[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Slade8525:
I am trying to get Ktoonsez kernel running on MDOB ROM so i can create a perfect sRGB profile and FULLY eliminate screen flicker/color shift, running into some problems.

I am rooted with TWRP recovery and debloated via Motochopper CASUAL R527b

I also have Nottach Xposed mod installed.

I attempted to flash version 1.7 of the TouchWiz version of MDOB

Here is where i have a problem; i have a FULL backup of AT&T ROM with the above all installed and running PERFECTLY (which im running on again). I reboot into TWRP recovery, have the aforementioned full backup, i swipe to factory reset, davlik/system/data/cache wipe, then flash the ROM

I did NOT perform a full system/data wipe the first 2 times, and the ROM worked but not on second reboot (had to reboot system via recovery but it worked afterwords. I also got Ktoonsez TouchWiz kernel working, but it would not fully boot unless i booted from TWRP).

I cannot get past the Custom/padlock screen when i hit reboot system, so i cannot flash the kernel and then clear davlik and cache (which i am supposed to do in that order, correct?)

If someone could give me a complete step by step i would appreciate it. i have been waiting to fix the damn screen flicker and create the first perfect sRGB settings for this phone; i cant get this figured out or working, and i dont want to screw something up.

I have linked to EVERY bit of root/hack/ROM/kernel software i have downloaded, only difference is the ROM i have is version 1.7 instead of version 1.8. I believe perhaps something to do with the previous mods ive done may be inhibiting my ability to boot properly. i DID have it running, both MDOB, and later MDOB with Ktoonsez kernel, but i had to reboot from TWRP every time, which i knew was not right, so i flashed the backup AT&T ROM with all system/user/apps/data, the Motochopper Casual R527b Root/debloat mod, and Nottach Xposed mod which are part of my only backup (works flawlessly, im happy with it but i want to perfect an sRGB profile for these phones, its in my area of work and i would love to be able to show stuff that is absolutely correct to clients).

Everything should be annotated correctly, and i flashed everything correctly as per the directions found in appropriate threads, ie reset, davlik/data/system/cache wipe, flash ROM, reboot (worked twice, second reboot i installed Ktoonsez kernel, wiped davlik/cache, rebooted, got in, enjoyed it, rebooted, and it hung at custom/padlock screen). Now after i flash the same MDOB file, it will NOT boot, just hangs at custom/lock screen. i DID fully wipe the device to try to reset everything (via TWRP), and flash the new ROM.

Thanks!

I'm using paranoid android and was wondering if there was a mod to get xperia z lock screen on it. I saw one for cm10 bit it didnt work on pa. I also found one for ICS and higher but it was an app and I want the actual framework changed. If anyone can provide me with a link to one or tell me how to modify cm10 version for pa I'd appreciate it thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] avatarzan:
Noob here, thanks in advance for any help. I have a rooted vzw note 2 through Odin root66, I've tried unsuccessfully to flash a new rom, always get the dreaded yellow triangle from big brother. I need to unlock the bootloader but am still a bit timid in exploiting things. I've tried flashing with clockwork mod and goo, with the same result, and manage to return to root using Odin root66 etc... I wonder if I can use casual since I'm already rooted? I'm on stock Os 4.1.1, so close and yet so far away from flashing... any help appreciated, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You have to use Causal if you want to flash a rom. Rooting just gives you root access, to flash a rom your bootloader has to be unlocked and you have to have a custom recovery installed. Thats what Casual does, it unlocks your bootloader and installs you first custom recovery for you. Once that is done you will be able to flash roms, not before.

How did you miss that? Its written in all the guides.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] avatarzan:
missed it

I rooted before I ever found this forum...so I missed it....until now. My question is can I use Casual now that I'm rooted? I don't want to brick....I'm running stock rom and rooted and what I've read doesn't address my situation...or I totally missed it if it does...

Mahalo for your reply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yogurt HBI:
I wish you could. I didn't see the Casual One Click until 5 minutes after I rooted. When you try casual, it will check your bootloader and give you a long message saying a lot of things that basically call you dumb for not reading. I'm currently trying to return to stock but I can't extract an .xz file to get it back to stock because it fails at sboot.bin. Sorry man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
It sounds like I am in that boat. There has to be some sort of fix for this right? It has been a long week for me this time rooting, wow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If it fails at sboot.bin use the alternative recovery ROM in droidstyles guide and flash it in Odin.

