[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] defcon888:
I just got this S4 the other day and I love it. I am not new to ROOTING. I rooted my Thunderbolt and then my Razr Maxx without issues....but this S4 is giving me headaches.

I did get it to root one time using the "cd /mnt/SdCard" method. Then when I plugged my phone in again, it updated the ROM. Now, that method doesn't work. I have tried MOTOCHOPPER and Odin.

On Odin, It starts and then "FAIL". I have taken the SD Card out and formatted it to exFAT and put the files on it that is needs (.pwn, .script.sh) and still nothing.

I am not planning on running a custom ROM on it until I get more familiar with the ROOT process. The two things I want root for is: 1). HOTSPOTTING.....it is asking me to sign up with Verizon. I know on the other phones I had, once I did a ROOT....it was all good. 2). I use "MyBackUp Pro" and love it. In order to restore, I have to install all my apps, 1 at a time....argggghhhhh.

So, with that said....HELP!

Thanks in advanced

HI BRO
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fezzle:
When I start either WatchON or Samsung Hub, I get a message that says "unable to detect country" or "This device is not supported in your country" and then the app closes.

I should probably mention I live in the United States.

Strangely enough, if I log into the public wifi I can access from my residence, it is fine. Maybe it's just an issue with my regular wifi, but I wouldn't be able to test it with another private connection unless I took my tablet to a friend's house.

Is anyone else having this issue and found a solution for it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] californiarailroader:
I haven't had that problem, have you tried doing a reset and starting over?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lsherif:
This only happens if you are using a rom not specified for your region , but as long as you you live in the States & your Note has been released for US , this should not show up.:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fezzle:
Considering I bought my Note at Best Buy and no one's found a way to root it yet, that can't be the stem of my problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] haterbait:
Same issue here

The same thing happens to me. I'm also in the US and bought my tablet from Best Buy. It attempts to load Samsung Hub, but then stops and gives me a message that 'this service is not supported in this country'. I attempted to contact Samsung, with as low of expectations add I could muster, and they said I should go to settings, general, app manager, all apps, then force stop it, clear data and restart the Note. Didn't work for me, but luckily I didn't expect it to.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ryangan:
I'm in the UK, and bought my 10.1 from the US. Could this be why I can't watch HD Play Movies? Is it worth flashing the UK firmware via Odin?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kylerobin:
Same Here

I'm having the exact same issue with WatchON and Samsung Hub (Video Only - the Music, Apps, and Books work on Samsung Hub). I get the "unable to detect country" or "this device is not supported in your country" and the app closes.

I also live in the US. I just went down to the Best Buy to talk to the Samsung rep on site and she said she had never heard of it. I was glad I had screen shots to show her (didn't do much good). We powered it up and everything worked great. I got home and AGAIN it gives me the "unable to detect country". I went down to the Apartment public wifi and it works fine again.

I thought it must have something to do with settings on my Linksys wireless router. So I checked and the time setting is correct for Central Time zone. No issues there. Then I tried the Samsung Hub Video and WatchON on my Samsung S4 (with mobile data turned off, Wifi only) and they both work perfect on my home wifi. So its something with the Note 10.1 2014 tablet I guess.

Strange how it works on the public wifi at BestBuy and the Apartment but not on my home network. But yet, my Samsung S4 works fine on any network.

Still looking for a solution.

That is weird, has Samsung been able to help any more? You know, I had the same exact issue on a Note 8.0 I had, but after a FW update it finally started working okay.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fezzle:
No luck with support, who clearly are not up to date on the products they sell (though with the sheer amount they do, I can't blame them). After she told me try to change a setting that does not exist on the device, she recommended a factory reset. Having read some other posts about this same issue, I'm not going to waste my time with that. All I'm hoping is for a big update from Samsung or a custom ROM that can help me out.

Geeze I'm going to get a nexus 5 and be up .3 levels ha.

