[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iancarvalho:
Before anything, I have searched and searched on this topic, although I have found information on unrooting and reclaiming warranty, it seems to be focused on the I9505 version, so here goes the question:

I have the I9500 variant of the S4; I've always rooted my old phones and reclaimed warranty with Triangle Away and so on. Apparently, the Triangle Away app will never work for the I9500 variant. I would like to know if I can Root and Unroot my galaxy s4 I9500 variant without losing warranty. In addition, if I root, I will then only be able to update by downloading official firmware from the sammobile site. If I root my phone and eventually update to the official 4.4 firmware from the sammobile website using ODIN and then decide to unroot to reclaim warranty, will that be possible? Will installing the official firmware through ODIN cause the binary flash counter to change?

I really want to root my phone and maintain updates even if I have to download manually from the site and update through ODIN, but I also want to keep my 1-year official warranty and my extra 1-year extended warranty.

Nothing?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Don't flash anything on your phone if you want the above guaranteed.

Though this wasn't a primary intention so far as Knox is concerned, making it difficult to dud Samsung on warranty claims (I.E where you've clearly used the phone in a manner which breaches the warranty conditions) post-Knox is a nice little bonus for them (and frankly, I don't blame them).

The moment you start flashing stuff to your phone, you should lose all expectations of any warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It depend on in what country you bought the phone if you even will lose warranty by rooting and flashing.

And if you already have a knox bootloader. If you don't have knox bootloader, then just go ahead, root, flash etc. If you do have a knox bootloader, then rooting and flashing will trip the counter. Then it depends on in which country you live if you will get warranty again :)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] pominperth:
I've just purchased an XDA IIi in Australia

ROM Version 1.11.00 WWE

ROM Date 01/27/05

Radio version 1.00.00

Protocol Version 1337.39

ExtROM version 1.11.923 WWE

I've been following a number of posts on upgrading rom (more stability, better performance) and upgrading Radio (better signal strength) but I'm confused.

1. What will I gain from upgrading? Will I see any real benefit?

2. Will the posted upgrades work for my Australian XDAIIi

3. Has anyone in Aus done any upgrades - is it hard/safe?

I'm keen to get the best from my device but don't want to screw it up. Anyone who can offer advice/guidance to a newbie would be doing me a real favour.

Thanks
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] pmandrews:
The first thing is that there are 3 seperate ROM's in the XDA2i;

1. OS/boot ROM - Normally Windows 2003SE. Not much choice here!

2. Extended ROM - Operator specific software and customisations

3. Radio ROM - The bit that deals with the GSM and GPRS (phone)

What you will gain from an upgrade basically depends on what you need. Upgrades provided by your operator will normally add additional or updated software packages or patches to fix problems that have been reported to the operator.

In reality though, the updates provided by the operators will not be ideal. For example, O2 until recently were still providing Radio ROM v1.00.00, whereas 1.04.00 has been available for some time now. They have added Blackberry support in the recent Extended ROM version 1.11.169, but I don't use blackberry. Therefore the O2 ROM updates are of no use to me.

Thus I took the Radio 1.04.00 ROM from this site, and modified the 1.11.162 ROM provided by O2 (also downloadable from this site) to suit my needs and installed the resultant ROM images on my PDA.

In your case, you appear to be using Radio 1.00.00. So you will certainly benefit from upgrading to Radio 1.04.00, because this fixes some serious stability problems which caused the PDA to crash when using certain SD cards.

As for the extended ROM, you could install one of the many examples available on this site, but beware that if you choose a ROM designed for a different operator, many settings will be different, so SMS/MMS/WAP/GPRS etc may not work properly unless you know how to configure them manually.

There are lots of instructions and programs in these forums to help you make a customised extended ROM should you want to. But don't be afraid to ask if you want help - better to ask than have a broken PDA!

hope at least some of this makes sense!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh'sDroid:
Hello, guys!

I want to tell you guys my case.

You'll see, I bought the Blu Dash 4.0 because in my country, Honduras, this phone was in an offer, price consederably lower than other smartphones with the same specifications. For me, Android is the top notch OS, and the alternative was an iPod Touch, but I totally hate iOS. So I bought this phone.

I decided to wait for the warranty of the phone expired, for root it.

But there's a major problem:

My phone's ROM isn't 4.0, it' 4.22

It's a custom made ROM made by my network provider

My network provider blocked the bootloader or download mode

There's not an method to root this phone with this OS

As you'll see, I cannot root my phone with this forum's post or theads, because I've tried everything, since SuperOneClick to the embarrasing alternative, z4Root. So I gave up, and I need urgently to root my phone.

Could you please help me?

