Is there a way to install the OTA update to the Sprint S4 without losing root? Rooted using TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dewrust:
you can just update the firmware and leave the boot loader alone. the link is in my signature for unknownforce's firmwares

other then that im not sure if there is a method to have the OTA and not loose root.... voodoo OTA rootkeeper still does not support 4.3

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TX_Jax:
Bought a phone that was previously rooted, and the seller 'graciously' updated the OS to Android 4.3.

Now, the phone will not enter the USB debugging mode. I have the choice of "use as media" and "use as camera.

Phone is Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-I605V) now running on the T-Mobile network. The "use mobile network for data" is on, but the antenna isn't coming on.

SuperSU is installed, but gives the "if you updated to Android 4.3, you must re-root the phone." I have rooted phones before, but . . .

Everything I find is about putting in in USB debugging mode and using ADB.

ADN does not find the device installed. . . using the Samsung USB driver, downloaded from Samsung.

There is no USB debugging mode. Help!

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuz142:
I'm wondering if updating the Droid Maxx and Ultra have given you some of the same features found on Moto Xs running KitKat, such as Moto Skip NFC unlock support, access to updated Motorola apps from the play store, etc.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarCriminal:
Small UI changes. Updated to Droid Zap. Wallpaper no longer shifts when you scroll. Most noticeable or odd the gate. Many more small changes behind the scenes that are not very prominent.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
The NFC unlock with skip was already part of the November update, IIRC.

The differences that I have noticed:

- when you press the home key while using the stock launcher, it always brings you back to the default home screen, even if the last used home screen was another one. It's almost like you pressed home twice. It's a little annoying.

- if you have two apps that can do something, with nothing set as the default (say, two browsers on the system), the first time a browser link is pressed a list of items is shown, allowing yo to choose one and choose a button that says "Just once" or "Always". That's not new, but what is new is that if you select something and say "Just once", that item will be highlighted the next time you have the same choice.

- there is a full-screen mode for apps that support it. The first time you see it it tells you that you can return to normal with a swipe down from the top.

- if you turn on "tap to focus" in the camera app, there is a new focus/white balance control that you can drag to a focus point and then tap anywhere to take the photo and use that as the focus point (and, as I said, to control exposure/white balance.)

- apparently it supports BT LE devices like the Fitbit, and supports tap to pay for Google Wallet (though I use neither of these so cannot confirm for sure.)

- the status bar remains black and the battery status and time are still blue, with the network icons remaining blue for Google connection and gray for no Google authentication, and they also still show network activity (this is unlike the Moto X.) There is a new location status icon that looks like a white Google Maps place point icon. For some reason the network icons look different to me, but they may be the same.

- there is now an unlabeled icon to clear all notifications in the notification shade, and the settings page icon looks a little different. Also, the settings gear icon looks a little different.

- there is a setting to allow you to set the default messaging app.(settings->more [under "wireless & networks"]->default SMS app)

- there is now a settings->printing setting (I don't think that was there in Jellybean) and I have printed from GMail, Hangouts and Chrome.

There really isn't a whole lot that's different or that looks all that different. (I probably missed some things...)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I only ran JB for a day so I don't really know if this is new, but I've noticed many apps now have the annoying 3-dots menu show up all by itself, occupying as much space as if we had a soft-key nav bar.

Very annoying, wish there was a way to get rid of that.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamford:
Hi hope someone here can help,

I installed the stable CM 10.1 as per the instructions i found on here, and i much prefer this to the stock rom. however i have been experiencing difficulties every time i turn my nook off. When i reboot it it gets stuck on the cyanogenmod boot animation , I've left it for as long as 30 minutes with no luck. I found that if i clear the davlik cache this solves it and (after updating the apps again) it boots up in the normal amount of time. Any suggestions as to what could be the issue and how to fix it? I dont really want to go through the process of putting the rom on again if i dont have to since i will lose all my apps. Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svex88:
Hello everyone,

This is my first post so excuse me in advance.

Two days ago I wanted to update my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) with CyanogenMod. So I read the instructions and began working on it by myself.

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) with CF ROOT and ODIN3 1.7. It was all good. I was running the 2.3.4 version XXJVQ.

I immediately made a complete backup with CWM. It also went good. After that my SuperUser app notified about update and I updated it.

There came up THE FIRST PROBLEM with SU binaries. The phone failed to update SU binaries. I decided to uninstall update because I couldn't manage to solve that issue on the other way. Then THE SECOND PROBLEM appeared with WIFI. I couldn't connect to any network. It was constantly saying "Obtaining IP...". I tried several ways including the tricks with AllShare, Static IP, reseting router, turning the phone ON/OFF but nothing worked. Then I decided to flash CyanogenMod ROM regardless od previous problems hoping that the update itself will solve the issues.

