Got two questions.

First. How do I update a rooted A3 SM-A300FU (build number A300FUXXU1ANL4) with Android 4.4.4 to Android 5.0.2? Does someone have some information about this?

My second question is rooting an A3 SM-A300FU that already has Android 5.0.2 (don't know the build number, more recent buy (last week)). There is quite some information on the A3 mentioned in my first question, but obviously not on the more recent A3.

Is there a thread on Android do and Don't on rooting? I have searched on here and maybe I'm not putting in the right phrase. I am going into this trying to find out from a (know nothing about hacking) point of view. Cause I'm not a hacker. I want to learn so I bought this app and joined this forum. To hopefully open my eyes on what I can do. Been lurking this forum for about 2 years or so and finally decided to ask. Basics 101 tutorial on Android OS. Would be great thanks ahead.
[General Questions and Answers] ZipAddict:
Welcome to the party! Rooting is not illegal. And nothing u will find on this site is discussing illegal activities so dont worry. When i first started hearing about rooting i thought that rooting a phone was illegal and that it was just for getting apps for free. Then i realized that i was way wrong and started learning about it. Im excited for u to have reached this point! Rooting is the easiest part in my opinion. Everything after that is where u need to be careful (and by careful i mean basically read directions, make a nandroid backup, have patience, and dont do something for ur device that is meant for another device.)

Here is a thread that will explain android terminology .

And here is a thread by my friend [MENTION=5302753]The_Merovingian[/MENTION] that may help u net better results while searching.

Buying this app will most likely be the best investment u ever made. But before u begin your journey to bring ur device to its full potential, please tell us what device model #, android version, and baseband version u have (this info should be under android settings-about phone). And kindly put this info in ur signature so that others dont have to keep asking u this before helping. Most everything u do here will need to be specifically for ur device model (for example what works on the sprint gs6, will break the tmobile gs6 when done to it. They have different model #s)

Here is where u would find out which method of rooting will likely work for u.

To give u a very brief idea of life after rooting i will say that u can change just about anything about ur phone. Its speed, battery life, looks, behaviors, android version, privacy, colors, advertisements, backups, etc., etc., etc.! The possibilities are almost endless! Anytime u said, "i wish my phone could do this." Or, " i wish my phone didnt do that". U will then be in control to modify these things.

But before pulling the trigger, please provide the info i requested so that we can let u know any dos or donts, as we cannot make a general statement on that without knowing ur specific situation. Thanks

Outgoing calls unknown in log

I tried several dialers, and the problem persists. When I dial a number not in my contact list, it shows up as "Unknown" in my call log, and the number is not saved (see attached pic). This makes redialing a number not in my contacts difficult. What is the issue, and is there a solution?

Thanks for any help.

Move all your contact into simcard or make backup format all device and don't use third party app if after format u still facing issue go to nearest service center this might be ime band issue which is hardware if u flashed custom ROM recently, flash stock back maybe ROM have issue if u facing in stock firmware too then ur ime band need to change

Don't panic :)

Don't worry, it will probably work.... let us go step by step. Did you see this post here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2023354

If it is absoultely the same device like you have, read it carefully and go step by step, it sounds good what she did. Just skip the "Kies" part if your drivers are already installed, Kies software likes to work in the background and if it is installed on your PC, you must be sure before you want to use Odin that the "Kies" doesn't appear in the task manager of your PC.

And try to read few more threads before you start. Don't be hasty, it is worth to invest some time in this, cool thinking is always better :)

Good luck!

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the ugly default contact picture that comes up on incoming/outgoing calls and in the contacts list?

When is efuse blown during MF3 update on AT&T SG4?

Hi all,

This is my first post here! I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 on AT&T on original firmware (MDB) that I had intended to root, but procrastinated for a long time until I received an OTA update yesterday at 3am. It kept bugging me to either Continue or Remind Me Later. I figured this was a firmware update that would prevent proper rooting in the future, so I finally made my way over here to review the required steps etc. Little did I know that after 12 hrs, right at 3pm, the update process would continue on its own, showing me a "process will continue in 30 sec" message with no option to remind me later. I saw it happening, so I tried to figure out how to stop the process, but sure enough, after 30 sec, the message went away for a few seconds, and then the phone rebooted. I didn't know what else to do, so as it rebooted to Recovery and then began the install, I ripped off the back and pulled the battery. The install got as far as 26% - the first 24% or so was "installing" and after that, changed to "updating". If I try to start up again, it will follow this same process.

