You don't need s-off to unlock bootloader and root. Of course if you want to be able to use the fingerprint scanner, you would need to be s-off and locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Can we use safestrap on our phone and then can I flash any tmo rom on the rom slots as normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
Yes, I understand safestrap for hlteatt to work well on hltetmo. Search the forum for more info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
I looked and I can't find any info on tmo... But I was curious if anyone is using it. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
Why would you need it, your device is bootloader unlocked, if you attempt to use this on an unlocked bootloader, this could possibly brick your phone, as it patches a bypass to the bootloader...no, this would not be wise...be careful..

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
I just don't want to trip knox. ... And it's Kool to flash 4 roms to one phone to play around with. .. But yeah I don't want to brick it. .. If someone had used this successfully on this phone I would like to know. ..If not I hope they do something like this for ours. ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
I guess I wasnt very clear before. Several people have already used safestrap on this device (T-mobile note 3/hltetmo) without any apparent issues. All I did just now was type safestrap into the search box on the main page of the hltetmo page and this thread appeared.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Thanx only thing is you can't really flash anything tmo right now. .. And no asop... I'll wait till they expand. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
I think what he was getting at is that you can flash AOSP ROMs, however since they contain a custom kernel it will trip KNOX. So if you are trying to avoid that, then no AOSP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] benji667:
My knox is 0x1 so if im not afraid of tripping knox can i install aosp and kernels thru this if i installed it on my tmo n3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
I'm not sure TBH, very little experience with safestrap.. If you are already 0x1 why not just install a full recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] benji667:
I like the rom slots... Its way nicer to be able to have the current rominstalled and build one on the side... Or i can have a tw and a aosp both installed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] benji667:
Any ideas ppl?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Namolas:
People with unlocked boot-loaders that want to be confined to a bootstrap........ hell hath frozen over. :eek:

I just paid a final Verizon bill of almost $1k (including ETF's) because of locked bootloaders and being confined to SafeStrap. I am forever grateful to Hashcode for the freedom we have been given but you guys do realize that safestrap partitions up your internal memory into 2GB blocks for system partition and 2-4GB blocks for data partitions for each slot. If you really use your phone you are going to be plagued with out of memory warnings. Plus you cannot flash kernels meaning no AOSP roms either and no more Aroma installs among other things.

When I had my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and my AT&T Note 3 I always flashed everything to the stock slot and forgo the ROM slots alltogether. Then just backup and restore everything to the stock slot exactly like it was a real recovery. SO you might as well just do the same on a real recovery on the T-Mobile Note 3. Just backup and restore different ROM's (including AOSP!) at will. It may take a little longer to switch betweens ROMs this way but at least you don't have to jump through all those hoops or worse yet really mess up your device using a Safestrap not meant for your device.....all IMO of course.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeman55:
My phone was briefly dropped in water. I quickly dried it off, and powered down the device. After letting it sit in rice for a day or so, I powered it back on. It boots up just fine, but the touch screen does not work properly. I can't even get past my pattern lock screen, because the touch screen does not sense all the places my finger goes. I am considering two things. 1 - going the RMA process and returning the phone to Google for another one. I'm sure somewhere along the way they'll discover that the phone got wet, and I'll be screwed. 2 - I've read online that you can disassemble the phone, and put rubbing alcohol on it, and blow dry it and fix the water damage.

My question is. Will removing the back, and trying to fix the device myself void the warranty. I would love to get the device working on my own, but also fear voiding out any possibility to use the warranty in the future. Or if I can't fix it on my own, I'd like the warranty/RMA rout to fall back on :D

Any help, or experience with this is much appreciated! Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
You dropped it in water. You already voided your warranty. Opening the back and trying to fix it yourself really doesn't matter at this point does it. If you manage to use rubbing alcohol and through some magic of chemistry reset the sensor and return the device for RMA all you've managed to do is commit fraud. Be a man and accept responsibility for your actions instead of expecting Google to pay for your mistake.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Not true. The warranty doesn't cover water damage but the warranty is still intact so long as you don't try and repair it yourself

To the OP - just claim on insurance or buy a new one. You're not gonna fool Google by trying to cover it up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Doesn't anyone get insurance? Mine is against damage, loss, theft, drops, water, whatever.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
That makes no sense. If the device is subjected to things not covered by the warranty, it is null and void at that point.

Same with opening the the device and perfectly putting it back together. They may never know it was opened and probably will still honor the warranty for other claims later down the road however. Water damage isn't covered by warranty as you mentioned but that doesn't mean you have a warranty anymore either. The microphone could stop working tomorrow and it wouldn't be covered by warranty because of previous water damage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Not true. Say someone dropped it and the screen cracked. This isn't covered by the warranty but if the microphone went this would be covered unless it can be proven that the drop damaged the mic. OK, in this instance the water has killed the phone but the warranty isn't technically void in its entirety
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
Perhaps. Google MAY cover things clearly not affected by or caused by water. Something like the button rattle. However currently Google replaces the phone with a new one, not refurbished (at least according to the rep I spoke with).. They will NOT do that with a phone that has water damage. This would open the door for people to drop their phone in water and then get a new one claiming button rattle.

