[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
So what you're saying is kernel version, csc etc. all dont matter as long as its simply an i9100 running 4.1.2 when using the above siyah/dorimanx/phillz methods?

I intend to keep it as stock as possible (my bro's terrified of rooting) until he sees its safe and wants features only available in other roms at which point i'll probably use cyanogenmod with no custom kernels.

My question (how to root when on 4.1.2 for my particular hardware) is probably what most new rooters for the i9100 come to this section of the forum for today. But unfortunately the stickies give you the idea 'do not use this method unless made for your exact device!!'

or maybe its just me...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
i think i'll go the philz route for pure stock experience. i have trouble figuring out which version i need based on what my about page says:

XWLSD (bootloop fixed)

or

XXLS8-FOP (Jellybean)

??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LYandroid:
PDA refers to the build version of the firmware so,use the XWLSD version :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
Thank you!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Wow i don't know what you guys are talking about :confused:

But if you just need to root your device why don't you try

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

1-klick and root :D

And if you need to install cwm you just have to download rom manager from playstore - he will automatically install the latest cwm for your device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No. Do not use Rom Manager on the I9100/T/G/M/P. At all. Ever. It will break recovery/cause bootloops eventually, which will require an wipe and/or an Odin flash to recover.

Besides, any recovery flashed on its own on this phone will only persist until the next reboot anyway, due to recovery being baked into the kernel/not on a separate partition like many other devices.

Flash a custom kernel of your choice = rooted phone + CWM & you can then flash whatever custom rom/kernel you want from there. No need to flash CWM separately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Didn't know it shouldn't be used on these models, only tested it with my phone.

however how do i know which model he is using? I'm a bit confused know :confused:

Nevertheless, sry for giving false information, never would have thought it could break the phone cause it says in rom manager it will find the fitting cwm ...:screwy: :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
All good ;) Yeah, Rom Manager breaks stuff. You might get away with using it for a while (maybe even a long while), but in most cases it do the things I mentioned sooner or later. CWM has everything you need anyway.

How do you know what model someone is using ? Ask them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Ah okay thought u saw it in his information ...

Well okay but for me it worked, i just used it to install temporarily cwm. Afterwards i flashed a new rom and yeah ...with that you have cwm anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
Well this didn't go at all as I'd hoped even if it could be worse:

-rooted using Philz XWLSD (fixed for bootloop) and confirmed supersu was working

-made a nandroid backup in philz

-did a data wipe>clean for new rom as planning to install cm 10.1.3

-wiped cache & dalvik cache

-realized i should probably make a 'clean' stock version first to give my bro the option of choosing stock or cm

-restored the nandroid and rebooted

Now I'm stuck at the samsung logo on boot. Not sure how to go forward as this is my first boot issue ever after flashing 50+ roms on the s3 using cwm.

Installing cm thereafter resulted in no issues but it'd be nice to know i could go back to stock if my bro wanted
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Well i don't really see a reason why the restore didn't work. I would try to make a complete wipe after restoring and than run the backup again...sometimes that helps ...

If no try to flash a custom rom first with the same Android version like ur stock rom and afterwards try to restore ....

It sounds not very logical but i had to do that often :banghead:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
Apparently the problem was that philz does not backup the /preload/ partition by default which results in the bootloop. The only possibility is flashing the original fw via odin and trying to integrate that /preload/ partition with my current (incomplete) nandroid. Will need some time to test this as my brother is currently quite happy with cm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Yeah.....I've run into that preload issue with PhilZ myself........

There is a thread on here by Chainfire for one of his creations called mobile Odin.....it allows you to flash a firmware 'in phone' without the use of a PC or PC based Odin.......

With regards to integrating two partial backups.....I'd be surprised if that worked.....integration IS probably possible..... But then you have to modify the MD5 file in order for the recovery to accept and flash the integrated backup.....from what I understand, the MD5 acts *like* a numerical 'bar code'.......

In the same way that a bar code is linked to a specific product, the MD5 is linked to a specific backup or other flashable zip.....I believe it 'encodes' the size, number of folders/files etc......if the MD5 info is a mismatch to the zip, cwm 'scratches it's head' and refuses to flash it........

Is there a way to flash an ATT prl so I can roam off their tower?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] datajosh:
No, there is not. To use an AT&T tower, first someone would need to find a way to unlock the SIM for domestic use (which hasn't been done so far) and then you would also need to have a valid AT&T SIM card.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palmensammer:
Hi,

I'm using BeanStalk 4.3 and tried to flash the new 4.4 version. But unfortunately this kills my EMEI. Tried with several other 4.4 roms

but with the same result. Doing a recovery with backup of 4.3 works fine and EMEI is back again and the phone works perfectly.

