[Q] Disable system write protection - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a HTC One m8 International model running stock Rom lollipop. Is there a way to disable system write protection? Every time an app tries to write something in system, the phone reboots. I know about wp_mod but it is for android 4.4.4 and I don't know if it can be used on the stock Rom. Is there any solution to this? I don't want to flash a custom Rom just because of this...
Thank you in advance!

You can flash custom kernel like ElementalX for example, no need to install custom ROM

Does the kernel affect my daily usage in any way? If I want to go full stock, can I find the original kernel here , on xda?

No idea as I don't use custom kernel only own modded stock kernel.
You can make a backup of your stock kernel before you install the custom one.
If you go full stock for OTA purpose, you don't need to revert to stock kernel.

If you look through the thread for the wp_mod, it says that the mod is version specific (so a 5.0 ROM will need the corresponding 5.0 mod, the 4.4.4 one won't work). It also says near the end of that thread, you can pull the boot.img from a corresponding custom ROM (similar base) and flash it to your phone to disable write protection (the kernels from custom ROMs have the mod applied).

There is no such thing as a "random aosp rom".
If you really need help, please include as much specific information as you can as to what you want to achieve.
Good luck!
Well, I have a ROM on my m919 Samsung Galaxy s4 called "Google edition s4". Here's the link to the ROM development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
So, when I installed the ROM, it also installed an i9505 kernal and replaced it from the "SGH-M919" kernal.
What I want to do, (because of a number of reasons) is install the Cyanogenmod 10--i9505 kernal onto my Phone, (NOT THE ROM!) just the kernal from it (Through ODIN).
Can this be possible, or would this potentially mess up my phone, by installing a different ROM's kernal onto another ROM?

A Google Edition ROM in looks like pure AOSP, but in fact it's kernel is touchwiz, if you flash a as you refer "CM10 kernel" by what I assume you mean AOSP kernel, then you'd probably either brick or soft brick your phone. so...be careful!

Yeah, the first time I flashed a GPe ROM I mistakenly flashed an AOSP custom kernel. It'll just hang the phone on the SGS4 until a TW kernel is flashed.

So then, I should install my TW kernal.
More specifically on what I am doing...
I want to edit the drivers on (apparently a TW kernal) to where I can connect a Wireless adapter to use with Ubuntu chroot to do (what's in the picture). How do I edit the driver configuration on this kernal? (LINK)

[Q] ROM\Kernel Questions

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently rocking Wicked ROM v5 with SaberN3Kernel_10.7 on Android 4.3 and I have a few questions that I searched around for but couldn't find clear answers.
When I'm ready to upgrade to KitKat or whatever version is out by then, can I just use OTA update from T-Mobile or do I need to flash the stock ROM myself using ODIN?
If I ever wanted to flash a new custom ROM or a stock ROM would I still have Saber Kernel or would it get overwritten by whatever the new ROM came with?
Thanks In Advanced,
Art

1. If you are running g a custom ROM you will need to download the official version from sammobile.com and then flash using odin. The OTA does not work if using a custom ROM.
2. When you upgrade to 4.4 you will loose root and your kernel. It's just as easy to root 4.4 as it was 4.3. If you have a custom kernel and you flash a new ROM most of the time you are given a choice if you want to flash their kernel or not. If it does flash their kernel you can always reflash the one you want. Just as a side note, if you upgrade to 4.4 make sure your kernel is built for 4.4.

goi g from 4.1.2 to 4.4.4 aosp Rom

So I took a long break from flashing my phone. I just want to get a newer stock android Rom on the phone. Not touchwiz Rom. Do I just download and flash the Rom? Up to date bootloader just for touchwiz based Rom correct?
All I know is I have 4.1.2 now. I317m. It's rooted of course and some kind of custom Rom. It's been a loong time
If you go on Cyanogenmod's website they have a installer that is really easy
I don't have a computer access right now. Or very often at all.
Also if I go to a kitkat touchwiz Rom I just have to flash the proper kernel for wifi to work? Is this consistent across all Roms I'd be looking to flash?

[Q] urgent help needed for reverting the custom recovery to orignal samsung recovery

Hello Sir,
i have installed liquidsmooth lollipop 5.0 on Samsung sgh i747 but there are some problems in camera does not work so i want to change it but i don't want the custom rom.. I want the original one but unable to find it every link goes to some custom rom & i dont want them...i want the original one.........can i change the cynogenmod recovery to stock recovery.........
Reverting to stock recovery will not fix the camera problem.
What bootloader is on your phone? Don't flash anything until you confirm this because flashing the wrong ROM could brick your phone.

You'll have to be a bit more precise, what device do you have exactly? What bootloaders? And what was your exact flashing process?
Like Audit mentioned, it's not a recovery problem. Most likely flashed something that wasn't for your device or your device wasn't updated for (like bootloaders) but could also just be a problem with the ROM or a dirty flash.

Are you wanting a stock rom and stock recovery? Or, just the stock (original) recovery?
What you do depends on your answer to Audit13's question about your current bootloader and modem.
Lollipop ROMs as a group have had camera and video issues. Some third party camera apps have been working for two months. Following some CyanogenMod threads has had the stock camera intermittently working and then not working on subsequent updates for the past several weeks. Yesterday I read that the source of the problem was found in AOSP code. Supposedly camera issues will be fixed with the next update.

Installing custom ROM on D855

Hi,
Now I'm running stock v30c rooted by king root and hacer permissivo(one of the method available on xda). I've flashed twrp by autorec.
My question is:
Should I know something before flashing custom rom? I read somewhere that some of roms need v21c modem, and other have no information about it. But I'm not sure if I should flashing this.
Basically I'm thinking right now about custom stock based roms.
One more, I see that some roms supporting CTT(AFAIK it's something about keep the phone cooled, am I right?). Is it supported by every kernel? Including stock one?
I'm coming from G2 and there were quite easier with everything .
Thanks for every answer.

If you are planning to flash stock based roms you don't need to do anything else including flashing the baseband. Only aosp based roms need 21C baseband. So if you flash a aosp based rom remember to flash 21C along with it.
The ctt mod works on most kernels including stock but you don't necessarily need to use it until when you feel uncomfortable temperature.
