Thanks meekrawb!

Okay that makes sense. I wasn't getting anywhere so I rest the phone back to bone stock using the instructions in this thread.

So now I'm totally stock & un-rooted; Android: 2.3.6 Baseband: T989UVKL1 Kernel: 2.6.35.11 Build: Gingerbread.UVKL1

What's the proper way to get to

I'm no longer rooted at the moment. I've looked around and found this thread but I would need to be rooted first.

Once I get there I should be able to get TWRP 2.6.1.0 using the link provided in the previous post (thank you).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
Odin flash this file that mikeyman made to make sure you have the newest firmware:

https://db.tt/sgyIphAD

Then Odin the TWRP tar.

After that, you can flash your ROM and gapps. No need to root first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] discodraft:
I downloaded the file and flashed via odin (in PDA right??)... Odin says: MD5 hash value is invalid. What do now?

Thanks ahead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
I forgot you probably need to delete the mikeyman77_ from the front of the file. If that still doesn't work you can download the whole firmware from here

Thank you so much for your help. I am now enjoying my first 4.3 rom (SlimBean)!

your firmware is really really old. try upgrading to latest jellybean. and if you cant flash through your phone try flashing through odin:good:

I've been enjoying my device running slim bean 4.3. However I don't have root access which is required for using titanium back up or the like. Can I get root access now without wiping all my data, would I have to re-flash the ROM? And what's the best way to go about it?

Thanks ahead!

There is a way to switch it on in settings somewhere but I'm not sure where because I use SuperSU. Just flash this in recovery

Hi, I have bought 3 of these for my car, but none of them is perfect yet.

I 1st tried the

New Potato Technologies TuneLink Auto Bluetooth for Android

It is great, it auto start when the car start, and sound is great, however, I also need it to be a BT handsfree device.

Then I bought these 2

EDUP Hands-free A2DP with mic

Avantree Cara

the EDUP sound quality is so bad, so I bought the avantree.

However, both of them does not auto start when I start the car.

I have contact avantree and they said there will be a cara 2 that will autostart, but it is not ready yet.

I wonder are there any product that is a Bluetooh handsfree + A2DP to aux with apt-x compression or good sound quality and autostart when the car start now?

I know I some headunit or parrot handsfree + a2dp can autostart , but that's what I am trying to avoid, I dont want to change the HU or drill some holes for the parrot handsfree 's microphone.

Eer since the MH8 update, SELinux has been set to enforcing, which has become a nightmare as half of my apps don't work. I just get the notification saying "An applications has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device"

I am rooted, so how can I sort this out so it's back to permissive?!

You can't...

This is why everyone's so not flashing the new firmwares yet, at least until all the security has been removed or disabled...

I'm running on SCH-I545 everytime I use Volume Up, Power, and Home button combo it attempts to go into recovery but instead it goes to Odin mode instead. I installed CWM correctly I believe through ROM Manager app and when I select to reboot into recovery through the app it does the same thing, When I do boot normally I don't see the custom symbol anymore but my root checker says I am rooted. Am I not rooted correctly. Is my bootloader not unlocked? Please help I really want to install a new rom but I'm still in stock touchwiz :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
You're doing it wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You boot into downloader mode using Volume Down, Power, and Home.

You boot into recovery using Volume Up, Power, and Home.

Since you're booting into downloader mode, you're using the wrong volume button. Use the other one.

Or install Rom Manager or Quick Boot and use them to reboot into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aliensk8er:
Still nothing!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is what I do but like I said it still goes into downloader even when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Sounds like youre on me7 and then installed a custom recovery which you cant do. Thats why its going to download mode. Youll have to flash a stock image through odin to get back your stock recovery. The only thing me7 people can do is run safestrap.

I actually foolishly did the same before, installed TWRP and CWMR on ME7. Currently still running stock ROM, rooted. Is there a benefit to ODIN back to stock recovery? When I install safestrap, will the TWRP that comes with safestrap overwrite the other recoveries I installed before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
I havent read everything on the boot process but I believes it hijacks it and sends it into the safestrap im nearly positive it doesnt overwrite the stock recovery. I could be wrong tho. I would reflash the stock image so I would have a stock recovery but thats me.

[Asus Transformer TF700] antimateriaq:
I have installed Cromi-X 5.03 on my Asus Tf700, is there a way now to disable root???

As far as I understand, having root access, apps can install and have access to system files and private data. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Well yes that is true but, root permissions are managed by an app such as chainfire's. So its up to you what apps can reach root access.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Disabling root on a custom rom really defeats the purpose!

YOU have to give an app permission to access root, so as long as you read the permissions an app asks for when you install it, you will be ok. If you don't trust the app - don't install it....
[Asus Transformer TF700] antimateriaq:
Cromi-x rooted tf700 and permissions.

Thanks for the replies!

Regarding "disabling root on a custom rom really defeats the purpose". Well..My intention was not to play around the android, I installed cromix just looking for a good fluent rom. And indeed, it is.

However, if apps that need root will always ask for permission, I can live with that. I'm wondering if there are apps that can make use of root without asking to the user.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Moster2:
No, unless someone finds an exploit, but if you find an app that does this, you should maybe rethink about from where you get your apps :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Don't forget some if not most of the optimisations require root. So if you disable root you may find the ROM slow and laggy like stock again......
[Asus Transformer TF700] antimateriaq:
Dear Darren Duncan,

Very nice job you have done. I bought the asus tf700 thinking that with a tegra 2 will really compete with the fluency of the IPAD windows. However, since I turned it on for first time and started to install the first apps I was really disappointed.