As far as I knew you can use CASUAL to unlock, you just have to use the newest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmc71:
Same problem

I brought this VZW Note 2 off of craigslist and it was already rooted. I was wanting to flash jelly beans v19 and tried to install TWRP but CWM was already installed and I really forgot what I did its been 10 hours already following guides and the only thing that works is odin, pit and root66 but anything else I try after getting the phone back up fails and root66 would not pass the last several times but this last time it did. I suspect the bootloader is locked but I'm rooted. I want to clear everything and install a fresh rom since I don't know the history and the phone was freezing and glitchy but I did not check see what rom the previous owner had installed and by the way Im a total newb but really have been seaching threads to solve this before posting but with no luck. Any help much appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Flash Root66 or the alternative restore with the NAND erase box in Odin checked. If it won't flash just the ROM in Odin try flashing the ROM + the PIT by following the instructions in droidstyles guide in Android Development.

You would do better to make your own thread too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salphine:
Hey Guys,

Am posting on behalf of my GF whose GS2 is "behaving strangely". We're long distance, so makes it hard for me to do any diagnosis by playing with it, so i'll just copy paste what she's told me so far. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

I asked her to take the battery out and get the Model Number, Serial Number etc

and then i asked her to dial *#1234#

She seems to think this is a battery issue, I could get a new one for her for about $40. I'm more inclined to think it's a Software issue.

Has anyone come across this before? is this a common issue? is there a fix for it?

Thanks in Advance,

Salphine

Hey!

have you tried to clear data , clear cache?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Scrambo:
Well, i was listening to music today with my phone in my pocket, and an extended qcell 3500 mA battery in. As i bent down to pick up something from the ground, the music abruptly stopped. There was no vibration, no noise, it just stopped. I took it out and tried turning it back on, but no dice. I have since tried everything i know, including, swapping out to the regular battery, holding power button for 5 seconds, attaching to power source in outlet, attaching to computer (computer didnt recognize that anything was attached either) and having odin open while attaching to computer. In short, I somehow broke my phone by bending over. Has anyone else experienced this with theirs?

For some extra info, i was on the latest 6th release of slimrom 4.2.2 with nothing changed except for the governor to SIO. But personally, i dont think that would do something like this would it?

I'm willing to try any suggestions you guys have.

Thanks,

~Scrambo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GUestD2707:
Can you get to download mode from your phone? Or is their no life at all. If you CAN reach download mode your best bet would be to flash a new ROM. However, your phone may have been overheated, over/under surged. If their is no life from your phone, the best thing would be to take it in.

Yea, there is no life at all in this phone. Screen just will not turn on period. i guess ill be turning it in.

[General Accessories] Mayajw:
Thanks for taking the time to review. It's nice to hear it from a regular user. How do you feel about it only being 16gb? That's the only thing holding me back and keeping me on my gnex.
[General Accessories] vectron:
It would have been an issue if you don't have microSD card option. You can add 64GB without a problem. Plus, if you are rooted, you can clean up some bloatware to free up more space. Honestly, its NOT a show stopper!!!

and don't forget DropBox and other services to store your extra data files.
[General Accessories] Mayajw:
How much space did getting rid of the bloat free up?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Could easily be over a gig. But I'm not rooting the phone since it was provided to me for a review, and I have to return it back. My Note 2 came with 16GB and I'm not rooted. I yet to fill up the space. Also, have 32GB microSD where I store my picture and music. I think space is not an issue. On the other hand, when I bought Nexus 7, I choose the highest built in storage because I can't upgrade that. Again, just my personal opinion, 16GB is not a deal breaker with some many options to expand your storage.
[General Accessories] Diversion:
Thanks for the review, I did a much smaller comparison/review myself a week ago from my Note2 to the S4..

I made myself a deal that if I couldn't sell off my N2 to someone within my 14 day return period on my S4 I would have taken the S4 back and just kept the N2. I just sold my N2 last night with about 5 days left in my 14 day return period.

