OmniROM 4.4 nightlies for i777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] conket:
unlock sim

RenderBroken, I have i777 on 4.3, I used GalaxSimunlock app so I could switch to tmobil. Will I loose my unlock after flashing your new 4.4?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
No, flashing any 4.4 firmware won't lock your phone.

Instead of the ported cm11, use RenderBroken's own build.

Happy Flashing,

-Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
I would like to upgrade to 4.4 but every time I try to install the 4.4 cwm my phone enters a boot loop that goes from GSII screen to the cwm hat then back to GSII screen and so on. Are there any special instructions for installation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
The OP of whatever 4.4 firmware, is always the BEST place to start.

Read everything, don't deviate or take shortcuts, and make sure that your questions are answered BEFORE flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
I thought when I first downloaded it that there was instructions but when I went to find and read them I cant seem to find them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
There is Renderbroken's cm11 build, and there is OmniRom. Both have installation instructions clearly labeled in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Sorry. I was refering to the cwm upgrade to cwm 4.4. Thats where I'm getting stuck. The 4.4 upgrade to KitKat wont even install without the 4.4 cwm. I have philz cwm installed currently. Running Cooked rom. Cant seem to find the instructions to install the 4.4 cwm without hitting the bootloop.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Tried installing cm 10.2 nightly but no change in cwm. Will the cm 10.2 release change the cwm to 4.4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Bootloop? We don't need for it to boot into cm10.2, we just neet to reboot into the recovery of cm10.2, which should be 6.0.4.5. The bootloop is expected, if there was no formatting of /data in between firmware flashes.

=================================

The recovery on these phones is integrated into the kernel, and the easiest way to replace the recovery is to simply flash firmware with the desired kernel/cwm combination.

Another option is to use mobile odin to flash the boot.img from your choice of firmware, then reboot to recovery and flash that firmware package.

This mobile-Odin option completely bypasses any concern for whatever recovery you currently have.

Both Android 4.4 OPs indidcate that you need CWM 6.0.4.4+ (6.0.4.4 or later). the last time that I flashed a CM nightly it was at 6.0.4.5, which fits the bill. Carbon's last nightly for the i777 has 6.0.4.5 as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
You can go from jeboo to twrp without ever booting all the way into the ROM.

Consider this verification that the latest cm nightly has 6.0.4.5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
For some reason when I flash in rhe cm10.2 it doesnt rewrite the recovery like its suppose to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I always do a complete wipe data /factory reset. Then you clear the dalvik. Then the /system and /preload partitions. Then flash cm 10.2 latest nightly. Then reboot into recovery. There's your new recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Ok. Im so new to this that im not sure how to wipe the /system. The preload I think I can do with mr-cooks preload wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
if you're going to use one of mr cook's scripts, go ahead and use his complete rom wipe, which wipes both caches, /data, /preload, and /system. That's starting from a good base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Ive used that on multiple attempts and still no cwm rewrite.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

The Philz is persistent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
You are rebooting back into recovery after you're done right? It won't just magically change in front of you or anything. Just thought I'd ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Yes. And when I try and flash the 4.4 cwm I get caught in a bootloop that I have to use Odin to get out of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
You keep mentioning that you're flashing CWM and getting a bootloop. You can't flash CWM on these devices without flashing a kernel, so it isn't obvious what you're flashing, and therefore hard to know where this is going wrong.

Can you please decribe your process in detail?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Ok. 1: mr-cooks rom wipe zip. 2: tried installing cm 10.2/ reboot recovery/ no change/ tried just flashing cwm/ bootloop. mr-cook posted a kernel zip yesterday that should take care of my issue. Now because of all my failures with this one and my lack of access to a pc, I'm nervous about trying it again.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

mr-cooks rom wipe used before each attempt. Also tried doing manual wipes.

Sorry for double post. Bad wifi here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
yeah, I just caught up with your posts in the S959G thread. Is that the device that you're on? I thought that we were dealing with an I777 because of your tapatalk sig. Now I understand how you've been flashing CWM, and you mentioned that you were using ODIN to flash another recovery, but without a PC, you must be using MOBILE-ODIN, which makes much more sense.

