So I have a question Doc, I know I posted about this in the CM11 unofficial thread as well, but I am running your Non-Knox, CiQ free version and I have CWM installed, and I'm perfectly rooted after I updated SuperSU from the Play Store, but when I try to CWM Flash a rom it throws an error about the ro.bootloader and it lists out all the older bootloaders. So what I guess I'm getting to is what would it take to use the new bootloaders with any of the ROMs?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
If you have updated to official 4.3 by any means then don't try to downgrade your boot loader and rom as it may brick device

If you have not taken official update then it depends what is your current boot loader and what rom you are trying to flash

So if you are sure that you haven't gone for official update then you flash dmd5 firmware then try to flash rom

Be sure before doing anything
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds like you may have updated via ota or Odin. If so the updater script needs updating to include latest fw.

Memory Problems after update

Hi everyone,

Last week after I updated to 4.3 via Kies for my rooted SIII, my phone internal memory got completely wiped and for some reason now went from 3-4 gigs free to about 1 gig free. The memory app says that most of it is misc files. How do I delete these/free up space? Also, my phone was rooted but had stock 4.1.1 but now isn't rooted anymore. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Look in /data/media.

You flashed the update. You need to reroot

Question

I have to send my phone back to Verizon. So, obviously, I need to undo all my tinkering. I've removed root access and safestrap recovery. Used Triangle away to clear the rest. But, when I go into odin mode I see the warranty sensor is tripped. Anyway I can fix that so I can send my phone back to Verizon? I attached a screenshot so you can see what I saw. Thanks in advance for your help.

Nope, im afraid not. There is no way, and there likely wont be a way in the future. Sorry.

Hi all,

After about a month of use, I realised my volume rocker has become a little shaky, to the extent where the rocker makes a small clicking sound when the rocker is moved up and down (through normal button presses). Would this affect its waterproofing abilities in any way? I've no idea what goes on beneath the surface of the phone...

Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tatersalad58:
Hello,

I am attempting to flash TWRP 2.6 onto my device, and many attempts have been unsuccessful. Many sources are stating to install the recovery using GooManager, but the service seems to be having issues as of lately, having HTTP 500 errors or downloads not starting.

Seeking the developer's website directly, they state to use either GooManager, or install it using the dd command. Following the instructions, using dd was also unsuccessful, causing my recovery partition to be in-operable, and having to restore to stock recovery.

Having no progress with GooManager after a few days, I attempted to flash ClockworkMod, using both ROM Manager and the Loki method. After installing via ROM manager, this did nothing to the recovery, and Loki stated that aboot does not match the device.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.

After hard-reseting every other day, I was wondering how can I backup my voicecommands?

Also anyone knws how to backup my MMS/GPRS/CSD settings? it is a pain to enter them over and over with my latest ROM tests..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dda:
CommandModel1.bin

Hello,

For voice tags backup this file: "CommandModel1.bin"

(I've not tested it yet, but I will ... in a few minutes, so I let you know)

Regards
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Priit:
After ROM update I synchronized my contacts and then restored CommandModel1.bin I had backed up before update. I had only 4 voice tags previously, after update two of them were correct but other two were assigned to wrong contacts (voice tag itself was ok).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] naughty:
I only assign voice commands on SIM contacts, probably it will work, but I need to try it. Maybe later sometime because I am tired of ROM tests.

10x!!!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dda:
Yes you are right! I tried it voice command are restored but are not mapped to the correct contacts.

a) There must be another file or a registry mapping key somewhere that maps the voice tags to the correct contacts!?

or

b) Or you have to also restore the (original) pim.vol (with which you created your voice tags) + the commandmodel1.bin together?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dda:
how to backup your voice tags! (fixed now)

Yes that's it!

You have to do a "synchronous" backup of these 2 files:

\pim.vol

\windows\CommandModel1.bin

I did a "hard reset" and restored both files ... and here we go "voice tags" are ok and are mapped correctly!

Here is how to restore correctly:

1) rename actual pim.vol to pim.old

2) copy backuped pim.vol file to \pim.vol

3) soft-reset

4) copy CommandModel1.bin to \windows (overwriting the actual CommandModel1.bin)

5) launch voice command to see your restored voice tags ;-))
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Priit:
Thanks, dda!

I will most definitely use this next time I update my rom

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dda:
I guess this is a starter :-)

See in the registry under:

Surface 2 Pro

Has someone tested these instructions on a Surface 2 Pro ? Working ?
[Android General] ToniSoft:
Unfortunatly, I have a Surface 1 Pro and encounter the following error:

FATAL: ASERTION FAILED bootable/iago/plugins/gummiboot.c:gummiboot_execute:154 'efibootmgr' encountered an error (status 100)

Gummiboot the EFI bootmgr does not install. Maybe it would be possible to install it manually.

Secure Boot is disabled, and I also tried different USB sticks and the original unmodifed Android-IA image. No success.
[Android General] ToniSoft:
Current progress: managed to boot into Android-IA using Refined, which itselfs loads Gummiboot.

