revmoo posted:Seriously? I figured buying a flagship would guarantee the ability to root. That's for some weird overseas version of the S9 that uses a different processor. If you want root you pretty much have to get a Pixel. Also it has to be the one directly from Google. The Verizon-made one sucks.

I was going to buy an S9 because of its form factor but didn't because of the US version being unrootable. Off topic but I'm surprised with all the Chinese phone manufacturers out there no one has bothered to make a 4.2 to 4.7" phone with recent hardware. I'd buy one in a second.

Pretty much the only reason I still root is for Tethering (which if SERO gets ported to SWAC in the future, then I may no longer need to do this) and for a reliable complete backup solution (Titanium Backup). Sadly I don't see Google ever getting the 2nd thing ever figured out as unless an app opts into cloud backup, its a crapshoot if you can back it up manually or not. Titanium Backup makes it extremely easy to do a clean wipe and restore specific apps that have a lot of data that doesn't get backed up automatically or at all. (Chrome Tabs for example...  )

Non-capped tethering is reason alone to use root. I won't buy a phone that can't be rooted. I tether hours a day. All the other stuff is just a bonus.

EdEddnEddy posted:What if you have capped wifi? I think my home internet probably has some dumb cap of like a terabyte or something? I dunno, nothing that I've ever run up against or know about obviously. But I guess that counts as capped wifi? I think my phone plan is 4 gb per month, but anywhere I'd use my laptop and need to tether is at work or home or some cafe with wifi or whatever. And 4 gb wouldn't go too far.

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit but I haven't actually rooted my 6T. Every now and then I come across some Magisk thing that would be moderately neat to have, but it's not like my Samsung days where their fuckery drove me nuts and I was installing CyanogenMod within weeks. I kinda want to do it still just because, but I haven't bothered to look up if I lose anything by doing so on this phone. I don't think there's any nonsense like Sony's camera thing where features are lost permanently, but still.

sourdough posted:This is why I root  Anyway, this isn’t about rooting, but is about firmware flashing, is this the same thing now (I haven’t “rooted” a device since the T-Mobile G1)? Basically I’m just wanting to know if it’s possible to flash the stock, basic-rear end firmware from a non-carrier branded Galaxy S10e/S10/S10+ onto a T-Mobile branded S10e/S10/S10+, in order to get all the pre-loaded shitware off it? I don’t want whatever the gently caress that dude up thread has, I don’t want to enable a bunch of features or overclock or any of that poo poo; just get the stuff T-Mobile preloads on the device actually off instead of just “disabling” it, and getting faster updates directly from Samsung rather than waiting for T-Mobile to do their thing with the updates.

Two things I'm interested in: Is there a simple way to make save-states of ordinary apps in rooted android? Like the kind of poo poo that you would expect out of an emulator or virtual machine: mirror an app's current exact state in memory and then just drop it right back into that snapshot at your leisure. It's easy with virtualization because you have the entire machine in a jar and don't need to dissect shared resources, but my understanding is that hypervisors on Android are already kind of a thing (isn't it how Samsung's Knox works?) so I was thinking someone might have made an app-wrapper to do exactly this. Other thing: blocking calls with extreme prejudice. I have no idea how voice networking works these days but if there was enough information in the hailing package for a low-level demon to identify the caller's number and then just never respond so that, as far as the Telecom knew, the phone was just off? That would be great. But I would just as soon accept a solution where it catches the connection and immediately hangs up before anything in user-space even sees it. Actually, just give me options.

Linux has containers. The LXC project is like a decade old. Anbox employs the LXC suite to run android apps on other linux platforms. $lxc-copy -s and $lxc-checkpoint take snapshots/checkpoints of containers. At a glance, I wouldn't guess this is technically infeasible. I imagine you would be installing a package in the bootloader environment, but we're no strangers to that. If you could tell me with authority that nobody has bothered to write the code or that there's reasons it would run like hell, then I can believe you, but it's not like your phone isn't Turing complete.

Eikre posted:Two things I'm interested in: For the second one, I use You Mail and set one of the voicemails to "beep boop beep, the number you have dialed has been disconnected" for any number where I explicitly ignore the call. If you just let the phone ring and ring it will go to normal voicemail. Anyway do this enough times and your number is marked as inactive by their machines and you never get telemarketing calls again.

Not sure where to post this, but I'll try here first. Anyone aware of an idiot's guide walkthrough for getting ADB working on Linux? I'm trying to root a Fire tablet (HD 10 - 2017) and have followed about a dozen guides but the device never shows up when I run adb devices. Device is in developer mode with ADB activated, so I'm assuming it's got to be a problem on the PC end.

I've never had issues with Linux, usually just install android adb tools from the package manager and I'm good to go. Just to make sure, on the android device you have 1. Turned on developer settings 2. Inside the developer settings menu, you've enabled USB debugging 3. Plug the android device into your pc with a USB cable, and a popup will appear on the android device asking if you want to authorize the PC to connect in debug mode. Accept the prompt. (not at a PC atm so I cant provide a picture) At this point, adb devices should show your device. Edit: Amazon has a support page for this and mentions that the device has to be in MTP mode for the usb debug connection to work: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tablets/connecting-adb-to-device.html yergacheffe fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Oct 3, 2020 |

Nevermind. I guess it was the cable I was using. Showed up as charging so I assumed it was working. Swapped it for another and it worked right away. *sigh* EDIT: But, thank you so much for the reply! Tuxedo Gin fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Oct 3, 2020 |

Dedicated charging cables actually have a resistor across the data pins and provide no data connection.

You also need to setup udev rules to correctly setup permissions, depending on distro. The arch wiki is usually a good resource regardless if your actually running arch.
