unroot

I did notice the superuser unroot but will it erase all traces of the root? my co worker said that some unroot methods will still leave the "root binary". I need to exchange this phone so i want to make sure all traces of root activity are gone

It was mentioned to me in a separate thread to use the MF3 .tar file with Odin...they said this will remove all root etc.

I had another thread for this, but I figured it would be good to repost it since I didn't know what I had stumbled upon at first.

For all of those who have soft bricked their phones, I present to you to the MF3 TAR files to flash it back to stock via ODIN.

And for those that aren't sure as to where to put the files when flashing via ODIN, while it should be obvious, I have attached a picture that [MENTION=5443584]xrandallx[/MENTION] posted to help those that need it.

Will Wifi drain my battery even when in sleep mode ?

I charged my phone last night as I always do right up to 100%. Left it in sleep mode and went to bed.

Received a call this morning and when the phone switched on noticed my battery was on 26% and it was trying to connect to wifi.

Is wifi similar to bluetooth in that I believe bluetooth will still be active and receiving in sleep mode and will so drain the battery ? I could have sworn I have left wifi on before in sleep mode and it didnt drain the battery, but maybe I am wrong.

So will wifi in sleep drain my battery to that extent ie from 100% to 26% from about 10.30 last night to 10am this morning ?

The wierd thing is I was playing with it all day yesterday and the battery only got to 39% or something.

Is something wrong ? :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
yes, leaving your wifi on will cause battery drain. If there's any traffic, this gets worse :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
Also activesync may have been running and trying to connect every 10 minutes or so. The activesync problem has been mentioned in another thread.

Just hope its just battery drain and not a fault.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kilrah:
Yes, I second the observation... 2 hours powered off drains 40% battery power... :(

That sucks, the blueangel didn't do that. It automatically turned wireless off on shutdown and turned it on again on wakeup.

Now I'll have to get used to doing that manually... :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
If you still have the BA, or if somebody else could check, look for this key in the registry:

HKLM\System\CurrentontrolSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend

There will be various values there. Default = 3, means state D3, which is the suspend state.

If there are any other values there, please note the value name, and the value of it.

If there aren't, check whether there are any subkeys.

For example, the Qtek 9100 has subkey {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-ADE5367E5006} which, if you look under HKLM\System\CurrentontrolSet\Control\Power\State\Interfaces\, you'll see is "Power-manageable NDIS miniports". Its default value is 4 for state D4, which is the -off- state.

Basically, I suspect, or rather expect, that the BA will have another value or subkey there which will refer to the wireless connection, and set its state to 4 as well. If that's not the case, then it's being handled more directly by whatever power manager adjustments they have made - rather than letting Windows CE's power management handle it as above.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
The daft thing is when you switch your device back on, you arnt connected to the wireless network and it has to find a signal again. So its like its keeping the wifi switched on but for no reason whatsoever !

What would be cool is if on putting the device into sleep mode it would automatically put the wifi into low power mode so you could leave it on without it whacking your battery and you could possibly receive msn alerts.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kilrah:
That was sort of what the BA did.. :?

I still have it but with a broken screen :(

So unfortunately can't check, maybe someone else?

I think I've found the way to deactivate wifi again when the manager doesn't want to. Tap on the OS's connectivity icon at the top of the screen. It may say Enable wifi or disable wifi. If it says activate, tap once to activate and once again to deactivate. If it says deactivate just tap once. Then go into the wireless manager again, it should now be off. Works for mine at least ;)

hey i bought a new note 3 n9005 but when i took it him and played with it a bit i noticed it has Super user installed....that means my phone is rooted already?so my phone was used???and also i didn't get original charger should i return it back to shop and ask why my device is already rooted?

looks like you got a used device! from where are you?

in germany and austria we are "allowed by law" to return devices bought online for the next 7 (austria) to 10 (germany) working days without any reason! especially small shops then have to sell the devices again, of course...

i personally wouldn't accept this, go back to your shop and ask for a brand new phone!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
Yeah it is not supposed to have SuperSU installed in factory condition. You bought a phone that has been used / tampered with.

I would go back to the store, demand a new device and a discount and then I would buy my wife something nice with the money I saved. If you don't have a wife or girlfriend, you can just buy yourself something.

Did you go to download mode and check to see if warranty void is 0x1?

Either way, this is not a new device but a returned or refurbished device.... I'd want a new one....

Considering supersu is a third party app this is HIGHLY unlikely....

Return it and demand a NEW Note 3 in a sealed box.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Some countries have the insane policy of accepting back a used device and selling it as new withing the first few days after purchase. We call it 'screwing over your customers and abusing their trust.'

