Thanks for the wonderful info[emoji4] .

One more thing, my device officially supports 4.2.2 out of the box and has had no updates ever(officially).

But I have flashed a CM11 ROM to it in the past without any problem.

There was this ROM(4.4.4) for my phone that someone posted here at XDA, I was reading it's description in it's thread, and it says "ROM firmware required: 4.4.x", at the end of the description.

Last time I flashed 4.4.4(CM 11), I didn't change my firmware.

Could you shed some light on it?

And BTW about Tapatalk, I think he is trying to say that you can use the app on iOS without signing in with a Tapatalk account and still use it to manage all your forum accounts through it like you usually would.

I guess only difference here is that your app won't be synced with Tapatalk servers on iOS.

And I think the difference in app across the platforms is because different teams might be working on it for different platform, so Tapatalk's team for iOS must have decided to make a bypass for Tapatalk account(although I don't think they are independent to make those decisions), or maybe with the next few updates we'll have the same option on Android as well.

In response to your first post:

I think you can also flash stock updates from custom Recovery's as well, can't you?

In response to the second:

Exactly [emoji106] .

I would also like to add that many stock ROMs aren't AOSP(actually, I think mostly aren't).

Finally the third:

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I could be wrong but I don't think stock updates will flash through custom recovery, but there could be special cases where you can. I know that you can flash a custom ROM in stock recovery but only if the ROM has a stock kernel.

As for your question about that ROM requiring 4.4.x firmware, it might mean that the device needed to have a 4.4.x kernel on it so that the ROM would flash correctly. It could also mean that you needed the modem from 4.4.x because typically modem is not contained in a custom ROM, as I said in my explanation of what firmware is, the modem resides in the device separately from the ROM you flash. I could probably give you a more definite answer if you give me a link to the ROM and instructions that you are talking about.

Are you still trying to root your friends phone?

Have you looked into finding a stock rooted ROM and then maybe finding a way to flash it from extsdcard? You might can find a stock rooted ROM and converting it so that it flashes in stock recovery like an official update. You'll just have to make sure signatures are right before you flash in stock recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It gives no explanation of what they mean by 4.4.4 firmware required, but I'd be willing to bet that since the user that posted last before I did in that thread states that he has no mobile data but can use WiFi then that probably means that a 4.4.4 modem is required so that data works.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not even sure that you can flash it that way, it just seems that there MUST be SOME way to do it, after all, all it takes is getting the stock recovery to "see" your ROM as a stock update. I'm pretty sure that there is a way to take a stock firmware from .tar/.rar./.img and convert it to a stock flashable zip the same as a stock update with the correct updater script and compile it correctly then it should flash correctly. Someone may have already done this before but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere so I'm not sure but in theory it should be possible, difficult but possible.

I'm just gonna throw this out there out of curiosity.

I wonder if there is a way to make it possible to connect a smartphone/tablet/chromebook(android PC) to a non smart TV and not only be able to share data from the device to TV but give the TV smart TV functions as if the non smart TV were actually a smart TV?

I'm sure it wouldn't be possible with every non smart TV, such as the older non digital, non HD, cathode ray tube TV. But there must be some version/model of the newer non smart TVs that have hardware/firmware that would make it able to interpret any data coming from a smartphone/tablet/android device as if it were the "brain" or OS that drives a smart TV with the TV acting as the display.

I know there are already similar capabilities but they are limited and don't allow the TV to make full use of the android devices operating system as if it were the TV's, the current similar functions can only do certain things. I'm wondering if its possible to maximize the device to TV interface so that the two mesh into one virtual device with more than just data sharing capability.

Its just a thought so don't anybody start shooting holes all in it. Just saying there must be a way.

How to update Galaxy S4 and unroot in the process?

Disclaimer -- full-on n00b, recent convert from iOS and not too sure what I'm doing... :eek:

I used the CASUAL root tool to install TWRP on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 and everything went as planned.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/casual-root-recovery-for-the-att-samsung-galaxy-s-4/

But now a month later I've realized that I haven't used root for anything yet and I'm not advanced enough yet with Android to take advantage of whatever it is root offers. Maybe someday.

So I'd like to install the recent update to my phone (I337UCUAMF3?) which I understand will unroot the device. I downloaded the update using the built-in updater, and when the phone rebooted, I thought it might start the update on its own, but rather it dumped me into TWRP and asked me what I want to do.

And I don't know what to do.

Can anyone walk a true newbie through the process of unrooting and updating my phone?

Thank you very much.

x10

Hellow x10 comunity! I`ve managed to flash cyanogenmod 7 on my xperia x10, but now i have the next issue. I thought that if i change the phone`s software, that will allsow mean that the phone will be unlocked (as in network lock)... So, when i`ve inserted a diffrent SIM card, after i`ve inserted the PIN code, it didn`t ask me for the network code, so i thought that i`ve made it... So i thought!... Just that it seems like i don`t have network coverage, it`s like the phone doesn`t recognize other networks any more, just the one that i`m using now, wich is vodafone... A little advice please? How do i make it to recognize my other SIM?

Does it mather when i wipe the battery stat when its not fully load? Any calibration fault?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Wiping battery stats is seldom useful nowadays. For several years now, this has been incorporated into the Android OS. Specifically, every time you unplug the charger, if the battery level is 90% or more, the battery stats are wiped. Wiping the battery stats in recovery used to be a useful feature way back when Android couldn't do it (Cupcake? Donut?).

[General Questions and Answers] vishalgc:
Thnkx buddy changing data cable solved my problem
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Well, say your battery is at 50%, then you flash a new ROM. When the battery gets down to 40%, the battery stats you see in Settings -> Battery won't be accurate, since much of the battery usage was in another ROM. That, and apps like BetterBatteryStats won't have accurate information. If you can't wait until your first charge to >90%, you can wipe the battery stats in recovery; it only takes a couple seconds, anyway.

There's a very common misconception, however, that wiping the battery stats can somehow increase battery life.

i535

Hello!

I just have a general question:

I bought a Verizon I535 from a friend of mine (still in the box as it was a phone that was covered by their VZ insurance) and have been using it on AT&T for about a week now with no significant problems. I rooted the phone by following these steps from phonerebel[dot]com which worked like a charm. However, (and please forgive my ignorance) did this also unlock the phone? Or would I have to unroot and have my buddy ask VZ to unlock it via unlock codes?

The reason I ask is this, is that while I was researching how to restore MMS (can't do it for some reason) I kept noticing that others had to unlock it BEFORE the root while others were saying that the process of rooting always unlocks the device.

Does anyone have any insight on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Does this forum covers source check, I mean about buying online from chinese sites, somewhat cloud area. They seem pretty legit, consumer reviews and so on. If I can make public the site please reply me so I can have source checked by somebody.

Then how does it allow you to flash a stock update through recovery? The update is firmware, just flashed in recovery, I know there are parts of a stock firmware that are not contained in a stock update and can't be flashed through recovery because that part is meant to already be on the device before the update is applied, the update isn't the whole firmware like what you flash through fastboot but is it possible to decompile the stock firmware file then remove those parts that wouldn't be in a stock update then recompile it into the format that can be flashed in recovery and have the updater script in it and have it signed as if it is an update so that stock recovery sees it as the same as any other stock update.
