[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasmani:
I now have the latest 4.3 ...but it's not rooted..I flashed the Jellybean superuser.zip with no hope ...could you please help...I want to restore my TB apps...I really want my device to be rooted........thnx

I lost root access on my Captivate when I switched from 4.2.2 I believe it was the last stable version of jelly bean to 4.3 Jelly Bean. I started off using different beta's on 4.3 for SlimBean rom prior to the stable official release that was just recently created. In the process I had discovered that I had lost root access.

Anyway I discovered it was just disabled by default I believe or something like that it seems. Here's how you can re-enable it again.

Go into Settings<About Phone

Scroll down to Build number tap on it 7 times and it'll enable developer options. In the Settings menu under the SYSTEM section you should now have a section labeled Developer options.

Go into Developer options then go into the menu Root access within it and select apps and adb. You should now have root access.

Developers options> root> select apps and adb. You should have root access which you can verify with root checker among other app programs.

Special thanks to BTRL30NTM for pointing this out on Helly Bean forums. I think had read about it in some change logs or someplace prior before, but completely forgot about it or how it was done.

ok i had the sprint gs4 but traded it for the htc one.. but i dont remember how i did it.. but he is still on MDL and he wants to be on MF9.. i rooted his phone months ago put twrp on it and flashed freegs4 rom.. i just went to his house to try and update it for him and i flashed the firmwear update in odin everything went great i looked in about phone and its still MDL?? so how do i update him to MF9 the rite way>? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Grab the full Odin frimware tar and flash that. It'll bring it up to MF9 completely stock. Then use CF Autoroot to get root, install goomanager and install twrp or cwm.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TonyTurboII:
The baseband shows as MDL still?

Or the software version does? Or both?

If you're on an old version of freegs4, it's probably based off of a MDL build, and the software version would still show MDL.

Check the baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] P.Mobile:
well sorry for got to say then i flashed the new sacs rom which is MF9 but it still said MDL.. everything still was MDL?? So he still MDL.. Just trying to get him on board with MF9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Its better if you just flash him straight mf9 stock rather than just flash an mf9 rom. Could save him and you from any troubles. Like the one your encountering now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TonyTurboII:
I think leader builder had the best solution then. A full reload of the MF9 firmware then reroot with chainfire.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
does any one know how to export/extract Swype keyboard user custom dictionary ? or atleast to locate it/them on the phone ?

I want to migrate to Touchpal keyboard but I dont want to start inputtting all my words manually again. I already have a huge list which I have been building over a long time !

Touchpal keyboard is very nice and I highly recommend it to try it out if you guys dont know or havent used it they even have tablet edition by the way :cool: link
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinMo:
I'm also very interested in this topic. Nobody here with a hint how this could work?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
I guess just stick with Swype Dragon or just deal with the pain of starting from scratch with touchpal keyboard
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinMo:
I just sent an Support ticket to Swype asking if there's an option to export/import words of/to the user dictionary of Swype and additionally asking if there is a general problem with dictionaries bigger than about 1300 words. Swype worked miserable for me as my dictionary grew this big. I had to manually delete words to solve this probleme and I was quite a bit annoyed...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
yes me too, I think I did contact them about a year ago. they said no. if they do help you let me know
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinMo:
The support answered me, that the export is not possible and thats really bad.

The import is annoying but no big thing. Just make an long txt file, one word a line. You can't import all the words at once, but if you mark about twenty of them and then long press the Swype key you will be pretty quick importing 1200 words - what I did in about 20 minutes or so.

Why is my nav bar squished and how do I fix it without wiping the thing?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Um which ROM are you on, cause u can always just reflash the system partition of your device without wiping all your data. Just wipe the system partition in twrp and reflash the ROM and gapps, might help to wipe cache and dalvik cache as well. Personally I have no idea what's causing that, I doubt its a DPI issue. Anyways if you reflash the system partition and it persists then I would worry, because it would be something on the data partition.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0nkeysensei:
Running on stock rom because I would always get red firewall of death when I tried to custom. Its just rooted and heavily modified.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Oh, well you can still restore the system partition in fastboot mode via kffa without wiping anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jaytheman221:
I have searched everywhere I could think of, but I cannot seem to find a viable source for touch sound replacements. I am using CM10.1.3, I know how to change the sound, but I am just attempting to see if anyone possibly has any cool sound files that would make good touch sounds. I'm really big into customizing, just another thing I'm working on.

