[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wc4482:
Sorry if this is a dumb question...

But I want to go from Jelly Beans v4 to v6 and don't want to dirty install (I want to wipe using stock recovery)

What I'm worried about is losing root or twrp. Are there any pitfalls for the unwary?

What will happen if i wipe data via stock recovery? Will I have to reroot or reinstall twrp before flashing the new zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
If you are running beans v4 you are using a custom recovery. Not stock recovery.

Reboot to TWRP. Wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik like always. Install new ROM. No worries.

Nice shiny new clean install of beans ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wc4482:
Thank you! You are always nervous for your first time (pun intended: giggity)

With the whole SD Swap thing i'm having files and folders all over the place. I'm going to save all my files and then format my SD cards and reflash clean.

Another Question for titanium backup users:

When I factory reset and I get the prompt that my device's android ID has changed, should I revert to the old ID or just leave the new ID? For some reason I am having trouble with my todo.txt touch app, no matter how many times i clear app cache/data or uninstall reinstall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
I revert to the old one...seems to ensure all your apps will work. The phone will reboot once you choose to revert and you will be all set.

When I plug my phone to the charger , takes up to 8 hours to get full charged , I have installed sotmax v13 ROM , what can I do to fix this issue???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.T.J0hnnie:
1)Calibrate your battery via CWM recovery (wipe battery stats option) or with an app from playstore.

2)Wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot.

3)Reflash your ROM.

4)If the above do not solve the issue try to full wipe and flash again.

5)Do not forget to look at your ROM's OP(original post) in order to check if other users have/had the same issue.

Hope I helped:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam77744:
just change your usb ceble.then everything is ok.sotmax rom is so good
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProxyChain:
I was using the stock Samsung charger that came with my GT-I9300, but I added a male<->female USB extender between the Samsung USB cable and the Samsung wall charger. After about a week I realised it was taking ALL night to charge (and by all night I mean it was just finishing up when I woke up the next day).

Removing that extender and just using the phone-supplied components makes the phone charger MUCH faster now. Moral of the story, check your charging equipment and try out other cables/adapters/etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chory:
Thanks , I just change the usb cable and know its charging normally

I did try another .zip but not succeeded, it just installed super user :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
you can flash cwm then with the help of adb you can remount system and can push su to /system
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] 17thGwydion:
tut

can u give me a tutorial on how to push SU to system? or remount system? or full tutorial.. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lamqsb:
full tut plz
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] 17thGwydion:
still no good

still no good feedback, someone try it please
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
flash cwm with odin

boot into it

connect your mobile with pc

configure your adb connection correctly

open cmd cd to the folder where you are having adb.exe file

copy your su file in the folder where you have adb

type adb remount

adb push su /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

adb shell

if you will get # you are rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Can't set SetUID or SetGID bit.

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

"chmod: operation not permitted"

SuperOneClick doesn't work also.

/system partition is 100% full, you have to delete something to push su binary. (i deleted stock samsung apps, and wallpapers)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
you were able to push su which means you have proper access

my be permission change is not needed

try type adb shell su

or use aroma file manager v1.80 and change su permission from that
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Unfortunately permission change is a must. You must set setuid and setgid (06755), because upon the su binary execution it will pass the owner's (root) permissions.

Can't use aroma file manager to set permissions because /system/xbin/su owner is root and a plain user can't change permission on files that he doesn't own.

I don't know how to solve this issue. :(

edit:

I can mount the system partition as rfs:

mount -rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl12 /system

Then, i can set chmod 06755 su.

But after unmount or reboot, permission will be set back to 00755...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
it is too much weird

can you use linux

you may be able to change the permission of the su file in Linux desktop and then can push it to system with adb

in this way permissions would remain same
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Ok, it's solved!

I tried with ubuntu's adb. Unpacked the universal_gb_root_v25.zip. I mounted the system partition in adb. Then pushed all files with correct permissions to /system/xbin (the apks goes to /system/app).

First:

chown all files to root:shell

Second:

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox

chmod 04755 /system/xbin/sqlite3

chmod 04755 /system/xbin/ssh

now it looks like this:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 853044 Jun 22 2011 busybox

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell 60264 Dec 6 10:28 dexdump

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 125024 Jun 22 2011 sqlite3

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 146720 Jun 22 2011 ssh

-rwsr-sr-x 1 root shell 91980 Jun 22 2011 su

It works after unmount or reboot.

