okay i see

and i dont blame them for not wanting to reveal there methods as there is obviously some sort of money in doing this for them

and if they opened it up to xda devs then anybody can make another root process and kingo would loose all the traffic on there site

wondering why no xda devs can figure out root process when china can

guess shina smarter again lol

anyways thanks for all the info and help

love this forum
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vlex26:
Hello,

Recently soft bricked my Note 3 when trying some Google Wallet mods. Wasn't aware of KNOX and tried to flash CMW via Odin to try fix my issue but ended up setting the KNOX Warrenty flag to 0x1. I have since reflashed my stock rom but i noticed when i went back into Download mode, system status and Current Binary are still set to custom. i have performed a factory reset and nothing has changed it. Am i doing something incorrect with the reflashing or is this due to KNOX?

Thanks,

VLEX
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hart.indodroid:
you must be wipe factory data and wipe dalvic chace after reflashing in recovery mode and reboot system now again

if I help you pleaae click thanks button
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CalcProgrammer1:
Knox flag is a permanent flag, it's a fuse in the CPU that once blown can't be reset (at least not without a Samsung internal tool). Everything will still look and work properly but the status will forever be marked as custom/Knox 1.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vlex26:
Bugger :(. Would TriangleAway work with resetting the flash counter? ive used that previously on my S3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CalcProgrammer1:
Nope, this is a new system altogether. The older phones used a flash counter stored in flash memory so as long as you could find the flash counter's location, you could reset it. E-fuses are basically just that, fuses. They come from the factory in one state and are permanent. Also known as one-time programmable read-only memory (OTP ROM). When you trip the Knox counter it blows a permanent fuse in the CPU. Now some users reported that they had their Knox counter reset at a store - there could be another section of the OTP memory used for some other value that tells it which OTP location (which "fuse") is the one holding Knox flag status and by burning another fuse could reset the counter, at least until every fuse has been blown (usually there are many hundreds of KB OTP memory so it's a big number, depends how they've programmed everything, also the knox status is only 1 or 2 bits - kernel and recovery flags).

That said nobody knows how exactly it works, we don't have source code for bootloader so right now there's no known hack. If you look in this forum there's a bounty of over $2000 for anyone who manages to figure it out as it's obviously something people want. Personally I don't really care, I blew the knox flag soon after I got it so I could flash a recovery and kernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
You can simply install Wanam xposed and you can set status to official in there, it works in Stock kernel only, you can install now any custom rom you want but install after stock kernel and you always will be official.

Ill give that a try. Ill report back.

Yeah i flagged mine a few days after buying but as i mentioned earlier, i wasn't aware of the added security. Well, hopefully someone can get around it. Whoever it is will defiantly get a nice pay cheque from it

Hey guys today when I turned my phone on nothing happened it showed the htc screen then turned off. I loaded recovery and noticed that everything on my SD card was wiped. I'm thinking even the OS is gone as well because it will not boot past the HTC screen. It stays there and after about a min or so the phone turns off. Is there a way to install the stock os in fastboot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Provide more info please. What ROM were you on? Were you on a custom kernel? Had you made any changes to the device recently? What are your bootloader details?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] usmarine0622:
I didn't have a custom rom installed, I was on latest stock. I was rooted and my bootloader was unlocked. I didn't make any changes to my device
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That's very odd, devices don't usually just wipe automatically. Anyway, just try mounting your sd card in TWRP recovery and copying a ROM across from your PC.

Try wiping the sdcard again and then mounting it.

It was mounted, the problem was everything was wiped from it, I managed to get my phone back up and running by using the RUU. thanks for the help guys

I downloaded Game Killer on my rooted Galaxy s2. It says I need to allow root access. I am new to rooting and I do not know how to allow root access.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UltimaniumX:
First off, you should probably do some research on your own regarding what rooting is and what it MEANS.

Second, I have no idea what Game Killer is and what it does. It's not in the Play Store, so where are you getting this app and what does it do?

Third, If you give an app root access, you better be SURE what it needs root access for. It can cause some serious problems to you and/or your phone.

If you still want to try rooting your phone, give this thread a read. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2150175

If you get bored reading it, then rooting isn't for you.

Rooting is simple just flash the file.

GameKiller is an app that changes the values/lock the values of any game or app to the required no#. For example if you want to to freeze the no. of moves in candy crush game it can.

For this app ROOT is required.

Hi there,

I have a weird problem with my phone's speaker ,

My speaker sound very buzzy when I am using it (playing music, notifications, phone conversations, etc....)

Also I plugged my speaker into another galaxy s3 phone and weirdly it was working fine.

I did try to plug another speaker to my phone but still...

What are you suggesting to do?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have issues with my google maps. When I am using, I can see myself as a dot on the road, however recently, I see myself NOT on the road...but about 2-4 blocks over from the road I am using.

Same with using the freeway....you can clearly see the freeway on the map (big thick line on map) and my dot location is like 4 blocks left or right of the road...

It his were true, I would be driving into houses and buildings....

