Unsupported device means your rooted. It has no bearing on function of wallet. Click the unsupported icon and it will just tell you that you are a bad boy and deserve nothing less than life in prison:p

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
Im new to Android so sorry for any wrong info..

Yes you can unlock the bootloader without rooting

Not sure about the second one

Yes you can unroot and lock your bootloader and also flash the stock rom if youve used a custom rom
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
1. Yes you can.

2. Well if you're planning to flash anything after unlocking, you'll have to flash a custom recovery before doing so.

3. Yes you can flash stock rom/kernel/recovery and then relock the bootloader if you need to send your phone back for warranty repairs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arynhard:
1) yes

2) If you unlock the bootloader you do not HAVE to flash a custom recovery, it is just recommended that you do.

3) yes and no. google provided stock images that you can use to restore your phone. At the moment they aren't officially available, but with some searching you can easily find them. Any time you root a phone, you void the warranty, however, most phones don't provide a way to flag the manufacturers that you actually have rooted it.

Better to read some advanced guide cause it's a bit hard.

people who bought the cellphone from germany have the bug ? and the emmc VTU00M

FwRev: 0xf1?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It doesn't matter where your phone comes from.

If it has this chip:

emmc: VTU00M

Rev: 0xf1

it is affected and needs to run safe kernels/recoveries that include Samsung's fix.

If it's 0xf7, or not VTU00M at all - it's considered to be safe as there was no instance of SD issue on those chips.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazy56:
so the note 2 have this bug too ?

and what does it mean safe kernels?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androssama:
AFAIK, and for the international version (GT-N7100) safe kernels are :

Samsung stock kernel version LL7 and beyond.

Perseus alpha 31 and up

Redpill 1.01 and up

NEAK 1.4 and up

As for the recoveries the only safe one is TWRP 2.3.3.1 and up (current version is 2.4)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blazy56:
and this will fix the problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androssama:
If you have the mentioned chip (VTU00M rev 0xf1) you need to be running two things : a kernel and a recovery that contain the fix. Then you'll be as safe as it can be at the moment.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
OK, so my AT&T Note 2 is almost here (FedEx tried to deliver it ye3sterday when I was at work) so I want to make sure I am ready when it gets here. So some questions:

1 I downloaded Odin and understand how to root the phone but where do I get the file to use with Odin to do the rooting?

2 After rooting, what program do I use to flash a new rom?

3 Is there a sticky thread somewhere with this information that I could read?

4 Is there a good program to import all of my contacts from my old Windows phone? I'm not sure what format they are stored in so that is why I mention that it is a Windows phone.

5 (opinion) What is the best rom for an AT&T Note 2? I plan on adding lots of applications later and I really don't like re-installing things often so I'll probably stick with whichever rom I choose for quite a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297 - Does not require Odin to root. Just save to your phone, make sure Unknown Sources is checked in your phone's settings, run the file to install, run the app, make sure the exploit boxes underneath the "root" section are unchecked, then select root.

2: Download GooManager from the Play Store and run it. In menu, select Install OpenRecoveryScript. Follow the prompts, and it will download and install TWRP (custom recovery) for you. It will ask to reboot.

3: Simply do a search at the top of the forum.

4: Try Samsung Kies first. It should transfer all your contacts from most devices. Do this before installing a new ROM. Then make sure the contacts are saved to GMail's contacts.

5: It depends on preference. Each one have their own features and functionality, and varies on the version of Android it's using. I would research each one and see what entices you if I were you. Some ROMs may even have features of certain apps that you like built-in, enhancing the phone's performance due to the fact that it doesn't require an extra app to do what you want it to do. Most ROMs won't require you to "reinstall" things with each update of the ROM if you're just doing an update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Thanks.

Maybe I'm making this harder than it needs to be. Looking at some of the roms I notice that some of them say "rooted". If I plan to flash a rooted rom do I have to root first? I assume no, but I thought I should ask.

But to install TWRP I think it has to be rooted and if I use TWRP to flash roms then I guess I'd have to be rooted first even if the rom being flashed is rooted. Now I've confused myself again. I really don't want to turn my $700 phone into a brick by screwing up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
Custom ROMs always require root because it relies on a custom recovery such as TWRP and CWM. So, in short, unless you want to stay stock, you need to root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topshelf95:
This post should help to greatly simplify things for you. (4th post in the thread) Instructions are referring to the jedi rom but they will work for almost any other rom. I am on clean rom and have tried several others. Everything works great on clean rom. My advice would be to download all the ones you want to try, flash them and try each one for a day or two until you figure out which you like the best, then get your phone set up how you want on that rom. Once you get the one you like perfect, make a nandroid backup and then you can always flash any new roms you want to try and if they don't work for you, you can flash your backup and not have to worry about setting everything up on your phone all over again.

Trust me, the phone is absolutely worth the wait and the money! Also like he said earlier, every ROM is different and my favorite won't necessarily be your favorite, but if you like the look of Stock, I use Jedix8 which has great battery life and performance and some cool extra features. CleanRom also has a great reputation and I'll probably give it a go soon just to see what it's like. PM me if you have other questions or anything at all :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Thanks all. I think I have it all figured out (and thanks to FedEx's stupid delivery policies I've had 3 extra days to think about it).

I have downloaded Odin and a rooted img file from http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method

It will root and install CWM (although I think I would prefer TWRP from what I've rad.