Phone is Note 2 LTE (Vodafon)

What is going wrong? After flashing the rom and a new start there's a message that I have to insert my SIM-card correctly.

Anybody else having the same problem? Any solution known?

Thanks

Eckhard
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palmensammer:
Hi,

no one with an idea?

I'm wondering that each time I flash a 4.4 rom I don't have to unlock my SIM-card as it's protected.

Already tried TWRP but same result. Still using BeanStalk 4.3:crying:

I'm running wicked v3, it bothers the heck out of me because it does not look good with my theme any help would be much appreciated.

I haven't used UOT Kitchen since my g1/mt4g days but I'm thinking they have support for android 4.3 phones/roms. Try giving that a try, I might also cuz I like to theme some stock roms with colored status bar icons too.

Edit: Just checked and it looks like latest they support is android 4.2...

Hoping soon they update to at least 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] raw2000j:
Do u have xposed installer as well?If u do have you installed framework on xposed installer and have wanan checked in modules.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] trek7000:
I have Xposed installed, and none of the modules I've tried seem to work for changing the battery icon or its color. The ones I've used are Wanum, Xbattery Themer and Xposed Status Bar Mods. All of the other icons can be changed, but the battery is stubborn.

I'm on the stock ROM with a the Faux123 kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mogan):
You need to change the battery images in your systemui.apk, wanam can change your battery icon image but it dont let you choose color because it's replacing the battery image with his.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Thespmex13:
What steps would I have to do to change it to white or applications would I need to use to change the images in systemui.apk ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mogan):
You need to decompile the systemui.apk and replace the battery images with the ones you like, I think you could just open the apk with 7zip or winrar and drop the battery images you want, not really sure if that still works though, you said you're on wicked right I thought wicked had a white theme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Thespmex13:
Yea I have wicked but the white theme has the white battery circle which I don't really like but I'm going to try and add the images and see if it works.

Help!

I need some advice. I had stock 4.2.2, flashed omega v14 and then 4.3 GE ROM. I did not know about knox and I have tripped it. It shows 0x1 now. I understand that I cannot change that, and that is ok.

But I cannot flash any firmwares now.

I have tried the pre-rooted 4.3 in Odin:

I9505XXUEMK8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-FULL

failed.

I have tried official 4.3 for my carrier:

I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505TENEMJ8_I9505XXUEMJ7_HOME.tar

failed.

If I try to flash cwm it boots, but it just stays on the google logo, and does not continue. If I try to enter recovery I get a message about secure mode and it does not enter recovery.

If I flash stock recovery, I can get into recovery. I have tried a factory reset, but it still boots to Google logo and nothing else.

What should I do? There must be a way?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bishkek:
Same issue with me. Looking for solutions. You can install Pacman rom without any problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
Can someone please give me some pointers?

I have now tried to install the newest firmware from sammobile, even though it isn't for my carrier. It also fails in Odin. I am using 3.07. I can flash CWM and I can get into CWM now, but there's nothing on my sdcard. So I can not flash anything from CWM.

Is it possible to load files onto CWM when the phone won't boot fully?

Is there a firmware I can flash in Odin that will work in this situation?

Should I try Kies? Will Kies be able to sort this out?

Right now I have a brick.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Try a different usb port, different cable, make sure kies is not running in the background and try Odin 1.85.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
Make sure you're not mixing up "SDcard" partition on your internal storage with your EXT-SD Card the one that you physically inserted into the device! Save the zip into both maybe and wipe cache, factory wipe, then flash the ROM. Try another cable and USB, try a different recovery e.g. Philz!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
During the failed flash-attempts, my sdcard is now empty. I have no files in CWM to flash. How do I get the files to my card? I don't have an external sdcard.

Trying Odin 1.85 now with latest firmware from sammobile. Right now the phone will not boot, I can't flash anything through Odin (due to knox?) and I can't flash anything from CWM since there are no files there to flash...

Edit:

Odin 1.85 also fails. I cannot install any firmware now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
Knox will not stop you flashing with Odin. It won't really affect anything except, potentially, your warranty.

Where have you put the Zip file for the ROM you want to install? You need to point CWM towards it directly, whatever folder it is in... Are you doing that?

You could buy an SD card for a few quid and copy a ROM onto that if needs be... I would flash Philz recovery and Wipe Cache. Wipe factory reset (install a new ROM Option), click Install from SD Card and navigate to the folder.

If your entire SD Partition is wiped you'll need to hook up to the PC and copy the zip back over in download mode.

