[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dustyhughes:
jd1693 is correct, your best bet is best buy... I only had an issue with my build.prop file in the /system folder, but I could do nothing to recover. My local best buy Samsung "specialist" was unhelpful and wouldn't touch it. I drive an hour and a half to the next nearest one and the guy there was knowledgeable and helpful. He fixed it in 10 minutes. Before I went, I "put" mine in the yellow triangle screen that you get from a kies update fail by trying to restore in kies first. This requires an "emergency recovery" which is a full system flash. I've read others had better experiences with this at best buy over making the employees there put the phone in download mode.

I hope you get a decent Samsung rep. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SuperShifty:
Brought it to Best Buy, they said they couldn't do anything for me since my phone was rooted but I told them my problem and they just told me to come here(XDA) or use ODIN or if all else fails, brick my phone and have AT&T replace it.....

So far I haven't gotten any major help here and I'm not very savvy with ODIN and I don't know what use I could make of it with only the Stock download mode and a backup I made before everything went to hell. would really not want to resort to bricking my phone and bringing it to AT&T...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SuperShifty:
I don't have a yellow Triangle, just the padlock with "custom" under it which appeared after I rooted it. also I can't get my phone to connect to kies :/

EDIT: Managed to do an emergency recovery via Kies and get that yellow triangle screen, I'll bring it back to Best Buy in hope that there's different employees working who I can feed an alibi saying Kies messed up my phone when attempting to do a firmware upgrade.

Hi Guys,

Having loads of problem trying to SuperCID and S-OFF my Rogers HTC One X. I've spent days googling and searching forums.

When trying to SuperCID I repeatedly get this error:

shell@android:/ $ ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

/data/local/tmp/xpwn

ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

link failed File exists

255|shell@android:/

Any thoughts? I've tried the AIO toolkit, and doing it manually. Tried it many times now. I have been able to Tamper, unlock and SuperSU my phone but can't SuperCID and S-OFF.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Hy everyone! I am very satisfied with my phone but I have one small problem.. When I download a new app the phone, or I am in the process of installing, the phone get very laggy for a couple of seconds and the apps on my home screen reload. They disappear and reappear in a second or two. Why is that happening? Also when I go into apps or widgets it gets a bit laggish when scrolling around.. Is that normaln for a stock ROM? I`m on stock JB,rooted.. And I did a factory reset after update to JB and manually installed all the apps..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GalaxyVolvoZ:
Disable MLT and Smart Log Service. If you dont know what it is and how search.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] brunek:
They are already both disabled, as soon as I rooted the phone I disabled it..Should I maybe enable it and disable it again?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GalaxyVolvoZ:
Rollback to ics all is smooth or flash custom rom / kernel
[LG Optimus 4X HD] brunek:
Rolling back is not an option.. Do you have a ROM or kernel to recommend?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Roonsguy:
It's normal; the homescreen is just refreshing so it displays the shortcut for the app. (it auto-places one on install)

And about the lag, download "Advanced Task Killer" and kill the apps/processes, or use the stock one. ("Task Manager")
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
The task manager won't get you anywhere. Android handles processes not like crappy windows and the task manager thing is unnecessary as hell. Search for it.

For the rom/ kernel thing try it out yourself . There are many good and stable ROMs on here. :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydr0id:
Hi everyone, I want to unlock my bootloader and install custom roms, but someone told me that if I unlock the XT925 bootloader I would not receive anymore future OTA Updates, It let me wondering how truth is this? I've search throughout the internet but there is not much about this matter with my phone.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
If your BL is unlocked, you can still take updates. However, the charm of having an unlocked bootloader is being able to flash the updates, after the DEVs get them and tweak them. One thing, though, if you're on the latest update already, you can't unlock the BL.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i thought the patch only applied to the 926, i thought the international version could still be unlocked. i could be wrong!

here it the moto page to see if yours can still be unlocked and how to do it if it can https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b or you could just try the unlock exploit found in these forums.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydr0id:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhg1232:
if you go to to phone and go to settings theres an option to select

incoming call popups which will display oncoming call popup when an app is in use.

the phone stock comes with it selected so

i unchecked it so that if im using an app the incoming call popup wont show

but i still get the incoming call taking over the screen..

anyone have any issues with this?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canecbr600:
Only thing unchecking the pop-up does is disable the small answer/decline tab that drops down from the notification bar, it then defaults to the stock Android answer screen which I guess is what u are seeing. Otherwise how u gonna know who's calling?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illyfilly:
I don't get what you want to accomplish?

do you not want to see who is calling?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhg1232:
yeah i was hoping if i was in the middle of an app it wouldn't take over the entire app maybe like just the top notification bar would light up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Has anyone tried to sync a galaxy gear watch with the original galaxy note? I'd consider picking one up if I knew it would work.

I've searched and can only find people with S4's, Mega's, and Note 3's that report it working on.

Edit..... I received an galaxy gear for xmas. I got it to sync with the original note. I can receive calls and make them, music plays and changes tracks, weather doesn't work for me, Svoice doesn't work for me (yes it's installed on 4.1.2 touchwiz rooted rom), and this watch drains the battery like no other!!!! Probably because it requires bluetooth 4.0 otherwise known as Bluetooth Low Energy. The original note only has 3.0 and I'm guessing by me syncing with 4.0 it's like I'm talking on a bluetooth earpiece constantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gergyllaer:
How did you get your gear to work on your i717? I have gear manager 1.2 installed and can only get up to the SAMusicProvider APK and it won't let me install that. Gear won't sync through the gear manager. Did you have to root the gear first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
What rom are you trying to install gear manager on? I can install gear manager and sync on the stock 4.1.2. I can install Svoice and it works on the phone, but not the watch. I keep getting an "you need to agree to samsungs disclaimer on the device" error. I got the samsung apps ver 4.01.015.0 installed but it opens and doesn't connect to anything.