Probably will show up on Dec 31 at 11:58 so its technically before the end of the year
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
I think Phandroid is off base here. Jason Mackenzie's tweet mentions the T-Mobile HTC One specifically, not the DNA. Then @AndrewGriffitt asks when the DNA will get its update, and Mackenzie responds with the December time frame, but nowhere does he mention that it will be 4.3. The DNA's update is 4.2 (4.2.2?) according to what we've last heard from Verizon, and now it sounds like that update won't come till December.

Am I reading this wrong? Or should I be expecting 4.3 now?
[HTC Droid DNA] Shadowstare:
I think [MENTION=673286]jasonma[/MENTION]cHTC mentioned in earlier tweets that the next update for the DNA will be the 4.2 update w/ Sense 5.0. I don't think there is an ETA on the 4.3 update with Sense 5.5. I think that's HTC's plan (based on rumors I've read)....eventually, but it definitely won't be this year. This year, its all about 4.2 and Sense 5.0
[HTC Droid DNA] donsmith1964:
Big Red

I think HTC would slap 4.3 on it today if Verizon would let them. Verizon has to add Navigator and all that other stuff. Look at the ONE. Verizon is the last to update. I've learned that updates don't come with Verizon. I don't root my phones so I just live with what I bought. If I happen to get an update then that's all the better. Verizon still lists this phone at $199. They treat it like a flip phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] antdog24:
it's pretty basic really. Verizon is in the phone business, they want to sell phones and contracts. If they update our phones to the latest and greatest well then we wouldn't want to change our phones every two years. Android is basically the same across all phones minus the hardware and camera tweaks. So I'm running Sense 5 on my phone and I have access to features that are only on the HTC One like Zoe... Why would I swap my phone for a One at this point? I wouldn't.... see my point? Can't really blame Verizon for their business model. So we root and load ports and AOSP ROMs to get the latest features Verizon refuses to provide so they can make a few extra phone sales and extend some contracts.
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
I'm still only going to expect a 4.2/4.2.2 update with some iteration of Sense 5 by the year's end (hopefully). Until some new information comes to light anyway.

I also fully expect that to be the final OTA of any significance for this phone, knowing Verizon.
[HTC Droid DNA] ChristianJay:
I would rather have a faster processor with more RAM than a 2 year old phone running the newest version of Android. I'll take speed over a revamped app drawer anyday. An update to Android (yipeee!) isnt going to make me want to hang on to an old phone at the rate that this cell phone technology improves. I wouldnt swap my DNA for a One either. But for a LG G2, a Note 3, a One Max, maybe!

" So we root and load ports and AOSP ROMs to get the latest features Verizon refuses to provide so they can make a few extra phone sales and extend some contracts."

Exactly. It's Verizon's genius business model that fuels all of this, or a lot of it anyway.
[HTC Droid DNA] antdog24:
But even the technology spread to the phones you mention are not that far off the hardware we already have. I think we will start to see a small plateau on hardware improvement for a little while until new architecture comes out like 64bit processors (like the iPhone 5s) So at this point software and camera features will start to be the real selling point for phones
[HTC Droid DNA] ChristianJay:
I see what your saying. I guess I just miss the days when every year you could look forward to something new. That and I've always been the type of person that wants the latest and greatest, within reason of course, not one of these I-sheep standing in line for a new I-phone, or paying too much as a early adopter. Lol.

When my Droid X's contract was up last October, it seemed like a dinosaur in comparison to what was out, the S3 being the cream at the time. Then when I heard about the DNA I was hyped. 1080p, wireless charging, great processor, etc. I got it for $120 online and was happy as heck. Still seems quick and the video looks superb.
[HTC Droid DNA] tdizzle404:

Hi,

Thanks to the very clever people over at www.imei-check.co.uk I now have an unlocked T-Mobile Vario.

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php

I now wish to know if I can flash my unlocked Wizard with an Imate K-Jam2 flash?

I know there is another post on flashing the the Qtek 9100 with the K-Jam but I dont know if the T-Mobile Vario will pose any different issues or problems.