Finally i have root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
I should write a guide about this method what do you say

as it worked for you
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Yes of course it's a good idea.

I've edited the previous post because i messed up the order of chmoding and chowning.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
I will do it soon

and a little tip for you

try to put the quoted text above your text it looks and makes sense much better
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Ok, thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lamqsb:
you should flash these 2 updates. I rooted successfully this afternoon :laugh:

universal_gb_remove_quickoffice.zip

mediafire.com/?d187xeo2y0d7as3

update to root 2.3.zip

[Thunderbolt General] harecurtis:
I know HTC has said 500 times or more "ICS is on its way"

but its like 6+ months later than they said

do you think we will see ICS for our T-Bolts?

ive read a million articles, and cant find a recent-ish one

thanks a ton everyone!

and by the way can I have some opinions about the DNA or Galaxy Note 2....one of those bad boys are my next upgrade and to me they are pretty equal, but opinions would be welcome and helpful :)
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
I'm doubting an official release of ICS for the Thunderbolt. I'm hoping for HTC to release more sources so that we can just build it ourselves.

And as far as those two phones go, get the DNA. Or wait until February and get the HTC M7.
[Thunderbolt General] harecurtis:
the only downfall with the dna in my opinion is that HTC makes it

now im not a htc hater, in fact they are the company that make me jump on the android ship, and ive loved them until I had the thunderbolt, rezound and incredible 4g

with the lack of updates from HTC im affraid to get the DNA, the best comparison is the droid razr and rezound; the razr has 4.1 ready to roll out in early Q1 2013 (there was an "accidental" ota update a few weeks back that gave a few hundred uses android 4.1, and motorola confirmed android 4.1 in early Q1) where the HTC rezound may get 4.1 but it will prolly be around june- and I honestly think thats on the early side.

but If HTC shows better upgrades ide jump over there to the DNA right now
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Well if it makes you feel any better. The DNA already has sources out for it and it had them released the first couple of weeks of its release. It is very unlikely that a phone with the power that the dna has won't get updates. The problem the thunderbolt has had the whole time is dual core phones were right around the corner when it was made and HTC blew it off for more powerful hardware.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
These are my thoughts exactly.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Oh and on another note. Verizon is partially to blame for the lack of support and ics on this device. They keep stonewalling the update because I think they know we still have unlimited and they want us off of it. If they give us the update then it is unlikely we will upgrade anytime soon. You also can't forget that this phone was the first from Verizon that has the svdo capability which the source to that has been kept under lock and key for quite some time now. I think that Verizon is protecting that info because they may resurrect it later on. This and the rezound are the only two phones that are able to talk and surf even on 3g. The others that are able to do this use volte (voice over lte) which only works with 4g.
[Thunderbolt General] viceversa:
As much as I hate using my tbolt everyday....I will be holding on to the tbolt until the next nexus phone is released for Verizon. I've had an update available for a while and would gladly go get a S3 but the tbolt experience has pushed me to the point of...nexus or nothing from here on out.
[Thunderbolt General] wiredmonkey:
Never realized how slow my TB is until I got a Nexus 7.

Anyway, I'm waiting for either the Galaxy S4 or the next Google/Moto phone. Maybe the HTC M7, depending on when the others are available.
[Thunderbolt General] vdChild:
Probably going to be waiting awhile... There is a reason you don't see the nexus4 on Verizon
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
I don't know why everyone insists on blaming HTC for lack of updates on the Thunderbolt.

It's not entirely in their hands, or I believe we would have had it long ago.

The biggest issue is actually the network itself and is what's held up many updates for various devices, in my opinion.

If you think a Nexus on VZW will make things different, THINK AGAIN.(I urge you to read the link)

No matter how good or common, or baseline a device may seem to be, it will never make the carrier any better.

Verizon just plain old SUCKS at getting updates out.
[Thunderbolt General] zero26800:
and it wont change. ever. they have moved away from customer support because they don't need to worry about happy customers if they already have them tied down for two years. and all those issues people have disappear when its time to upgrade and the consumer is happy again. then the cycle begins again
[Thunderbolt General] harecurtis:
thanks for the feedback everyone!

