Did you have to use files from past updates or is it still all 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Man I am :crying: tears of joy!!

So to be clear on this 4.3 rom -

1) Can use 3rd party bootloader - Yes

2) Can use any baseband/radio - ?

3) Can flash new baseband/radio after flashing rom - ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
And where do we download it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
1) Can use 3rd party bootloader - Yes (NO!)

2) Can use any baseband/radio - ? yes

3) Can flash new baseband/radio after flashing rom - ? yes

I just did the manual update to my wife's phone and mine and Ive noticed that I get blocked messages then the phone reboots.. is there anyway to get these to stop? She is really going to be mad when she finds out that I messed with here phone..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
why does status say enforcing? is it rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Huh. So the answer to #1 is actually No?

I inferred my answer of yes from CNexus' post:

Wouldn't that imply that we won't need to use the Knox bootloader to flash the rom? And can just use TWRP or CWM etc.?

And I guess question #4 would be, can we root it yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
currently, you are (most likely) on the md4 bootloader, it is NOT 3rd party and is official. no, dont use twrp,cwm, whatever you want and of course you can root it! we have recovery the most reliable way to root!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yes that was the point of me saying that lol...meaning that you get 4.3, without the Knox bootloader.

---

I'll clear this up right now because there seems to be a lot of confusion. [size=+1]You CAN root on 4.3. BUT, if you have the Knox bootloader, it will trip the Knox flag.[/size]

What this means for us is that if you flash my 4.3 ROM, you have NOTHING to worry about, because you WILL NOT have the Knox bootloader.

All the issues related to 4.3 (bricks, "not being able to root", etc) are a result of the Knox bootloader. So if you DO NOT HAVE the Knox bootloader, then there is absolutely nothing you should worry about when it comes to upgrading to TW 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
does this mean i can flash this rom on CWM recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Just to clarify a couple of things TWRP/CWM are RECOVERIES not bootloader. They are custom recoveries as opposed to the stock recovery. Again nothing to do with the Bootloader. While they interact they are not the same thing. Just a little FYI

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
It is rooted but selinux can easily be disabled. Sprint decided to enable it on stock kernel for some reason. Check screenshot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
you lost root. your block message is cause of knox. why would you take it when you seen progress was being made.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
After being on the road for a few days I'm back . I literally posted the link to the OTA and immediately stepped out the door for a 2 day work road trip. Anyway, hoping you will all excuse the basic question. (Knox has me a bit nervous. )

When I updated to 4.3 this morning, even though I thought I had backed up root I apparently didn't, so now I have a bone stock unrooted S3. What is the safest way to root? Is there a way to root without tripping Knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Not until we get a stock tar, then root can be injected directly into the MK3 full stock tar using the de-la-vega root method
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icelus1:
If we have already applied the OTA, will flashing your new ROM, will KNOX be removed, or are we stuck with it for time eternal? I'm so very, very confused.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
AHHHHH ok. I understand now :) Thanks for the clarification!! You all rock!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
This sucks. So my wife accepted and installed the ota on my phone last night while i was sleeping. So I'm screwed. I guess I'll root it and get myself outta warranty lol. But thanks for all your hard work on this.

Accidentally knoxed up lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Once you have Knox, you are Knox-ed for the forseeable future until a hack is found to downgrade the bootloader. Sorry.

This is why the number one rule of rooting is: NEVER take OTA's if you want to make sure everything is fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
That really sucks man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icelus1:
Argh. OK, well... as long as I can still root, I'm fine with the stock ROM. I will treat this experience as a lesson. :)

Thank you for your response and all the hard work you've put in.

It uses master key exploit (bug 9950697) and if Sony didn't fix it we can root .191 without flashing old kernel.

what would happen if I flash this on a c6602?
[Xperia Z General] lhun:
It likely wouldn't work, but it might. The baseband on the 6602 is very similar, but not exactly the same. If you used flashtool and SKIPPED baseband and kernel, it MIGHT work on the 6603 and 6602, but there is a risk of brick from what I understand. This phone is my daily and I haven't backed it up yet, but I might try it - with a locked bootloader you can't REALLY kill it, it's relatively safe (emergency recovery?) I have a 6603, and I've flashed 6606 baseband only in the past. The phone boots but once it initializes the radio, crashes. (likely because the kernel drivers for the radio are different then what baseband expects.)

