[Moto X General] g01di3l0ck5:
Hello,

I dont have enough posts to post in dev section so I posted here and put is on my blog as well.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT OCCURE WITH YOUR DEVICE. PLEASE READ ALL ARTICLES IN FULL BEFORE ATTEMPTING.

(Only tested for Rogers, cannot guarantee this works with other firmwares but I do not see why it wouldn't)

Not sure is this was covered before but I couldnt find anything with respect to my situation. I recently discovered a way to DOWNGRADE my MOTO X after I installed the OTA camera patch that allowed rooting via JCASE's PwnMyMoto to not work. I tried using RSDLite to flash back to the original stock firmware to no avail. I was lazy and did NOT google around and didnt read JCASE's updated disclaimer on his [Root/Write Protection Bypass] MotoX (no unlock needed) post at XDA that read

"The latest OTAs patch this exploit

The "Camera patch" patches the vulnerability we use to gain system user, and pwnmymoto will no longer work on devices with this update"

All credit where credit is due, I simply discovered a flaw to undo the update OTA camera patch giving me back the ability to use JCASE root method, which involved swapping the gpt.bin file from the new stock firmware found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php

ROGERS-CA_XT1058_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-36_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip (camera patch)

to the original

Rogers_XT1058_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-26-34_CFC_1FF.xml.zip (no camera patch)

I then fired up RSDLite removed the necessary line from the XML to allow the flashing of the original firmware and voila!!!!!! bobs your uncle! the OTA appeared on screen asking to be installed. Ignore for now root your phone using JCASE PwnMyMoto found in the link below:

[Root/Write Protection Bypass] MotoX (no unlock needed)

If you want to apply the OTA patch I highly recommend you read both JCASE article in full and the one below as well before attempting to do this. The article below describes how to preserve root and apply the OTA camera patch.

Tutorial: How To Protect and Restore Root for an OTA Update

All credit for rooting and saving/preserveing root to JCASE and Dark9781 on XDA developers.

Thank you.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
removing the necessary line from the xml I don't feel like would solve the problem. I think once you take the OTA it puts code in the bootloader that doesn't allow you to downgrade. Since bootloaders are locked for people that are actually stuck on the update (because they would just unlock the BL if they were and wanted to downgrade) I didn't think there was a way to downgrade since we can't touch the BL. Maybe rogers is different or you didn't take the full OTA but Id like to know if anyone else has success with this.
[Moto X General] rmead01:
Can already verify this doesn't work with ATT. I've tried changing the same file to old/new/other carrier, didn't matter. Once you get past the GPT flash that works, the rest will still fail.
[Moto X General] dliberalesso:
Try unlocking the bootloader first. Google "moto x unlock bootloader", i can't post links yet. Open motorola's link.

After that, follow what the OP said.
[Moto X General] g01di3l0ck5:
Unlocked bootloader is necessary.
[Moto X General] rmead01:
ATT and VZW bootloaders are locked. This is why it won't work.
[Moto X General] freak4dell:
The reason most people want to downgrade after an OTA is because they lost root. If they could unlock the bootloader, they could just get root again and not have to downgrade.
[Moto X General] n82k:
Most pointless thread ever. Root normally with unlocked bootloader and still have fixes. You don't need an exploit to root if your bootloader is unlocked.
[Moto X General] cartmenicus:
Does anyone from rogers know if the first file name mentioned is a working Rogers with ota?
[Moto X General] scotsrule08:
Instructions for root

I am new here to the forums, and I have a tmobile moto x (unlocked bootloader) running 4.4 with camera update. I just want to know your exact method on how to downgrade.

I know I download the older firmware, then is there a Mac version or equivalent to the rsdlite as I only have access to a Mac? I also do not know what to revert back to.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxcd:
Hey, guys, long time lurker and first time posting here.

So, I managed to screw up my S4 Active (i9295, international version) somehow and I am out of things to try now.

I have been testing lots of roms and have always been successful using Odin. Never had any problems with it, got quite familiar with the notions of it all.

So tonight I tried to go back to the original stock rom of my phone, and I got a FAIL error at Odin. After that, I just could not flash any other ROM on it for the life of me. I tried the ROM I had just before, fail. Tried a ROM I used some time ago, fail. It seems it fails to flash any rom to it, it always giver an error at the very end of the process.

I CAN:

- flash CWM to it - it works normal

- flash root to it - although i dont really see the point

- access "odin"/download mode

- access cwm recovery

I CAN'T:

- manage to flash stock rom to it

- it always fails at the very end, right after the modem.bin

- Complete(Write) Operation Failed

I already tried:

- changing usb ports

- 3 different stock roms downloaded from sammobile

- closing every single app remotely similar to kies on windows

- reinstalling the samsung android drivers

- removing sim card and external sd card

- wipe data/cache prior to flashing

I'm running out of ideas here. Anyone got any solution I might have skipped?

Thanks and sorry for the long post.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxcd:
Oh, I also tried getting the firmware using KIES.

