Rooted my S7E, and just noticed that the common Samsung dialer codes (as *#0*# or even *#06#) do no longer work!
When I enter them into the dialer nothing happens! I used them successfully before!
Only change is that I installed TWRP, root and Viper!
Do dialer codes work on your phone after root?

Yes, it works for me.
That's very strange. Root shouldn't affect those codes as they are generic for all devices.

Thx for the replies!
For me this is also strange, I can't remember that this was the case anytime before I rooted an android device!
Anyone else with this problem?

Did you perhaps install the Google Phone application? I installed it and can't use dialer codes with it. If I switch back to the stock Samsung Phone application it works again.

another rom? i think this would fix it, but it would be interessting for me WHAT caused this behaviour !
I had this problem once. Factory reset did the trick for me
Solution to failed dialler codes
Boot into recovery using vol up+home button + power button.Then wipe cache in the recovery and reboot.I hope that solves it.
S7 Edge G935V
Yes My husband replaced the stock Rom on my rooted S7 G935v and the codes didn't work afterwards
maybe the feature was turned off during the root process. use a file browser with root permissions and navigate to the lowest level and go to-- /efs/carrier --then long press hidden menu and open it with a text editor. Using capital letters just change the OFF to ON then save it, reboot and try your codes again. :highfive:

Same thing here
try using the search feature in file browser. make sure it has root access with permissions granted.

Check this no folder named carrier at all

I see that. Do you use the stock rom? See if you have the actual apk file in your system apps
if you don't have the apk file I think I can send mine. I'm pretty sure if you manually inset the apk in the system folder and change the permissions to match what the other apps in the folder have it should work. I mean you may have to create a couple other files though like the carrier folder and the document in it.

hello i5800 users
i was looking for ways to add a reboot option in the power menu but none seem compatible with i5800. AFAIK it is done by installing andoid.policy.jar but how can i do it for i5800? any ideas?
p.s. something like "Hot Reboot" would also be very useful.
thanks in advance
If you have a rooted phone then you can use switch pro widget to reboot. Another free alternate is to use widgetsoid2.x
Just add widget to reboot.

my point was i don't want no widgets. i just want to have an option for reboot when i press the power button
Just use AnReboot from the Market, giving you the option to boot into Recovery Mode,as well.

i just use the terminal, su reboot. or su reboot download or whatever kinda reboot i need

Its not about the ROM, I think it can be done by modifying some .jar files or some .xml files.

You can't edit the .jar or XML files without to deodex the rom, and it seems like nobody did that yet...

I just read yesterday what's the matter with "deodexed". Am I right it's about to geht the .odex files back to .jar files? How can that be done?
Can this be done with the "xUltimate"-Tool? I read this was working on the Galaxy Spica...

i think you have to have all the framework and everything in the folder with the apk you want to deodex or so, i am no pro at all, but thats what i read about that...
so any guidance on this one? please?
i am interested in this too!!
i have found a smali files but dont know how must this be modified or applied...
thanks!!
Here is the thread explains steps for adding reboot option. Will try it and port result.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812341
I have tried it out but in the backsmali/smali jar i have downloaded i can find the "classes.dex"...
It was in android.policy.jar. Trying it now... (but dont have the folio here =()
Have u tried it?!!?
My problem is that in the file i got policy.jar does not appear those things that need to be modified, do i need the dex file from folio? how can i get it?
I discovered this as I was following someone else instructions that didn't quite work and then messing up my phone to where my "com.android.phone" was failing but I was able to find the way for it to so I do not take full credit for this at all and if this has been known I do apologize. This mod does require root explorer (or similar app) and you need to be rooted.
1a. open root explorer and go to system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml
1b. Long old "open in text editor" change "" to true
2a. Back out to root of phone then data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs and repeat step "1b" on "_has_set_default_values.xml" and " Settings.xml"
2b. Make a copy of " com.android.phone_preferences.xml" within that same folder
2c. Open copy file in text editor and repeat step "1b"
2d. Change file name of copy to " com.android.phone_preferences.xml.bak"
3a. Reboot phone
Now when you go into settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks you will be able to select whether you want 2G, 3G, or automatic which selects 4G. If anyone has trouble or anything PM me and I'd be more than happy to walk you through.
Oh and this should work on froyo and GB
*********************************
Looks like this does open the ability to select 2G or 3G selecting either or does nothing. I will continue to look into these files to see if I can make this work
*********************************
I got this far but now Im stuck. The selection can be made but the actual band change isn't occurring. If anyone much have some insight let me know and I'll update the OP.

