If you're anything like me you were itching to modify your Galaxy Fold and with the help of some very helpful folks in the community I've so far managed to achieve the following:
- Device rooted
- Magisk installed
- Encryption disabled
- Process authentication disabled
- Debloated (to my requirements)
The things I have not yet managed to achieve are:
- No custom kernel (no kernel sources released yet despite 4 requests! >_>)
- No TWRP (same reason as above - can't build a kernel for it until we have kernel sources.)
Once the custom kernel is out I'll draft together a guide for the whole process end-to-end of unlocking the bootloader, rooting the device, installing TWRP and installing Magisk.
Just holding off for now until we have a working recovery since if you do something wrong and break your Fold without a recovery you're in a very bad position.

Wow!

Fantastic news

I'm guessing this is for the oversea models? Not the unlocked an att

Sorry for bumping and old thread but..
If it's possible to share the resources that may work for the F900U this would be great.. Please!! *begs*

[Q] How to Dump ROM and Root New Device (Mi700 DroidPad)

I know this is not a HD2 question, but I am desperate for some guidance and answers. I am about to get my hands on a new Mi700 DroidPad, a budget Android Tablet, with Android 2.2. I wrote a review which was picked up at Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/30/c...wfully-famili/. The software as I can perceive it so far is problematic (slightly buggy). Since this is a new device (and I have checked for any development efforts from the Net and found none so far), I was wondering what I should do in order to:
1) Root the device
2) Dump the ROM
In regards to rooting the device, I was thinking since it shares the same CPU as the Aria and Legend (MSM7227), can I just use the one-click root method? I will try that, but would like to know alternatives if that fails.
On dumping the ROM, well... I have no idea what can be done, but would love to try doing it, so that Flash can run on it. At the moment, though it is on 2.2, Flash does not appear in the Market.
Anyway, thanks a lot guys. If anyone can help clarify the matter or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Btw, I'm trying to arrange with CSL to give developers some discount on purchasing this device which is equal in functionality with Samsung's Tab, without the crazy pricing.
Thanks!

[Q] Help Theming Google Search Widget

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:

I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus

Need advice on flashing korean version Galaxy Note LTE (SHV-E160S)

Hi! First off, i'm sorry if this is the wrong sub i don't know where to post this.
My problem is that i'm new on flashing and i want to flash my phone but i am very confused at the moment. I've been researching what custom rom i should use and i from what i gathered is that i have to flash the original stock android first then flash the custom rom? This is what my phone settings looks like at the moment

. I'm running ICS and i want to update to Jellybean. Also, when i was researching i discovered something called cwm 6x and i don't know what's it for. I Dl'ed is as well just in case but now i'm stuck. I would like to learn from you guys on how to do it because i don't want to take a risk on bricking the phone cause i don't have any knowledge on flashing. Also, sorry for asking this question. This has probably asked before but the search engine for some reason is not working for me.
Edit: Also, i dl'ed the stock versions of this phone. It's the 4.1.2 version update. The custom rom i was planning to put on is this rom called EROM-E160K.[eRuiZhi.com].[Sdhjt.ORG].[J2] i dl'ed it from a thread here in xda.

"Error: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure UE_2003" when trying to update to 6.0.1

Hi,
I just bought a sony xperia Z5compact from another guy that barely used it. He gave it to me with apparently, a stock ROM. But I dont know if the other guy did anything on the phone like rooting, unlocking, whatever.
But now I want to update from 6.0 to 6.0.1 and I cant do it. Neither in the phone, nor with the computer coz I get this error:
error: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure
UE_2003".
I checked more, and the phone has TWRP recovery and an Androdplus kernel. So it has been modified, but I dont know how to check the status of the bootloader or if it rooted.
I want to update the phone to 6.0.1. and I would like to have a stock rom and a locked bootloader. (because I read that custom rom and unlocking bootloader affect to the function of the camera).
How can I do it?
I am getting different information over the forum and the internet, and I am getting a bit lost...
the security thing from service info, stays like this

Hi, i've got the same issue,
did you find any solution to update the phone ?
Thanks !

Do I need to, and if so, how to update firmware and vendor security patch level?

Apologies if this is something very obvious but I don't understand much about this stuff. All I have been doing for the last few years is install the latest version of lineage (monthly for the security updates) and just leave it there, because I don't wanna screw up my phone.
I just saw that lineage support has been dropped dropped for this device, so I decided to move to the AOSIP Android Q build.
I was checking 'About Phone', when I noticed that vendor security patch level dated all the way back to 2018.

I don't know what it is but it seemed concerning especially after all I hear about keeping your phone updated with the latest patches and stuff. Likewise I have also seen the word 'firmware' being thrown out a lot on this forum, so I would like to know whether I need to update it as well. I have never done it after I first installed a custom ROM on this device in 2018.
That's it basically, I wanted to ask is there something I should do before I do the usual clearing system, data, cache, dalvik and flash the intended ROM and gapps?
Thank you <3
