I actually finally got signed up, logged in and its about halfway downloaded:D:D:D:D

Once its done, its a simple zip extract and Odin flash then I can get right back on the horse but we need a developer to deodex and de-knox this latest firmware.

Edit...nope I guess Knox isn't even overridden by an Odin stock firmware flash

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T211 .....can I flash this ??
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] :
No, that is for the Sprint version which is T217, which I believe has different hardware, you will brick your device if you try, you need a T211 version.

Look here - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Enter in the search box SM-T211 and it'll bring up a list of available firmware.

Downgrade from Kit Kat to Jelly Bean on Tab 3

Hi Guys, new to forum and hopefully learning about rooting soon. Wanted to know if it this could be used to go back to stock version from Kit Kat? Surprisingly I did not find much from Google and Searching this forum. I'm sure I might not be using key words for good results.

I have a Sprint Tab 3

Model SM-T217s

Version 4.2.2

Kernel 3.4.0

Reason for wanting to go back to stock is I want the Google Play, Maps and Navigation back how they were when I bought it. Hate what they did in Kit Kat and that's all I use it for since it's in my car.

Some feedback or links to more info would be greatly appreciated.

Cant get my wifi back or any data

Hey all I am having problems with getting wifi, bluetooth, 3g, 4g. I am on the d8 but downloaded the h9 { might have the exact numbers mixed up but you get the point} so I went back to the d8 and still no data at all wont even recognize my sim. I sure could use some help thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] oddie3500:
how do I do a system dump to get a bone stock firmware

I would loke to get a bone stock version of the m8 sprint firmware and post it and also so if I habe a problem I dont have to go back to sprint. If someone can help that would be muck appreciated thanks XDA
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I flashed a MH9 ROM not knowing that nobody was updating because of Knox. I downloaded and Odin flashed the B8 firmware but it didn't overwrite the Knox counter....its a real pain. I can't even Mount to adb.

I. ant get odin to even work on my tab now

Odin 3.09 and doesn't work on my tab. I couldn't even get recovery like TWRP or CW to work now lol. is there a workaround for the new in a stock firmware so I can root my tablet. I have triangle away, mobile odin, universal root from chain fire, SuperSU pro chainfire. I have bought chqin fire a few beers lol. I have just moved and have not had a chance to spend the time poking around looking for the answer. This has been a hell 1.5 weeks

Wifes grandpa passed and next day got rear ended in our car. The wreck ****ed up my back so I have been laid up or at the Doc's. So if I could get pointed in the right direction. Odin was working just fine before sprint touch my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Man, and after you ran Odiin and it still said pass you unplugged and immediately booted into stock recovery? I actually have to do the stock recovery step twice. Because the phone never boots before going to the stock recovery, as soon as it lights up it has the Andy deleting stuff then the phone starts to reboot automatically but I quickly press volume up and power and the 2nd time its Andy butactivate...dark blue font and you can do the factory reset, cache reset, try to add sodeload a ROM but it would have to have Samsung's signature so once you do the data format and factory reset and hit reboot.........after a bit you are at that first screen where it says it may take 4or 5 min to activate. So I say try the second stock factory reset in stock recovery,

The strange thing is when I got mine new it had the International boot and shutdown logo but the firmware posted does but that's 3 deleted qmg files away from fixed. I have all of the apps you mentioned plus a few others of Chainfire's, try that once more and if you don't get straightened out right after that I will get ahold of Qbking and a few devs but this Tablet almost seems to come with a virus that spreads through different areas of the data, partitions, etc but I have been testing for some great devs and themers for years now....so try it and get right back to me because I was thinking about dissecting my tablet but my setup is solid now and I got a BUNCH of battery styles and colors to choose from for ExBattery I hve allof these in white and then in blue or multi color however the white ones you can make whatever color you want. Dont give up yet....if it does juat have some leftover cache it will boot right up and I can tell you what scripts help and also certain Xposed modules together make your phone trip like ihad a mind of its own:eek:

Has anyone been successful in De-Knoxing the 4.4.2 update yet? Actually does anyone actually use this device anymore or is it only me?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] wvebert:
I use mine daily. A little less since I got my G3, but still use it. I would love to see the WiFi thing worked out so that we can more development on Goodness and Pac man.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] graffix31:
Still using it. Just stock rooted with a few xposed modules. Anxiously waiting for candykat
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Are the stock tars still available... Preferably the latest KitKat for the Sprint variant? Suddenly my pattern unlock stopped responding to all touch so I can't unlock the damn thing and I have it very up to date with the latest inverted apps and an all black and white theme. I don't know if I still have the necessary files to do it again!

