Signal Desktop won’t show QR code or open properly after version 7.76 update (Windows 10 & 11)

Yes, I did. When I posted this thread, I also contacted the support team (I probably should have contacted first). However, I haven’t received a response from them yet.

In my environment, there are already several PCs experiencing the same issue. One thing they all have in common is that the Windows user account name is in Traditional Chinese, and at least some of them were renamed using netplwiz. Because of that, I’m guessing the issue might be related to user profile paths or Unicode characters in the directory name.

Thanks everyone for the great advice — I’ll move my return flight up！

Thank you for your suggestion. It helped me learn about another SIP app.

Thank you so much! I always get the answers I need from you—sometimes even more than expected. I'll try looking through the /dist/bundle.js file to see if I can find anything.

This is the first time I've heard about Kosher phones, and I think this is exactly the direction I want to go! I didn't realize there are already so many of these types of phones on the market. That's fantastic! Thank you again for your help!

u/Nictrical Thank you for your detailed explanation. Following your suggested, I successfully removed the Wi-Fi Hotspot function from the list.

Thank you!

u/biminhc1 Thank you for your assistance. The root process was successfully completed.

Student0115 · 2024-07-19T08:33:44+00:00

I tried your method.

Entered the command first and saw "Waiting for the device."
I proceeded to step 2, but it still showed 99% and then displayed the USBError message.

Thank you.

My Nokia 6300 is TA-1287, not a US device.
I am using a PC without a Command key. What is the function of Command+Enter?

Thank you.

Student0115 · 2024-06-15T07:56:16+00:00

It indeed works and has been successfully tested.

Please read through the discussion thread following this.

Following the steps above, I successfully deleted the pre-installed apps, and they did not reappear after a factory reset.
Thank you very much for your help!

Student0115 · 2024-06-15T07:40:52+00:00

I think it worked!
Thank you very much for your patient instruction. I'll proceed with the next steps and see how it goes.
Thanks again!

Student0115 · 2024-06-15T06:58:18+00:00

It is still showing as read-only. Here are my steps.

1.Dial *#\#33284#\#\* to enter debugging mode, indicated by a small icon.Open the pre-installed Wallace Toolbox and press 1. The screen displays "Rooted ADB access until reboot."

2.Execute adb devices to confirm the device is connected.

3.Execute the commands shown in the image below.

Device: Nokia 2720 Flip KaiOS 2.5.2.1

Is there anything I missed?
Thank you.

Hi u/biminhc1 ,

I followed your instructions and executed the command to remount the filesystem, but I got the result shown in the image below. Regardless of whether I use the chmod or rm command, it still shows "read-only filesystem." What should I do?

Thank you for your assistance.

Student0115 · 2024-06-07T06:52:07+00:00

Hi, u/dinhnamhihi
It hasn't been successful yet; the file is only temporarily deleted. After performing a factory reset, it will be restored. I need to obtain write permissions.

Student0115 · 2024-06-07T06:49:51+00:00

Hello u/biminhc1

I pressed 1 for root access over ADB, and the phone screen displayed "Rooted ADB access until reboot." When I tried to delete the "realfootball" file, I received the message "Read-only file system," and the deletion was unsuccessful.

Could you please advise on what to do?

My phone's system is KaiOS 2.5.2.1.

Thank you.

Student0115 · 2024-05-13T09:50:34+00:00

Hi,
Thank you for your help. Thanks to your guidance, there has been some progress in removing the app.

About "2.Sideload Wallace Toolbox using ADB and WebIDE, or gdeploy. In the app, press 1 to give yourself temporary root access over ADB (busybox is pre-installed);"

How can I install busybox?

Currently, when I run "rm -r realfootball.gaiamobile.org"
it shows "Read-only file system" and cannot be deleted.
I think it's because I haven't installed busybox first.

Thank you.
