Hey guys, I was following instructions on this thread ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38571636 and I got stuck at #5.

I've installed the drivers .exe file on my PC but when I plug my phone in afterwards it doesn't seem to do anything(its supposed to install the drivers).

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Try redownloading the .img file. Did you unlock the bootloader properly? I guess you have about 10 seconds to respond on the phone before it reboots again.

Uninstall any software for the phone. Go to Device Manager, remove anything related to the phone (look under the name of the phone, look under USB devices, etc.), reboot PC. Repeat steps 5 & 6 again.

Also if you are on a windows PC insist using dl'ed drivers and not allow windows to install or search for drivers itself...(usually the have disk button or similar will work)

Also confirm that after PC install ensure phone is in boot loader (Odin or DL mode all mean the same)

OK, you need to run the cygwin setup and look for the 'ncurses' package and install it. That should solve your missing tput command.

umm how do i run the cygwin part... is it included in the apg package? Initially when i ran the Apg installer it extracted both the cygwin and java packages.

And as of now i scoured the net and found a Cygwin package from here software.jessies.org/salma-hayek/cygwin-setup.html

and installed it including the option of installing the ncurse package.

Im kinda stuck as to do what from here...

[General Questions and Answers] SilentStrider:
A small advice just saying it's a chinese brand it doesn't mean you will get people lining up to tell you what to do or how to root it.

You should say the name of your device's manufacturer and of course what model it is to start with....but be advised that if it is a clone device you ain't gonna find much of a specific information on how to root it!

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
To be clearer, this is how i think it works :

ROMs are .zip files and can be installed by just going into install/update .zip

Gapps are like .apk files and MUST BE installed by going into the mount option in recovery mode

ANY XDA USERS please comfirm if this is correct

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 AM ----------

Look for New Macław 's Carbon Kitkat 4.4.4 ROM for the Galaxy s3 mini (novafusion.pl)

Also look for "Tutorials" and "How to install Google Apps?". The method is there.
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
ok, i'm done. the only gapps pkgs. that i have ever downloaded in my short 2+ yrs. of being rooted and modding were in ZIP FILE FORMAT.

[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
I think Gapps and .apk files are the same and are in .zip format, but they have to be applied like .apk files. It must be because theyre different to a ROM.

Your picture does show the method i read. It says "mount" in the "/system" option.

That must be correct.
[General Questions and Answers] Manuel15:
James, he's right, the Gapps are .zip files, so you have to flash it. Just like the Roms
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Hi Manuel15,

I think i am right. Although a ROM and Gapps are both .zip format, you have to flash Gapps differently, because they are different to a ROM.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I said I wouldn't help you anymore, but I will here. This is soooo wrong. You obviously won't believe me; since I've already told you several times how to flash GApps; so wait for more responses, or use Google and find thew answer on your own.

Enter "how do you install gapps" into google, and come back here to tell me how wrong I was.

HERE, I'll even give you a link that I already gave you the second or third time I told you how to flash GApps.

Or search on your own. You'll get the same answer.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Sorry if im being rude, but the method seems to be a bit different.

Novafusion.pl says you have to mount the Gapps file, other people are saying you dont have to.

I only insist on the point because i really do fear a method thats even slightly wrong could do damage.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
And this coming from someone who has more patience than almost anyone on this site.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

You've asked about 14 times now how to flash GApps. ONE guy told you one way. EVERYONE ELSE told you a different way. Pick one of the two and go with it.

Or better yet; and this is really solid advice; stay stock.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Im sorry if im being rude, i dont mean to be, but if novafusion.pl 's method is wrong, shouldnt New Macław 's page for the ROMs be corrected and he should give an accurate method.

I argue this point because i hard bricked a phone in the past and i know a method thats not accurate can brick your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Manuel15:
If you don't want to listen to us, I can just say: do like you say. Then come back here and tell us if everything went well.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
It's not wrong. I went to the link. He says mount system in recovery before you flash the GApps package, then do exactly what I told you to do. Mount system if you want, it won't hurt. It is also an unnecessary step.
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
why not ask this question in NewMaclaw's carbon thread where there are people experienced with that ROM/gapps installation procedure instead of a 'general' thread such as this? that would seem to be the the best way IMHO.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:
Ok. Thanks for all your help.

Sorry for being so paranoid. I think i am because i have to rely on others for info about phones because im so new to flashing.

To create backup.zip I would need to buy titanium backup pro version. And I don't really want to change my bootloader since I read that it cant be rolled back. Also can't find right Clockworkmod for my phone.

I found update file in manufacturer website, it's about 400mb (attached picture), unziped system folder is 600mb+ so I guess it is legit stock roam.

I need a confirmation-ish answer (a bit scared to brick my budget android) will I be able to install it through default bootloader <3e> and restore phone to factory state? In case installing EXPOSED Installer will cause some trouble.

I don't really care about that personal data since I can make that backup with unpaid titanium version and restore it after installing stock roam.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I trust these guys at XDA, compare your model number, android version (4.1.2), and maybe your kernel and chipset to the devices that you are finding methods for, I'm pretty sure you're good to go to use either method, I say to compare just in case their were any factory differences in your model, sometimes the model and version of android doesn't change but other things about the device are changed from one manufacture date to another and that can change your results, just make sure device is the same as what you find, the methods work if you follow instructions closely or they wouldn't be posted, the easiest for you seems to br flashing the superuser zip through stock recovery, just follow the post for it, good luck

Samsung S3 AT&T I747 soft brick after official auto udate

First time here.

