So you have a ton of data and don't want to factory reset. Then use this tool.
This is a screenshot of a good run..

<MOD EDIT>

this is reserved for my marriage proposal to you if this works

It works i've done it 100 + time's lol

Tool is live, it only works for the VS910 software. Please DO NOT attempt to use it on just any phones.

If you use this tool can you please leave feed back thanks.

Fixed! It was amazingly fast, and I am now out of test mode! I can mount usb to my computer now, and the long-press # menu is gone. Woohoo!!

wow
that was very quick...how long did u have this up your sleeves? you pretty muched saved me from getting another phone because i wire tether alot and test mode prevented me from ever connecting to the computer

I've known sense day one haha sad I know but I dont really visit the revolution forum. The whole reason I did was from the front page.

Please post with your results. There have been well over 100 downloads and it would be great if at lest 10% of you posted your results for others to see.
Any issues your having etc this way I can start seeing the success rate thanks.

Oh. MY. GOD.
It really works!!
My girlfriend's phone was always stuck in test mode even if i flash new tot.
Thank you so much!! You are my hero!

Thanks for your feedback. The more people who leave feed back the better. This way we can see if its working across all phones. I'm 100% sure it should but you never know.

No luck for me. I tried it on windows XP (with .NET framework 4 installed) and the program just crashes every time I try to run it. The microsoft "send error report" dialog appears but the application never starts up all the way.
Are there any other prerequisites other than .NET 4?

I'm an idiot and built with client profile. So install dotNet 4 Client version.
The new version is dotnet 3.5 none client and will support MS910 Esteem from MetroPCS
The only issue is the report of who needed this came from androidforums and sense i'm not a fan of them for banning me for misleading staff.. I'm not sure i'm going to post it just yet. I really only want this for xda members and might have to come up with a method that will require them to be an XDA member.

I did just try this again on windows 7 (not my computer so I'm unsure about the software on it) and it worked perfectly! I'm now out of test mode! Thanks!

Great thanks.
Mannn121, doesn't have a enough post count but was very nice to pm about his success as well. Seems like a very good success rate so far.

wolfpack99, doesn't have enough post count but reported success thanks again guys.
Vote for front page

Works for the LG MS910, used it multiple times for customers! Your a life saver!!! extremely simple

is the link down?

I did notice one negative side effect... either that or I've forgotten the sequence to enter that "hidden menu".
Entering ##lgservicemenu doesn't seem to work anymore after running the fix... It's not a big deal but worth mentioning...
Is there another way to access it?

I'm having a problem. After about 100 times of reconnecting the usb cord, I finally get the computer to recognize the ports in device manager and reveal which one is the revo, when I open the program, it quickly states in red that my phone isn't a revo and auto closes....any ideas?

[Q] Screen busted, need to recover baby pictures

Someone please help. Phone screen is busted and i need to recover pictures from the phone. It wasn't backed up and adb is not enable, neither is bootlader. Am i screwed?

Are you using twrp? Does adb work for you in twrp? If so you can just use adb pull /location/of/DCIM and pull them.

If your phone isn't secure it should show up on PC, at least I think so. Can you tell if its powering on?

Its powering on. No custom recover. Swipe pattern for lock

If its powering on you should be able to plug it into your computer and pull the pics from the dcim folder. Optionally, if it turns on, fastboot install twrp from bootloader, then use adb to pull the dcim folder as suggested by R4INS. If it turns on you're definitely NOT screwed

So i can use fastboot even though i didnt enable usb debugging? And doesn't the computer not lwt you connect unless u add it as a trusted device on the phone. I would have to enter the swipe pattern, which i cannot currently do

U not screwed friend.
First - did u setup back up of picture to google server? If yes , u can access them from website.
Second - you can buy OTG cable and connect your PC mouse and you will have access to your phone

I cannot see anything on the phone. The digitizer is busted as well.. its COMPLETELY black lol. Secondly, i didn't have goggle backup my photos, (because it was adding my pictures to my Google+ and wouldn't let me change it to private) so i turned off sync fir my pictures.

Fyi, all auto backup photos to g+ are always private until you otherwise choose to share them

odd should have been private by default. but thats in the past now. outside of getting a replacement screen or trying the mouse solution and trying some guess work on doing the swipe pattern, not sure what else that can be done. Sorry to hear about your situation

Screen replacements are 250 and have to ordered. Sprint won't even torch the phone. The misses is poised because we just had a newborn and ask the photos were in the phone . Called phone drs and they said it will be about a week for a screen because no one keeps it in stock. Lol damn... screwed.

Is there a program that i can use that will cast the phones screen over to the computer that way i can controll it from there? If i find a app on the market place, i can just sign in on line to my account and send the download to the phone from the play store. Any ideas?

Sounds like a good idea, but...... how would you run the app on your phone? I know you have to open airdroid on your phone to run it on your computer.

Settings-> More->Vpn "+" missing

i reinstalled the good old reliable R1HDzenui.zip rom which has always worked well for me on the Blu R1 HD. i downloaded it from a link provided by "vampirefohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/custom-rom-r1hd-zen-ui-t3473593" on this forum. It generally works fine but I can't add a vpn. I am looking for a way of adding the built in vpn that comes with android marshmallow. I would like to use it with Linphone to make sip calls though an asterisk pbx to save my cell minutes. It seems that I was able to do this previously with this rom. Maybe it needs to reenabled. Reinstalled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I just looked at vpn setting on v8.7 and when I click the + to add a connection I got a pop up message telling me that I need to set screen lock before I can add a vpn connection, so maybe you can try to set your lock screen first then try add vpn.

