Another fix

Hi guys

Just posted this fix in other thread, and thought you might also find it useful.

Just encountered the same problem guys. Searched all over and only solutions I've found was (time-consuming) unmounting the SD Card or deleting the smdl2tmp1.asec file.

Since I can't be bothered to UNMOUNT the SD Card everytime I install the app and the mentioned file can not be found in my system (Note 3) I found 3rd solution which solved my problem.

It works only on phones which have external SD Card.

Here's what you need to do (instruction for dummies ;))

1. Connect your phone or SD Card to your PC

2. Copy most important folders and files to your hard drive - photos, music, videos, apk's etc. (basically do a backup of those files)

3. Disconnect the phone from your PC

4. Go to settings in your phone (Settings>Storage>SD Card)

5. Format your SD Card.

6. Copy back the folders and files you backed up on your PC.

It worked for me, so I thought I'd share it with those who don't find "unmounting" and deleting smdl2tmp1.asec file helpful.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!

...Without bricking?

So I tend to have a lot of apps and data so the limited size of the Safestrap partitions run out quick. So I was wondering if I made a back up of the stock rom and put it on a custom rom slot, could I wipe the stock rom slot and restore a backup of a custom ROM so I would have more available memory? Or would that result in a brick since the safe strap app was initially installed on that stockrom?

That's the way I have my Note 3 since day 1, everything on stock slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjewell:
With my droid razr I test drove a bunch of different roms on the other safestrap slots and when I found one that was stable and I really liked, I nuked and repaved everything on the stock slot with a backup file and it worked like a charm. I plan on doing the same thing to my note when cm11 is available and stable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xanza89:
You most definitely can, I have done this countless times. You can also just flash directly to the stock slot as well and restore apps through TiBu, just another way to do it.

Hi! Thinking of getting the G2 on Verizon. However, I want to make sure that it's not so locked down that I can't flash CM on it. Can anyone give a geeral state of affairs on the development scene on this phone?

You can flash custom ROMs on it. The bootloader is still locked, but there's a workaround (loki).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braxync:
Pretty easy if you do some research, I had some issues after taking the 12B OTA before rooting and trying any custom ROMs and ran into some snags.. I rolled back to a previous version and it's been very hassle free using TWRP 2.6.3.3. Gr33nd3vil's unofficial CM has been running very nicely
[General Questions and Answers] Kristen Bell:
Plz help me, I've just bought a new Galaxy. Can someone help me how to protect the battery and what should apps I need to protect battery?
[General Questions and Answers] braxync:
By "protect battery" do you mean conserve battery power?

If so, a few tips.. keep location settings off when unnecessary, along with bluetooth, keep screen brightness down, and use wifi instead of LTE when possible. Some apps will drain battery more than others, you can check your general battery use in settings and see what apps are heavy drainers, or for more detailed info there are some good battery monitoring apps

OK...lookup Odin...you should be able to find multiple threads on here with the download as well as detailed instructions on how to use it...you will also need to download a file which should also be readily available in 1 or more threads on here which is the Odin file for mk2 full wipe emergency .tar file...I could easily link you to all these files but if you had done your research before trying to install twrp you would know that you can't flash any recovery besides safestrap on mk2,mj7,mI1 or me7...learning to search the threads to fix your s4 will make you a more knowledgeable modder...after you fix your s4...PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF TECHNOLOGY READ UP...Learn up on safe strap before using it as well because it can be kinda sketchy for inexperienced users...good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Glad you got it figured out. Like jamesd said, do a lot of research before you try anything else with your phone. Those of us on MK2 are extremely limited as to what we can do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
first of all you can't install a recovery like twrp or CWM nor can you flash any ROMS using those recoveries. Its been made clear countless times with countless threads that any S4 since MDK build can not have a recovery as their bootloaders are locked. The ONLY avenue is safestrap and the handful of safestrap compatible ROMS.

A bricked phone is the end result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpankyDynamite:
Hey all ....

Sorry if this has been covered.

I had a rooted, unlocked Note 2 for a long time that I loved. I purchased the Note 3 not realizing I can't unlock the bootloader. I rooted it but still couldn't get any kind of wifi tether to work ... even paid app ones.

So tonight, I traded my Note 3 to a guy for some cash and his Note 2 .... only to realize it's 4.3 OTA updated.

Can I root and unlock the bootloader or am I screwed?

Thanks. Any help or points in the right direction would be appreciated.

Actually you don't. The OP clearly DOESN'T say it because it doesn't take into account that you are coming FROM a cm10 rom.

I guess I need more posts to ask this in the proper thread. Anyways I followed all of the instructions and used the installer however it did not ask to overwrite 3.11 but, still said it was installed. When I reboot I still have SS3.11 and I can't figure out why it won't install. It's not causing any problems at all but, it's just not installing for whatever reason.

The whole reason I'm even upgrading is because it's listed as a requirement for running CM11. If I can run CM11 via 3.11 that'd be fine as well.

Thanks in advance guys. I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm doing/not doing but, I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as most people on this forum.

I'm having a bit of an issue here with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III where I tried to downgrade from Android 4.3 to 4.1.2. I used Odin and the 4.1.2 firmware that matches my device and when the process was finished Odin indicated that it was a failure and now my phone is not able to turn on, and gives an error message stating that "Firmware upgrade has encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again." I'm not sure what Software Repair Assistant is exactly so I haven't tried anything regarding that. Also I tried entering download mode but then clicking the volume down button so that it restarts the phone.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Once you are on 4.3, the bootloader is locked, you can't downgrade or install custom rom/kernel recovery. The only thing you can do is root. If you want to flash a few available rom you will need to install safestrap. Back to your issue:

Hi All,

I was curious what my best method to receiving the latest stock Rom on my phone would be, while, if possible, maintaining MDK as my phone's Bootloader.

All I'm really looking for is the MDK bootloader, Latest Stock Rom, and root.

I'm no longer really interested in keeping up with custom roms at this time, which has led me to consider unrooting the phone and taking the OTA updates, but haven't yet, as I feel I may regret it later.

Please advise,

Dan.

If you are rooted and have recovery just flash the mk2 full stock deodex...its 100% stock mk2(newest ota) minus the locked down bootloader...it gives you the full experience without losing ability to flash aosp roms...don't forget to backup current rom beforehand... Good luck!

Luke
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Depends, is phone a MK2 build or MDK? Many people get baseband and build number mixed up. They are not the same thing

If its MK2 build you can't load a recovery like TWRP or CWM as the bootloader, since MDK is fully lock down. You only option is safestrap and a handful of safestrap compatible ROMS.

plenty of info here that you need to know. Plenty of threads to digest

Yes... And like he said there really are only a handful of safestrap ROMs... I'd suggest trying out hyper drive first and see how you like it.

thats correct. If a ROM is safestrap compatible and you flash the kernel module associated with your build.

Please note, that hyperdrive has a SPECIFIC safestrap ROM, don't download the other one. I have tried everyone to date and still go back to HD12

If you like the look of inverted, vanilla AOSP, look into Eclipse ROM. The developer, well known here, is nitroglycerine33.
