If you want to do anything beyond those, please remember to back up (you should read about it all in this forum). This is learnt from my foolishness last time when I bricked my ZR by not reading, understanding before doing :eek:
[Sony Xperia ZR] goldbugbee:

Hi All,

I have recently rooted by Karbonn a1+ using vroot.

Rooting was successful and I used my mobile, it was working fine.

But after sometime it got hanged so I thought to restart it to get it solved.

But on restarting, it started and keeps on showing me splash screen and does not proceed further.

Can anyone help me out and let me know what should I do further?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jonathanml86:
Hello all, if anyone could please help me, I would be extremely grateful.

I updated my Cyanogenmod nightly to the release for December 8th, 2013. The download seemed to be fine, it rebooted into the twrp, and then it rebooted, but then my phone never loaded back up. I tried restarting my phone with the power button, and eventually resulted to the battery pull, but yet my phone still wouldn't load.

I then tried going into the twrp again, and tried to flash a nightly upload that I had used from December 4th, it seemed to of loaded, but again my phone never loaded up.

I tired all day to use Odin to flash the ATT stock firmware, but I kept getting an ODIN FAILED error. I tried several different firmware downloads for ATT, and again, still no luck.

I am really upset over this, and would love to know why the update didn't work, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, how do I fix my device???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Atrix2destroyer:
Samsung experience shop

Go to a Best buy with a local Samsung Experience center. They can flash the Latest 4.3 software on it from your carrier as long as it turns on and gets to download mode. I did the same thing to mine a month or so back and it saved my phone haha. Its a cool tool they have that i wish i could some how pirate haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] HiTideBlastoise:
I'd still try Odin. If you go to best buy, once you get 4.3 no custom recovery or cyanogen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jonathanml86:
I was actually able to unbrick my phone using the Kies app for Mac. I don't know why I didn't try this earlier. I suppose I was trying to hold onto my root, and ability to flash custom roms onto my phone. Less than 24 hours of stock firmware, and I'm already annoyed. I also ran an update from At&T, and now I'm on 4.3. I'm still a n00b when it comes to the rooting and flashing. Yes, I can manage to follow and read directions to get my phone loaded with custom roms. But here's where I'm at now....

I'm running an unrooted AT&T Galaxy S4 with 4.3. I want Cyanogenmod back, and I want it now!!!

What do I do next????

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hnldriver77:
you can root it, but that will trip the knox counter to 0x1,

id suggest going into download mode to see if you've tripped the knox counter to 0x1, if not and you want no warranty go to the original dev thread and look for ways on rooting there

if your wanting warrenty, your pretty much hooped then bud...

Unfortunately at this point, you have root through vroot or kingo and that is all I can say. You cannot install a custom recovery, so no cyanogen
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] trpenner:
Now that I have successfully rooted my phone, thanks to Wizzrah's Evita toolkit, i'm looking to resolve a problem with call recording.

There are a plethora of call recording apps on the market but they all require speakerphone to record both sides of the conversation which is often not ideal. In the old days of Android version 2, some phones had what they call 'hardware-based" call recording which is reportedly no longer available unless you change ROMs or hack the device, which I now finally have the capability of doing.

The easiest way to see this anomaly in action is to download one of the very best call recording apps here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorderpro&hl=en and try changing the source. It won't let you because it says the phone doesn't support 'hardware-based' recording.

If anyone knows how to get past this, I would appreciate the help very much!

Maybe a wipe+flash your rom will solve the problem.. Have you tried that?

Why you changed that file? You should never do something like that unless you know what you are doing.. always keep a nandroid backup just in case..

Never edit system files unless you know what you are doing.... Wipe system clean and install rom over...alternatively download app called softkeys/ button savior root to enable on screen softkeys

Hi, I came from a rooted s4 running gummy 2.0 which is kk4.4, one of the nightlies. It was having an issue with gummy where mobile data (rogers) drops off when there is no wifi connection, so basically every time out of the house.

I decided to go back to stock rogers 4.3 with the files referenced on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269304 using Odin 3.09. It boots fine but after ~2 minutes it freezes to a black screen and I have to reboot. The mobile data does not work before the freezes as well.

Just wondering if anyone else has that problem or knows what I have done wrong to make these errors happen.

Thanks to anyone who can give any insight in this.

Cheers.

Edit: Freezing seems to have fixed with re-flash. Mobile data with rogers network has been restored using correct LTE APN settings from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530430

[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
I've got a bit of a problem...

Start > Settings > |Personal| > Phone*

At the top of the screen there's the title "Phone - 0612945678"

That number is fictional, but the problem isn't. The number it's showing is not my number. It is *similar* to my other phone's number, but off by one digit.

My question is - how can I change the number that's shown there?

I did a quick search in the registry for "0612945678" (though the actual number shown, of course :P), and it found nothing.

Any thoughts ?
[General Topics] soperjon:
this no is stored on th sim, you need to start sim manger, tools, list own numbers, then click on line1 and you should be able to edit it

[Motorola Atrix 2] obsidianwings:
Right now I am using a motorola stock camera app as I find it better than anything else I have tried, however the video on this is 720p, the stock app that came with the phone was 1080p, does anyone know where I can get the apk for this?

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
Which ROM are you running?

Stock Camera app has 1080p recording option in Stock ROM, but in kexec based ROMs, max is 720p even for stock Camera app.
[Motorola Atrix 2] obsidianwings:
Running Avatar 3.0. Thanks, didn't realise that. Is 1080p on kexec ROMs likely to ever happen, or is it just not possible?
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
As of now, I don't think it's possible, though the Devs are trying to fix 1080p recording as well as HDMI.

Thank you for the pin Mods. :)
[Google Chromecast] Kyonz:
Thanks for doing this Bhiga, I think we really needed it.
[Google Chromecast] MopheusDG:
Hi have another FAQ to add:

Can Chromecast play Netflix 3D movies ?

Currently, NO.

Just my 5 cents :o
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Doubtful it ever will either...Most TVs that support 3D have configuration steps that are required to tell it what kind of 3D it is.

And the truth is most TVs that have 3D capability already have NetFlix built into it native so why would you chromecast it at all?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Control from phone/tablet. The whole "use your phone/tablet as the remote" is really Chromecast's core differentiator.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yes I see what your saying...But until HDMI standard includes more communication than just AV I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Something along the lines of HDMI-CEC Plus.

But it would require Two Way communication (Possible with HDMI) so the TV could send messages back through the CC to your unit.

Usually when you play a 3D file the TV asks you if it is 2D/3D and which 3D format it is SBS or HOU.

That would have to be sent to CC and forwarded to your unit which I'm sure is not possible at this point.

The 3D standard was created and so rushed that it never occurred to the engineers that this should be determined in the header of the video so this step could be skipped.The TV would see the header, Switch to the appropriate 3D format and just play!

Truth is the only reason we have 3D (SmartTVs and now 4K) is because when the entire US was forced to upgrade to HD at the same time the Manufactures realized that No one would be needing a new TV the following year...

So they came up with these Gimmicks like 3D, SmartTV and now 4K just to give you some reason to keep buying TVs! LOL

They didn't really think it out fully and the truth is there were 3D TVs before there was even the Broadcasting Equipment as far as Camera Support available to shoot the content these TVs would display! LOL
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yeah, if you wanted to truly unify all the remote controls... Right now, it's just the only practical reason you'd Chromecast something from Netflix to your TV rather than using the TV's built-in Netflix.

Another possible advantage to the Chromecast route would be use of a hardware keyboard if your phone/tablet has one.

But some TVs have this already built into their remotes too.

Yup, anaglyph has existed since before I was born, and I played with 3D visualization on an SGI workstation in the very early 90's.

Remember WebTV? Hehehe... Convergence took a few rounds, but it finally arrived... sort of.

Chromecast and Second screen is the next evolution. After all, Netflix invented DIAL.

Hey, those Watchman devices might come back... I have to admit, I kind of want a Galaxy Gear even though it doesn't do video.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It is where I would like to see the Chromecast go at some point.which is why I would like them to add an IR emitter to the CC next.Cause it is almost as useful as a control device as it is a streamer.

Don't laugh...Not only do I remember WebTV I have a neighbor who still USES IT! I tried to get them to switch to a GoogleTV but they were not technically up to it! LOL

3D is great for content that is shot for it. But most content in 3D is shot in 2D and then converted via Software..No Wonder people get headaches watching it! LOL

But back on topic...

I think the chromecast is a great initial first step. If it does well (seems to be doing that) I believe future versions might add some of these features in time.
[Google Chromecast] LonelyHiker:
3d Youtube

Faq to add:

Youtube 3D support: yes

With all the fuss about 3D Netflix, I think people might not have noticed that Chromecast plays 3D Youtube videos perfectly. I can only imagine 3D Netflix will also be possible through Chromecast in the near future.
[Google Chromecast] aknisley:
Multiple Chromcast's

I was wondering if multiple Chromcast's can be used at the same time on the same network? Only have one now but would like to use other tv's at same time. Though I would ask before buying another one.
[Google Chromecast] preusstang:
May I suggest some additional formatting? It might be easier to search the FAQ if the questions were listed by themselves and also below with the answers, since the list has grown quite a bit and some of the answers are necessarily a bit longer. Its a little daunting when viewing on a smaller screen.

E.g.

1. Is Chromcast cool?

2. Can Chromecast be rooted?

...

N. This is question N?

---

1. Is Chromecast cool? Yes.

2. Can Chromecast be rooted? Yes, but check here (post link) for bla bla..

...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yes. I have two actively in use on my network. They will appear in a list by name when you hit the Cast button.

I agree, it's daunting on small screen (and Tapatalk doesn't seem to 100% support nested bullet lists).

Normally I would put an index at the top but I haven't figured out how to add anchor links in posts (happy for someone to school me here...) so I wasn't sure whether it would add value or just increase the amount of scrolling needed.

Also considering collapsing the links into linked text rather than raw links which get truncated on display anyway.

EDIT: Cleaned up the links a lot. Will revisit the table of contents when I have more time.
[Google Chromecast] MopheusDG:
I do agree, but youtube 3D is based on Side By Side or OU conversion, and I think Netflix 3D is really 120 hz frame by frame 3D... so the question is, is Chromcast capable of handling 120 Hz to even start thinking on Netflix 3D ?

Thanks for this FAQ, is great to see Chromecast is starting to grow.
[Google Chromecast] travisjustin:
You can use realplayer cloud to cast local media instead of paying for avia. Noticed the FAQ doesn't mention it ;)
[Google Chromecast] smitherston:
rooted chromecast question

If you have a rooted chromecast and a un rootable chromecast is there some way to wipe the unrootable chromecast and copy a image from your rooted chromecast onto it thus rooting the unrootable chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Not that I know of. The bootloader is write-protected and requires a specific unlock to well, unlock.

I guess maybe if you had mad electronics skills, an EEPROM programmer, and enough time, but that seems a lot of work for a $35 device, and this is coming from someone who added an HDMI-Component converter and downscaler to get Chromecast working on a standard definition TV. :p
