Root

As some may know, Poot is now unusable to root the device. After lots of time searching and looking, I have found out that baidu root works as a tool to root the device!
Pros:
Rooted Device!
Able to uninstall Google+ app! (Due to it being dead to consumers)
Able to install custom Kernel!
Able to install CWM! (which for some reason, does not work to flash zips due to /sdcard mount error)
Cons:
The whole thing is in chinese
SU Manager is also in chinese (Click the left option on su required apps to accept)

Steps:
1.Download APK here http://baiduroot.net/ (click download for mobile)
2.Launch the app and after it loads, click the banner under the device name
3.wait for it to root
4.Done! If you need to check if its rooted, click the banner again, if a app selection box offers you to share it via SMS and/or other services, you did it!

Some technicalities you should be aware of...

Every phone has at least 2 user profiles by default. There is your default user profile(you) with its own user id(UID). The uid is usually an identifying number like "10104" and name like "u0_a152". Then there's the root profile which you do not have access to by default. The root profile always has a uid number of zero "0".

When you root a phone, all you're doing is allowing yourself access to the root profile(uid 0) that already exists on your phone.

Here are some commands to better understand. You can run these on a non-rooted or rooted phone in an app called "terminal emulator". Just type the command and click the enter key on your keyboard.

These 3 commands only work on modern android versions.
List your uid name:

List your uid number:

List the uid number for the root user:

This command works on all android versions.
List all users and uids not including the root user:

The above is the underlying information of what root really is.

As for the rest of your questions...
Root is not available for all phone models.
No it's not illegal to root your device, but voids you warranty.
If there is no root for your device, there's nothing you can do to get it.

What was it updated to @NAVCUB? A new Android version or a Security update?

OT: if we get Android Q what snack starts with Q; quinces?

Where u from Bouti?
Never saw that word before.
I'm always learning.
Is it a name: Bouti?

Where can I get adb drivers from?

Depends on your device. If it's a Google device (Nexus/Pixel), go here:

Drivers for other manufacturers are available here:

I just found out that the pre-installed sms app is Google Messages
Thanks to you svim provoking me to find out what it is (never curious enough to know which app my sms has been with different phones). That's why I thought it was Moto E4's problem, for I have been using android phones thinking they being all the same.

I checked the google play store (thanks to you as well). I know which one I would like.

Thank you so very much for all your helps. You have been very thorough and helpful

in search of what?

no idea why. could be a glitch. have you rebooted the phone?

welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!!!

so always head on over to xda developers forumto look for anything root related.

here is your device forum there:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j

here is the rom and rooting subforum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j/development

here is a guide for rooting:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j/how-to/guide-samsung-j2-core-2018-sm-j260f-sm-t3959139

make sure to read, read, read, and then read some more before taking that plunge into rooting your device. also make sure your model number matches the guide as rooting is very device specific.

It pays to be careful when buying used phones, I once had a phone locked to Vodafone in the UK, which resisted the independents' attempts to unlock it. and Voda were no help. The issue of contract was irrelevant as it was a PAYG phone.

Hi all!

Today I present you my lullabies application.
I'm looking for your feedbacks, improvement suggestions and bug reports to continue making my apps better and better.

I suppose you should contact the provider to make it fixed. Probably it's because of the hardware or something that went wrong.

Aye, nobody needs to hack your phone to spoof your number when sending texts. They would need to know your contacts - there are various ways those could leak, but I'd check the security of your Google account anyway, probably change password too (you do have 2-factor authentication on, right? If not you need to do that right now).

Apparently you need only purchase a cheapo gel screen protector for your S10 off of Ebay and any finger print off of anyones finger can unlock your device.

Very handy for when you forget to take your fingers out on a day trip!!

is the sim card inserted properly? like i said you might want to ask your carrier.

Does Kotlin directly reference the objects? In Java, I have to use findViewById() to get the view object in order to change anything. I don't see anything like that in your code.

Also, your code is different for one of the sensors vs the other two shown:
- is this a Kotlin thing where the first reference is event!! and subsequent references are just event?

Maybe I should bow out in favor of someone more versed in Kotlin...

Alright, thank you!

I had good success with Lgsimunlock.com but heard not so good stuff either. Worked fine for me

samsungsimunlock.com worked well for me. Perhaps it can assist you too

Samsungsimunlock.com worked well for me. Give it a go.

I was pretty gentle, but clearly I broke something. This would have been the second battery swap, so possibly something was weakened the first time around (not done by me), and it finally gave up the ghost on my watch.

I'm going to take another look to see if anything is obviously broken, but I'm increasingly thinking this is a lost cause. I suppose there's a world in which I remove the NAND Flash and install it in another (working) phone, but that's above my pay grade.

My own phone is an antique Galaxy S5. Removable battery, and if this happened to me I'd just pop out the microSD and stick it in my PC. I may never get rid of the thing.
