Dug as deep as I'm willing to go (a couple hours). Looks like this just doesn't work on 4.1.1, or at least on the Verizon incarnation of the Galaxy Note II 4.1.1. Logcat shows the file being downloaded but then the download-1.apk file is unable to be opened. There is some indication that it is downloaded in encrypted format and then an attempt made to install it as an un-encrypted file. I'd have to spend a lot more time on it to be sure but it looks like there's more code that needs to be changed in order for the non-asec flag to be carried on into other functions in the framework. I traced the code a half dozen function calls back and don't see anything obvious. Looks like it should work especially since the code inside that method is identical. So either some of the VZW authentication messes it up or it isn't 4.1.1 friendly. Don't really want to spend too much time on it since it's a no brainer to pull the app out of /mnt/asec anyway. Just a curiosity.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sage:
if anyone came here looking for a method to convert ASEC to APK rather than prevent them installed. you can run this script in a terminal emulator with root access.

It will transfer all your asec files to apk's no loss of data or reboot required!

#!/system/xbin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/system/lib"
PATH="/system/xbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin"

for ASEC in $(find /data/app-asec/ -name '*.asec')
do
echo "Deasec $ASEC"
PKG=$(basename $ASEC|cut -d'-' -f1)
echo "Package name $PKG"
if [ -d /mnt/asec/$PKG*/lib ]
then
echo "Relocate libs"
find /data/data/$PKG/ -type l -name lib -exec rm {} \;
cp -r /mnt/asec/$PKG*/lib /data/data/$PKG/
echo "Fix libs permissions"
chown -R system:system /data/data/$PKG/lib
chmod -R 755 /data/data/$PKG/lib
fi
APK=$(pm path $PKG|cut -d':' -f2)
echo "APK location $APK"
cp $APK /data/local/tmp/pkg.apk
chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/pkg.apk
pm install -r -f /data/local/tmp/pkg.apk && rm /data/local/tmp/pkg.apk
done
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
We use this in ICS devices so the issue isn't specific to platform version. The smali mod itself is fine, it's just a compiled version of a safe modification in sourcecode to tell PackageManager to turn off encryption when installing. Your device/ROM must have some other non-standard protection. Being a Samsung, probably some more encryption nonsense. Hard to diagnose because Samsung are terrible with releasing source code.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hadi_rena:
Hi, thanks for this awesome script, but when I try this script its return directory not found error. I check all directories / mount folder and there is accessible. Sorry I'm noob related to this...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sage:
try installing a terminal..

type

su

and allow root access

then type each line one by one enter after each.

Should work fine.

If you want to turn it into a single script. (.sh file). Then you will need use a linux or notepad++ to make it. If you make the script in windows it will not work.

you can then type sh filename.sh in terminal (after SU) to execute it.

Hit thanks if i helped.

Cheers.

Bad manifest here on Play Store 4.6.17

As far as I understand, packages for paid apps com from Play Store encrypted and get stored encrypted.

So I guess, that asec file in asec folder IS an encrypted package, came from Play Store, and if one will try to install it as a regular apk, the "Bad manifest..." error will occur. So it happens. Too bad.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] halfaddict:
Hi all, I've rooted a few verizon s3's with the following methods.. First time from ICS using rootdebugfs tool from one of the great guys here. Then my second phone took the JB update. So I had to ODIN to a stock VZW image and then run debugfs tool. The last few I've just used ODIN and flashed a sweet root injected stock JB image then ran EZ-Unlock and EZ-Recovery and put what I want on there.

So here lies the question. I'm doing my Grandpa's phone i747. Can I just Odin CWMrecovery to the phone and flash root.zip from clockworkmod? He is on stock JB? Am I doing the long method?

Any input is appreciated thankyou
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
you've got the right method. here's a link to same way. i attached it because inside it includes the .tar and all that for download. cheers

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ac17:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
My wife and I are considering taking our tmobile phones over to AT&T. There both unlocked... Note 2 & sg3. Question I have is would I have to flash AT&T modems and roms to be able to fully utilize the new network? Just don't want to end up with bricks. AT&T already told me both devices unlocked will work fine on the network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
Wat I'm asking is if I can utilize the lte on the t-889 if I put it on AT&T? I found a bunch of threads with mixed responses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
It should work fine but the only problem is you wont have LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
Why's that? AT&T says I will be able to use lte since my area has it. If not I probably won't do this. As I've said I've read mixed responses. Could I flash AT&T radios to utilize it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
It will give you weak service because att and t mobile run on different bands which is hardware related not software
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
I dunno about that as many said everything works but LTE. I have also read a few that says they have LTE enabled. That's what's confusing. I may go to AT&T tomorrow and have them test a sim before I decide to switch. I assume if I change to AT&T apn ill get better 4g speed at least. The limitation your speaking to its a locked radio for the t-889 that prevents LTE from being enabled currently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] petard:
I can't quickly tell, but if it has LTE support on band 17 (700MHz) then it will work. It's a T-Mobile phone so it has support on band 4 which AT&T only uses for a very small part of its LTE network.

Like you said the radio it comes with might be locked to not allow LTE. If you can flash an AT&T radio without issue then you'd be able to see if it works.

If I were to guess I'd say it would have the right band since it's basically the same phone that AT&T sells.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
Does it at least get hspa+ and 3G? I can wait for lte.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] petard:
It should. Just put an AT&T SIM in and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
I'll be going to AT&T tomorrow to test before I switch carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
The AT&T rep you spoke to definitely isnt informed on the hardware issue.

