so, i need a bootloader dump :

could you do it for me and post the link please :)

on adb :

Invoke "adb root"

Invoke "adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/bootloader.img bs=1024 count=4096"

Buenas noches, mi Newman N2 quedó brick después de actualizar de android 4.0 a android 4.1.

No enciende, no entra a recovery, no entra a bootloader. Mi amigo tiene un Newman N2 con android 4.1, existe alguna manera de revivir mi Newman usando el de mi amigo?

Has anyone found a way to have chrome on android spoof itself as a non-android device so that we can use this? My wife and I have separate amazon accounts with books on them. Insane DRM on books does not allow us to share books that we have purchased nor can we have Amazon merge our accounts and transfer purchases to one single account. It seems the best fix would be for her to log into the cloud reader on her device as myself in order to read the books I've purchased on my account.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chanito88:
Why would u need to run the 8 cores at the same time? i mean, i think's it's a waste of energy and also your battery would die like in 6 hours.

Besides the info that Zoddex posted, i thinks it's only a rumour, u dont need to run 8 cores at the same time on a cellphone, it's too much
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
So what's the point of those 8 cores then?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
It is a waste of battery if they all run at 1.4ghz all day. More threads will make the device faster. Think of 1 core vs quad on Pc.

More cores at lower frequencies (of course with the ability to perform at top speeds when needed) will also address overheating.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Those 8 cores are meant to save battery. ARM architecture big.LITTLE does the work, 4 low power cores run while running most common/weak processes and the other 4 are idle. Then when running a game or a heavy video for example it will turn off these low power 4 cores and turn on the other 4 powerful ones. Got it?

And I believe S4 won't get this update... Makes no sense for me... Even GNote makes no sense to me too, but I believe it has a better battery for this, the S4 battery is too weak for this.

some notes

rooted using Root RK29 Tab Toolkit 1.3.

reset and vol + = flash mode rock usb.

RKAndroidToolv1.37 and RKBatchToolv1.7 work for flashing.

used rock usb driver included in either of the flash

tools. when flashing several things needed done to

enable flashing and or adb. do not enable usb storage

on the device. on windows pc used the safely remove

mass storage tool. only on the removable drives that

showed in my computer after plugging in the tablet.

in RKAndroidTool or RKBatchTool use the "switch" button

to put the unit into flash mode. I used RKAndroidTool

to flash the cwm. I tried several cwms, PER5274B_CWM.zip

was only one to boot to recovery for me

(tried many including ones from developerof cwm, just

happened to find one to boot after trying

over and over). so far. succesfully made full backups of

the unit to sd card. obviously mount the ext sd in cwm

first before backing up to sd. succesfully flashed

gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip using PER5274B_CWM.

the stock recovery tool rejected all gapps. note gapps

sometimes closes for no apperent reason with no error.

all other gapps versions i tried crash soon as i

opened them.

cwm file working so far PER5274B_CWM.zip. have only figured

out how to boot to recovery using reboot apk.

key combo is unknown to me so far. actively trying other cwms.

Other cwm's have booted to a white screen for me.

a word to the wise, make full flash backup soon as you

get cwm on. its the only way to turn back to stock as

far as i know. I cannot find a factory rom for this

unit anywhere.

downloading cm 10.1 for rk29xxboard now, will report

results!

Cheers hope this helps out someone.
[General Questions and Answers] stinkster:
well cm10 didnt work out so well. the unit is now resting with no response. I can however still flash it with rkandroidtool. the issue I am facing now is I do not have a full dump image for this unit. I am looking for one that will at least allow me to get it to boot properly to cwm lol. I can see it with rkbatchtool as well. what I would need there is the proper parameter file. pretty sure thats all I need. I did happen to make a backup with cwm but if I cant get the tablet into cwm (currently a no go) thats not going to help me. figures I have since found out how to generate a parameter file.

good news is its not dead, just not working.

I have gotten my moneys worth out of it, not only in using this tablet but also in hacking the thing passing time.

will report further updates.

