[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I'm still thinking that Knox will need to be patched/disabled during the root process (or something along those lines). Samsung claims the the fuse trigger is only capable of being triggered from 0x0 to 0x1 and not back again. So to me the answersolution probably will have to come with segregating Knox from the bootloader/system altogether. It'd be funny if devs could use Knox against itself by segregating it in the very "sandbox" it creates, if that makes sense

Any 4.1.2 stock tar or was it a specific one? also is there only one version of CF auto root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cr1130:
Help please!

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 auto 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:crying:

downgrade from 4.3 back to 4.1.1

sir, i'm new to this forum and here's my situation:

i have a sgh-t889 t-mobile locked, stock 4.1.2 (UVBMB4) which i erroneously updated to android 4.3 via kies.

i cannot do network unlock because based on my forum searches, only android 4.1.1 can be network unlocked via the method outlined here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176721

i have odin 3.07 and have already downloaded the following roms:

1. T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_T889UVUCMK7_HOME.tar.md5

1.68 GB (1,814,261,839 bytes) (1,771,742 KB)

1.25 GB (1,345,341,538 bytes) (1313811 KB)

can i reflash my sgh-t889 to 4.1.1 safely and do my own unlock?

thanks for any clarification and more power.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabresfan:
If you can flash back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 then you can flash back to 4.1.1 from 4.1.2. That's how I unlocked my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfeKarma:
I flashed to 4.1.1 directly and this worked. I had flashed ota 4.3 rooted the phone, then jedi X 4.3 rom and it messed up my phone bad. Would lose data all the time and massive battery drain. Now I'm back on 4.3 stock rooted.

android 4.3 to 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 re-flash failure

thanks for the suggestion but the 'com' portion of odin 3.07 would not lit up and the following ROMs could not be flashed:

4.1.2 = SGH-T889_TMB_T889UVBMB4-teshxx.tar.md5

4.1.1 = KIES_HOME_T889UVALJ1_T889TMBALJ1_260018_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

the 'com' portion of odin would only lit up if the sgh-t889 is connected to the pc under usb mode. it would not lit up under download mode.

i have this other 4.1.1 ROM which i did not test yet as of this moment as i'm waiting for more information:

4.1.1 = root66_root66_TMO_T889UVALJ1.tar.md5TMO_T889UVALJ1

from kies update, i have also saved my new updated ROM:

knox counter was tripped.

afaik, wifi is okay, able to browse my wifi network

i have not yet tested a non-tmo sim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scariola:
Since you already tripped the knox counter, you can flash the VALL4 tmobile modem and try the same unlock steps in the thread.

The specific modem was all that was required to unlock the t889. I unlocked on 4.1.2 only flashing the older modem and following the unlock steps. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GhostSamuraiX:
I found how to delete Knox. Open Knox, hit your settings button, and choose "About Knox". There is an Uninstall option there. That got rid of mine! I am running a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android version 4.3.

Hope this helps!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Bear in mind, everyone, this ONLY deletes the Knox related apps and security settings within the ROM.

It does NOT delete the Knox security in the bootloader and the Knox flag showing the phone has been altered will still be present.

This is a good sollution to removing the security if you don't need it, but will not help with warranty purposes.

Flashed the hell out of my Note 3 with the Polish MK2 version. Noticed nothing new. Didn't fix a terrible bug either: casting music with Play Music via Chromecast. (Streaming stops when you turn the screen of the Note off)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
I think you are still missing something - Note 3 is not a Google product and Samsung has no obligation to fix products from other companies. If there was a major streaming bug in Note 3 that would be also obvious in stuff like AllShare Cast.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikkelrev69:
You can probably NOT revert to MJ7 due to the new bootloader that came with MJ3 and onwards..

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

What are you talking about?? The reply just informs that this bug is not a Samsung firmware issue. The bug is not Samsungs to fix. It is a chromecast issue and then its Googles to fix.

Are you paranoid?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] appelflap:
Oh wow... lol!

Well whether it is a Samsung bug or a Play Music / Chromecast bug isn't decidable. The guy isn't an expert. In another post he just fired some random hypotheses. And now he is saying that it is not a Samsung bug.

But let it be, xda isn't what it is used to be.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikkelrev69:
I'm on MK2 for days also, but am not experiencing any battery drain at all. I have a feel that it's uses even less battery than MJ7

I'm rooted and using "greenify app" with "xposed.."
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mwyann:
Just updated to MK2 from MJ7 here too. Didn't experience any battery drain, but I have some curious behaviour now: I flashed this ROM with Mobile ODIN Pro, and when the phone boots again I can use ES Explorer just fine (root mode). But when I reboot, I cannot use it anymore, it just says my phone isn't rooted... but it is! (other root explorers works just fine, xposed etc). I tried flashing again and I still get root acces in ES Explorer only once. Some hint though: at first, I don't get any KNOX alert, but when I reboot, I get those. I don't know if this is related or not... but even after uninstalling everything KNOX-related in the system/app folder, it still doesn't work.

