[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspireo:
For many of you, my question may look either very familiar or just a piece of cake.

To me neither it is familiar nor easy...

What I have done so far:

Crashed on how to install Android SDK and enabled ADB.

Now my phone is on Recovery mode and ADB has detected it.

I tried the command adb pull, adb backup. Both didn't work as my phone is not rooted and stated "remote object doesn't exist"

What I am after:

Need nooby proof steps to root the phone using adb or any other possible way (which I could decifer)

Then use the command adb pull to get my contacts, possibly pictures.

Some are saying to re-flash. But I am not sure the side effects of re-flashing. I just don't want to lose my data.

To give a bit of background: phone went on soft-bricked in Samsung Service Centre while I was looking for point to charge it as battery was zero charge. Accidently the staff connected my phone to a machine that does software upgrades and disconnected from it.

I am a super noob about the jargon of Android, how things work internally etc. I was just a person who used the phone for messaging, watching lectures, storing music, photos and browing. No games, not much apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mewikime:
My phone is unlocked and using a MetroPCS sim card, so I couldn't get the OTA update, even on Wifi. After following the instructions at [Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update, I no longer have data connection on the phone unless I use wifi.

From what I've read, this usually happens because a modem wasn't flashed, but I assumed that the 4.3 update in that thread had a modem. Even so, I entered stock recovery and flashed the modem from the hidden part of Loserskater's post here. But I still have no data.

Does anyone have any ideas what went wrong or what I can do next? I don't mind rooting if that's what I have to do (I plan on it anyway, but didn't know if I should work on getting data first).

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
it could be that, you mixed a leaked modem with a different build thus messing with the final official build or update that ATT released last week

wipe everything if thats possible then download the 4.3 firmware from this link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680243 and since you are on stock just download it using odin (use this link if you have no idea of how to use odin) http://droidow.com/galaxy-s3-i747-update-with-ucuemj2-android-4-3-leaked/ but on the PDA part use the file you download from the link above (update43.zip) and that will fix your problems

this may or may not work, i have not tested as i have not updated to 4.3 am waiting for devs to update their roms to 4.3 and then i can go with 4.3/rooting

follow instructions carefully since 4.3 for the S3 is like a virus, this update just leads to HARD BRICKS but dont worry just do everything right and things will be fine

hope you have i747 = ATT not i747m = CANADIANS variants
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mewikime:
After hunting through all the settings options, I found that I had nothing in the Access Point Names menu under Mobile Networks. I think because I updated with a Metro-PCS sim card in the phone, rather than an ATT one, for whatever reason I didn't get any APN settings.

So after hunting down T-Mobile's and writing them in, I now have Data. Phew!

Does anyone know the best place/price to get an unlocked version of the Moto G with Dual SIM capabilities? And do you know if there is anything else that is different about this model besides the dual SIM capabilities?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enrique XDA:
Hi,

I already saw the Moto G dual SIM version XT1033 available in the most popular online retailers, it's around US$250 and as far as I know there are not major differences between the single and dual SIM version.

Regards.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I'm fairly certain the XT1033 has the same band support as the XT1032, not the XT1034.

AWS support is not, to my knowledge, available in dualsim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enrique XDA:
Hello,

I'm not completely sure about which frequencies the XT1033 handles for 3G. I only know that it works by using the HSDPA protocol. When you refers AWS, you mean Advanced Wireless Service? If yes, do you know if there's a difference between the protocols HSDPA and HSDPA+?

Anyone have stock kernel deodexed by chance? I want to flash Dark man inverted apps. Unfortunately for me every time I talk myself into ignoring Deodexed only the wifi won't work and must restore.. .thinking if I c an reflash kernel only problem is solved.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
i think what you need is a deodexed ROM. i've not heard of a kernel being deodexed.

there's a tutorial here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2374008

it seems easy enough but i'd suspect it's time consuming and you'd still risk a soft brick (hopefully not a hard brick, lol).

maybe a ROM may make it's way soon and you won't have to worry. i didn't get much time to look over the apk's to see if anything is obviously killing the wifi but i'd suspect the market one is killing it since it's got a bunch of stuff in the script i'd have google to see what it means, lol. i've got verry verrrry basic knowledge, but i learn pretty fast. i just forget a lot of the stuff if i don't use it often (as does most people).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jvlonardo:
I have a rooted Nexus 7 (2013) 16gb Wifi tablet, i rooted it using the Nexus root toolkit program, and it successfully runs root-only applications. However, since rooting it, i can't seem to find my tablet in Windows File Explorer so i can add/remove files from my PC to the tablet (such as movies). Device manager recognizes it as Android Device and "Android ADB Interface", as well as charges it while connected. I just can't find it like i used to in file explorer. My PC recognizes iPods and basic phones without problems so i believe its something to do with the tablet's settings or device drivers... I've tried different driver options with my rooted device and they all test as correctly installed, but no luck with file explorer. :confused: Help would be most graciously appreciated, thank you.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] t2107:
Adapted from this thread by member X-Stranger.

