[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typow102:
Okay i'm asking for help thats all. I know what I did was stupid. I'm trying to sideload the stock rom but it keeps getting stuck at 84%. The problem I think, is the boot partition is all messed up.

Just be sure you dont type it wrong tho.

Hey thanks for responding. I tried doing that just now and it still keeps rebooting in recovery. I did the first option though. I cant find where to enter commands on TWRP. It just tells me to pick a folder.

Can anybody help? I'm pretty desperate here. I just dont know why twrp deleted my backup. I had one on there that I used all the time and now it says it cant find it. It just keeps rebooting into recovery mode.

If im not mistaken you dont need to choose any folder,only to push select and then type it up there...

Hi,

What are you saying :eek::confused:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typow102:
are you on sprint? Thats what im on. I tried that method,but got stuck on this part: 4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.

When I would go to unplug it and reboot into download mode it just wouldn't do anything the app would just say ready.

I somehow got my nandroid back but when Its done flashing it just reboots back into recovery. I dont know whats going on.

Hi,

I think it would be really nice to have a ability to add the device you own to your profile. In this way it would be clear what everyone is using (as now often we don't even know when a dev moves on to another device), and we would have a history for each user owned devices and awesome stats showing how many users own (and how many previously owned) particular phone in each phone's section. I'am surprised something like this wasn't even implemented yet :p
[About XDA developers] E.Cadro:
The first part of your idea has been available for a while now.

Go into your control panel>>edit details>> 3rd option down devices "Enter the devices that you're currently using"

Once entered it will show at the bottom of your profile page and under your avatar in the more info.

I'm trying to install AJK Kernel 4.9 AOSP on Hellybean 4.3 and also tried on Carbon Rom 4.3. I use a kernel cleaning script, flash the kernel, reboot recovery, reset stweaks profiles, and have tried fix permissions also. Each time the phone starts up on reboot i get fc's on phone.android.com and others. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I have read where others have installed this kernel on these roms with out any trouble. BTW, the AJK thread is closed so I posted here.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Probably because those roms are based after the "ramdisk" update issue. Basically, most (if not all) AOSP-based roms after a specific update (can't remember the exact date or month, think it's October, though) no longer allow the use of custom kernels unless they feature an updated ramdisk.

AJK doesn't have this yet, but AJ is working on 5.0 - that will solve the problem.

Hello everyone

i just bought a new xperia Z1 Germany

i am from israel,and Hebrew on the device is hidden

morelocale2 find it but as I understood from 4.2.2 it needs to change permissions so it can pull it out

it says:

After 4.2 new Jelly Bean, The protection level definition of CHANGE_CONFIGURATION has been changed.

If you're able to use development tools, you can grant the permission manually by 'pm' command.

If you have SuperUser privilege on your device. MoreLocale 2 could get the permission automatically

The software was unable to do it by Option B .

Ii got some progress by googling but a bit stuck due to lack of experience

If anyone could help explaining a simple laymen (in computers anyway...)

I realized that I needed - open device developers mode and highlight the usb debugging -thats Done.

i Have downloaded to my computer and install SDK ... Using the manager , but I was not sure what to install and then not find what folder it was installed in ... I will be happy to have a better explanation of what i need to do here...a walk through if someone has the patience would be awsom .

i am not sure how to enter the cmd? and then the several commands with the device connected to computer ... here would love a guide to lead me hand in hand in the process ... If someone has the knowledge (well, sure u do) and patience

i dont know if this is the right forum or even the right site for my Q?....but i hope it is...

I cleared data and rebooted , it only seems to fix the problem temporarily , then the bug came back . i uninstalled swype and reinstalled it , still had the bug , so i cleared data again and rebooted. At this moment swype keyboard is working , but who knows for how long. I dont know why out of nowhere i would have a bug like this.

does anyone know if there is trick to install Microsoft Visual Basic runtime in my Universal (JasJar) ?

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ccisn:
There is no VB Runtime for Windows Mobile. The closest you can do is installing The .NET Compact Framework, but you will not be able to run VB Scripts or VB applications on a Windows Mobile device. At least not now anyway.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicoska:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ccisn:
Interesting. I went there and noticed it is for PPC 2003. I tried installing it (but didn't let it go through)

It did look like it was going to install some VB Runtime for PPC. (It showed up on the screen)

Check your add/remove programs and see if it's in there. If it is, then it probably doesn't work with WM 2005.

Good luck
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Schlangi:
Yes, indeed. This should be a eMbedded VB Runtime, which works with WM 2003.

