybody on 10B is planning to do this root, please try both...

Are we 100% sure about this? Has anyone been able to successfully flash this on Verizon 10B? Since this root method doesn't touch anything other than /system, it seems it should work without having to upgrade to the full OTA. Perhaps a simple clearing of cache or maybe even a factory reset after...

Thank you. I think that's all most people wanted was just to know IF anybody was even still looking at the G4 since all communication about it went completely dark for a several weeks. The updates today from you and thecubed pleasantly addressed those concerns. We still understand and will...

I sort of understand where you're coming from as the attitudes you describe are certainly found sometimes here on XDA, but I don't think the guy asking above sounded entitled or demanding. It's been several weeks since there's been a single word on any progress and so people are curious about...

Don’t pay too much attention to the naysayers. Many of us have been here on XDA a long time and know that you personally have made a lot of selfless contributions to the community, including numerous effective and broad root methods. What you’re seeing as the years go by here on XDA is the...

I've spent the last hour reading threads and it all seems very confusing... My bootloader is still unlocked from the good old days - is there any way possible to run NE1 / 4.4.2 TouchWiz on my device?

Great work, Antares. Do you have any update on your solution for Verizon and AT&T variants?

That Titanium Backup beta apk works fine on my N7 as seen below. The developer stated on their Twitter to make sure you are using the latest SuperSu and that you make sure you clear /data/data/ for any previous versions of Titanium in order to make it work. Perhaps you both just updated the app...

Titanium Backup beta version with L support available here: https://twitter.com/TitaniumBackup/status/484410624672559105 Also, as an aside, to those of you giving 1 star app reviews in the Play Store for apps like TiBu, please stop. The WHOLE POINT of the developer preview is so that devs get...

They tweeted a few hours ago to say that they're aware of the new L release and are updating the app accordingly: https://twitter.com/TitaniumBackup/status/483625527144882176

Seems that one particular build of PAC was causing the issue. For what it's worth, that same PAC build was also causing MMS issues so clearly the ROM's fault. Clean flashed last night's CM and a different PAC build and both work fine now for both W2W and DT2W. Thanks for talking me through it...

Yes, I have a wake lock set. And yes I have tried tapping all over the screen, including the bottom left many times. Here's a screenshot of my wake settings: http://imgur.com/1IO6yDj Everything else with the kernel seems to work great so I really don't know what to do from here. I'm about to...

Thanks. That value is at 11 so I don't think that's the problem. And that doesn't explain why double tap 2 wake doesn't work. One of the message logs I posted above shows that the kernel was struggling to define which board I was using. Since CM and PAC now have unified builds in which...