Heres a step by step guide of how I'm reading X-Stranger's post about Arch Linux on Galaxy Note 10.1, and translating it into Debian Wheezy on Galaxy note 8 (SGN8).

Version: Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5120 Android 4.2.2

First, on the SGN8 install LinuxDeploy from the Play Store. On LinuxDeploy put these settings:

Distribution - Debian

Suit - Wheezy

Architecture - armhf

Installation path: /storage/emulated/0/linux.img

Image size: 3996 MB

Installation type: file

File system: ext4

Username: root

Allow SSH server: yes

GUI: no

Custom mount points: yes. add a mount point so you can get your final recovery.img from the Debian virtual environment to the android file system so you can use 'dd' to write it on the partition mmcblk0p10 (/recovery partition on the Note 8).

Then press Install. It will download and install Debian Wheezy to the linux.img file specified above.

Then!

Put the tablet away and move to your PC. Install VirtualBox and Debian Linux Unstable (Codename sid). Installing sid because it has the emdebian ARM HF toolchain. Stable debian (Wheezy) only has the ARM EL toolchain which maybe is not OK (?).

apt-get install git build-essential libncurses5-dev

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add: deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main

ctrl + x - save

apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring

apt-get update

apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabihf

apt-get install g++-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabihf

[ see http://linux-sunxi.org/Toolchain and http://emdebian.org/crosstools.html for more into about cross-tools ]

apt-get install debootstrap u-boot-tools

Download GT-N5120_JB_OpenSource_Update1.zip from http://opensource.samsung.com [ you need a GUI/Web browser unless because no direct access with wget ]. Just search "GT-N".

unzip the zip file then,

cd /opt

mkdir linux

tar -xzvf Kernel.tar.gz (Kernel.tar.gz was in the zip)

to be continued... please comment on progress to far.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
I have a BlueAnt Endure headset connected to my XPZ. Randomly my phone will dial someone from my phone book. I have just realised that it is because I keep the headset in my pocket (when not in use) and if I accidentally lean on it and subsequently press the command button twice within a few seconds it will enable the 'Voice Dialer'. It will then interpret any noise or voice into random numbers or sometimes a phonebook name.

I have called BlueAnt and they tell me that I cannot disable the 'Voice Dialer' command within the unit.

Is there a way to disable this action on the phone? Is this a SONY or an Android thing?

Do I need to install a custom ROM to disable this function?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
If you are rooted then the best thing I can think of is to freeze the voice dialer app with titanium backup. (or remove it from /system/app)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
Unfortunately not rooted, As I understand it, rooting and ROM'ing would void my warranty?

I tried disabling it with Startup Manager and Starup Cleaner 2.0. Rebooted and still comes up.

What's the best thing to do if it is not rooted?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
There is truly no such thing as a warranty when it comes to software.

Think about it.

The software can almost always be put back to stock like nothing ever happened.

Even if you do manage to brick your phone beyond repair, (very unlikely but can happen) you would still be able to come up with some crap lie to get a replacement because it would be almost impossible to figure out have messed with it; you will have a backup of all of your data,(linux skills maybe required)

Go ahead and root only if you feel up to it.(warranty is for software only.)

Think about it.

(p.s. a little bit of advice: dont use any task killers or startup managers. I can provide you with solutions to these problems.)

A legitimate alternative is to use a program called autostarts.

It disables applications from autostarting based on their intents.

Android uses intents. Example: there is an intent for headphones plugged in.

So an application can sign its self up to use that intent.

So now when the headphones get plugged in the application can start up or play music etcetera.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
I have rooted, and ROMd my SGT7 several times and my SGS2 recently with neatROM (looking for a better one. Didn't like CM10.2)

I'll certainly give your points some thought. Very interested in the autostarts, so yes, I'd be greatful for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
I don't like cm either.

Rescan Media Root is also a good one for speed.(by disabling android native intents)

It can disable the media scanner on startup if you want a little speed boost.

(root only though)

Autostarts will cost money and should be used to stop apps from running on boot.(an alternative is xposed framework module "bootmanager" or something like that)

Titanium backup is what you should use to freeze the voice dialer.(<preferred method)