If confused on what I'm talking about, example would be the water drop sound on stock S4 when tapping a menu item, just looking for other cool sounds/replacement for that sound.

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tnadawg89:
I would like this as well to replace the water drop effect on TW.. I actually prefer the vanilla Android sound..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MENACE_69:
Hello guys, I'm glad to see a thread finally made on this sweet!!!

What I do to switch the notification, touch, unlock, lock, ect sounds that I don't like on my stock rom is, download a rom I do like these sounds on Google edition (example) go into the file with root browser under system /media/audio it list ui,notification,ring tones and alarms and I extract it go into the extracted folder listen to it make sure I like it, rename it to match the sound I want to replace, place it in the correct folder under system/media/audio and set the correct permissions, reboot and shaka -kaun..

It does the trick for me but its only a work around unless I run into a flashable zip but I don't mind it was worth the annoying water drop touch sound. Hope this helps :)

[Moto X Q&A] jncryer:
any way to change what tiles are in the quick settings / notification pull-down tray? I'd like a vibrate/silent toggle there, but I cant find anything in the settings that would do that...
[Moto X Q&A] linuxgator:
You need root to be able to change them. With root, you can use any of a number of different modules with the Xposed Framework app.
[Moto X Q&A] Xaroc8:
Linuxgator is right. Be rooted and installed Xposed Framework. Installing moduals like MotoXposed or GravityBox have great tile options + much more.

I feel like I should be posting this in the beta/development section, but I AM actually talking about the final release here.

Anyway, there is no other way to put this, so I'll just go ahead and say it.... The all new and improved Siri doesn't know who the current leader of my country is! lol. No, I'm not kidding....

I would probably understand if I lived in some tiny island in the South Pacific, but my country is in the G20... I mean, really??

In any case, I can't say that I'm too impressed with the new Siri. What to do you guys think?

Can anyone help me in making my bootanimation??

I've made it...but it's not working...

1) same name as stock..

2) correct desc.txt

3) same pictures name.

Compression level:>> store..

And I've checked then using boot animation factory,

romtool box pro with bootanimation preview...and they are working there as I made... But when I replace them then it's not working..

And I've tried on stock 4.0.3 Rom and also on 4.2.2 , same problem...

Anyone have any ideas.... What is wrong?:confused::confused:

Please how do i enable the sound
[HTC Amaze 4G] Suburban2010:
Sorry for not response earlier :(, my bad.

You need to put audio file in the same place of the animation file, and then go to file explorer, menu, then give it permission to write/read, go to phone /system /customize /cid, press on default.xml and edit it, scroll down until you see where it says <BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" audio="" (or whatever it say betwen "" ) and replace it with "/system/customize/resource/minions.mp3", and press menu then save.

This work for sense rom, if you hace aosp rom, replace "system/costumize/resource" for "system/media"

Hope this works for you. :good:

I also get "Call forwarding Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when i try to punch in a code to change call forwarding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw I am on a P769.

I went back to 20f and it works I can access and change call forwarding and use mmi codes but when i went back to CM or PAC i get the errors again.

Please help!

Yep, didn't work for me too on CM10.2. Probably something with RIL. There is an error in the radio log but it's cryptic. Not sure I can fix it easily, RIL files are proprietary.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Nano:
I am using the XDA I with Bootloader 5.15

This is my first time trying to update.

I dowloaded the T-Mobile Windows Mobile 2003 Update v4.01.19GER and extract the NK.nbf file. I put the SD Card in my XDA and used OSImageTool for taking the NK.nbf file on my SD Card.

Then I took my XDA out of the cradle and entered the Bootloader, normally there must be a message saying sth. like "SD Download", but there was nothing like this. I only saw a message "GSM OK".

