[Moto X Q&A] jco23:
reviving this thread - I would like to encrypt my phone, but would that mean having to place a password on my device each time I unlock it? I would rather the password/PIN enabled at bootup only.

basically, I do not want to lose the ability to use bluetooth via my car and the touchless controls if my device requires to be touched due to the encryption.

anyone that has encrypted their phone care to chime in?

thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
i had to encrypt my phone as a result of my employer's corporate email policies. encryption requires you to input a password when your phone is powered on/rebooted, in order to decrypt the device. in addition to that, boot times take twice as long because the OS boots once, realizes your data is encrypted, then boots again.

as far as unlocking the device, encryption forces you to have at minimum NFC unlock (moto skip), which isn't as painful as having to put in a pin every time. however, all active notifications and touchless controls work as expected.

with that said, my corp policies put so many restrictions on my phone, i couldn't even use the touchless controls with my phone locked. device administrator blocked them. long story short, i'm rooted now.
[Moto X Q&A] jco23:
thanks for the response. I probably would encrypt if I didn't have to do that moto skip or password unlock. just don't want to have to carry that piece around with me and take the time to enter a password (I know, I know, it only takes a second with a pattern, but still quite annoying). but I suppose that's the price you pay for security.

I need tun.ko module for vpn connection! my phone is xperia s jb .96 firmware
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
No you don't. :)

Now after being so bold, what application are you trying to use?

I associate tun,ko with OpenVPN on UDP port 1194.

Are you trying to install a home baked OpenVPN(other VPN service) that locks you into a specific server as part of the app and etc???

I have OpenVPN running on my XPERIA LT26i with 6.2.B.1. 96 ROM and it's working just fine.

No tun.ko file required

Use the 'new' ICS 4.0.4 OpenVPN applications and above and you don't even need root access.

Ok, fellas. I tried several times with GingerBreak, but to no avail. I then moved on to SuperOneClick and was successful in obtaining superuser privileges. Now onto the next step: flashing kamesh's and antdking's p350 toolkit, and making a Nandroid. :)

Use antdking toolkit it's better :D

hehe, I couldn't help but do it the old fashioned way. I used the adb shell, although I was unable to get the $ su. I just entered adb shell su. So, now I have my recovery flashed. I immediately made a Nandroid and I am about to check the integrity of: the back up. :cowboy:

This was brought up in the Q&A section, so I thought I would post this here. This tip applies to the stock text messaging app:

Pinch the screen in either direction within a text conversation and it will either increase or decrease the bubbles and font size.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
The one thing I dislike about the phone, the SMS/MMS app...its soooo iPhone Cartoony!!! can't stand it lol. Using slide messaging pro so I dont have to stare at the default.
[G2 General] jayochs:
I really like the pop-ups on stock SMS so I'm still using that.. mainly bc they don't interrupt what you're doing. I use glowfly on all my phones as sms pop-ups, but if I'm watching a video it pauses the video and takes priority... stock SMS doesn't. it's like a mini q slide app. I like it.
[G2 General] dmbardal:
ah, thank you!

You can hit settings and change the messager's theming.

This is how I have mine set...
[G2 General] MobileNick:
Problem I have is even pinched out to smallest size and using smallest font in settings, the stock messaging app text is *huge*! Just switched to using Chomp SMS & works much better.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitch77:
My GT P6800 was working fine a few days ago. Charged it fully and went on holidays. Went to turn it on, and no activity. Plugged it in to charge, the battery icon came on screen and I let it charge fully. I then tried to turn it on again, and it still wouldn't turn on. I've now found that the only thing I can do is boot into download mode. Vol Down and Power brings up the Download Mode menu, when I press Vol Up, it enters Download Mode, when I press Vol Down to reboot, the screen blanks and nothing happens. I've tried pressing the power button for up to 30 seconds - nothing. I've tried entering recovery mode using Vol Up and Power buttons - nothing.

I entered download mode and tried to install ClockworkMod recovery using Odin, but once Odin had finished and "rebooted" the tablet, the screen went blank and nothing happened.

I'm happy to blow this away, install any ROM etc., would just like to get it working. It's been a while since I last rooted/flashed it, but I believe it's still running 4.04, and was rooted some time ago.

Any tips very welcome!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Try flash a full stock firmware package with Odin.

Try with your current firmware version first.

Try with HC 2nd.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitch77:
Thanks - will give that a go. Trying to find right stock firmware now :) Will let you know how it works out.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitch77:
Hmmm... I installed P6800XXLQ2_P6800OXALQ2_ATO obtained from Sammobile using ODIN, had "Automatically reboot" ticked, and once the flashing finished, the device didn't reboot. I then tried all the power button options, and the only one that gave a response was entering download mode. I then entered download mode, and let it sit there for a while while I did a bit more research, and then I noticed the screen went blank. I've now tried to turn it on again, and now get no response at all. Will try to plug it in to charge for a bit and see if it responds.

