[HOW TO] Get MSL from Straight Talk Samsung Admire - Miscellaneous Android Development

After trying all methods to get my MSL/SPC, like connectbot, terminal emulator, msl reader, get my msl, adb getprop, I've found a way to get it on this phone and probably all other tracfone samsung android phones.:laugh:
0. Download alogcat form Playstore, open it and hit menu, filter, type MSL <--all caps people
1. Download Launcher Pro from Play Store.
2. Press your home button.
3. Select Launcher Pro.
4. Long press a blank part of your desktop/home screen.
5. Select Shortcuts.
6. Select Activities.
7. Scroll down to com.android.hiddenmenu and select it.
8. Scroll down to Advanced and select it and press ok. That will put the shortcut on your homescreen.
9. Touch the newly made shortcut and enter any 6 random numbers.
10. Now check your alogcat and BAM there's your MSL/SPC.
11. Hit thanks down there v v because I've helped you.
12. Don't brick your phone. Seriously tho.
13. Profit.
14. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391 and download QPST build 402 (the latest version) and leave thanks there too. (I'm trying to come up, yall, lol)
This wouldn't work with Anycut and Anycut no longer on the Play Store. Wouldn't display MSL on logcat by **87284 either and that's the code you type in to change USB settings to use with your phone with QPST, and CDMA Workshop or DFS. Hit thanks.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button!!!

unable to reliably verify your location - can't watch video with wwe network app

Hello,
I always get the error code "unable to reliably verify your location" on the wwe network app when I try to watch a video. With my Galaxy S3 (WWE App), Amazon Fire TV Stick (WWE App) and with Internet Explorer (website) on Windows 10 everything works fine.
I have already contacted Samsung and WWE. WWE says I should talk with the phone manufacturer and Samsung says I should talk to the app developer.
For Android prior version 6 WWE sent me the following solution:
Please follow the steps below for Android Troubleshooting:
Force Stop and Restart
1. Navigate to your home screen.
2. Tap on the Menu key.
3. Tap on Settings
4. Tap on Applications
5. Tap on Manage Applications
6. Tap on the application to close.
7. Tap on Force stop
8. Tap the Home key to return to your home screen.
9. Restart the device.
Enable Location Settings
1. Tap on device Settings icon
2. Tap on Location access
3. Make sure all location services are checked or enabled
4. Tap the Back icon
5. Tap on Developer Options
6. If Developer Options is not visible, do the following to enable
7. Tap on About phone or About tablet
8. Tap on Build Number seven times to unlock 9. Developer Options
10. Tap the Back key
11. Tap on Developer Options
12. Make sure the toggle in the upper right is set to On
13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked
14. Tap the Back icon
15. Tap on Apps
16. Tap on the WWE App application
17. Tap on Force stop
18. Relaunch App and Try to Watch
However this doesn't function with Android 6.0.1 and the S7 / S7 edge because number "13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked" isn't available anymore on the S7.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thank you very much