Since the power control widget is a built in app this tweak unfortunately does not affect it. And since my knowledge is nowhere near a devs I wouldn't be able to make a rom with a widget that supports this mod.

How do I know if I'm really on 2G?
Hi, I have already changed its. But when I reboot the phone. All file in data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs are return to the original.
Can you suggest to me for solve this?
Thanks,
Sorry guys I just edited my instructions. You need to edit the .bak file for "com.android.phone_preferences.xml" because the system auto resets to the .bak file for this one so you're tricking it into reseting into the modded file

It works on atrix 2.
Does this has permanent effect?

It downloaded over night without any interaction from me. :-/
Stock, rooted.

What I did is let it download and reboot into custom recovery and then stopped the flash. Told TWRP to cancel the flash, then rebooted the system and got rid of the update. Then went into /cache and deleted the update file. Never been prompted again.
Usually you can let it try to install and fail to get rid of any nagging. Say if you make a backup of S-Health app and uninstall/freeze it and maybe some other stock system apps the update will fail anyways since it can't update those.
Thanks.

Ahh, found it & deleted it from my cache.
***TLDR: I edited build.prop, and now it looks like my /system/ folder has been deleted, phone won't boot. Will I be able to save my phone? or do I have to re flash it and start from scratch?
I was trying to get a patched Google Wallet working on my rooted S4 I9505OXAAMDE, and supposedly the app wouldn't open on most devices, so I changed some device details in the build.prop file in the /system folder.
The only things I changed are these values:
ro.product.model=GT-I9505
ro.product.name=jfltexx
ro.product.device=jflte
to
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
I did this on the S4 with a text editor (after changing the system folder to being RW instead of RO), and then I rebooted my S4. It gets up to the point where it says "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505....", then goes to a black screen and just hangs there. At this point I can't do anything. I can't turn the phone off then on again with the power button, nothing shows up on the screen. The only response I can get is that the blue notification LED turns on for a bit after I press some buttons.
After that, I put the phone in recovery mode (using Phil's Touch Recovery mod, or something by that name), and tried to ADB pull the my backup build.prop (called build.prop.bak) from the system folder; adb tells me "remote object does not exist". I then tried pulling a copy i put in the /sdcard/ folder, and that worked. So I had the proper build.prop on my pc (with the i9505 settings), and i then pushed it to /system/build.prop. All should have been good at that point, but when I try to boot I get the same problem.
I then installed a recovery file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 and had a look around in that. According to it there were only 2 things in the /system/ folder; an empty folder called "bin" and the build.prop that I pushed there earlier. From what I remember when I originally edited the build.prop file, there were heaps of folders and files in /system/.
So it seems like something, for some reason deleted my /system/ folder Now I'm guessing I can just flash the stock firmware again (got that downloading now), but I don't want to lose all my apps and such. Is it possible to keep my old setup after flashing? (I don't plan on wiping/resetting anything during the flash)
I also read somewhere that maybe i have to mount/remount (i have no idea) the system folder, and then it might appear again, but I have no clue honestly.
Anything I can do? I really don't want to start with a completely fresh phone, I wanna keep my old setup.
Thanks
EDIT: I tried running "adb remount", and it says "remount failed: success" I don't know what that means, but I was hoping that the /system/ folder isn't lost, that it was just unmounted at some point and hidden in a different location.
Any ideas?

Yep, about to flash stock firmware now, out of options. I just hope it doesn't delete stuff.
Re flashing fixed it, and i didn't lose any files. Just a couple of messed up settings etc, easy to fix. Gotta re-root it though.

You better have an efs backup if youre gonna do more similar advnetures. Triangle Away doesn't work on S4 yet so Samsung wont fix the phone for you if you screw it up without major $$$.

You probably have to edit the file in /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from OFF to ON. This is on by default on the VZW S5 but might not be on yours.
