[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spc_hicks09:
I'm really not sure what the deal is with people saying this installed apps on their phone and all this craziness. I literally just did this 5 minutes ago with vroot.

Installed vroot on my pc

plugged in phone

clicked "root"

exited program

verified root with "root checker"

Then proceeded with the steps to remove the foreign SU app with SuperSU. Worked like a charm. I also went through every single apk on my phone and there is not 1 app there, that wasn't there before I rooted. Except or course for the superuser app. No ill effects on the device whatsoever and I am now on 4.3 and completely rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Awesome write up! Having some issues might just have to live with Chinese SU cannot update binaries and cannot move the files to root of phone. Is freezing Knox an absolute must or can it be bypassed? Cannot freeze it because not using paid version of TB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TemporalShadows:
One thing to remember is that it doesn't need to add an app to infiltrate your system, it could replace an existing app/library with a malicious version. You'd pretty much need to md5 every file in your system folder to verify nothing is bugged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MasterBro10:
This doesn't trip Knox right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith843:
Its definately worth buying paid versions of apps like root explorer or TB, not only does it add better options to the app, but also supports the devs to keep developing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spc_hicks09:
So you're saying that this could have completely replaced my entire /system/app or /data/app directory with a "malicious" directory? I'm not saying it's not possible. But i'm also saying that you can have my tin foil hat while I enjoy my rooted 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:
Worked perfectly!! Though Like I saw some else say step 9 came up with directory not found or doesnt exist. Now what? can we use safe strap? what Things can I do now other than de-bloating my S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TemporalShadows:
First of all, it wouldn't bother bugging anything in /data/app because that goes away with a wipe. If they know root is available, obviously they'd put it in /system somewhere.

And no, nowhere did I say they replaced an entire folder. What I said is that it's completely feasible for vroot to replace a specific system app or library file with a compromised version that does things you might not like, such as sending personal info to a third party.

To be safe you'd want to compare the hashes of all system files with the hashes of known good files to be sure none have been modified.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Menardo:
Verizon sends your personal information to third parties anyways....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
OK have to edit. After upgrading to TB Pro it worked perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to write this up!

Hello all,

I am completely new to android world and just got my nexus 5 delivered. I have been using iPhone for last 3-4 years and also use a Mac.

Can anyone please tell me the easiest way to transfer all my music, pics, contacts, texts etc?

Most of my contacts are on gmail, so I am hoping that will auto sync when I sign in!?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cowbite:
Okay, I've poured over the posts in this forum backwards and forwards and I'm either missing something or I'm trying to do the impossible.

I have an i717 AT&T Galaxy Note 1, unlocked and am using it on T-Mobile with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.

I work at an area, geographically, that has 4g coverage. This has been confirmed by my co-workers that have notes 2 and 3 as well and sit right next to me with 4g active, as well as on the T-Mobile coverage map.

I have tried everything in this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547114 thread already.

All of the modems in that thread give me "unknown" for the band/modem or outright crash my phone when I pull up the dialer.

I installed a UCMB4 Modem that someone had good luck with but I still have no HSPA entries.

I've tried *#*#4636#*#* and tried selecting "hspa anything" but there isn't any hspa entries listed.

I *know* my knowledge on this is limited so I'm playing catch up on the concepts especially regarding the different bands and implementations across carriers.

So the question is: If I want 4g speeds or anything above "edge" speeds, what should I be shooting for in an area that supports 4g and LTE, on a Samsung i717? hspa? wcdma?

*One* time only during all of my tinkerings months ago, I saw a DC above the strength meter but never since.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

Was just on Amazon purchasing a ZL case for my phone and saw that they now have a external battey charger available. Right now i am using the Anker Wall Charger but might consider this as either a replacement or just an additional charger. I have two ZL batteries that i switch back and forth every now and then.

Anyone have thoughts or reviews on this ZL product?

How long does it take to charge a zerolemon batrery from zero to full. Does it charge at 1800 Ma or 1000Ma
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] batkinson001:
I have had the battery for a couple of weeks and now got the charger... I am trying it for the first time for charging the zero lemon battery from 10% as I would be up most of the night trying to get it to the recommended 2%... hopefully I haven't screwed up my battery....

Though with moderate to heavy usage I am getting roughly a day and a half out of this battery.

I hope this charger lives up to the manufacturer hype as it takes over 12 hours to charge this battery using the samsung plug and cable that came with my note 2...

I do hope this ends up being money well spent for the whole lot of the battery, charger, and case.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OMIGHTY1:
My a700 is soft-bricked, and after searching around (fastboot isn't able to flash anything, so my partitions are likely destroyed,) it looks like I can possibly fix it with APX or nVflash mode. Here's the thing: I'm not sure how to get into those modes. I've tried holding reset and power for APX mode, but nothing happens. As for nvflash, I'm clueless. Does anyone know anything that could help?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] oxide32:
I'm afraid your in the same situation as myself, mine is also bricked to apx mode. Nvflash is of no use to us a700 owners as Acer will not release the sbk (secure boot key) that we would need to create blob files etc. Also you will not see any visual indications of apx mode and you will only be aware of it when you are plugged into the PC via a USB cable as your PC will attempt to load apx drivers. I have tried all combinations of resetting and even opened the a700 and disconnected the battery but to no avail.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OMIGHTY1:
Ok, I at least figured out how to boot to APX mode, but now I need to find out if that's any use to me or not. I decided, in my sleepy 2AM stupor, to get creative with the button combinations. I held in BOTH volume buttons simultaneously, and it worked! Nothing came on on the tablet, but Windows saw it and said that it couldn't install an APX driver. Now... where to go from here, I wonder?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zalasar:
I have ME7 with Verizon. I've tried installing the Jelly Beans ROMs versions 6 and also 7 (properly per directions and to the letter):