Well at least I have root, and I can use other explorers, but that bugs me, and I love my ES Exporer! Anyone have any hints?

Edit: Update for SuperSU v1.86 fixed the problem (Fixed non-priv root on some SELinux/Enforcing devices).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Mate, the Note 3 is the only device in my entire life that i just dont want to root, considering that there are loads of people like me, your post is extremely irrelevant, especially Thread wise.

Your input will help only the curious and nothing to lose ones. I've personally used Greenify my past 3 devices, i know its worth, but still, irrelevant.

PS, ML2 is out, it is Singapore and yet it has XXU, why is this so confusing?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikkelrev69:
What is irrelevant? It's about MK2 ain't it?

Give me a break man. Is your consern that peopole get tempted to root?? This is xda man.

I did inform about using greenify couse maybe it was crucial to the battery drain. I have never run MJ6, MJ7, MK2 without root, so I wouldn't know the battery drain then.

But my device run like a dream like this and I would recomend it in fact. Especially if people are suffering with battery drain.

But everyting one do to it's own device is ones own decision and responsibility. One should always do some research before doing something to the device.

Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

I see no rudeness

Hi, I don't think he was rude and his answer makes sense. I work in customer service and I am used to hear customers complaint when we cannot fix things with a touch of a button, you really remembered me of one who was in plan with no connectivity at all, mumbling and cursing so much that Satan hide himself, because he couldn't download anything onto his phone.

I am pretty sure you will figure out an answer to your question, since you are a recognized developer.

I have just downloaded this firmware and will update my Note 3 using Odin, what can I loose but root access.

Stay calm and try it yourselves.

Take care buddies! :)

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Hi there,

In fact, I want to thank you because I got some ideas from you, I don't know what that greenify thing is, I saw it available as an Xposed module and now that you pointed out that it helps to save battery somehow, I will check it out.

Your English is good, keep it up, is not my native language either, but this is XDA and I think everybody is welcome here, even those who tend to disagree but do not propose ideas.

Take care :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
nothing you say is wrong mate, not at all, it's just misplaced. Your effort should focus on a brief explanation how you got your results, all in a new thread. Every time a stock rom is released, all you can do to help is flash it and report, compare and contrast and then throw feedback.

im a person with battery problems on my note 3, even though i have the necessary skills to root my phone, i'm just not teased to lose the warranty knowing how flippy samsung can be (emmc bug note 2 and S2). There are loads of people like you that root, but also loads of people like me that dont.

All what's needed in a thread that informs us about a new rom is whether things have changed, not how to avoid it and root and use and use that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikkelrev69:
I disagree. I only wrote about possible change in the new FW.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Thank you!

"Greenify" is an app that hibernates other apps by your choise. You need to be rooted.

You can even hibernate system apps but then you need "xposed module" installer app as well.

"greenify" app was very helpful for instance with the "exchange" app draining battery in earlier FWs.

Be aware rooting trips knox counter and avoids warranty.

Except for RDLV method.

This is off topic and I apologize for that.

So I've been having this odd camera problem for a few months now. Every picture I would take had a little dot in the center that was a bit darker than the rest of the picture. Naturally I assumed this was due to dust on the lens, and made an attempt to clean it, to no avail. I tried twice, yet this particle remained. Now I have my replacement for the issue, and it is completely gone. No black dot on the old phone at all. What the heck? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Good question, it is a bit of annoyance.

I poked around a bit. Simply renaming /system/etc/autorun.iso won't do it.

it looks like this is tied up with KiesUsbObserver and KiesUsbManager - part of

/system/framework/services.odex

in class(es) com/android/server/KiesConnectivity/* (UsbMode, KiesUsbObserver, KiesUsbManager)

here's a partial logcat of a plug-in event to a PC:

03-07 00:07:07.716 1138 1225 W KiesUsbObserver: getUsbMode() -> bCDFS: false

note the 30 second delay between startCDFSEjectTimer and stopCDFSEjectTimer.

I decomposed the odex file, but I am not an expert .smali file reader. I suppose there are two options here - shorten the "wait for something from the PC" timer to only a few seconds; or modify the system server class so that it does not start the KiesUsbObserver at all.

(If anyone is good at repackaging smali classes, I can point them at some hunches developed after my massive 20 minute career at looking at smali code. :D LOL )

Maybe this could be accomplished through a Wanam exposed module.

In either case, this looks like a (putative) fix or mod involves rooted phones only.

No one seems to post polls in these forums. I think they show alot of information at a glance. We should start using them.

This is an opinion poll to help all newbies like me to understand which WWE ROM most people prefer and which one is the most stable. The purpose is to help people decide which one to install. So this vote is for the techies, aka professional Universal Users who have tried at least three versions and have decided on the best version. Thanks for your time and expertise.

If you have time to post please be specific on why you choose that ROM over the others.

Question:

1. The higher the number the better the rom? For example; Is 1.20.34 better than 1.13.38 WWE?

2. If you install an operating system (jasjar) can you install a different rom (like tmobile)?

3. In Laymans terms can you describe what a ROM is and what functions does it serve.
