[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superchilango:
Today I received the kitkat update and everything is fine except for the button of my skullcandy headphones, it was working for about an hour until I made a phone call using the voice recognition with the long press on the headphones. Now the button isn't responding, I rebooted several times the phone and it's still not working, I tried using it on an iPod and it works just fine, I also tried using different music apps without luck, so I assume it's a problem that came with the update, I never had this trouble in JB. Please help, I use the button a lot to skip songs.

The same here. I have a headset with 3 buttons but none works anymore after the update.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PetrichorXFi:
also affects Verizon GS4

Same issue on my Verizon GS4. I am running a pre-rooted and slightly modified versiom though. Are the two of you running stock OTA, or ROMs?

For me it will respond to corded headset buttons for ~1 minute after the screen turns off, after that it wikl only respond again after an unlock of my device.

FYI I am using Dogcatcher for podcasts, and it is with this app that i can easily reproduce this issue, reboots have no affect, only unlocking the device will fix it... till it locks again after screen timeout.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmartin346:
Hello all,

This is my first post here at XDA!

So Ive searched so please forgive me as I'm still learning quite a bit.. But having an MK2 GS4 - why am I only limited to using Safestrap and limited ROMS? Currently running Hyperdrive which is great, but found my S3 w/ IllusionRom to be MUCH more customizable and clean.

Again, I'm newer to rooting but why is it that everything seems limited right now? After reading and reading, it appears that developers are sort of dancing around voiding warranty and Knox software.. Will this be resolved at some point? I basically want to have the ability to flash some of these other cool aosp roms, etc. I could care less about voiding warranty's. I want all this stock rom warranty crap off my phone!

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SpookySager:
I'm not a developer, but it is my understanding that an unlocked boot loader is needed for the type of ROMs you want to flash. And the S4's bootloader is locked for every version other than MDK.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmartin346:
Naddict, thanks for moving my post to the appropriate thread.

I apologize if it appears I hadn't searched. However my question still remains unanswered. I have read the threads you suggested as well as many on my own.

Will the mk2 eventually be fully unlocked? Will the rest of us be able to run custom recoveries and flash more roms like MDK at some point?

Forgive me if this has been answered, but I'm still pulling the newb card and have yet to find an answer. I'm also a little impatient as I my s3 had many more options available.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Don't really know how you can expect an answer to your questions. I don't know of anyone on these boards that can see into the future. Will MK2 be unlocked? Doesn't look like it, but who knows. All you can do is keep an eye on the forums and hope for the best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
This question you are asking has had countless threads and posts devote to the locked bootloader on the S4 since the release of ME7 firmware. Not to get cheesey here but asking if the bootloader willl be unlocked is a ridiculous as no one has an answer to that and dozens of devs have been working on it for months on their spare time. The only mechanism available is safestrap and we are lucky to have that working for us becasue sooner or later that will most likley be blocked down the road. If you want an honest answer, in my view, we probably will not have a bootloader exploit comparable to the one found for MDK. Devs are working on a Kerec exploit but haven't been able to find one yet. Samsung and other cell phone manuf are responding to the Carriers requirements of having an unhackable phones because the enterprise customers are making that a requirement. The hacking community is a factional component of sales and if you want a phone for running custom ROMS, best save your money and get a DEV phone as that is the most likely way to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
I have high hopes that some talented person or group will eventually find a work around for this boot loader issue whether safestrap(hashcode) figure out a kexec exploit. Or another Loki type exploit is found. The most current thread on this situation can be found in general and surge1223 is the op. But your right from a custom ROM standpoint the s3 is in a better position. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmartin346:
Thanks for all the feedback and again, I apologize if these questions have been covered or are seemingly up answerable.

As I originally stated, I am a newb. Simply jealous of the mdk guys. I'd like some more freedom and thought going from S3 to S4 wouldn't change much as far as customizable options. Guess I should have done more research..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Hit up Swappa like I did and grab a MDK S4 and wait for it to come like a Lil kid at Christmas....

