[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonBlade:
i was just googling around . i found something interesting. i think you can enable usb debugging via adb in CWM if u have proper knowledge of adb commnads. just do a search for enabling usb debugging by changing value of a property in the settings.db file located in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
Thanks dude, but the issue is i dont have root or CWM installed. With no display this is will be even painful as i will blindly be shooting around and possibly brick the device.

i have spoken to a few friends if they can arrange an S3 and maybe with the USB keyboard over OTG i can enable the developer settings. Secondly have also spoken around with a few service centers and mobile repair shops if they can temporarily swap a working display from a repair piece and enable the mode for me. no one has a piece at present. fingers crossed...

by the way, you are from india.. Where are you from? which city? I am from Mumbai
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Flashing CWM is easy. You just need to be in download mode which is easy enough to bet into blind.

ADB is done from a computer. If the settings.db has the answer, all you do is adb pull it, make the change and adb push it. Seems simple enough to me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
could try that. but i read elsewhere that the settings change will not affect ti as the boot.img file also needs to be stripped and modified to work with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Can't you just flash a supported custom kernel then? That's all boot image is. A kernel available in .tar? Siyah 1.9.1 tar flashed from Odin.

Then boot into recovery:

adb shell
mount system
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
SELECT * FROM global;
update global set value=1 where name='adb_enabled';
SELECT * FROM global;
CTRL + C
adb shell
mount system
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop

This should work. Yes, adb_enabled is the value set as 0 or 1 when turning usb debugging on or off, I tested it all ;)

Note SELECT * FROM global; shows all the values in the global table which is where adb_enabled is. It should say 0. Then you run the update command and then SELECT again to witness the change. I noticed that this did not persist after booting into android, which is why we need to put persist in the build prop. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
Huh. That's seeming a bit tough fer me especially after I left linux almost 10 years ago. But am eager to try it out. Will try so and check. yhanks fot the great info. Will revert
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can literally copy and paste that (line by line) into windows cmd prompt, once you have adb.exe dropped in c:\windows\system32

But yeah let me know please. I did test successfully so works for me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francisdsa:
Yea yea. Surely. I shall try tomorrow itself.

Finally got thru. Managed by using a usb otg with a keyboard and mouse and blindly shooting around the menus in the settings and taking screen shots at each step. Took me almost four hours to get There. Now am looking for a utility to control the phone from the pc. Myphoneexplorer does not work. Any better utilities that you can recommend? Don't have root as yet. Will try root on Monday. Wish me luck.

Also can anyone point out an app to make the Android phone a Vnc server to control it from another Android? DROID Vnc server was an app but needs root. Any one with no root requirements? Please list
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You should only have to mount with options if you're booted into android. You should not need to mount with options if you're booted into recovery. I'm not convinced you made it into recovery successfully....

Here's info on what i Have -

Samsung galaxy s3 T999L, Stock rooted with DocHoliday77's [Stock][ROM]Galaxy S3-LTE (cant post links yet :C)

i know they have to be .9.png's (but dont know what that means exactly) and have the background transparent

I know you have to put it in mms.apk (cant find it on my phone) saw 3 people say system/app/mms.apk

Here's what i get using ES File Explorer (cant find it in root explorer either)

View attachment 2205200

so does that mean I create a mms.apk there?

Thats all i could come up with.

So if anyone could direct me to a video(preffered) or thread with a step by step?

or explain how to find mms.apk?

Or if you're advanced make something along the lines of these colors?View attachment 2205263

And no idea if i have to edit what the green is showing for backgrounds???

Do I have to have a special program to open .9.pngs? (i have adobe cs6 master)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Urmet77:
So i gave up had the phone since 22 july a day less than month and i am dissapointed in the phone software(its the worst soft ever) mostly in music volume output but it looks good so i am bit sad that it has such a rubbish soft. Yesterday it went berserk and that was it for me went to shop and bought 2nd nicest phone on market htc one glamour red and o boy this phone is good and nice looking btw htc scored on antutu bench 25k from the box p6 scored 14k they difference is only 200mhz on cpu clock it shows how bad the huawei stock rom is written. As someone sayd the kernel is written for ics so good luck guys with your phones and u can waite for ages from huawei for soft updates its my 4th huawei and ever since they dont care about the updates or they are EXTREMELY slow(1 guy working :D ). The thing is that they stop developing soft when they release the phone as it seem to me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Makrilli:
You seriosly blame emotion ui for 11 k difference in bechmark? Dude. Htc one's SoC (snapdragon 600) is completely different from p6's SoC (k3v2 if I remenber correctly) They're from totally different leagues. Htc one is much more expensive, so sure you get more performance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Urmet77:
Nope not all on emui but it can do better and a lot better for instance take camera on p6 it lags on 1080p like hell on quad-core 1.5ghz??!! then some 3d game it's horrible I have gt-i9305lte aswell it scores with stock Rom 400 less than p6 on antutu but it won't lag on 1080p and runs the same game perfectly with no lag
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
Who said that the P6 competes with the HTC One? They are totally in a different class. The P6 is in the middle class and the One is in the Higher end class. If everyone has the money then most of us will probably buy the HTC one which is so much more expensive than the P6. Comparing the P6 and HTC One is unfair considering the difference in class and price bracket.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mkstevo:
Personally I like this 'phone far more than any other I've had in recent times.