This also may have been covered before and I would like to know if my above statement is true.
[Xperia Z General] fiody:
Can I just flash it in CWM like any other zip rom?
[Xperia Z General] GROGG88:
Nope. It's an FTF. You need to use Flashtool.

[Xperia Z General] nickcaper:
Hello.

Can anyone provide the newest update for the c6606 in a ftf?

It just rolled out recently and I do updates exclusively through flashtool.

Thank you
[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
If of you have experience with flash tool I will suggest skipping the TMo update and selecting a 4.4.2 kit kat ROM that will work for you.
[Xperia Z General] nickcaper:
I have experience with that. Can you pint me in the direction of a link with that rom ?

I am guessing it is flashable and fully functioning with flashtool?

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
Are you rooted? With the Z I have only had the opportunity to flash a ROM with TWRP then flash the kernel with flash tool.
[Xperia Z General] nickcaper:
I am rooted but I have found a way to do so in a rather abnormal way.

I use xz recovery app to get to twrp. I have rooted the phone using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33

This method I use works 100% all the time.

I have a locked bootloader so this routine I use seems to be the only method to work.

WHen I need, I use flashtool to restore everything to stock.

I think the newest update with ftf would be the next best step for be to acquire.

I dont like trying to flash kernels. Too much involved. This particular phone has posed a huge troublesome step by step method to get it where it is now.

To go and learn new methods would be a daunting task.
[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
With TWRP all you do is copy the ROM on to your phone, but to recovery and flash it. Then shut off the phone with trwp and connect to the computer and proceed with flash tool. It is another step but it is pretty simple. Many of the custom ROMs have good instructions on the first post.

As for a stock 4.3 ftf, you will have to search, I skipped that and went to a kit kat ROM. Many of the stock based custom ROMs have most of the kit kat issues fixed, my ROM does not.

I understand the hesitancy, my first Z hard bricked the first time I booted to TWRP but that phone was always funky and I think it had at least one detrimental hardware problem. Sony warrantied it no questions asked. Took about a week.

I am also on a TMo c6606 XZ.

Looks pretty solid for a decent price. Anything better out there?
[One (M7) Accessories] TriBeard:
I'd just be nervous about the brand. Never heard of it, and it does matter as far as how long the battery is going to last, both in terms of time before the thing doesn't take a charge/only holds a small fraction of what it used to, as well as how much of the rated capacity you are really getting. This one is name brand, and would be worth the extra 20 bucks, and has some extra capacity as well. It also charges off of micro USB, though they one you linked may as well, I just didn't see it on the main page.

[One (M7) Accessories] Phamwich:
I like Jackery batteries. They work just as well as any other portable battery out there, but they have the added bonus of just looking nice (all models come in orange, some also come in silver and black). Some of the larger capacity models also had an onboard LED flashlight function. The flashlight function isn't great (it's about as bright as a keychain flashlight), but it makes sense to add a flashlight function to something that is already a battery.

I have this one: http://amzn.com/B00AANMVNQ

It has a 5600mAh capacity (the One's battery is 2300mAh). It only has a single port, but the port can put out 2A if you need to charge larger devices.

Unfortunately, any discussion on modification of IMEI numbers is not allowed on XDA as it is illegal in most countries and XDA is based in the USA and would, potentially, be held liable for such activity.

How to restore the Stock ROM:

For Grand X Pro​

OK, today I'll be showing you how to restore the Grand X Pro back to Stock, just as it was before you flashed the custom ROM...

You will need:

A PC Running Windows 7 (ONLY WIN 7 WORKS FOR NOW)

The Grand X Pro

A USB Android Cable

My FlashTool

ZTE VCOM Preloader Drivers MT6577

So , first get the full flashtool from here: ApeelMe's Blogspot - ZTE Grand X Pro FlashTool

Also install the Preloader drivers if you didn't do so...

Plug in the Grand X Pro and then turn it off...

It should (on the PC) install some drivers and fail , don't worry...

Open flashtool and select the NandUtil file and the Scatter file (nandutil.bin and mt6577_scatter.txt , their names are like that)

In the menu where you can select ANDROID , RECOVERY , BOOT , MBR, DSP , Preloader , etc DON'T Touch anything as it will wipe that partition and you may hard-brick your device..

Click "Download" in flashtool, wait till the green circle...