However the overall stability of Android-IA on the Surface Pro is not good:

- Wifi most of the time does not work. Turning it on/off does not help. Neither does it help to disable power saving features. Maybe we could try a different driver

- Sometimes when the device is not used for about 2 minutes and goes black, it cannot be turned on again. I have to hold the power button to force a shutdown.
[Android General] mistaedster:
What do you mean by using Refined?
[Android General] zcrugby:
how do you get this installed? When i reach the instructions to press Y if to save dual boot my type keyboard does not work. How did you proceed? Thank you.
[Android General] Quixtrike:
zcrugby,

You need to use a USB hub, so that you can have you USB stick and USB keyboard attached simultaneously. This installation program does not recognize the Surface keyboard, but it does recognize a standard USB keyboard.

I, however am having a different problem. I get (almost) to the end of the whole process, after it says press enter to continue with the installation and does a bunch of stuff, but then give the following error:

FATAL: ASERTION FAILED bootable/iago/plugins/gummiboot.c:gummiboot_execute:154 'efibootmgr' encountered an error (status 100)

It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but no one seemed to shed any light on the subject. In other forums some have suggested that it was just an incompatible memory stick, but I have not tried multiple memory stick by different manufactures...

Others have suggested that you need to disable AHCI and instead run in IDE mode, but with the Surface Pro 2's woefully underwhelming BIOS, I haven't yet figured out how to disable AHCI. There's some that say that simply changing some registry keys will do the trick, but I haven't gotten that to work yet, and I don't have extremely high hope for it when I do.

Does anyone here have any thoughts about this error??? Anyone run into it who has successfully gotten it working after seeing this error? If so, how?

Thanks!
[Android General] Quixtrike:
please help: Fatal Asertion Failed... (status 100)

Does anyone have any light to shine on the follow error? Please?

FATAL: ASERTION FAILED bootable/iago/plugins/gummiboot.c:gummiboot_execute:154 'efibootmgr' encountered an error (status 100)

I've detailed some of the (failed) solutions I've found on other boards/threads regarding to how to get around this error on other devices, but none seem to be the trick for getting past this error on the surface. I'm really surprised that there don't seem to be more people trying to install Android on the MS Surface... or perhaps there are, but for most people things go more smoothly. Any help our there, please?

Thinking about returning the surface if I can't get android on it. I'm really interested in a powerful tablet that can dual boot windows/android.
[Android General] ozkaya:
When you get this error, it means that efibootmgr is unable to create the boot entry but all the files are in fact in boot partition. I also received this error, but since I also had Ubuntu (well, you kind of also need Ubuntu to access Android partitions easily anyway) I used the efibootmgr in Ubuntu to manually create Android entry. This way, I'm able to select advanced boot options under Windows (created desktop shortcut) and switch to Android really easily. You should leave the Windows as default so that you might never need a keyboard attached for boot menu. If you don't want to install Ubuntu just to solve this error, you *might* get away with a live Ubuntu CD, however I never tried that.
[Android General] Quixtrike:
Hi ozkaya, this sounds really promising, and I've even kind of gotten it installed, but it was going crazy (constant nonstop scrolling to select a boot mode as if I were holding down the arrow key; ended up being like Russian Roulette booting), so I decided to clean the slate and try again, the only problem is, I keep getting this error again... As a side note, I'm not overtly familiar with Ubuntu though I do have OSX successfully running on the Surface Pro 2, but I'm using a thumb drive to boot into it.

A few follow up questions:

-Are you saying that you use grub to boot into Android rather than gummiboot?

-Would you be willing to described "used the efibootmgr in Ubuntu to manually create Android entry" in more detail?

-How exactly to you select advanced boot options under Windows & create desktop shortcut?

*sorry if any of these questions are super basic. Back in the early XP days I was fairly savvy with dual/triple booting, but windows 8 and the Surface Pro's lackluster BIOS options are completely baffling me.
[Android General] ozkaya:
1- No I'm not using grub, in fact I also tried to daisy chain grub booting gummiboot booting Android and it doesn't work. I'm using native EFI entry.

2- I don't have it written up somewhere, I did it as I was reading and trying. But basically, you first need to install Ubuntu with dual boot with Windows. Have a look at the /boot partition, you will see the gummiboot files and config files there. Then research command line parameters for efimootmgr program and create the entry for the gummiboot file in /boot partition.

3- Just use google for this one, you can select advanced startup options somewhere from the settings in Windows 8 fancy menu. You can also create desktop shortcut for this. Once you completed Step 2, you will see Windows, Ubuntu and Android entries there. Since, Windows will be default, when you would like to switch to Android, you just double tap the shortcut and select Android. In Android you just power off and next restart will be Windows again. No keyboards, mouse etc needed. I also got the front cam and youtube playback working. Only bluetooth doesn't work.

[Q] Superuser wants to update, selected "Recovery Install", now screen is stuck

I am currently borrowing a friend's phone. I am currently not near any computers, and I won't be able to go home until next Monday.

Before all of this, I only know that Superuser wanted to upgrade. It suddenly shut off my phone, reboot, and then notified me of this. The notification popup recommended me to use Recovery Install foe HTC devices, which I did. And now, here I am.

My phone is stuck on the 4ext recovery v2.2.7 RC5 logo screen, the one with the red and blue sides of a circle, with a black zigzag line through the middle.

I am still able to tell the phone isn't completely stalled, as the battery charge percentage number can increase/decrease while charging it/draining it.

I don't know what to do right now. I can't turn off my phone via Power button, and can't control anything with the volume buttons.

Anyone knows what to do at this point? Thanks.