I've doanloaded both the CleanRom for AT&T and the Jedi roms and will try those out. I think once I get the phone rooted and with hte custom recovery on it the actual flashing of new roms will be comparatively easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
Well, I got my phone last night and charged it. Today I was able to root it, install TWRP, and flass CleanRom all in under an hour. Thanks to all those who offered help. The only issue I had/have is a lack of internet wit hdefault WAP settings: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37478407

I've gotten around it using the Cingular settings but download speed is only 1.9MB. That's OK for now as I consider my options: live with it or talk to AT&T and see is something can be done without losing my unlimited plan.

Overall , this was an easy process thanks to the large databse of information here and friendly helpful people. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of doing this to proceed. It is easy once you start.

I was wondering ever since ice cream/jellybean, is it really a performance enhancement to include zipalign scripts? Doesn't android already optimize every app on boot? I deleted the script, and noticed everything to be more snappy, and I don't get any more random FCs when opening apps! Maybe dumb luck, or excellent finding ;P

If you have recently tried to update your Google Now, you may have seen the new requested permissions. These include, but are not limited to, access to your phone's microphone at any time without your permission, and access to your phone's camera (assuming front-facing and rear) at any time without your permission.

Questions: Why is Google attempting to completely dissolve any sort of privacy in order to use Google Now? It is a handy tool, but is a slap in the face in the "all-or-nothing" permission request it puts forth. This is incendiary and needs to be stopped. Google does not need the ability to see and hear me in the privacy of my home.

Followup - Is this something that can be circumvented by an application, or baked into the ROM's our dev's make? Is there any way that the tech geniuses here at XDA can fight the good fight in this struggle for end-user privacy?

Is anyone else creeped out by this???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] R3CKL355:
Pdroid?

Pffffffffffffffffffftt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joeinternet:
+1 - I won't run any ROM without pdroid - it requires a lot of effort up front, but is entirely worth it and it's an excellent way to learn how to secure your device. You'll be amazed at the unnecessary access some apps can get by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dnar56:
The Feds (Google counts as part since they operate under them) could always do that since the 90s even with the phone off. It was always denied but now it's just out in the open kinda how your blood was stored in data banks at birth since the 60s and it was denied by the government until Mr. George w. Bush said they can do it legally. Nothing to be creeped out by, just have a few weapons and lots of ammo ready. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bionik9:
So, I got a PDroid compatible ROM. The interface isn't that intuitive to me. Can someone tell me what the different icons mean?

Clearly the green check mark means that this particular permission has been granted, and the circle/slash means blocked. What about the "?" and "AB"?

When would one use "Notify on access" or "Log access"?

What's the difference between Save, X, and Trash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Are we suppose to be suprised that an app that has the capability to run our entire phone by voice and predict our movement and actions has permission to access all our movements and actions?

If privacy is an issue, you either shouldn't use it or at the least use PDroid. But that's Google MO, they give you convenience at the price of your privacy.

I believe "?' means there are no settings for that app in place yet. I forget what AB is. There should be a legend somewhere in there? *currently on a ROM without PDroid so I cant look it up*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bionik9:
Lol... Internet tough guy. Are we to assume Google Now needs video and or audio feed to tell me what time I leave for work? I'm no oracle, but that answer, corbn89, is a resounding NO. Thanks for your relevant post. Pfft...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Replying to my useless post (considering my info was wrong) with another useless post. Real classy.

Anyways, did you find out what AB was?

The options in PDroid 2.0 are allow, deny, prompt when asking for permission. Prompting would be used with an app where you wouldn't want to allow it all the time but spoofing your info may result unwanted results (e.g. locations)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bionik9:
AB appears to be a spoofing mechanism as it allows for a new value to be inputted by the user. For instance, when I go into the FB app and click on the AB next to Phone Number, it allows another string to enter (I entered a viable fake number). However, it appears that ANY change to permissions renders the application (FB in this case) unusable as it will FC before it even opens. Any change to permissions automatically defaults the app to be labeled as "Untrusted". I have not been able to get PDroid functional at all. Any ideas???

"Warm" is a pretty loose definition.

What you consider wam, I might consider normal operation. Or what you consider warm, might be considered hot by me. It's really open to interpretation and "you'd have to feel/experience it yourself".

Could you try quantifying it by using an actual temperature? Or at least a more reliable comparison?

For example: Like too hot to hold on to (55-60+ Celsius), warmer than your skin but you can hold on to it (38 ~ 50C), skin temperature, etc?

Actual temperature would be best of course, but I know that might not be an option.

[Q] N8010, OTA 4.1.1, with device status as "custom" when nothing has been modified

Hi,

I have a N8010 (I'm in the UK) which recently updated OTA to 4.1.1. I haven't rooted or modified it in any way, however, when I went to check if 4.1.2 was around yet, the update dialog told me "your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". It's also showing "custom" as the device status. I tried a factory reset, reinstalled everything, and at first it seemed OK but now has gone back to this "custom" status.

I want to keep the software as the official edition until 4.1.2 comes out OTA in the UK - can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?

Hey, I bought it new and sealed, and haven't seen this problem until after the jellbean 4.1.1 OTA update.

However I've been doing some research and have found a possible cause - it seems that, since the 4.1.1 update, if I turn my tablet on with the SD card in place it thinks my software is custom...if I remove SD card and restart, it's coming up as official! No idea why this is happening, but at least it means when 4.1.2 comes out OTA in the UK (which hopefully it will soon!) I just have to remove the SD card and reboot to get the update.

Strange!