I read several threads about updating, always saying with Bootloader 5.15 there is no problem. Maybe my bootloader is broken or sth like this?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Nano:
Problem solved.

It seems the NK.nbf file from T-Mobile was somehow corrupted, I tried another Wm2003 ROM File and it worked fine.
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
LG G2 EFS Backup Zip

Background

The G2 has no built in EFS backup partitions. EFS contains things like your MEID or IMEI... your data profiles.. radio settings. The EFS cannot be replaced... it is unique to your phone only... backing up your OWN EFS is highly recommended.

I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
​

Backing up EFS

In TWRP, flash the LG_G2_Backup_EFS.zip attached in this thread. LG_G2_Backup_EFS.zip creates a flashable zip backup of your EFS in /sdcard/EFS_Backup/. Please check to make sure the backup zip worked and actually made a .zip file. Any issues please list what recovery and version you are using and please post the recovery.log.

Backup your efsbackupflashable.zip somewhere else besides your internal SD!!! Email.. cloud.. PC..

Restoring EFS

To restore your original EFS just boot into recovery and flash the efsbackupflashable.zip in your /sdcard/EFS_Backup folder.

If flashable zip wasn't created or to manually restore efs img files run the following commands using adb shell while in recovery:

dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1

dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2

​

Backup ALL Partitions

Well almost all... I am attaching another zip which backs up most of your phones partitions.. excluding system/data/cache and some other useless partitions. Backing up all partitions isn't as important as backing up the EFS but it can't hurt. Never know when you may need it.. especially those who like to poke around with their phone and try new things.

Run the zip in recovery.. it will make backup .img files on your internal sdcard in a new folder named "backupz"... remember to copy your backups off the internal sdcard.
​
[G2 Android Development] drkow19:
Wow nice find and quick work! I wonder what the chances are of messing you current info up, so your backup would actually be necessary?
[G2 Android Development] ScottIsMyName:
Even if the chances are really small, it is always nice to have a backup.

I'm on Verizon. It did make a folder but it was empty. No zip inside. Checked with es file explorer
[G2 Android Development] jasonsf:
Same situation here.
[G2 Android Development] autoprime:
hmm k... this happened on the LG OG as well... then some people had it working on CWM.. some people had to flash an AOSP rom first.. seems random. If someone can provide me the recovery.log after flashing the efs zip that would help. I'm going to bet its an issue with 7z packing the zip the new flashable zip for some reason or another.

i uploaded a new zip which will still try to make the flashable zip.. while also backing up the individual efs partitions.

redownload the new zip to backup efs img files.

To manually restore efs img files run the following commands using adb shell while in recovery:

dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem_st1

dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem_st2

[G2 Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Hi Smiler51,

Because the destination are actual block devices (partitions), you will need to dd the files into the respective locations. Copy and paste just won't do.

What is happening that you cannot get it to work? If it is an ADB (driver) problem, you could (although typing in the commands on the phone leave a lot of room for error, something there is no room for) copy the backups to your SD card, and issue the commands via Terminal Emulator (app download):

dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2
[G2 Android Development] smiler51:
Thank you Joel.

I will maybe try to do it directly from the phone, as i can't get it to work form the computer.

The modemst.img files are in the location /sdcard/modemst1.img and /sdcard/modemst2.img.

Smiler51

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

i tried entering the command from the Terminal App for modemst1.img.

I get the error "cannot open for write: Permission denied".

How can i change the permissions?

Thanks
[G2 Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Oops, forgot. Enter the following command first:

su

This will give you superuser permissions (as long as you are rooted).
[G2 Android Development] smiler51:
It ran without giving me an error, but it didn't confirm anything to me neither from the Terminal Window. After pressing enter, it switched to the next line and let me enter the second command.

The phone is still working, so i assume the efs fiels have been replaced successfully :)

Thanks again Joel!
[G2 Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
You're welcome. :)

Common thing with Linux - if if does not tell you anything , it's safe to say the command executed successfully. But it's strange that dd didn't give you a "records in/out" summary. Ah well.