It doesn't recognize the phone (just says "Connecting") and it doesn't show on the list for the Emergency firmware recovery.

I also tried the "Firmware upgrade and initilazation" mode, which I have used in the past.

It downloads the firmware, goes to the next step, but when it gets to the part where it sould instruct me to put the phone in download mode, it just shows a warning completely in japanese (probably korean actually, considering... thanks, Samsung! :good: ) and it stops the whole thing.

hi everybody.

do you know how to remove (registry?) that light translucent white layer that stay over a picture if we choose for a photo as background?

thank you,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] admisi:
easy one. go to Programs, pictures & Videos, find the picture you want then in the menu bar you will see an option to Set as today wallpaper. Click on it And it will give you transparency level.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jasjar:
No, I intend to remove the transparency. I'd like to see the picture as is, non translucent. I'll choose for a photo that allow me to read the fonts...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
so if you follow admisi's steps, then set transparency level to 0%, that is what you get
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jasjar:
sure... i never tried to do it from there... sorry.

some more tips, please... :shock:

how can i remove programs from the "program" list? i uninstalled etrust antivirus, but it keeps to show in programs...

one more... i found that if i uncheck to put the device in sleep mode "after x minutes" under "energy->advanced" it's really faster, especially after long times of inactivity, but it spend much more battery. do you have the same impression?

thank you,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Not all programs uninstall completely I'm afraid. The items you see in Programs are in

\windows\start menu\programs

For the programs that remain even after they've been uninstalled, you can manually delete the shortcuts by navigating to the above folder and deleting them in File Explorer - or via Windows assuming you're synced to your PC.

I have heard that unticking the power saving options increases performance, but I haven't tried it myself.

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jasjar:

do you think that mantain opened many apps could use up battery?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dunc:
Guys,

Is there a way to set a picture as your background? IE. so you just have the pic and the start menu rather that the screen split into 2 with icons, etc everywhere!

Cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] admisi:
I think what you mean is that you want to get rid of all the Today Items.

So go to Start, Settings, Today....then to the "Items" tab, and untick everything. This will leave you with a blank Today Screen with just Start Menu and your wallpaper.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dunc:
Perfect thanks! :D Now how about the left hand menu? Messages, calls, etc.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
This has been a long time problem for me every since the OG Droid days. I go to school, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, and at the end of the day its at 30% due to the sh*tty reception at my school. I've tried multiple things such as installing JuiceDefender (currently still using), DS Battery Saver, etc...to have data turned off as well as wifi when the phone is idle. If I keep my phone idle for lets say, 2 hours its already at 70-80% whereas if I do the same at my house with full 4g coverage and turning off data when not in use/wifi, its in the 90% range. Can anyone tell me as to what I can do to achieve that I am supposed to get with these apps other than turning on airplane mode?

Note: I have betterbatterystats to check for wakelocks and there seems to be none.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I have the same problem, luckily this only happens inside particular buildings for me, but airplane mode is the only thing that will work.

Juice defender manages your data connection, this is different, it shows under better battery stats as "no data connection" only thing you can do is try different radios, maybe mb1 would work better over mf1 or vice versa.

Also if you're running an AOSP rom, switching to touchwiz might help you significantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
I am on touchwiz because of good stability and generally better battery life but it doesn't apply to when I'm in areas with poor reception. The thing I hate about airplane mode is either I forget, and I can't receive calls or anything unless I remember to turn it back off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It is annoying, you'd make a lot of money developing an app that automatically toggled airplane mode in areas of poor signal and off in areas of good signal. I'd buy it.

Touchwiz and radio change is all you can really do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Using GeoFencing in NFC Task Launcher, could provide a possible solution, at least when you're at school. Use it to automatically turn on Airplane Mode when you arrive and turn it off when you leave.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Go grab Tasker. You will thank me later. You can set up a task to turn on airplane mode based on location . So when you arrive at school you go in airplane mode. You could then add another event to turn off airplane mode at specific intervals like lunch time and when school ends. Or even every 2 hours to receive email and text messages. I don't think you could turn airplane mode back off based on location (when you leave school) since you would need GPS but you can set it for the time that school ends (I.e 3:00)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Thanks I will try that app. Always passed that by in the play store because I never knew what it was :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] insanulous:
Tasker I agree is brilliant. I also use it for school. I didn't set it based on location though. Instead, I have it set to signal strength between 0,1 and then i give it a 2min delay and then turn on airplane mode while keeping wifi on. Then wait 30min and then disable airplane mode so it can check for signal strength. If it is still bad, keep it in airplane mode; otherwise jump back to the step where you go to airplane mode. It works miracles for my battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
You are welcome. It does have a learning curve. There's plenty of guides to using the app. In fact you can go to their website via the app and they have a list of probably a hundred different preconfigured tasks to download and import. So what you looking for may already have been made and you can just download it from the wiki.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Why wouldn't GPS be available. He said he had a weak phone signal, which has nothing at all to do with the GPS. Also why spend $6.99 for Tasker when you can do the same thing with NFC Task Manger without the steep learning curve that comes with Tasker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I don't use GPS much so I may be wrong. But once he put his phone in airplane mode GPS would be disabled. Also you can do literally hundreds of other things with tasker. He may find other uses for the app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I didn't even think about using tasker for this! Genius, I think I'll set that up for myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
You're not wrong some phones do turn off GPS in Airplane mode. However, when you enter location you set up NFC Task Launcher to 1. Turn on Airplane mode 2. Turn on GPS. When leaving: 1. Turn off Airplane Mode. Pretty straight forward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Well each man to their own I guess. I already have tasker so I'll keep that :)