This is the result.

Go back to the shop and demand a new one in a sealed box.

There's a reason Samsung put a sealed sticker over the opening of the box. If the box doesnt come with that sticker untouched, do not accept the device. (it's the 3 by 2cm one that says 'if seal is broken, blablabla').

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFaultx:
Hey guys.

There is a very good chance I will be getting a note 3 this week. Im a pretty avid android user, currently own a Galaxy Nexus, TF700, OUYA, Nook Color, 2x Moto Droids, and a few other android devices. Im fairly familiar with android, and love the OS. The biggest issue I have had is the lack of multitasking, and this is whey I am really excited for the note 3. I typically own an android devices for about 1 hour, and then have it rooted and unlocked. I know I have a tendancy to do this with all my devices, but I dont want to get to far ahead of myself.

So in short, what suggestions do you guys have? What ROMs seem to be running the best? Will I be missing out on the "stock" experience by throwing a ROM on it? Any really cool new features that I might not know? Please, tell me what I have to look forward to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johntuck77:
There are tons of features in my opinion that you can only get on a Galaxy Note device. I have decided to stick with touchwiz for the multiwindow app, the aircommand and the S-planner calendar as well as their weather widget. I use the stylus all the time and that is why I believe the note is so radical different than it's competition.

I also root the phone ASAP and stick with an "improved" touchwiz version since Samsung and Verizon really limit this great device from its full potential.

Here are some good youtube videos that you can watch that show you some of the awesome features that come with the phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe689kgpEIo&list=TL9zNYR2wzO26vkMz9lcyWADy75h4w5tXV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UW2XtJPQB4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJy8H7r8oh8

These videos pretty much give you all the features this phone has. With the new roms coming out you will get even more features.

Good luck and if you liked what I wrote hit the thanks button for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFaultx:
Now do the ROMs that are currently available still maintain touchwiz? I really want to keep the multiwindow and s-pen features, just not all the bloatware, and get some of the tweaks that roms offer
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johntuck77:
Yeah if the rom is touchwiz based you should keep all these great features. I only use touch wiz because I think what is the point of buying a phone with the stylus and if I then ROM it and turn it into an android phone like any other. But that is just my opinion.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pathtologos:
OK, so I was reading under the General thread about Omega ROM and was curious. OP said you had to flash the ROM, then some patch, then a T-Mo kernel. EVERY TIME I hit the link for that patch, I get taken to some page that has like 5 "download" links, ALL of which do anything and everything EXCEPT download the patch I need. The file size of the patch according to the site is 19 mb (I beleive) and one or two of the links on the page do in fact download something, but that something is only 500 kb or so. Can't be right. So I'm wondering, anyone know where to get this so-called patch? And secondly, anyone here successfully running Omega, or any other int'l rom, with zero bugs (I understand wifi calling may not work--that's fine)? If so, could you point me to a tutorial or thread that shows me how to do it?

thanks.

Download it again and check the MD5 of the file you downloaded. As a quick check, the file should be around 112MB.

Something is definitely wrong, as there are many people using Flashtool on Windows 8 without issues and it is definitely not a 16 bit application (32 and 64 bit executables are installed).

What's exactly the error? You lacking wifi? Are you using a custom kernel like DooMLord's?

For wifi to work on Doom's kernel you have to flash the kernel.zip from recovery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I also don't see any errors. Don't worry about wifi not working. You should only be running with the old kernel long enough to root, so it doesn't matter.

Root using DooMLoRD's script, flash your original kernel back and you're done.

I was in exactly the same situation as yourself. Windows 8 is a pain when it comes to driver signature. Try going to Settings/change PC settings/Update and recovery/recovery/Advanced startup/restart now.

Any help would be much appreciated as this is my only phone (I know I'm dumb for taking such a big risk).

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Status 7 means the asserts line in the updater script of the rom's flashable zip file is looking for a phone version other than the one contained in your phone's build.prop file. You can either edit the asserts line or delete the asserts line in the updater script, or you can edit the build.prop file on your phone to match what the asserts is looking for. But before you do any of these, make absolutely sure that the firmware you are flashing is for your phone, because if you flash firmware for another phone, you can make a brick, and that is what Status 7 is all about.

If you need to make edits, you should be able to find any number of tutorials by searching.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Why did you try and install Slim if you wanted 4.3? It isn't currently available for our device - did you flash the 9100 version by mistake? If so that's why you're getting Status 7. As creepy said, there are many guides to help you edit your way out of this issue.

One other, archaic method, would be to flash the old JB siyah kernel by ktoonez... then flash a new rom and kernel afterwards.

But editing build.prop is generally the best solution.
