[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Yea same guy. I'm definitely going to wipe it. The reason I installed CM11 in the first place is because I was getting interested and trying to learn more about security - so I was hoping that I could gather a little more data on this and see if I could figure where I went wrong. I guess the lesson is the same one at the beginning of every spy movie: don't trust anyone. Especially the guy who says that to you.

get droidwall, firewall to block apps that don't or shouldn't access the net, I did this to block dolphin browser using my data when I wasn't aware, some apps send yourself txts, you notice this when receiving them in flight mode.

perhaps restore to an earlier backup.

I thought xposed framework had security flaws unless they fixed that, one reason why I never tried

Don't you agree to c.m statistics when you flash C.M roms now if so it collects data and has to be sent some how.

Never looked into it myself and haven't run a c.m rom for a while but it's worth looking at.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Caffeinatrix:
I rooted my phone using CWM and flashed TriForceROM a few months ago, and everything was wonderful till about a month or so afterward, and now at random when it's idle it'll crash? I'll go to unlock it, the Menu and Back buttons on the bottom will flash, and then I'll have to wait a few minutes and press the power button (sometimes a couple times) and after vibrating once or twice it'll boot up to the Samsung splash screen.

I managed to do some research and found it might be just because it's rooted, but since the problem didn't start until a good bit after the root I was thinking maybe (hopefully) it's something else? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Any help appreciated ^_^

I will assume you are running KT's kernel because that is a known problem for some people on his kernel.

Reflash Tri force and choose change mods. Choose stock and all will be well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Caffeinatrix:
I might have, I don't think I went in and changed much. I'll do that. Thanks!!

Just checked (remembered you can look at the kernel through settings. D'oh), and it is indeed KT's kernel. Yay for being able to fix it and still have the ROM! :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] r0b458:
I'm currently trying to build CM for my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 and I've just finished the repo sync. How would I go about adding halo after repo sync and before compiling the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pcglue:
I bought a t-mobile S4 and discovered it came rooted already. Is this normal? It was from an authorized t-mobile reseller. I don't mind the fact that it's rooted, but what precautions can I take that some malware/spyware isn't installed? Is running a scan with malwarebytes good enough? The reseller said it was rooted to remove some bloatware, but how can I make sure nothing bad was installed? Since the phone is rooted, that also means I can't receive OTA updates, is that right?

Thanks for any info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
It's not normal if you got it from a T-mobile store. An independent but authorized site is different. Maybe someone rooted it but returned it or traded in. If you're really concern just Odin flashed the stock firmware.

☞ Sent from here☜???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Odin back to stock would deffinately work.

But you don't really have to do that. You could just put on a custom recovery, and flash any rom.

Any spyware that a previous user put on the device you have to reside in th esystem partition. Flashing any other rom would wipe out the system partition and installing a fresh one over top.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Unrooting

Yes a rooted phone will not be able to update using OTA or KIES.

There is another easier way to Unroot the phone, just click on superSU

then click on the settings tab and scroll down til you see "Full Unroot"

"cleanup for permanent unroot" (you still will be able to re-root the phone).

That way there is no reason to flash any roms unless you don't like

what you already have, also even without root you still can use

a custom recovery if that's what you want to do.

After unrooting you will no longer be able to use any apps or

anything else which requires root access.

Good luck!

Would I be able to use tmobile's wifi calling if I use a rom other than stock?

Thanks everybody for the help and useful info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
As long as it's a TouchWiz rom based on the T Mobile Stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pcglue:
Well, I just found out some other disturbing info. The IMEI on my S4 is 0. It's obviously different from the sticker on the back. And on 2 other S4's I bought at the same time, the IMEI's look valid, but are different from the stickers on the back as well.

I bought these from an independent tmobile store. Why would the phones I bought be rooted and have non-matching IMEI's? Do I have stolen/black market/refurbished phones? I thought I got a discount because of the quantity I bought (5 total, it was for 2 families), but now I think there's something shady about these phones. I don't have ready access to the last 2 phones I bought in this batch, but I suspect they are rooted with non-matching IMEI's as well.

