F.Y.I I am writing this post of behalf of my sister...

Whenever my sister tries to install Facebook on her Galaxy S III from the Play Store, this message appears:

Unknown error code during application install: "-24"

She had accidentally uninstall Facebook when she tried to clear the data. Now it won't install again! Please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Has she rebooted her phone yet? If not have her reboot then try again. If this doesn't work then have her wipe data for Play Store Only!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] refi64:
Yes, that was the first thing we did. Will clearing the data for the Play Store cause any trouble?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
It should not as long as you only do it for the play store only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] refi64:
Just tried that. FB still won't install...

Guess it's time to install CM!

Her phone isn't rooted!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Can she install other apps?

I didn't like the Facebook app, I use tinfoil for Facebook. You could always try another Facebook app.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombra84:
Hi Guys,

I am running the .62 official rom and looking for a bloat/crap free ROM to use with my Arc-S. It is a bootloader locked and cannot be unlocked so I need a working rom.

ICS is too slow for me. I can install CWM with x-parts so that works, I have installed some custom ICS roms from CWM backup zips and it works but I can't find any for the GB.

I am hoping for a very rustic base rom with no crap installed. I found a few like X-Gamer but they require the .42 official rom first and I cannot find any working link for it.

Hoping someone can help, I have done quite a bit of searching and really looking to put an end to this journey!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _kohjun_:
Hmm... It is not possible to run jellybean/kitkat without unlocked bootloader, so you have no choice but to use ics:p ICS has awesome batery life BTW.

Have you tried Xperia ultimate hd by jader? Its not bad. It has aroma installer, so u can unselect those crappy apps.

Press thanks if i help^^

Glad to help:highfive:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esarve:
Use Ultimate HD 5.0.1 :D its awesome

1. You're not allowed to create threads that ask for fastest ROM, or "speedy ROM" as you put it. Please change thread title or a mod will close your thread.

2. Since you're on locked bootloader, you have no choice but to stick with stock based custom ROM. UHD is one good example. However, if it doesn't suit you, you will have to find out for yourself. None of the users or the developers can help you here since you're the one using the phone.

Please read this thread for more information:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097137

ICS consumes more battery as a base ROM as compared to GB since it uses more resources and has more functions. Please do not give wrong information. The few ways to help ICS save battery are ROM tweaks, kernel tweaks and basic knowledge about maintaining your ROM to make it less power hungry.

If he prefers performance over functionality, GB will be a better choice for him.

Each ROM has it's pros and cons so you can't say for sure which ROM works best. Of course if you feel that it works fine, I have nothing to say since it's your phone.

But he doesnt have a unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Doesn't mean he cannot flash custom ROM. As long as the custom ROM is stock based and uses stock kernel he can flash it with no problems. He can easily use X-Parts to install recovery, flash any stock based custom ROM and use it. Locked bootloader does not allow unsigned kernel(a.k.a any custom kernel) to be flashed on the phone since only Sony can sign the kernels.

I am a current owner of an XDA IIs, and i understand these devices quite well, just a couple of q's for people if you dont mind;

I have just got a xda mini s;

Just wondering what tool should be used to update the ROMs?

Is there a decent unlocking tool (not locked to 02)?

What are the latest rom versions?

Radio

CE

Also is there a cradle planned for the wizard? I'm just so used to one with my IIS

Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] heliosfa:
For unlocking the wizard, search the forums for "lokiwiz", that will get you the Wiard unlocking tool.

As for roms, read about the forum for the wizard a bit, it should all be there (i'm a universal man myself you see)

Hello, I am using SM-N9005 32GB, Black.

First, I am sorry cause my English is not good.

I bought from internet shop this, when I ordered EU region product, but I just received XME(Malay).

I want to flash a ROM DBT(Germany) or other EU countries, but I am afraid to make any problem by flashing another CSC-based ROM. Can it make any problem(KNOX Warranty, Hard-brick or other problems...) by flashing another CSC-based ROM?

If it doesn't make problem, I will flash EU region ROM.

and, any requirements for change another-CSC based ROM(Rooting etc...)?

Please help me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
From what I have read (may not be 100% right!), changing CSC doesn't do anything to your phone eg, Trip KNOX etc, unless you flash a custom ROM, Root etc and does not brick. - As long as you are flashing Official Firmware of course.

You will get updates from a different region though, wait and see if someone more experienced posts just to be sure what I have said is 100% -
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sojeong Yoon:
Thanks for your answer.

Now I already flashed British Unlocked(BTU) ROM, but I cannot change my CSC code XEM(Malay) to BTU.

I will search articles to change my csc code.

Thank you.