Is there any way the GPS can focus down more to my exact location? It makes it very hard when it is telling me to make a turn...but on my screen, if I do that, I would be running into someones house or wall...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you tried reinstalling Google Maps? Secondly, tighten the screws on the back of your phone. This should make sure you have the best GPS connection.

Hi,

Is there a way I can disable wifi app with tasker? I have it set where once wifi is connected it turns off data and exit task turns on data.

Thanks if u can help me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
I'm not sure if I fully understand what are you trying to achieve.

Do you want to modify your task to automatically enable wifi calling when wifi is connected and disable it when wifi disconnects?

If so, it's redundant, because wifi calling already does that for you, once you enable it in the settings.

Also, again, if I understood you correctly, the whole task seems redundant. Data will disconnect automatically when wifi connects, and vice versa.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
i understand your point about the wifi calling and it makes sense.

i dont know if its just my phone but data does not turn off automatically when wifi is turned on or connected.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFanboy:
Which one do you prefer and why? Samsung really picked up their game with the keyboard on the Note 3 and I like some things about the Samsung Keyboard better and some of Swiftkey. I usually lean towards using swiftkey cuz I paid for it lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Swiftkey because I can reduce it. The smallest size swiftkey is fine on the large Note screen. The Samsung keyboard takes up way too much screen space.

Both have good swiping and text prediction.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tWoBrO:
I prefer SwiftKey.

Pros:

- Can type exclamation/interrogation points very very fast with a finger swipe. What a big big mistake Samsung did here. I have used SwifKey in other phones and love it, but i actually liked the stock keyboard but i couldn't stand to long press every single time i wanted to type a exclamation point!

- Flow is faster compared to Swipe on Samsung keyboard. It "hangs" for a second, when swiping multiple words, before it puts the works on the text box.

- Resizable

- Themes

Cons:

- Hate how slow delete is compared to Samsung keyboard.

Can't comment on the prediction accuracy on stock keyboard, but in Swiftkey is very good.

I'm probably forgetting something, but this is pretty much it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyshanks:
Lack of number row and emoticons killed it for me. Heard it was coming in an update soon, but til then I'm sticking to stock
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antt00:
These 2 functions are already available on swiftkey beta version. Google for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyshanks:
Nice, didn't know that. I'll give it a try
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
Sammy keyboard all the way for me. Earlier I used touchpal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawaisa:
Sammy only because it has the number row. I heard swiftkey is adding this feature but i'm not completely sure
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimslim:
Like antt00 said, check out their website the new beta includes number row and it's free. I'm testing it now and so far no bugs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOZX:
I like swiftkey but cant figure out how to remove predictive row. I dont like using predictive but being able to resize and make it smaller is an excellent feature. I prefee using less screen real estate for the keyboard so being able to remove predictive suggestions would be good
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tantan911:
I prefer A.I Keyboard , it's the best
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithOYS:
Definitely Swiftkey Keyboard.

Why I chose Swiftkey over Samsung keyboard

- Highly accurate predictions so I can type really rapidly on the keyboard (I love this the best)

- Eye-candy themes to choose from

Now that Swiftkey Beta 4.5 has came out with Emojis and added a dedicated number row, all the more I'm leaning towards Swiftkey. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowy57:
ABSOLUTLY swiftkey is the best from all market place
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lofi01:
what about google keyboard?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalegg:


The new SwiftKey keyboard has the number row and you can put the direction keys at the bottom. It is the best. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The one thing that isn't good about the SwiftKey beta is that when the number row is active, the popup numbers ought to hide themselves in the top row of the keyboard, but they don't. It's very distracting. I was going to post it as a feature request, but I found that others had mentioned it as well, so all I could do was just agree that it should be changed.
[Galaxy S III General] Tidus32x:
Hi Guys... semi noob here.

I have a gt-i9300 that I have been messing around with, and I seem to have lost the IMEI number, im getting004999010640000 / 06 when I dial *#06#. I have the actual IMEI behind the battery, but no idea how to put it back in

I am currently stock with root (cf auto)

Things ive tried:

EFS Pro - Just kept putting it in factory mode

NV-Items Read/Write v1.0 - Failed... phone does not answer

something I found on google using adb shell - did nothing at all

flashed many stock rom's / Modem's / RIL

TWRM Recovery wiped EVERYTHING to the point where twrm warned me about rebooting due to no OS installed o_O

I am currently reverted to stock:

Build: JZO54K.I82XXELLA

Baseband: I9300NELK2

Kernel: 3.0.31-742798

Android: 4.1.2

Root: CF-Autoroot flashed with Odin 3.07

Branded and Simlocked with H3G (Three United Kingdom)

This is a UK model.

I really need some help here as I would like to get this up and running for carrier unlock (code requested from Three) so I can use my O2 sim in it)

PLEASE can anyone tell me how to get my IMEI back without a "box" (I don't have £130+ to spend!!!!)

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
If my memory serves me right you have to flash a stock firmware and you shoukd get your ime back
[Galaxy S III General] nomaj:
Did you flashed any 4.3 or 4.1.2 with new EFS partition format.. if so find that rom and install modem corresponding to that rom.

Also - do you have previously EFS backup?
[Galaxy S III General] Tidus32x:
Hiya.