After doing a bunch of research on how to prevent the installation of MF3, it seems that I can use ODIN to flash the original firmware. I confirmed that I am still able to get into ODIN mode. However, I'm not able to get into the standard recovery mode, as I guess the recovery process has already been updated to perform the MF3 install.

Here's my question - at what point during the [OTA download] > [prompting to continue the install] > [install] process does the efuse get blown, such that one can no longer downgrade to prior firmware? I ask because if it has not been blown yet, then I can still flash to original stock firmware via ODIN. However, if the efuse was blown in any of the steps prior to the reboot > install, then using ODIN to flash to original stock (i.e. MDB) will result in a brick. Can anybody shed light on this?

Thanks and grumbles!
[General Questions and Answers] SapientAgent:
Changing the screen Refresh Rate

Hi XDA,

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone involved in this site. The experience has been very enriching so far.

I have a Cherry Mobile Razor which I bought here in the Philippines. Specs are as follows:

- Mediatek MT6589 Quad-core Cortex A7 Processor

- PowerVR SGX 544MP

- 1GB LPDDR2

- 540x960 qHD IPS LCD Screen

- 4GB Internal Storage

-16 GB SDcard/ External Storage

- Android Jellybean 4.2.1

- 1750mAh Battery

Now, it is a sweet device for it's price point. Catch is, the screen refresh rate is locked to a snail-pace 22Hz. That's right, 22Hz. The big difference between the amount of frames the device can process and the rate it can spit images out on the screen is so big it shows as a laggy platform for a myriad of 2D applications. You can even feel the "display latency" when typing on the on-screen keyboard.

The question:

I wish to edit the refresh rate setting on the device and set it to about 60Hz. I am rooted and read somewhere that settings are located in the kernel. I am thinking of editing the boot.img in my device, either the manual way via ADB or through a kernel kitchen. But, before I do anything rash, am I looking at this correctly? Are there other things I need to consider and know like lcd screen specs, etc.,... ????

Did you wipe before installing? You should always do a factory reset in recovery before flashing a new ROM otherwise you're probably going to end up with issues. Try wiping and reflashing.

[General Questions and Answers] Nitin maan:
If you didn't believe then its fine its not about log and you have not read instructions carefully before going to service center I already mention that's

1. That's this problem maybe comes in ROM "custom ROM" becoz maybe who cook ROM was not able to test every app and he just cooked and packed it in hurry and also sometimes becoz of binaries issue some app don't flash properly if they flash they are not ported correctly

2. If this happening in stock ROM which means "firmware" firmware that's is not touched yet mean not flash any recovery or any custom zip

3.sometime hardware issue becoz sometime hardware don't not respond properly that's why I said u have problem in ime band (ime band is actually nothing I used local language when I say ime band based your "broadcast hardware that's helps you to make you call" signal and all that's stuff's

That's the explanations by me

If u have problem in stock firmware that's its surly hardware issue otherwise just flash stock firmware

And it will be fixed

I m sure flashing stock firmware will fix this issue

And sometimes knowledge is not gain on form's or not post sometimes its comes from experience

Hi xda!

I have a small problem. I have deleted entirely the google history and since this action, when I am connected to my Google account and am typing, the recent searches are not shown in the google search bar. Normally, when there is nothing in the google search bar but I have put the cursor, it shows the three last searches. When I am disconnected of the Google account in the browser, it shows the recent searches. It does that on all the browsers which are installed when the phone comes out of the box: stock browser, chrome and google app (the problem is not here with Firefox for example). I have already tried clearing data of the browsers, and deleting and then re-adding the google account without success.

Download and Odin flash TWRP 2.7.2.0: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../TWRP_2720.tar

1) If your phone is rooted, download Odin

2) Download the TWRP recovery for your phone that I mentioned above. Make sure your download ends in ".TAR" this is important.

3) Bring your phone into download mode by turning it off and then holding POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME buttons at the same time until a screen shows up giving a warning about installing custom roms. then press the VOLUME UP button to continue.

4) If odin is open, only "AUTO-REBOOT" and "F. RESET TIME" should be checked. Nothing else!

5) Attach your phone in download mode to your laptop. Odin should recognize it by the ID:COM box turning blue. If not, you need the latest drivers from Samsung before continuing.

6) After you connect your phone, press "AP" (or PDA for earlier versions.)

7) Locate the TWRP recovery that you downloaded in .TAR form.

8) Click Start

9) It should flash Recovery and Reset. Do not remove phone until it says PASS or SUCCESS

10) Enjoy