Thanks for advance!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junior94:

everything in his ebay store which appears to be based in italy is $354.00 US or $300 EU, which he claims is brand new but the minimum order has to be 2 units.

Anyone know if this guy is for real? Cause That's a pretty wicked price if it's brand new, one could order 2 and sell one for like $600 US and make a profit or get a friend to buy one with you. I'm just wondering if this is too good to be true, all his feedback is positive tho...

The above eBay auctions are definitely scams. There are no payment methods listed, no feedback for sales (only purchases) and the user has almost certainly hi-jacked these two accounts to use in the scam.

So simply ANY nandroid backup I count on does not seem to satisfy me

I've been fooled by my device like 3 or 4 times and lost a lot of pretty customizations that were on it :(

I have had those aswell, i found a guide(workaround, whatever) on youtube. Just open your cwm backup folder and look for the nandroid.md5 file. Open it with an editor and delete all and leave it empty. This way it wont check the md5 sum and just restore. However if your backup is damaged it might not work or cause troubles. You can also use nandroid restore app from play to restore data and apps. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
The advice I was given at a very early stage in my android modifying was to zip the backup prior to moving it to a PC........ then when it was going to be used, move the zip back 'in phone' and use the phone to unzip it.....apparently this minimises the risk of corruption......

Whether this is true or not, I haven't investigated, but it *sounds* reasonable.......

The speaker is on the right side on the LG G2. The left speaker grill is just another mic inside. I think LG made 2 speaker grills for looks and symmetry.

Its like asking Apple why do they have 2 speaker grills on the bottom of the iPhone 5S when indeed it also only has 1 speaker as well which is on the right side and a microphone on the left side. Most people don't know that and assume Apple provides stereo sound with 2 speakers. Its just an aesthetic thing.

Hi guys,

First ever post on xda, and probably on any forums page :/. Bear with me if I come off as noobish but I have a bit of a problem with rooting in general... So after getting rid of my ZTE blade s (which was reaaaally easy to root) I decided to get the Xperia M C1905 and after about a month of use... I figured I have to root this thing. I checked if my phone had an unlocked bootloader, it didn't. That brings my first question, 1) Do you HAVE to have an unlocked bootloader to root your phone? It's pretty confusing, I get mixed answers here and I'm really confused. I assumed that you still could root your phone so I looked around and found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529561 and here's where I get even more confused. In the title it says single/dual but doesn't mention single anywhere else in the thread and no one with a single sim model replied. My second question, 2) Are rooting methods for dual sim and single sim phones the same? It's kinda confusing and I'm scared there might be firmware differences between the dual and single sim versions of my phone soooo :(

Just to summarise my main questions:

1) Do you HAVE to have an unlocked bootloader to root your phone?

2) Are rooting methods for dual sim and single sim phones the same?

I'm sorry if my thread is in the wrong place, I haven't the slightest idea with what I'm doing this is the first time I've posted in any forums hahaha. Any help would be appreciated :D

Yours,

A confused noob in need
[General Questions and Answers] Zeuscluts:
For rooting related you need not need to have Unlocked Bootloader.

And rooting is installing the su Binaries.

And it's the Same Method for single and dual sim.

NOTE:-

But Roms and kernels for dual and single sim are different.

As it has 2 different modems to play with.

Warning:-

Always have a Complete Nandroid backup before you start messing with your Phone.

I am saying you because you are new and newbies always have highest tendency to make Mistake.

Always Have a BACKUP..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spensword:
Quick backstory, I tried flashing CM to my S3. Couldn't tell you the build number atm, but it was stable release and I double checked that it was for the correct phone/carrier. CM flashed fine, but had me stuck at the Cyanogenmod load screen. I don't have internet at home right now, and am working 7 days a week, typically for 12 hours. So for about 3 days I was soft bricked, because my CWM recovery couldn't mount my internal sd (where my backup was).

At the next opportunity,I managed to install MOAR rom for my phone. Boots up fine, everything is working, but I have the "No sim card inserted, emergency calls only" on my lock screen (or something to that effect). I can still make calls, text,mms, and even browse the web. However,I don't seem to have 3g or 4g capabilities anymore. My next step would be to re flash the stock Rom, which I have, but fails to install due to the inability to mount the internal sd. It flashes fine, but boots into recovery mode and gives me a bunch of errors about unable to mount e: etc..

I was able to salvage some of my CWM recovery and can restore the system and boot partitions, but my data was corrupted. Even so, doing that still leaves me with the SIM error and no visible mobile data connection. I'm truly lost as to where to go next, any advice is appreciated!

Edit: The only unusual thing I've noticed is my ICCID is listed as "unknown". Not sure if that is helpful!
