[General Questions and Answers] brianc49862:
Hello all and thanx for taking the time to read my question I am in a real pickle right now.

I was trying to change the lock screen wallpapers on my kindle fire HD and am very good at following directions, but when I followed the directions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1898198 my kindle did in fact get stuck in a boot loop. the only difference I think I have read is that everybody else says something about a yellow triangle but mine is red on my Kindle fire system recovery screen...(is there a difference in the two) ok my question is this, is there any way for me to get my kindle connected to my laptop so that I can access the internal storage to replace the framework-res file that I edited the pics on? I do not have a factory cable and am in the Philippines right now for a couple more months. this kindle is really the only thing keeping me from losing my mind over here out of being so bored :) is there something that I missed on the forum that somebody can point me to? I have read and read and read so many posts on the kindle fire hd and about boot loops but have not really found anything that I would be able to do right now for my problem and I would really love to get this fixed. I personally do not believe that my boot loop is a really that bad and don't think it should be all too hard to fix but I am stumped on what to do so if you could please offer me some sound advice and instructions on what to do to fix this I would be extremely grateful. if you need more info on my situation please let me know and I will do my best to give any info that I can. my kindle was rooted of course but I was not using a custom firmware.and I did back up the framework file however I had so many different folders open that I think that I may have made the mistake of putting it in the screen shots folder on my sd card portion of the kindle just like it said not to do in the post sadly. my mistake I guess I should have waited till that last cup of coffee before messing around with it :) please help me if you can and once again thank you for taking the time to read this and any info you have that may be helpful.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonny_c:
Since late November of last year my N900A has been running stock OS (Android 4.3) but is rooted via RDLV and soon after did the OTA update to MJ5.

I would like to start experimenting with Xposed modules but I would like to make a complete backup of my device just in case something goes wrong. Since our bootloader is still locked and and we cannot install Clockworkmod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project, what are my other options?

Thank you in advance.

Do you know if this is useful for stock ROM? Let's say I'm playing around with risky apps, before I use them, I could make a backup with Safestrap?

I'm a little confused about with all the custom ROM speak in the developers thread
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycoffman45:
yes it is you need a external sdcard though
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rust1druid:
Because the backup I just made (I went ahead and installed Safestrap, made a backup) is stored in the same place as the sytem, and if my phone were to become corrupt, that backup would no longer be available?

Thanks for the reply, just straightening this out in my head so I understand it better
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycoffman45:
correct i made a backup to external sd then took it out of my phone for safe keeping
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rust1druid:
If I wanted to then I could find that backup file, store it on my computer, and if it ever comes down to needing it, go out and buy an external and go from there? I assume Safestrap needs to be installed on the external sdcard, or just the backup file?

Thanks again for your help

I apologize if this has been asked before.. I looked for it and couldn't find it.

I'm on 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on my S4, and I'm trying to get to the update containing "ALJ1" in the baseband version.

Question is, if I install the 370mb update being offered, will I fully update to the latest version, or will I update incrementally, as in updating to the next version, then needing to download and install the next update and so on?

Thanks.

Ok so I rooted using a safe root method, I have no clockwork mod installed. I only have the stock recovery and the phones boots into that and also boots into download mode. What I did was used a bad app off the market and it set a custom font (with root permissions) as soon as I set it the phone went black and restarted, it booted fine until it got to the boot loader. Now its stuck in a boot loop of the AT&T logo. I have a fellow on Youtube trying to help me out but he is having issues finding a stock rom. I have also used ADB (android debug bridge) and i was gonna "pull system/font" and then push it back onto the phone with the factory default fonts. I cant seem to get it to work. I am out of ideas of what to do, I am new to this so I have never even flashed a rom, im needing someones help.

I did some reading and from what I can tell the custom font replaced my "default fonts" located in (system/fonts) is there a way to get to this file with the phone not booting up? If so how? I have the default fonts, all I need to do is just set the fonts back to default.

The guy from Youtube told me I can flash the "stock firmware" to the phone and it will flash a whole new system making "system/fonts" replaced and back to default. The issue is that we cannot find the stock firmware.