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitch77:
Ok, not sure what's happened here. Plugged it in, it showed the charge icon, and then booted up. Nothing has been wiped, it still shows as 4.0.4. I'm wondering if for some reason it was actually booting, but the screen wasn't coming on properly, and therefore it's run the battery down. It's now showing as charging, and the battery currently has 0% charge. Will let it charge for a while, then try root, install CWM and flash 4.1.2....

thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donis:

Lots of discussion around this topic, but I'm not seeing a confirmed guide for what must by now be a common task.

I was flashing new Cyanogen ROMS up until August, when they made the change requiring updated firmware. What's the best process for updating?

Here's my phone:

RADIO-1.13.50.05.25

OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622

TWRP 2.4.1.0

Currently running CyanogenMod:10.1-20130304-Experimental-ville-M2

(On of the last of the 10.1 ROMs before the updated kernel requirement?)​

What's the best way to get to cm-10.1.3-RC2-ville.zip, or perhaps to other 4.2 / 4.3 ROMS?

Thanks.
[HTC One S] real187:
I would.

Ruu to stock, do otas till the jb firmware. (no supercid), then make it custom again.

But if you want s-off, it's best to do that first.

some jb stock roms have issues with getting supercid thus also getting s-off so check that first!!!!!

You have been warned:mad:;)

this is the only screen i can get into although when i plug odin in it dees it as if it is in download mode. ALTHOUGH the only tar file i have for this phone fails every time. so i am stuck with this error please dont tell me i Bricked someone else s phone cause i don't really have the money. so really finding the right files is the only think keeping me from getting both an a$$ whoopin and have to buy a new phone cant afford and to play the saddest song on the worlds smallest violin i freaking vut the tip off my thumb the other day and just getting this phone to work will make my life a little better (i know everyone has issues but this is also a disabled persons phone so she needs a lifeline so unless this works ill be trading a SGS3 for An SGS Brick. in all i have been reading and some have fixed this but with the correct file for the device so i am on my knees pleading with the community to help me fix this phone also she has MS and if you know about MS you will be helping out a woman who doesnt need more stress in her life thanks in advance (also sorry in advance as i am typing this with one hand (my thumb top is cut off) so sorry for the bad typing and formatting
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
That is a form of download mode.

Look under the battery and let's make sure it's a 959v (model)

Lumin30 has a good guide out for the phone (with links to some one click solutions)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BeatnikBandit:
Yeah it is an

SGH-T959V

I just cant find the right files to use. I think it is a error download mode as Odin does not (AFAIK) detect the phone when its not in download mode? It shows up on Odin no problem although and PDA file i try fails i think it may be boot-loader too??

The phone wants me to connect to kies and fix it. Its part of the error message. I installed kies (I never really had it except for drivers so i don't know the program but it does not detect the phone (i believe because it has been modified??)

Basically an Odin flash got shut off early that started this problem then i tried to Re-Flash the same file and it failed so basically i cant find first, the information i need to fix this error on this phone, I have seen some other Samsung phones with this error and they were all fixed with Odin and a couple files to flash and it works on those phone on you tube.So I BELIEVE AND HOPE that someone has placed the knowledge needed to do this online i cant find it. So after finding out what to do is also get the files i would be lucky if they are on the same page and are working links as everything i look for information on this phone i get broken links as most posts are about a year old (i suppose when interest in this phone started to wain GREATLY in not so much development (thanks devs you guys rock) but users having problems they don't know how to fix like me because Imm not even close to a dev of any kind.

Thanks and sorry for the long post for one question. (also i did not flash the wrong phone type although IDK if this is just as bad)

Thanks for all the help I hope to resolve this. I just don't have the money to buy a new phone for her and i effed hers up and being disabled she needs a lifeline at all times so i need to get this fixed ASAP i appreciate all your help,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
So.. I think what you need is to try the gremlin remover. If you have working odin drivers it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BeatnikBandit:
i have the usb drivers in the seance that the computer (when formatted correctly) recognizes it as a media device or something and right now not only does Odin find it but my computer even makes the notify noise when i connect although their is no device the computer seams to know its their.

I can try gremlin remover but then what should i do? I thought gremlin remover was a tool to remove un needed files from your sd card partition? Although IDK ill check that out and try not ill post back with my efforts. The problem is i don't think i have the correct files for Odin. Superoneclick did not work for this phone so i used Odin and an old Rom it was still the needed GB file though. ANYWAY i have lost all files maybe after i use gremlin i can use hemdall?? IDK i would think Odin would be better although currently idk the state of my phone will hemdall think its already rooted etc also kies wont work i would think its because of it not having a Samsung boot loader (i hope one of any kind) I hope gremlin remover works if not and Just in case if anyone is following please don't hesitate to wait for my responses just post how to fix this and ill try it all and whoever helps most gets a gold star LOL in all I am desperate for help and will try anything that wont make it worse. (if it can get worse)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Have you tried a different cord? Different usb port? Most recommend using the ports on the back of the computer.