I downloaded CM 10.2 (latest stable version) and appropriate Gapps. Then I copied those two .zip files to the phone. This is where I made THE MAJOR PROBLEM I think. Instead of copying those files to the internal memory of the phone I copied it to the external SD card. I taught SD was only abrreviation for external SD card but nevertheless it was my mistake. Not realising that I made a terrible mistake I continued with process. I wiped data/ factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache and than realised that I cannot flash ROM because it was not there. Then THE LATEST PROBLEM appeared. I restored everything from before and tried to reboot but i got into LOOP BOOT. I tried every solution I found here but I still cannot solve problems. I put out the battery, and rooted the phone again. I installed md5. tar file again so that I could use CWM again. I tried to use ADB but I don't understand how to use it from WIndows 7 (32bit). I installed ADB adn Fastboot to PC but I don't know how to operate it. It just shows the abbreviations and what they mean and do.

Is there anyone who can help me start my phone. I would like to get back to stock ROM or to somehow copy CM 10.2 and Gapps to internal storage so I can flash it.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you can flash from any (internal or External) SD card, just look at basic CWM procedure here [Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat, also you can flash back to stock and solve your problems

Thanks for help. I will try to flash original ROM with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svex88:
I want to do the following but I don't know where to find these files for XXJVQ version?

Procedure:

1. Fire up Odin3 on your PC and ensure KIES is not running on your PC by killing (Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe) using Task Manager

2. Put the phone to the Download Mode by pressing (VolumeDown+Home+Power) buttons and connect the phone to your PC (your phone should be recognized)

3. Select PDA > CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.m d5

4. Select PHONE > MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5

5. Select CSC > GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5

6. Select PIT > 512 PIT (If 'Re-Partition' is not checked under 'Option', check it)

7. Press the Start button Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot

After which you repeat steps one and two (to flash the kernel for root and CWM recovery)

3. now select PDA > CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS

4. press Start Button. Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] soshite:
I don't normally do this I just lurk around for my questions but this time I really give up. I have done plenty of work with 16 gb stuff, but never 8 GB nook, trying to install CM 10.2 on a friend's 8GB Tablet, the issue is I cannot seem to find an img for clockworkmod I can just burn to an SD card, lavero.burgos guide requires CWM to already be installed into the internal recovery, but what if I take a clean nook out of the box, are there no CWM images I can burn straight to the SD version 6.x.x and after?

The other method seems to be the one where you create the partitions manually. Which is fine and all, and my device is obviously doing something, but it locks up on the cattonbox and doesn't continue on to CWM. Things I have tried:

1. putting in MLO first after freshly creating 0x0c partition (yes its active) and then the other files for custom SD-recovery

2. replacing the recovery in lavero burgos zip with the cwm_6012.img file, renaming it recovery.img

3. also tried renaming the file instead to boot.img that some guy recommended

4. have tried another sd, rinse, repeat

All the "SD" burnable images are either invalid, or have no partition information. The custom SD method has some sort of issue. I do plug in the cable. The problem isn't getting it to recognize the SD card as a bootable media, the problem is getting to go into CWM, I'm all out of wit, it's been two days man, basically:

HELP?

EDIT: Just tried cwm_6033.img; no dice. These images are supposed to be 8GB Friendly I believe. I don't understand what gives :(

EDIT 2: Great. I wasted some freaking space on the forum. Sorry guys. Use cwm_6033, rename boot.img, and hold "N" when the trash box comes up. Yay

Just want to note that I apparently have the Knox Pox if that has something to do with my issue... My Warranty bit is set to 0x01 (unfortunately I received an RMA replacement device and followed an old guide for flashing and set this bit to true).

If you can navigate through the zip file then chances are it's not a bad download. If you can't navigate through it via a file browser (ES, Solid, etc) then it definitely won't flash. If it's not bad, the only other thing I would say would be to try using a different recovery to flash it.

On that note, it may just be me but the newest version of TWRP (2.6.3.1) was giving me some pretty bad problems flashing stock TW 4.3 ROMs... i.e. baseband not showing up, Settings->About->Status would force-close, and I could not get any cell signal. That happened on Wicked, Hyperdrive, and WarpDrive. Couldn't restore backups of said ROMs either.. I mean, it would let me restore but I would hang at the S4 splash screen. I say it was TWRP because once I downgraded back to 2.6.3.0 my backups worked again and I no longer had the phone/signal problems in TW 4.3.