[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Other users, what I did to confirm this was by pulling mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p7 for both versions and compared the results with a hex editor to determine these steps are valid for the K2_CL variant. Enjoy.

EDIT: Confirmed for ALL K2 variants
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
And yes, I used my device as a guinea pig so of course it works :P
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
What if we wish to put *tampered* back?

Lol

:p
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Hmmm, I would have to look at that as I did not consider that as an option. However, having 'tampered' being displayed leaves traces so why would you want to lol.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
Complete joke, very well done sir.

Awesome find!
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Yea, I knew it was ha! And thanks. Would like to see if this works for the other variants as well but I do not have what I need from them so either they will need to figure it out or become very brave with trying my steps lol.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
+sorry for the off topic+

but I decided to do a complete factory restore of my phone and accept an ota update to see if I could get to that clockworkmod like screen in stock recovery.

and it let me

first attempt it just installed the update without letting me into the clockworkmod like..........

so I simply deleted a system app accepted the next update, allowed to boot into recovery,

then once it got to the hated /!\ Red triangle, I just held volume+ then pressed power and it let me see the reason for the fail.

thought you would like to play with it
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Awesome! Thanks.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Maybe [MENTION=3142060]old.splatterhand[/MENTION] could look in to this with the K2_U and K2_UL variants :).

And possibly add this finding to his index *cough**cough* haha
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
alrighty, just got into it again, used an app called quick boot and booted into recovery, again it would not let me in to CWM-like until it showed red triangle then had to hold volume+ then power, tried to apply a different zip (crossbreeder)

aborted,

I'm gonna do some playing myself!

thanks again sir, very proud of your hard work!
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Yea, will be uploading pictures soon enough so people can see it on my phone. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get a pic where it shows *tampered* because I already removed it lol (but hey, if it isn't there that is evidence in itself). But I can atleast provide pics where it shows locked (not relocked) and unlocked with S-Off.

I got other projects I am looking into as well. Hopefully, they too will be just as satisfying as this.

it might conclude or theory before 4.2 gets here???

[HTC One SV] :
OP updated with info for files and need of help by other variant users outside of the K2_CL Variant.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
hey, just checking.... how did you find where other variants OneSV bootloader is located?
[HTC One SV] :
Will be the same as the K2_CL - My theory though. Should be anyways.. Only problem will be determining the layout when I compare. Is it the same? Or are there differences? If it is the same then all is well. If not the same then is the OP method possible or must it be approached differently? If approached differently then will the given files support it or must it be looked into deeper?

I just need those files so I can look. Shouldn't take me long honestly once I get them. Otherwise, they can try the method in OP and take a risk or someone for their variant with experience can look into it. I'm only trying to assist :)

Would be easier if I just had these devices in my possession haha.

[HTC One SV] DrBassman:
K2_CL on Boost mobile. I made a copy of the mmcblk0p7 partition & used hexdump to examine the byte that the dd command is changing... Turns out it was 0x02 before removing TAMPERED...
[HTC One SV] :
Much appreciated man. Thank you. I will be updating the OP once again in regards to the initial credits at the beginning. Thank you for providing this info.
[HTC One SV] :
Glad to see another person on here familiar with dd and hex.

I know there are more - but they are hiding lol.
[HTC One SV] DrBassman:
I was a software engineer for 12 years before I went back to school to become an optometrist. Been playing/working with FreeBSD and Linux since 1992...At one time, one had to hex edit the kernel so it would boot from the desired partition... This reminds me of that. :)
[HTC One SV] :
Very nice haha. Believe it or not, dd can still be used for such a thing with android. Its even possible to pull the kernel from the boot.img using dd. However, dd stands for data destroyer for a reason - one wrong move (like a typo) or lack of knowledge, could result in to some irreversible damage lol.

Like 'if' and 'of' - accidently flip them and you could wipe out a partition real quick.

I love dd though, its such a powerful command tool. Just have to be sure you know what you are doing.

I remove ***TAMPERED*** by revone.(It's for HTC NEW ONE but work!)

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-EOaW_xnteQYm1VSWFiZ016R00/edit?pli=1

My k2_U is S-OFF and unroot. HBOOT 2.21.0000

Reboot to TWRP recovery

adb device

adb push revone /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 755 revone

./revone -s 0 -t

then, reboot to bootloader and comfirm it:fingers-crossed:

./revone -s 0 -u (UNLOCKED)

./revone -s 0 -l (LOCKED)

./revone -s 0 -r (RELOCKED)

./revone -P (S-OFF) ----> I'm not sure, I S-OFF my device by rumrunner.
[HTC One SV] :
[MENTION=5097809]snailpon[/MENTION]

That is because revone is using the same method which I described in my tutorial. However, they have already put it all together so it does the work in the background.

