[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoqui:
My N7 did the OTA 4.4 update without a hitch and performed without issue afterwards. Finally having some spare time today, I decided to root it. I've been rooting the device since I bought it so this was not going to be a new exercise for me. I went to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531000

and downloaded the zip and copied it to Internal Storage. I tried to reboot into Recovery but managed to drop myself into the bootloader. Instead of powering off I selected Recovery Mode and after a few seconds the screen changed to the green android robot lying on its back with its front hatch open, a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it and the text "missing command". Figuring that I'd blundered into a dead end analagous to a BSOD on a desktop, I tried to power off the tablet but it wouldn't respond to the power button. I popped off the cover and unplugged the battery.

I let it sit unplugged for a short while and then reconnected it. Now the tablet does not respond to the power button. I can't turn it on.

I've been Googling this but all I've found is posts meant for people with charging issues. My tablet did have that issue but I fixed it long ago and it never returned. I've been trying the methods in those various posts just to see if they might work. So far, no joy. The battery was at 60% when this happened.

The tablet has performed beautifully until now. I'm having great trouble believing that the error plus unplugging the battery has bricked it. I've plugged it into the charger and plan to keep trying the various starting methods. Any suggestions or insights into what has happened would be appreciated. :(

[edit] The charging animation does not appear after plugging in the tablet. I've checked and re-checked the battery connector and it is completely inserted and snug.

[edit 2] I connected the tablet to my desktop to see what happened. Normally when I do this with the tablet off it just charges and nothing else happens. This time, the pc spent some time thinking before giving an error chime and the following messages. I hope it provides an important clue...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoqui:
The problem is resolved. I'm not sure why, but here's what happened.

I managed to borrow another 2012 Nexus 7 from a co-worker. On a whim, I removed their battery and connected it to my N7. The tablet started up normally. I then connected my battery to their N7. It, too, started normally. I restored my battery to my unit and pressed the power button. It started normally.

I have no idea why the tablet is working now but I'm grateful that it is. The lesson that might be drawn from this is to not be hesitant to swap components in a malfunctioning tablet, even if you don't envision the swap as being relevent or productive. In my case, it seems to have given the tablet the kick in the pants that it needed to get moving again. :good:

Anyone know? I hate the bumpers that are cases with a clear back, I want a real bumper that only goes around the edge of my phone, I dont want anything covering the back, like the iPhone ones that go around the rim only, i had one for my note but can't find one for the Nexus, if anyone knows where I can get one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Rexen:
Hey there all,

I recently purchased the ZTE Majesty from StraightTalk, and I honestly couldn't be happier, great phone, great company, etc... However, one thing I have noticed is that when I go to turn my phone off, instead of the "Power off" option actually shutting down the phone, it puts it into some sort of hibernation mode. I've been unable to find a way to turn this off (I've Googled, tested, tried, factory reset, pushed, prodded and called to no avail), so I thought I'd turn to xda with my problem. I've included a screenshot of my power menu, in hopes it'll jog somebody's memory, or help me turn this damn thing completely off, as hibernation uses battery. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Rexen

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dmsny:
Found this incredible realtime PUSH email solution for WM2003 and WM2005 devices. Works like vgsmail (IMAP IDLE Client being developed) but MUCH more stable, reliable, and faster (it's been around a while and they have big company partners)! It consists of a small syncing program that supports true push and links with the built in Messaging app, you just need to keep it minimized but running on your Pocket PC in the background (doesn't seem to slow down the device). Upon installation, the software also creates an account in the Messaging application where your mail is kept.

You just download the sync application, they give you 500mb of server space and a cool web mail interface (looks like Outlook) that also stores and syncs calender, contacts, and tasks. You can just use it for mail and continue using ActiveSync with Outlook for everything else, that's what I do. They also gives you a free utility to sync the email on your account with Outlook on your desktop so you stay up to date!