I did flash unbranded stock 4.3 and I have no efs backup
[Galaxy S III General] nomaj:
I'm not sure but i think that you need to go back on 4.3 - i hope that you are made update to v2 of EFS during that previous flashing.
[Galaxy S III General] Tidus32x:
I believe I did go to EFS v2 at that point. Will flashing the 4.3 rom put my IMEI right again?
[Galaxy S III General] nexy33:
flashing 4.3 or a modem from emg4 onwards 4.3 changed the efs partition to efs v2 firwares with modems prior to emg4 cannot read this hence duff imei when you flash back an older stock rom.
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
Just back to 4.3 and all will be fine. If u didnt make backup of EFS v1 you cant back to 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] Tidus32x:
well, just flashed back to 4.3 stock (no root, full details below) and still false IMEI. I am assuming that until I get my IMEI back, the I9300 won't connect to the network at all?

Device details:

Android: 4.3

Build: JSS15J.I9300XXUGMJ9

Baseband: I9300XXUGMJ9

Kernel: 3.0.31-1902166

IMEI: 004999010640000

IMEI SV: 01

Flashed to 4.3 stock, then boot into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache

any other ideas?

You have a serious problem then. If my emergency zip didn't work and you don't have /efs backup then you're screwed.
[Galaxy S III General] Tidus32x:
Is there no way to manually enter your IMEI like e=with the US versions? (NV reader writer etc)

This violates xda's rules. Even if there is a way, I'm not going to tell you how to do so. It's illegal.

Hello all I am trying to customize a calendar zooper widget. I want to highlight (color) only the current day's appointments (appt). Example:

Today is Friday, Dec 13th

Appt @ 4 pm for p/u dry cleaning

Tomorrow is Saturday, Dec 14th

Appt @ 9 am meeting for coffee

I want the current days appts to be colored and not the others. I can change the color but the problem is if I delete Friday's appts then tomorrow's appts become colored I do not want this to happen. Only turn the current day's appts colored on that day.

Is this possible and am I even explaining it correctly?

Hello All.. After over 5 years of flashing I think I have finally bricked my device.. I am normally great with directions and the forum however I think the latest 4.3 update got me twisted up. Odin'd back to stock and upgraded OTA. All was well.. Then I attempted Chainfire's CF root.. All was well and I froze on a phone call.. I battery pulled and now I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".. I tried to go through Kies emergency recovery and it wont accept my serial numbers.. I called t-mobile they told me I need to bring it to a smasung dealer to get "flashed"... I'm at a lost now.. One thing else is when I access download mode I see this Knox Warranty Void : 1.. Does this mean I'm done? I've been trying to read up on this knox and it seems scary to say the least.. yet nothing I read has helped me.. After hors of searching and missing the football game I decided to look to the forums.. Any help is very much appreciated. :crying:

I tried to ODIN back to stock with several .tar files (UVBMB4 and UVALJ1) it fails and shows unsupported version(in red) on the device

I see a lot of great devs working on android 4.4 port and thank you but i think that is better to try and fix notification delay on 4.3roms (slimbean for example) .Since 4.3 roms are already great but they have just that one problem witch is draiving me crazy so why not fix it and that way we can have great 4.3 roms instead of trying to port 4.4 android ? Dont grill me for writing this but i think it will be better this way.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
For me personally the notification lag isn't that much of a problem. And the ROMs are kind of stable as of now. So why work on a bug which has been not fixed since the beginning, while moving on to 4.4.x could bring better experience? :) And there are quite some problems (for some users) with wakelocks. Hope they are gone with kitkat :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] EB20XY:
In latest CM10.2 from 13.12. are some fixes concerning wakelock problems. Perhaps you just should make a clean install with that

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ezet:
Agreed.

It was my intention to work on this but i don't have the time nowadays to work on the phone, might give it another go in the future.

The bug is known and it's not just a lag. The lag is caused because the whole mediaserver thingy is crashing.

Anyway i'll bring it up in the dev forum once again..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Thank you :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Exactly. I've just encountered this yesterday when debugging an app and was like wtf about the crash. The issue is in this line. The function pointer is null-checked, so I assume we have that function in official blobs, but when it calls it, it just doesn't work. We should add MR0_AUDIO_BLOB guard to that ifdef and try.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ezet:
Ah, thanks a lot Adam. That makes sense indeed. So you suggest MR0_AUDIO_BLOB := true at BoardConfig.mk and it might work?

You reached to this conclusion with addr2line to debug?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
No, we already have MR0_AUDIO_BLOB in BoardConfig.mk, I mean the code must be fixed there.

No, for addr2line you need libs with debug symbols and these vary in each build. You would have to build a package, flash that, check the memory address in logcat and then use that with the debug libs and addr2line. You would get the same result.

I've already encountered similar issues many times that's why I can say what's the error here. In the log you can see that actually not the AudioPolicyService crashes, but an unknown memory region elsewhere. That is the proprietary audio library. So either the function it tries to call doesn't exist or it crashes internally. I think the latter, because the pointer is null-checked before calling, but can't be sure, because you can't determine where it exactly crashes in an unknown address space.