[FRP] ZTE Majesty Pro Z798BL FRP Bypass

[FRP] ZTE Majesty Pro Z798BL FRP Bypass
(Sorry for the poor write up, it's basically notes from when I did this model quickly. If I get free time I will clean these steps up some so they are more clear and also get ahold of the handset and post additional methods/steps.)
There are multiple ways to do this bypass - here are just a few i came across freestyling. I'll document the others when i get time to lock up one of these phones again (it's a clients so dont have long with it)
1. talkback settings - This was already enabled for me and the chick that did it said she pressed home 3 times quick like on a iPhone. Not sure if that worked or not (i think shes mistaken). I didn't have time to go back and check. The manual and other info out there says to place two fingers on the screen and wait xx amount of seconds. Then talkback would be enabled. Well I have had this handset a handful of times since before this tutorial and i could NEVER get it into Accessibility.. Talkback enabled .. anything. So if someone knows the first step for sure then please post and i'll edit step.
2. help / about. search voice, click on subscribe out pops u to youtube
hit share and a: goto bluetooth and select device / pair mouthpiece or b: goto gmail and enter a email address hotmail or yahoo
3a: turn device off then back on and click till it beeps, say ok google next - enter search string settings hit enter.. goto the 3 lines on the left for settings, click settings and enable in apps boxes, also you could enable the bluetooth settings too but the most importabt thing here is the cards settings. enable these, next search for stock android and launch it. open settings and enable unknown sources, next open google chrome from the apps, search for sidebar apk, install next add these apps (i add all of them incase i need to get back somewhere.. not all are needed though) I add chrome, google, file manager, settings and stock android. next go back to settings then to apps and disable setup wizard and google account manager
3b: goto 3 dots - ? i forget this one so ignore until i remember. lol
3c: goto dialer
4. download dpc test manager 4.0.5 ? run this select device manager hit next then open, lastly goto developer settings oem unlock and usb debugging. goto backup/reset and reset phone. done
3d: (haven't finished) you need to put the phone into "Engineering Mode" first, by dialling *ZTE*OPENEM# (*983*673636#) -- this action will be confirmed by a quick pop-up. To close this mode, dial *ZTE*CLOSEEM# (*983*2567336#) -- this then prompts whether you want to do a Factory Reset, which you do not have to do (you can simply Back away from this screen).
(dont close mode)
go back to dialer and type *983*87274# USBSI USB Switch Test
enable mdm(modem)
-goto cmd, type adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1 (don't remember the outcome)
reboot?
3e: Open uni android tools (if you've got it) and navigate to > UNTESTED

It was very simple for me. For my Z798BL majesty pro i just held down two fingers on open screen till AccessibilityMode came on then swiped my finger from top left down to bottom right(an L shape) across the screen. That opened a menu so I tapped on TalkBack Options (to disable the TalkBack after the TalkBackOptions opened I held down the volume up and volume down Keys till it was disabled) then I scroll down to Help&Feedback clicked on Switch Access Mode question then scroll down to & tapped on the blue words "Turning on Bluetooth" then scroll all the way down to the bottom of that screen to "WasThisArticleHelpful" Yes or No? Tapped on NO, then I typed in anything in the box highlighted it and click on Assist that took me to the Google app then I typed in Chrome because it wouldn't let me download anything from the Google app so I went to the Chrome app then typed in "Test DPC 5.0.4 apk" then I downloaded the Test DCP APK then follow the instructions to install it including update phone's permissions to install unknown source. Clicked on setup new Divice Owner and followed those options til I was done(think just one or two more screens to click on "yes or continue" wasn't hard to figure out from there) when I was done with all that I tapped Back to the Google app typed in Settings clicked on phone settings scroll down to Backup&Reset clicked on reset device then erase everything then turned off my phone and restarted it. And that was it!

Google 2FA Recovery, black Screen. I can unlock S6 with keyboard. How activate ADB?

