Hm, so if only few companies, why samsung install this sh.it into all phones?

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

This is false statement, if the HW is damaged by SW, you are still covered by statutory warranty required by EU law. EU simply require that all HW vendors have to produce HW which is unable to damage by SW. If some vendor is so stupid and produce HW which can by damaged by SW, it's problem of that vendor, not yours.
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Well in theory yes - but what about overclocking/undervolting etc? That is done trough software and could damage the phone?
[Galaxy Note II General] jura55:
Undervolting cannot damage HW...overclocking can, but every chip should have in-build thermal protection....and should also have internal table of allowed frequencies (and voltage)...so I can set in my SW 2THz, but processor should simply ignore this setting...if vendor is so stupid and do not implement these simple protections into HW, it's a vendor fault....
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Since the thread name is "should I update or not" - I thought better to post here than open new thread. The question is the same, only the original poster is concerned with Knox - I am concerned with other things.

I have decided that official ROM is not the way to go, because of Knox. After all, I have more than a year warranty, and some say knox bit is irreversible, so why take chances. Not that I care about Knox. Anyways, I read on 4.3 ROMs and 2 most likely candidates are Dr. Ketan's and DN ROMs. Now, this is NOT a "best ROM" question. I just need to know if any of these 2, or let's add another one - Stock pre-rooted Knox removed 4.3, are any good for daily use?

I ask because several people write in Dr.Ketan's ROM thread that they have problems. Several bugs, all the time. Some are fixed, but new ones appear. OK, I could live with those, if the ROM is really good as some people say it is. But random reboots???? C'mon! That is simply unacceptable. How can anyone say "wow, I love this ROM, it is great bla bla bla, btw, I had "only" 2 random reboots in 3 days...". Really? Is there anyone who DIDN'T have random reboots (or system crashes) al all (for longer periods, let's say weeks)? I don't care about small app bugs, i.e. not being able to export S-Note to PDF, or such. If there are a few, I can live with that. But random reboots? No way. Also, someone said that "after a few days, system settled and had no more random reboots". System settled? Guys, we're talking COMPUTERS here. Not some biological processes that need to "settle". A well designed system doesn't need to settle and reboot 10 times for it to be stable. I can't use such a ROM.

So, back to question. I am prepared to erase everything and re-install, but NOT if it won't work without random reboots. It is simply too much work for all my apps and settings and customizations. Can anyone confirm that any of the new 4.3 ROMs is actualy working without reboots?

Thanx,

Random reboots and other issues

I have tried many roms (without any bigger problems) and come to the conclusion, that

1. older (in time of development) roms work better and most stable.

2. many users are too impatient during installation and make faults

therefor: If you install carefully, there won't be bootloops, crashes, FCs aso.

For Newbies: Please don't try Version 1 Roms ;)

besides: Don't wait for further updates from Samsung, take what you get from here:

better, faster and customizable, it's like heaven for your device :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
Lol. Yeah, I always find it funny when people say "I've gone 24h without a random reboot". This sort of thing was common in the Asus Transformer, where a firmware update by Asus caused most users to get RR's and they never fixed it.

With 4.1.2 on my note 2, it's solid as a rock. I can easily go months without a random reboot (I manually reboot for things like xposed or when a beta app calls for it), but with 4.3 (stock, knox-free and Dr. Ketan's) would cause a random reboot every hour or two. I simply can't justify that.

I have no problem waiting a few months for things to settle, but the random reboots are a deal beaker. It's like owning a Ferrari that stalls at each stoplight - I don't want it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Deshabilitado:
try the official rom from Samsung WITHOUT any toch (that means with knox bootloader)I'm using the Hong Kong version and I no longer had any problems it's so smooth and the battery life it's the same as always.:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Glad somebody understands what I'm talking about :)
[Galaxy Note II General] stonedead:
Flash 4.3 MK3 hongkong through mobile odin, then flash wifi fix by dr ketan with odin pc.

After that flash custom recovery again with odin pc. Then root your phone by installing multi tool advance by dr ketan through custom recovery.

I found that MK3 hongkong is the most stable of all 4.3 rom. No random reboot, low ram usage..it's fast and smooth. Great battery life too..

Did you perform factory reset after you updated? Mine was slow and prone to errors before I factory reset and now it works without any problems.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
Factory reset, many wipes, reflashed, cleared caches, etc. It just didn't work for me. I was getting random reboots within minutes of logging into a fresh install. It was ridiculous.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G8orDroid:
There are multiple threads in this and the general forum on this issue. If you have taken the MJ7 update, you cannot use RDLV. The only option is Kingo. Google it and definitely research it. Links to it are not allowed on XDA.

If you are still on MI9, you can use RDLV, but you'll have to find someone willing to share. I don't have it.

Quick question

I understand the part you said regarding if I've accepted the MJ7 OTA. However, still n00b (especially regarding the Note 3). Is there a way to go back to MI9? Does stock factory reset revert to MI9? Or is this a case of the old (as in DroidX): only flashing a SBF can officially restore the original MI9 - shipped, boxed - version firmware? Thanks in advance for any insight and guidance... Enjoy your day...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjh68:
With a locked boot loader you can't go backwards or downgrade firmware. So we can't flash back to MI9 :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Not possible to go back to MI9 once you have updated on Retail. You will just end up softbricking your device if you try to Odin.

