re: rooting

Easy and sure way to root your phone - Here is s step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in the same condition

as it was the day you have purchased it except with the benefit of being rooted.

Download the stock-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.1 T999 firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

[NFC Hacking] cybhunter:
Hey everyone,

Within the last month, I ended up receiving a refund from the university I attend and used majority of the funds to flat out buy a Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro (SGH-i547). The selling points for me was the build quality (almost akin to the Nokia candy bar phones of the late 1990's and early 2000's predominantly seen with Cingular), comparable hardware capabilities to the other galaxy phones (IE the SII) and it's inclusion of the NFC chipset/antenna. Because I don't have a stable income it wasn't possible to get a voice/text/data plan. For obvious reasons I subsequently rooted the Rugby Pro to remove the tethering.provision XML reference in the framework.apk as well as carrier unlocking.

One of problems I'm facing is the ability to use the NFC chipset for anything more than novel purposes. It has been widely documented on the forums about the lack of ability to use Google Wallet on other than sprint based Samsung Galaxy phones (officially), with the apparent competing digital wallet 'ISIS' not being an effective replacement (tried installing and even with a temporary uproot it's still picking up on the root status of the Rugby Pro).

After trying to do a general web search on NFC, I can't seem to find any noteworthy information about the 'secure element'. Even sending an email to Samsung resulted in a recommendation to call their Hotline.

What I'm wondering:

For those devices that have NFC which devices have the hardware support for the secure element

(is a requirement for NFC implementation to include the hardware to support 'secure element')

Is it a limitation imposed by the telcos that prevents the inclusion of the software aspect (IE the keys) to allow access to the secure element?

For devices using the same chipset (ie the Galaxy Series Devices) , is it technically possible to import a working keyset (assumed to be a library) to try and gain access?

Apologies in advance if any of these questions have been answered beforehand. My hopes are to try and be able to use the hardware capabilities of NFC devices in a telco independent manner. Eventually once I can acquire enough information, as an college engineering capstone project, I would want to approach the local public transportation authority and try to sell them on the mass usage of contactless payments (at the moment they only implement the RFID/NFC NXP cards for senior citizens and those who are physically disabled).

Thanks

I found "sections=1 not allow update" error in XDA II bootloader 1.06 when I update to another language version image, who can tell me what this error code means? thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkstar64:
Hi, hope someone can help.

I've given up on my Photon and now have an S3. I'm giving my MoPho to my sister and I need to unroot the phone and take it back to stock to Sprint can activate the phone for her. Every link I've found to unroot the phone is dead. Does anyone know where there are working links for the software to unroot the phone? i'm at my wits end.

Thanks for any help at all
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Look for a proper sbf file and use rsdlite to flash it and relock/return to stock. You should be able to find them with ease, but if it comes to it pm and I can upload one to Dropbox
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
For the millionth time here on xda. Sprint services and will activate rooted devices. Anybody that tells you different has read Sprint's OFFICIAL policy. At most all you need is a stock rooted.

BTW- Yes the unroot links do work as I just checked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkstar64:
It depends what you mean by 'work'. One of the places I tried to get them was your site. All that happened was junk programs were installed on my computer that made my virus scanners go nuts but none of the files I needed were downloaded. It kept blaming my connection. Course, my connection was strong enough to get the junk programs your site asked to install on my computer

use 7zip to extract. Still not sure why you need to unroot though?

I have some serious issues......OK!!!! I tried to boot into recovery with twrp (it was highley recommended) downloaded a recovery aswell. I went to go boot into recovery and IMMEDIATELY :

YELLOW triangle stating-System software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.

WHAT GIVES????

Im new to note 2 but not flashing. I was trying to flash clean rom ACE and the op suggested that I use twrp so I did and IMMEDIATELY this SH*T came up. antone know how to fix this or if verizon can fix this or what????

THANKS

I have tried to go into recovery notta.......there was an image recovery downloaded. SHOULD I HAVE USED CWM????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjm00:
Your bootloader wasn't unlocked. Use Odin to flash back to stock and make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing clean rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
THank you SOO much for a QUICK response. I feel soo imbarrassed. Could you please send me a link to this Odin (i am new to NOTE2) I am looking for it as we "speak"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
OK-since my note 2 in hanging on the triangle and i have plugged my phone into my laptop....there is nothing going on. THe computer didnt even recognize the phone nothing.

is there something i shoud do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
Did you put it in download mode? Hold volume down+ home while powering on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
You may also need to download the drivers for the note 2 so the computer will recognize it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Odin is reconizing the drivers cause there is 'com' number so from what i understand the drivers are installed.

Heres my problem , Odin is going down the checklist (or whatever it is doing) when it gets to the sboot.bin it stops and says

< ID: 0/005'Complete write/ operation failed'

<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / fail 1)

I would assume the ID is bc the 'com' nuber was 5

I think i have found evry thread out there to try and fix this via Odin.....but you guys are the experts

I dont know what else to do P L E A S E help all I want it to be is restored------

I downloaded the correct drivers directly from samsung
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rashone:
I had the same error /problem after installing twrp without realizing my bootloader was still locked. I followed the instructions in this link (1b directions) and flashed back to 4.1.1. Then took the 4.1.2 update and used Adams casual utility to root and unlock. I'm not an expert by any means but this worked for me.