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] stinkster:
Well its running again, after many firmwares etc. I have the stock firmware running and two others I have modded removing system Apks I didn't want and adding a few as well.

Have several cwm backups as well, a few I plan to post links to. Googleplay works to, root, cwm and busybox also.

Still trying to get hardware keys working to launch cwm at boot by editing the parameter file. It will run when I edit the file with notepad++ and flash it but then I end up in a cwm boot loop forcing me to reflash the orig parameter file to get out of it. Cold boot will get me out if I completely drain the battery otherwise nothing short of flashing it will get me out of cwm. Using notepad++ and inserting "COMBINATION_KEY: 0,6,A,7,0" right after the kernel IMG line gets the power + volume key to start cwm at boot. Then I can't get back out lol.

Stinkster,

Have you made any other progress? Got my kids couple LT7035-F tablets.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Pa®aD®oid:
To the both of you... LT7035-J

curtisint has firmware for model lt7035-j; however, when using rkbatchtool it fails at 97%. My tab is only able to connect to the pc as of now. I can see it with batchtool; however, have not found a firmware.img file to flash to it that completes and works. Very interested in the parameters file you speak of in your second post. Don't know what you know now but I was able to get it root with a tool I found on the net. I think I have it somewhere. Well anyway I was trying to reflash stock firmware because I had no sound just a popping noise/key tone which was silent only when mute. If anyone could help out with a firmware.img that will work for me that would be great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dvsgod:
so for clarification.... those of us on mdk

shouldn't

take this method as we would lose our recovery, correct? This is just for those who want to keep ROOT w/ safestrap only while being on MJ7.

That's correct. This is only for folks on ME7 and above since their bootloader is already locked down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fclifton:

I've received a warranty replacement (refurb) and an insurance replacement (New in box) and both had ME7 installed.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

Well, that was fast. Thanks!

Quick question: I've been rooted via the MI1 Root de la Vega method since it was posted. Do you suppose I could just begin the MJ7 root process at step #5 or would it be recommended that I perform the entire process?

Asking mostly because I'm lazy like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
The main method starts actually from step #5. Steps 1-4 are to avoid people complaining it doesn't work, forgetting they had mods, Xposed framework, Safestrap, or any other system-related changes on their device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
No, you will lose root and custom recovery

from my KToons Hyperdrive X powered Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] emarietta:
i was on the same. i just did the root de la vega odin again and it still errored out. so im guessing you have to start from the beginning and Odin then Odin then OTA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redwings73:
Thank you, sir... I have Xposed framework installed, so I will start from the beginning!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eikoo:
So if your on mdk then you can not update to MJ7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Not yet. Hang in there, you'll know when you can. This stuff is for non Loki devices with no custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
im on mdk too, but just hang in there, these guys are solid; constantly trying for exploits and unlocks, ...being loki-d i feel we are ahead of the pack, however it's important to obtain root first for most stock users (higher userbase) then to update the unlocked bootloader MDK to 4.3 TW, im sure it's already being worked on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spc_hicks09:
I would like to know this too. Is it possible to downgrade to MI1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
You can't go back.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

You can, but it is not advised.

Hey, does this method of retaining root trip the KNOX flag from 0x0 to 0x1???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Will a version of this be able to re-root MJ7 if already updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coor:
So I followed this, but it didn't allow me to update OTA in the final stage. So I did a factory restore in phone settings after acquiring root and applying survival mode in SuperSU. It kept root through the restore, so I risked running the OTA directly after applying survival mode again instead of replacing the param file. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone, but this is how I did it. Maybe it will help someone in some way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kasim1:
I can confirm that.

I was having issues with WiFi and MMS (something with APN) after i did Update(root)

I did a factory restore, and my root with SuperUser was in place.

and everything working now :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jsyme222:
I had that same issue and I eventually got the OP method to work.... I think that I ran a factory reset and then tried the method again. Since I have successfully upgraded and maintained root I have ran multiple factory resets through Android recovery and I still have my root access. If that doesn't work I would just go through the steps again. There is just a minor issue because mine was fixed with minimal tinkering.