Does anyone know any kind of solution for me? Any way at all to get to the system/apps? Or maybe the stock firmware download? My phones info is below.

The download he did find for me was named "AT&T_I747UCUEMJB.zip"

When I extracted it I should have had .tar.mg5 (I might be wrong on the mg5 part) but I ended up with 3 things. I ended up with system, META-INF and boot.img When looking at the files it seems like everything that needs to be flashed over? It's just not in the wrong format maybe?

Model: SGH-I747

Version: Android 4.3

Root access: Yes (last I knew it was rooted, but I did a factory reset from recovery.)

Clockwork Mod: No (I can flash it though since I got download mode?)

Anyone can help me please? I have been racking my brain for almost 2 weeks now and its driving me insane! lol

Did you upgrade to AT&T stock 4.3 rom using an OTA update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
I upgraded using OTA directly from the AT&T servers (settings > about phone > check for software upgrade)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since you have a stock 4.3 ROM on your phone, you cannot simply re-flash the 4..3 ROM because the 4.3 ROM update included a bootloader that installs Knox and prevents loading any ROM older than 4.3.

Rooting the phone while on 4.3 will trip the Knox counter and void any remaining warranty.

You maybe better off flashing Philz Touch Recovery in Odin and install a custom ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
I keep downloading and downloading roms and I get the same results, I get folders and a boot.img.

The files I get are:

system

META-INF

boot.img

When opening the system folder I get:

xbin

wallpaper

wakeupdata

vsc

vold

voicebargeindata

vendor

usr

tts

T9DB

media

lib

hdic

framework

fonts

etc

esc

cameradata

bin

app

some others like build.prop, kern_sec_info and more

The META-INF folder contains:

updater-script

update-binary

Then there is a boot.img

What am I doing wrong? I think that I am extracting these files wrong maybe? When downloading it comes in as a .zip file. I use WinRAR to extract .zip files.

This is my exact steps:

Download with Google Chrome

Drag/drop the downloaded .zip from my browser to the desktop

Right Click, Create New Folder, name it "AndroidROM"

Drag/Drop the .zip file into "AndroidROM"

Open the "AndroidROM" folder

Right click on the .zip file

Extract here...

WinRAR extracts the files and I get system, META-INF and boot.img I see nothing of a .tar file or .mg5 (I forget that one always)

What am I doing wrong?

This would be the download I used, I also used others but this is the one I need.

Are you trying to flash a custom rom in CWM or TWRP or a stock ROM using Odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
You posted that reply as I was typing up the other one sorry about that lol ok so my KNOX is not tripped because I used a method that does not trip it. I will put the link of how I did that below and it does worked and its still 0x0 I did it myself and this is not what caused me to be bootlooping it was the font.

Ok about your idea of the Philz Touch Recovery and installing a custom ROM, can you explain this more? Like in details of if it works on my variant and my version (4.3 with knox)

As I said this will be my first time doing any of this, im learning as I do this right now so I am very confused at this point and all I want is my phone back. I honestly dont care what OS I get I just want my GS3 back. This was a big mistake trying to make my phone better with root and I just want it back to normal or at least running lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
I don't care what I get, I just want my phone back running and not to see that AT&T logo which is the bootloader lol I think that he wants me to do a stock ROM using Odin.

The guy on Youtube wants me to flash a stock firmware sgh-i747 rom, just the rom no custom at all to it, I think what he is trying to do is get the exact same rom that the OTA update had that way knox and the bootloader isn't gonna affect things? Is that possible? He is not having luck finding the download.

Oh sorry forgot the link in the last post

Here is the youtube video for the root without tripping knox:

You can't flash a stock AT&T 4.3 rom via Odin because there is no such thing.

Did you boot into download to make sure your Knox counter is still 0x0?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Interesting, I really dont know... put yourself in a unknown room, blind fold yourself and turn off the lights and try to get out lol thats how I feel right now, I honestly have no clue.

