nFAQ
n00b frequently asked questions
1. wifi not working??
a. so this is the frequently asked question....you will mostly get an error "obtaining ip address" this is a glitch in the ROM so to fix this you have to go to the network settings/wifi settings then in the wifi settings press the down volume button a menu will come up tap on advanced then enable the check on static ip and then fill out all the fields down below thats it now go back by pressing the end call button and then turn off the wifi and turn it on back again thats it your wifi works
2. market error ....apps do not install ?
a. that is surely a CHMOD error now what you have to do is start Ubuntu open a terminal ..in the first field type "cd /media" and hit enter
then "ls" and hit enter (it is a small L and not an I)
then type "cd your ext2 partition name" and hit enter then
type "chmod -R 0777 ./*"
and after this type "sudo sync"
and then unmount the drives by going into "Computer" and press the eject button on the left side panel
lets get started
first you have to have XXJL2 or XXJK1
in windows open multiloader 5.62 click full download
and then choose the bootfiles and the fota file (link given)
enter the download mode on your phone by turning off the phone completely and then pressing the volume down button+hold button+the power button after entering the download mode connect the phone through the usb cable and then clicking port search on the multiloader and then clicking download
after the process is done the the wave will reboot into bada successfully if it does not boot in bada successfully it means you have done something.....so do it correctly
then collect all your android data in a folder and put it somewhere ............ so it can be accessible by ubuntu
then take your phone format your memory card in bada
login as a ubuntu root user
pm me if you want to know how to login as root user
then open gparted partition utility in ubuntu browse to your memory card in gparted delete the fat partition on the memory card and assuming you have a 2gb card make 2 partitions first should be a fat16 partition of 1100 mb and the second partition should be ext3 of 900 mb .
remember to give a name to ext3 partition ...the only reason is that it solves alot of problems
then open badadroid.tgz file in archive manager and then in the file open filesystem.tgz and then open the contents on filesystem folder in the archive manager and then select all the folders and extract all of the contents to the ext3 partition through the archive manager not manually!!!
then after it is done copy the keypad file and paste it into ext3/sytem/usr/keyalyout/
overwrite the existing file
(optional steps:- if you want other customization files download the zip from this;-)
after this
go to your wave internel memory make a new folder "galaxyboot"
and then copy the sbl.bin and the zImage to the folder
after you have done all this
open a terminal first type
"cd(space)/media" then
"ls" it is small L not and I then
"cd(space)your ext3 partition name"
then "chmod -R 0777 ./* "
then after the mod type "sudo sync"
after all this unmount the partitions
dont unplug the cable
just turn it off with the cable connected
after the phone is switched off
after all this process you might notice that the phone is heated up to fix this take out the battery and let the phone cool for 5 mins and then insert the battery close the cover
and press the end call key and after a minisecond press the call key
after you see a messed up screen with green line
let go off the buttons
the first boot might take around 20 mins for slower cards like class 2 or some class 4 cards and 10 mins for faster cards!
and voila ANDROID ON YOUR PHONE
tips and fixes for glitches
1. buggy lockscreen?
a. go to security settings aplly the pattern lock and you will get fast lockscreen
2. Wavealaxy in idle shuts down
a. download "load monitor from app market open preferences go to preferences
Click "Add Notification", "Only Notify high load", "Auto Start"
and "Wake Lock"
and then click the home button voila it does not shutdown
guys how do you like the new phone name
Samsung Wavealaxy S8900
nice tutorial
help ubuntu cannot recognise my wave. it says my device is busy
is there something new to the files or is it just the one from 22-6?
@abd28xd
Don't go with FAT16. FAT32 is the way to go. Also EXT 3 works better and faster for me than EXT 2. otherwise nice tutorial. fix hese points so I can point a herd of Noobs to graze over here!!
abd btw, where is the link for TouchWiz 4.0 launcher?
what's the status of camera driver for photo/video?
welll i am uploading all the customization files on mediafire they will be ready in 5 minutes !
and here is the way you install it
boot bada
start ubuntu
then copy touchwiz 4 apk file to system/app/
overwrite the existing file! =)
and no updtates on camera files i think they will be a top priority after the fix of modem and sensors!!