Which thread/Rom were you flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BeatnikBandit:
I have tried moving the usb cord to different ports odin and gremlin both tell me it has been added with a yellow color in the box. then everything i have tried fails.

I cant seam to find the file i used for some reason although i know it was the latest file (the reason why is also because i was using an older stock firmware when i first rooted this phone) i have been looking for something to fix this for it feels so long now i may have lost it for a little while or accidentally deleted it.

I was REALLY hoping Gremlin remover would work, hemdall doesn't work either (all detect but always fail). I am hoping this is not bricked all i need are the correct files and order to flash them using odin? for all of the fixes for this error on other devices it seams to be a bootloader error and must flash 2-3 different files with odin to make it work again rooted or not. a pda file a bootloader file and sometimes another. I hope that methods would work for me since i have the same error and all these programs detect my phone but for some reason (none say) why but they all fail.

tonight's update:

I wish i could find a post like THIS that has files for this phone, I have No idea how many flashes it may have on a flash counter but i am thinking about going to a t-mo store tell them i was updating the battery died and now this is all i have. If they ask anything about updating ill just state the owner knew nothing about the update (or i will prep her to go in herself she will easily play dumb as she really knows no idea about flash counter etc she will be like what is that and be serious so i hope that works if no one can help me here. IDK what is wrong with it i have yet to see a post about this to fix it let alone be so difficult. It defaults into a sort of download mode but everything fails i formatted the SD card too (this phone is wierd, to me as it uses both phone and SD card memory as one and if only i could just switch the sd card as this is something wrong with the phone partitions or something IDK im no dev. Anyway that's my update for tonight 9/18

[Off Topic] i need to b**** like a little girl this has been so crappy i am still hoping my thumb is healing right (I've never chopped the pit of my finger off, also i hope people online don't know their measurements because all of them seam EXTREMELY small like 1x2 mm is that really chopping it off? i lost like an 1/8th of my nail with it its more like 1x2 cm large (maybe they believe the other side of a ruler is mm not mm and cm? hoping again. its too late now but i probably should have gone to the dr but all they would have done is a more painful cleaning and re bandage it, probably correctly lol Thanks if you read my little girl moment)

I tried That Gremlin remover before my previous post although i don't have the information from it although i don't remember it telling me anything other than "FAIL!"

I have had no luck with any of these apps i think the only option i have is multiple file flashing with Odin although it seams i have some Partition error so i may need to find a way to fix that (if possible).

I wish more people were here as i know several people on xda could probably help me fix it but they have probably moved on to other projects and maybe lost the files.

Right now Champ without your help IDK what to do i am basically trying things i can find and anything you can so its a little like 2 minds at least working on this phone although i know a lot less.

Have you tried heimdall (the one clicks) & Odin. Drivers for Odin and heimdall clash.

I would search for lumin30's guide and follow it after installing drivers. Let the one click reinstall & flash twice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BeatnikBandit:
Every Odin file i try always fails i cant seam to find an Odin file that would do what the hawk file does because i cant get the hack file to recognize a device but Odin and Heimdall do but fail. So all i can think of is possibly if i can find Odin files that do what the hawk file does. As most of the one click programs AFAIK are similar to Odin but more like an Odin batch file to do All that is needed, Being that Odin recognizes the device maybe it will work although it might fail no matter what possibly the reason why the hawk file finds no device.

Right now I am contemplating having the owner (she is disabled and in her fifty's) go to the local t-mobile store and play DUMB. Basically the battery died or something because the screen was black when i cam back to it (after attempting an OTA update claiming she never did it when it first came and was told to do it no although not really knowing how to do it she tries) the screen is black and she notices the phone is off or frozen so she tries to turn the phone back on (maybe turning it off then on She doesn't know) then she tried to get some kies thing online but it didn't do anything (not knowing even how to use kies or install the correct version if asked)

THE ONLY AND MOST GLARING PROBLEM I CAN THINK OF WITH THIS IS

I have no idea if it is dead enough to not show a flash counter or if it is checked as it will have at least one. (maybe she could say she tried to install something she found online that said it would fix it?)

Is their anything i can do at this point to make the above plan work besides just trying and hoping they will give her a break?

Maybe someone knows the process for this and if it works how much money am i looking at and if it doesn't i suppose ill be looking for an affordable t-Mobile or unlocked phone that's pretty basic as all i want is a phone at least similar but nothing on GB i don't want to root her phone she doesn't need it she does need at least ICS as ICS supports most things JB users like I use. So yeah I guess suggestions for another phone too if it comes to that I hope someone knows the process for this and that they don't automatically check if the phone was modified before they do anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
If it's a SGH-T959V, then there's no flash counter and there's never been an OTA update, though there were some versions that used Kies to get it from Froyo or early GB to 2.3.6. If it's a SGH-T959W, then there's a flash counter, there's never been an OTA update, and any firmware modifications are a dead giveaway that the warranty is voided.

Regarding wanting another phone... there's always a ton of 'free' phones being offered. Especially if you aren't leaving stock, it's easy to get something since then you don't really care about the community, just where the phone starts.