What do you recommend me doing? Is there is possible way for me to replace the system/fonts, I used ADB (Android Debug Bridge) but it only shows the phone as "sideload" when plugging my HTC Inspire in it shows the serial number I think? But also that phone is fully on where the GS3 is in stock recovery mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
All hope is not lost as your phone boots. Remain calm and I'll do what I can to help you.

First of all, boot into download mode: hold volume down, home button, press and hold power button. You will receive a warning screen, press volume up to enter download mode. What does the screen say? I'm asking you to do this to ensure that your knox counter has not been tripped.

Only thing that changed when rooting was the "system status"

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Yes that was one things that I think was noted in that video that it changes your system status. Whats that mean? Is this good or bad?

Is my phone really fixable do you think? Or being that this Knox and stuff it isn't?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I think it just means that your phone is rooted. Do you have any warranty left on your phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
As far as I know of no, the phone is going on 2 years old this July. I plan on getting the Galaxy S5 but that's still a ways away and I really like this phone so I want to get it fixed.

Can you get into recovery mode on your phone? If you can, try wiping cache and doing a factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Yes I can get into recovery mode (Vol up + home + power) which puts it into stock recovery mode.

I have already tried clearing the cache and a factory reset. What happen was the app I used took the default font and replaced it with a custom font in the system/fonts of the phone. So even with a factory reset its gonna revert back to the default font which is still gonna be the custom font the app did. So I need to get rid of all the fonts I have and replace all the fonts in /system/fonts which I think is what is done with the custom rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you want to flash a custom ROM and your phone has no warranty left, you could try flashing a custom recovery in Odin and flash a custom ROM. I don't think root is required since you're just installing a custom recovery.

I use Philz Touch Recovery which is based on CWM. Once you flash the a custom recovery, you can just boot into recovery mode and flash a custom rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Of course there is always risks when rooting/flashing roms but what would you say my chances are of getting it to work being that I have knox on my phone and a bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If I were in a similar situation, I would find a good KitKat rom such as Cyanfox or Validus13, save the ROM in its original zip format to a microSD card, flash Philz Touch Recovery, and flash the Kitkat ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Ok now being that I am using 4.3 and its OTA and has KNOX and a bootloader will doing it that way work? They say once you have knox you cannot downgrade, can you upgrade?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
There is no need to touch the existing bootloader because KitKat ROMs can even run on 4.1.2 bootloaders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Now what about the KNOX? Will that cause any issues? I just want to make sure that I cover all bases before doing this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Knox will not allow you to downgrade your bootloader. Maybe this thread will help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538991

It appears that flashing a custom recovery can be done as per root method # 2. You need a custom recovery before you can root rather than having root to install a custom recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Yes thats my issue, I have to have a custom rom first before rooting. Ok, if you dont mind... I would really appreciate it if you could actually go and get the links I need (to make sure I do get the right stuff) and just post them on here? Like I said this is all new to me and for my first time I would like to get it right the first time lol if you dont want to I understand, this is my mess... not yours :P

Downloads required for d2att:

Odin 3.07 from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680866

Philz Touch Recovery: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att (you need the tar.md5 version for flashing in Odin)

Cyanfox Rom: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/ (download the 20140114 experimental and save it to a microsd card).

Open Windows explorer and unzip Odin. Go to the Odin folder and run Odin as an Administrator. Click on PDA and find the touch recovery file. Put your phone into download mode and connect it to Odin. Remove the check mark from Auto-reboot. The only thing that should be checked is F.Reset Time. Click start and let it flash. When the word Reset appears in the box, disconnect the usb cable from the phone, pull the battery, insert the microsd card with Cyanfox, insert the battery and boot into recovery. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, flash Cyanfox, reboot the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Ok this would be all that is needed correct? That should get me back up and running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It worked for me on my Bell s3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Your's is running on 4.3 with knox? Also the Phil's Recovery link you gave me has 2 files to download. One is a zip file the other is a .tar.md5 which one do I download? Also on the rom did you use 2.01 or 2.02?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Nope. I got my s3 with stock 4.1.2. I flashed stock 4.1.1 so I could unlock my phone using the free method. Once I was unlocked, I flashed back to a stock 4.1.2, installed Philz Touch, wiped everything, and flashed Cyanfox 4.4.2 without ever being rooted.