Edit...I checked SamFirmware and the device isn't even listed anymore even though MUCH OLDER devices are. Does anyone have the last KitKat firmware so I can Odin or Kies flash it...hopefully Odin though. Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

Well, I did find the firmware on SamFirmware after all. Now I have to see if its even worth trying to resuscitate this thing...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Ah....I don't think the stock mms apk will work on CM as the apk needs the touchwiz framework in order to function.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakemiller40:
not sure what touchwiz is, but I'm guessing there is no workaround or way to get the stock mms apk to install on CM roms?

Thanks for your help Keith. Appreciate it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher. It is what gives Samsung phones their look and feel....the user framework of the device. Porting parts of that framework to non Samsung ROMs simply will not work.......

As an alternative, you could look for apps in the themes and apps section for an app which has been made to look like 'stock' but which functions on a non stock ROM......

Or....

You could go for a whole new ROM..... one of the 'hybrid' ones.....a stock based ROM but without the bloat and with aosp/aokp functionality. I've used two and am still using one of them....chamelion and aliance.....I'm not going to recommend either as that's against XDA rules, but both of them will let you download themes and tweaks that let you customize the look of the base ROM so that it can resemble (or not) the full stock package........

Try Airdroid.

With it you send files to your phone via WIFI. This will somehow bypass the writing protection of the phone.

I'm using it myself as I can't find any other way around, only this works ;)

:) :) :) :good: :good: :good:.You the King .I did as you said.The files copied fully over airdroid.The game is working fully.Realy appreciate it.Airdroid is awesome.One more thing, Is there a way to run games off the external sd card and not the device internal storage as the device internal storage is only 8gb on the samsung galaxy s4 mini

Use airdroid, or copy the files to your external sd card and then transfer it to your Android folder on the phone itself. I use ES File Explorer to do the job
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGamerUser:
From external sdcard copy to the internal sdcard
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khantastic:
another way is to copy the rar file and extract it on the device
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
FolderMount is your friend. Google it up.

The reason you cant copy large files into that folder is because 4.2 has new folder permissions on the Android folder. Getting through them is tricky. I usually just let the app make the folder and then let it download like 1%. Then use FolderMount to set up a mirror in external card and copy the obb file into external card. :good:

transfer big files to extsd

Transfer big files (such as fifa) to sd card via gl to sd ...make sure after transferring u must open the game through gltosd only !
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
I see people say that you should not use Android Studio as your only IDE. I have tried searching on Google to see if you can sign / publish via Android Studio but I'm having trouble finding the answer.

Is it possible to use only Android Studio to fully code and publish an app? What problems are there with Android Studio?
[Android Studio] ryan.dawkins:
Well for starters android studio isn't even 1.0 yet. It is heavily in beta and not exactly stable yet.

Eclipse is often recommended because it has a ton of documentation. Most tutorials will talk about eclipse.
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Right. But what are the actual issues with it? Just being in beta doesn't really say much. Gmail was in beta for almost a decade.
[Android Studio] medwe27:
I use Android Studio since it's been released. For simple app development, what i use for, it's good enough. You can build signed APK's. However there are always some bugs, but stackowerflow always knows the solution. I had some problems when importing from eclipse, i recommend to open a new project and copy the sourcefiles for full compatibility. I think Android Studio is better than eclipse!
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Thank you. What kind of bugs were there? I'm interested to know the limitations.

Good recommendation. I'll start a fresh project and copy in my java files.
[Android Studio] SimplicityApks:
So far I've used Eclipse, but for my next project I'm going to try Android Studio as well, mainly because of its much easier gradle built system so that you can create multiple versions easily. I feel that gradle, the only major difference between the two IDEs, is a bit complicated to get started but can give great results once fully understood...
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
I haven't heard of gradle. I just Googled it and saw that it is automated deployment builds for your app. Hmm, it certainly does sound confusing.
[Android Studio] WittyPotato:
Don't know how much of regular-Java (not android) development You do - but for me personally the best IDE is the JetBrains IntelliJ (no - I'm not their employee ;)) - the base for Android Studio. If You look at the basic level both Eclipse / IntelliJ have pretty much the same functions - however the latter one does lots of stuff more intelligently (I'm in love with refactoring shortcuts :) ). I would also expect that Android Studio will be a bit more stable than Eclipse (I used to overkill it with too many plugins).
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Interesting. I'll have to check that out. I wonder why IntelliJ isn't used more for Android Development.
[Android Studio] Bassbase:
Hi Paul,

AndroidStudio is built using IntelliJ. I'm very new to android development (started out a month ago after almost 2 years on the xda forums decided it was time to embark!) I've been using it from the start, i have eclipse to make sure its android studio that causes any bugs instead of my code. However seasoned developers obviously don't need this back-up plan!

