[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eBoody:
Hey guys, ive been searching for days now in the hopes of not needing to post anything,,,but alas im worn out. Hopefully someone can provide some insight or a link to the proper resources to help me figure out what i need to do. Im amidst something really cool i think many people would be able to make use of but i need a bit of help. These are the commands im looking to be able to do in the android terminal. (not directly but if i cant do it in the android terminal i cant do it elsewhere).

1. What commands do i need to do in order to boot into recovery, wipe everything, and flash a file?

2. what commands do i need to do in order to boot into recovery, wipe everything and restore a nandroid?

3. how can i put files in a rom zip so that when i flash it, the files will be there?

thanks guys!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well from a terminal emulator you can boot to recovery but you won't wipe and flash a new ROM or back up this way as you can't be booted in os and wipe it

You can flash individual files no problem and can wipe chance and dalvik.

There are loads of tutorials on how to create flashable zips, here's one I made a while back (yet never finished)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
So i am relatively new to android and still have a few questions if anyone could help out...

I have rooted my s4 using cf auto root with out any issues other than i couldn't check the f.reset time box (not sure if that's unusual or not) so i then paid for and downloaded triangle away to reset the counter, now i'm rooted and back to official status, using nova launcher pro and able to receive OTA updates.

Currently haven't received the new update where i am yet (Australia) , the update which allows apps to be moved to sd and fixes a few other issues. Obviously i would like to get this update, I have paid for and downloaded mobile odin, i assume that when the new update is available i can download on my pc and transfer and install the file from my phone using mobile odin without restoring to stock? And once the update is installed i will need to root again?

I guess my main questions are, with the cf auto root am i able to install custom roms, am i able to update without losing the root, are their any available updates from other regions i can use without issues currently, i see a lot of talk about kernels and i am really lost when it comes to that as i haven't needed to change anything dramatic, it's all been pretty automatic, just want to make sure i'm not missing some important steps.

Thanks to anyone that bothers to reply.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REVERSiN:
First thing it sounds you have an I9505 so to be clear next time you better specify which you have mate :)

Second after rooting you wont have any official updates since phone is still rooted, instead download a rom and flash in CWM so of you dont have this recovery you have many options I recommend Philz....

3) you can get any firmware you like... as it goes for languages the guys already patch the roms well moat of them so that all languages are available so basicly any will do....

4) when flashing a firmware with MobileOdin you dont need to root again it has an option enabled by default saying to inject SU binary after each flash to be cool you wont have to REroot again :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
Yeah, soz, it's a I9505, so even after getting it back to official by using triangle away i can't get OTA updates? Cos before i used triangle away i checked for updates and it said "modified firmware, not able to update", now it's back to "you have the latest firmware available". Even If i was able to do OTA updates when available Would that cause issues, meaning i'm better off just doing a manual update now via mobile odin? Is the custom rom necessary for anything i'm trying to do, cos i'm pretty happy with just having it rooted and nova launcher. I haven't found anything i can't do that i want to be able to do yet. Thanks for replying.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crauze:
I wouldn't wait for OTA updates as it will take a while, download the latest version which is I9505XXUBMGA from here and flash via Odin using a computer and your phone status will still be Official
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
Thanks man. My current build number is XXUAMDE , does that make a difference? Had a look but couldn't see exactly where i am meant to download it from on that page?

Not sure what the rule on posting links on here are but is this the right file?.. Country is listed as nordic tho... http://www.hotfile.com/dl/234701514/2b929a4/I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_NEE.zip.html
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crauze:
You download this version file and if some apps you need isn't installed, download this file and place them in system/apps with the correct permission

You'll need to flash via Odin and instructions is in this thread and your phone status will still be Official even with root included
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
Alright, downloading now, so is that a custom rom or just the update? Says it's going to take 7 hours lol, so think i might get some sleep before i have a crack at it! thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crauze:
It's not a custom ROM, it's stock ROM which has root included with bloatware apps removed but still gives you Official phone status
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
Alright, so i have downloaded and installed the 1.1gig update, i then backed up from a backup i made before updating, i then went and installed the programs that didn't auto install from the backup and a few of the ones that were removed in this update, I don't need to install those apps from the 337mb file you linked if i don't want to do i? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
Also, i am just trying to download a few apps from the play store to my internal storage as usual and i am now getting "unable to install to usb mass storage device" also, apps keep going upside down no matter how i hold the phone. Plus it seems to be lagging...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crauze:
It's not a update, it's a custom stock ROM, did you flash via Odin following the instructions in this thread?

