[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailing_Nut:
Well maybe I should have asked another question because this device was rooted but I lost root in an OTA update. I didn't want to go back to rooting it because of loosing all of my settings but my feeble mind just remembered that unlocking the boot loader is the part that wipes the device (right?) so I should be able to re-root the device.

Any good articles I should read on re-rooting after loosing it due to an OTA update? (Other than just googling for stuff. :D)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
After you root your device and unlock boot loader, download any advanced root App manager (Ultimate Backup/ ROM Toolbox) and freeze Software Update (2 apps in Samsung). It will never bother to notify and never OTA update.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evereti:
Hi

I have a two year old i9000 which does not wake up on pressing the home button. This device is pre Gingerbread.

I have a similar device which I have had for the same time and at some point I updated to Gingerbread. This device wakes on home button OK.

I don't think this function came with Gingerbread but I cannot remember what tweek I applied, and cannot find any tweek on Web.

Can anyone help? :(

Thanks Evereti

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
so i recently got the note 3 (coming from the htc one) was wondering if anyone is having issues with the camera taking blurry pictures inside (havent tested the camera outside as of yet)?

another thing, was wondering if theres a fix on here for the blurriness, debating if i want to root this as it will perminantly leave the 0X1 mark on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Play around with settings and see what works best for your phone. I assume you have pulled the plastic off the lens

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
sorry, but when u say plastic off the lens...are u talking about the plastic thats on the back cover or the lens itself? and with settings theres no option for camera settings lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
It the plastic film that comes on back lens. In the camera all the setting it has

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Plenty of settings

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
i feel stupid now.i didnt see any plastic on the lens at all so im guessing its off. and yeah i did play with it and seems like it is fixed for now, ill update in the morning.

and what do i need to know about rootin my device. im aware that it will trigger the knox to 0x1. but when flashing roms and kernels, do i need extra files for everything to work or just the roms and kernels...im a newbee to the note three so havent gotten the chance to check out the roms.

when browsing, i noticed this section doesnt has that many roms, can i use the main note three page or is it recommended to use the tmobile sections.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chuko303:
You Put TWRP or CMW any custom recovery. Yes you will trip Knox I believe. Also if you change kernel even thought it's stock rom will also come up with a message on the splash screen "warning kernel is not seadroid enforcing"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
Tried flashing some roms, but noticed i can only stay on 4.3, cant even use 4.4 roms. why is that? and what rom and kernel would u suggest for battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
What 4.4 rom you trying?

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
liquidsmooth. the other issue im having is the wifi not being able to be used. i cant find a fix for it. and thanks again for your help i really appreciate it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] andyshannon3:
I had film on my lens that was on so snuggly i never noticed it but one day something scratched it a little big and i could see it peel up a little bit and removed it, so maybe try just scratching the corner of the lens lightly with a finger nail to make sure there isn't a film on there?

Although mine didnt really take blurry photos with or without the film on. but maybe your film got dirty?

I've been experimenting with some ideas to help get cm working but I don't have the One Mini.

If anyone with the AT&T HTC One Mini would like to test out a few builds of cm and recovery images just send me a message and I'll reply back with a link to my mediafire.

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask them here :)

And thanks in advance to all.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
i've got an international one, not at&t.. useful ?
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
According to this post, it should work.
[HTC One Mini] rashad1:
It shouldn't matter. My at&t Mini is running an international ROM
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
I haven an At&t version. I would like to help ;)
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
ok, so what have you to share with beta testers ;)

i didn't take time to compile the actual gits, as it seems that some major functions are not still ok (eg . audio), plus i'm quite ok with 4.3 + sense.

if you've got more than that, i'm interested
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
I've been working on the installation glitches related to SELinux.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
did you make a new recovery ?

i didn"t take time to compile and work on this, as i lack some spare time.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
yeah, kernel tweaks mostly.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
ok, currently, need it and no time to do trials, hope abzboi will be helpful ^^

i'm still following here
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
I just got home and I'm going to download the test 1(first one in the cm-11.0-sm-linaro) do i need to download the md5sum also? what i'm going to do is flash the cwm-m4-6.0.4.6-test1.img and then flash the rom. correct me if i'm wrong.

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

I got installation aborted for test 1 with the cwm recovery.

It says:Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in /data/media/0/cm-11-20140113-UNOFFICIAL-TEST1-m4.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

I'm going to try that recovery.img

Edit: same result with recovery.img one.

