[WIP][4.4.4] Emulated Android ROOT and unlock

I am not responsable of any damage in your phone​Hi i have create this aow.wim images with ROOT bin and uncheked not to used BT and GSM in android apps but I cant copy it so system32/aow.wim
Can someone test it and put how to copy the image to pohne and most important if it works and if it is rooted you need to install SuperSU or others apps but bins are there...
Install route WINDOWS/System32/aow
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n68tle0kzd29b3e/aow.wim
For now i am tired of thinking i will try next day if i got time for it to copy to phone and try iif it works

This most likely won't work. The aow.wim on the system has extra headers that have Android-specific metadata attached to it. I see that you most likely just copied the contents out of it and then created a NEW wim, as it's impossible to commit changes to the aow.wim that comes with the update due to it complaining about WIMBoot.

I not 100% sure if i'm correct in saying this but I don't think there is actually any method of putting the new aow.wim into the AOW folder, as using MTP or the built in file explorer either returns Permission error on unknown error respectively and @snickler has found that you cannot write to that directory using his SFTP method.
Plus @ADeltaX has managed to get root 2/3 working but project astoria doesnt allow two apps to overlay each so you cannot grant root access as there is no superSU pop-up. So he is working on modding superSU.

Just turn off "Protection against false touches" or smth like that in SuperSU (Settings)

[SOLVED] I Rooted Device, But I Can't Edit System Files?

Hi friends;
I have HTC M8 Marshmallow with Sense 7.
I rooted my device with SuperSU 2.65.
But;
I can't edit build.prob file in system folder.
I can't put apk and lib files to system->priv-app folder.
In fact ;
I edited build.prob file in system folder. (I used Root Explorer)
I put apk and lib files to system->priv-app folder.
But, after I rebooted device edited build.prob file returned original and
deleted apk and lib file that I put to system->priv-app folder.
Before these applications I mounted system folder R/W
Why did this happen?
How can i solve this?

Because super su is system less root, you won't be able to edit the system files. I don't even know how that mod worked

You can't edit system files while your device s-on,you need wp module or custom kernel with wp module to edit system
Some m8 roms have this module implemented ( if not all roms )

You've got it wrong. Systemless root isn't the reason system is not writable. The same will occur with traditional root.
The system is write protected on this device (regardless of root method). You need the kernel mode to disable the write protection.

No, it won't work. Kernels (and therefore kernel mods) are device specific. It won't work, and may harm your phone.
If the phone is rooted, you can try to mount system in a file explorer app, and apply the desired changes, to see if they stick (survive a reboot). Some folks have had success with that approach.
Be careful, and backup files accordingly. Or otherwise know how to return to stock, if anything goes wrong. Changes to system under root can result in unpredicted problems.
Further than that, I probably can't help; as I have no specific knowledge of your device.

Oreo + Viper4Android

How do I properly install Viper 4 Android App on Oreo. On Nougat you had to rename "audio_effects.conf" in /vendor/etc to "audio_effects.conf.bak" and then flash Viper4Android in recovery.
On Oreo, the "Install Drivers" screen always reappears even after reboot... I tried different versions and busybox by stericson (pro and free version) nothing seems to work...

Don't rename that file dude... just copy, and paste it somewhere and in original file "/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf" you should insert these lines:
Under libraries sections:
v4a_fx {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
}
Under effects sections:
v4a_standard_fx {
library v4a_fx
uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b
}
Of course busybox is required, but i know that you have it, and... Selinux as far as i know must be set to permissive.

Thanks for your helping advice... I added those two lines, but i still get this message.. (selinux set to permissive), so still not working :/

Do you have this file in path /system/lib/soundfx/?
File name is libv4a_fx_ics.so
If not, then try to copy this file there and set permissions rw- r-- r--
If there will be that file, or it will not solve the problem, you should have in system/etc files named audio_effect.conf and htc_audio_effect.conf, try to add these lines from my previous post.