You don't have to install the Deleted Apps file if all the apps you need is already installed

It shouldn't have problems that you listed above, did you flash the custom stock ROM correctly?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick50008:
I just installed cwm recovery (don't really know what i'm doing at this stage lol) cos i was having issues with bad wifi even with a good signal, and couple of force closes plus the issues i identified earlier and did "fix permissions" from cwm recovery, quick speed test or 10 and it is faster than normal, seems to be as smooth as it was before, haven't tested any games yet either for the rotation issue....

This would first require a port of the original S4 lockscreen, which, as far as I know, no one is working on. Will let you know when someone ports it, might even try it myself, however I will have to wait until I get my I8190N back, as it's currently getting repaired.

[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Roji:
Hello sir,

I just thought we can port this towards s3 mini.. The Device SG S4 uses " XHDPI " resolution while ours is " HDPI " resolution.

Therefore if Using that VRTHEME Method by the VRTHEME family.. One could simply rename the destination drawable-xhdpi to drawable-hdpi for it to work on our phone.

Example: The vrtheme zip lockscreen mods for S4 contains the PNGs for the Lockscreen Modifications in the location

" system/framework/res/drawable-xhdpi ".

thus, for it to work on s3 mini we simply rename it in the said location into these: " system/framework/res/drawable-hdpi "

Notice the Highlighted.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] bigyohann:
Yes but is an fake s4 lockscreen, It's not the original !
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Roji:
Hi sir,

Please don't be angry with me.. I am sorry..I was just helping out.. also someone made a fake S4 lockscreen here and it was very good.. i just thought those pngs of the fake s4 lockscreen mod can be replaced with lightning,flames,orbs and etc pngs from the len's flare mod at the original thread of s4 directed at the first post..therefore its like porting it on our phone
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] bigyohann:
I'm not angry ;) I think like you before ;) but when i decompile, the file was not correspond and the port is not the same as he would like. You can port galaxy S4 lockscreen like à fake but you can't with this lockscreen with flames orbs etc...

Good news: It is very easy to port. How easy? As easy as porting the ripple effect. Also, the 4.2.2 update should be out before September. It's already out for the my Tab 2 7.0, and someone ported it to that within hours of the update being released. :)

How can I push an OS back to my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. All i have is TWRP and a 2nd bootloader? ADB is unresponsive and I can get my Kindle into fastboot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Depending on which method u want to use, if your aiming to use twrp to fix it I'm guessing u might be using an older version that isn't recognized by windows with the adb drivers u had SK you would have to force install them, after that u would just use adb side load to side load a stock rooted amazon is or any other. If you want the fast boot approach then try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126

I think if you use the second method then u can still keep your twrp+ 2nd bootloader as well.

It may be the cable. Most smartphones have micro HDMI output, so test one. If you have a Radio Shack they sell a HDMI to micro HDMI adapter that you could use on one of your other cables.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] Aliendex:
Depending on what you want, a good idea is to use an usb webcam but there's no compatibility without proper modification.

Another idea is to use an ip wireless camera with Access Point functionality enabled (you can connect to it with your tablet like a normal home wireless connection) but it's a worst of battery.

In my opinion, you can first try with an usb webcam, with the 2 or 3 guide you can find on-line and try if it works..

I suggest you to first unlock your bootloader via the easy tool described at here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1560613

then flash the Doomkernel with the flashtool booting at fastboot mode. Before doing that never forget to install the necessary drivers.

The kernel is preloaded with custom recovery CWM and TWRP. While booting when you see doom logo pressing at 'vol +' you'll get CWM and pressing at camera button you'll get TWRP.

And flash the su and busybox package via recovery (CWM or TWRP)