I'm going to try test2. btw what is that md5sum? what do i do with it? what i did was install the recovery in that folder both of em and i wipe data/factory reset. then install zip, choose zip from /sdcard,0/ then the cm11 test 1 and i got that result installation aborted.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
Md5sum download is optional, use the recovery that matches the test number on the rom
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
Same result. Tried test2 also.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
Same error for TEST2? I was so sure this was it.. Well thanks.
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
Np. Sorry for the waiting time. I wish it worked.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
no need to fastboot flash boot.img ?

qhat are your requirements ? s-off, bootloader unlocked ..?
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
Rom couldn't be flash. It said installation aborted. (status 7). I'm s-off and unlocked. I really like cm roms. I hope there will be a working cm11 soon.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
status 7 is often due to the first line of the update-script, linked to assert
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
do u think there are any way to fix that?
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
s-off just means you don't have to flash /boot manually.

yes, but I don't know what it is. Gotta do more reading online...

Status 7 here is because the command it's using requires selinux and something is improperly configured for that. I'm considering replacing the command...
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
thanks,

i'm new to htc and not aware of the s-off thing.

so basically, once you've unlocked your bootlaoder and s-off, the device behave as other one, i mean for recovery and flashing process ?
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
If you unlock your bootloader you get fastboot. S-off via a tool like rumrunner lets you flash a kernel from a zip or include it in a ROM zip.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
got it, thanks for the explanation

did you try to work on 4.3, without selinux ?
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
4.3 has SELinux as well. There's a lot more work done on the 4.4 device tree and repos. CM-10.2 isn't really worth it now IMO, anyway.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
CM10.2 runs with selinux in permissive or disabled
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
you can disable it in kitkat, too. It's just the recovery because of the install process.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
ok
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
Uploading a new build now, I edited the updater-script to use pre-kitkat commands.

Hopefully this should at least get it to flash.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
other possiiblity to test your rom would be just to share the img and fastboot flash each one ..
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
The stuff I'm working on is the flashing process. h8rift is getting the device tree and such so I figured I'd try and be helpful by figuring out a fix for the status 7 error.

EDIT: thanks for the tip, though. I hadn't considered that as another means of flashing a whole ROM.
[HTC One Mini] BENETNATH:
got it, good luck
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
Would be happy to test if you can share the file.

EDIT: Also, I think this was touched on but not answered on an earlier post, to we need to flash boot.img in fastboot?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
All, if you are considering S-OFF, please read this first!

Apologies for hijacking the thread! :)
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
Correct me if I'm wrong. On this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573479

here: Here just some other commands for revone:

-u --> Unlock Bootloader

-l --> Lock Bootloader (It will not simply lock it, it will lock it like it was never unlocked)

-r --> Relock Bootloader (mark the device as unlocked)

-t --> "Tampered" will be removed from bootloader

!!!IMPORTANT! YOU NEED FULLY STOCK ROM, STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK BOOT BEFORE YOU CAN USE THIS!!! fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 --> restore S-ON

You could restore to S-ON with writesecureflag 3 command. So that means for at&t version htc one mini. You can take the ruu then restore to s-on.
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
So, had a chance to try out the recovery and the ROM, ran into a few issues:

1) Backup and restore didn't work with the recovery. It pointed to the incorrect directory, here is the log from attempt

I: Checking for extendedcommand…

I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found…

I: using /data/media for /sdcard

Couldn’t open directory.

No files found.

Decided to ignore this and move forward. Couldn't flash ROM. Although I could get to the proper directory on the internal storage and select the file, I received an error Status 6. Reverted back to the recovery I was using (port of philz advanced CWM based on v6.0.4.5) to restore.

Hope this helps.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
If someone could try flashing with an existing recovery like twrp 2.6.3.3 or philz touch, that'd be great.
[HTC One Mini] abzboi:
I tried out all the recovery available for mini. But, I still get an error 7
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
Did try with the philz, still got a status 6 error.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
Do you mean status 7?

Thanks to all for the help.
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
Nope, Status 6 (did it again for a sanity check). thought it was strange too, I've only gotten a status 7 error up to this point. Will try re-downloading the file and throwing it on internal storage again.

