[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banggugyangu:
This is wrong. Safestrap is a bootstrap recovery. It IS a "bootloader bypass" of sorts. Once everything is squared away, safestrap WILL allow flashing of non-stock ROMs and the execution of Kexec kernels. We will have access to almost everything available with an unlocked bootloader, except it will require room on our internal storage for the ROM files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
AFAIK, it will not allow kexec, as that is a different exploit. Also, it cannot modify aboot. So you will not be able to install AOSP ROMs or anything but a modified stock kernel. Believe me, I would love to be wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banggugyangu:
Hashcode has implemented kexec into nearly every device's safestrap. Also, AOSP is still possible with the stock kernel. You simply have to incorporate certain parts of the stock ROM. I did all of this on the Droid Bionic. I had an AOSP ROM before safestrap was even created. It had a couple Blur elements that were very minor, but required.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidguy22:
Do we loose safestrap if we take OTA upgrade to Kitkat (when it's available)?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnube:
I was thinking of the S4 that doesn't have kexec and cannot flash AOSP. It is reasonable to assume that the N3 could get kexec even although the S4 doesn't have it.

SS is not bootloader bypass. Many benefits of an unlocked bootloader will not be realized with SS. However, it should be a decent option for at least getting some ROMs. With kexec, then most people will be happy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banggugyangu:
There is a huge difference when Hashcode has the phone in question. It's my understanding that this is the first Samsung phone he has had.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
So he's stated that he plans to add kexec? That would be bad@$$.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] StoffelXYZ:
Hi,

I unlocked my MDA Vario with the tool which can be found on this forum.

At first everything seemed to be OK for one or two days. It accepted my "Base-simcard" and I could use the phone-function.

Since yesterday I frequently get a message which says there is no or a wrong or sim card inserted.

When I remove the sim card, replace it and start the Vario, everything works again.

Sometimes I just have to put the wizard off and on again and it's ok again.

This happened already a few times...

Does anyone know what causes this problem?

Is it possible that the unlocking tool doesn't do the job 100% right?

Or maybe T-Mobile inserted an extra check for non-T-Mobile sim cards in the ROM part?

Best regards,

Stoffel

Hello everyone...i'm not developer but new user to android. Got questions:

1. How to get rid of annoying volume warning in Note 3(i tried through...xposed or something called like that, but it's completely not working)

2. My modem is: N9005XXUBMJ2 i've got european, no contract, retail unit, what's modem doing? I saw there are updates on forums here like MJ6, what are benefits? Is it safe? Can i revert back to my current version, is it good to upgrade to higher number?

3. How to disable this white...thing because it's kinda annoying when i'm playing games(it's called flashbar in services)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMTN:
Model : Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 , 3G

1. The unit does not power on.

2. It shows no sign of charging, nothing has ever displayed on the screen since I've had it.

3. I cannot get it into download / odin mode or any mode.

4. I even purchased and installed a NEW battery and still nothing.. The only thing that that indicates it's ALIVE is that the LED light on the back panel flashes now that I've installed the new battery.

I've tried various command line on the PC to try to access and it always fails and it does not show up on ODIN.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, even to get it into recovery.

Thanks !!

Thanks fellas...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
AT&T uses the international radios, which are the same as the developer version as well. No difference. There is an update in the 3.62.401.1 firmware, however, which updates the radio from the current developer/international version. Just make sure to include your MID and CID in the android info.txt file of the zip before you flash it, otherwise you can't.

Edit: Here's a download of that firmware. All you have to do is edit the android-info.txt file in the zip to include your cidnum and your set. Enjoy!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Thanks man!

Can you expand on that? Sorry...fairly new to this..

I'm already running the Android Revolution 31 ROM...based on 3.62.401.1, so maybe I need to re-flash it with the updated txt file?

What would I change the MID and CID to? Is installing a firmware any different than a ROM? Like would I use TWRP or no?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
Install the Android SDK. Now, first, to avoid any confusion, rename your main adt-bundle-windows folder to just adt. Take the rest out. Next, navigate to the platform-tools folder inside the main folder of it. Put the firmware zip inside it. Now, go back out to the sdk folder. Shift and right click platform tools folder and open a command window. It should look like C:\whatever\thisis\foryou\adt\sdk\platform-tools>.