Hello,
I have a Samsung S6 with android 7.0 running on it. (latest stock firmware) The screen got cracked this week and the digitizer and OLED are not working anymore.
I've got some 2 FA keys in google authenticator that i did not backup. Now i know that i have to keep the QR code safely... but that is too late in this case. I don't want to buy a new screen...
I did manage to get a full backup of my phone by attaching a keyboard with an OTG cable. but this will not recover the 2FA keys in Google Authenticator.
How you can unlock your phone with a keyboard:
1. attach a keyboard with an OTG cable.
2. press the 'esc' button' and 'backspace' button
3. insert your password and press enter. You should hear the unlock sound. (you can unlock with the fingerpint from now on, if it was set)
I did activate developer options before but i disabled it when i'm not using it. So i have to activate it again.
I think i can enable Developer mode blindly by following these steps. The phone needs to be unlocked.
1. typ one letter. This will bring up google search. press backspace and delete (just to be sure it is blank). Now type 'Settings'
2. Press the down key once
3. Press enter
4. press the down key for 10 seconds (this should focus the item on the last option in the list, which is 'developer mode' )
5. press enter
6. press up once
7. press right once
8. enter
developer options should now be enabled.not sure how i can check this tho. I checked if my computer can find my phone. I can access the internal memory because the phone is unlocked.
i asume developer options is enabled... The next step is re-activating debugging mode in order to mirror the screen. But 'adb devices' does not show any device yet. This means 'debugging mode' is still deactivated.
So i'm trying to enable 'Debugging mode' within the 'developer options'.
I searched on youtube to see how the menu looks like in Android 7 on a S6 so i can figure out how many keys i need to press in order to re-activate USB debugging. But i seem to be stuck on this step.
My question: can somebody make screenshots or a video from a samsung S6 (with android 7.0) device with a keyboard attached that shows how many key presses are needed to activate USB debugging?
When i'm in the developer options menu i think i have to press 9 times down, hit enter, then press the right key once and then hit enter again.
Can someone confirm that this is correct?
The RSA keys for my pc were already accepted previously. so that should not be an issue. unless i hit the 'revoke keys' options by accident... (i hope not!)
if anyone knows an other way to activate USB debugging without erasing the whole phone, please tell me. I need access to my 2FA keys. :crying:
edit:
i'm not sure if the steps to enable Developer mode are working. I'm reproducing the steps on an old S5 phone. I now realize that there are internet suggestions when typing "Settings' on the S5 model. I need to press 4x down then enter. hmmm... These suggestions only pops up when wifi is enabled. I can ping my S6 phone. So WiFi is enabled on my broken s6.
---
It would be awesome if someone can record a video that shows me (and potentially others) how to install and run 'SideSync' through keystrokes. on an S6 with android 7.0. SideSync can then mirror and control the screen on a pc..
I'm going to try this blindly for now... fingers crossed
edit2: it seems that SideSync needs a code that is shown on the S6 screen. damn it. Searching for other solutions...
Kind Regards,
Vincent

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - StraightTalk LGL84VL

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - StraightTalk LGL84VL
Android Ver 7.0
Security Patch: November 6, 2017
Worlds First Stylo 3 StraightTalk bypass! 09/26/18
I've bypassed yet another Stylo 3 and this time it is the StraightTalk model.
This is different than my other bypasses and it seems I am the first to do it. There is no download mode for this model and no fastboot so that eliminates a lot of easier ways. Only leaves doing it manually. My instructions are different than the other Stylo 3 tutorial threads I have made here on XDA. I have also done a video which will be linked below. It is on my new YouTube channel which will have videos for any new FRP I do, my old FRP's (when i get ahold of the handsets again), and of course anything Android related.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple.
**YOU WILL NEED A BLUETOOTH HEADSET FOR THIS METHOD!**
I will be posting the tutorial and video for the NON BlueTooth method very soon.
Video - (Working on as I post this.. will be posted here soon..)
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode / TalkBack by pressing 2 fingers on the screen and holding till it beeps. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Press on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Press the youtube video and Press the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. If a screen shows asking you to update YouTube Press "not now". Once youtube is opened Press the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Press on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Press this and then Press the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Press the top 3 dots again then Press manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to BlueTooth and enable. Next pair your bluetooth device. Now scroll down to Fingerprints and Security, press this and next goto Phone Administrators then disable Find My Device. Reboot. Once booted press your bluetooth headset button and say "open settings" (if you are only presented with a box this first time type in "settings" and Press on the settings icon that appears. Goto settings and back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Now to download some files. Back out of settings and press your bluetooth and say "open chrome".
5. Type in this url http://re-uploading-files and download the files needed for this bypass. Download all but the zip file unless you want to have a zipped copy to save to your phone/pc. Now when you goto this link it will have one popup, close that and go back to the original page and click continue which you will be directed to another page with another popup. Do the same as before and continue on to where you will land on a page with a folder of the files you need to download. When downloading each it might pop up pop ups so just close those and go back to the page downloading each file except for that zip unless you want to have it as well. I am SORRY for this, working on putting them up elsewhere with no popups/ad's exclusively for XDA members. First one you need to install and open is SideBar Lite. Once it is done swype over from the left of the screen to check that it is working. Now install QuickShortCut Maker. Swype from the left of the screen to slide SideBar into view. Press the arrow and add File Manager + QuickShortCut Maker to the bar and these others that arent 100% needed but i always do just in case - Chrome, Settings, and Phone Dialer.
6. Now go back to settings using bluetooth, goto Apps, at the top right Press 3 dots and select show system. Now Disable/Force Stop then Clear Data and Cache of these apps - Google Account Manager / Google Play Services / Google Playstore / Setup Wizard (both).
7. Slide into view your SideBar. Navigate to your downloads folder through File Manager that I had you add earlier and open it. Now run FRP_Stylo3.apk and add a google account by going to Search & Now then Accounts & Privacy. Now it should crash after doing this. Simply press open again, then goto google account, Press on add account and then it should show the account. Just do the last part i mentioned so you can make sure it is there. Now use SideBar again and open File Manager then Run FRP_Bypass.apk (go ahead and run.. but might not be needed) then GAM_7.0.apk.
8. Now slide into view Side Bar and open QuickShortCut Maker. At the top select "Normal Search". Type into the search "home". Press the first one that shows up which is "Home". It should expand so now Press the one that says Home with this text wrote below it "com.lge.launcher3/com.lge.launcher3.LauncherExtension" and press "Try". Now Press on Google app box on the main page and Press gmail. It will ask you to enable Google Play Services. Do this.
9. Reboot phone
10. Now you are back at the Setup Wizard. Follow through it and disable WiFi when you get to that part. Continue setting up your phone. You have bypassed FRP now! Now simply goto your settings, then Backup and Reset and Factory Data Reset your phone.