What I want to know is :-

1) Can it be done, can I flash my T-Mobile Vario with a K-Jam2 ROM?

2) How do I make a backup of my T-Mobile ROM before taking the plunge?

I am a Sony Ericsson P900 convert so please be gentle with me on your responses. I'm no expert but have got this far (Unlocked) by reading these and other forums.

If any of you can help out I would be most gratefull.

Cheers

Hey, guys, I have the same problem - I want to change the OS from a german to en english one. My device is the XDA Mini S from O2 Germany. Do I *really* need to pay for unlocking first or I can just flash it?

P.S. How did you back up the ROM before the flashing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] arnoldl:
hello ingenious ,

as far as i know , you have to unlock it first otherwise you can't acces the bootloader.

buckup of your old rom can be done (only after unlocking).

you need the program romupdate.exe

disable activesync on usb connection

turn off phone

connect usb cable while pressing camera button

start romupdate

chooice usb connection

enter 'r2sd all' this coppies your phone rom to your sd card (sd card will be erased !!!!!)

next step is to dump the sd card to file to store.

you need ntrw.exe and sd card reader

in a dos box in a dir with ntrw enter 'ntrw read dump.nb1 drive_letter_of_reader:'

that will dump you entire sd card to file.

to restore , but it back with ntrw write .......

reset phone while holding voice an camera button and chooise restore from sd card.

good luck , arnold

p.s. i'm wrinting this out of my memory so forgive me if i have something wrong.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ingenious:
Hey, thanks very much :)

Just a thing bothers me still... If I unlock the phone (i.e. replace the boot loader) won't I just lose my warranty from O2?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] arnoldl:
mhh that doesn't worry me to much,

officiali it will only void your warrnaty if they can proof that that is the problem.

if not they can not hold it against you (in holland that is) , but you may have to 'fight' for your warranty.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tdodd:
I have successfully replaced the ROM on my MDA Vario with a K-Jam ROM and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Following the instructions by arnoldl earlier in this thread I created a backup dump.nb1 file and used ntrw_189.exe in a CMD window to dump this to a file. This took bloomin' ages since I have a 1GB card - very tiresome!

Anyway, I have now reversed that process to copy the dump file back to the mini-SD card but when I hard reset my Vario I do not get a prompt to restore from the SD card. I only have options to restore to original settings or cancel.

I have allowed a hard reset to complete and the mini-SD card does not even register in the Vario. Removing and reinserting does nothing. I've tried a hard reset twice and still no joy.

Assuming I have successfully created a working ROM image on my mini-SD card are there any other tips or options for restoring it to the Vario ROM?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tdodd:
Thanks for that. I just realised it says hold camera and voice comm rather than comms and voice comm, like you would normally do for a hard reset.

I've tried a boot with the correct buttons and could see nothing at all on the screen. I now realise there is something but without a backlight it is nigh on impossible to see. Anyway, I spotted that too late and started button mashing to try to get the thing to spring into life. It is now staring at me with a big clear white (lit) screen that dims briefly periodically. I now have no idea what is going on and whether this is the correct behaviour or not.

How long should the reflash take? Will having a 1GB card mean it takes 8 times as long as a 128MB card as it has to read the whole thing? How do I know if this is working OK?There are no progress bars or anything - just a plain white screen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] arnoldl:
i did say comm and voice , but i just changed that :)

reflash was prety fast when i did it , within a minute i thought (256mb)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tdodd:
Oh dear :-( Mine's been blinking at me for 15 minutes now.

I just restarted the process and I managed to see a "Format BinFS Success" message and a progress bar at the bottom which I think said "Upload OS" or something like that - too difficult to read properly in today's miserable grey daylight. But I'm now staring at the plain white screen once more.

Maybe my ROM image is fried. Any ideas how to get hold of a clean T-Mobile UK MDA Vario ROM file?

EDIT : Further info......

