[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MotoDefier:
Is it possible to find that order with out a stock firmware to flash in odin? Would it follow the boot sequence, example: boot, sbl1,rpm, tz, sbl2, sbl3, cache, system. This is pretty much the boot tree for the T999L, its been a while since I looked at it but I think that's right. Is there Any way flashing order follows boot tree order?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Generally they are pretty close to the same but I have run into a few cases where they haven't been. In those cases trial and error are the only route I've found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MotoDefier:
Let me ask you this, would it work for me to tar the files with the wildcards and use the pit file and then I can get the correct order of the flash based on how odin flashes it with the pit file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I honestly haven't tried that. If you want to give it a shot let us know if it works. Thanks!

Odin flash just system

What if I just want to flash the system portion of the phone? is that possible or do I still need to make a TAR ball
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Depends on what you have setup. You could flash it as a ZIP file through recovery and not have to do it as a TAR ball. If you want to flash through Odin or Mobile Odin you would need to do it as a TAR ball. You could do it in a TAR ball with just the system image though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kalanir:
Yeah that's essentially what I did lol I decompiled the USCC stock SGS4 ROM and took the system.img.ext4 and recompiled it with an MD5 and got it to flash over =) all is good cept I cant seem to get my svc working -.-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ocaldini:
I need to know the S4 I9505 flashing order:

Mine that I created is like that:

aboot.mbn

boot.img

cache.img.ext4

hidden.img.ext4

modem.bin

NON-HLOS.bin

recovery.img

rpm.mbn

sbl2.mbn

sbl3.mbn

system.img.ext4

tz.mbn

Is that correct?? alphabetic?

I always thought the mobile was able to define the order of files, which file it would flash first.

I didn't know I had to know a correct order.

And how do I set the correct order? the first files in the command?

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kalanir:
whats interesting is that the phone itself (and I believe the PIT also) determines the flashing order. I decompiled the USCC rom and just threw it back together without any order. the biggest thing I noticed when I was that you should have an MD5 made. You definitely don't want corrupt files especially when it comes to the radio
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'm not able to tell you the exact flashing order for your specific device as I don't have it to test on. However, I can tell you each device is slightly different. I've found the best way to find your device's flash order is to flash a stock TAR and then take note of the order Odin flashes it.

To load the files correctly you need to make sure that you put them into the TAR ball in the correct order. The order added is the same order that you use in the command to create the TAR ball.

EDIT: As a side note, you may be able to flash them in a random order but this could result in issues with the device. I've had devices not boot and worse due to incorrect flashing orders in the TAR. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ocaldini:
Reporting my attempt...

I flashed the rom successfully with that order (alphabetic) on my S4 I9505!

I didn't have any kind of issues!

I always thought that the mobile knew what the order is when it install the files, that's why I made this question.

Thank you!

[MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION], I've posted on your repository site in the thread like this one but I'm going to post here also.

Im trying to create a stock rooted tar like those for the epic 4gtouch but for my model of S3 instead so that the rooting process for my device can be simplified. I have the stock firmware for my device, do I just need to extract the factoryfs.img with superSU and busybox installed from my device using terminal app then replace the factoryfs.img in my stock tar with the factoryfs.img that I pulled from my device then repack the tar and make the md5? Or just extract factoryfs from the stock tar that I have then put su and busybox binaries in xbin and the apks in system app folder then repack and md5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Unfortunately it's not quite as easy as that. In concept it works and its what [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION], [MENTION=1299673]sfhub[/MENTION] and myself used to do with the E4GT TAR balls. However, with the introduction of Knox and the preload folders for KitKat and Lollipop this process no longer works. None of us have yet figured out a method in order to work around it and have root stick after flashing.

In theory if one were to find a way to make root stick this would work but it would also trip Knox. Knox looks for anything being flashed via Odin that is not 100% stock, as the system files have been changed they would show a modified state and trip Knox.

For rebuilding your factoryfs.img or system.img check out this tutorial by [MENTION=2016533]chris41g[/MENTION]. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13834882 You'll need to read through most of the thread (or at least the last several pages) it's an older method that has had to had some updates to it that are not reflected in the OP.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Droidriven:
OK, I understand how Knox works but there is no Knox on my S3, its 4.1.2, it shouldn't have Knox should it? That came later didn't it?