To install gear manager on the stock 4.1.2 release install this apk like any regular app. Notifications, Weather, Svoice, and some other features aren't working.

To install gear manager on custom roms it varies. Some require pushing gearmanagerstub.apk to system file, then installing gear manager ver 1.something I've been following a lot of the threads and some versions that work with a 4.3 rom don't work with a 4.4 rom and so forth. You can try some releases located here that Omniwolf and Brendo have been keeping up to date. If you get it up and running, let me know what rom, gearmanager version, and how so I can update the original post. If you can't get anything rolling, let me know what rom you're having difficulty with and I'll try over the weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gergyllaer:
Here's what I did:

Followed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2562997

One exception is that for step #1 to update the firmware follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539082

Then move on to Post #3 in the first thread mentioned and follow it on down.

Only thing I haven't been able to get working is Gear Manager. When I install the stub apk and then follow the instructions to extract the apk's from the gear manager install I get as far as Gear Manager telling me there is no backup and that it will reset the gear...which it does factory reset the rom.

I'm using the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518785 rom (P12).

All of this makes everything work flawlessly (battery/internet/etc) with the exception of notifications. For notifications I'm trying to get Gear Manager to work so that I can use ATN manager. Seems like the most battery friendly way.

I did find one other way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2597260 battery stats weren't definitive though at the time. Edit: Unreliable notifications so far.

Edit again: Nope - notifications actually work very well after rebooting both devices. Now just to figure out how to access notification history.

[Nexus 5 General] Rarscaryfrosty:
It said it was running KLP in the settings, so I wonder if the software on this phone is older. It's possible that it's running an earlier build of 4.4 for developers and in house programmers. Google switched over to that whole "kitkat" marketing ploy so quick, I doubt it was a huge concern for the devs to change the name in their test builds. It's hard to tell what leaks are real and which are faked, but this one was pretty legit looking since we got to see the hardware itself. I wonder if the previous leak from this week showing the translucent on screen buttons and weird phone app icon is real. Either way, the build quality on this phone is really really nice. I can't wait to order one!
[Nexus 4 General] themike10452:
I'll go straight to the point:

A - How to unlock your bootloader ♣

♣ Nexus devices are the easiest to unlock so don't worry about that part ;) (Caution: All your personal data will be erased in the process!)

♣ ♣ Download and install the latest ADB & Fastboot in C:\Windows

[Why?]

(Link in Useful Links section.)

♣ ♣ Download and install the latest USB drivers (Link in Useful Links section.)

♣ ♣ Power off your phone, then hold Power + Volume Down to enter the boot menu.

♣ ♣ Connect your USB cable and use the volume keys to go to Reboot to Bootloader then press the Power button to reboot.

♣ ♣ Open a command-prompt window on your PC and use this command to unlock the bootloader: (Fastboot.exe must in be the work path of the command-prompt)

fastboot oem unlock

♣ ♣ Check your phone screen and confirm the unlock process. (All your personal data will be gone in the process.)

♣ ♣ ♣ Done :D You have unlocked your bootloader, you can now flash a custom kernel and a custom recovery ;)

B - How to flash a custom recovery ♣

♣ You will also need fastboot to flash a custom recovery for the first time. (You can use GooManager from the PlayStore instead if you are rooted)

♣ ♣ Download TWRP* Recovery or CWM Recovery .IMG file. (* Recommended)

♣ ♣ Power off your phone, then hold Power + Volume UP + Volume Down to enter the boot menu.

♣ ♣ Connect your USB cable and use the volume keys to go to Reboot to Bootloader then press the Power button to reboot.

♣ ♣ Open a command-prompt window on your PC and use this command to flash the custom recovery. (Fastboot.exe must in be the work path of the command-prompt)

fastboot flash recovery [color=green]recovery.img[/color]
fastboot reboot

♣ ♣ ♣ Done! :D Now to access recovery mode reboot your phone and keep holding Volume Down before the GOOGLE logo shows up, you will then access the boot menu, select recovery mode from there and hit the power button.

♣ ♣ ♣ You can now flash SuperSu and gain root privilege on your device, you can also flash custom ROMs and custom kernel zips from recovery without the need of a pc.

C - How to Root your Nexus 4 ♣

♣ The best and fastest way to root is by using a recovery zip, toolkits can cause problems.

♣ ♣ Download SuperSU installable zip >> SuperSU

♣ ♣ Place the zip on your phone storage and install it from recovery.

♣ ♣ ♣ You are now rooted! You can benefit from many cool apps and tools, you can find some in the Useful Links section.

D - How to flash a kernel ♣

♣ There are two ways to do it, either using a PC with fastboot or by installing the kernel using a recovery installable zip (Most - if not all - kernels come zipped and ready to install from recovery // easier.)

♣ ♣ If you wish to flash the kernel .IMG file using fastboot, the command you need is the following:

fastboot flash boot [COLOR="green"]boot.img[/COLOR]

♣

♣♣

♣♣♣

♣♣

♣
[Nexus 4 General] themike10452:
♣Reserved♣

♣ Why install ADB and Fastboot in C:\Windows ♣

You MUST read this:

♣ You still don't get it? ♣

♣ So, instead of installing adb and fastboot in some random folder and going into that folder to call fastboot every time you want to use it, you can add the folder directory to %PATH% variable, or you can install adb and fastboot in a directory already listed in the PATH variable, such as C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32

♣ PS: It is completely harmless to add a couple of executables to Windows system directory.