Also make sure to use the "Alternate Restore" file as it does not contain the bootloader. It's a. Xz file and you will need to unzip it with 7zip or something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Yea I saw this thread- bottom line which download do I take? the : Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12

or: Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12

and Im not sure of the "alternate restore" file you are referring to...Im sorry

I am not an expert either....especially with the note II since I just got it via 3rd party SWAPPA bc of not wanting to loose my unlimited data. I was told it was unlocked and obviously I was F'd

Also- I saw this thread last night I downloaded the (Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12) and did the instructions to the "T" and still got failed-did I miss something...

I hope you or some others are out there to help me ....I would love to get this up and running
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rashone:
On the thread with the official there is a download link below the official and mirrors titled Alternate Restore. It doesn't contain the bootloader and I believe that is the file you need to use. If your bootloader is locked odin fails at the point where the file you're downloading tries to download the new bootloader, hence the need for the file without the bL. Does that make sense?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidxrooting:
here are the steps. Flash root66 which will bring back your note to life and the software would be 4.1.1. Use Jailbreak tool to unlock the bootloader and you will be golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Yes it sorta does (i am still learning) and WOW i read the the bold print about the alternate restore but never ever saw the download file ( i wasnt looking)

Is that the file you used??? and then went to Casual and let that do its thing? (which I have already downloaded to my laptop)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rashone:
That is what I did. I read about the method droidxrooting said but can't personally speak for it (but I'm sure it works too). If you use the file I used just remember to unzip it even though it's not labeled a zip file and make sure you use the correct casual method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
I see what your referring to....:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
OK- I am downloading it ...still (waiting) (and it seems on all of downloads on my 64 bit laptop windows 7)that the files get unziped when they show up in my download files folder-do you find that too....or
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
btw- rashone i want to aske did you also put the file (SCH-I605_16gb.Pit) in the PIT section like it was suggested???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rashone:
My files were in dl folder too after unzipping. It seems like I flashed the pit file too becuase I had it on my computer. I believe I had to check the repartition box in odin when using the pit file too. I was about to throw my phone before doing this so hopefully it works for you too...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
OK-still waiting for the alternate to DL-and I had DL'd the PIT so I have that...(.and I too am about to THROW this thing out the window.....) if it doesnt work. I will say this-"it worked for you, so why not me"!!!!!

and thanks for staying up and responding...thats takes alot for someone to do that....(not sure where your at) im in Richmond,VA

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohammadpk:
same here, sometimes when I open the camera app my S4 freezes for few seconds and then reboots, not mentioning the overheating problem.

Samsung should release an update or something, it better be a S/W issue otherwise I will kill someone.

For me, it also freezes+rebooted while in the gallery or even launching some app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maedox:
If everything is stock, unmodded, and you installed all available updates from Samsung I would go get a replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpitsaini:
If your phone restarts when you start the Camera it is a software issue

It happens due to low RAM [the irony that it is in S4 -_-]

They should fix it soon but if you need to immediately then go to development options, scroll all the way down and keep Max tasks to 4.

Read it somewhere it works :P

But I think you have to set again after maual reboot

Please do that manually using the following command:

adb reboot oem-78

Quit....

Press ENTER to exit.....

I'm not sure, but try opening up a command prompt inside where your sdk files are, while the ControlBear is still open, then run that command in order to reboot. And then close it and see if ControlBear procceeds.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObscureDreamer:
Hi Everyone,

Back in December my microUSB port stopped worked, it became loose and would connect randomly and then just stopped working. I took it to a repair place and they said to give them a couple hours and they'd have it done.

I picked up my phone and they said it won't go into debugging mode, (I have a custom kernel (doomlord) and rom) and they said it was probably my firmware (DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE?). Either way I thought I'd get it working when I got home.

The usb port was tight now. But when I would plug it into the computer it wouldn't be recognized, and the computer would say that my USB device had malfuctioned (and I tried EVERYTHING - drivers etc..). it WOULD charge though though usb...

Well it'd been months and decided to open it up myself to see what was wrong - I did a lot of research regarding how the outer wires are for the charging and the inner ones are for the data, I thought maybe the data was not connected.

HERE is what it looked like when I took it apart!!!!!!! Is that at all normal? I looked at A LOT of pictures before I decided to take it apart and I NEVER saw anything like THIS!!!!

Are there suppose to be wires just mashed all over with clear glue like tape holding them down???

I have carefully untangles the mess of wires as much as possible (they were looped and a MESS), I also used electrical tape to stop them from touching each other.

Needless to say - my efforts were useless, my computer still says the same "usb device malfunctioned" message....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObscureDreamer:
update: So now my vibrate doesn't work, I'm thinking that my fix (I didn't post a pic of it) is the cause if this - actually I'm sure of it- so here I am, 3am taking it apart AGAIN it to adjust the electrical tape I put in to make it vibrate again.