I'm just a consumer with general knowledge about technology. Hence, I just understand technology but don't know how to create.

I would be really glad to know your opinion in a basic language, about why diifferent roms of Android OS can run so differently in identical tablets. And if you have an opinion about why stock roms from Ausus are so laggy or slow or smoothless. and finally, if you think Android OS can really be optimized to run as smooth and fast as IOS from apple or is only a matter of hardware.

Thanks again,

Guido.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hi Guido,

Thanks for the kind words. Why are they laggy - because they used a cheap crappy emmc memory chip. Why are some ROMs quicker - because stock based ROMs are designed for the Asus tech and it's easier to mod them around the slow IO.

My wife has an iPad 3 and tells me my transformer runs better than hers. However, android is not quite there in terms of fluidity and smoothness yet IMO. But we are getting close.

4.1 downgrade

Hi sb,

I am on the latest bootloader and would like to downgrade to 4.1 as I'm having a lot of problems with this rom. How would I do so, do I just flash the 4.1 bootloader and then the rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
In essence yes but you will also have issues with the sd card layout now as well. 4.1 won't understand what 4.2 has done to it so you may need to format data as well. What issues are you having?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AJM-hackers:
4.1 ROM

I'm having random boot loops and some heat issues. I also want a more polished rom. So the exact steps are:

2) Full format wipe

1) flash bootloader

3) Full wipe again, power off

4) Install rom

Will I have to downgrade twrp again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I remember booting a 4.1 ROM with the 4.2 bootloader and it worked just fine. So formatting /data and reinstalling the ROM should be enough.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AJM-hackers:
Did you test it on the latest bootloader, latest TWRP?

Thanks so much!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah yes I think if you keep a 4.2 bootloader it works OK but if you downgrade the bootloader to 4.1 then it causes issues.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

A more polished ROM :(

I can't imagine a more polished ROM but there you go ......
[Asus Transformer TF700] AJM-hackers:
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. To clarify, I didn't mean your 4.2 rom, I meant 4.2.1 was a pretty buggy release in general, also the 4.1 release had much more updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The 10.6.1.14.4 to 10 bootloaders are identical, except for the version number and build date.

I tested everything on TWRP 2.4.1, but I see no reason why a later TWRP would not work with Android 4.1.

[Sony Xperia ZL] tsuyoshikoike:
So, me and a friend of mine tried to Root my brand new Zl ( model no. c6502 ) after that, whenever I try to turn it on (without a charger), the device vibrates, Sony logo appears and then shut off itself. With the wall charger, right after I plug the USB cord, the LED Notification turn on in the red color, Sony logo appears again and then resets, but with another thing, after reseting the device enters in some kind of boot-loop and it simply don't stop. After I had all this headache, I tried to use both Sony Update Service and PC Companion in order to restore the "original" rom, with no success by using SUS, but with PC Companion, although, by holding the OFF button until it vibrates 3 times and then try to turn it on by pressing Vol-Up + Power Button with the charger plugged in, I managed to make it boot. The only problem is, if I take the Charger cord out, the device simply shut down, recreating the whole problem again... :(

My ZL is currently without BLU ( BootLoader Unlocker ) along with the original Rom installed directly from the PC Companion.

I'm worried because it looks like some hardware issue or a problem with some kind of file that assist the device in it's boot...

Besides me, is there anyone that had the same problem as mine and know how to fix this issue? Can any of you guys help me, please?

Thank you so much for the attention

Okay first go to the play store and het SuperUser or SuperS.

2 what you are looking at is twrp recovery. Install is where yoyo will install Roms/kernels and such.

Wipe will WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.

Advanced is none menus of things to do.

Reboot will give a couple options like reboot system etc.

Sorry I am having a hardboiled right now typing with one hand/arm so hopefully the rest you can figure out

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tylorw1:
You are in TWRP which is a custom recovery. Never perform an internal wipe in twrp, it will require you to type in "yes" and will require you to Odin your phone back to stock. Also, never flash a non loki'd kernel if you have a I337. When you boot back into your ROM you will need to see if super user is installed but if not you need to download the one by ChainsDD in play store. This will be the final step to having root access. To exit twrp just go to reboot and click system. To manually enter two you hold down the power button, home button, and the volume up button at the same time. If I were you I would read more about the flashing guides in the general section. But on AMDL the phone is just about unbrickable but be careful and take your time and read read read.

Which is the right one to get me rebooted to I can download the super user thing in the Play store?

Hello XDA,

Are any of you experiencing overheating and throttling on your Xperia ZL's?

I can't be sure that is happening to me, but recently when in 3D, the phone gets quite warm (normal) but then my 3D games start stuttering badly (sign of throttled CPU or GPU). When i hold the phone in front of the aircon and play, this issue doesn't happen (indicating better cooling / no heat or throttling).

The thing is, this is an issue that has only just started happening as of yesterday, despite nearly 2 weeks straight of 3D gaming on the phone (mostly Dungeon Hunter 4).

I've had some success throttling my CPU myself to 700 mhz, but that is only a temporary solution. The phone simply takes longer to get hot and then the game starts stuttering again. My guess is the Adreno 320 GPU is throttling, and it really doesn't have anything to do with the S4.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello.

I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
