Yes!

And for those that want to upgrade to the latest, without the OTA...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdiff:
I'm a noob and trying not to spam, so I hope this question is appropriate here. I followed the steps in part 1 and Odin gave me a Pass message, but whenever I try do part 2.1 (install TWRP) or to use an app that requires root access (Titanium Backup or Root Checker) the app just freezes when checking root access. I thought maybe I didn't get a clean install so I reset and erased everything and repeated part 1 a few times, but I'm still having the same problem. I get a message saying SuperSU has stopped. Also, I keep getting Know Security warnings which I've figured out how to clear until my next restart. Here are my questions: 1. Am I missing something obvious here? Is this normal and therefore I should just continue with trying to flash a rom? (My main goal of all of this is to be able to delete Knox, so I'm not charging my phone twice a day and maybe go back to 4.1.2 from 4.3.) Thank you for the help! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
You might have to flash your recovery thru Odin.

The file is in the OP part 2...

And if your having problems with root you might have to update your super SU app.

Find it HERE:

Now as far as removing Knox!

You can just flash a stock Rom with Knox already removed!! There's plenty in the development section.

Skynote Air NOTE3 version.

For a fully stock feel use the Vanilla version...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phatryan69:
so from all my reading best way around knox is to downgrade away from 4.3 it till someone finds a way to erase it. if we wanna put custom recovery other then using odin right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdiff:
Thank you! :good: It took me a little while and I thought I soft bricked my phone, but it's now up and running with the Vanilla version of of Skynote.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yes

But as far as someone erasing Knox, or deleting it. The best way is to install a ROM with it removed from the start!!

I'm very happy your back up and running:thumbup::thumbup:. I know the feeling of not having a working phone!!:eek::eek:

so if i just odin a rom then add a custom recovery then knox shouldnt get tripped because it will be taken off from the developer right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I need more info on your set up!

Are you on the OTA update 4.3?

Or are you still on 4.1.2 firmware?

But yes all you do is flash a custom TW 4.3 Rom, and Knox will be gone. But the developer has to state he removed it...:eek::sly::p

You can do the same thing that the previous member did.:thumbup:

Go get Skynote Air Vanilla 4.3 TW Rom...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
So we've all seen the leaked images of the Sony D6503 Sirius . Is this device going to be the next Xperia Z, in other words the 1st half of the year flagship device ? Only then to be replaced by a replacement of the Xperia Z1 in the 2nd half of the year ?

I've come to the conclusion that the 2nd half of the year models are generally better, they have refined all the mistakes in the earlier model. For example they made the Z waterproof but we were stuck with flaps for the headphone jack, no camera button and an early dock connector. They corrected all these things in the Z1. If I remember correctly they did the same thing with the Xperia S and T. The 1st half of the year flagship take a big jump in design and features but can be a little rough around the edges , the 2nd half devices are more finished in my opinion.

I've have the Xperia S and now the Z. I'm wanting to jump onto the 2nd half of the year devices (Not buy 2 handsets in one year). Thats why i'm curious is the new Sirius early flagship or the late one ?

Does anyone else agree with my thoughts on this ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziich:
RE: Next Sony Flagship Device

well according to the rumors, it looks like a marginal upgrade from z1 but it still sports the same soc and camera and very similar hardware design. personally i do not see a reason to uograde
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
I'm more curious to know, if all the new apps will be available to the old Xperia Z Series. I had Smart Backlight and Motion Control on my old Galaxy SII.....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
What usually happens is, in this case, everything before the Z will be left behind in the next major update. But.. this could change anytime of course with KitKat being a lighter OS version than previous allowing for weaker handsets to still perform with new updates.

Yes. I want all the new apps on my Z now, i'm sick of installing ports from newer devices to my current device that isn't even 12 months old !
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
Would you be upgrading from the Z or Z1 ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziich:
from the z i will not upgrade until i see a 32gb variant with smaller bezels but that is just me

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id3alistic:
Yeah... I don't really want to upgrade to the Z1 because the bezel is bigger. They need to keep it the same size as the Z in future phones.

It does not give any ROI buying the phone now because the S800 finishing its life span in terms of the king of the benchmark. I am waiting for snapdragon 805 that is because it graphics benefit and it would be " future proof" because it is 64 bit. I am pretty sure that Qualcomm is going finishing the support for it because successor of the kitkat would be 64 bit so it will be a good excuse to just abandon devices business is business :p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Erm, S805 isn't 64 bits, and there is no info Android 4.5 or 5.0 or whatever will be 64 bits...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamtan:
the Z was the first proper flagship phone from Sony. Waterproof features and all.

It was the first and there were many lessons learnt from it. ie: flaps, display, bezel etc etc

Thus, come the Z1 which address the issues above (earphones without flaps, magnetic cable charging without opening flap, etc)

Hence, I would think the changes to the new phone itself would be marginal. be it Z2 or Z3 etc.