Using Swype keyboard bypass a Frp lock on Samsung galaxy 6s Egde+ with version 6.0.1

1) Connect the device to a wifi that you have immediate control over when it will shut off
2) Click next and proceed through Setup until you see the device say "Software Update" and at the VERY second that you notice this screen kill the wifi. If done correctly the phone will say "Couldn't connect to internet" and pass you onto the next screen.
3) Continue through setup until prompted to set up a screen lock. Choose PASSWORD, and type in a desired password. Fingerprint is not needed but I do it in the video for kicks.
4) Proceed through the next couple screens until it spits you back out at the main Setup screen and at this point reboot the phone.
5) Upon starting your device will be locked with the password you chose earlier. Tap the keyboard icon next to the password prompt and then choose Swype.
6) Tap and hold the bottom left key on your Swype keyboard (this opens up Swype settings in the background!) and then type in your password to unlock the device.
7) Tap Help, Version, Swype, in that order and then you'll see a YouTube link at the bottom. Tap that link.
8) Once YouTube opens tap the 3 dots in the top right, then choose Privacy Policy. Choose Internet. DO NOT CHOOSE CHROME OR YOU'LL HAVE TO START OVER FROM THE BEGINNING AND FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE!!!
9) Go to rootjunkysdl.com (no affiliation) and then tap on Apps, then FRP and download "Google Account Manager 6" and "FRP Bypass" apk's.
10) Scroll around on the screen so the Bookmarks icon appears at the bottom and tap on that, then tap the History tab and you'll see Downloads. Tap that.
11) Install the Google Account Manager apk first, then install the FRP Bypass app. Choose Open once FRP Bypass is done installing.
12) Tap the 3 dots in the corner, then choose Browser Sign-in.
13) Log in with a Google Account you have control of. When finished tap the back button a million times (not literally) until you're back at the first page of Setup.
14) Proceed through Setup as you would normally and you'll see Account Added. Once past this screen its going to sit and load for what seems like FOREVER..... but if you give it time it will eventually load and you'll be able to finish Setup!
