Possible fix for sound issue on kitkat

Method 1
I noticed one thing, that kitkat doesn't have this folder:
system/etc/snd_soc_msm
and files:
system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ snd_soc_msm_Taiko
system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ snd_soc_msm_Taiko_1x
located in firmware.
Just place the files in the attach on this location with 644 permissions and reboot.

Flashable zip for unlocked bootloaders thanks to @Wolfbreak

NK2 OTA

For what it's worth this is an interesting piece of the file contexts contained in the new NK2 OTA. I'm very curious about the very last line with "itson-bootstrapper.sh". This doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I'm gonna hold off on this OTA until I know for sure how it effects our phone. For all I know our phones already have this bootstrapper but I'm thinking it probably doesn't... and now Sprint is ready to begin using it on our phones. I thought some people might find it useful and interesting. Anybody have any info about this? I'm not that familiar with Itson but I think it's something new.

Please google Itson and Sprint...it is BAD!!! Very BAD!! The HTC M8 was the first to have this enabled in the 4.4.4 update and it has caused huge battery drains running 50% of the battery down...and randomly...can be fine for days and just start up again. Also it cannot be simply removed or frozen with TB or you lose all data connectivity! O.M.J of Bad Boyz with Captain_Throwback went through everything and found all the places it was integrated, there were many and all had to be removed. Then everything was fine. This is basically some kind of network spyware Sprint has partnered with and are royally screwing up. Also check the Sprint Community boards about HTC M8 battery drain caused by Itson.

Our phone came with the bootstapper, but I believe that it was dormant. Maybe this update activates it? Here's a link a previous discussion. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56966767 Also, @Team DevDigitel has a thread, in the general section.

I also deleted any and all files mentioned a while back pertaining to ItsOn and even took the 6-7 lines out of the build.prop and my phone hasnt had any hiccups .

This update is mostly to support the Gear VR and install Oculus software on the phone

Its been a while and i tried to find directly, where the files were located , some even in system/vendor i believe. As far as the build prop edit, you cant miss it, its 6-7 lines by themselves with ItsOn as the header ..just removed the contained section of lines.

Beside it's on anything beneficial ??

clark_factory-userdebug??

Recieved a replacement Moto X pure today and it appears to be in some kind of debug/testing mode... any idea how to get it back into a usable place?
Has anyone heard of this or seen this? It appears to be a complete phone testing software (firmware maybe?)
I recieved a Warranty Replacement for my Moto X Pure and it came loaded with this firmware.
I tried a factory reset and it came right back up, so it appears to be more of a firmware than software.
Also, the bootloader is locked and I can't figure out how to get back to a usable mode. I waited over 2 months on the advanced replacement and now I can't use it. Regardless... any ideas on this PTEG Factory stuff?

Although this won't mean much to you maybe unlock bootloader and put custom rom or flash the restore to stock?
Also it looks cool! Lol

I can go that route, but would hate to void the warranty to make a warranty replacement work... Ya know? I was hoping to find a way to flash a working build without unlocking bootloader.

I think flashing stock does not require unlocking bootloader

Would be nice if they left a factory image on there somewhere. Of course resetting the phone may have wiped it.

You just have to go to bootloader and run the bat file.. No need to unlock BL for that it's in fastboot mode then
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Looks like it detects both SIM card slots, try inserting 2 SIMs and see what happens. If it works you have a dual SIM US Moto X Pure.

I know how to use fastboot, but from what I understand, the bootloader must be unlocked to flash anything in fastboot... Anyone else care to chime in?

Better root soon?

http://arstechnica.com/security/201...ed-by-most-serious-linux-escalation-bug-ever/
Article says "From what I can tell, in theory it should be able to root every device since Android 1.0. Android 1.0 started on [Linux] kernel [version] 2.6.25, and this exploit has been around since [Linux kernel version] 2.6.22.".
Does this mean we'll have a reliable and stable root soon?

Root nightmare
If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize. But I also want to know if a more reliable version of Route will be available because I have tried 2 different methods listed on this site to root my Verizon S7 and it ruined my phone. Got stuck in boot loop and then when I finally got it to restore after doing a complete firmware reset it's now half functional half not and there's the constant security warning on my phone stating that unauthorized modifications have been made to security reboot phone.. it won't go away. I'm not an idiot I followed the directions fine and my phone is now Jacked. I'm just asking does anyone know of a method that truly works or a way from me to fix the situation there's too many different options listed on the site thank you

Rowhammer exploit might be better but I'm no development so no idea.

I hit up jCase on Twitter about the dirty cow exploit. He said yes this can be used for root. If someone wrote an exploit using it.

Now we just need a bootloader exploit lol

DMVerity is the main problem here. It isn't root really. No matter what we do to /system DMVerity will shoot it down. root isn't our issue I think, it's the bootloader.

not familiar with the note 4 situation. But basically I think Samsung finally figured out that the linux kernel will somehow always be exploited one way or another. I mean it's linux and people understand linux well, it's been around forever. So Samsung created something that keeps an eye on /system(i think this is how it works) and if it sees an unauthorized change it bricks. I may be wrong here someone feel free to correct me.

What to do?

Can I,flash from another device like a pc? With a stock rom?

well, you have it in download mode in that pic, so it seems that youre wanting to flash a tar file via Odin. The pic is a bit blurry, but it looks like a G900F, is this the case? Does it not boot? What are you trying to accomplish? Whats the symptom?

I had downloaded the file but when I rebooted I got that? I thought when using twrp after I chose the downloaded file, it would reboot with the new Rom?

i mentioned it earlier from what i could see in the pic

Yes I think I just need a Rom now for Samsung galaxy s5 g900f. I can't seem to find it, the ones i tried downloading were ridiculously slow eta 8 hours and keep falling.
I've installed Odin and the Samsung usb drivers on my pc.

well, if youre able to boot to download mode, then you might just need TWRP and a custom ROM. sammobile.com/firmwares (specifically https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/ for your phone) is THE reputable place for tar.md5's, but is known for its slow speed and if your computer goes into hibernate at all, the downloads will fail. But, you might be able to get away with flashing TWRP, putting your choice of ROM on to your sd card and installing it from there.

androidfilehost is always a good alternative, but finding one can be daunting. The G900F is a very popular phone, so it shouldnt be that tough to find actually
here is a german 6.0.1 tar.md5. Should have whatever other language youd need in it as well

Ok So I tried using that rom with Odin. But it seems to have failed. And it tells me to use "kies" recovery.
I even searched that And found the software, but it wouldn't run on Windows.
So just what am I doing wrong here?
I downloaded Odin installed it, ran it under ap I chose the German Rom listed above. After a while it appears next to ap so I start the process off and eventually it says FAIL on Odin and my mobile says I need to go into recovery with kies.
Uhm this is starting to annoy me now [emoji15]
