It works! I just gained root permissions on my new gtab :)

Thank you N00BY0815 !!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ricorico94:
Does this mean that my current sm-t210 (in fw 4.1.2) which is stock and non rooted can be rooted without losing warranty ?

and the mention about a chinese superuser is easy to "repair" and get back my French status ?

Or what about this other method from Ironman38102:

Ironman38102 : could you detail the procedure ? I'm very intrested in any mean to root my tablet without losing warranty..

ricorico94
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ironman38102:
First make sure all the drivers are installed then go to this website http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and download the tool. Then launch the tool and u may see option #drop supersu etc. Etc. And then press start. After when its completed download and install supersu then download busybox and install busybox via busy box app.

Done(Hope I was clear enough)

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ricorico94:
Thanks.

In Cydiaimpactor, do we need to change anyoption ? (you mention "#drop supersu, etc." : do we need such options or just leave them as they are ?)

Is it the cydiaimpactor which is allowing root, or the supersu and busybox ? Those apps (busybox and supersu) are supposed to require root, but I didn't know they are used to root.

ricorico94
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ironman38102:
Leave them as they are and when u run that tool it roots ur device but does not install the busybox and superuser so install those after u run cydia impactor.

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ricorico94:
I downloaded cydiaimpactor, but It doesn't find my device. When I connect tablet on PC, the PC can see the tablet. Just in case, I downloaded some drivers (not found on samsung which apprently only lists in downloads some manuals.. but google drove me to some pages with samsung drivers) and my PC can discuss with tablet.

But when clicking "start" in Cydia, I receive an error message "no device found" and if I tru the USB/scan menu, I also receive an error message "no such device". Any idea ?

Cydia had no installer, so I unzipped all files in a temporary folder (c:\temp\cydiaimpactor) and double click on the .exe .

ricorico94
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ironman38102:
Try reinstalling the drivers by connecting it in a different usb port. It will search and install the drivers then try again
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ricorico94:
I'm stupid... I had forgotten to enable "usb debug".. Once enabled, I run cydia with same error, but retrying 1 minute later, it worked !

After cydia, I did not install supersu, but only rootkeeper, which detected the tablet as rooted.

What is the advantage of supersu ? Description lists many features, but are those really helpfull when usage is not to develop but rather to enable use of apps such as adblocking, security, etc. ?

Thanks a lot for your help, and bravo for having found and published ths method which allows my device to remain with "official" status !

ricorico94
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ironman38102:
U need supersu and busybox for most scripts and apps here in xda and playstore so I suggest you install it. Also pressing thanks is alot better than saying it

instructions

i am currently rooting a tab 3 but i have rooted a lot of samsung devices already. i always use odin, flash cwm, but this time it didnt work.

i want to try this method but there is no clear instructions of how to root the device using this method.

i have already downloaded the file and i thought that the instructions would be there but it is not.

i have read the whole thread about cydia impactor but im unsure of it. please post how to root using this method.

my last resort is to download a prerooted image which is 1GB+ and takes a lot of time to download considering the download speeds in my country.

thanks in advance. would give a thumbs up if replied.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
Try CWM again and make sure you un-check auto-reboot in Odin. PM me if you need help.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] droid_s2:
i have found a video in youtube on how to root the device.

here is how i did it:

after flashing you should not turn off the device and go directly to recovery mode.

this will take you to cwm recovery.

[if the device is turned off, then youll go to recovery mode, it will be on stock recovery]

then install a zip to make CWM recovery permanent.

thanks anyways for replying

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Va1ha1a:
Hey guys, so recently the screen on my flo mysteriously cracked, and the touch screen is broken (does not respond to input, the digitizer is somehow broken). I had an otg cable and a mouse, so I've been able to backup my data through box.com. Now I was wondering if it was safe to wipe the tablet through settings, even though i have a custom recovery (On one of my old devices, this combination would cause a hard brick). I would do it through recovery, but i cant use the touchscreen. Thanks for any response.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rocksyjj:
i would use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit as you can wipe it completely and lock the bootloader this way its like the first day you bought it just in case they see some modding then can say it voids the return policy.

this way you can remove custom recovery also

me is new to all this maybe theres a better way let the pros answer this :)

oh where did it crack as happened aswell to a friend he returned his last week in the uk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Va1ha1a:
Thanks, I'll take a look at that. it cracked in the bottom left corner. It isn't even that big a crack, i don't understand why the whole display is dead.

