Got it working on the note 7 port Rom

I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!
Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!
Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.

Can anybody confirm that this is true for me? I haven't seen anyone else mention this.

Hello, I would like your help.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.
Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?
Thank you.

Yes that's correct

It looks like the Root Switch has stopped working, at least here on my S4 I9505 with Android 5.0.1.
Anyone else going through this?

Root Switch never work on my G900T S5 with Lollipop 5.1.1

There was a safetynet update last week that breaks RootSwitch. Had to go the Magisk route but now can use Android Pay along with PoGo

virus in android

My phone just stopped working. It's restarting and restarting.
I used Debloater to stop apps about 140 apps. now it's kind stable while starting.
My problem is I cannot install apps.
Google Play is showing "Error Retrieving Infomation From Server RH-01"
Apk installing is not working.
I am downloading android studio to install from PC. Will this work "adb install path??"? I have never done this.
Can you say if these apps are okay to disable?

I dont even need to look, you disabled things you shouldn't have, don't disable anything unless you know EXACTLY what it is.
Now, to fix this, do a Google search for:

Thank you for the reply.
I tried to Return to my Stock, but everything gone black screen.
Android boots, sounds and vibrate and unlock water sounds, but, everything gone black and colorful lines. A wrong ROM may be?
Plus The flash tools not working properly. Installed Drivers(a lots of times).
I Flash ALL + Download and mistakenly pull out the cable. The mobile doesn't turn on.
After few days I tried and I got ROM from Supergeek, Cubot_GT95_4015C_S135MWI_CQ02_V0.4.1790 which only worked.
Others did not work. My knowledge not enough to understand...
I have Cubot GT95.
Any other help will be kindly appreciated.
Thank you.

[Guide/Fix] App package conflict when install. (August patch no root)

Hello.
Im not sure if someone else also found the fix for app conflicts and errors when u mannualy update system apps. But I found a working fix.
When I was testing something to fix my led cover but find out this will resolve the annoying conflicts when manually updating system apps.
So this will work for as I tested so far for 10 minuts or when u reboot. After that u need to do this again.
1. Go to device security.
2. Go to safe or secure start up. Im not English so.
3. If secure start up is disabled turn it on and reboot.
3. If secure start up is enabled turn it off and reboot.
I was able to update all apps I had conflicts before. But when I reboot again u will need to redo step 3. Only this time it will be turning on or off instead of off or on. So bassicly when it was turned off then u will turn it on instead.
Hope this will help for u guys aswell.

I just tried this workaround, and I can confirm it WORKS!:good:

HOW TO: Get snapchat to work on rooted galaxy S8+

I was having this problem that I was unable to log in to snapchat after I rooted my device. I started searching for answers and the answer I found was not working BUT, I figured out a way to use that method and when it was not working, I found a way around it.
WARNING! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH SNAPDRAGON SAMPWND/SAMFAIL ROOT!
READ TO THE END!
1. Download ROOTSWITCH and run it.
2. Click on stop all su daemons and disable the root. (Now many of you may have tried this and be unable to switch the root on again like happened to me and this is where I was able to find away around it.)
3. Log in to snapchat
4. After you have logged in to snapchat, delete ROOTSWITCH if you are unable to enable the root again.
5. Now the phone is still not with a working root so now you have to boot into recovery and flash SuperSU and reboot your phone.
This is how I did it and worked like a charm and I hope this helps someone. I am not a professional and I have only had my S8+ for less than 3 weeks and before that I didn't have a smartphone for over 2 years.
I apologize if my English is not perfect.

If you could put a disclaimer that this is for exynos only that would be great. Snapdragon devices have no custom recovery and can't flash without root, so this will not work with them

Thanks that's also good to know Like I said in the OP I've only had the phone for 3 weeks and this is only what worked for me. I use SuperSU but the only reason for that is I used have a rooted galaxy S2 and always used it on that one.