If you are switching over you should just sell those two phones you have and just buy new ones since its new activation Im sure you can get a good price on the phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
From what I understand its not hardware, it's because of a radio limitation currently. Lte isn't enabled yet on the t-889. That's why I asked if I could flash a AT&T radio. As long as I get 4g and 3G ill switch. The whole point was to save $$ on buying new devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eternalty:
Well please understand it's hardware. Been that way forever

Hi,

my german o2 XDA works perfect, just no bootloader anymore.

Does anyboy know how to put it back on?

I backuped my boot+ce on sd, so i have a bootloader on sd;

just the bootloader that already worked on my xda, won't come up again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I was playing around with kernels in fastboot the other day, and somehow my SD storage partition got all messed up. It's supposed to be 16GB, but it's only showing 5.8GB.

I ran the fastboot erase commands for boot, userdata, system, and cache, then flashed the jdq39 factory image. When I rebooted, the partition was only 5.8GB, and there were no files left on it.

I've tried formatting it in cwm recovery, but it just stays the same size. It's not showing any extra storage partition, but it almost feels like that's what happened somehow, and I just can't access the other partition. I'm also thinking that maybe the other partition I can't access possibly still contains my missing files, which I would love to recover, if possible, since I do have a nandroid on there I'd love to be able to restore!

I'm running UBUNTU and do not have windows, so if I need to do any terminal work I'm game...but I'm also a n00b, so please explain well :)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shrubberer:
I have an unlocked Rogers Samsung Captivate Glide (i927R) running gingerbread (since Kies doesn't want to update it to ICS, and I haven't gotten around to rooting it), and it seems to be eating through SD cards. I had a 32gb micro SD card in there, but the phone decided to stop reading it after about a month and a half. Nothing else can read the card either; not my computer, not another phone, not even my camera can read the card. This is the second 32gb card it's happened to, and I'm starting to think that maybe it's my phone. When I have the card in the phone, it simply says "Unavailable" when I check under storage, although the phone can still read other SD cards.

Does anyone else have problems with this phone (i927R) killing SD cards? Am I simply just overloading the SD card, or is there some possibility that the phone is burning them out? Should I go for a 16gb card and see if it doesn't burn out, since smaller cards seem less likely to burn out?

Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I had 2

What kind of cards did you use ? I had 2 corsair thumb drives go bad on me in mere weeks.. might be crap media .. I've used kingston and patriot no issues
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shrubberer:
The last one that burned out was a Transcend, and I don't remember what the first one was. but I don't think it was a particularly high quality brand. I will be sure to get a better quality card next time.

Do you think downsizing to a 16gb card would reduce the chances of a burnout?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
It's a crapshoot man ... I've had kingstons bad out of the box at a couple of sizes, the flash drives I had die were 16gb Corsair USB3's and rated with high speed..

just make sure you get a class 10 and read up on some reviews ... Newegg is really great for it, lookup the brand, price etc. and then to buy it at a local store and have them price match...

I should really get in the habit of backing up all the information on my phone more than once i run out of space :)

*EDIT* .. The current one I use is G.Skill 32GB .. Lifetime Warranty. Comes w/ full size SD adapter.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C1emen7s:
To add to the many other problems I seem to be having, my GPS has now stopped working. It first worked when I got the phone (a week ago) but now seems incapable of finding my location. All location services in google accounts, location settings, etc. are switched on but it just keeps saying my location is unavailable.

I'm really thinking of taking this phone back at this rate, or at least getting it exchanged because it's ridiculous. It shouldn't be this difficult just to get a phone to function fully.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeZoII:
+1 But am not gonna return it though...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theskig:

Hi,to everyone:

so,i'm newb,and i dont leave in the us,and i'm a proud owner of a Droid Dna.

As i dont be on the us,i cant have na OTA update,so i'm stock 1.15

And i have a few questions,help:

1) I'm going to do the Unlock using the Supercid,and do the htcdev process.

flash a new recovery,and install superuser.Correct?

the questions are:

1) Doing the unlock,i can place a ROM even the stock rom (deodexed or other)?

2) The process will be: remove the boot.img from the rom zip file

flash it manually,and them place the rom.zip file on the phone and flash it in recovery.

I think that the rom will not have the new kernel,so i think that i have to install it manually,will i be unrooted?

In this Post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080200) it says that is the new update Rom,but does it have the original kernel,or i have to install it via recovery or manually??

Thanks for all the help you guys can give me!
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
1, I believe the answer is yes

2. In most cases, the boot.img is provided along with the rom as a separate download so no need of extraction. It has to be flashed using adb from your pc -usually right before you install the rom.

3. If you allow the ota update before you root you can not root, If after you've rooted and bootloader is unlocked, it will download but won't install-at least it did not for me. If you relock the bootloader and flash a to stock, I heard you can get the ota but you will not be able to unlock it again. Not sure on that part. Rumor says that this will get fixed soon but as f right now no.

I know we have quite a few Iphone users in here so I thought I'd do this write up.

This case is amazing! If you have used them on the Galaxy S3 you know what im talkong about.

Looks:

It is a very industrial looking case. It looks rugged yet stylish. I love the black with the shiny letters; it really makes my phone stand out.

Fit:

This case offers a very tight fight. I must admit it's hard to take off once it's on but that just proves that it fits the phone perfect. No loose rubbery feeling here.

Everything else:

Well the case itself is quite thin. My phone doesn't feel like a brick and yet it feels vwry protected. I like that a screen protector was included; by the way it works great. It is a good thickness and feels just like glass. All the buttons work great and the cutouts were big enough that I've had no issues with chargers or headphones.
