Problem with sm-g7106 device

Hi,

I have a sm-g7106 device with Android version 4.4.2 and build number JKS36C.G7106ZNUANB1. As far as I can see from this build number said firmware should correspond to Android 4.3 version, and not 4.4.2 as it states in phone info.

I'm thinking of flashing it with new firmware because the phone is not working well, but I'm confused as to version I should choose. Could someone please help me with this?

Depends on the model number. Some are the same as Verizon some are the same as sprint. If its sph-l710 (sprint model) which strait talk does use then use sprint Roms and just apply strait talk APN.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There's a plethora of ROMs for the straight talk S3, I'm on one right now. You'll probably end up with the model that has the baseband that ends in H2, if so then you'll have to download the H1 baseband firmware and Odin flash it to downgrade to the H1 so you can root the phone, root doesn't exist for the H2 baseband but the H1 is easily rooted. It can be completely customized without a PC other than when Odin is used, root, recovery and ROMs can all be done straight from the device. The device is easy to mod but there are some possible dangers that can be encountered because there are no specific Recoveries, ROMs and kernels for it, you'll have to use the d2lte(older ROMs) and d2vzw ROMs, you'll also need a SIM card, preferably a Verizon 4g SIM to have everything working correctly such as MMS, if not a Verizon 4G SIM then any other CDMA(not GSM) SIM will get you data and service but you won't have stock MMS, you'll have to use a third party MMS app, the stock SMS works fine but the MMS doesn't. If you get the Verizon 4g SIM it takes a couple of simple edits to get the stock MMS working. You'll have to have the SIM for the lollipop ROMs and the last of the Kitkat ROMs, if you don't want to use a SIM or dont have one then there are KK ROMs from earlier last year that work just fine with no SIM. If you get the phone I can help you with anything you need for it and point you to any files you'll need.

Don't try unlocking it in any way, that only hard bricks it. And I can get you setup with safeguards against the possible dangers involved with flashing the Verizon stuff on it. The biggest danger is accidently wiping out the IMEI but it is easily backed up to protect against that.

There's also an AT&T version, but I think the Verizon version is all that's on the shelves now. I haven't seen anyone with the at&t or sprint version in over a year. Since they updated the kernel in the Verizon version(H2 baseband) that's all that's been around, they pulled all the other versions(at&t, sprint and the Verizon H1) from the shelves just before releasing the Verizon H2.

IR cut removing from nexus device

Hello everyone,

I searched the whole forum for an answer and found only 1 old thread..

I tried to find videos or any instructions, but wasnt successful..

My question is:

Is possible to remove the IR-Cut filter from any nexus device?

Is it placed on the sensor? Or it is part of the lens? Is it a difficult process?

(If you know any other device, not only nexus devices, that the ir-cut removing is simple there, I would be happy to know..)

What Odin are you using? Put tar in PDA slot (or ap) phone in download mode. Make sure Odin says added. Click start. Sometimes you need the original cord. Make sure its not a USB 3.0 port. Are you sure you don't have the triband model? That needs a diff firmware.

CF Auto Root - Note 4 SM-N910F - Root failure.

Hi,

I'm very new to rooting, moding etc. I've only ever used Cyanogenmod Installer on an S3 & S4, which is so simple. Now, as my Note 4 is not supported by the Installer, I'm trying the processes manually and having difficulty. My both attempts to Root my Note 4 have failed. I've tried with ODIN 3.09 & 3.07. My current 5.0.1 versions Baseband number ends in BOC3 and the Chainfire file I have downloaded mentions BOB4. Is this the reason my Rooting attempt is failing?

Sorry for possibly asking a stupid question but as I say, all this is new to me.

Many thanks

Craig.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed on your computer. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled (in settings/developer options). Odin 3.09 should be sufficient. The Bob4 auto-root might work but I obviously don't want to tell you to use it. Why not Odin twrp recovery onto your phone and then copy the latest supersu.zip to your device and flash it in recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] Craig_D:
Thanks for replying my question, greatly appreciated.

As far as I know I have all the latest drivers installed (Kies) and developers & debugging active. The BOB4 auto root hasn't worked, as you can see from those screenshots.

I don't know how to install TWRP or what file etc to use. It's all new to me and very overwhelming the amount of information available on it. I'd ask you to link me what files it is I need but I don't expect you to have to help such a clueless twat like myself. I just wish I could use the Cyanogenmod Installer. I don't want to change ROM's all the time. I just want CM on my phone and I'd be happy. I'd better quit before I brick my phone. Can't win em all as they say.