Which is what I'm doing. Or jump ship over to like... Sprint and trip your Knox flag and install CWM.

Or... Rob a bank so you can afford a dev edition S4.

Swappa it is..

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EXDetonator:
Okay, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but long story short:

I flashed a rom and instead of getting a new rom on my phone, the phone rebooted into fastboot. I tried to enter recovery... no dice. Somhow my recovery uninstalled itself. So now I'm stuck with a phone with no rom installed, and no recovery installed. Frustration.

First step would be to reinstall recovery right? But when attempting to use fastboot flash command, i get stuck at <waiting for device>. I have the htc phone driver installed, and it's recognizing the phone is plugged into the pc in device manager. The phone screen even says FASTBOOT USB. I have no idea why it's not flashing. The recovery i'm trying to flash is twrp, the latest sprint build. It's the same one I had before it somehow uninstalled itself.

Please help out guys?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bankanidhi:
What phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EXDetonator:
Details

Sorry for not making this clear earlier: the phone is the HTC One, Sprint. Just the regular one.

I'm really in a bind in here. Right now I have no recovery or rom to work with, and the only rom on my phone is the one that caused all this mess. I'm going to have to sideload a rom, but right now I need to get twrp on there. For some reason, it still won't get on, i'm still stuck at <waiting for device>. The phone is coming up on device manager as "My htc", so it's definitely plugged into the computer correctly. I have no idea what's going on.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Smells like bad usb drivers.

What does this command say:

fastboot devices

The result should be your device id. It not, your usb drivers are not working.

If it does work, I would RUU back to stock. Look at the faq page for links.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EXDetonator:
The command doesn't return anything. I guess this means my drivers aren't working. This doesn't make any sense though (pun intended): the phone is being recognized in device manager under "Android USB Devices" as "My HTC" via HTC's drivers that come with htc sync. I already downloaded htc sync and uninstalled it, keeping the driver files. This is really wierd stuff, any idea on how to get the drivers working? I'm sure if I could just get a recovery on there, resolving the issue wouldn't be too difficult via adb. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Sounds like you are running Win 8.1.

Your phone won't be recognized if your hboot is 1.44
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EXDetonator:
I am running 8.1, but my hboot is 1.55.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
There it's a specific question in this in the faq page, particularly 8.1 and usb. Did you look at that?

See this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49038239
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Did you install HTC sync? You need it for the proper drivers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EXDetonator:
Fixed! ...halfway

Alright guys, I flashed a recovery.

I actually started off with HTC's drivers, but they were causing the issue.

Thankfully the information the thread tdhite posted had a link to a working driver.

Thanks everyone! Now I need to sideload a rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I have been very pleased with Asus products for 10yrs now. Even the Prime with its faults and annoying issues I felt was a nice hardware. The same with the TF700. Fine it has lag and game developers seem to skip making their software compatiable with it. But my device runs great for my needs.

I came across an article that mentions Asus is looking to be the manufacture for the next Nexus 10. What are other TF700 owners thought on this? I'm currently waiting on the next wave of tablets to be announched before getting a new one. Nothing except for the current Sony Xperia tablet or TF701 have my interest. If I find one of these on a price is right for me type of sale, I will snatch it up.

That is an old article and Asus never confirmed they are making it. I'll see it when I believe it. There are just as many rumours saying Samsung will make it which will much more likely.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopgt:
Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked already, i have not been keeping up with the latest info available...

I have Installed the leaked Samsung kit kat firmware and have tried out all the Kit Kat roms available but it seems to be a hit and miss, some roms boot up fine while others give me a bootloop with a double vibration. The first rom that i tried was echo kit kat rom and it booted up fine, i then tried another rom that booted up fine but decided to go back to echo and now it is boot looping?

The roms that do work seem to be a bit buggy too.

Is this expected on these early Kit Kat roms and CWM just now and may be ironed out soon?

Thanks for any info.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys

I wanted to test the build quality of my phone so I took it out of the case. Amd grabbed it from both sides and slightly flexed it

It makes a bit of a creeking noise to which concerns me a little, could this be a fault and result in the waterprofness not working?

