[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] McBrand:
Hi Guys,

I am really new to the rooting customary process. Pardon me if there are information that I am not aware of. Okay, I always wanted to root to install apps that were restrictive to what I want and how to manage the phone properly. But I bought my Note 2 in Singapore, which is why I was hesitating as most of the guides were for AT&T and other American phone companies.

I was hesitating but a friend of me referred me to a very simple clip to root with using Odin

Needless to say, I rooted the phone and was able to install the couple of applications I wanted though there were a few I still couldn't find replacements for (Market Unlocker, AdAway).

However, I find myself not being to use ROM Manager to backup and change ROMS and being different with how normal people rooted. I think it has got to do with the how I had my phone rooted.

Please advice how I can place myself in what the general public is using as it would be easier for me to configure the phone if I were to try looking for assistance in the future.

Should I unroot and root using the XDA developer suggested way (I found the clip on YouTube but it wasn't for the firmware 4.1.2, thus I hesitated) ? After rooting my phone says its firmware is 4.1.1

Actually, if someone could also answer me whether

1) I can update my phone after rooting or do I need to unroot and update and root it again ?

2) Is the furthest update for Note 2 is 4.1.2 and in order to go for further updates I need to root ?

Again, pardon my knowledge on rooting. Thanks

Please do more research before doing anything but I would question if you have a custom recovery installed? You could use GooManager on the market to install a custom recovery (Open GooManager -> menu -> "Install OpenRecoveryScript") but check your phone model number first and make sure it matches the file you are about to flash. This would enable you to work with flashing and such. Also check your model number I believe the Verizon phones have locked bootloaders and don't know if your will or not (I believe this adds steps to flashing a custom recovery.) Wish I could be of more help.

I cant seem to get over 500kbps on my ATT connection, does anyone now any good APN settings? My Tmobile Nexus 4 gets over 9mbps while sitting next to it. Both are HSPA+

Why not use your nexus 7 over t-mobile network?

It may be that you just have a stronger connection to t-mobile's network where you are.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knitler:
Att has coverage in more areas, so by having one on tmo and the other on Att I was hoping to make sure that I can always get data access. Looks like the trade off is better coverage, worse speeds.
[Networking] XDAUSER:
OK, it's time for some stupid questions:

Can I connect the XDA1 directly to a LAN to access the internet? Can I buy a "network" card for the XDA1?

Can I access the internet directly from XDA1 connected to LAN attached PC via ActiveSync?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
[Networking] paradox:
yup, you can use your XDA to Internet via ActiveSync....

no LAN card for XDA as there is no SDIO.

or else, GPRS or dialup is your other options.
[Networking] XDABob:
A company called Portsmith sell an Ethernet Adapter (MobileDox) which you can connect to XDA 1 using a serial 'hot-sync' cable.
[Networking] md2020:
why ?

to expensive

as said go via aycnc

and you can setup to use the network that way >:)

on pc setup VPN network

on pda setup to talk to that network ie

myworks --> computer network address -- ie 192.168.100.100 etc

open up internet explorer etc waaaaa laaaa

[HTC Wildfire S] Virus03:
mine was solved now :) Just do these steps :)

Download a Recovery image on your PC, I attached one recovery.img below !

Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on your PC! If you can't understand this Tutorial, google for one in your language!

After you installed ADB and Fastboot drivers on your PC, you have to connect your phone in fastboot mode (Bootloader > Fastboot) via USB Cable to your PC. Then it should say "Fastboot USB" on your phone's screen. Open a command prompt on Windows - click the Windows button and "R" at the same time on your keyboard, in the search field type "cmd"! After, type - with phone connected- :

cd C:\android\

and enter!

Then, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and wait for it to finish. Select "reboot bootloader", then "recovery" and you should be done!

Wait a few seconds, until in cmd it says "finished total time x.x.x.x.". Then disconnect your phone, close the cmd window. In Fastboot select "Reboot Bootloader". Wait for it to reboot. Select "Bootloader", wait for HBOOT finishing its thing. Then select "Recovery"!

say thanks if u solve ur prob from this method.

Do you use both? My sister has the same problem, on her old optimus elite she gets internet and if she keeps the phone on she doesn't get internet on her one v. You upgraded from the rise to the v or what?

