Hey bro, I was in the same situation as you was. Flashing magio rom brought no luck. Instead of searching for RUU, which I simply cannot get I downloaded the nandroid backup 3.16.111.7 from that awesome guy over at this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192964&page=2

Copy that to your phone (the backup is big, but google drive is fast, I've downloaded it as fast as 12MB/s) and restore the backup. Note that you need to put the backup into /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ <your device serial> /

If you dont have <your device serial> folder in BACKUPS, just do a backup of something small, it will appear there.

So restore the backup, boot into the rom you just restored, enable android debugging and run moonshine (HTC One S TMO_DE for	3.16.111.10) - it works flawlessly on the backup of 3.16.111.7.

NOTE: After restoring the backup, you may need to flash original kernel boot.img. All I did was download Bulletproof kernel 1.1 and flash the boot.img in fastboot. If the bootloader is locked, just unlock it by the steps below.

So now you're s-off hopefully, and you can boot into fastboot to get SuperCID (command fastboot oem writecid 11111111), and the bootloader may actually get locked now (or it may not...)

If your bootloader is locked, head on to htcdev and unlock it (you will need new unlock_code.bin, the old one wouldn't work).

After unlocking, just flash your favorite recovery (I use TWRP 2.4.1.0) and voila, you can mount your sdcard or adb sideload the rom zip. You may need to format external sd and then mount your sdcard, then windows will ask to format it, which is good and then you can copy the rom zip.

Hope this helped you, because I was struggling for 3 days with a non-working phone.
[HTC One S] cyberusman:
Wait all of this would work on hboot 2.16? I have the same problem im s-on but super cid.

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

Edit: I have an htc one s by rogers so would it matter if i use the nandroid i dont have a tmo htc one s
[HTC One S] m4te:
I was on HBOOT 2.15 (from JB OTA). With that hboot, you can not get SuperCID only by altering it in mmcblk0p4, so I had to do s-off first. If you have SuperCID, why dont you try facepalm s-off method? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155135
[HTC One S] rolo143:
Please help. I'm confused. I have HBOOT 2.15

I'm S-ON.

I can't get supercid, because mmcblk0p4 is write protected or something. (I followed exactly the steps but it just doesn't stick)

And I can't S-OFF because for that I need Supercid. But you say you can S-OFF without having supercid?
[HTC One S] m4te:
Have you tried my instructions that are on this page? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46939498&postcount=7
[HTC One S] rolo143:
I haven't. Can I use that method and install the backup doesn't matter which firmware version I have?
[HTC One S] cyberusman:
When you had this problem were you on hboot 2.16? I have super cid but when i try to flash the zip file for face palm s-off it gives me error 99 unkown fail
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof. Meowington:
Hi all,

I have a few I9300's, all with either bootloader or PIT issues. Some bootloaders have been recovered by dumping the bootloader to SD via TFlash, shorting an R13 and reflashing bootloader with sd->emmc mode in download mode.

Does anyone know if the same is possible for forcing the PIT, or repartitioning, possibly via IDE direct to board with a Riff box and writing direct to nand, or via SD?

Losing a partition isn't any fun, and odin is useless.

no n00bs please ;)

Prof.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Never heard of a pit being recreated, warranty repair for pit failure is a new motherboard so I'd guess if it were possible samsung would use it themselves.

Are all the i9300 you have fitted with the insane emmc chip? If so I'd guess it might be more likely bad blocks than just the file table corrupt.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof. Meowington:
I have no way of knowing as some get as far as the first bootanim which as far as i remember is part of the bootloader mmc, but if anyone can provide me with chip model ID's, i can see...

Are any hardware identifiers for the chip floating around the forums? I'm tempted to try a transplant from an un-salvageable board if i can differentiate between the chips.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The chip is VTU00M but since its only the firmware revision 0xf1 affected, I doubt you identify it externally.