It's called office2go and it's from space2go:

https://shop.space2go.com/faces/shop/index.jsp

I tried it on our WM5 WiFi device and it was rock solid! I signed up for a free 30 trial of office2go and downloaded the PUSH Email client. I just forward my ISP's POP3 mail to this account and within a few seconds, it shows up on my PPC in the Messaging app. It runs reliably, no crashes or lock ups yet. Outgoing mail is sent immediately, no need to hit SEND/RECEIVE anymore! Also deletes from server immediately and keeps sent mail in sync. The sync application has great downloading and scheduling options as well.

They deliver TRUE PUSH mail today, and for what you get, the easy setup, and reliability, I think it could be worth it.

Give it a try!

Add ons and commands explained in detail:

1.) Fix permissions script is running after all the commands to ensure permissions are correct. You can also install the fix_permissions script as standalone command. (see command list)

2.) To install a rom or other cwm zip file put it into the "put_files_here" folder and run "install" or "rom-install" depending on what you want to do. You can also use this to restore system and data partition backups made by kn0x0ut or onandroid (those have to be in tar or tar.gz format).

3.) The busybox which gets installed is directly from busybox.net and has more commands than the "normal" busybox floating around from stericson.

Additionally if you use the "busybox" command some symlinks will get redirected from toolbox to busybox and give enhanced functions.

(for exampe: mv, cp, rmdir, rm, ...)

4.) "sqlite3" and "zipalign" will also install an init.d script so that they are running on system boot to optimize the dbs and/or zipalign the apks.

(do not distribute kn0x0ut download links but instead link to this thread, not only for credits, but so people can report bugs etc in one place)

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND TRY TO REMOUNT YOUR SYSTEM WRITABLE BEFORE YOU TRY TO INSTALL A ROM! AND ONLY DO THAT OVER ADB SHELL!!!

So if I already have Knox at 0x1 am I screwed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
well then this thing has no use to you, other than the addons and installing stuff on a running system instead of using custom recovery.

But it wont fix the knox warranty no. It just KEEPS it from getting tripped by allowing installs without custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] harosxcomp170:
Now say if I odined back to completely stock with no root. Will that bring my Knox back to 0x0? Or has the damage already been done?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
sorry to say, but gtfo with these questions inside this thread! knox 0x1 stays knox 0x1 - so far nothing gonna bring it back - ssheeesh this you should really know man. one lil google search gives you 100 threads about just that! (completely offtopic to this tool also... sorry but is this xda or android central?!)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] harosxcomp170:
Yea sorry about that I didn't know if there was a break through or something I bought my phone off swappa with knox already voided.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
well tbh, I wouldn't worry so much about it, I'm strongly considering to trip my flag to have custom kernel and recovery. This toolbox here can't fully replace it. But maybe we find a way to make our own signed kernels and/or recovieries or some other way around this knox warranty void bs.

My phone is still new and for such an expensive piece I rather don't risk anything before it's clear there are no bugs out or smth people dont yet know about (I mean with the hardware, not with my toolbox or smth). Plus its fun to try out whats possible.. (i learned so much about android and the shell by doin all this... good exercise hehe)

So until then I'll keep my warranty intact - and beside overclocking and some kernel tweaks and maybe easy nandroid backups/restore we can do quite alot.

---

@ the others with their flags still intact: Why so shy? Any success stories so far? This would get more attention if someone would confirm it working other than me hehe =). You all pushed me to make a script now use it! (try X-note for the start or smth .. thats what I'm using and it worked fine)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Maroc_Specops:
Cf root will trip the KnoX.

But samsung accepts one time warranty even if u tripped it.

This is my 3rd note, in 3 executive years. Ive never needed warranty. The golden rule with Samsung phones is if it works (hardware), it will stay to work for years. Just like German Mercedes from the '80s and '90 s.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phil10:
but it's impossible to use your program without root? it's right. my phone it's already in rom MJ7, so, no soluce now to root without tripping the knox to 0x1..

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
no it wont wipe data partition.

If you just use the "install" command it wont wipe anything, just copy over and overwrite the files that exist.

If you use the "new_rom" command it will wipe the system apps and the framework before installing.

