I'm running a rooted stock I317M with nothing modified except for root. I used mrRobinson's thread h t t p :/ / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 as a guide which worked perfectly to keep everything stock (and thus avoid tripping the flash counter) but gave me root. This morning the Canadian carriers began rolling out the 4.1.2 update OTA which failed a few times on my device so I used (GASP!) Kies to do the update. Not sure if it would have mattered OTA or Kies but I have now lost root. Has anyone managed to inject root into a stock image for the I317m yet? It looks like I could go with a custom AT&T I317 build or ADB in and manually install a custom recovery, root etc. but if possible I'm hoping to keep normal device status and not trip the flash counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R1K05@N:
Are you planning on turning your phone in for warranty anytime soon or do you just like the look of "Official" instead of "Modified" on your About Phone settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4runner:
Exact same thing happened for mine, stock rooted Canadian OTA to 4.1.2 failed repeatedly, Had to use Kies as well and lost root. The main reason I wanted root was to switch off fast dormancy since my Canadian carrier doesn't support it and was killing battery. Good news is it stayed switched off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Not really. Originally it was just to make sure I'd get the update without issue when it was released. My understanding is that I can always reflash with the stock firmware I have from Sammobile and it will reset the flash counter + set the status back to normal if the need arose but also thought it easier to just unroot, reboot and uninstall SU if possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R1K05@N:
Cool.... Honestly, I never worry about tripping the counter unless I need to turn in for replacement/warranty repair. Apparently, this seems to work just fine: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073141&highlight=lost+root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
First time I've actually heard of fast dormancy. My battery life has actually been pretty good and that with fairly varied, heavy use. Have to look more into it. I rooted primarily for backing up (TB), remote file sharing and just plain messing around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Thanks R1K, I looked at that earlier and still might try it after a little more in depth reading if nothing else presents itself. I use the camera fairly extensively and although it looks like the camera is only affected when patching the exploit I have to be a little cautious since I use it for work. Plus the easy unroot/stock return part :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Canadoc:
One option which is what I did, was to download the 4.1.2 update from sammobile.

I then used mobile odin to flash it which has the ability to protect root.

So now I am stock rooted on latest firmware device status is normal

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Doubt this will work.

The whole way this gained root was via the exynos exploit.

This firmware I am pretty sure has patched it.

Exynos abuse says no but voodoo app says yes.

I can confirm the exploit is patched in this new firmware so I suspect this will close any holes used by exynos abuse app to root phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Thank you Canadoc. Might be the best bet for me too. I did a TB backup just prior to the update so maybe I'll flash back to 4.1.1 with the root injected ROM in odin and then flash the 4.1.2 update from sammobile from mobile odin. Otherwise looks like it might be a custom i317 build for me. CWM sure sounds nice right now :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
For those trying to get multiveiw update and are rooted.... it is much much easier ti go get the firmware from sammobile.com then flash it with mobile odin with the ever root option.. all done :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
That's for sure. I'm going to go back to root injected stock 4.1.1 and start from scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Worked as planned... more or less. Had to do a factory reset and flash twice to get 4.1.1 to boot but from there installed mobile odin, extracted and flashed from 4.1.2 (from sammobile and copied to external SD) and good to go. Now, if you want to go stock with root and for whatever reason don't want to/can't use mobile odin, head over to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650&page=26 mrRobinson is working on injecting root into the stock builds.

Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prashant19p:
Which is the better way ?

I use the Mr. Robinsons thread to stock my device to 4.1.1 but when i did . it always stuck on the Samsung logo after rebooting.

so i have to put my phone in recovery mode and factory restore.

this wasy right now i have root on 4.1.1 .

but i wanna know the best way to update my phone to 4.1.2

becasue i know .. with OTA i will loose my root.

please help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Hi prashant there are a number of ways you can update OTA without losing root but of the easy ones I can only speak personally about one of them - Mobile Odin - which is what I used. It's a paid app but it gives you the option for EverRoot which maintains root across roms and automatically installs itself and SU in the new rom. Hate to ask, but are you sure you flashed the right rom? He has it listed as the new! Bell rom under January. If you flash that with his directions it should work - that being said though I did have to flash it twice myself to get it to work. One flash with odin, stuck on logo, back to regular recovery, wipe cache, download mode and reflash with odin, worked that time around. By that time I had mobile odin and flashed the regular update without root that way but mobile odin kept my root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
If you're looking to retain or regain root after ota, this is the easiest way imo. Just answered it in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2156741
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris19000:
Thanks Froid. SuperSU seemed to work for some folks too if they dropped the dime for the PRO version. I did see some instances where neither worked too though, but not enough details to say why. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dahydrochronic:
all you need to do is just reflash with odin rooted 4.1.1 stock rom then once that is done goto play store and get voodoo ota rootkeeper make backup then temp unroot then get the ota 4.1.2 update when finished goto to ota rootkeeper and restore root works just fine and u keep root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goop.Q:
Hey guys,

i've tried some of the new 4.2 JB Custom Roms (JellyBam 5.2, RootBox 3.6, ReVolt 3.2).