Be careful, warranty's can be voided for second hand products. I know this is the case in the UK with other products, it is not automatically carried over to the new user. If you buy it from ebay its second hand. I suggest you get a definitive answer from Sony
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Ok I just read through the warranty information for you (assuming that you are in the UK or Europe).

I would still contact them to make sure, but the warranty is only valid if the phone was supplied by an authorised Sony dealer.

So even though you are able to sell the device, originally it should have come from an authorised dealer in your country.

If it's a grey product and it's from say Singapore you are gonna have a hard time getting your phone to a service centre in Singapore while you live in say Europe...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipidis:
Firstly, I must say that bought my i9000 with Mackay rom (4.1.2 then) on it, and that I was very satisfied with it. Since then, I've changed several roms on my SGS.

But, I've been using a new 4.0.1 Mackay KK rom, and still not completely satisfied with some missing options, so I wanted to go back to JB, but I came across some issues. I did exactly how the developer wrote, but no luck. I've been trying to install rom with twrp, but it fails. OK, the developer mentioned it could happen, so I tried to flash again, as said, but still no luck. After that, I tried to flash old kernel, the one for JB, but failed again. TWRP now won't flash anything. Just to mention, the phone isn't bricked. I can power it up, and it works fine.

How can i flash back to old kernel, so I could flash JB again? Or, there is some trick to flash back to JB with kernel 0.600?

Thank U in advance,

filipidis

EDIT: I succeeded in going back to JB. I was somehow able to flash cyancore kernel over TWRP. Then I flashed it again with Mackay kernel, and flashed JB 4.3.

Now, waiting for stable version of Mackay KK. :)

Agreed.. My old S2 started doing that.. It was the eMMC chip. You need to give more info about the phone itself, such as:..

How was the phone flashed?. If you used ODIN, was "USB Debugging" in "Developer Options" (active) Checked, also was "Re-Partition " in ODIN UN-checked, also did you use any 3rd party kernels or bootloaders or Radios,

Do you use a Case and screen protector, if not.. Have you dropped the phone, has it been cushed in your pocket.. or has it gotten Wet or condensation, maybe from excessive sweating or excersize.

Have you installed a Custom ROM.on it in the past but not read or followed the instructions properly, they are a minefeild if you dont follow the guides

Are you using a 3rd party Non Samsung Battery or a different Charger.

Has any hardware on the phone been replaced, such as the screen , camera or body part.. which may not have been put back properly.

Was the phone pre-owned, which case.. the previous owner couldve done anything to it..

Have you installed a faulty SD Card in the past or used an old SD from a Windows 7 or Windows 8 phone without formatiung it.

If the answer to these is No, Ide return it for a replacement or refund.

Good luck

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oltp:
Hi,

Backup is fairly simple:

- get ntrw.exe & romugrade.exe from the ftp

- get a SD-card > 64MB

- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!

- fully charge your magician

- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC

- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.

- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'

- start romupgrade on your pc

- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief

- now a screen pops up

- type d2s in this screen

- follow progress on pc & magician

- wait till checksum finishes

- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!

- put ntrw in C:\

- start a command window

- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:

- follow progress

- error at the end is normal

- finished

- reset your device & restore backup

- Playtime

The backup of your mmc/sd-card is the size of your card. Ntrw makes a raw copy of it. d2s has nothing to do with it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] love is me:
Here are easy steps to enable tethering/hotspot on your Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T I337.

When I was on 4.2.2 Xposed MODs that enable tethering worked fine. However, they don't work on 4.3, or at least that what I experienced.

***** You have to be ROOTED, otherwise, you will not be able to rename system files. ********

Here are very easy steps to follow. Works perfectly!

1. Go to Settings --> More --> Tab on Application Manager

2. Go to All tab (By scrolling Vertically)

3. Find AT&T Hot Spots and click it

4. When App info opens, click Turn off

Now AT&T Hotspot is turned off (The above steps just to ensure that AT&T hotspot is off

"If you don't find AT&T Hot Spots, then it means you dont have the app. That is good. Follow the below steps"

5. Use whatever app that allows you to rename system files such as ES Explorer or Script Manager ( Prefer Script Manager as ES doesn't give root permission on 4.3, until now)

6. Download the attached file and save to your phone. Know exactly where you saved it, so you can use it later on. ( I would have given credit to the person who ported the file, but i don't know to whom it belongs to. So, Thank you XXX!)

5. Browse to System/app and rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex . Rename them to any name that you want, or just change apk and odex to bak (This way, you can rename them back in case the steps did not work for you)

6. After you finish replacing the files, go to your folder where you saved the attached file and copy it to system/app

7. Reboot your phone.

As easy as that! Attached is a proof picture :)

Now go to your phone and enable Tethering. If a message popped up saying "There is a temporary network problem...", or any other error messages, such as call 611, don't worry, Tethering WILL BE ENABLED. Just click OK. within 5 seconds, you will see the lovely hotspot icon at the status bar :laugh:

Enjoy it :)

While this is a very safe and easy steps, however, as it goes with all MODs and system changes, i claim no responsibility if your phone is bricked or other apps started to act funny. ​

Good luck