The OP is clearly having issues related to water damage and is therefore not covered under warranty.

To the OP, I would suggest leaving it in rice for several more days and trying again. Sometimes more time is required. Sometimes it doesn't help at all.

[MENTION=3534105]joeman55[/MENTION] - if you paid for the phone using a credit card (that provides accidental damage warranty), you may want to go that route.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeman55:
I wish. I just paid for it using my debit card. I think for now, I will let it sit in rice for a few more days. Then, if that's still not working, go the RMA route. I had a friend who did that, and it worked out for him.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarRaven:
I see, one guy has no honor, but he's your friend.

So its OK.

Things perpetuate if no one makes a stand to do different.

i am a U.S user of a factory unlocked xperia z, & i have yet to receive the android update.

i still enjoy the phone, but to see others receiving such an update, while im left without it, has become puzzling.

any resolution which does not involve flashing or boot unloading or whatever those intricate processes are?

thanks in advance ! :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander.:
Just be patient just like the rest who didn't received the update yet :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
Have you tried a thethered update (with PC and Sony PC Companion)?

Else find out what Model (I'm guessing C6602) and customization number you have. Open the dialer and type *#*#SERVICE#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*), then go to software info. the Customization Number is a 8 digit number of the form XXXX-XXXX. Then go to this thread and see if a update for your version exists. If it does, you should be able to get it via PC. If it doesn't you have two choices. Flash another (Generic) ROM or wait. I understand that you don't want to Flash because you are not familiar with the process, but it is certainly manageable by someone with average computer skills (patience, willingness to read and to double-check) which you seem to have.

EDIT: Just had a look at the "Latest firmware version per customization" thread. If you have a C6602 1271-0119 Generic US, you need to do the update via PC, the OTA update is not available yet.

I think he need to update via EMMA(because the unlocked bootloader) and not via PCC or SUS.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coirpre:
He specifically said that he did not want to unlock or flash. I interpreted factory unlocked as unbranded, because Sony would never "factory-unlock" a bootloader.

[LG Optimus G Pro] notifyme:
I have an LG Optimus G Pro (E980). It is rooted and Lokified. However, I am still running a debloated Stock ATT ROM. 4.1.2. Yesterday, AT&T began pushing an Update to my current Value Pack Build, with the message "Software Update is Available". with a request to select the push message to begin the update. Of course, accepting this update will result in my having to use LGFlashtools to reinstall the ATT .TOT file.

I have tried to find the [sys]elements that would kill this message, as accepting it is, ultimately inevitable. A slip of the hand and I am in for a few hours of rebuilding. I have frozen a couple of likely candidates (com.lge-fota something) and com.lge.permission something). While they have not proven to be needed for any of the uses of my phone, neither have they stopped the push message.

Does anyone know what might block this "Update is available" push message?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jreed3786:
Just freeze LGApduService 1.0. You're welcome.

I was WRONG. Apparently it was just freezing SoftwareUpdate 4.1.0. Or maybe both combined. Not sure, buddy! I just did the one I told you and STILL got update notification. When I froze SoftwareUpdate 4.1.0, it didn't come back. :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] marshwc:
I have a new P605 tablet, and I am seeing problems running the Angry Birds games (Angry Birds, Angry Birds Friends, Star Wars II). The games seem to have problems when pulling back on the slingshot, almost like it's missing some notifications (slingshot seems to hang, re-touching the screen brings it back to life). Or sometimes it seems to get a release while aiming.

I don't think it's the multi-touch issues, as I've tried that test app, and I don't see anything (jittering, extra hits, etc).

Playing by the stylus seems perfect.(and, in fact, it seems a little easier that way, as it's more accurate for aiming).

Download and install Ubuntu (version 12.04); or create a live CD; or use the WUBI installer to install Ubuntu.

Boot your computer to Ubuntu (do not use a virtual machine).

When the desktop appears, click the Ubuntu icon, and type terminal in the text box that appears.

Open firefox and download the file in the link at the bottom of the page, allow it to save to the default location.

Switch to the terminal window.

Connect the phone via USB.

Type the following commands (note: linux is case sensitive):

cd Downloads

unzip PblClear.zip (download link is available on the website)

chmod 755 PblClear

sudo modprobe qcserial

sudo ./PblClear

The phone should now exit QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. If the phone reboots to android or if the charging LED lights you have been successful.

I'd like to block OTA updates - my very old Incredible had a way to do it either via a mod on a ROM or by removing some .apk file I believe.

Is there an .apk responsible for checking for new OTA updates that I can rename or remove?

Ideally it'd be reversible once it's known how the update affects a rooted phone. Really wish VZW would just allow you to pass on updates instead of forcing them on phones.

Also, not interested in going beyond adb root on this phone so ROMs aren't really an option, I actually think stock is fine. I'd be happy with the phone as is for the next two years until my next phone even.