Let me know if it happens when if you flex yours, the sound seems to come from the lower right hand corner

J
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Mine doesn't creak at all
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Can't hear any creeking on mine. Do you have it in your front pocket a lot?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] asustf700t:
LOL YES mine done this earlier for the first time and i was like WDF haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
I don't think putting it in your front pocket makes as big of a difference people think, I had it in there for a while without a case and my phone hasn't bent etc. But it's still a good question to ask, just a random statement from me lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm not talking about bending. If you put some stress on something for a period of time, it'll start to weaken and then probably creek. I don't know how old you are, but i remember when i had the Nokia 3210/3310/3410 etc. which had plastic back covers, and they would start to creek like hell after i'd removed the covers a lot.

If your thigh bumps and puts stress on the frame of the Ultra for some time (walking and sitting a lot with it in your front pocket, for example), it'll start to creek. That, i can tell you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Fair enough, I'm just trying to say that mine has held up well and I have sat with it in my front pocket and walked a lot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Someone upstairs likes you :p I'm not saying that it will happen, but it might be one of the causes. Just treat it like a delicate electronic gadget, which it is after all.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Haha yeah these days when I go out I put it in a case but most of the times I prefer it without since the phone so beautiful :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Ive had it less then a week, and its been in my front pocket a few times but I usually have it in my side coat pocket

Do you think it would get water damaged If I were to drop it in water?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
You realize it's fully water-proof, right?

You can submerge it in 1.5m of water for up to 30 minutes I believe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
and yet mine got water damage... after light rain...

Granted it had been opened, and probably not sealed properly...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
But from what I've read, you have particularly poor luck so far. :p

I really hope they send you back a fully functioning ZU with no problems this time around - ideally a complete replacement.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PlagasX:
Hey guys,

I have a Galaxy S4 (M919) with 4.3.

I'm a first time rooter and I just did a root using the GalaxyS4root.com tutorial. I used the Clock Work mod recovery method and have installed Supersu version 0.99.zip.

Now when I reboot after rooting successfully I try to launch Supersu and I get a "Unfortauntely Supersu has stopped" message. I have read around on google about the Knox security issues and tried also updating via the Play store but when I launch the app now i get

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it! This is a problem!" :crying:

I don't understand this because I rooted it following the instructions exactly and it seems everything went through fine...Why is this happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Either flash an updated version of SuperSU or try CF Autoroot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PlagasX:
Okay I will try that. Also, I have checked the status and it says "Custom"... Does this mean It is actually rooted but it's just not being detected yet?? Would I have to revert back to stock Samsung before I try CF Autoroot?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Just try CfAutoroot or go to chainfire's website and download latest version of supersu and flash it.

By the way, what do you recommend I do next after I root? Is there something that I should immediately install first?

Depends on what you want to do.

Are you looking to flash custom Rom?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: whats next

Next step is go to the playstore and download/install Goomanager. (free app)

Once it's installed open it & click the menu key and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript".

When that's done you will have the latest TWRP custom recovery in your phone and you

will be ready to flash any compatible custom roms found here in this M919 forum.

Good luck!

I think several custom roms have ability to use low brightness and high brightness option in torch app. Atm it's limited to 4.3.x and previous roms, kitkat has some issues with it (araragi's stuff is causing some conflicts, adam has fixed it on builds newer that two days ago or so iirc)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SaschaElble:
Okay, complete re-write...

For MY guide (The point is, this is not all inclusive, nor does it dictate that its the only way... but if you want help on this thread....)