If you come from odexed and want to install deodexed version you must use the "new_rom" command or else you will have odex files and some incompatible system apps left.

---

I'm also working on a way to backup and restore system as well as data.

What I really would like to know is what happens if you create an odin image from your system partition and flash that back with odin or mobileodin. It would just "restore" the system to the state where you created the image, but the question is if that would trip knox or not.

To be honest I doubt it would, since we only install a system image back that was already "ok" for knox - you already got the custom system partition flag when one uses RDLV or somehow else attains root access because the system is not unmodified, so this wouldnt change anything.

The only problem with my thinking would be if odin / mobileodin implements a special check thats only triggered when you flash through it and which will then trigger the knox flag if it finds a custom image.

If you find any stories of people who just flashed a (custom) system image through odin or mobileodin please point me there. So this question can finally be answered fully.

If we could just flash system images with odin while leaving out kernel and recovery and keeping knox, this would make custom recovery obsolete kind of. The only thing we still couldnt do then would be to use custom kernel features. So please help me to find out!

It shouldnt, although you might end up with other problems.. not 100% sure to be honest. (I only installed on freshly wiped device so far, or wiped afterwards etc, just to make sure)

Best thing to do is backup everything with titanium and then give it a try - but make sure you backup stuff to your external SD or copy it over to the pc, because the internal sd will get wiped if you have to factory reset. (just do a backup of everything with titanium and then copy the contents of your internal SD card (everything - to include game saves etc) to your pc.

If end up having to factory reset because of bugs from the old data you can just restore the apps with titanium and have your internal sd contents backed up.

---

If you give it a try (if you have the titanium backup and the internal sd contents you can always restore the old state at least) please report if you had to wipe data or if everything runs fine?

When I tested things around I did this already and the data stayed - but i did not test all the apps to really make sure.. so theres a small chance for problems - but I actually doubt it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] girron:
Successfully able to install a custom rom without tripping knox! I used Freezas stock deodexed mj4 firmware and knox still 0x0 thank you so much. Took a little bit for me to get it going but thankfully was able to use odin flash stock back and then retry. Going to try another rom

*edit*

Doesn't seem to clear the cache or wipe correctly as I get things stopping like direct pen input etc
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
Best thing to do is factory reset after you successfully installed a rom with kn0x0ut.

Install Rom with kn0x0ut then Factory reset, then remove bloatwware (if you want to)

Be aware that factory reset on stock recovery (or the one in the options, on running phone) does clear your INTERNAL SD Card.

So don't keep any important files there when you factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
no idea sorry, try the google backup thingy apps maybe. (hopefully you made a backup before).

I don't use google sync at all (only google thing I use is the playstore on my phone - and even that one is locked down with xprivacy - don't want to be tracked by them or the other mofos).

So be aware that the "zroice" version of bloatware removal is meant for maximum privacy etc. but this means all "cloud", "sync", "google" bullcrap is removed. Only meant for people that don't want to give google (and samsung) all their data. Most Factory Test apps are also removed - this means that the secret codes won't work anymore as well. (but if you look at the permissions the factory test apps require - while still having internet access - I say no thanks)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
hmmm looks like you put the kn0x0ut.sh into the root folder "/"?

Please browse into that directory on the sd instead and run the command to install kn0x0ut to the system/xbin and then work from there.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zroice:
new version out... tested the commands which failed, and for me they work.

But this might be a problem when /system/bin and /system/xbin files are gettin overwritten on a rom install still.. so please test if the commands work before you try again. And if it fails again on rom-install but the commands work standalone, then there must be something left out.

Tried to fix the problem though... lets see.

As a workaround you can still delete the /system/bin and /system/xbin folders from the zip youre trying to install and it should work, as people reported.

Could add these to the dangerous files, but this could mean some mods are left out in installation process, so better not.

Ill give it a try too soon (wanna upgrade to mk2 anyway, so might as well...) this should then fix all remaining errors, then I'm gonna keep retrying the rom install till it runs through without any errors.

(but not gonna happen today i fear)