Visual Studio 2005 should be delivered me in the next days, and for all I read by now this will include a VB environment for WM 2005. Possibly this will be compatible to... oh wait! We're talking about Microsoft, aren't we? So, forget this about compatibility... :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ccisn:
Yeah. I tried to create an app in eMbedded VB and it didn't work out of the box on WM 2005. I have used VS2005 and created a couple apps in VB and they work, but I needed to install the MS CF 2.0 and that was it.

I had assumed that WM 2005 was supposed to have CF 2.0, but mine did not. I also have a Qtek 9100, not a 9000. So the Jasjar's and 9000's may have it already.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicoska:
thanks a lot.

Please let me know when you get the vb runtime for wm5, so then i can check if sync ml works.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicoska:
Can you post the app so i can test it ?

bye

nicoska
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ccisn:
which app? the VS2005 one? Or the eMbedded VB one?

I actually don't have the eMbedded VB one anymore.

I'll attach this simple one created in VB off of VS2005. It just powers off or resets the device. (It is not signed)

Also if you are just curious about the CF runtime you can run \Windows\cgautil.exe and it will pop up with all the versions of the Framework. Mine only has 1.0 by default. After installing 2.0 it shows both.

Kingo Root is the only current method to root MJ5, its really simple and fast if you chose to do so. Its just a program on you pC that you run and it will give you root and reboot your phone and your done.

RdlV is for versions prior to your MJ5. Don't even think about using it!

Kingo Root works well but is suspected to be malware (search for details) and all links to it have been banned from xda until kingo devs prove it is safe. That doesn't seem to be happening very quickly.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] acdcflame:
They said the newest Kingo update removed those calls back home and that they won't be doing that anymore. I don't know anything about them sending IMEI info to China, but supposedly the connections to their servers in China was to download the updates as the program rooted the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jtmj06:
I was skeptical about kingo root but after doing some research I went ahead and did it and everything seems to be fine. Yes, it takes your imei but no one really knows what they do with it if anything. All rooting is, is finding exploits and utilizing them to gain root access. In all actuality, you never truly know the intentions of any new developers that come on the scene.

Updating to from MI9 to MJ5 problems

Thanks Dustin!

I finally solved 2 problems (the installation problem and the sudden failure of Kies3 to see my phone) by going to recovery, doing a wipe data and cache and factory reset. I then re-rooted using the De La Vega method, disabled root and checked "survival mode in SuperSU Pro and then accepted the update to MJ5. This time it made it past the 27% installation point and completed. The I re-enabled root in SuperSU Pro launched titanium backup and batch restored apps and all is well. So I am finally rooted and on MJ5 without having to use Kingo. Thanks for your help.

Yw.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TechGoon954:
Yeah, I couldn't find anywhere to really confirm that the IMEI were being sent to China and if so what for? The thing that's making me want to try this is CNET actually has Kingo in their download section and they are one of the only few websites I trust (XDA and Engadget are the other two) so I think I'm going to give it a try.

Ok, just did it and all is well and my Knox wasn't tripped!

I do notice that when I reboot a little picture of lock comes up and says CUSTOM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZishanMalik:
Are there any other options to gain root.

Like can we use ODIN to downgrade back to a previous version that does have a root option? Or has anyone injected root into a stock ROM, that we can flash with ODIN. Mr.Robinson does that for other ROM's on this forum.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzespresso:
As it seems, Kingo root is only available root solution for MJ5 (latest OTA) update. The De La Vega method forum is dead for last 1-2 months, so no idea if developer(s) will ever pick up and provide the same solution for MJ5.

I am quite hesitant to use Kingo root to my new ATT Note 3 because of all the warnings (malware, IMEI were being sent to China, etc..), but I really need to root my Note 3.

A lot of people think that De La Vega root method is easy, but if you ask me it is NOT really, heard several people brick their devices. I know that developers are in good intentions, but providing an easy root method for ATT Note 3 is may never possible.

Based on what I have read so far is that what's so strange is that using Kingo root application rooting seems like happening on the fly (1.2.3..done!), considering De La Vega root method took like months, how the heck Kingo does this so easy...maybe they know something that no one knows...I also read some of their forum responds that they cannot provide technical details how they do that...maybe they affraid if they explain the exploit, google and samsung will patch it, means their app because useless junk...

anyway,sitting here holding my brand new shiny Note 3 and wondering if I root it with Kingo or not or wait updated MJ5 The De La Vega root method....:confused:
