Having problem custom recovery not sticking after odin flash.am on stock 4.12 w/root.have used odin 1.85 & 3.1.have tried twrp & cwm.always reverts back to stock recovery at reboot.

There used to be a unbrick/back to stock app w/root for earlier galaxies.that kept me out of a lot of trouble.since I'm on att note 4 w/locked bootloaders,I haven't paid much attention to what's available now.

any ideas why recovery isn't sticking.any help appreciated.thnx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbb1robert:
Thnx for reply.before I saw your reply,I tried the rashr app from playstore.it worked first try.i had tried goomanager,quick boot and some of the other apps with no luck.

Thnx again.now I can flash a more current rom.

After bailing on sprint and acquiring a no contract deal with Tmobile I went ahead and rooted my 2 day old S4, did Chainfire's auto root, all is well, wanted stock/rooted, attempted a b/u and font on cwm is very tiny. (Old school cwm).

Anyone know how to increase fonts, on cwm menu?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anomaly350z:
Hi there!

I just bought my new phone recently. Went from iphone 4 to S4. Big improvement. I really love my new S4. One minor annoyance, though.

it is the bloatwares that are on my S4.

I want to root it and ONLY want to remove the bloatwares. I don't want to do anything else. I just want to be able to remove the bloatware as i don't find them useful and i could use extra space and make my phone snappy.

I am still learning my way around the website. I am sorry if this has been asked before.

Mind you, my baseband is i9505XXUBMG4 and android version is 4.2.2. I bought it unlocked.

I am bought it here in New Zealand. Most of the guides refer to phones being used in USA.

I would love a proper simple layman explanation. I would love to do a simple root just to REMOVE the bloatwares.

I am on a MAC btw. So i'd appreciate any root explanation using a MAC.

Hope this made sense. I appreciate any help! Thanks for bearing with me. :) cheers!

Hi,

Thanks.

I tried when my phone was completely stock. Prior to even changing out the launcher. Humph.... I may have to go talk to verizon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshsstuff:
I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work :(

A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.

This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.

(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)

Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnabydog:
Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.

I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshsstuff:
Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!

The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!

The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch) :(

A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .

So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?

How did you know about this barnabydog?

is there another thread that discusses this issue?

After i use basic mode, every time when i do the soft reset, there are pop up said V2R O2 Active UI the interface won't run..etc..

I saw there are o2 active.ink in the /window/startup folder.

do i just del it? but will it affects anythings?

I really liked my HTC rezound combined with Poweramp. I rooted my rezound and installed CyanogenMod 10.2 rom with Aroma Beats and Poweramp and it was fantastic. The only downside with CyanogenMod Rom was the battery life. But it depends on what you mean by loud things. I usually listen to music with headphones so that was what was great about that phone. The speaker on the Rezound was loud but not as clear as my HTC ONE that I have right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttl8me:
Good day! I just want to put to rest this rumor going around the net about Note 3's screen not being made with gorilla glass.. Is it true? I search corning gorilla glass site and Note 3 is not included in their list of smartphones made with gorilla glass. Could it be their website is not updated? I find it weird that Samsung will not include gorilla glass on their Note 3 considering it's a flagship phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MFZ22:
Take from this what you want to.. This is about the Note II, but the Note 3 would definitely follow suit. And yea, I replied to an old thread, but so what ? It's better than starting a new thread about something that's been discussed a lot already.

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Vivan'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.

Your Issue ID for this chat is

Vivan: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Me: What type of glass does the Galaxy Note II have ?

Vivan: I understand that you want to know the device specifications.

Vivan: May I know the model number of your phone ? You can find the model number beneath the phone's battery which generally starts with SGH, SCH or SPH .

Me: SGH-I317

Vivan: Thank you for the model number.

Vivan: I would like to inform you that this Note II device has the Gorilla Glass 2.

Me: I see.. Is there a specific reason why Corning's website wouldn't have the Note II listed as having Gorilla Glass but it has the Note and Note 3 listed there ?

Vivan: We do not know the inform about this website, however the Note II have the Gorilla glass.

Me: OK.. one more thing..

Vivan: Sure, please go ahead.

Me: Some Note II manuals recommend to not use a screen protector and other model manuals recommend a screen protector, why would that be ?

Vivan: May I know which manuals you have viewed this information?

Me: Just browsing around the internet, i've seen people from different countries post pictures of their manuals

Vivan: I see. It is not recommended to use screen protectors with the phone, but to not get the scratches and issues with sensors, you can use screen protectors.

Me: The S Pen works very well without one. Is that why it's not recommended because of the S Pen ?

Vivan: Yes, you're right. For effective use with Touch screen and S Pen, the screen protectors are not recommended.

Me: Thanks for your answers..

Vivan: You're welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Me: No

Vivan: Thank you.

Vivan: If you are looking for more details on the functionality of a product or would like to find answers to some of the questions, visit us at SamsungSimulator for an interactive review of some of our Samsung products. Great to save to favorites…easy access to simulators!!

Vivan: I would be happy to assist you if you have any further questions. Also, to understand our customers needs, we request you to fill in the survey form by clicking on the blue "X close" button after I have answered all your questions. Follow Samsung Service on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Hi,

I have the SM-N900W8 (Canadian Note 3) variant of the phone, and I tried to root it using Zedomax's video as well as chainfire's. Chainfire's worked as in I got root access (verified with root checker). However, I can't access the recovery menu ie when I hold vol up pwr and home button I only get access to the default recovery. What's up with that? Am I missing something? Do I need to update/install busybox? I really want to install that sound boost mod.

Would really appreciate any help . Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
rooting your device only roots it.. if you want a custom recovery, then get the tar file from the thread and odin it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saffant:
Yea that's what I did. I flashed with ODIN to get root (how else would you root the phone anyway?).

Anyway, I figured it out. I pulled out the battery as soon as the ODIN flash passed and phone was rebooting ( took it out right at the Galaxy Note 3 bootup logo). CWM works fine now.

Thanks anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] stevetsimmons.com:
My GSM Moto X developer edition's screen appears yellow when viewed on axis, yet turns more natural (purer white) when viewed off-axis. I just received this phone and want to exchange it if it is defective. Are others are experiencing the same thing?

To test this, load something white like google.com in web browser. then tilt the phone.
[Moto X Q&A] momentary:
Mine appears identical in either orientation. Are you using any kind of screen protector that might be affecting it based on viewing angle?
[Moto X Q&A] linuxgator:
You aren't wearing any glasses with polarized lenses, are you? Most screens are polarized and if you wear lenses that are as well, you will have problems viewing at certain angles. It's quite common with sunglasses.
[Moto X Q&A] stevetsimmons.com:
Is anyone else's Moto X screen yellow-ish when viewed on-axis?

Thanks for commenting back. I do not have a screen protector nor sunglasses on but those are both valid thoughts. The shift is especially noticeable on white and light greys. As I tilt the phone in my hand, the color temperature shifts from a subtle yellow-ish white when viewed straight on to more of a reddish white as it is angled away from me. It is subtle but bothersome. Are you guys not seeing ANY shift at all? If you don't mind, give it another try while viewing google.com. if you see no shift at all, please comment back and I will ship my phone back for exchange. Thanks again for your help with this.
[Moto X Q&A] M973:
I tried it on Google.com the other day after I saw your post, looked the same to me in landscape and portrait.
[Moto X Q&A] stevetsimmons.com:
Is anyone else's Moto X screen yellow-ish when viewed on-axis?

Thanks for looking. FWIW, the issue is not a landscape vs. portrait issue, but rather as you tilt your phone left to right or up and down while maintaining the same orientation. It sounds like I may have a defect.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
I would say my screen looks just a whee bit bluer anytime I look at my screen at an extreme angle, orientation makes no difference at all. I have no complaints.
[Moto X Q&A] theraffman:
I checked as well, only difference is when I tilt the even to an angle where I can barely see the screen... Aside from that, no noticeable difference.
[Moto X Q&A] stevetsimmons.com:
Thanks!

thanks for your help, Mine takes just a slight tilt :+/- 5 degrees to see a noticible shift in color. so Mine appears defective. I will contact motorola and request an exchange. what an incredible resource you guys are: I have at my fingertips a host of people with moto x's to help me figure this out. thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] meant2live218:
I can't really tell if it's only when I tilt, but when I compare the "white" from my phone to the "white" of my brother's iPhone, or my laptop screen, it does indeed appear yellow-ish. But on its own, I can't really tell...

Hi,

I am looking to buy a mobile under Rs.25000/-

I found two best mobiles. LG Nexus 4 & HTC One X Plus

Only few difference i found,

HTC ONE X Plus

1GB RAM

32/64GB Internal Memory

1.7Ghz QuadCore Processor

LG Nexus 4

2GB RAM

16GB Internal Memory

1.5Ghz QuadCore Processor

So, I wanna know which mobile will have a good processing speed, i mean mobile should not hang.

I love playing games. SO i want no lag in HD games like asphalt 8, Nova 3.
[Android Themes] drive2droad:
As far as i am concerned , The obvious choice is a Nexus 4 apart from the horrible camera .
[Android Themes] billy.anderson:
You ask at wrong section, this is Android themes subs.

For me, Nexus is more better and the guarantee of firmware update
[Android Themes] PAGOT:
I am not sure, but doesn't the HOX have Tegra 3 , Nvidia Graphics that beat the Adreno of the Nexus?

Also camera is much better on HOX. And also display is much better on HOX.

Apart from that, battery and software is worse on the HOX if you got stock roms.

I had a HOX (not the +) for 2 years... sold it. Bought a Nexus 4 and gave Nexus 4 back because it had the earpiece/speaker static noise issue. Which all the phones have. Bought an LG G2 and that phone has the same issue ,.... woohoo...

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Another thing, Nexus 4 has only 16GB memory, means you can not load on it closely nothing to big games. One big game and space gone ...

And there is no USB-OTG without hacking AND you need external power supply.

So NEXUS 4 for sure not for gaming :)
[Android Themes] AppReviewBros:
None of the above. Wait a few weeks for the Nexus 5 instead.
[Android Themes] Me Gusta:
Wait for nexus 5! If you don't want to, still wait for it :P will totally be worth it!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
Hi folks. SNagged an "untested" kindle fire HD 7 off ebay. Wanted to try my luck with the kindle tablet's since I haven't owned or rooted any of them. Sadly, it's not working. It turns on, comes to the kindle fire logo, does a slow lens flare, goes to the fast lens flare and cycles that a bit before briefly stopping the fast moving flare and starting it all over again.

I've tried powering it down, doing the "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with no other devices attached, attaching the fire and it won't work. It boots up exactly as if I just hit power. I never get anything saying it's going into fastboot mode. The PC doesn't give me the standard "new hardware doink" either. Is this a case for buying one of those factory cables and trying that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That command only works on the 8.9" models, you need a fastboot cable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
So for the 7 inch version, in order for me to have any hope of trying to get this thing functional is to get that factory/fastboot cable?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Yes if you have a Samsung brand value you can make one by shorting on the micro end pins 1 and 4
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Yes, you're in a bootloop and must have a fastboot cord now. You can make one or buy one off eBay for 10 buck or so. Then try using KFFA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

I haven't been able to use the KFA to get this thing out of the boot loop.

Now that I have a factory cable, I can get the KF HD 7 into fastboot mode. When I run the utility, it seems I get errors. Here's a snippet.

This happens when I restore to 7.2.3 or .1 I can unplug it from the PC, reboot it and come right back to the same bootloop as before. Goes through the fast movement of light on the logo, quick black screen, back to the logo and the lights again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wondrej:
Just so I understand, you went to KFFA and choose to restore your kindle to 7.2.3 option? Using Factory Cable? Just asking because this is what I did to restore my kindle from bootloop and it worked just fine
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
Yes. However, did you notice the errors in my code? It seems that the tool is unable to format the KD HD 7 for some reason. Do you think it's possible that once I'm in fastboot that I can issue a command via normal fastboot (from the command prompt) that will force the format?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wondrej:
one more question? how long have you let it on "boot loop" after you tried this? If I recall corectly I took me quiet a while to boot for the first time (like 2 minutes or so) I was actually worried at the time it didn't work, but I just let it be for few minutes and it booted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
I admit it was about only 1 min or so only because I watched it long enough to SEE the loop. It wasn't that the boot up was taking a long time, I saw it cycle at least twice from black to slow lens flare on the logo, then the fast flare, then a quick black screen and rinse/repeat. Being somebody who's flashed a lot of roms on tabs and phones for years, I definitely am patient with a "cook" time. This didn't seem like a settling in type issues since I saw the pattern repeat at least twice.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wondrej:
I am with you, I am just trying to eliminate the easy problems first, before we start trying crazy stuff.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
Understood. When I get home, I'll boot it back up and let it sit for 5 mins and see what happens.

I can say that at least the factory cable did put it into fastboot mode properly whereas the stock USB cables did not. Is there a fastboot command that can be done to tell it to format those areas it is having problems with? The inability to format userdata and cache worries me.
