For anyone still facing this issue on newer samsung phones just go disable reactivation lock in the settings in the security section then reboot back to download mode and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Settings within Android don't really have any effect on download or recovery modes. Both boot independently from the Android OS.

I've never heard of or seen a reactivation lock in Android though, so maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Reactivation lock is a feature found in some stock Samsung ROMs. It's not a feature I'v seen in custom ROMs that are based on CAF, AOSP or CM.

I have S5 SM-G9006V and I want to install Stock 6.0.1 marshmallow that new released

i downloaded stock marshmallow zip (other country) file from sammobile but i can not install any rom except stock chinese rom and any Cyanogenmod Kltchn pls help me I just want to install stock marshmallow rom :'(

By the way , I have same problem with odin '' SECURE MODE ENABLED '' and '' ABOOT ''
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The aboot error is happening because you are trying to flash a ROM that was not intended for your phone or the phone's installed bootloader is newer than the ROM bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melandroid:
So ? Can not i install any stock rom on my S5?

Can you explain me please how can i install any stock official rom (at least 5.0 :) on my S5 as in the past?

Because i can just install Chinese rom everythink is ok but keypad or keyboard is really weird.

When i have first bought my s5 , it was SM-G900F but when i tried to install CM 12(kltchn) and TWRP (kltchn) the phone turned SM-G9006V ??? Please help me...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You must install a stock ROM that matches your phone's model #. In the case of the SM-G9006V, it looks like the phone was made only for China Unicom so you can only install a China Unicom ROM. Trying to flash an s5 ROM that is made for another model will not work or possibly brick your phone.

When you boot into download mode, what is the model #? It is strange that flashing CM or TWRP would turn the phone from a 900F into a 9006V unless an incorrect bootloader was flashed to the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melandroid:
Everything is chinese in first download mode so i just know volume up is entering download mode following that there is both blue and red writings and my phone is unfortunately sm-g9006v...

Nevertheless, when i bought my phone first time a kind of arabian rom had been installed?! There was no chinese somethings even my phone's box is sm-g900f and there is arabic alphabet onto the box. So if someone could install any other rom like this preinstalled. I think this situation is not unsolvable

Please help me!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you ever see the Sm-g900f anywhere on the phone when you first got the phone? Did you flash any rom to the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melandroid:
Of course bro What am i talking about? :)

I bought my phone nearly 5 or 6 months before.

First time everything is SM-G900F. Writing of SM-G900F is on the phone's box, in my stock android(LP 5.0) settings (settings > about phone > device model you know) and finally i am not sure but may be in the download mode. Everything has started when i wanted to install custom rom but i would already install custom rom as usual. ;) (i had s4 before and no promlems with it. I could install every rom what i wanted) anyway when i tried to install custom rom with stock android recovery and as far as i remember stock download mod (i am saying stock because my download mode has been turned in chinise ) i got an error about zip file because i had downloaded cyanogen for sm-g900f that's way there appeared some both yellow and red writings.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Maybe the phone is actually a 9006v that had 900f firmware? The phone was new when you bought it?

Not Maybe the phone is actually a 9006v that had 900f firmware, 900f firmware had already been installed on my phone

BUT the problem is How has the 900f firmware been installed???

How can i turn back? How can i install my stock rom with latin alphabet :)

If they were able to install in factory or somewhere like that anyway i strongly think that i can install?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
I didn't want to post a question in the development thread so I thought I should post it here. I wanted to know if it was possible to create my own build of CM9 or CM10. Currently, I have my NC running eyeballer's CM9. My computer runs Windows 8 and I'm looking to install Ubuntu 12.04.1 in VMWare. I guess my first question would be can I build on an Ubuntu running on VMWare? And I have noticed that video playback is not working (or at least has issues) in either PA and eyeballer's CM9 nightlies...my second question is, how high (or low) is the chance of getting it to work (properly)? And if it does would it be as smooth as it is in CM7?

Thanks for all your help!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Yes its possible. Read fat-tire's thread in development for building cm9/cm10.

Will it run as well as cm7? Well, that's difficult to say, your mileage may vary.

EDIT: sorry, its dal's thread. The work in progress thread.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
Thanks! It is possible then. :) I am now, as we speak, installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my VMWare. I hope everything goes well! This would be a really great learning experience for me!

I guess my next question is...where do we ask questions in case we experience problems about building CM9/CM10? Would it be OK to ask noob questions in that thread or do I ask in here? I just don't want to be stoned to death for asking noob questions. :D

The build environment is Xcode 4.4, on OS X 10.7, but it should be set up properly.

The binary has already been built and resides in .//hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271/stad/build/linux/libestadrv.a so I was thinking of yanking it from the makefiles and settings it directly to the linker.