Even in the looks dept, there wouldnt be much difference because Sony is taking the Omnidesign as the core

The difference would be in the hardware spec IMO

But I seriously hope the camera would be improved cos we have the hardware for it.

I'm still hoping there will be Red for the new phone. I would move if there's Red. if not I might think twice about "upgrading" from Z to Z2

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuGzta:
Hey people,

I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?

My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.

My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much people.

Have a great day.

Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuGzta:
So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
you can only use a korean K rom, or a modify rom for the K version, otherwise you can brick your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuGzta:
But isnt the offical ROM like France one flashable on this phone? The K Rom. Hmmm.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervit:
Hi guys,

Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.

Thanks,

Vit
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
you have to enter it's secret menu, and insert the password, each network has it's own password.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervit:
Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
This secret menu allows you to modify the network, frequencies and other stuff, each korean service privider has it's own password.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervit:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
the password is network related
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervit:
I found the password on a Russian forum, it's 774632. But I don't see where in that menu I can enable USSD
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervit:
Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.

Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuGzta:
Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.

Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] the_jaguar:
I have a rooted MDK Verizon S4 with SuperSU installed. I had been trying to use Rom Manager to install clockworkmod recovery and every time, it comes back with the message that it has been successfully installed. When I try to boot into recovery, it wouldn't work. I finally installed GooManager and went ahead and installed TWRP. Now I am able to boot into TWRP with no issues, but when I try to overwrite and install clockworkmod recovery from within Rom Manager, it again comes back with the message that it has been successfully installed, but it still boots into TWRP.

I understand that I can use TWRP to switch over to a different rom, but I am just befuddled as to why I am not able to install clockworkmod. Can you guys please help me understand what I am doing wrong?

You can either ODIN the CWM edition you want (for example Philz Touch Recovery - http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltevzw) - get the md5 file of course for ODIN. You can also try to flash the zip file of Philz Touch Recovery from your SDCard (same site - http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltevzw) through TWRP.

Do any of you guys know if the Xperia Z1 C6906 also have the Touchscreen problems?

Because I just received my Xperia Z1 C6903 last Wednesday and now I can't use the phone at all, it just select random apps, making phone call on it's own, scrolling on it's own etc etc., when I first got the problem I did a factory reset, it worked good for just a few minutes, but now I can't even access the settings page, imagine to do a factory reset, I like this phone a lot and I wanted a good working phone and was wondering if I buy the C6906 would be a safe move or all of them have the same problems?

Or should I wait for the Xperia Z2? but don't know how much I have to wait, when will it comes out?

Or is there a fix for this problem?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fixoon:
I have had my Galaxy S2 for almost 2 years now and I'm still going with the stock battery and it have worked great but some time around the start of Novmber I rooted and installed CM 10.1 and since then it feels like my battery life have become worse.

I now run CM 11, but it's still the same with battery life or even worse.

My phone never last a full day with normal usage. Today it went from 100% to 9% in less than 5 hours with only ~37 minutes of screen on time.

Todays usage: http://i.imgur.com/Adl7YQv.png http://i.imgur.com/G80vf2e.png http://i.imgur.com/YtcqKh7.png

Also, when listening to music on Spotify (offiline playlists) it draws battery like hell, it lasts maybe 3-4 maximum of listening. And when playing games with the charger connected it drains battery faster than it charges the battery.

What could be the problem here? Would really like to fix this problem but I do not want to go back to the stock Samsung software. Please ask questions if you have to (if you need some more information or such) and I'll reply as fast as possible.

Install BetterBatteryStats (google for download link on xda) and look what's draining your phone.

Your signal is very bad, that drains battery too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fixoon:
So I installed BetterBatteryStats but as I restarted my phone the stats were reset and I can only view the stats for the current session, I will monitor it again sooner and remember to not restart the phone. However, when I restarted my phone it went from about 50% to 15% instantly, how did that happen? It has happened once before while running CM 10.1 also. Could it be that the phone just showed 50% but it really was 15%?

Picture of the battery drop is in the first post as I can't post links in replies (new user under 10 posts).

Also, how would be the best way to share my BetterBatteyStats? The included share feature just left me with an .txt that's a bit hard to read.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
From the screenshots i can see your phone is always in search of signal.

Change the modem or pit it on gsm network for the time being

Further, the battery drop of restart is due to chip not behaving. Or battery is dying.

Change the battery is what i advise
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christiaan91:
It's rather the other way around. I had these drops tens of times. Most of the times, if I leave my phone in deep sleep, it will go up again. So in fact the 15% is 50%(minus a percentage for rebooting).

Look what other people are posting in that thread and read the op before posting. But I think a txt file is good enough.

First try to find an explanation for this battery drain, before buying a new one.

I have a question about Spotify also, when I play music from Spotify it seems like it uses to much battery. I use watchdog and I get alerts sometimes that it uses 40%+ cpu, that doesn't seem right does it? And when I open CPU-Z it shows that cpu is at least 20%+ in use all the time with no other program running, that doesn't seem right either. Anyone have any ideas about this?