Edit: Unfortunatly, I can't do that because I would need to verify adb from my pc, which I can't because the screen is broken
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I haven't tried on this device, but there were ways to "remote control" android devices over the USB cable that I used on past android devices when the screen was cracked.

You basically get a copy of the screen on your PC and use the mouse to control the tablet.

I forget the app but you can search or someone will chime in.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

If you boot into bootloader using the power+voldown combo, you can flash the factory images and after it reboots go back to bootloader and relock.

Doesn't require touchscreen as far as I can remember.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Va1ha1a:
Thanks for that, I've gotten all the data off of it, I just used an otg cable and a mouse. I'll have to download the factory images when I get home.

Im a new with this kind thing.

I flash custom kernel which is cm_anzu-LX-20130926-NIGHTLY provided in moPROJECT42 v8 rom.

then, i open my phone the logo kernel is out.After that my phone is blank. Nothing happen.

I dont know my step using flashtool to flash kernel is right or wrong.. Somebody help me?

I cant open my Phone.

My step using flashtool- i connect my phone in fastboot (blue light)>Open FlashTool>Click Flash Device>Fastboot mode>i choose "select kernel to flash">then i choose that kernel boot.img>then only 2 or 3 second its say done. I disconnect my phone and i open, see the Logo, then just black screen.

somebody can help me?

My device is Xperia Arc S. Already unlock bootloader. Already root and install X-part for CWM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vorne:
next time read the instructions provided by the ones who posted whatever it is that you have downloaded.

> after using FlashTool to flash the kernel restart your phone.

> then right at the moment you see the kernel's logo on the screen press any of

the hardware buttons of your phone repeatedly until your phone enters recovery

mode.

> inside the recovery mode choose "install update zip" or something like that,

then choose the .zip file you wish to install, in this case, its the CM10.1 LX ROM

that you have downloaded. wait until it is done.

> then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

> restart the phone.

for more details i suggest that you go back and read the instruction provided in the thread where you saw that ROM, and use the search function for tutorial on how to properly install ROMS and Kernel and what not.

now, have a nice day! :cowboy:

[Asus Transformer TF701] Govermans:
Hi,

I recently bought a TF701. Two hours ago I was playing games on my tablet, which was at that time about 35% charged. The games I was playing were 3D (Sailboat, beach buggy blitz and No Gravity), as well as checking facebook etc. All of a sudden (without a warning) the tablet switched off. I tried to restart it, but all I saw was the empty battery sign. I hooked it up to the charger and switched it on again: the TF701 worked again as it should.

I'm using "SystemPanel" on active monitoring: the active monitor recorded this (2 hours plot) and this (8 hours plot), which is: a sudden, full discharge of the tablet... However, the hour before the discharge, there was no 'gradual' discharge monitored. To me, this is strange. Can anyone provide some explanation?

Has anyone else encountered this? And... should I return the tablet?

Kind regards!

p.s. there's not yet a dedicated forum for the TF701, so I'm posting it here. If it's the wrong forum, please inform me / move the post :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Govermans:
update: I tried several things and I have reached a conclusion: the mechanism that monitors the battery does not function (properly).

What have I done? I recharged the device: at least I think it did... (indicator goes up to 100%) I then played energy consuming games: it works perfectly. However, the indicator does not drop: it remains at 100%. It does not matter whether I watch the stock-app or SystemPanel, it just doesn't drop... Now, I do like a device that has endless energy, but we all know that does not exist (yet).

I have tried a full factory reset (rebooting while pressing VOLUME down + power and then select wipe data), but it did not change: the indicator remains at 100%, even after watching several youtube clips and tried some games...

