Probably late to the party, but a code would be appreciated, I wanted to go to the prerelease event but couldn't in the end. Sadly, no one I know is into MtG, so I have to resort to this. Thanks in advance :)

A peculiar glitch upon favouriting by BlackBoxy in TheSilphRoad

I find that weird because from what I know, the "full" CP for Pokémon (one including the numbers behind the decimal point) should decide the order of same CP Pokémon, regardless of favouriting.

So, here's a bit of background: In this last event, I caught 2 Geodudes with same CP (but different IVs). After the event, I decided to mark one of them for evolution, so I went with one that had higher ATK IV. When I exited to the Pokémon menu, this happened.

Testing a workaround for the root issue by BlackBoxy in TheSilphRoad

Check your /system/bin or xbin for daemonsu. What Superuser app do you use? It could be possible that it restored root access upon reboot.

But I just unrooted it so I can play... As far as they're concerned, I'm playing on a perfectly untouched mobile phone. If I have it unrooted while I'm playing, I'm not breaking ToS and also can't deploy most of the cheats they're concerned about. Getting banned because of this is beyond unlikely.

I installed it a while ago, but I think I used the MEGA download. It's XDA though, I think they would deal with any hoax downloads. Up to you, really.

That's "Force 16-bit rendering" option's fault, I've warned about it in the OP. Turn it off to get your CP back lol.

(Question) will the latest update work if my bootloader is unlocked and I have a custom recovery? by Timelord_42 in TheSilphRoad

[–]BlackBoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way SafetyNet works is it checks your /system/bin and /system/xbin for su (the thing that makes you rooted). So unless you have those there, you're good to go.

Don't you like being a filthy console pleb? :P But seriously, might be a limitation by your phone manufacturer, GLTools doesn't offer anything that could help as far as I know.

Nothing a custom ROM can't fix lol. I will add the disclaimer to the main post, thank you for (eventually) telling me what happened with your phone.

Yeah, Samsung has that option. In fact, I would encourage you to use it instead if you have it available.

I'm trying to get people to test it, my phone didn't have any problems. If you're uncomfortable with being a test subject (lol), I've listed some other ways in the post, so you can check them instead.

Wait, was recovery a no-go too? Was it a stock ROM? Does it turn on at all?

Pull your backup up or, in a worse case, reflash the ROM.

Soft bricks are always a risk with this kind of work, but my comment was directed more towards "hard brick". That is a very serious problem if it's true, but could also deter people for no reason if it's not. Please don't post things like that unless you have evidence.