File is there as you can see in the screenshots, I added your lines to htc_audio_effects.conf but I still have to install drivers all over again after reboot ...

First of all, I'm using LeeDroid 5.0.0 SVN123 with Magisk v15.3...
I flashed this on Magisk Manager under Modules by adding module...
After Magisk Installed the module, I rebooted, and by using ES File Explorer, I got root permissions and mounted /system RW...
I got into /system/etc and opened HTC_audio_effect.conf file and added this under Library section
v4a_fx {
path /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then added this to Effects section...

}

I saved file and then rebooted...
Maybe you can copy & paste these codes in audio_effects.conf file...

Ok, I'm not using magisk, but SuperSU by Chainfire... However I added those lines but it doesn't work

I think this is my problem. There is no soundfx folder under my /system/lib and therefore adding those lines didn't do anything on mine

Holy moly... On oreo i don't have soundfx too in that path xD BUT! i have /system/vendor/lib/soundfx maybe there?

The directory is there. But libv4a_fx_ics.so is nowhere to be found.
I used the Magisk l method with ShadySquirrel's module. It shows active. But I can't get the driver to install. It says it was successful and to reboot. But when I reboot the process starts all over again.

Another way is trying to flash it in recovery, then i get i/o error:

Then I installed this on top but again, i/o error

fix: (still asks to install drivers after each reboot)

I found it but i see that is "system" mode installation.
I will try to search how to do it with magisk.

Tested this exact method and I did not see success. Driver cannot install.
Tried renaming both configuration files to htc_audio_effects.conf.bak and audio_effects.conf.bak. no difference in results
Still not sure what else I can try. Magisk module appears active. I don't think the lib file is flashing properly. Then again I don't know where it should go either..

Rom Access or advice for TAB S4

My device was fine before Rooting importantly the Bluetooth stack was was also fine. However, after rooting all BT Pairings are lost across reboots etc. Just turning BT off then on again causes the issue making it necessary to delete and re-pair every time the device starts. over the last week i've ran various tests, and concluded the issue lies with either the hardware or the stock image i got from Sammobile.com. Being a noob, during my experimentation i have had to flashback to the stock image on several occasions. Only discovering the Bluetooth issue when putting my work to good use and using the device.
Yesterday i tested the theory. Flashed it to stock, booted to OS and skipped all the config disabled WI-FI and DATA so it couldn't pull updates. Tested Bluetooth and the issue is present. The Bluetooth did work correctly before i started rooting it. This is unlikely a hardware issue so can only assume its an issue in the build i have from Sammobile. If any of you have access to a stock pre-installed rom that works that they could give me access to, so i can do some testing or indeed any advice it would be very much appreciated.
Device = Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T835 on EE)
PDA = T835XXU2ARJ3
CSC = T835OXM2ARJ3
Many thanks

This is known issue once rooted, however it has already been fixed. There is a module that you need to load via Magisk. Search for: libsecure_storage companion for rooted Samsung devices. Load that up and you'll be good to go.

thanks for the info, i saw a few threads a few days ago about secure storage and did it manually which didn't help with the issue. similarly neither does the module for Majisk . a case of keep looking i guess. any other suggestions will be very much appreciated

Hmm, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling again via Magisk to confirm. I have rebooted multiple times and the bluetooth pairings stick for me. I do have T830 vs. the T835 that you have but I wouldn't think that it should matter. Worth another shot anyway.