From there type: adb reboot-bootloader

You should now be at a white screen, which is your bootloader. Take note of the baseband version (should be 4a.20 etc.) as that's going to get updated in this flash.

from here, in the command window type fastboot oem rebootRUU just like that with RUU in caps and no space between reboot and RUU.

This will get you into RUU mode, where you can flash zips.

Now, type: fastboot flash zip C:\whatever\thisis\foryou\adt\sdk\platform-tools\firmware.zip exactly that. From here, it will start flashing the firmware. You will need to re-enter this exact command again one more time for it to finish. It might lag a for a second or two, but it will get through it.

After the second time, type: fastboot reboot-bootloader and you should be back at your bootloader. Take a look at the info at the top. Your baseband should be changed from 20 to 21 (if I remember correctly. But it is an upgrade from the stock radio.) You also have the latest HBOOT and firmware now, as well!

Reboot from there into android, and start testing the differences!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
thanks dude. I just noticed that my CID does not match any that are in the txt file. Do I just need to edit the file to add mine in there? mine is cidnum: BS_US001
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
No, if you downloaded the file I uploaded for you, all you need to do is flash it. It's already edited.

Edit: My bad. Yes, add your cidnum to the txt file. Sorry. Forgot that. BTW, use winrar and don't extract it, just edit it inside the zip and save it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
gotcha. Thank you sir. gonna try this now.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
When you edited the zip txt file, did you do it entirely inside the zip and then save it? Also, make sure that your cidnum is entered exactly like the others in the file. remember, use winrar and just double click the file to open it, and then click on the txt file, when it opens, edit it, then save it. After that, there should be a window asking if you want to update the archive. Click yes. Then try to flash it again. You may need to re-download the zip to get an untouched version of it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Yep.. that's exactly what I've done...tried everything you just listed.

Couple things I'm not quite sure of...does the bootloader need to locked and do I need S-ON or S-OFF...or does it not matter?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
You do in fact have to be S-OFF
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
I had made the assumption he was. I guess if you're not S-off, all bets are off for this until you are.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Thanks dude. I was hoping not to go through that long process. However I've read that you don't need S-Off if you just want to update the radio, which I guess is what I want to do. Any thoughts on that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
You can extract the radio img from the zip and flash that by itself. All you would do is replace zip with img in your commands.

fastboot flash img C:\whatever\sdk\platform-tools\radio.img would do it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Well crap. Doing that brings up the same invalid signature message too. I guess I do need S-OFF, but it appears I can't cuz I have hboot 1.55 and revone doesn't support that.

Thank you for all your help thought. I've learned alot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
Your bootloader should already be unlocked with a dev. edition, so all you need to do is achieve S-off, and then you'll have maximum control over what you can flash.This is the method you need to follow to achieve S-off. Let me know if I can be of any help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Thanks again...

I see here that it's possible to flash using TWRP? If that's true, do you still need S-OFF??

Post 349: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2342544&page=35
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
Yes, because the files your flashing are not signed, so they won't pass the integrity check, no matter how their flashed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooshnoo:
Hey man.. just an update... I went ahead and downloaded the radio file I referenced above, and was able to flash it using TWRP without having to switch to S-OFF. Alas.. I notice no difference in my DB reception. Oh well. A learning experience.

Thanks again for your help.

Ok guys this is my first post on here so sorry if it is in the wrong place

Well anyway today i went and installed CM 10 on my LG p705 wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/P700_Info but since there is only CM for the p700 i went and used that(because people said it should work fine) well anyway i had to edit the update script for it to accept my phone(after weeks of trying i realized i had to do that :P) well long story short it is now stuck on a boot loop on the CyanogenMod logo

Now what im asking is, is there a way to install CyanogenMod on my phone, i know i can go back to how i had the phone before but i want to use CyanogenMod on it. Since the only diff between the 705 and the 700 is that the 700 has NFC, im assuming the boot loop is because its trying to find the NFC module or something like that and it cant. So it there a way to edit it so I can have CyanogenMod running on my phone?

Thanks

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I remember when I got my Galaxy Nexus and kept it unprotected in my pocket, it developed some nasty scratches in the coating on the screen. It was very sensitive to even pocket lint. When I got a warranty replacement the first thing I did was take it directly to get a screen protector. On the other hand my Nexus One and HTC Panache never scratched after months bare in the pocket.