USE safestrap 3.65 (no exceptions)

USE kitkat 4.4 (no exceptions)

YOU MUST WIPE EVERYTHING - Use the Advanced button, in the wipe menu... Thats what its for... Advanced stuff... Like flashing over STOCK... (Its best to copy all your NEEDED data (Don't just copy everything), PLEASE DO NOT COPY /DATA /ANDROID/ /.SECURE ECT ONLY what YOU recognize

Please make sure ALL APPS work before using apps2sd /mounts2sd. (This means literally testing each app, one by one. In your app drawer. You'd be surprised how much doesn't work when not wiped/flashed properly (And sometimes even when done right)

Boot into recovery

Select "Boot options"

Select "Stock ROM"

Select "Wipe"

Select "Advanced Wipe"

Check mark every single box you see! (I mean it) (I hope you already went through your internal and external sd card and copied your pictures, music, videos, emails, texts, downloads, ect somewhere safe. NOT ON THE PHONE...

"Swipe to Wipe"

Select "Install"

Find and Select your flashable rom .zip

Select Add More Zips

Find and Select your flashable gapps .zip

"Swipe to Confirm Flash"

"Wipe Dalvik Cache"

"Reboot"

I would just like to confirm that flashing "Aviator CM11" on the stock partition does work and boots without problems.

Boot times are incredible compared to using slot 1-4

Enjoy not wasting 6gb of space!

Errors:

Could not install to usb or sdcard -playstore error : Either bug in rom, or you have installed that app, once upon a time on some other rom/same rom.

For all: Flashing a Kexec Rom to stock system works fine whether with latest SS or with BMM! The stock system is working faster than any virtual slots, there's no "disk emulation". I am not sure about one thing: In theory the stock system could use less power than virtual slots - thos of you who ever installed Linux Mint near their Windows installation (Installation from Windows), where a virtual hdd disk image partition is being created. When installation Linux Mint this way the suspend mode is not available as usual. Maybe it works the same way on our phones?

I have been using Mokee on my stock slot for weeks now. Very stable, everything works (except HDMI because of source), and battery is pretty decent. I'm using SS 3.65, flashing to stock is painless, and I believe all Roms posted here are kexec based. I have used gummy, cm, mokee and slim on stock slot. But where can the "Aviator" Roms be found?

There is another forum located here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/

There are some of the older Blur based ROMs, and the newer Aviator ROMs as well. Aviator has a Gummy, and a CM11 version. They tweak those ROMs with a few things and work well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] andrewrvincent:
I have also installed KitKat Roms on the stock partion, which I started doing to free up room on phone. I also ran into the same issue trying to install one app ("can not install on USB or SD Card") and gplay subsequently gave a refund after going through their support system.

I tried JB Rom on stock partion but the install failed. BUT - I installed it on rom slot 1 and created a backup and the "recovered" that backup on the stock slot and it worked.

The aviator roms on http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-vzw-droid-razr-roms-xt912/ are pretty good. Running the aviator gummy (my current favorite) right now - early Jan version as the camera did not work on later Jan version - might be fixed now - haven't checked in a week.

What is the CORRECT WAY to install any custom ROM on the STOCK SLOT?

For example:

I was using SS 6.15

SLOT: STOCK ---- ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12

RIGHT Now I´ve installed:

SLOT: STOCK ---- SLIMKAT 2.5 RC1 (over the ROGERS CANADA JB STOCK ROM 4.12 )

SLOT: 1 ---- SLIMKAT 2.4

SLOT: STock is not working properly. Camera, browser, quick settings are not working.

SHOULD I enter SS 6.15, WIPE EVERYTHING on SLOT STOCK (DATA, SYSTEM,CACHE,DALVIK,etc) and re - FLASH SlimKAT 2.5 RC1 on SLOT STOCK??

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Steven87:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SaschaElble:
Using file manager, go to internal storage, go into data/data and delete the offending apps. This is caused by left over files from a previous installation of that app. The hard way, but for sure way, is to wipe EVERYTHING. (internal storage)

The proper way, at least for me, to install on stock slot, is to:

Pull out my external SD card. Goto wipe, click advanced wipe, check everything. Wipe.

Then flash your custom rom, and don't forget your gapps if you use them. Reboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SaschaElble:
Yes, for the least amount of possible issues, use SS 1.65, and use a jb+ kexec rom. (4.1.2 should be fine)