[HTC One V] TechDad378:
Data Problem on Virgin Mobile

I had the same problem with the Kyocera Rise on VMobile. It turns out there was a hardware failure. If you go to settings->about phone and scroll down to the section called "Harware Version" and "Baseband" you may see the problem. If "Harware Version" states "NV Fail" and the "Baseband" states "unknown", then you will need to do a "NV Flash". I searched and could not find anything on how to do "NV Flash" on the Rise.

For now there are 2 solutions. 1) if you are able to pull up the dial pad to make calls, then VMobile can help you reprogram the phone. 2) If you cannot pull up the dail pad to make calls then you will have to contact VMobile for a new phone. Hopefully your phone is still under warranty. I hope this helps!

5/17: UPDATED to v4.1.10

In case anyone is interested, I found a very nicely themed (inverted holo blue) Market v4.1.10 on the SG3 I9300/I9305 Forum... link below. Works perfect and looks great on the GNote2 (I'm running CleanROM ACE v4.9, but I'm sure it will work perfectly with any of our roms). I pulled the "Phonesky.apk" out of the zip and installed it (via Root Explorer) to /system/app. (first copying to /system to fix permissions (rw.r..r..), then moved to /system/app). Reboot... walaa. Enjoy and be sure to hit Kryten2k35 (UltimaROM developer) THANKS ! Remember to backup first (just in case) and copy your current Phonesky.apk to a safe location if you wish to revert (but Google appears to be rolling out the new v4.1.6 now anyway). If you already have the new Google v4.1.6, you'll need to uninstall updates, then move this inverted v4.1.6into /system/app. I opted to install this way as I'm not sure if the install scripts are the same between S3 and GN2... so didn't want to flash his zip strait way. Enjoy. Screenshots in Post#2

Update: see posts below... other have reported back you can flash the installable zip on the Note2

Do u just flash the zip?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
It's in an installable zip for another device... so not advisable to flash (not sure if the binary scripts / partitions are the same as our device). I just picked the inverted theme zip I wanted and downloaded it. DON'T FLASH IT. Extract it and pull out the Phonesky.apk (in Ultima/app folder). Go to Manage Applications and Uninstall Updates for Google PlayStore... then copy the new Phonesky.apk to /system... and fix permissions (to RW.R..R..)... then MOVE to /system/app.... reboot. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO A NANDROID (backup your system, data, boot partitions) FIRST... in case things go south you can restore.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziga1221:
Hello.

So let's get straight to the point. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet with 4.1.2 installed. Since the new update, my tablet won't connect to schools network, which had EAP method TTLS and phase 2 authentication PAP. It doesn't need a User certificate, but we have a CA certificate.

Previously it worked flawlessly on 4.0.4 and on 4.1.2 for about a month, but then suddenly a weird error appeared. It says, "the password is incorrect". I tried modifying the network numerous of times, forgetting it and resetting the tablet, but none of it helped. I'm using the Wi-fi hotspot from my telephone to connect to the internet in school. I can assure, that there are no problems with the school network since all of my friends can connect to it (applies for every operating system) and the speed also isn't the problem, it's a 100/100.

I don't know if this is the right or wrong Category, but I look forward to every answer.

Best regards.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mercermtn:
I have the asus TF700T, It isn't unlocked. I rooted when I was in ics, then used root keeper when I went to 4.1.1. I updated to the new 4.2.1. before doing the ota update to 4.2.1, I temp unrooted using voodoo ota root keeper.

I lost blue tooth, which thanks to the members here I fixed the permissions, and now have blue tooth again. I think i only have partial root ? I have the superuser app in app drawer ( proper terminology?) Titanuim back up is working and my previous apps are still frozen. titanium says I have root. I also am able to use previous apps that require root, that were installed before updating to 4.2.1 Root explorer, and quick boot.

In Voodoo rootkeeper all the boxes are ticked, Superuser app installed, device rooted, root permissions granted, /system supports root protection, protected su copy available. However when I use root checker, or got root, it says I don't have root? A app I tried "have root, says found su binary, this binary program is used to gain root access, although it is not always usable by 3rd party applications, your device does not appear to have root. I noticed That I didn't see busy box, although titanium backup says it there? I believe that titanuim back up has it on version of busy box? I tried installing busy box with Jrummy busybox installer, it says I have root, however didn't install busy Box. I also tried to install busy box from the market, it said i was not properly rooted? Is this a permissions situation?