The S-Off feature between the two programs also work out because the one and one sv partitions are in some ways very similiar - but not complete.

I already know revone works, but I don't do tutorials on that stuff, because then people won't actually know what is really happening to their devices. And say something were to go wrong, then how they can go about fixing it.

What my tutorial does is actually explain to the viewers how this process is actually done, regardless if one is using a program or doing it manually. This way if their program screws something up they have a general idea of where to look. Otherwise, they are screwed, because they decided to be lazy and not learn anything.

FYI, revone, doesn't make a backup of your partitions. I would recommend that you do it before you start playing around. :)

Nonethless, I applaud you for taking a risk on your device by using a program outside of our variants. Hypothetically speaking, had something gone wrong your phone would have been paperweight ;).
[HTC One SV] :
[MENTION=5097809]snailpon[/MENTION]

Also wanted to let you know why it is that you push the file to data/local/tmp.

That is because it is the only place where you can practically read and write on the device (which means an exploit). This is how they push mod hboots, boots, etc, to the device when going from S-On to S-Off. There are other requirements during its process, but that one spot in the phone has full access whether or not your device is locked, unlocked, relocked, tampered, not tampered, or even S-On ;)

If you are up for the challenge you should put together a tutorial regarding revone, the procedures, etc. This way you can let the community know about it. I already have this up so if anything goes wrong they can get the basis of what is happening.
[HTC One SV] snailpon:
You are totally right.

I do try and error. It's risky.:eek:

I'd like to be "know how" user.

Thanks for your tutorial:good:
[HTC One SV] :
[MENTION=5097809]snailpon[/MENTION]

No problem, I am a hands on type of guy. If I see something being done then my goal is to figure out how it is being done. I'm grateful for all the devs making this stuff possible but the one thing I cannot stand is when they leave people in the dark. It makes no sense to me because what is the first thing you read in their OP's? Try at your own risk! Then other users go ahead and try them without ANY IDEA of what could happen to their device and when errors start popping up what happens next? They go back to the OP and ask questions which most of the time will not get resolved because everyone is jumping through hoops on the matter. If guides or tutorials would actually be given to the public less bricks and less problems would arise because then other people with experience could compare such things for their particular devices to insure bricks or problems don't happen. If you go to the original thread for revone all you will see (for the most part) is people coming back for help because they are getting major error problems AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY lol. So instead of me making a tutorial on a program like revone or something similar to it, I just made a tutorial on how to do it yourself so not only will you know what you are doing but you will be guaranteed good results without the chance of jacking anything up and having to rely on that particular OP for answers. :)
[HTC One SV] :
Moral of my bickering? Don't leave people in the dark. Its wrong.

If devs want credit for their work then so be it. They can have it, but at least be generous enough to let the viewers see what is going on. After all, phones can be expensive if something goes wrong.

;)
[HTC One SV] DrBassman:
I don't see mmcblk0p7 nor mmcblk0p3 listed when I do '# cat /proc/emmc'. Any idea what is in the partitions we're modifying with the 'dd' commands?
[HTC One SV] :
Based on my studies thus far, these partitions which aren't being listed are practically universal across the board with our HTC devices. The actual listed partitions using that command are the important ones as they may change between each device.
[HTC One SV] :
The only time you may see slight changes is when you look at devices that are cdma and gsm, with SIM card or without SIM card. But these are very very minor differences.
[HTC One SV] :
So far as I can tell, mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p7 are only used to determine whether or not the device is locked, relocked, unlocked, tampered, or not tampered. The HBoot partition reads these two, which then displays it on the HBoot screen. Those two partitions may serve other purposes as well but since we are only focusing on the lock, and tampered portion the rest is left untouched.
[HTC One SV] :
The same goes with mmcblk0p4 when changing your CID in which the HBoot reads the partition to determine its display of your CID.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
your tutorials have given me the open eyes to and confidence to actually start working on an s-off exploit for my first android phone HTC OneV CDMA(virgin mobile)

huge thanks for your work and findings and HUGE thanks for explaining what's what
[HTC One SV] :
When you unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV website and receive your unlock_code.bin file and apply it to your phone it tells it to go through these partitions and some other ones as well and wipe most of it out with zeros. This is how all your data and stuff gets reseted by HTC. However, when you focus on the actual hex location pertaining the lock, and tamper thus making your changes you then prevent your data from being wipe out as HTCDEV likes to do - which ultimately leaves a watermark on your device ;)
[HTC One SV] :
That is outstanding. A tutorial maybe? Or a PM! Hahaha
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
as soon as it's complete, I would love to have you proofread it before released....