Cheers will give it a go - at this point i have nothing to lose, just taken a fresh backup so nothing ventured nothing gained

its stuck no boot while removing secure_storrage module from majisk
Oddly having tried the suggestion above of removing the majisk module the device no longer boots it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. For some reason the vendor partition is no longer able to mount.. Completed a restore eventually to get it to boot. Disabling the module yields the same result. no vendor partition and no boot. Going back to an earlier backup prior to the module being installed

The plot thickens
Today i'm still trying to find a fix for disappearing Bluetooth devices. Using the Magisc module cases my Tab to stall during boot on the Samsung logo similarly trying to replace the /vendor/lib and /vendor/lib64 binaries manually also causes the system to freeze on the Samsung logo. looking at the binaries and some path file references there in. It would appear as though my tablet is missing some key files or folder so far the following are missing
/data/system/secure_storage/ls_data.db
/dev/.ashem.secure_storage_ashem
/dev/.secure_storage/sd_socket.ro
any of you have any thoughts

You actually only need to replace the libsecure_storage.so libs and set the correct permissions.
Add the following to the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=false

No matter how i do this, the device failes to boot and gets stuck on the samsung logo.
Install the majsik module through majisk reoot when prompted = device brick
making all the changes manually including the changes to the build.prop in the /vendor partition = device brick on reboot.
Tried Using instructions and librarys from the following post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa.../guide-fix-bluetooth-losing-pairings-t3798262
Although, the above post says to replaces the libs in the system folder which serves no purpose but replacing them in the vendor partition causes the device to brick at next boot.
Thanks far the suggestions, Still looking

Thanks for the assist
It occurs only when the Libs are changed.
Originally using the majsic module to install the libs it couldn't overwrite the files as they are in use. modifying the build.prop seemed to resolve that but as soon as those libs are change either manually through terminal or via the installer i end up with a soft brick LOL
its Bugging me!!!

Interestingly
Once the device hangs.
Simply restoring the vendor partition doesn't fix the boot issue.
In order to get the device to boot I have to restore /data (you don't need to restore /vendor just /data)
oddly restoring the /data partition restores the 2 library files in /vendor to their respective originals

Majisk zip extraction issue
so I have resolved the Bluetooth issue, Rather having majisk install the module i just downloaded it and extracted the contents and discovered that upon zip extraction the contents of each file were appended to themselves. see screenshot "confused.jpg" of the readme.md - so in relation to the library files, the files being installed were double in size hence corrupt.
ie /vendor/lib/secure_storage.so should =308kb the file being insatalled in my /vendor/lib partition was 616kb the 64 bit library was also double the size it should have been.
infarct all the files within the Zip had the same issue.
so i extracted the Zip contents on my pc and transferred the library files via usb. made the relevant changes to build.prop and stopped the secure_storage deamon. Machine now boots and Bluetooth pairings are retained across reboots.
Small Wins
Any one have a clue why the files would double up on content??????

built in zip extractor
the issue i have is with the stock zip extraction tool.
extracting the zip file content on the tablet with winzip. the files are as they should be

[ROOT]Stock and Magisk patched boot images

Until TWRP is available for this device, root must be done by flashing patched boot image via fastboot. I'm still in the waiting period for the bootloader unlocking, but I prepared files in the meantime. Maybe someone will find them useful. Attached are stock boot and patched image with Magisk 21.1, EEA ROM version. Just unzip them and flash from fastboot.
Full version: V12.0.6.0.QJSEUXM_20201117
Edit: patched boot image reuploaded, the previous one didn't work (at least on my phone). This one has been tested and is working fine.

hello,
having the EEA version 12.0.6.0, as a boot patch can I immediately give the modded boot, in fastboot?

You can flash patched boot image directly, or just hotboot it (fastboot boot patched_image.img) and install Magisk from Magisk manager.

hello,
I did and at the moment everything is ok.

Which files on which partition with what kind of permissions? RO partitions must be remounted as RW, but it's not always possible and using Magisk is usually a better and safer approach.

I keep my system partition RO so I can apply OTA updates, so I haven't tried it. You could try another app (for example Total commander), but you will be probably out of luck because of Android 10 limitation. Read more detailed explanation here https://android.stackexchange.com/q...m-partition-locked-to-read-only-in-android-10
I would suggest using Magisk module for system modifications.

hi
i tried other app manager like root explorer and es explorer, but the result is the same. i also installed magiskhideprops module, but my phone is not supported as fingerprint yet