On 6, the radio doesn't work: no WIFI, no connection to the cell networks. I can then flash the ME7 modem .bin and get the radio working, but only half of WIFI networks show up, even using third party apps. Some important networks don't show up, such as my work and when iPhones or droids share a Wifi hotspot, so that's a strong no-go.

On Jelly Beans 7, the Setup app crashes upon completion, and this causes the phone to reboot. It then stays stuck in a booting loop and never boots. If I format to factory settings, it boots, and goes back to the setup menu. If I leave the setup menu in the background and never complete it, everything works but I basically don't have a Home menu... the home button opens the setup app. If I close the setup app forcefully, the home button leads to a black screen. Also, the Menu and Back buttons don't work at all.

This thread has Jelly Beans 7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2307357

So, I'm back to the Verizon stock app. Anyone have ideas about getting Jelly Beans to work with these issues?

Thanks in advance.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
i make this thread for the less experienced people that want to make some easy little changes to the kernel or rom and wanna make them permanent. For example lets say i use ondemand governor , i set the up_threshold at 65 so i dont lag but after reboot my changes are reverting back.

Since we dont all know how to edit the kernel to put our values by default, there is an easy way.

We can go to etc/init.d and create a script there.

First line will always be: #!/system/bin/sh

if we want we can write what the script is about at the 2nd line. example: # Set my default values for ondemand governor.

And we write our script. Save it and its ready.

Example:

#!/system/bin/sh

# Set my default values for ondemand governor.

modprobe cpufreq_ondemand

for file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do echo ondemand > $file; done

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/powersave_bias

echo 3 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor

echo 120000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

echo 65 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold

Go ahead save it with whatever name u like using 90 infront of the name. 90ondemand

Reboot the phone and go check if that worked. :fingers-crossed: the idea is the same with whatever u wanna change and make it permanent.

This thing has been tested in cm 10.2. propably will work on any rom because android doesnt use a rc.local, instead it uses scripts inside init.d folder. I hope this info helps everyone who wanna do some settings permanent to their phone.

EDIT:

Please be careful what u write and always keep a backup of a script if u gonna change any default script that the phone already uses.

Its critical to be careful. If u mess with voltages for example to make ur battery live longer BE CAREFUL you might "burn" the phone. Do this way and make permanent changes ONLY if u know what u are doing , not to randomly test something.

I accidentally accepted a update that just came through on my 4.2 and surprising it successfully went through. My phone has lost its root and is showing 4.3 update available for my phone .

I rooted my phone using this method.

There is a root method available for the VRUEMA7 Build that does not require you to wipe your device or flash ROMs, but it does not have an unlocked boot loader (source & credit to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325)

STEP 1: Download all three files from the first step from the source above and install/extract as necessary.

STEP 2: Insert a microSD card (exFAT format REQUIRED) into your device and connect it to your computer as a media device.

STEP 3: Move the extracted files and folder from the Root Exploit package onto the root of your microSD card. Do not put them in ANY folder.

STEP 4: Open the Android Terminal Emulator App on your device and run the following commands hitting return after each line:

cd /mnt/extSdCard

./pwn

./script.sh

Then a ota update came through this morning and finished. I lost my root. Where do I go from here? I don't really care if I have 4.3 or not I just want root access back

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higadeb:
I've never used Windows 8, but I couldn't get my Nexus 5 to show up at all on Windows 7.

Here's what fixed it:

1) With the phone plugged in go to device manager (Run: devmgmt.msc)

2) At the top there will probably be something along the lines of "Android device", expand this and you'll get "Android Composite ADB interface" (or something similar, can't remember exactly)

3) Double click the ADB Device, go to driver & click uninstall, when a box pops up tick the box to delete drives & press ok

4) Unplug & plug back in the Nexus 5. The drivers should install again. Now if you go to device manager the Nexus 5 will appear under Portable Devices

5) Celebrate :D

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higadeb:
Yes, once you've got the drivers re-installed correctly you can do what you want.

I think this happens when Windows uses the drivers from your old android phone for the Nexus 5. i.e. It doesn't realise you've changed phone. (although I could be wrong)

I see that the Red HTC One is a 'Sprint Exclusive'. There are a number of "unlocked" Red HTC Ones on eBay - is it possible to activate them on Verizon's network?

Would I need to flash it with a Verizon ROM, and/or need an unlocked bootloader?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
Each HTC One has a unique ESN number. That ESN is loaded into the carriers data base of working units.

If you have a Sprint unit that is only going to work on Sprint. Verizon will no accept an ESN from an outside carrier.

What you could do is swap cases. Find a repair shop with qualified techs to put a Red Sprint case on a Verizon unit.

Those unlocked ones you see for sale are GSM unlocked. For CDMA to work the ESN still has to be registered on the carriers network.
