[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AndreeU17:
Hi everyone, im new here although i have passed through these threads constantly. I decided to switch from Apple to Android. I had my iphone Jailbroken so its really normal for me to want the same with my samsung S4. However, im curious about the reality of rooting. What is rooting really? Why is there so many roms to choose from? What is the best Rom really? When i do rooting will i eliminate my data, If so is there a way to retrieve it without contacting my phone provider (Sprint)? This are question im most curious about, i apologies if they have been answered already. For sake of time, i'd like best if you responded me with an answer or something closes to it rather than an unnecessary remark. I appreciate everyones time and help, i wish you all a great Thank YOU :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
Rooting in itself is granting you full access to your phone - sort of like running administrator mode on a PC - and being able to change anything you want.

There actually aren't that many roms out for the Sprint S4 at the moment comparatively to others since it's still a pretty new device. But every rom brings something different to your device - different modifications, different things removed or kept from stock, unique features, Themes, and more. Every rom is different as people look and want different things, you should look through each and see what each offers and see what intices you the most.

What do you mean data? If you mean data reception, no. If you mean like apps and contacts, contacts and that stuff is restored when you log into your Google account. But you usually wipe all your apps when installing a new rom but you can make a backup of your apps using an app called titanium backup which you can restore when you reinstall the app after putting on a new rom (there are similar apps for sms restoring and call log restoring). But you don't need to worry about dealing with Sprint with any of that. Rooting is much more of an open experience than anything you'd get from jailbreaking an iPhone and dealing with apple.

And lastly, there are basically two types of overarching roms you will find here. Roms that are based of Touchwiz, which is the Samsung version of the android operating system (which includes all the Samsung specific features like air view and smart scroll etc as well as its general interface) - it's basically an overlay of Android with Samsungs touch.

And there are AOSP based roms (Android Open Source Project) which are roms based on stock Android without any phone manufacturers touch - for example Samsung has TouchWiz and HTC has Sense. It's what you'd find on pure Google phones like the Nexus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AndreeU17:
Understand it so much better I appreciate the effort in writing all this for me ;). So the only thing that I should pay attention in is to simply find which rom does what and what I need plus create a backup for all my stuff if not saved through googlw. I completetly understand but now I want your opinion. What rom are you runing on your phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
Not a problem! Well that's what you should pay attention to when picking a rom. The actual process of preparing a rom is a little more complicated then that. You basically first need to root your phone (I recommend looking up Qbking77 on YouTube, he makes excellent video walk throughs), flash a custom recovery (you can read more up on this elsewhere since me explaining it won't do it justice, but it's basically a mode you put your phone it where you can make backups and restore roms with your setup as well as flash (basically install) new roms, and then putting on a new rom.

I recommend a Touchwiz rom definitely if your starting out. Three I would recommend for you are FreeGS4 which is basically the stock rom + a lot of handy modifications + the ability to delete the bloatware Samsung doesn't let you normally delete. ForceRom is essentially the same but with all the bloatware already removed. And lastly The Blue Kuban is the stock rom with removed bloat, lots of great modifications, the ability to pick install additional mods from within the rom, and is themed to be completely blue.

I would do FreeGS4 first as I know for sure there is also a video walk through on instslling it.

[Android General] haoyangw:
It is very popular for android users to flash custom recoveries like the famous ClockWorkMod, but sometimes even small errors like a missing ';' can cause the flashing of zips to fail with "Status x" errors. I have compiled together all that I know here in this post to make it convinient to solve these annoying errors.

Staus 0:

This error is usually caused by incompatible update-binary in the META-INF/com/google/android directory of your zip.

Solution:

Extract the update-binary from the flashable zip of any rom made for your device and put it in the META-INF/com/google/android folder of your zip. This will, most of the time, solve status 0 errors.

Status 4:

This error is usually either no update(r)-script in your zip, or you placed the update(r)-script in the wrong location, causing Clockworkmod recovery to be unable to find it.