Although if you're getting a pit error during Odin flash, that's 99% attributed to NAND failure anyway so even identifying an SDS affected chip won't really help much. As already stated, it's a mobo replace probably.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mahanddeem:
Hello

Is it possible to flash T-Mobile M919 radio on an international galaxy S4 I9505 to get T-Mobile LTE ?

Did anybody do that successfully ?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jslim38:
I haven't heard of anyone attempting that so I will definitely say no to that and I wouldn't recommend trying it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
No, it's not just the radio, the hardware supports different bands; it won't work.

You will only get edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mahanddeem:
Hardware is the same as far as I know !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
Not the bands it supports.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mahanddeem:
What I understand is : I9505 and M919 have the exact same hardware, the difference is in the radio file which makes the 2 devices have different LTE band. I believe the only difference is the radio programming which makes the difference but wanted to see if anybody manged to do it actually.

Many AT&T Galaxy s2 users flash T-Mobile radio and get T-Mobile AWS bands on their devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
I'm telling you because I had the i9505, I only got Edge. You will get 4G (NOT LTE) in SOME areas where the network has been reframed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mahanddeem:
I see. Thanks exel

Too bad I was thinking to buy it but if it's not gonna work with T-Mobile LTE that's a deal breaker although my city is 99% refarmed, but LTE is something else !

Didn't you try flashing a T-Mobile radio (or any mod) to make it happen ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sharpmarble:
Did you have the guts to try this in the end? I am thinking about flashing the M919 modem on my I9505 to see if I can get T-Mobile LTE in New York City.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nycemc:
I'm in the very same situation, and the thing is i've been hearing conflicting stories and accounts of people saying that it doesn't work, to others saying that they managed to get the 4g /lte working somehow, either through aws band ,or other software tweaks... I just want a concrete answer as to whether or not it's possible and if so how to do eet ? otherwise i just have an expensive smartphone that only gets 3mbps dwn, and 1mbps up at best on t mobiles h+ :(
[Android General] zarpy:
Ok you put time and effort into your games or apps but still cant seem to get downloads. You might even see a game or app similar to yours but for some reason they are charting but your not. There are over 100,000 developers and over a million apps on googleplay. What are they doing that your not?

1) Website- I see a lot of developers that have a single blog page for all their apps. Look at the format of google play and match your website as close as you can to what google play has. Why? Customers are use to a certain format and like things that look familiar . Think like a customer when building a website and put the same effort as you were in programming your apps.

2)Social Networking-Make a twitter and facebook account. Any app release you have or updates post them.You can even interact with customers and get feedback directly from them. Use this as a tool to learn from real people and adjust your game or app based on feedback.

3)Make Niche Apps- There is no way indie developers can match the power of big companies. Rather than try to take on gameloft or EA focus on niche apps. Small apps like car locators or how to cook books. Small apps like these have been know to get more downloads vs making a game going against a bigger company. Small focused apps or simple games with great graphics can draw people to your app.

4)Post in Forums- Post your game or app in several forums. Be careful as many forums are not really indie friendly. Most forums have a section where you can post games or apps away from where regular forum users cant see. Also you might run into jealous developers who have nothing better to do then degrade your game. Post in several forums to bring in users but remember this is only a small part of your marketing efforts. This forums is very developer friendly though.

5)Rate Me Button- In your apps your should have a rate me button and a googleplay button that points to only your apps in google play. You can also have a button to your website to give the customer a more personal touch.

6) Paid vs. Free- I would suggest you make 4 to 5 free apps before making a paid app. Most customers do not want to pay and only enjoy free apps. You can make a paid version but be warned if you make a paid version users might

1) uninstall the free version

2)buy the paid version

3)refund the paid version but keep the apk on thier device

4) Now they have the paid version for free.

I will make another how to market your android apps part 2 soon. Till then good luck with your games and apps.

These are helpful tips seeing as me and a friend just released our first app a month ago, thanks!

[RECOVERY] [4/5/16] TWRP 3.2.1-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project

TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.2.1-0 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Interntional Qualcomm and Exynos)!

Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvWVS_Rkxo

Full TeamWin credits are on the TWRP page on the TeamWin website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Decryption of /data

Easy selection of internal/external storage

See changelog below for new features

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

Does the EFS Backup Issue (T-mobile note 3 TWRP) solved with this update ?

PS: I own a N9005 (not n900T)

Hello,

Thank you for TWRP Recovery.

Sorry for the stupid question but what is the compatible version of TWRP for the SM-N9005?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] yeeson:
Very nice

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Khizar:
wow.. really quick, you told me yesterday that you would port it in a couple of days and its already out.. great job.. btw i got a bug to report i have it on both twrp adn cwm, when i tried doing a factory reset on stock odexed rooted rom i start getting FCs... other than the tmo twrp that i have been using works fine

Edit- the goo link give me an erro but the mirror works fine

yeah you have an option to not restore efs, and by default is it unselcted.. i resotred an backup about 30 mins ago and no issues

n9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Cole59:
Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xuweisheng:
will this trigger the knox to 0x01?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Khizar:
no problem

yes...flashing any custom recovery, custom rom, or custom kernel will trip the knox binary counter
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Richard_10:
Thanks for the Answer. However, I think my question wasn't clear; I actually I was wondering if I can backup and RESTORE EFS without any problem in the latest TWRP ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] captainhakan:
Exynos version coming anytime soon or is it even in schedule ? TWRP was my favourite recovery since note2 and i feel like we are being left behind as exynos Note 3 users
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Elin28:
I have been using twrp for all my devices in the past (note 2, HTC one, nexus 4, S4) but now even though the recovery is there but absolutely zero development on custom Rom tailor to N900W8. My device is rooted with RDLV knox 0x0..so maybe wait a bit before flashing this recovery..
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It seems modifying boot/system/recovery partitions trips knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I haven't tried yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Will take a look and add to this thread some point in the future.

Heimdall on Linux

I managed to flash this successfully with Heimdall 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 13.10 - grabbed my PIT, loaded it, and flashed the 2.6.3.6 .img as RECOVERY.

However, the phone did bootloop from all the way within the OS four or five times, and anther two or three times between the Samsung logo and the boot animation.

If the issue is an error mounting /usbstorage then it still persists with 2.6.3.6 - log attached.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aramyscampos:
Hello guys what's up?

I was wondering, if it would be possible to INCREASE the power, to give some boost to the radio, by "just" changing some parameters, some codes on the cel phone itself or even on the firmware software.

I think that my HTC ONE 3G signal is a little bit weak, in comparison to my old Samsung Galaxy S3. If a place both phones, side by side, inside a building, the S3 works at 3G all the time, where the Öne goes 2G :(

I'm already running the latest firmware radio for HTC One ( (WWE 4.3/3.57.401.500) Radio_4A.20.3263.30_10.38l.1157.04L )

Thanks

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayam:
Hey everyone,

I've been eyeing this forum ever since I got my XZ, two months ago. I decided to root a few days ago (that Kingo one click program) and tried to improve my phone a bit everyday.

Today, I tried to hide the navbar by adding that line at the bottom of build.prop. I edited the file with QuikOffice but when I wanted to save, I couldn't simply replace the one there so I saved it somewhere else and copy/pasted it in place of the old one. I shut down the phone and when I tried to turn it on again : bootloop. I don't know how an extra line could mess the phone this much but I'm wondering if I haven't modified some other line without knowing it.

I read that using flashtool was an option so I downloaded an installed SEUS and then Flashtool (EMMA). I connected the phone following the instructions (volume down button) but I got a "Locked phone error". I haven't done much after rooting, especially not setting up a recovery or unlocking the bootloader.