If I remember correctly the stock rooted .tar(s) for the E4GT were 4.1.2 weren't they?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Droidriven:
Couldn't I just pull system, kernel and recovery from an already rooted device to make this easier, wouldnt it have the binaries in place where they should be? Could I just take the stock rooted files dumped in the method in this link then unpack the stock tar and put my pulled IMGs in place of the original IMGs then repack the tar?

How can you make a tar file using busybox on android terminal emulator ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] po8pimp:
Using the program GiT for windows I was able to do these steps on WIN 10. The download is located here: https://git-scm.com/download/win

I did this on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6. The boot order was very important.

sboot.bin

cm.bin

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img

cache.img

modem.bin

Without following the correct order it went straight to recovery and started to bootloop when I tried rebooting it.

I recently rooted my kyocera rise and everything was fine until I decided to install beats audio. My first mistake before installing the drivers was not backing up anything, yes I know that's bad. Okay so I installed the drivers with beats audio from the market then rebooted. Now I have no sound at all. No ring no music nothing. And my phone is running a lot worse now. Now come to find out apparently beats audio is not removable. The drivers can't be removed. I really need sound. Is there a way to unroot and completely factory reset the phone through factory settings? Please I desperately need help!

Unfortunately you cannot repair the audio. I had the same problem and it seems "Beats Audio" crashed the hardware. After many attemps to resolve the problem, I called VMobile and they replaced the phone. Hopefully you are covered under warranty.

I have at&t here at home and I'm wondering, if I was shopping in china, what band is At&t so if I see a phone htere i like I can bring it home and use it.

Thanks!

Also my at&t atrix is unlocked, do you think it will work in china with a local SIM?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiellie:
Dear friend, the unlocked versions of AT&T, Verizon, Orange and T-Mobile are all available for purchase in China but not so legally though, [yet overpriced for the risk the people take].

That being said, I hope what you have in hand should definitely be able to work in China.

If you are going for just a visit, you may not be able to find any blackmarket dealers unless you or any of your friends are good in speaking Chinese.

I you want to buy something legally from china then you have to pay extra money compared to the US,Canada or Europe.

For eg; if something costs around 700$ in US, you would have to spend around 900$ if you buy it from china. This applies to almost all smartphones and tablets from most popular brands except may be huawei, zte and oppo.

Beware, Chinese are good in KIRFs so be careful when you purchase things.

I suggest you buy smartphones and tablets from your home country, that way you could avail warranty.

If you are looking for non branded phones for use around < 1 year, then go for any Chinese local brand.

I know I wouldn't do that.

Decide for yourself, still having doubts, feel free to ask.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neodipo:
I had forgot to turn off automatically download updates, and now it has downloaded jellybean 4.2.2 I am afraid of selecting restart and install for 2 reasons, reasons I hope you can clarify for me please

1 my data.

Would an ota update affect the data already on my tablet? These are very important to me.

2 root.

My nexus 7 is tuning a stock rom but is already rooted. Would an ota update remove my root access. I love my root access :(.

3 battery

I have seen in this forum that the update is worse for battery life, whereas everywhere else, they claim it adds an extra 2 hours to battery life, please I would like an informed opinion. Thank you very much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
1 - It shouldn't affect your data, but a backup never hurts.

2 - You'll lose root, but it's easy to re-root. You can try using Voodoo OTARootKeeper or the switch in SuperSU Pro to try and maintain root while updating. It's never worked for me, but it has for others. If you're using stock recovery, your chances are improved. If you're not sure, the re-rooting process will take care of things. In other words, you've rooted once, you can do it again. And it's easier the second time around, because the device is already unlocked and you don't need to do that again.

3 - I don't know one way or the other about that one, at least so far.

After I left my previous employer my was lazy and didn't delete the Google Apps e-mail account from the company.

When my old boss deleted my account he actually first clicked the "Erase device" button out of curiosity before actually deleting the account.

I found out because my phone completely factory reset and also did another colleague who left the same day.

After setting my phone up again, without adding the aforementioned e-mail account, I experienced these factory resets nearly every other week or so. They happen randomly and I am not sure what is causing them, but doing something a bit more intensive or "new" seems to trigger it in some occasions.

It's very annoying as it deletes all my photos, music and what not, and as it happens randomly my back-ups are never "enough".