I would just ask for any other suggestions if there is a better way?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] friscomike:
Howdy,

I restored the NT to 1.4.0, then tried to install CWM via a variety of methods. All resulted in a temporary flash of the white CWM screen, then overlaid by a black screen with a Factory Reset Dialog. I just tried TWRP with the same result. Here is what I did:

1. Removed the SD card.

2. Held down the power and N until the screen turned black

3. Installed the SD card with the NT off.

4. Plugged in the power cord from the wall-wart.

5. White CWM or TWRP screen temporarily appears

6. Cursed Factory Reset dialog appears.

I have searched the forum, tried the different approaches, but still the same result. I rooted the NT once before and had an early version of CM7 installed. I restored to factory after WiFi and root stopped working.

Any suggestions?

Best,

MIke

Resolved - Used Universal Boot Loader and reinstalled.
[Nook Color General] satya-1998:
Okay, I do not know if this guide has been posted similarly earlier, but here is a guide according to my experiences.

Works with Gingerbread(CM7) and ICS( PA, CM9) on EMMC as far as I know. I have no idea about SD installs but should

work. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU TRIGGER WORLD WAR 3........

Step1. Take a NANDROID Backup

Step2. Turn down your brightness to the lowest level or the lowest possible.

Step3. Keep your WiFi and BT off when not required.

Step4. This step has two methods, easy and medium

a. EASY PEASY WAY-

1. Go to play store and fetch System App Remover. Its a paid app but worth it. Install it, give it Superuser Access and fire it up.

Open "system apps" and un-install ONLY IN THIS ORDER for convenience- "Camera.apk", "VoiceDialer.apk", "telephony Provider.apk" and then finally, "phone.apk"

b. MEDIUM WAY

1. Get ES File Explorer and enable root access or fetch "Root Explorer" for yourself. For that matter fetch any Root Explorer. Fire it up. Go to "/system/app/". Click on Mount R/W. From there delete the same APK files as mentioned above in the SAME ORDER.

Step5. Most probably you will get an FC error for "com.android.phone" or something has stopped. Just hold your power button for 10 sec and you Nookie should shut down. Boot up again.

Step6(Optional) Install Zeam Launcher. Super fast and snappy launcher. Highly recommended for ICS ROM's to free up RAM and resources.

Step7 (Optional). Go back into /system/app and delete any bloatware you do not use, e.g. Calendar, Desk Clock etc. If are not sure what to delete, follow the matrix here-- http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
[Nook Color General] webdoctors:
Thanks for the tips.

I'm currently running the ICS nightly Sept 4 build, and even o/c it can be sluggish in the browser when doing Google searches. I'll try these and report back! :D I wonder if Titanium Backup can also remove the apps once you're rooted.
[Nook Color General] satya-1998:
Great!

I have heard of Titanium Backup's system app remove capabilities but you can use ES Explorer too. Just go to settings-> check "root explorer" and check "set /system writable". I am in an ICS ROM now( Paranoid Android 1.6) and I have around 160 MB of Free RAM (Average). My clcok settings are-

For normal standby- Min=300 MHz Max=1200 MHz Governor= CONSERVATIVE

For Gaming- Min=300MHz Max=1200MHz Governor= ONDEMAND

I also recommend a Task Killer (Advanced Task Killer Pro) for RAM Management.

Cheers

PS. I assume you are on eyeballer's CM9, please try Fruit Ninja free on your ROM and tell me if it works. I never worked for me on any ICS ROM except Paranoid Android
[Nook Color General] IFLATLINEI:
Now I'm not trying to be a **** but are we seriously still doing this? Its been debated to death and the conclusion is we shouldn't be using taskillers except in rare circumstances. Definitely not to manage memory!
[Nook Color General] satya-1998:
There no harm in using Task Killers. it works excellent for me. I do not have any important B/G apps running so. It could vary from person to person. Anyways, thank you for your help.....

You might want to look at MR72's guide here. He's gone into more specific settings and what they do.

I know what all the experts say, but without task killing on either my CM7 or Stock ROMs, my Nook will ALWAYS run sluggish and sometimes very much so, as free RAM approaches about 100 MB or so.

[General Questions and Answers] SunnyChrono6:
Title says it all(Basically Android vs. iOS)
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
I'm going to try and stay neutral on this one.

iOS has more games. The 4 and 4S are both extremely capable phones and have beast GPUs. They play heavy 3D games without lag.

Android still has plenty of games. But only the high end phones can compete with iOS gaming power. (Don't expect a say... galaxy y to play shadowgun smoothly). However, those high end phones have the big advantages of having waaaay bigger screens and HD resolution.

SInce we're comparing high end iphones it should only be a comparison of the Android equivalents, so HOX and S3. Both have way better screens, and the big games from iOS are on Android too. Those that aren't have clones.

Android wins.
