The SRT appscanner says that I have two bugs: bug 8219321 (secure) and bug 9695860 (vulnerable).

Follow these directions then:

(Make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your device)
Hope this helps.

For some reason, even though I activate the USB debug option, snappea doesn't recognize my smarphone.

Since you do have a samsung, you should be able to just install Samsung drivers, if nothing else you can also install Kies, it will also install all the sammy drivers you need.

[Q] Noob in using SGP5.0 and TuchWiz says "Y U NO install What'sApp!"

Hello everyone, I just got my SGP 5.0
I would say I like it but not that bad device! so so but for the money it is great device! anyway this thread is not about my opinion, I was surfing Play Store and I just noticed some apps that says "This app is incompatible with your Samsung YP-G70" !!!!!
The most important app is "What'sApp" I know that this app doesn't support tablets but I've heard that I can install it on my SGP 5.0
so please tell me how do I do this
Any replies are welcome and appreciated
Thanks
Additional: My YP-G70 is not rooted! Should I root it to use your methods espicially the one that says change the device id to galaxy s ??
Follow the steps on the following site: http://codeimba.com/2012/03/09/real-apk-leecher-the-easiest-way-to-download-android-apk-file/
Once you get the APK file, transfer it to the Player and install it. Just make sure you have enabled "Install from unknown sources" on Settings.
I hope it helps.
Note: you CANNOT download paid apps, only free ones with this application.
Sent from my YP-G70
Well, did you use this method and works fine! if I get a device ID it won't say "This app is incompatible with your Samsung YP-G70" ???
This is crap. Nothing works with me!
Don't despair. I'll look for more options and I'll let you know.
Btw, this method works for me, maybe I'll send you the APK tonight.

Please just go into your build.prop and change the device ID to a Samsung Galaxy S.
That's literally all you need to do to make it compatible with a LOT more apps. Search for the forums for how to do so (because I don't remember the link).

guys, moto xt303 is the same as xt305. no ways to unlock at the moment. xt303/305 has no bootloader mode, just restore mode, right? using adb commands i can only read the cellphone, no permission to write.

There is an app that allows you to deactivate root for a certain time if I remember well, whereas can't remember the name of it at the moment.

Can someone confirm this adapted version still works with a rooted phone ? I need at least to be able to record programs in the TV guide, as I use this a lot. This is the only thing preventing me from rooting my phone (SGS 4)

Hello
I'm still using the app now. It works on my galaxy s4 but you can't load the tv guide. Watching tv works. You can record a program if you are watching the program and you push record now.

No sadly it says tv overall has stoped. It would be needs if someone find a solution for that. Because I want to use it to.
Can someone with a rooted phone test this method ? Sorry, it's in Dutch.
Thanks

Hello
I've tested it out on different versions. It's always the same problem. You can see tv but you can't go to the tv guide. It's loading and than it says application has stoped. What i do now is using an older version. Version 2.6.1. With this version you can see the tv guide and record programs on your decoder.
With the newest version the xprivacy is not working. You still have the rooting message. I think you have something in the tv guide when you open it , that it also checks root. I really hope that someone can find a good solution for this problem.

Latest version + fixed tvguide and no root check
Hi all,
The latest full working version is here (tvguide and other bugs are also fixed):

PS: if someone can mirror this to something faster please do so..

Xposed Installer with module Rootcloak works also. First you have to add the TV overal application in the rootcloak list.
Tsested on SGS4 with Omega Rom.

Need some help from Nexus 9 users

Hello All,
I've heard reports that some rooted users are unable to download my application (Google Play stating that their device isn't compatible)
Can someone with a NON-rooted tablet go to the play store and see if they can install the Busybox application done by me?
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
Does it state that it is incompatible?
I have installed the app, but says that my device is not supported.
I have not root
Can you take a screenshot of the message that you get?

How capture an ota link on rooted phone without PC

Hello guys I don't know how to capture an ota URL without PC
I've googled in and around but there are only PC methods
So,any one knows how to capture an ota link on rooted phone can reply here!
Waiting for reply!
Rush........
try catlog or alogcat, both are available on playstore
It's typically found in /cache or /cache/fota, but pretty sure it is different for different phones. You could try this too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otasnatcher&hl=en though it seems to have worked for some and not others.