So the conslusion is a broken indicator, probably a hardware malfunction. So it will be a return... Fortunately, my webshop has real stores as well... Hopefully I'll get a new one.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
You could try to use Battery Drainer by Dan Michlin from the Play Store (I would deselect the "vibrate" option when running it - seems a little excessive).

Run the battery down until it reboots, let it sit for a day or two and recharge.

If it still gives you wildly inaccurate readings I would return it.

Update: I have received a new tablet, so no more issues here.

I've been a long time lurker in the Epic 4G Touch forum and updated the Note 3 a week ago. I figured I'd post something that some might find useful. This is NOT my work; it was originally posted by Bilgerryan but I discovered that you can unzip the file, install the apk, and it actually works on my Note 3 without root.

I, personally, prefer this camera's PhotoSphere to the stock Surround Shot.

hi everyone.

This is my first thread on XDA forum.

is there a way to convert mhl/hdmi output from 1080p to 720p? because i want to play HD games on tv(like shadowgun,modern combat 4...etc)without dropped FPS,im not sure if s2 is performing well on rendering 1080p because i dont have one yet.

is there anyone tried playing games with s2 hooked up with mhl/hdmi cable at 1080p without any issues?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damageinflictor:
Nope. You Cannot change the resolution. Period.

That being said, I presently own the same phone and let me tell you that after installing a custom ROM and kernel (Revolution ROM), my phone works flawlessly on hdmi with those heavy games, paired with my wireless bluetooth ps3 controller.

I think in your case, the stock rom is to be blamed for the underperformance as per my experience.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LYandroid:
you mean i have to use a custom ROM (like the rom you said) to play these games smoothly on hdmi?

two more questions:which kernel you are using?and how did you pair the ps3 controller(let me guess..."sixaxis controller"app right)?:cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damageinflictor:
Currently the kernel I am on is Revolution kernel which comes with Revolution ROM. It also plays MHL output just like stock sammy kernel. But the best performing kernel in my opinion would be Siyah v6.05b kernel, which I had been using in the past but had to leave cause of battery drain issues.

And yes, sixaxis controller is the right application to pair any ps controller, go give it a try.;)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] raolleel:
Hey,

I'm asking myself, why Huawei used a crypted bootloader.

Ok, i can understand if they did this to prevent custom roms and kernel-modification ... but why did the release the aops-kernel-source, if you can't flash the finished kernel and use it to make a good-working aosp-based rom?

Why did they even release this kernel-source.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
They are probably planning on removing the encryption in the near future, otherwise there would be no use for the AOSP kernel.

Sounds like this ..

But i think its a little bit frustrating, if you know the sources but you cant do anything ^^
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Traace:
Why u all so miss informed?

Source is real kernel who runs by Huawei. Its not "AOSP".

Bootloader (u-boot) just crc check then starts init ramdisk and boot Android.

Only Update.app use MD5 RSA for verify

Root

You can root your device go to the development forums for your note 8.0 and download a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. You need to flash it with Odin. I would give you the links, but I'm new here so I can't give links. After you flash your recovery find superuser.zip somewhere online and flash it with your bootloader.

Again I would give you the links but I can't post any so just Google them.

Since SGH-I467 has a locked bootloader, rooting it is a challenge. Originally I was not going to do it knowing the difficulties, but when a file explorer complained it couldn't write to the external SD card without root, I know I must root it.

Please be aware SGH-I467M (note the ending M) is a different animal. The Canadian version's bootloader is UNLOCKED, and thus rooting it is a breeze!

With my SGH-I467 I tried many different methods. Finally I was able to root it using Kingo Root (not Kingroot). Kingo Root is actually a one click rooting method. Just proceed with the instruction by the program.

OK I tried doing a port of aokp with the grouper jb1 milestone 2.

Replaced the grouper kernel with the sero stock kernel. Then a repackaged of the kernel. Then I extracted randomblames vendor tree in to the grouper rom. Then I zipped it and tried to install it. I got the error 7 a couple of times the it installed. And then it froze at the hisense screen. When I tried building from source using rb device and vendor tree I kept getting a manifest error. I have followed all of the guides on how to port roms on xda and none have worked for me.