I know HTC isnt just to blame, BUT if you look at apple for instance (sorry for bringing them up) they can do what they want with their phones, and the carriers can pretty much shove it if they dont like it.

now my question is this, why can apple do what they want (ex no bloatware, and updates whenever they see fit) and android companies (HTC, LG, Samsung, And even Google with the case of a nexus) cant?
[Thunderbolt General] Slack3r:
I left my Thunderbolt for a Galaxy Note II and I absolutely love it. It is the perfect size for me, and it still manages to sit comfortably in my pockets. The phone overall is excellent, but the two features that stand out are the stylus and the battery life.

I did not consider getting the DNA because it has an inferior screen (resolution aside,) and the battery life has been reported to be horrendous. I would say either the Note II or the GS3 are both very safe bets if you are looking to get a new phone.
[Thunderbolt General] SlyG07:
As soon as my upgrade was up, I left my HTC Thunderbolt for a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I've waiting way too long for HTC or Verizon to update this phone. I've read article after article and posted on HTC's Facebook pages and no response. They've lost me as a customer (HTC, not Verizon; I'm not giving up my unlimited data!).

I suggest the Samsung SIII or the Samsung GNII. I love my Note II and think the Thunderbolt is soooooo tiny after using it (just took a look at my Thunderbolt 5 minutes ago to see what I can do with it without any service on it).
[Thunderbolt General] Dannar:
While I'm not ecstatic about HTC, I feel like Verizon is to blame here. Just look at how their policies are for everything else.

For all of you crowing about unlimited, you realize you are paying a monthly rate which includeds a phone subsidy right? Except, you get no phone. It's like "How about you pay full price for a phone, and then pay a higher rate as though you actually got a phone for free." Ooooo sign me up!

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but Verizon is getting lots of blood from you for the sake of unlimited. If you have the money, I guess its one thing, but OTOH, if money werent an issue, you wouldn't care about overage fees.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I have two phones with unlimited data on my plan and if I took the share everything plan I would end paying $40 more a month and get less data than I actually need. Plus I still wouldn't get one of those phone subsidies you're talking about since I'm not eligible for upgrade for a while so I would definitely pay full retail for a phone before I lost unlimited. Also there are plenty of phones I could buy used that are excellent for half the price of retail or better.

[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Just like other guy stated I would be paying more if I went on share everything plan I don't use a crazy amount of data but 13-20 GB a month is where I sit. I am hoping Google releases a phone every year like the upcoming xphone so I can buy it off the play store, if they are in stock that is. But I will hold onto my unlimited data as long as I can cause their share everything plan is a joke, $40 for a smart phone access fee equals $29.99+$9.99 which is what we were already paying to buy the unlimited or 2gb or 4gb all they did was slap a two cent raise and hoped no one would notice. I noticed jerks!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] lukesed:
HTC deserves some blame too - it seems like they gave the update to Verizon around September, which is still ten or eleven months after ICS was released.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
That is true but how can we expect a company to push out an ota for a one year old device that probably 95% of the purchasers moved to a different device. We should all be happy that they got their crap together enough to give us this last one.

[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
What is this, I've received a text and a call with a code and have no idea if it's for the Google Search thing or not??
[HTC One S] david251:
On your google account, there's a second layer of security. Anytime you log into your account from a device or computer other than the one recognized by google, you'll have to enter this code which is sent to the phone number listed on your google account. You can disable this by logging into your account and going to security.

I had it on my account, but I've gone through several ROMs the past couple of days and got tired of having to go through the process everytime I flashed a new ROM.

However - this is assuming you are logging into your Google account when you get these texts/calls. If not, then it could be some spammy thing or perhaps someone else is trying to log into your account from another device/computer,
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I only use it on my phone, never used it on my PC nor logged in on my PC either so it must be a scam
[HTC One S] david251:
Could be a scam, sure. But even if you've only used it on your phone, Google will then send the code anytime [you or someone] tries to log in with a device ID not recognized by Google. When you first logged in on your phone, do you remember selecting an option for the second layer of security? Here's a link to info on it if you want to see what it is.

As you said, it may well be junk - but it won't hurt to keep an eye on your account just to be safe.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Nope I've never logged into anything or checked any extra security on my phone for Google Search and I just put this ROM on 2 days ago'JellyBam'??
