[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rmanne:
As many of you know, the WiFi on the official 4.3 flashable ROMS is blocked by the new bootloader. I'm not sure if this will fix it completely (I downloaded http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975560 the latest one from that, extracted and flashed each of those through Heimdall, but if the bootloader is the only problem, then you should be able to fix just that).

So once you have heimdall installed (cross-platform) and added to your path, run the following script:

heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin

^yes, it's case sensitive

Note: you can't use your OS to boot you into the bootloader. It's actually not the same as using the button combo to boot to the bootloader. Heimdall will not work if the text in the top left doesn't appear.

If you want to download from that url and extract, extract the .tar.md5 file, you'll see a few files, and then terminal, cd to wherever you extracted to and then run:

heimdall flash --TZSW tz.img --BOOT boot.img --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --RADIO modem.bin --RECOVERY recovery.img --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --SYSTEM system.img

Hi hello i am running 4 1 1 version of android on my device and i would like to update it on latest version. Now if i update i loose all my programs ? Do i loose my root access and if so i can re root it back again with the new version of software ?

Now if i want to install a cusrom rom i think i loose my programs and i need to download them all again i assume and i need also to root that rom also ? Or is already rooted cos is custom rom ? Thank you and sorry if inpost in wromg place or even for neelwbie questions

Love and Light TeO!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
If you update via OTA after rooting, you WILL lose root. You may however root it again (provided rooting methods are available for the newer software version). You may or may not lose your apps (depending on the type of OTA update) after the update. So make sure to do a good backup first!

Flashing a custom ROM will almost always require you to do a full wipe (or format) of your phone, which will remove all your apps as well as personal data (excluding your files). You DON'T NEED to root custom ROMs, they are already rooted.

And yes, you have asked in the right place. :D

greetings everybody

root problem :P

hello...

1st ... i would like to say ... this is not my 1st time rooting an android device ... but here is the problem ... 4.2.2 firmware ...

~( i did success rooting 4.1.2 android for about 80 times on download mode counter without any problem )~

so ... as much tutorials i've tested

1: download odin, cwm

2: turn on the usb debugging

3: boot mobile into download mode ( vol down + home + power key )

4: open odin as admin from pc

5: press pda and pick the cwm.tar file and hit start...

6: after phone reboot and odin says pass ... try to boot into cwm using ( vol up etc... )

ok ... here is the problem...

after "6" i suppose to be able to get into cwm but no ... i cant ... it always boot into the normal recovery instead of cwm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok ... here is what is really weird...

download mod shows this just right after i finish flashing cwm to my mobile :-

current bin: costum

system status: official

- which means that cwm success flashed.

and after trying to boot into cwm but fail and it boot into normal recovery :-

download mod shows this:-

current bin: samsung official

system status: official

- 0.o

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in general ... my problem is after success flashing cwm to my device ... it del or ignore it and it boot into normal recovery instead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any help would be great...

thx 4 your time reading this topic ... i will be checking it everyday...

I have tried several jelly bean roms and i will always come back to gingerbread due to performance.

But Combination of your Kernel (SuperFusion :)) and SuperJellyBean changed the scenario. Achieved performance:) in JellyBean.

Can we expect the same (or more performance:confused:) kind in KitKat, since google also stating, 4.4 can run smooth with 512MB ram itself?

How do you install zip file on maxx
[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
They're the same. It can be installed on either one. However if you have root it will most likely take it away. If you have a non-stock recovery it will fail. This is pretty much for a stock Droid Maxx that is from Verizon or a dev edition. You can open the zip and modify the update script to ignore the system checks and skip over the recovery. I suggest you make a backup before attempting that.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] BladeRunner:
I believe it reboots into the new recovery so it can install all the files. I don't believe KK is compatible with JB recovery

[Motorola Droid Maxx] rowland007:
If you don't have a dev edition you can try adb sideload. idk if you do update.zip in your root "SD Card" if it'll update anymore. Best way is to have an after market recovery and mod the zip to ignore your recovery. Make a backup before attempting that method.

* choose update.zip

After "verifying update package..."

"Installation aborted."

[Motorola Droid Maxx] deadman_raziel:
You need to go INTO the download zip and remove the zip file inside. Make sure renamed to update.zip and follow the same process that you mentioned. I just did it and completed successfully. I'm just waiting for applications to optimize and finish the initial boot after completing the update.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] arcanexvi:
It's also a tamper indicator. You have obviously tampered with the device as it's running software it wasn't designed to run.

I'm going to be amused if/when the day comes that these mini owners try to take an ota with the maxx software and their devices throw a fit and soft brick much the same way that the Droid lineup throws a fit if you try to take a moto x update.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] chuck1026:
I updated my Maxx with the file in this thread and I am certain my q/e was 0/0 before the flash. I actually witnessed it change to 1/1 as I hit recovery for the second phase of the installation. Really bummed me out. The phone is not rooted but 1/1 is indicative that it is ?!?

Somewhere I read the Moto X 4.4 update changed it to 1/1. My wife has a brand new Moto X that shipped with 4.4 and it has a q/e = 0/0.

Strange!!! Can anyone explain how or why???
[Motorola Droid Maxx] 69penguin:
I downloaded the 4.2.2 firmware zip files for MAXX and MINI:

CFC-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys-cid2-Verizon-US.xml.zip

CFC-obakem_verizon-user-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys-cid2-Verizon-US.xml.zip

After unpacking both zip files I compared all files with Linux diff and didn't find any differences in binary files. Only the xml files have different names and one different entry:

MAXX: <software_version version="obake-maxx_verizon-user 4.2.2 SU1-15 3 release-keysMSM8960BP_2323.024.95.00R" /

MINI: <software_version version="obakem_verizon-user 4.2.2 SU1-15 3 release-keysMSM8960BP_2323.024.95.00R" />

So I think MAXX and MINI have the same 4.2.2 firmware. Why should there be a difference in the 4.4 OTA?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] arcanexvi:
I don't believe there are any different files in the system other than config/led notification/Wireless charging. I'm just saying if they decide to change something more down the road it could present issues.

I think there's something definitely up with the behavior of the "qe" check after 4.4.

I purchased my Maxx brand new and never once rooted it (this is the first phone I've never felt compelled to root, and even then, it'd violate work BYOD policy if I did). Since taking the 4.4 update, mine now shows 0/1, which isn't true because I've never tampered with the phone.

Please clarify your post for me, You have a Moto-X..it was on 4.4 KK..and you downgraded/flashed back to 4.2.2 JB using the Droid Maxx image with no problems in more than a month.?.do I understand your post correctly.?

If you are back on 4.2.2..are you Rooted.?

And do you mean, you used the FXZ format file, not meaning sbf.?

And did you use RSDLite to flash back to JB.?

And also..if I understand correctly, wonder if the opposite is possible..Moto to Maxx flash.? Seems I read somewhere that a few try the reverse I mention, and had trouble.. hum?

If you did not officially take this update and you flashed it, the qe check will show you tampered with the device. This is how Motorola and Verizon can tell when an update goes bad who's fault it actually Is. They can say if your phone got bricked and they see you flashed it yourself or updated manually then they can blame the update failure on you the consumer