Honestly I feel that the Note2 is a every part last-gen Android device today and I actually just encourage people to keep their N2s and skip the S4, it's not a major change.. mostly in size.. The screen difference is nice but it shouldn't be a deal breaker on the N2. . 720p looks great even at 5.5".
[General Accessories] jamosjamos:
16GB is a little tight

I've rooted and tried freeing up space and even tried a couple early ROMs (AOKP & CM). My estimate of bloatware savings is it's less than a gig, but there might be ways to get it up in that ballpark. Also, adding the microSD storage does not provide seamless additional storage for apps. Even a rooted phone (at least right now) still requires some third party apps and mulitstep work to move apps and (app) data to the external storage. I'm not saying it can't be done, but even if you root, I'm not sure it will ever be simple to move apps and data to microSD.
[General Accessories] trebb:
Why do you need applications on the SD card? Just put pictures and music and miscellaneous files there, which should be the largest files anyway.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Your prayers have been ANSWERED!!! http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/06/galaxy-s-4-software-update/ - New S4 software update will allow moving of apps to SD card seamlessly without any need for 3rd party apps or rooting!!!
[General Accessories] jamosjamos:
Some apps are big (a gig or so). I have not run into a capacity issue yet, but I only have about 5gb left for internal storage. Also Google services for Music and Video only allow content to be downloaded to internal memory. I just wanted to make sure it's made clear that adding an SD doesn't solve everything.
[General Accessories] gt5oh:
Great review, how do you get rid of the 4G Symbol while Wifi is on?

Why are they both at the top of the screen?

Also, how can you tell how strong the Wifi signal is, I dont see my bars moving like my Galaxy Nexus did
[General Accessories] vectron:
4G signal stays on when wi-fi is off; you can see number of bars as well. Once you turn wifi on, 4G signal disappears on my phone and replaced by wifi signal with its own bar meter in there. That other symbol you refer to is not wifi. I think its GPS, although I'm not sure yet what those side-bars in there mean.
[General Accessories] vectron:
But you can move apps to SD, so that should solve a problem? Unless in some cases you can only move an app but not the data, and the data could take 10x as much space as the actual app. Either way, I think it's always a good idea to store your pictures and music on SD card (and have that backed up periodically) and either keep apps locally or on SD card. So even if data stays locally - you are still freeing up a lot of space. Of course, rooting is another great way to get rid of all the stock bloatware which you will not be able to move or uninstall ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Bman:
Uninstall your hidden ports.

Make sure incoming port in Control Panel>Bluetooth Devices>Open>COM Ports, is the same as in Active Sync >File>Connection Settings>Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port.

Start Active Sync on Magician, make sure that the box Settings>Bluetooth Settings>Outbound COM port is checked.

Off course Magician and PC where already paired.

thinking of using the non-bootloader root method.

if i do this, is there an easy way to go back to non-root? i'm slightly paranoid about getting my warranty flagged if i ever bring my expensive new phone into a sprint store to be serviced. like some kind of factory reset, or an app?

thanks

bonus: is there a bricking risk with the rooting process like there is for flashing an image?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] iamchocho:
You should be able to simply remove the su binary to "go back". Various root applications can do that for you or you could manually delete the binary yourself.

As far as risk of bricking from this I would say No. Never heard of it happening but anything could be possible I guess.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickstop:
I'm on Arman's infinirom right now, and it is absolutely amazing in terms of performance and stability. However, I'm still falling to see any battery life improvements. Right now the best screen time I can get is 4 hours screen on over the course of two days. No gaming, just flipboard, music, and web browsing. I've tried to emulate everyone's settings on here, but to no avail. I did realize that I'm in a rural area with very weak signal. Not just data, but actual phone signal. Would this happen to be the issue?

Here's a shot of how weak signal is here :
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzers:
Your phone is always hunting for a signal, and the weaker or more unstable the signal is the harder it’s going to work to find and keep latched on to it.

It’s for this reason that if I’m on a long train journey across open country I put my phone in to flight mode until I reach urban areas to conserve the battery. One thing I don’t like about the RAZR i is that it doesn’t hold a 3G signal anywhere near as good as any of my previous Nokia's. I’ve used Three’s network for many years with no problems until I bought the RAZR, and as Three doesn’t have a back-up 2G network sadly I’ve had to switch carriers because otherwise I’ve been extremely happy with them.

Hope this helps.

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?
[Xperia Play General] wedgess:
IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions ;) But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.

Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
What about 2 cents on this VRAM apparently being doubled?

At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?