So let's start this over, what kernel are you on right now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:
Sorry. Yes this is a s959g ST GSII. Running mr-cooks Cooked w/AJK no-swap w/ Philz Siyah cwm. If your not familiar with it, (just in case) it's android 4.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
...on second thought, with your lack of access to a PC, I'm hesitant to proceed without better confidence of this operation on an s959g (I don't own one). Without a PC, I may not be able to get you OUT of the furnace that I could easily walk you into.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

The ability to run AJK and philz is an s959g-thing, and I'd try the advice that mr.cook offered you in the s959g thread. This whole conversation would probably have been better served there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] woodsninja:

This tutorial on Czech works for me. Tnx!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!KEY:
I can confirm that this method works in the new 1.0.12 firmware also.

Here is how I did it.

1. Installed the RK3188 Generic ramdisk-only image CWM-based Recovery for Rockchip from Androtab.info See info in this post.

2. Downloaded the newest SuperSU zip and put it in internal storage

3. Booted into CWM by holding VOL+ and holding the power button for about 5-10sec, when release 4 linux penguins appeared.

4. Installed the supersu zip and rebooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolam:
Which method did you use for step 1? In my case, neither method works, for the following reasons:

Stock recovery: 'not a valid update' error.

Root shell: current firmware is not rooted, so this is not an option.

CWM-based recovery: current recovery is stock, so this is not an option.

adb sideload: 'not a valid update' error.

rkflashtool: can rewrite recovery partition, but install-recovery.sh restores stock recovery on reboot, and cannot be disabled since current firmware is not rooted.

Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!KEY:
Sorry for the late response, didnt notice the post.

I used RKAndroidTool and never had a problem with the recovery partition being rewritten.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukair1983:
Hi

Looking to achieve this:

1) No lockscreen on most situations

2) Secure lockscreen when I wish for it (and will enable it manually)

However, I do not want to go to settings and turn the secure lock screen on constantly, as it would be cumbersome. I want to do it in a nicer and cleaner way, namely a widget (well superb solution would be by a toggle button in notification panel, but I guess that's just a dream idea). So I would have a widget on a homescreen that would enable/disable this secure lock screen.

I was looking for some widgets that would set current lockscreen on/off, but after 4.1 or 4.2 it is (seems) impossible if we talk about galaxy s4. So instead I would set no lock screen (with stock settings), and then just enable/disable an external application that would mimick the secure lockscreen itself.

Do any of you know of any app, that has this abbility (most welcome is a widget, but if no app like that, it can as last resort be, a on/off toggle button upon launching the app).

1. Where to find task manager on our phone.

2. On setting...where to check for application to put a check on "USB Debugging" like the one when you use titanium and ask to make sure to go to setings...then application ...then check the usb debugging.

please advice...thank you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I always use Press and Hold on HOME and it will show what processes are active. You can slide off the ones you want to close.

You can use the Back key instead of the Home button and use its built-in Task Manager to close all running apps.

Not really much point on closing apps now days especially in this device.

Need to turn on Developer functions first.

Setup -> General Tab -> About Device

Tap on Build Number 8 times... then it is active.

Then you can go to Setup -> General Tab -> Developer Options and you will find the USB debugging options.

After a successful root I probably made mistake in editing "vold.fstab" (I want to change the sdcard1 for sdcard2) a tablet hangs when loading ( still spinning wheel and the system will not boot ) .

I download a recovery file by "nandroid" from some Czech Republic Android forum, put in on SD card but in CWM I'm still see that "restore not found". So I can not restore with this file.

Could someone help me?

Somebody said that update firmware can help, I have officialy firmware update in format img . PMP5101C_20131019_v1.0.8.img , but do the update through the program what official makes Prestigio requires the tablet is on (boot in system), which unfortunately is not possible .

Maybe it is possible to do it with RKAndroidTool, there can be tablet off (just turf off, push volume+ and connect cable) . But I dont know, what is the numbers in box " Address" for firmware update :(((

Alternatively, maybe somebody can create a update.zip file for me, that I can use in the CWM and make a update with this and overwrite the "vold.fstab" to the original.

If someone help , I also like to reward for PayPal.

Not sure if you managed to fix your problem.

I messed up my framework-res.apk trying to get usb tether enabled and my 5101C also did not boot.

I reflashed my rom to v.1.0.11 from the official website according the instructions provided and it was like new.

No need to start it up, you only need to get to flash mode by holding vol+ while pluging in the usb, then RKbatchtool will recognize your tablet.