Status 6:

This error is usually caused by wrong EOL(End Of Line terminators) that is not readable by ClockWorkMod recovery. It can also be caused by no ';' at the end of a line, or no close brackets ')'.

Solution: If you used ES File Explorer version 1.6.2.5 and below to write the script, when you open any text, the default EOL terminators will be set to Windows terminators, which is not readable to clockworkmod recovery. You should click the menu button of your device, goto Settings and click on Line Terminator and select "UNIX Terminators - LF". Done!

Alternative Solution(Windows): Install Notepad++ attached below and under edit, goto EOL xxx and select UNIX. Done!

For Linux, just open the script with the default text editor. It will automatically have UNIX EOL terminators, so this does NOT happen on Linux.

Status 7: This is a little more tricky. There may be a typo or incomplete sentence, or no close inverted commas("). Just check through the script for any errors in typing and you should be fine.

This is all the errors that I have encountered, if there are more, just post the kind of Status encountered and I will be happy to help!:D

Note: The arrangement of the Notepad++ files are:

1. Notepad++ Installer(Remove the .zip extension behind the file, this is a valid Windows executable, not a zip)

2. zipped Notepad++(Portable)

3. 7-zipped Notepad++(Portable)

4. Notepad++ Mnimalist(No plugins, extensions, etc.)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter7769:
Hi Everyone

i need to unroot my phone so i can return it to carphone warehouse as it keeps freezing, i have tried every other option to fix it but its still happening, i haven't flashed any other roms, just wanted to root it so i could use directory bind.

The method i used to root was the CF Autoroot method as detailed here

I also have installed TWRP Recovery so need to know how to remove that and go back to the stock recovery

Please Please can someone help me out with what to do, i can supply any details needed as the phone does still turn on.

Thanks Pete

:(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbanzon:
Just flash your stock firmware via odin and you'd be unrooted..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter7769:
Thanks but i have no idea how to do that or where to get the stock firmware from, sorry to be a pain but can you explain more or is there a guide?

Also will i have to use Triangle away?

I have just rung car phone warehouse to confirm if the warranty is void if you root a phone & they say yes, so really need to get this sorted so i can get it back for repair.

Thanks

Pete
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
There are plenty of guides in xda regarding unrooting.

Download stock firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com for your device.

Use triangle away to reset counters.

Flash stock firmware and optionally factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter7769:
Thanks, I take it that I use triangle away before unrooting? Also will doing this remove TWRP or do I have to do something else for that?

Thanks again

Pete
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Can't use triangle away unless you're rooted. So do it before you flash stock. Never really used it much so won't know the details but aparently if you have custom kernels installed, the counter will stay at 1, so you might wanna switch to stock firmware, root it, triangle away, then use the full unroot option on your superuser app or alternatively just reflash stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter7769:
Thanks but as i put in my original post i havent flashed any ROMS so im using stock firmware anyway.

Is there any way to use Kindle books with Readers Hub?

The special reading app doesn't seem to work with Kindle.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] roustabout:
amazon uses proprietary wrappers for its books so you would need to remove drm and then convert them to epub format, which the readers hub and most other readers use. Calibre can be set up to do both the drm removal and the format conversion.

I'm using the Nook app rather than the readers hub, which is incredibly slow.

Does the readers hub have s-pen integration that's especially good that Ididn't notice?

I rooted my international SG3 over a year ago. I originally used it on vodafone in Germany, but I was using it on T-mobile in the USA now. It was working fine, until one morning while it just showed the "Samsung" boot logo, and wouldn't go any further. I took out the battery and tried rebooting it, but it never gets past the Samsung logo. I tried putting it into recovery mode, and the same thing. I am able to get to the download mode.

I tried using the same method I used to root the phone originally and Odin is telling me the pit file is missing or inaccessible. I didn't mess with the pit file when I rooted it originally. Do I need to put a new .pit file with Odin? I'm hesitant to do that without knowing what I am doing, however right now I have a non-functioning phone, so I don't have anything to lose, but I wanted some more expert advice before I try that.