I was tempted to update my phone because I thought I needed the latest bootloader in order to flash 4.4 ROMs. I experimented with my phone and found that I could load 4.4 ROMs with a 4.1.2 bootloader after looking at the update script; therefore, I never had to update my OS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Now being that im on 4.3 right now with knox what will that cause? Because you haven't done it on my version with knox? It makes me scared to do it and mess my phone up even worse, many cases when people tried custom roms they hard bricked and im really afraid it will happen to me because at least right now my phone boots... its useless but atleast it boots, is it possible of a hard brick? Do you know of this way working on 4.3 with knox? I thought all this time you did this on 4.3 already lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
According to this thread, you can install a custom recovery even if you updated to 4.3 via OTA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538991. Notice under Root Method # 2 that a recovery is installed before root.

I understand your hesitation. The only other method that may be of assistance is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068

It's much more complicated than the method I first suggested. Alternatively, you could have it fixed by a cell repair place via jtag.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Ok so im trying to understand this, I cant explain how I feel right now. Im way way out of my comfort zone with this but from the first link you provided the method #2 is for getting the device rooted. Thats not for a custom rom? I cant even get my phone to go to the play store as they're saying to do in their steps. None of them appeared to use a custom 4.4 rom. From my understands as long as you dont touch the bootloader you're fine. Im not touching the bootloader by flashing a rom correct? If so then that brings my next question. Can you do all this without root? My phone dont have root permissions anymore I dont think because I factory reset? I have no many questions in my head floating around its so hard to explain how bad I want to just see this back working lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Root is required to get access to Android's system files.Factory resets do not remove root based on my years of flashing ROMs unless the ROM was not pre-rooted.

By installing Philz, you are replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery. There are even custom ROMs that are not rooted but most are rooted.

If you were running a custom rom, you would already be running a custom recovery, either TWRP or Philz.

Cyanfox does not touch your bootloader.

Maybe it would be best to have it repaired by a cell shop. Cost should be under $100.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Ok so from your steps a few threads back you did not mention any root. I don't need root to do that to get kitkat on it? Im sorry for questioning you so much, I just want to understand everything before full bricking my phone...

P.S It is getting late here, so im not gonna try it tonight. I understand you have a life but if you can please stick with this thread and keep an eye on it for my replies. Tomorrow im gonna be busy but so far you and another guy named W0lf is the only people that have really seriously helped me. I wanna thank you so much for helping and dealing with me all this time. I feel like an idiot asking all this stuff and being such a worried person...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gotnitro:
Now by a repair shop what do you mean by this? I like in Jackson, Michigan (zip 49234) and I have never seen a place that would do such things. What would a repair place like this be called? Since you mention that I think spending the money to get it repair is a better idea since im no such much into doing this kinda thing myself lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Don't feel bad, I've been in similar situations. The important thing is to remain calm.

Yes, I'll keep your thread in mind. I'm not sure what the other person has suggested but I'd be curious to see if his suggestions are similar to mine.

You do not need root to install a custom rom, you need a custom recovery.

Thank you so much for all the help!! Like I was saying he is trying to get me to flash a stock 4.3 firmware and so far he cannot find it. He is the one that provided the root for me so his root worked so im waiting for him to find something. I don't want to offend you by saying this, its not that I don't trust you I mean you have been great helping me out but I wanna run this by him and let him check out your suggestion and see what he thinks. Get his input to have a second opinion.

Like I said I hope you're not offended, im just wanting him to look at it to see what he says because these phones are expensive, I just wanna be for sure before doing this. I will for sure let you know if it works, it could be a few days.. Im not gonna be home much tomorrow so it could be a couple of days but you have for sure gave me more hope. I now kinda have a second option if W0lf cannot find a way for me. So it makes me feel a little less stressed because ill be honest since I have done this to my phone its just on my mind all day and night and its driving me insane lol
