CF_Auto_Root

Hi,

Thats an issue. Tried several times to auto root the device via Chainfire's method. Odin shows me it's ok but after reboot of device it stuck while entering the recovery boot. So this won't work unfortunately.

Cheers,

I think I've find the cause of my problem described in this topic. Probably my device is hit by the new firmware I9505XXUDMH8... Comes with Knoxx en and new bootloader. This explain why I cannot flash my device. Tried on 3 different computers but Odin still fail. Is there any progress reported already by developers to bypass/solve the new security trick of Samsung ? My Phone is worthless now... Thnx in advance.

You should be able to flash the mh8 firmware with odin, just no previous versions of the firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mentosbaby:
OK, good hint I will try and let know the outcome ! Thxn JD :)

No luck. I've tried to flash the Phone with I9505XXUDMHB_I9505PHNDMHB_I9505XXUDMHB_HOME.tar.md5 but it failed immediately. I have a GT-I9505 (Dutch). Please can you confirm this is the right firmware or supply me with the right one ?? Many Thanks !

if you have a locked bootloader, you can not downgrade.

here might be a solution, flash Knox free pre-rooted odex MH8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 flash it with odin 3.04

PS. tell us where odin failed
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I get firmware from sammobile.com. Looking there it looks like you've got the latest firmware for your phone that's available. Did it fail on the md5 check? If it does it could be a bad download.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mentosbaby:
MD5 check was ok. When starting "writting NAND" it failed immediately. Will try to flash the proposed Knox free pre-rooted odex MH8 by samersh72. Downloading now !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Good. And your using the PDA slot in odin with only auto-reboot check? Your nand could be bad too. Which would not be good. But it should be covered under warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mentosbaby:
Yes the PDA slot with auto-boot and F. Reset Time checked. Could this be an issue ? I agree with your nand failure option. I can't even get into recovery booting. Show only the tekst but no further progress. Dealing with these issues for three days now.. Next step is back to seller for warranty :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
No, you have Odin set up properly f.reset won't made a difference

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
The only other option would be Odin ver 1.85. I've had better luck with that than 3. But after that, I'm out of options.

When you took it to the repair shop did they try to jtag it? If not that may be your only hope. Check out mobiletechvideos.com. talk to them first to see if they can fix your device. You'll have to explain what you've done. There also good about not charging you if they can't fix it.

So I'm new to this xda forum thing and I just have a simple question regarding my note 2 sgh-i317m from rogers. I'm looking to root and flash the latest cyanogenmod to my phone but I've read that to root your phone you must have an unlocked bootloader. So I don't know if my note 2's bootloader is unlocked, whether its already unlocked by rogers when i received it or how to check if it is or isn't. I've looked around all over for an answer to my question and all I've found is a non legit article about how most Canadian note 2's are already unlocked. I don't want to go ahead with rooting my phone and having it brick because my bootloader is locked so I would appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lmarr28:
As soon as I upgraded my 2013 Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) to JSS15R I started having a problem where every time I try to uninstall an app the tablet reboots. It's not a full reboot, however - it just jumps to the Nexus "X" logo and boots from there.

When I originally updated I was rooted, but I've since performed two factory resets and I still have the issue. I've searched and found lots of posts talking about random reboots, but this definitely isn't random. It's recreatable every time and only seems to happen when uninstalling an app. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Here's a vid showing what happens:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2fDb4kHsY&feature=youtu.be
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lmarr28:
I seem to have fixed it. I'll leave the post here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

A factory reset won't do it. You need to do a full Flash Stock and Unroot. I downloaded the factory JSS15R image from Google, then used the "Flash Stock + Unroot" option in WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything appears to be back to normal now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] GJT-UK:
Thanks for the thread.

I have the same issue mentioned above and can confirm that I have "never" rooted my new Nexus 7, so this is not likely the cause.

Also, the previous poster found that a full factory reset did not sort the issue, so thanks for this and now I won't lose time trying a reset.

Also, the previous poster pulled a full stock image from Google, which fixed his issue. Therefore, this might imply that the JSS15R incremental [I believe all updates so far for this devices were incremental] does not apply properly [in some or all cases]? and/or some bits were left out of the incremental? Or some errors were encountered while applying the incremental? Logs somewhere?

So, any idea when / if a full image will be rolled out from Google for the Nexus 7 (2013)? Never?

I suppose this is only thing good about the ~200 MB "full" CyanogenMod (CM) 10.2 nightly images I put on my SGS III [no incremental issues].

After owning this tablet for 2 months, I as still hoping for stability and have resisted "rooting it" or "ROMming it" in case I need to send to ASUS against the 1 year USA warranty [purchased from Best Buy in USA - April 2013 manufacture date]. Now in London, UK, so no easy way to return it to Best Buy or ASUS USA. :(

BTW, my first purchase of this problematic tablet was returned to Google (Play Store) in early August 2013. Most of the sensors did NOT work.

A bit off topic, but I wonder how well CM 10.2 would behave on this tablet? since even the core Android 4.3 software from Google [which CM is based on] is "still" struggling with issues 3 months after launch for so many Nexus 7 (2013) users.

If I have to wipe the device and install a full JSS15R ROM, then I am open to putting a different ROM like CM.

A lot of the issues with the camera are that the stock camera app sucks, Google needs to spend a little time making a half way decent camera app.
[Nexus 4 General] patstock11:
So its more on the software side not hardware? I'm surprised custom Roms haven't gone to town on the camera
[Nexus 4 General] blinde:
So if Nexus 5 has the same camera as G2, how come it has that weird camera lens in those leaked pics? G2 doesn't have that kind on lense or stuff around it.

I doubt that design really changes much from final Nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
I'm fairly sure that's what it was, people were discussing it a long time ago but I can't really find it. There were even people comparing which camera was better and in the end it died down after they realized both cameras were the same model by Sony or something. There were even a few people having issues with the purple haze on the iPhone 5, who also had it with the Nexus 4, so that gave it away initially, or so I think. It's been a long time, don't remember.
[Nexus 4 General] albundy2010:
The Nexus 4 does not have the same camera as the iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
I'm pretty sure most custom ROMs use the stock camera app. CM was using Focal but the dev had them take it out after CM incorporated and now CM is back to the stock AOSP camera. By the way Focal is now a beta app in the Playstore and is worth checking out.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
The issue is the iPhone does much better photo processing than pretty much any phone. This is done at the driver level and not really directly in the app itself. Hopefully, Google can really improve the experience on the N5.

how do i know what i have?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
You turn the tab completely off, then hold volume down + power for a few secs. When the initial screen comes on, the top should tell you what bootloader you have. If it's 10.4.xxx, then it's 4.1; if 10.6.xxx then it's 4.2. Another way to tell is to look at the icons at this screen. If you have 4 icons (including one with the USB sign, it's 4.1); if you have 3 (no USB), it's 4.2. If you should be so lucky as to have 9.x.xxx bootloader, then you're on ICS, in which case I'd strongly recommend that you do NVflash before upgrading. NVflash would render your tab unbrickable, well almost.

Past that point, if you select RCK, you'll get into your custom recovery, if you've flashed one. TWRP will tell you at the top which version you have.

Question is: does anybody know how to application-unlock respectively security-unlock the Universal ?

I need to unlock it e.g. to make changes to the registry or e.g. to re-arrange the Start Menu.

Have done search in the forum but did not find anything that worked. The unlocker at buzzdev is not what I am looking for, since the JASJAR is already SIM unlocked.

Anybody have a clue ?