Euhmm. Firstly. my tutorial is not complicated. It's an step-by-step tutorial.
Yours is confusing due to no proper text structure so not easy to read.
Secondly I saw your reply in my thread. I understand you try to help but ask me if i want or need help before posting. And as i promised i updated the tut. It's still monday so...
Hey abd28xd,
thx for your answer and work.
i got this firmware http://www.badapps.ru/376-bada-12.html mainly because it got flac support.
It's a mix of S8500XXJH3 (S8500OXEJH2) (SEB) and S8500XXJK1 (CSC from JL2) maybe someone tried it before and know if this combo works..it's not worth to brick my phone at this stage...

Yes you do not need to switch phone off or be in flash mode.Just tick in phone settings via pull down status bar Unknown sources and usb debugging and follow instructions above when finished reboot phone you should have a home screen
I dont know how many other people out there use androids built in vpn, but i hate the fact that you are required to use a security screen (pattern, pin, password) to do so. I have found a way to bypass this if you are rooted. This has only been tested on the stock kk rooted ota. However i would think it is the same on almost any stock based rom.
This assumes you already have your vpn and a security screen setup and working.
Go to the market and download a root capable data base (db) editor. I use SQLite Editor which is a paid app, but im sure there are free ones too.
Open the db editor. SQLite Editor sorts it by the app (in this case Android System) the data base is associated with, others may not work this way and may require you to navigate to the db file directly (/data/system/locksettings.db).
Open locksettings.db and select the locksettings directory. Look for the line that says "lockscreen.password_type". Under the value colum it will show some random number. Select the line and edit the value to be 0 (zero). Save if required by your db app, and restart your phone.
When it reboots you should no longer have a security lock screen only the swipe up screen. When you go to settings - more - vpn, it will still say you need to setup a security lock. Hit CANCEL, and it will show you your list of setup vpn's. Select one and connect. Boom working vpn with no pattern, pin, password screen required.
To undo this just go to settings - security - screenlock, and setup a new lock pattern, pin, or password.
You can also disable the swipe up lock screen by editing the "lockscreen.disabled" value in the locksettings.db to be a 1 instead of a 0.
good write up, thank you sir.
Where did you get stock kk rooted?
Sent from my HTC One
I was already unlocked and s-off, so i ruu'd took the kk ota and then rooted it. But i believe santod has his thread in development where you can download the stock rooted kk rom.
an alternative method
An add-on alternative update for relevancy. Using Samsung Note 3 4.3 MJ7 stock rooted.
Firstly, thanks OP for a nice clear guide for all on how to do this theoretically.
This is an alternative for those who aren't able to purchase SQLite Editor:
1. get a good freeware SQLite editor like for example SQLite Studio @ w w w sqlitestudio.pl
2. copy following files from your phone to the PC using some form of file explorer or whatever methods you can think of
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
3. open up the editor, load the locksettings.db and modify like what OP has mentioned
4. you will notice that the new saved DB is going to be a single file instead so just replace this file back into your phone and delete the OTHER files
5. reboot and done.
:highfive:
Alternative method
found it on another forum
The process does not require rooting its more like a bug
worked on my i9300 with 4.3 firmware
1. Add a VPN
2. Lock the device with a pin
3. Enter the pin wrong 5 times
4. Press OK to the message that pops up
5 Press Forgot Pin
6. Sign into your Google Account
7. Select pin lock
8. Press cancel.
and now u got unlocked screen with working vpns
the method works, but after I reboot, when I enter VPN screen is aks me for "password for credential storage"... how can I solve? thanks in advance

worked for me initially on samsung mega (jellybean), but after reboot i'm getting the 'enter password for creditial storage' issue and pressing cancel doesn't solve it.
is there any other solution?
In 4.4 there is no such file

/data/system/locksettings.db
.. any ideas?

Try a different file manager.
It failed like that for me with ES File Explorer,
but worked when I used SM File Browser.

What I do here: just type something.. anything, doesn't matter. At least one character.
Then on the next screen, where it asks to set up a lockscreen, just Cancel.
This seems to be necessary once per boot -- any password, different time or the same, works.
After that it lands me on the VPN manager screen, all functional.
Well I kind of messed up. I tried to open with SQLite but it would give me an error 14. So i decided to try to open just like that using ES Explorer and edit it like regular note(SQL is totally different I had no idea). Anyways i didnt edit anything but now i cant set a pin or any type of security on my phone. When i try to set up a pin it still shows a swipe and when i try again my Note 3 freezes and get an error message saying settings stopped responding.
Any idea on how to fix this? Im rooted and im running the latest firmware 4.4.2 if that helps.