[MENTION=4516481]happy2help[/MENTION]

Try updating your rom to v.1.0.11 and then flashing the CWM recovery. Then download the latest SuperSU zip from xda and install the zip, this worked for me.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
So we all like our protective cases... and I agree I think for the average person some type of tpu case or any case that provides some drop security is good. Your basically just looking to save the body of the phone... which i would think could be achieved pretty easily without getting the bigger bulky cases.. like UAG.. Otterbox etc.. if your working 20 feet up i'd say go for it.. otherwise.. why? wouldn't say a slim armor.. or just a slimmer designed case that has a better fit in your pocket do the deed just as well from a normal head to ground drop? I wouldn't think a slimmer case could achieve this easily (I'm not saying i'm right)...

Now for the part we all love.. the screen... so many people get cases.... practically everyone.. but most people tend to not guard the screen the way we should.. I personally believe this is where the money should be spent.. getting a good iloome glass protector or another alternative that will seriously protect the screen from a head drop to concrete etc... at least up your chances substantially from the screen being destroyed....

That is my amateur stance.... now this is why i start the thread.. because the UAG looks nice and very protective... but it adds (excessive?) bulk? couldn't a slim armor or another choice (place good slim protective case here please lol) and as far as my eye can see you can get the iloome flex for a great price.. which i think is a must.. not necessarily the brand but the protector.... so maybe someone can throw something in on a case to save from drops that is quality but slim... and hopefully this thread reminds someone to get a screen protector..... I'm just wondering if these cases are a bit of overkill considering the amount of bulk... and rather if a smaller footprint could basically acheive the same protection from. your normal 7 foot and down worst case scenario... thoughts? advice?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mikegrmn:
On my razrHD I used an Otterbox defender. So i've been looking around for something similar. But as the N3 already is a huge device to fit in your pocket, i wanted something more slim. The spigen neo wasn't available so I settled for the spigen bounce. I also added a screen protector film. Actually, if your phone drops, I doubt that any screen protector will help much. For me, the screen protector is more for little scratches you get when putting the device into your pocket, bag, or whatever else.

From my expirience, I really loved the silicone of my Otterbox. I could almost put my hand more than 45degrees without the phone slipping from my flat hand. I don't dare doing this with the spigen bounces TPU. Compared to the Otterbox, it's almost slippery.

But the Otterbox made the phone also even heavier than it was already. So i have plenty of reasons not to get a tough case. Instead I ordered a bamboo aluminum bumper. I love the looks,, I think it wont't add much weight and bulk and the back of the phone offers more grip than the spigens TPU and it's also replaceable which wasn't the case on my razr HD. Actually, the only one time I dropped my razr HD was when I was at home and had taken it out of its case to admire the slimness of the phone. Bummer. And I immediately had a scratch on one corner of the kevlar back.

So to sum it up, I plan on using a bumper because the sides of the phone cannot be replaced but the back of the N3 can. The screen won't make a difference with or without protector in my opinion, so I think it's more of a preference thing. I like the thought that I can just peel off the layer of plastic in case of minor scratches. The only last concern I have with my bumper is, that the "housing" of the camera seems to be aluminum which could get scratched because the phone will rest on the housings edge when laid down. The lens won't be affected because it will be angled to any flat surface, and I don't plan on laying my new toy on rough concrete or similar.

Wow. What a long post. But from reading the OP-post, I think it's all about sharing ones thoughts and experience so others can build on it. I hope you didn't mind reading all this.:o
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
Thanks but I think your getting screen protectors mixed up from the plastic junk ones two the glass ones that can save a screen... check out YouTube tests on tech 21 or iloome
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mikegrmn:
Possibly true, but there'll always be that one little sharp edge the screen drops on so that it gets shattered. And with a screen this big, the likelyhood it's falling "butterside down" is pretty high. Anyway, I'm ok with my screenprotector like it is and I try to be careful not to drop my phone :D

The most drops I heard of so far was with people who used pouches. The pouch protects as long as the phone is in, but it usually drops down when exerted from the pouch. So I think it may be the same with any other case. Like it was with my razr HD. i never dropped it while it was in the Otterbox. Just the only one time I wanted to use it without my Otterbox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I quite honestly don't ever see any hard materials landing on my screen, but I do like glass protectors due to the smooth texture and scratch resistance.

I currently use a slim armor and I wouldn't trust it as much as I would if I had an UAG on it even though the slim armor isn't actually that slim...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
Thanks. Probably go with the uag sadly.. it seems the best all around case though sadly has designer flaws