I had it sent back to Nokia, and they reinstalled the phone and now it comes back after a factory reset with different home images and what not.

But it still resets.

Any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourPartyBoy:
Find the original drivers and replace the beats audio. If you need to know which to replace do a search for awesome beats and check the files in the zip for the ones to replace. You will need to get the original files from a stock ROM. Or the custom ROM your using. You can just cross check which files were replaced. If any. That's probably best hope.

I had the same problem but I bought 2 Rises for $30 each just in case. The good news is I was able to grab the stock audio files from the other phone. The bad news is that it did not resolve the problem. In the end "Beats Audio" crashed the hardware and VMobile sent me a new phone. So for the bad news but that was my solution. I hope this helps! Just make sure your revert back to factory settings before returning the phone.

[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Hi guys. I just picked up a Rezound under 2 year contract (last contract, hopefully) with Verizon, so I thought I should introduce myself. I'm a college student in the Pacific Northwest, studying for a BS in Network Administration. I game competitively and mess with things like programming and Android stuff in my free time. I go by Purple or Purp, because they're easier than my full username.

When looking at upgrading my phone, I had been planning on going with a GNex, but VZW no longer supports or carries them, which made me sad. I ended up getting my Rezound for free though, because the independent vendor I went through is one I've been going through since 2004 and they're awesome. I don't need the fastest, biggest, bestest device, so this suits my productivity needs nicely, and I'm not in the position to switch to GSM or to another carrier right now.

I will undoubtedly be modifying the phone, but as I'm new to the community I'm going to sit tight and read lots for the next while (Already rooted though :silly:. I'll wait until I become familiar with this XDA neighborhood and the ROMs/kernels that have been developed for the device before I start getting my hands dirty, so to speak.

Any suggestions from you all on what to lean towards or lean away from would be appreciated.

Cheers, and happy President's Day. Hope you're all enjoying your day off, if you have one.
[HTC Rezound] sokrboot:
There are lots of good ICS ROMs which you could use as "daily drivers". If ur feeling more adventurous there are some very slick JB ROMs as well. I mostly use ROMs created by IamTheOneTheyCallNeo.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Welcome aboard. Sometimes our group can be a little rough around the edges, but I think we've all gotten quite a bit better at being tolerant. We've got some really awesome devs around here, most of them double up on rom development and kernel development just to keep it interesting.

We all tend to be fairly helpful too, so feel free to ask any questions that may come up. We've got a dedicated help thread in general maintained by neo, although there many other people jump in and answer when neo gets bogged down with real life. Also, most devs troubleshoot bugs in their own threads, and most (if not all) are incredibly active.

Enjoy, hope to see you around in some of these threads.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
My initial reaction to seeing anyone with this phone on a new contract is to tell you to take it back and get something with better battery life. The phone is really nice and performs great in all aspects except battery life. The are too many other options now with better battery life to be stuck with this phone for 2 more years. I understand that "free" is hard to beat though. If you don't mind the battery, then you will enjoy the Rezound. Welcome to the group.
[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks. It's definitely a change of pace from the Nexus group, I think I like it. Much less clutter, and slow-paced enough that issues that are brought up are resolved, rather than buried under post volume.

Admittedly, that's the biggest thing I've noticed since getting this phone Friday evening. But it doesn't bother me too much. As long as I can make it through the day (and I'm not a heavy user) I usually plug the phone into my computer when I get home and let it charge via USB, and use AirDroid for text messaging and such. I also have a car charger from a family member's previous HTC device, so travel is covered.

[HTC Rezound] Purpeltendire:
Thanks for your input. I think I mentioned this in my original post, but price was a HUGE factor in me getting this phone. If my vendor hadn't given me the large discount plus mail-in-rebate that he did, I wouldn't have gotten the Rezound. Actually, I probably wouldn't have upgraded. It was either the Rezound or the LG Spectrum 2 that interested me, as I felt that other phones didn't have the balance of specifications I wanted. The DNA would be nice, certainly, but there's still very little in the way of development compared to other devices, it is considerably more expensive, and I don't think I could use 4 cores if I tried, as I'm not a heavy user. The battery life would be a nice addition, sure, but as I said above the lack of it doesn't really bother me, and size is not an issue.