After the green circle appears , close flashtool and disconnect the phone.

Now turn it on, good ol' stock ROM...

Hope this works for you as it did work for me...

Didn't have any problems followed these steps:

1. run Flash_tool.exe from desktopfolder (maybe try run as admin if a problem)

2. select File-open scatter loading file

3. select MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from restore to stock folder.

the ebr1 etc should be automatically filled in with file pathway

4.click download button

5. plug in switched off telephone (if drivers installed properly should just run)

6. wait until green circle appears. hey presto! switch on telephone.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
I'm reading through the threads and forums and maybe I'm just missing it... Is there a way to get S-Off/Unocked on the Tmobile One besides htcdev.com? My One is a warranty replacement, and also I just now received it back from having the camera repaired, so I really don't want to officially unlock it via htcdev for warranty purposes. On Verizon we had Rumrunner just before I switch to T-Mobile. Is there something similar? I see rumrunner for the int'l variant, but can't find if it'll work on T-Mobile. Again I apologize if it's right in front of my face or if I'm looking in the wrong places, but I've been looking for about an hour with no luck.

TIA!

Forgot to mention I'm also on stock 4.3, 3.24.531.3
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
Ok correct me if I'm wrong - I've read (haven't tried yet) the int'l rumrunner will get S-Off, but you have to be rooted first - i.e. have to unlock via htcdev anyway.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Behold_this:
You are correct the current T-Mobile build IS supported by rumrunner, and yes, you must be HTC dev unlocked first. Contrary to popular belief, however, this does not completely void your warranty with HTC.

Hardware issues (like your camera for example) will usually still be covered by HTC, but you can go directly through T-Mobile. Going through warranty with T-Mobile is very easy. When you go through them and the only downside is the replacement will be a refurbished phone, but sometimes they'll even send you the refurb before you send back the defective one. T-Mobile is really great with warranty replacement.

They honor a one-year device warranty, all you would need to do is set your bootloader back to "locked" (which you can do once you've gained soff) and place a warranty request with T-mobile directly.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
Thank you - that's exactly what I needed to know. And I forgot you can set it back to locked with S-Off - good to know!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pro-integrator:
Hi All,

I have a i-Mate PDA2K-EVDO with the following specs:

ROM:2.03.00 WWE

Radio: HA01_140

Ex ROM: 2.03.11 WWE

Currently with eXpansys FSE9 Car Kit (Includes integrated GPS reciever) URL"http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=124312", with ALK (Travroute) CoPilot Live 5 for PPC.

The issue that I am having is that when the phone is docked in the car-kit all call functions work fine (except for volume being a little low, but that may be spk position), however I cannot get the GPS software to communicate with the reciever. I am not sure whether the com-port that is used to communicate with the reciever is only being half-opened (or not remaining open).

I have tried modifying the selected COM settings and am currently using (COM 1, 4800) which appears to have some communication with the device. When the unit first is powered-up the GPS recieving light is on (steady) and when GPS location is established the light starts flashing. I have installed GPSInfo (for WM5) and am able to scan ports to establish COM1, 4800 as the connected port. When I then press the "Cold Start" button the GPS reciever resets, and then goes through the re-establishment phase, but no GPS data is being parsed.

To top things off, I did manage to get the CoPilot software to work for all about 5 mins. So I am thinking that this may be a port issue (or something with the reciever).

Can anyone provide some help with the following:

1 - A utility that can check com port activity, and see what is happening at this level.

2 - Some insight as to what other programs may use the same ports as COM1 - As I believe that it is serially emulated as a COM.

3 - Any other insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Not too sure if this'll help but with TomTom 5, you need to disable incoming beams on the Start\Settings\Connections\Beam to enable the Hard-Wired GPS to be read..

Try it and let us know the outcome..

Interesting Point

Hi Mike,

Thanks for joining in on this thread.

I have disabled beams on the device.

THe GPSInfo app loaded was WM5 although I only have WM2003 SE. I have searched through multiple ng's to find a 2K3SE version, but all seem to point to the new version.

This was also the file provided my the distributor of the car-kit & cradle. The GPS unit is integrated into the Car Kit, so that is what i refer to as hard-wired (opposed to GPS).

As for the applet, I do not have a GPS applet in the connections section :?:

Can you provide any more informationon this point.

Thanks again,

Paul.