Bored of the blank white screen I pressed the reset button on its own. The device reset and this time with the benefit of the backlight being on I could see the Format BinFS success message, a couple of checksum checks and something about downloading ROM and extended ROM. This all took only a minute or two, which seems positive. But then I saw a message about formatting FAT (or FAT32?) and while that was being displayed the screen faded/disolved to plain white and has resumed its periodic dimming.

Unfortunately I now have HTC Innovation and imate branding all over the thing so I can't just pop it back to T-Mobile to fix it. I wish they had a full ROM upgrade/replace image in a .exe, like qtek and imate.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] greddy:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tdodd:
Having left the white screen for a couple of hours there is no sign of anything useful happening. I reset the device and now I am dumped directly to the bootloader screen - there seems to be no software on the device now.

So it appears I can only get this thing up and running again with the k-jam ROM (or presumably Qtek) by running the .exe ROM upgrade file. But for me my option to go back to native Vario software seems to have vanished forever. Maybe I'm just really unlucky but this might serve as a warning/caution for others who want to flash their Vario.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] veef13:
Hi tdodd,

Exactly the same happened to me, I could not restore from SD and the only option I had was to boot to the bootloader and reflash with a kjam rom... so thats the end of tmobile warranty until someone can package the original rom, or they release an update... :cry:

Dammit!

Veef13
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] tdodd:
Veef13, it is a blow but it might not be the end of the warranty support. Since the Vario seems to be wiped of all software there does not seem to be any evidence of a k-jam ROM on the device. There is an HTC Innovation flash screen but no sign of imate etc.. It is like an empty machine.

I'm just past the 28 day immediate swap period but if yours is less than four weeks old you might be able to do a direct swap if that's what you want. I've just spoken to T-Mobile about mine and they said I have to return it to the shop (didn't buy online) but it will probably have to be sent off for repair so I'm inclined just to stick k-jam ROM back on and wait for T-Mobile to release an update. It's certainly not the end of the workd.

Then again, if it does get sent off the "repair" should be a piece of cake and as I said, there appears no evidence of tampering that I can see.

Ideally some clever xda developer will figure why the restore from SD card fails and come up with a solution, or maybe package the nk.nbf file into an upgrade .exe file just like the Qtek and imate .exes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] veef13:
hi,

alas, i reflashed the kjam rom so its a long wait for a tmobile rom for me.. luckily tho i did take a copy of the extended rom so can get back the useful updates etc...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jacoch:
Same for me. Each time I enter the bootloader (holding camera button), it tells me "Format Binfs". Then success. At the bottom, I get an error1 about the checksum. By pressing power button, I then get into bootloader. If I restart after that, there is no OS anymore on the device (sure, it has been formatted). So doing a r2sd after that won't save the OS. The dump will be empty. Why can't I enter bootloader without getting a format binfs?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Button:
Hi guys!

I've met a lot of messages like yours in different forums, and I've tried to repeat all by myself..

So, if you made 'r2sd all' dump of your original rom, you can return it back DIRECTLY FROM THIS CARD! It really works!

BUT, if you made an image using 'ntrw read', and then restore it back to SD card (ntrw write) - you get the **** you've wrote.

So, i think, that 'ntrw' is incompatible tool in this case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] greddy:
Hey Button,

i think so, that's the reason why the image (german qtek rom) makes

an checksum error at 60%

regards, Peter
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jacoch:
I didn't use ntrw. And this doesn't explain why the device do a "format binfs" each time I try to access the bootloader. If I then try to restart the wizard, there is no information about os version on bootscreen and I get back to bootloader again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Button:
I had a simple test:

1. Using 'ntrw read' I've created a file from SD card - dump.nb1.

2. Using 'ntrw write' I've restored SD image from dump.nb1.

3. Again, using 'ntrw read' I've created a file from restored SD card - dump.nb2.

4. I compared dump.nb1 & dump.nb2 checksums, - they were IDENTICAL!!! Now I see, that 'ntrw' is workihg correctly...

But we can't restore wizard ROM after 'ntrw'... Any ideas?