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I need fairly layman terms. I can understand what I read but am not advanced as some others.

I was much more comfortable with my OG droid, those were the easy days. I also have a rooted droid 4 running JB 4.1.1 which means i suppose I'm not a complete noob, but not too much better. Thanks again in advance

Did you go into the app draw and launch the superuser app?

[Asus Transformer TF700] mercermtn:
got root

Okay I got a brain fart and tried this: I unrooted with Voodoo root keeper, I then retried the motochopper exploit again, and Voila it rooted. all the apps are asking for superuser permission again, I hit the thanks button, Thank you!! every once in awhile the even a rookie gets it right! :) like they say "even the blind squirrel gets a nut or two"
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Hey glad it's working. I'm about to write up a manual su push. Have fun.
[Asus Transformer TF700] IT Wannabe:
I have very close to the same problem. Bluetooth was dead, and I managed to fix that with ADB shell and twiddling the permissions. Then I noticed that nothing that uses root worked. I have had my TF700 rooted since day one, though I never unlocked the bootloader.

After the update, when I tried to su to root in Better Terminal Emulator Pro, I got a huge list of java functions showing a permission error occurring. I tried cold booting twice in a row, then I did a factory reset, then I tried the motochopper method... Nothing has worked. I even used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to "Temp Unroot" and ran the motochopper batch file again.

One thing I have noticed is that the su binary (/system/bin/su) is owned by "root root", while everything else is owned by "root shell". Another thing is that after the OTA update, my tablet had two users, and I deleted the one that "wasn't me". Was that user important to keep? I'm wondering if that user had permission to become root, while my old user lost that permission somehow...

Currently have an S3 and debating this also. I'm excited about the sound performance and low light photos but worried about overall camera sharpness and lack of SD slot.

Yes, I came from S3 to Droid DNA, and LOVE the screen and overall performance! hTC one must have at least equally great screen and even faster performance.

The only thing I didn't used to when switching from S3 to Droid DNA was that I liked the wifi toggle in notification of S3. But after I installed an app called "notification toggle" from google play, everything works great! Didn't miss much about S3 except for the beautiful covers!

[One (M7) General] dlads:
I've actually got both the S3 and HTC One and have an S4 prototype to use at work and out of the three of them i have to say that the HTC is my favourite, it's really grown on me as a device, i was ready to ditch it the other day and get my money back but theres a problem with that which is in the process of being resolved but in the mean time i'm loving using the phone, everything just works at the drop of a hat. Having used the S4 today and saw some benchmarks in front of me the HTC One actually won on every one ? Which was weird as i'd read that it's supposed to be the other way around.

Saying that it is a prototype and not the actual S4 but the hardware is there, maybe not the finished software though so that probably played a part and it's not my phone so i have no idea what was installed.

I'm guessing that when the S4 is released it's going to be a beast, but as i said i still found myself going back to the One, it's build quality and those speakers are just incredible, the screen is like a mini cinema.

My only gripes (and they're not major) CRT probably won't be on the Sense roms, Bluetooth support for apps like sixaxis doesn't work (hopefully it will in the future but it actually doesn't work at the moment and will probably need a stock android rom like CM to get it to work)

Camera isn't as good as i'd have hoped for.

And lastly for me, battery life has been poor and the phone has been hot when gaming (rooted or not, it has got hot at times, but then again, it's so slim so i suppose that's to be expected)

At the moment i would say either the S4 or the HTC One is a worthwhile upgrade from the S3 seeing as both of them were able to smash quadrant into pieces and score 12500 (ish) and the s3, from my experience has only been able to manage 6500, this is seen throughout both phones and they both perform so well it's unreal.

This year should be a good one for development, difficult decision to make between the two of them, but a no brainer coming from the S3.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

The pictures i've taken have been either roughly the same or superior on the S3, low light might be there but in terms of a quality pic, then no the S3 is the better camera, apertature aside, it is only a 4MP camera at the end of the day and definition has suffered because of that.

Best damn 4MP camera i've ever used though, but i wouldn't say it's better than the S3, we got a few and blew them up and yea, s3.