Xperfix

Hi Friends
My wife by mistake deleted important files. Tried Dr. Fone and others but need to root before doing deepscan to recover. I spend hours and but error all the time at 80% because no root access.
I have no choice but to unlock bootloader without backing up TA neither I know how to do it.
Due to late night no time to manually sideloads, but bought Xperfix to do the job to TWRP/ROOT/DRM
So far twrp installed successfully but not rooted nor installed magisk . Let me pull the usb at 20% and wait twrp to reload after 100% nothing done. Maybe twrp not mounted system properly?
I am also worry now after seeing others saying that unlocking bootloader will effect the camera functions?
But as per xperfix 3.0 it says the problem been solved.
How is this Xperfix does it really work ?

try flashing magisk 16 in recovery and see if you get root.

When you bought Xperiafix you also bought support from the developer. Go back to sToRm//'s website and raise a support ticket.
If you include the txt logs found in c:\xperiafix that would be helpful
I have used his tool on my XZ1 compact, so I know it works, but getting the right drivers installed on your Windows machine is a real minefield. Windows chooses the wrong drivers by default when you connect the phone with TWRP running. This sounds like your problem to me. You have to manually add them with the phone connected TWRP on.
Also, you can't just install the drivers in Windows 10 (Windows doesn't tell you it failed to install the drivers, you just can't connect.), you have to go into safe mode and install the drivers with 'driver signing disabled',
There is a lot of helpful advice in the original Xperiafix thread, along with the links to drivers required.
Edit: you have to pull the USB at 20%, go into TWRP yourself (from powered off, hold volume down & power, wait until phone starts, keep volume down for a few more seconds) and swipe to make system partion writeable, then reconnect phone and Xperiafix will do the rest.

appreciate your reply , I have tried many times reflashing with xperifix when twrp reach 20% to restart it wont restart auto I need follow on screen instructions to do and mounted the system untic the and finished to 100% but again no magis and no drm . I copied the magis file from xperifix folder and flashed directly now have rooted already. Only thing why I have been using xperfix because of camera issue and is green. Support no reply yet since yesterday.
Can I manually flash the drm and fix the camera issue ? Please guide me my wife is so sad about this incident.

Hi Raven I can see the DRM Folder with files but which files to flash or if have any instructions somewhere to follow to avoid error.
DRM >
Lib folder
Lib64 folder
sfk application
Or I just need to run sfk app in twrp that's it?

Can you post the logs from the C:\Xperiafix folder?
Once you have reached the 20% step and gone into TWRP to enable system file write and plug the phone back in, Xperiafix continues if it does nothing then the drivers are wrong.
You will know when the drivers are right as the phone restarts itself once it's been reconnected to Xperiafix.
Read this thread on the original app, everything is explained and the drivers linked

Explanation from sToRm//, help is on the way!

I got it fixed by reinstalling and use WIN10 . Now all set. Appreciate to all my friends on XDA for assisting me.
I want to now after this will I be still getting OTA from Sony can update or need manually update?
How is the battery life after using xperfix?

Hi Friend I am back again with some help need.

Android pay will work if you follow Xperiafix. Magisk will install and if you select 'magisk hide' in the settings you will be able to use android pay. It's ok, you don't have to pretend it's your wife's phone

Hi Mate
Thats what we did but failed with Android Pay at counter.
Also bank applications refuse to install because phone was rooted.
Do banking applications works on rooted phone?

Have you tried to run Safteynet after you have installed Magisk? (on the Magisk start page)
Do you have Xposed installed?
There is no way to hide Xposed and it will fail Safteynet
I have several banking apps that work and one that refuses to install

Nope I did not install xposed.
Here is the problem after clicked start safety net the status all are failed.

Got is solved by hiding safety check passed.
But still the citibank app refused to run due to rooted phone.
Anyone tried this app if working?
Regarding android pay do I need to run safety net check each time before using it?

Now we have received notifications of OTA Updates I want update her phone . Do I need to follow exactly as per below link ?
How about settings and data will that remain? Because I use TWRP on my other phones to flash roms which is fast and safe.
Why we dont have same solution for Sony but need use newflasher tools?