Nope. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't get the plus even after I do that.
When I press the 3 dots on the upper right., I get the option to select Always-on-VPN and a dialog box comes up that says Select VPN profile and .... with a radio button checked off with None as the option.

Thanks for your response. I bought a new R1HD and i was unable to unlock the bootloader so I returned it. Is it possible to hack the ones they are selling now? I used the SP....tool with the scatter text file. I am asking since you have done a lot of work with this phone.

The spflash tool method worked up to v6.5
Then needed to use dirty-cow method from 6.6 - 7.4.2
After that have not been able to do anything with v8.1 and above

Is is possible to add the vpn after the fact as a patch to the kernel or as a system application when the phone is rooted like mine is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

upgrade to newer rom

From what I read in your post, you have created an 8.x (oreo)rom for this phone and installing that would solve the problem. The phone runs so well with 6.0 marshmallow, I'm hesitant to go through all the trouble of wiping it to upgrade it. It there a way of upgrading without doing a fresh install?

Samsung note 8 retail mode (howto delete?)

I thought i bought a new Samsung note 8, but someone gave me a new note 8 in retail mode
How can i delete thuis retail mode?
Can i root the Note 8, install a custom ROM so retail mode is gone. Please help me

Download BK package disabler in the play store and disable Samsung demo mode. Mine is called Verizon Store Demo mode in system.

Realy that easy?

I highly suspect your Note8 might have been stolen from a store, and the seller had scammed you. There's a high chance that it's a "Live Demo Unit", the model in this case would theoretically be SM-N950X (according to a YouTube video I watched, linked at the end of this post)
Those are models specifically intended for retail demos, and as such, do not have cellular radios, only a fake one simulated in the demo software.
Here's the video I just mentioned. I know it's the S7 in this video, but I just wanted to get the point across. Samsung Live Demo Units can never be used as phones.
Edit: My guess is that LDUs are normally intended to be returned to Samsung after some time, like for example, when a new Galaxy device comes out.

Might be that it's been placed into demo mode, look under settings-->developer options--> demo mode

Probably a STOLEN one from a shop!
These phons aren't for customers; return the unit to the seller you bought it from!

What is this Custom Blocker app, like how do you get it? Do certain carriers install it? This is the first I've heard of it so I searched. I'd be pissed if that came installed on my phone. Totally different from demo mode.

Note 8 sm-n950f retail mode/demo

If it's an N950X, you won't be able to flash any other ROM onto it.

MDM agent is blocking your factory reset. Either this is a store model, like everyone has stated, or someone installed the MDM agent prior to giving you the phone. Without knowing who installed the MDM agent it is impossible to remove unless you can gain root access to it, and even then the MDM agent may block the root access ability or brick the phone if it detects root.
I'd say either way, return it if possible.

what is stopping you from returning this phone if you really bought it? it will be way more easier
I'm just confused you are willing to pay somebodyto help you here rather just return that unit and get a refund or a replacement since you paid for it and not stolen fom a shop

Wifi usb tethering still blocked (tried a bunch of suggested solutions) [root]

I have a rooted unlocked (originally t-mobile) note 4, using it in Spain, the android version is 6.0.1. The Spanish carriers allow wifi usb tethering, previously I had a note 1 with android 4.4 and there was no issue with usb tethering the wifi connection of the phone to any laptop. Now when I try to do the same a popup tells me
Attention
Wi-fi is turned off when usb tethering or mobile hotspot is active.
To turn on wi-fi please turn off usb tethering or mobile hotspot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I can only usb tether the mobile data connection not the wifi. I've read somewhere that I should be doing this in adb shell (as root):
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But they didn't help, still the same popup tells me that I can't tether the wifi connection.
Since the phone is rooted I guess I should be able to disable the popup somehow (or do anything I like ), any tips on how to go about this?

You might be able to get it done with this app. DBEditor.apk
You can use it to modify a bunch of the database (and totally wreck your phone if you're not careful). It just needs to be installed as a system app in this location /system/priv-app/ and set permission to 0644. You don't need to create a folder for it. I'll also upload a zip to flash if the manual method is not something you're used to and you could do that instead. View attachment DBEditor_system-install.zip
When you first start the app up it will ask for root and then it takes a couple minutes before it's fully populated. Sometimes you'll need to close it and reopen it but just when the app is first loaded.
I saw one of the settings you mentioned but not both. Maybe it's labeled slightly different, but at least this will make it easier to possibly hunt it down.

I was thinking you could check and see if there's a setting that your missing. That app will list them all for you so you can look through them to check and trial and error would be easier as well I think. It looks like the <system tether_entitlement_check_state > doesn't exist in my database, maybe it does in yours, but if not you could use this to see if something else seems relevant.
I've not used usb tethering or tried to figure out but I just thought this might help figure out the issue if you don't get a better answer.

I've checked and these are the settings I have which might be related:

Any ideas which might be relevant?

Just to be sure, it's not the carrier blocking wifi usb tethering but the OS on the phone itself so I'm absolutely sure that it's possible to allow it somehow.

Quick follow-up: I added
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Click to expand...

to /system/build.prop and still the popup tells me wifi will be turned off if I use usb tethering. I've in another thread that this is supposed to solve the problem but not for me.

One more thing: is there a way to figure out which process is responsible for the blocking popup? That would be helpful to know in order to investigate further.