E: Error in /data/media/0/download/cm-11-20140115-UNOFFICIAL-m4.zip (Status 6) installation aborted

EDIT: tried downloading it all again to make sure there wasn't some kind of strange issue with the download, same error with Status 6. Found some info on the status here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535546

Made sure signature verification was toggled OFF on the recovery.

Am I the only one that has gotten this error?
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
Did some more digging on status 6. If the issue is in fact not unique to me, it might suggest a syntax error with the updater script. Combed through the script in notebook ++ and didn't see anything that struck me as out of place. Took out the assert and tried again with no luck.
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
I'm not going to correct you. The purpose of my post was to try to make people stop and think about what they are about to "do", not blindly follow "instructions" without any understanding of what they are actually doing, or why. Or because someone posted, "it's cool, it'll work".

Two points:

revone -l --> Lock Bootloader (It will not simply lock it, it will lock it like it was never unlocked) - Not true, this should read: It will not simply lock it, it will lock it like it was never unlocked"

fastboot oem commands are......

Actually, I'm not going to spend time justifying or clarifying my thread. Seven people have come to me for help after following intructions such as those in the thread you quoted. This morning i spent 3 hours fixing a near full brick. 16 soft bricks, hboot halted, boot loops.

Heed my advice, or don't.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Just a thought - Back to "stock" threads: WTF? Flashing custom roms, mods, themes, apps - that's why we are part this community. But why risk trashing your phone after custom rom flashes, mods etc, just go back to "stock" so you can get an OTA?
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:

I'm compiling one of my own to see if the necessary changes are on github yet or not.
[HTC One Mini] VoluntaryMan:
Finished compiling and uploading, it's on my mediafire.

If you're running the build I linked earlier, keep the zip on your phone and you can just dirty flash it if mine doesn't boot :good:
[HTC One Mini] corgan1001:
Awesome! Will give it a spin tonight and report back.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Frank_DC:
Hi Folks,

Here is my situation, I have a SGS3 I747M which got water damage because of ATV accident, my carrier Virgin Mobile Canada wants $340 to replace it because I am not due for an upgrade yet! I bought another brand new SGS3 I747M for 1/3 of the price only to find out that the IMEI has been blocked by Telus because the phones previous owner canceled her 3 year contract prematurely.

So now I am screwed both ways! After several days of trying to wipe and re-image the phone I finally got it unlocked but once I put in my SIM card the phone tells me that I am not registered on mobile network, if I put it in my old phone it works. So, my question is can I change this new phones IMEI number to the current one that I have?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers:(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I just saw this; sorry bro.

Let me have a look at this issue. Initial thoughts would be to ask if restored any apps from Titanium Backup, have unknown sources checked, and to confirm that you indeed can download and install apps from the market.

OK, it looks like you may have restored the app from TiBu.

Here are a few threads for reference...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379703

http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...estions/2608744-language-pack-download-failed

I'll look into Zedge in a moment. But my initial thought would be to clear app cache and re-download any restored apps from TiBu, delete the app, and reinstall.

Be back anon. Please stand by...

OK, for Zedge, I'm not seeing similar issues, but the commonality is close enough. Try deleting the subfolder for Zedge on your SD card, reboot, and the app will recreate the folder needed on boot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kjs110:
All you need to do is go into recovery and tap the advanced button. In there one of the things you can do is reset premitions. Do that. It is every quick. Then you should be fine. I tried hard resets and it did not work. This did
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Yea i tried that as well and it didn't work either. This all started after I tried to install the ProBam CM11 Rom and I go the data failure

after the phone rebooted upon initial instal of the Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
May be time to start from scratch with the Skunk Ape1 file, followed by reroot and re-installation of recovery. Then pick another rom.

Pretty drastic, and I'll try to see if there are easier routes, but I'd prepare for that now. Couldn't hurt.

Not sure if i want to go that far at this point, but if those two are not working, what else am i going to run across later ya know...thanks for looking into it, I will do a complete wipe including internal storage and do a recovery from when i first rooted. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I see you ran the Skunk Ape1 rollback. I did think that you had other options, but it's the cleanest. For me it's a nightmare to restore everything, but it just has to be done sometimes if you want a solid experience. I had errors a while back when restoring a bad backup, and my option was to flash a new rom. Things just kept degrading. Had the Skunk Ape1 full restore had been here then, it's what I'd have done. Inasmuch as you were on a CM rom, it seemed the safest play.

Sorry about that, but I hope things get cleared up for ya.