I have a AT&T S3 I747 which was bought used several months back. Have had no problems with it. Last week I received notice that there was an OS update (KitKat?) . Had plenty of power and left it on charge. Did the update overnight. In the morning it was bricked. I started looking up solutions that morning and tried clearing the cache and a factory reset. The following day I went to both the AT&T store and the Samsung center at BestBuy and neither places even looked at my phone. Over the weekend a friend helped me flash a new version of KitKat and while it seemed to go through fine the phone remained bricked. This morning I did a live chat with someone through the Samsung website and after telling her that I already tried the cache and factory reset she said there wasn't anything to do other than send the phone in for repairs, problem being it is no longer under warranty since it was bought used. I've been trying to flash an earlier version of Jellybean to see if the phone simply can't handle KitKat, but haven't been able to find any trustworthy files.

Any suggestions? Either a link to a reliable file or an alternate solution would be appreciated.

Thanks,

GT-N7100 seems rooted

Hi, I'm following rooting stuff for a long time. But I don't master it at all. I need new directions beacause I'm completely lost

Searching, heads me to generic thread, so it wasn't succeful this time.

How to be sure Knox is disabled after rooting? I want to be sure that knox will never mess again.

This is a Galaxy Note 2,

bought stock

without operator layer. And it works great!

I've got a basic understanding of Samsung's Knox and I want to remove it. My cellphone was updated from 4.1.x to 4.3 by mistake. After that the boolader was secured, but for some reason knox app wasn't working. Indeed Knox app wasn't installed and failed at it, so no way to check "Yes I want to uninstall it politely" like for galaxy S3 users!

First Root Attempt

So I've ran the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573576 Odin root method (I call it the old method) ; It seems that it was an half failure, at the end, knox said: unauthorised access! SU crash...

Second Root Tentative

After buying fresh new OS, W8.1 pro and connected my cellphone to motherboard's usb I've tried the "Safe root" http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48392009&postcount=1 SuperSu instant crash+ Unauthorised Access

After searching on the forum, I've updated SuperSu from GooglePlay [made a forced update] then press [Enter]. On the bottom of the screen I can see,

SuperSu granted root access... cool!

I've tried busybox, Titanium backup, Terminal Emulator and granted them root access.

Then I don't have any more SKnox messages! but I cannot delete it. Using Explorer (Root free version) Searching "knox" then try to delete. Fail

also tried with Terminal Emulator

su [enter]

pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid [Enter]

>Killed

My objective is to keep Touchwizz layer to keep using stylet functionnalities, but to remove every unused process or cached ones. After that to have full access of my device like a PC and keep it for 5 years. I need the most of Linux features possible, to use it at my university

By the way, in my country "warranty" is set to 2 years I think, I'm at 1 year and a half.

Hey there.... noob to rooting and knox and things like that. I have a question.

I have Canadian Galaxy S4- i337m on original stock rom updated to NI2, which I have rooted using the method described on W0lfdroid .com. ( flashing old kernel with odin, root, then flash original. )

Now everything went great, I'm rooted without tripping knox counter. Still reads 0x0. Another interesting fact about this method is I had previously rooted this device using towelroot ( lost root after update to NI2 kernel) and it set my device status to custom.... after going through this new process, It reset my status to official. Nice little side effect I guess.

Now to the real question... knox now says device not authorized. Was just wondering if this was a normal effect of rooting? ( I know it was disabled by supersu) or is there a way of having root and use knox. ( I only ask because I have still have official status and knox counter does not seem to be tripped.)

Hope someone can answer this for me.

Thanx.

I searched for Android recovery on google images. It seems that it doesn't have wipe dalvik cache, but it should have wipe cache. But im'm not sure, I haven't got an s3 mini, and I use cwm recovery :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
you must have the stock recovery, if so it would be best to find the root method for your device model and firmware, then install a custom recovery like CWM(clockworkmod) or TWRP (team win recovery project), they both are good but TWRP is touch activated and CWM is not (some newer versions have incorporated touch along with the original hardkey navigation), these recoveries are better than the stock recovery because stock does not have the Backup option, these recoveries allow you to make a backup of your entire system, cache and data which you can use to restore your device in case of problems, if you have one of these recoveries installed and backup saved on extsd card and you encounter problems or mistakingly flash a rom that doesn't work on your device then you can boot into the recovery and select the restore option and navigate to extsd in the clockworkmod or TWRP folder and select the backup you created it will flash your backup and make your device work again, when using the recovery to flash new roms then its best to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then select advanced and select wipe dalvik cache, flash the new rom and Gapps and any kernels you find (kernels are optional and not necessary) once rom and Gapps flash, do all the wipes again(data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache then go back and select reboot, give it time to boot, do the setup wiz like you did when you got it and enjoy, if its glitchy on first boot then just reboot and should be good, if its stuck on bootlogo or the screen stays dark and does nothing on first boot then power of and boot to recovery and restore backup and you'll be good to go again if you want to try another rom or just stay with stock your choice but I strongly suggest custom recovery, it will save you if an ota update bricks your device.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesGoodmanOne:

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
by the way, anytime you flash a new rom it will be slow on the first boot so if you flash and reboot and it seems to be taking a while to boot just be patient sometimes it can take up to ten minutes on the first boot, don't panic, if it has been longer than ten or fifteen minutes then its probably not working and you'll have to go to recovery and restore