I like them all in general (except for that camrea issue, but i could fix that with AOSP Camera mod).

Now here is the problem and i guess its me:

When i change the security lockscreen to pattern or pin, the lockring with the shortcuts doesnt appear anymore!

This really bugs me. Where is the sense to select lockring apps (shortcuts), when everytime i turn the phone back on (wake it up), the phone directly goes to the pin/pattern. So it's like "unlock without swipe"!

I tried wiping, reseting and all of that in CWM, but the problem still appears.

What confuses me as well is the possibility to change the security options in the "rom controls" or the phone settings. When i change something it gets changed at both places.

Hope somebody can help me with this... :)

Greetz,

goop.Q
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Erm.....maybe because via the shortcuts, when you exit the app you are back on the home screen, so no security! No point in having a secure lock screen, then having 5 shortcuts to by pass it! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goop.Q:
Surely. But this way, anybody can access the phone.

If i have to swipe to get to pin/pattern, its secure.

And i can access some apps (via shortcuts on lockring) directly!

See my problem? :)

I posted this in the "bravo problems" thread, but i don't know if anyone still watches that thread. I hate to double post, but i need to sell this phone, and i can't if it isn't fully functioning.

Just flashed cm9 on a bravo I rescued. I have flashed cm9 on a previous bravo without any problem. On this one, I can't get it to connect to the computer in mass storage mode. I can use adb and media sync, but when I put it in memory card access mode, the drive doesn't show up. Is there something I missed, or does it not work on cm9? thanks

hey,

first of all, hello to eveyone. this is my first post :)

I have a problem with my explorer.

managed to root it with jaggy's guide and now i want to instal his rom with the help of mahmudaq guide. when i want to instal the update.zip from the card, it says :

"--Installing: /sdcard/update.zip

p

finding update package...

E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip

Installation aborted. "

I have resized intro a fat32 of 1.5gigs and the rest to 8gigs into ext4.

I am sure this subject has been already discussed around here but i can't find this particular problem, or anyways, i am finding it in tablet threads, but different.

EDIT **

think i sorted something out, when i copy the rom.zip into the card, windows requires me to format the card, and by that, i think it modifies it from ext. is there any way to not format the card before copying the rom ?

Try flashing back to a sense rom after you have made a nandroid of your current rom and updating your profile & Prl. Then check your data speeds and see if it helps.

hey there,

on 4.0.1 (cm9) i used to use the google search app to search for contacts on my phone. and there, since i turned off every search on the device, exept for contacts, my most frequent contacts showed without me having to enter anything.

now in 4.2 (cm10.1) that doesnt seem to work anymore. i turned off google now (needs web search history and stuff, which i dont like). but no search suggestions (contacts) show before i start typing. and even if i start typing a friends name, first three websearch suggestions are listed, which pushes the following contact suggestions behind the keyboard. this really sabotages my used "workflow".

do you know any possibilities how to get rid of websearch suggestions and have contact suggestions before starting to type? or how to get the old google search app back?

thx for any hint!

and i know, there are other ways to find contacts. but i learned to love this way, because it was quick through my phones permanent search btn. and, if i wanted, i could still seach the web by completing the searchterm and hitting enter...

thx again and hf

Evening,

A friend of mine has a Desire Z and would like to root it.

Because i have done this before with my HTC Desire and my Galaxy Note he asked me to help.

The rooting of the normal Desire and the Gnote were pretty easy so i never had to created a account on XDA.

Learning the hard way and reading did it all for me!!!

But this phone is different, i have to do much more stuff than my previous rooted phones. ( plus its not my phone )

When im reading the forum of the Desire Z im getting confused on how many threads and stickys there are to follow.

Can someone please help me, and guide me to the best way to perm. root it so he can enjoy his Desire Z :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylinx:
so I just bought a R800i play on the weekend and have spent the last two days researching and messing with CFW.

Now because the first thing I did was install NXT 1.3 and lupus kernel, I'm not sure if the touch pads were working or how the PSX keys are supposed to behave with to begin with.

basically I tested them with games like gun bros, minecraft and even the touchpad test app by svenk919

they do not work at all and the O key always functions the same as the back key, but all other keys seem to be working.

I even tried to go back to stock FW and tried the above apps and no luck, so I went back to NXT 1.3.

I also tried modifying the Build.prop, nothing

although new to the android CFW, I am fairly well versed in modding and CFWs coming from the PSP scene, and am sure i followed the instructions

Basically I think i'm missing drivers or something or is there a way I can tell that there is a hardware fault?

Please help because I am about to lose my hair.

it is supposed to be brand new, and there is no cosmetic wear

although I did buy it in Malaysia and may have been sold a faulty/factory second?

Thanks in advance.

extract the zip that greg did for rimmer

2) locate the two files that he mentioned above. " drawables.xml" and "PhoneStatusBar.smali" and copy them to your desktop

3) go to YOUR own decompiled systemui.apk and replace the two files with the ones you have on your desktop from step 2

4) recompile YOUR own systemui.apk "remember to delete the resource thingy"

5) put YOUR systemui.apk into the extracted folder that gred did for rimmer