I've got some bluetooth headphones which give a real volume boost, I did find this a little low to start with, but my Sony Xperia Z was equally as low. Even without my bluetooth headphones, it would not have persuaded me to go back to the Sony or my (much louder) iPhone 5.

The HTC one would have been an option, if it had some additional memory capacity.

Enjoy your new 'phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Urmet77:
Yes i admit while one red is 8.5 from 10 in design then P6 is clear 10/10 pure eyecandy :) but I can't cope with bad soft my nerves can't stand it. About memory i have 32gb class 10 in p6 aprox the same as one have btw I am gona sell p6 to my brother then I can get a hands on it when some new roms come .

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stanley_opt:
1. K3V2 is kind lower class and roughly one year older than snapdragon 600

2. K3V2 is a non-mainstream CPU combining non-mainstream graphic card,

so, when running antutu or so, surely its performance can't match the snapdragon 600,

and it does have poor compatibility for many high-requirement games, but NOT all

but, for those who is not a real game player, K3V2 is good enough

Most important, it's beautiful and cheap, right?

For all those saying this phone can't run good games............I want to say that i Have Asphalt 8 pirated one in my P6 as GPS say its is incompatible.Asphalt 8 runs very smoothly on P6 not lags a bit.Some high graphics game lag bcz p6 gpu is not compatible with them. I had emailed the gameloft to make a8 compatible with p6 and they replied that they are working on it.But still A8 is running perfectly on low graphics "not very low". We cant run it on higher graphics as a8 is not further compatible with medium and high graphics. But soon it will become compatible.

I'm on season 5 of a8 btw :cool: running class S car without lags :D

When doing simple tasks P6 don't lags now. And p6 also runs only two cores one [MENTION=1989751]400[/MENTION] other at@1000. Benchmarks don't mean anything for me. And i admit P6 is butter smooth for me.

It runs 4 cores only during games.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 with root!

I'd like to know 4 things:

1- If I use the "Triangle Away" on my device, when I reboot, will I still have the root?

2- To use this app, I have to know exactly what is my model (GT-i9505, SGH-M919...) How can I know what is it?

3- How can I know if I am running on "stock Samsung Kernel"?

4- (and most important) - When samsung launch it's new customized Android 4.3 (with all the cool things and etc.), I will have to install the new rom (with Odin, for example), isn't it? And will I lose the root and all my stuff (apps, data...)???

Thank you very much!

And sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
To find out if you have an I9505, pull out the battery and check the sticker underneath... It will say something like

Model - GT-I9505

Serial number and other info underneath...

You will still have root after using triangle away. However, I would suggest to also install the 3 minute framework then add the xposed syscope blaster mod. It will reset the Status under settings to "Official" too.... All this needs root to be installed and won't remove it.

Have you flashed another kernel? If all you have done is rooted your phone then you have stock kernel.

If you have the International I9505 I would suggest BUYING Mobile ODIN from the playstore. Yo can then download whatever rom you like from Sammobile.com and flash on the phone . You will keep root and get the latest firmware. Just don't run software updates pushed to the phone...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymusicathome:
1- I only use triangle away when selling a device. Worked great. Restore/flash touchwiz Rom, wipe, install triangle away, reset counter, reboot to download mode and Odin to stock, wipe and you can now take official over the air updates.

2- see above reply

3- when next update is released do a titanium backup of apps, follow step 1, and then root and restore apps... or you can wait for an updated ROM and flash that... settings should remain in tack.

For now I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to make sure give it a go now. Odin to the first software released and if you do it correctly you will be able to receive the OTA update.