What are the implications of this? I would think these phones are not under Samsung or Tmobile warranty, even though the guy at the store says they are. And in the future, would Tmobile help me (unlocking or I don't know what else) if I am using these phones? They should still help with account/plan changes, but I imagine there are probably some things they won't help with. I'm thinking of returning these phones to avoid future hassles now. Or am I being too paranoid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
This is where your worries should stop.

You bought these from a store. You have a receipt. Take them back to the store and tell them to fix it.

If they won't, take the matter up with T Mobile and tell them that one of their authorized retailers (if it says T Mobile it's an authorized retailer, even if i'ts an independantly owned shop) is selling stolen phones. I promise you that T Mobile will take this very seriously, though you may have to get past the front line customer service rep to find someone who cares.

If it's not a T MObile authorized retailer and it's just a random genric cell phone shop, then T Mobile isn't going to care. But the cops will.

I'd also file a complaint with your local consumer protection agency.

It's one thing is a back ally deal from a guy in a trench coat who started the transaction with "Pssst....hey, buddy...wanna buy a cheap cell phone?" goes south. It's another thing entirely when it's a legitimate store that's ripping you off and cahrging to sale taxes and stuff on tope of your purchase.

And if they didn't know what they were doing when they sold you stolen / broken / semi-refurbished goods, well quite frankly that's their problem. It's not your problem. They told you they were selling you new phones. If they sold you not new phones, they have defrauded you. It doesn't matter if they knew or not.

The IMEI's on the stickers on the phones should match the receipt. That will be proof that you're not pulling a switcheroo on the store.

If they don't match the receipt and you left the store with them anyway, there is a certain amount of Caveat Emptor that applies. (Latin for "Let the Buyer Beware"). You might be out of luck.

Hi

My phone freezes 10 seconds after boot up. I installed some games before that. I don't know its because of the new games or something else?

Is there anyway that i can disable them within that 10 seconds that i have before it freezes?

I did some search online and "wipe cache partition" in CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 and "reboot system now" but still having the same problem.

I don't want to lose any data on my phone. Is there anyway that you guys can help me?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] twex1970:
Hello,

I really need help and/or suggestions. Here's the situation. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze sgh-t769 that at one time Kies suggested to upgrade firmware. So, it upgraded to ice cream sandwich. Few months after, i wanted to root my device. so i downloaded odin and the suggested other downloads and followed instruction. Long story short, it bricked my phone. So i downloaded the needed rom SGH-T769-UVLB7-k0nane and with Odin again, and brought things back to supposedly factory setting. Except, that it rom now is gingerbread. Here's the exact reading from device setting and about phone:

Android version: 2.3.6

Baseband version: T769UVMB1

Kernel vernsion: 2.6.35.11

Build #: GINGERBREAD.UVLB7

When I connect to Keis now it states"it's not supported by Kies". Device Software update stated, it's up to date.

I really would like to get ICS back into my device. How can i do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
What are you trying to do, stay on ics stock or go up to custom firmware?

All you got to do is install a rom through recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] twex1970:
thank you for your reply. What i'm trying to do is get ics back. i'm not sure what rom to use for this. i got some, but end up gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Somcom3X:
I had the same issue when I first got the blaze. I had flash a ROM with ICS tw to get yet back.
[General Questions and Answers] PMikeP:
I know this question really belongs in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 developer's forum, But since I'm new here, I'm prevented from asking in the proper forum until I ask ten questions here.

So - I'm running v2.7 of the ANGi Ultra-Smooth kernel on stock 4.2.2. I tripped across PurePerformance scripts and am wondering if the PP scripts are compatible with the Ultra-Smooth scripts? For example, Ultra-smooth allows setting a swap file. So, apparently, does PP.

I installed PP, but it actually seemed to make my tab run slower. So I restored via Nandroid.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] graybo:
I have an o2 Exec and frequently have the problem that the screen goes white and I can't see anything. It tends to happen either when I reopen phone after making or receiving a call (I always have the screen facing in when taking or making calls), or when I open the screen to check a message. I get the feeling that it is linked to the phone app. Its done it since I had the phone, and upgrading the firmware hasn't affected it.