Any thoughts on whether the N5 screen is "safe" in a pocket unprotected?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littleguevara:
Curious about this also although there's certainly no way to tell. Its got Gorilla Glass 3 on if you care about a name.

I can say this, my Nexus 7 screen has taken a helluva beating, between dropping remote controls, PlayStation controllers and my HTC one (metal down), it doesn't have a scratch on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricpope:
The Nexus 5 has a Gorilla Glass 3 screen, while the Galaxy Nexus used some sort of "fortified glass" from an un-named manufacturer to perhaps save costs. I would expect the Nexus 5 to be a little more scratch-resistant as a result, but obviously that doesn't mean you can't or won't get scratches.

You have to decide for yourself whether or not a screen-protector is worth it. I have tended to go with one for the extra peace-of-mind, but it isn't without trade-offs, because I do find interacting with the touchscreen is nicer when it is stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimtyson:
Excellent response. +1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Gorilla glass 3 should definitely make for a pretty scratch resistant screen, but sand will still scratch it(hardness 7) . As well as diamond (hardness 10) . Anything with a hardness factor of 6 or higher I believe. All common metals won't scratch the screen at all so that's nothing to worry about. I don't use a screen protector on my One and it has only 2 tiny scratches you can only see when shining a bright light over the spot. If keeping the screen perfect is that important you should get a glass screen protector. Spigen's actually has a hardness factor of 7 or 8 I believe which is real impressive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Yeah, I was just shocked after the resilience of the N1 and Panache (MyTouch 4G) screens that something as simple as pocket lint could so terribly scar the GNex screen. So I would hope for better.

I do like that cool touch of glass on warm fingers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil402:
My HTC One X has "Corning Gorilla Glass 2" and got a big fat scratch.

My Phone will arrive on Monday and first thing to do is applying a screen protector
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
OK well it's not as blatant as on the GNex, but in the glare of bright direct light I can see very tiny surface scratches, presumably from little pocket lint abrasions.

In any case I just initiated a warranty swap for dead pixels. I have never heard of Google rejecting a warranty swap for minuscule wear-and-tear imperfections. So I will take my chances with the swap and bring the new one to my trusty local applicator to get a protector applied.

The buttons are ceramic, and a bit more weighty than the vinyl/rubber/plastic on other phones. I plan on a Diztronic case anyway, which softens the buttons/push action and quiets the rattles.

[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
Honestly I have the device and it makes such a tiny wobble and noise that we can call this device a success: if all you can pick out is that tiny nit pick from anything you can possibly find then you're just looking for problems.

Can you confirm that if you hold the power and volume buttons in place, then shake the phone, that the rattle goes away?

If it's still present then the rattle is most likely the camera module - my S3 has a similar rattle.

Upon further inspection yes my Nexus 5 power button does 'rattle' but its such a small niggle that I will ignore it, simply put if I tap (firmly!) the top right of the screen I can hear the rattle of the power button but thats it, no real backlight bleed nor any dead pixels battery seems pretty damn good and the earpiece is brilliant quality, need to check the mic mind.

My volume buttons are perfect.

The power button is slightly loose and does wobble. Only noticeable when going looking for it.

My display has one dead pixel. Out of 2 million pixels I am fine with it. The pixels are small enough to make it extremely hard to visualise even while knowing where it is.

Sound is good.

Camera is good.

Battery is good.

No lag.

for a $400 I expected worse and I am pleasantly surprised. I kind of feel like everyone is whinging unnecessarily as I have seen much worse on more expensive phones (iPhone 5, SGS IV, etc.)
[Nexus 5 General] chillaxnphilx:
Already?

So as many have already posted in this thread, there seems to be a dead pixel issue or something of that nature. All was good until I was about to install my screen protector and then I noticed that with the screen on I could not wipe away these 2 little specks. So like most, I wiped away with a q-tip and alcohol and voila!! the specks were still there.UGH!

So another test I did was I turned off the screen and basically looked at the glare on the glass. I could clearly see the 2 little specks. I'm assuming at this point that they aren't actually dead pixels but foreign particles trapped beneath the gorilla glass. I've already spoken to Google and hopefully i won't have to pay for return shipping cuz $10 was enough with the initial purchase.

Has anyone had good experience with the whole replacement process? How exactly does it work?