You're going to have to wait for quite sometime. Firstly Mediatek is something new for Sony. Previously it was Qualcomm so the steps are more or less the same. Secondly this is a mid range phone by Sony so there won't be much waves about this phone because most people will be getting Z5.
But nonetheless i think this phone is pretty decent that's why i get M5 instead of Z5.
So we got to be patient. Very very patient.

I download the software(rootmaster) ,but it not work . I tryed many times....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/general/unlock-bootloader-t3220927
Unlock bootloader is now possible.
Did anybody, other then the poster have success with this rootmaster?
And does this require the boot loader to be unlocked?
Doing a Google search for MT6795 (our chipset) shows that Mediatek has at some point released the sources of the kernel and baseband, but all the links to their github are dead.
If we can find someone who has pulled these sources before they were taken off and a developer who knows how to put them to use we might get custom recoveries, root and custom ROMs.

I found this , is it what you were looking for?
Unfortunately I found some other info saying it e wasn't actually released but leaked. Which explains why it has been taken off again. These posts also said that those sources were incomplete and only applies to a xiuomi (or something like that) model and not to other phones.
And on top of that I am not a developer so I can't do anything with the sources myself. I just read the blogs and these sources seem to be the reason why we still don't have root.
So maybe a developer could have a look at the sources you found and verify if they are real and complete. If they are this might get us one step closer to open development for our device.

I did but it doesn't support our device. I put in a research request, but there aren't enough for them to research or device.
More requests might help, but I don't know how many they need.

Kingroot can successfully root our device, but it requires a couple of tries. I had to run it 5 times before it was successful.
Hello, XDA! Today, I'll be showing you how to get unlimited skips/song select in Spotify on the OnePlus 5.
Code:
/*
If you are rooted or you have adb enabled and installed
on your computer, skip to the bold section of this post.
If you don't have this done or you don't know how to
do this, read the whole post.
*/
This will require root (root guide for OnePlus 5 here, I recommend using Magisk and not SuperSU.) or ADB.
To enable ADB, just scroll down in Settings to About phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and press Build Number 7 times; this will activate Developer Mode. Go back to the main page in Settings, Developer Mode is near the bottom. From Developer options, you can activate USB debugging (which is ADB). You can download Android SDK Platform-Tools from here. Extract the .zip, go into the folder named platform-tools, and open CMD or Terminal (CMD for Windows, Terminal for Mac/Linux) and drag ADB into the CMD/Terminal to run ADB.
Code:
adb shell
would be
Code:
(drag adb file here) shell
but would show up as something like
Code:
/Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools/adb shell
Once you have rooted or enabled ADB, you can download a new app called jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] from the Play Store. jOnePlus is a modding application for the OxygenOS 4.5.x.
When you open jOnePlus Tools, it will ask for SuperUser Rights (if you are rooted). Select Grant to allow it to 'change' the system. It will then bring up a message that says Permission Denied and it will tell you to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS by running
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
over USB. You can either connect your phone to your computer over USB and enable USB Debugging and run
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
on the computer. If you are rooted, you can skip the whole ADB step; just press GRANT WITH ROOT.
Once you've enabled permissions with adb or root, press the gear icon near the top right, press General, and then Enable experimental features. Go back to the main screen of jOnePlus Tools and press the square-circle shape near the top-middle of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and press 4k (2160x3840). It will lag a bit for about 20 seconds at most. Close Spotify if open. Now launch Spotify. (If your home screen appears to be messed up or corrupted, DON'T FRET! It may be confused because your device is telling it a different resolution. This is temporary.) If you can't click on home screen icons correctly, you can hold the home button to launch Google Assistant and say Open Spotify. When you launch Spotify, it should allow you to have unlimited skips/song select. This is because your Spotify sees your screen size as 2160x3840, a tablet size. The tablet version of Spotify has unlimited song select and skips. Spotify only checks your screen size when it launches, so you can go back to jOnePlus Tools and put you resolution back at Full HD (1080x1920) Default. If you close Spotify, you may need to change your resolution back to 4k again before launching if you want unlimited skips/select (and then back to Full HD Default after launching).

Is there any way to use Spotify in countries where it's not available without VPN ? I'm rooted if it helps

Pretty much yeah, you need a VPN only to register an account (and pay for the premium package).

You don't have to get premium, just register the account with a VPN and every month log in to that account from an IP where Spotify is available (it resets the 30day limit for free users)