Cheers.

[General Questions and Answers] madbat99:
here is the page for downloads for twrp for the note 4. You didn't mention which note 4, so they are all there. Get the .tar file for your model and install it with Odin. Put phone in download mode and put tar in PDA (or ap) slot and click start. Then you can use twrp recovery to install a zip of cyanogen just like you did with cyanogen recovery. Wipe data, cache, and system, then install zip. Make sure you make a full backup first.

The only thing I would add to what they've already told you is to make sure kies is completely closed and not running(even in the background), close it or end task with task manager before you use Odin, kies will interfere with Odin.

[General Questions and Answers] Craig_D:
Do I first need to be rooted to install TWRP? Because I'm having difficulty rooting the phone. I think it might be because my baseband number ends in BOC3 but the chainfire auto root file says BOB4 next to it. Purely speculation on my part though but I don't know why the rooting procedure is failing, I seem to have everything covered.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, typically a device has to be rooted to install custom recovery, but that isn't always true, some devices must be rooted after the recovery is installed, it just depends on the device, there is no definite this way or that way, that's the bane and boon of modding android.

Tapped under ice from my Ice Cold lollipopped S3
[General Questions and Answers] madbat99:
No you shouldn't have to be. This actually roots the device. If you wanted to stay stock and be rooted, you would use twrp you just installed to flash SuperSU to complete the root process. But since you want cyanogenmod you can skip it. Cyanogen comes rooted.

I'm giving up before, If I haven't already, brick my phone and hope Cyanogenmod support my phone for their installer.

Thanks everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can't find a non PC method then you can download a new copy of windows in .iso format and either burn it to a disc or make a bootable USB drive with it then reinstall windows and go from there, you won't need a product key, it gives you so many days to activate but it can be used to do whatever you need to do before that time is up.

You might even have a factory installed recovery for windows that can be used to restore your laptop back to everything that it had out of the box but you'll lose anything else you've installed or stored on it unless you back all your personal stuff to a USB drive or another hard drive.

To add or enhance kernel level features and operations like over clocking of the CPU. Or double tap to wake (or any wake gestures). The list goes on. CPU governors, thermal throttling, etc. Depends on the kernel. If you find a kernel for your device, the thread will contain all of the info; like features, change log, installation instructions and compatible Roms. Since not all kernels are compatible with all Roms.

I hate it as much as you guys do, BUT, you have to remember that not everyone that comes here knows English, they may SPEAK it pretty good but they can't WRITE it very well. I myself get going too fast typing ahead of myself when I'm on mobile and frequently get screwed by spellcheck and predictive text and don't even realize until after I press send(the most aggravating thing about using a mobile device).

I can relate to users not being good with English and misspelling or being grammatically incorrect or getting their syntax wrong, I speak Spanish pretty well but sentence structure gets me all the time when I try writing or typing it, the placement of their nouns, verbs and other parts of speech gets me all out of whack.

Take it easy on the little guys, they can't help it.

But on the other hand the mistakes made by those that obviously are English speaking is another story altogether(mostly dumbass Americans that have devices that are smarter than they are).

Will the ported apps gone if you updated the firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] Extoid:
I heard OTA updates broke root, but does this count as one? If so is there and exception?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OTA updates from your manufacturer or service provider kill root as far as I know. Some of the custom ROMs we use have OTA updates also but they don't kill root, root is part of the custom ROMs so it is retained after updating on that particular ROM, most ROMs are designed to disable stock updates so that you don't get hit with a stock update unaware and lose your root access. You gotta be careful with stock updates because sometimes the stock updates change your firmware to a firmware that has no known root method or even can't be rooted. In fact, sometimes OTA updates are pushed to devices just so the manufacturer or provider can kill your root access, they generally dont like users having root access because they get tired of having devices returned after being rooted and get screwed up to the point of not being able to fix them, as you know rooting voids your warranty but the devices that get hard bricked and then returned cost them a lot of money because with it being hard bricked they cant tell that the device was rooted so they are forced to replace it, also the prepaid providers and the subsidiary providers that use another networks towers dont like devices being rooted because a rooted device can be setup with the hotspot ability which costs them more because of the amount of data that can be pulled through a hotspot. So, unless you like stock I would avoid any updates from manufacturer or service provider.