Hope this helps.
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
You are using Android Studio or IntelliJ? So far what bugs have you encountered that were caused by the IDE and not your code?
[Android Studio] Syncd:
I've been using Android Studio as my exclusive IDE and i love it. Way better than Eclipse in my opinion.

It's a beta, but i haven't found any dealbreaker yet. Some errors have appeared (non intrusively, just a popup on the top right), but they haven't affected my workflow.

It is perfectly usable to code, compile (debug and release), sign the apks and use proguard if you want. You just need to come to grips with gradle, at least on a basic level (as i have). All the build process is managed via gradle, so Android Studio doesn't get in the way.
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Ahh, great to hear!
[Android Studio] Bassbase:
Using Android Studio.

Bug wise i've not encountered many, One rather annoying one for me was that it is irritatingly long-winded to change your minSDKversion in AS. its no just a simple case of changing the manifest file. The actualy app developers out there will know what your developing for already, me as a beginner did not and it took me the best part of an hour googling and trying things to get it to change from api7 to api14.

I'm currently still embarking on my own reading through tutorials etc and its slow going. My aim (In case anyone is interested) is to develop a stable DAW (digital audio workstation) for android. with the ability to add notes (similar to soundcloud) and cloud backup (via dropbox hopefully unless googleDrive is the more stable connection.. working on it!) So i've had no end of strangle cod bugs crop up. But from what i can see, all others have been through my bad coding / lack of knowledge!

I'll update you with any other quirks i find along the way!
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Good to know about changing the api version, thank you. I appreciate you sharing your experiences.
[Android Studio] ArvinBoggs:
I'm using Eclipse exclusively. I'll use Android Studio but the time it reaches version 1.1.
[Android Studio] Androguide.fr:
The main issue is no NDK support, the rest is now pretty much on-par with Eclipse feature-wise.

I've been using AS exclusively since about 2 weeks after the I/O and I really haven't looked back since. The refactoring options and code inspection is so much more thorough and well-though than on Eclipse, plus the UI (with the Darcula theme) is really a lot nicer to work with and enjoyable to use than the kinda of outdated look of Eclipse.

I only go back to Eclipse when I need to compile native code or projects which contain native code.

Once you get used to gradle it's really a pleasure, just give it some time.

EDIT: NDK support was recently added :)
[Android Studio] Paul22000:
Ah the NDK. I think that seals the deal. I don't use the NDK nor am I planning to so it seems there is really no reason for (most) people to use Eclipse.
[Android Studio] noxieieie:
does anyone know when version 1 will be released?
[Android Studio] Thomly:
Same, only using Android Studio.

It's great really, just takes a long time opening. But hey, it's not like Eclipse was such a performance beast.

Just make sure you get the latest builds (they release an update every week).
[Android Studio] mariosangiorgio:
I'm using Android Studio only. It sometimes has glitches, but overall I like it, especially for its integration with gradle.
[Android Studio] WilliamDecker:
Does anyone have any particular tutorials, books, etc they've been using to learn Android Studio? The googling I've done has revealed that basically avoid Android programming and learn more Java programming. I understand learning Java is a very important step to programming for Android, but has anyone here learned from the beginning with the intent of Android programming? If so what did you path look like along the way? How quickly did you transition from "I'm doing Java exclusively" to "I'm compiling for my mobile".

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum for this question. I downloaded Android Studio a while ago, and although I haven't programmed in Java for a significant amount of time (basically I'd have to spend some time back at the beginning getting reacquainted) there doesn't seem to be many resources centralized around Android Studio, but some believe it will be the IDE of choice soon enough. I figured I'd jump in in the beginning, but wonder if I'm getting ahead of myself :D
[Android Studio] fiaskow:

So far Eclipse still more stable.

[Android Studio] Krinsen:

[Android Studio] power-wafel:
Eclipse for now

I think the Android Studio must come up with eclipse-plugin integration of some kind, I see that many android developers don't want to leave eclipse because of that.
[Android Studio] Karriz:
I'm certainly willing to use Android Studio in the future, but for now, it has to wait and get more stable.
[Android Studio] lovejoy777:
i started app development about 3 months ago and have used AS to write, compile and publish an app. agreed most tutorials are for eclipse but AS is so similar it doesn't matter. the only bugs i have had is it locked up once or twice and i lost a little of my code after a forced reset. over all its very stable and usable