Can anyone guide me through this ? I read things about using an update.zip file but have no idea how that works. I also don't have access to the original build.prop. I've also read people who espaced a bootloop without losing data. But the "locked phone" part doesn't seem to be common. As for the Sony Update Service, it just tells me that the phone already has the last "software version" and that's it.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixellegolas:
hm, can you download sony pc companion and try? I used it yesterday and there is a service tab where you can fix and download updates etc. Maybe there is a reinstall firmware or some such
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayam:
Thank but PC Companion offered to repair the device but at the cost of all data.

I was able to solve the issue and keep my data by flashing a stock ROM using the actual Flashtool and not Emma. I'm not running CM10.2 and everything is looking great :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VaRMiT:
Im sure you all have heard this one before. But I think mine may be alittle different. Im getting the error, System software not authorized etc. I bought it off of someone. I have odin 3.07 and it doesnt show the COM ports. I got USB drivers for samsung cellphones. I also got the stock ROM downloaded. I guess the question is, is there a way to flash this back to stock from the SD Card? I noticed this. I unplug the USB cable. The phone turns off. It does not come on unless the USB cable is hooked up. So I dont know if this means anything different. This phone has never been hooked up to this computer. It shows a Unknown Device in my device manager. Its hardware ID tag is USB\UNKNOWN. It is showing the SECURE FAIL: KERNAL. Can someone point me in the corrrect direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
I'm guessing you when you bought it the phone booted is this correct?

If yes, what firmware is on it?

What have you done that no longer allows the phone the boot (did you flash something with Odin)?

The more info the better....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VaRMiT:
Ive done nothing. I can get it to the POWER, VOL DOWN, HOME BUTTON and it shows the droid Downloading .....

I have no clue what firmware is on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
So you bought the phone and it has never booted for you?

If you have MF3 bootloader on there and someone tried to install a custom recovery it could be soft bricked.

Not sure what to suggest if you don't know what occurred to cause the phone to only go into download mode?

You could take it to best buy with a samsung experience center and have them reflash it?

The only problem with this is if you don't have MF3 bootloader, best buy will flash it and upgrade it.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RK:
Try to Odin MDL on it first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VaRMiT:
When you mean MDL. thats the stock rom correct? I do have that. When I look at Odin, it doesnt show anything on the COM part at the top left. Like its hooked up to a com port.

What I meant by the Downloading ...... (with the driod logo guy) Im saying I can get it to do that. Im at the point where I cant get the S4 to be reconized by ODIN. I have the stock rom, odin 3.07 files. I have tried to install the samsung usb drivers....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VaRMiT:
Still no reply on how to fix this? I have no clue on what to do here. I dont know what firmware etc is on it. I bought it this way. I just want to flash it back to factory, its the att version. It only stays on when the usb is hooked up. I can get it to go into download mode. But on the computer, it doesnt show a usb device being found. I can start odin up, but nothing appears on the COM to show what com port is available. Is there anything I can do here off of a SDCard? I also need to mention that I can not hold down vol up and power and home button to get it to go into recovery mode. It flashes it fast and goes to the yellow triangle.

Anyone please.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You need to get Odin to recognize it. Try different usb cables. Use the usb ports on the back of the computer. Try a different computer. Without knowing the firmware you're on odin may not work, but it should still recognize your device. If you're on mdl firmware Odin will work. If you're on mf3 then you're sol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
Have you tried to get into the recovery and not just the download mode?

Volume up + Home + Power - If you can get into a recovery try to do a factory reset.

If you cant get into the recovery than you'll need Odin. Sometimes (rarely) kies well affect Odin. If you have kies uninstall it and than run odin.

- Open Odin without your phone connected.

- Power on your device, go into download (Odin) mode. Volume down + home + power.

- Now plug device into your computer.

- Odin should read it, unless its MF3 firmwire.

If your phone is MF3, you may need a Samsung bestbuy rep to reflash the mf3 firmwire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VaRMiT:
I have tried the power, vol up and home. It flashes the recovery, then goes back to the triangle. Odin, doesnt show a COM port that the phone is connected when i have it in download mode.

Also....i do appreciate you all for helping me figure this out.