Hi guys. New to the S4 here and Ive pent a good bit of time trying to google, research etc. Can i stick the AOKP rom on my S4 the I337M with out an issue? using CWM it gives me error 7 but i can disable asserts right. But i dont want to brick so thats why im asking.

Then i see some other roms like the kangabean he shows to flash his rom but then flash in a different KERNEL. is that because the 337M needs a different kernel?

Can i Flash AOKP with out doing a kernel thing? or would i need to flash the aokp rom then flash in this kernel, take it from say the kangabean page? or are kernels made to a certain... rom?

I dont want to brick but it appears to be alot more info to take in now. I had a S3 and ran the AOKP rom. as long as it was the "north american" S3 then I could use what ever rom. no worries. But here... Seems to be a whole new game... Thanks!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190925052983?var=490194438302

Has anyone tried this for the Note 3? I bought something very similar in gray translucent color for my Note 2 which fit the job perfectly since I keep my phone in my front right pocket so don't need anything bulky and the design/color turned out nice. Just hoping the charger port is big enough for use with Smart Dock which was a little snug with the Note 2 one. $3.99 with shipping included from Asia.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ggabriele3:
old thread, but I came across it and figured i'd respond.

I had something just like this for my HTC One.

it was great in how thin it was. Obviously not much for drop protection, but it provided better grip and scratch protection without adding weight/size.

Only issue was that the fit was very tight, and the material is not elastic. As a result, i ended up stretching one of the cutouts slightly, and it never quite sat perfectly. I liked it anyway, and would try one again if i still had the phone. I might try one of these for my GN3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] widowmaker777:
These cases are superb. I bought several of these just in case I want to swap them out. So far though, I have only swapped it out once because of light scratches from a year of use on my S3. These cases are definitely not for drop protection. Strictly for scratch protection. They are the thinnest available. They are also not grippy. I like it because I personally hate the dust collecting silicone cases. At first I bought the black version for my black note 3, but then i bought the white/clear version of the case and I like the clear case more. The black case hides the silver accent edge of the note 3 while the white one allows that detailing to show. It also doesn't hurt that they're dirt cheap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
I bought one of these and they are super thin. I love that it barely adds bulk. But as windowmaker said, there's no grip what so ever. At least before you had some grip from the battery cover. I decided to trim out the back of mine so I have some grip at the back since the battery cover is now exposed. But still no side grip. Maybe put clear skinomi skin on the sides for better grip. But if you want thin, this is one of the thinnest out there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pjm77:
I've got one. Not bad but not perfect.The fit wasn't good enough, it always looked like it was coming off on one side. Cutouts very good. Does not protect the screen or the camera in any way. I switched to Ringke Slim since and I think it's better and not much bulkier. But for the money - great buy. And the Note still looks like the Note. And the owner still looks like homo sapiens not some anal-retentive douche who spends a fortune on a lovely and stylish phone just to turn it into some Ninja-Turtle global destruction device;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
Does anyone have a picture of the note 3 with this case on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seoulbrova:
I used to use these style of cases because I wanted absolute minimal size added to the phone while providing basic scratch protection.

Recently I moved to "skins"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeStBNHqCZA

That's a skinomi wood one, and I much prefer it to those cheap 2mm cases. Not does it keep the phone slim, it provides the same type of protection. The cheap ebay cases werent going to provide any type of drop protection anyways.

Hello,

I just recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900T) and I am having problems with adb. Whenever I launch adb shell .... It says "Error: Device Unauthorized. Please Check the confirmation dialog on your device." However, this is no confirmation dialog. There has never been one. I do have USB Debugging Enabled, and I have tried disabling it and re-enabling it and it still does not ask me to authorize the device on my phone. I have also restarted the phone, and the computer. Nothing seems to work, and I can not use adb due to this issue.

There is also no "adb_key" file located in /data/misc/adb/ or in the .android folder on my pc.

Can anyone tell me how to authorize my device so I can use adb?

Don't know if you found an answer on your problem but I have an Note 3 SM-N9005 an what i have done was to delete the adb folder in /data/misc and then the authorise popup poped up assoon as i plugged my phone into the pc. But just extra info on adb If you want to use adb debugging shell on pc, get the latest version from goolge.