I have found that the best way to get it back is to remove the power and put it back in, or just connect it to power. but sometimes i can spend 10 minutes messing around before it comes back.

Has anyone else had this problem, or know what might be causing it? I don't have any extra software installed other than what it comes with.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:

it happens to me with cpuxcsalar installed, removed it, all back in business.

do you have this soft installed?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] graybo:
Rip, I don't have any extra software installed which is what makes it so strange. Gooroo, yes I have a 1Gb SD card in, I'll see how I go with out it for a while. Its certainly something I never thought of. Its a big let down though if that is the culprit.

I'll update this after I've done some testing.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
I hope your SD is under warranty still, mind you they are getting really cheap now anyway. We only discovered the fault after getting the wifes wizard changed under warranty and then finding exactly the same problem with the new one too. Seemed to happen after the device had gone to sleep on its own, then when waking it up she would get a white screen. Most of the time it was battery out to get it back working again. If she pressed the power button to put it to sleep and then woke it up again it worked fine, and if she let the screen go off and then brought it back again before it had gone to suspend it was fine too. Really weird.

Anyway let us know how you get on :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] graybo:
Well I've been running for a few days without my SDcard installed and I'm still getting the same problem. It seems to be definitely linked to the phone app. I usually have the Exec open on my desk, then if I make a call and close the lid to use it like a normal phone, when I open it again the screen is white. Normally, connecting the power, then disconecting it again kicks it back into life.

Very strange!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
Sounds like you need a replacement under warranty. You have tried the latest rom, you are running next to nothing in the way of additional applications and you have removed your SD card. I guess you can only try a hardware reset to see if the problem is still there, as O2 are going to ask you to do it anyway. If that fails to sort it get it replaced under warranty.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.monteiro:
Let's see, I've rooted my phone a few days ago and set a partition to link2sd, everything was ok, i've tryed to use a swap partition as well that didn't work, but phone still ran well. Reading the tutorial discussion further i've noticed that it was rather old and swap partitions were unnecessary with Android 4 and up, I've turned off my phone in order to remove my sd card and format it again but prior to removing battery i've noticed that the screen flashed and a bunch of scrambled pixels appeared, since this happened every time i turn my phone on only a bunch of static square patterns are shown.

By pressing volume down+home+power i can acess a screen to download Other OS, it's the only thing that seems to work. i can't acess CWM recovery or anything.

Is the mini dead or there's a solution? Anything with Odin or the MIni Toolkit? Couldn't find anything helpful through search.

I've tryed both maclaw's and the official stock for my i8190L but both give me the same 'No Pit Partition' error. I've been searcing all over XDA and the web and no one seems to have a solution for this or the pit file for the L model, only for the other models.. looks like i'm screwed.

The procedure on Odin is simply adding the firmware .md5 file to the PDA section, plug the phone in 'download mode' and hit start, right? I'm new to samsung flashing, sorry for the noobish question.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockknee:
As long as you can boot to 'download mode' it isn't hardbricked. Have tou tried to flash again some recovery with odin? If Odin doesn't help you can always try using Kies to get device to completely stock state. All you have to do is boot device to download mode, connect via usb to PC and open Kies. There is option to "reset&update to latest firmware" or sth like that. That has saved many sammy devices in tricky situtations, even tho Kies as software sucks :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
It depends on what firmware you're on. Stay away from you tube.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
First off I would review xda rules/polices as a new member

Second, wouldn't start 2 threads 6 minutes apart in 2 different sections

That said, you need to determine your build first, under phone settings.

The build will determine how to root and what you can and can't do.

Next, read, read, read on xda, not you tube--

There are beginner threads here

Post your phone version and carrier when asking q's. There are several versions on this forum and that also impacts what you can do

Good Luck--:good:

Lastly make backups every step along the way, including your EFS and put them on pc also