EDIT: Sorry if this is real obvious or I'm missing what's wrong. I figure if you're anything like me you're a bit anxious about this, just going step by step, we'll fix it!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *boy*racer*:
OK so i haven't got an S4 but i do have the mini and have a similar problem.

MJ7 got released but not for my country, so i flashed an AUS MJ7 firmware. Now it has been rolled out to my country and i cannot flash my original FW back due to different CSC. AUS CSC=MJ1 & UK CSC=MK1. (Failed in Odin)

so my theory is i cannot now flash any other regions firmware and stuck with MJ1 CSC. (AUS Firmware)

Can you remember the original FW you flashed when you had knox 0x0?

Hope this makes sense. I'm not getting any replies on S4 mini forum.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
I most likely had I9505TENEMJ8 or the one before that (MJ5?). It is Norway TEN. I have downloaded the latest for TEN, MJ8 and it fails in Odin. Right now I would be happy just to be able to flash anything at all...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
I had CWM. Tried to flash stock recovery now, but I can't boot into it. I do the usual, then a green android shows up, then shifts to lying on his back with a red exclamation mark over it. Then the phone reboots and stays at the Samsung logo.

I am soon ready to give up. Nothing works!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
How do I copy a file over through download mode?

I have tried adb shell with CWM booted, but I get "unauthorized device error"

I think I will buy an sdcard, but that won't solve my problem with not being able to flash anything with Odin. But perhaps I can get a working rom flashed through CWM.

I had no problems flashing roms with odin before knox. Now I can not flash anything at all.

Edit:

I have also tried connecting to kies now like this:

http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
Boot it into download mode and copy the zip over with windows explorer, into the internal memory. Navigate with Install from Zip option in CWM (maybe try Philz, it definitely works for me, with Knox 0x1) and install.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
When the phone is in download mode, where do I find it in Windows? It does not show in Windows Explorer, but it shows up in Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
OK. I went out and got an sd card. Copied over a rom zip to the card, flashed CWM and rebooted into recovery. Chose install from external sd card and ran the file. The setup started and ran for a few seconds, then the phone rebooted and I am back on the Samsung Logo.

I just can't flash any firmwares on this phone no matter how. Knox or not, but it all started when I tried to reflash stock rom using odin after the knox flag was triggered.

Any more ideas?

Edit:

just tried Philz recovery also. Same thing. Update runs for a few seconds then reboot. No go.

Edit 2:

Philz has the option to clean for installing a new rom. It also fails with this:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

I suppose this as something to do with nothing being able to flash here. What Can be done with this?

Edit 3:

Success!! I was able to flash Omega Rom V14 through Philz. I actually installed and is running. I do get two knox lines at boot, one yellow and one red, something about the kernel not being something...

Now to investigate what the h*ll happened.

I am still unable to install any firmware through Odin. Going to try the Google Edition 4.3 again since I kind of liked that. But what actually happened here?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:

Hi,

You I've alreayd seen the cases and I like the qtek case more, the imate case looks abit cheap imho.

Since the difference is only the rom, what are the exact differences? Do you get any extras with either? Is one faster or has better power management?

Over here the imate kjam is a bit cheaper but I was planning on getting the qtek case the case looks better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beeble:
I dont have personal experience with either ROM, i'm using the O2 UK shipped ROM installed without any of the O2 extra's. Search the forums for ROM details, there are several posts i've scanned recently about what ROM has what extras
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
The i-mate extended rom contents are on the ftp server here, so you could install Backgammon, or even the virus scanner from the i-mate onto the qtek (if you felt the need ;) ). Alternatively, you could reflash one with the complete rom image from the other... Apparently, the i-mate case is made from unobtanium (or some other rare, strong and light alloy) whereas the Qtek is made of plastic (it might be aircraft grade, radiation proof and glow in the dark, but it's still plastic). My XDA is similar to the i-mate being all silver, but sitting with one of each on my desk, neither is a bad choice. I-Mate do offer much better direct end user support, whereas Qtek seem to mostly hide behind distibuters.

I did say "better", not "good" ;)

At least you lucky i-mate users have a customer service contact to ignore you, we poor Qtek users don't even have that (unless you're Dutch, Swedish or a couple of other nationalities). I can visit a couple of Qtek websites, but none of them accept my IMEI as valid, so I'm stuck several layers down through distributers and retailers... If it wasn't for this site, I could get very old and grey waiting for ROM updates from clubqtek.com (if there was one) ;)

Before I hit "Submit", I did a quick Google and it seems there's now a QtekUK.com site with a forum and the promise of ROM updates. So far, it has a handful of posts, and an even smaller number of replies from Qtek people, and no ROM's, but it is a start... :|
