Confused... Does the ROM boot as expected on a flash without my kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] K4get:
no the CM11.0 1/22 nightly didn't boot. it stayed on the boot screen.

with your kernel it did boot, however it kept resetting on the home launcher. over and over.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudspine:
I got my S4 Mini I9192 in December, but I can't remember the version it came with. Immediately after getting the phone, I updated to XXUAMF7, and rooted the phone using the tutorial by cheatman, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2368561

Everything was fine, but trying to find some info on the possible culprit for the battery standby drain, I found somewhere that it could be a problem with the Russian region UAMF7 rom. So, I downloaded, and installed the Indian DDUAMJ2 rom, rooting using arco68's files from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2494435, but didn't have wifi, so I then flashed MJNazari's kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2431953.

Now everything's fine, wifi works, still don't know about the battery drain, but information in the "About device" worries me.

The build number is fine, JDQ39.I9192DDUAMJ2, but the Baseband version is still showing I9192XXUAMF7 !?

Is this normal, and have I messed something up somewhere?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudspine:
Can anybody who's upgraded from rooted XXUAMF7 to anything newer tell me what their "About device" says?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Modem did not upgrade

Either flash whole rom AGAIN or only flash modem

This happens when u have "Custom" status in download mode.

U can extract modem from stock MJ2 rom tar and md5 it and reflash it

Here is the modem i extracted from MJ2 flash it with Odin CP option

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudspine:
Thank you very much!

I had tried flashing the entire ROM twice, even did a factory reset, wiping the whole lot of everything I had on the device :eek:

BTW, on a technical note, where does that "Custom" status come from? Rootkit? Kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Well, depends :)

For example if u take a stock rom from sammobile , unpack it and delete bootloader stuff when u`ll flash it status will go "custom" even if u did not modify other stuff

If u flash a custom kernel / recovery status will go custom

If u delete some "bloat" status will become custom

Many things will trigger that status :)

Good part is , u can come back to official if u flash a stock unmodified rom from sammobile and factory reset your phone after :)

Take care, sometimes u must flash it twice or more because modem does not get flashed :)

Btw, u are lucky u still don`t have Knox bootloader :D do not flash a stock rom from sammobile that ends with MK4 MK5 ML1 ML2 ML4 NA2 etc without modifying and deleting Knox bootloader :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudspine:
Thanks a lot for the info! The Custom status was then probably caused by installing CWM and removing all of Samsung's apps after rooting...

Google+ ate up over a gig of data in the last day. I disabled the app, but you can see in the data usage pic that it used 1.63 (removed app). I rarely ever use G+ and I don't sync anything.

Any ideas why this happened. I got a data all alert yesterday saying 65% was used, and another this am saying 90% had been used which was all G+!!!

[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
For those of you who don't know, Safe Mode is similar to what you find on a Windows computer. If your phone seems to have some sort of Malware, Virus or even an annoying bootloop then you can put the phone in Safe Mode to remove the app that you suspect is causing havoc. Its a great tool for anyone with major software issues.

HOW TO GET INTO SAFE MODE: Press and hold the POWER button then you will see 3 options (technically 5 but who's counting). Press and hold POWER OFF until the Safe Mode option pops up and your phone will reboot in Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode you will see a water mark that indicates that you've successfully done it correctly.

View attachment 2532204View attachment 2532207View attachment 2532209

HOW TO GET OUT OF SAFE MODE: Simply POWER DOWN your phone like you normally would and then POWER ON and your good to go.

[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
Hey, this is very interesting. As Nexus users, I trust most of us shouldn't need to use it due to recent nandroid backups we should all be keeping, familiarity with adb we should all have, acute awareness of sketchy looking apps we should all possess, and the end-all fix of factory image installation readily available.

But still, this is interesting. I booted up in to it to experiment. I tried launching Pandora and it worked at first. It got to the splash screen and even a screen after that; one telling me about a new feature of Pandora, but then it force closed after about 3 seconds. I was kind of surprised it even got that far. I wonder how far, programmatically, it got. That feature screen I saw might have been downloaded prior to me booting up into Safe Mode, was cached, and meant to be seen the next time I launched the app. Either way, it was interesting. I also noticed all non-system apps were removed from the app drawer. The only way I could launch Pandora is because it left the icon on the tray at the bottom of my home screen. I find that interesting because it was programmed to remove the icons from the app drawer, but not from the home screen? Also: its claim of all third-party apps being disabled is technically incorrect. It just disables all non-system apps. I have SuperSU, Cerberus, and AOSP browser installed as system apps and they are intact in Safe Mode. Under normal circumstances, I suppose the claim could hold some substance. Although, with carriers and their bloatware apps, the term "third-party" kinda gets skewed...

Anyway, whoa. Back to the original post. Nice find, OP. It's pretty cool that Android has such a state.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
Yeah, the SAFE MODE feature should only work for SYSTEM APPS and not 3rd party ones. Its a great feature for anyone having bootloops with apps such as SETCPU (if you mess with the minimum CPU speed and you run into constant bootloop).

I'm glad I could contribute my find with others in this community.

[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I'm honestly not sure how to do SAFE MODE unless the phone is booted up. If you can get into recovery then your best bet would be to WIPE the data & CACHE.

I'm not sure what even caused your boot loop since you posted limited information. If that doesn't work then tell me more and maybe I can help solve your issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nero:
Hi guys,

I have created a tiny app to automate my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) to do a simple task of my daily basics needs.

Basically it turns ON and OFF the bluetooth radio of my phone when I drive my car so it connects to the hands-free device of my car.

The application works great on my Android 4.3 device, however on Android 4.4 (KitKat) it doesn't work because it uses Google Play Services API for driving recognition and they (google) seemed to have changed the API on KitKat!

So my question is, can someone help me open a ticket to google to question about that changes on the API?

Google only allows tickets from anyone with one of Google Apps for Business, Education, Government, or Nonprofit accounts! :(

BTW: The app is named "bluetooth drive link" and is available at Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ferfig.bluetoothdrivelinkdemo

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kobeamox:
Hi guys, I have had my Galaxy note 2 I317 for only 7 weeks now with the 4.3 update. A couple days after I had it, I rooted the phone. However, 2 weeks ago, the sim card reader stopped working. I contacted samsung since I was still under warranty and they told me to send the phone so they can fix now. Now while trying to unroot it, I flashed it using the wrong stock firmware. I used 4.1 instead of 4.3 firmware. Now the phone is stuck to the Samsung logo and I am so depressed. I need help finding the 4.3 stock firmware and telling me exactly what to do in order to unroot the phone, reset the binary count to zero, so that i can be able to send the phone to Samsung to be fixed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShrekOpher:
Were you on 4.3 when you rooted the phone? If so did you trip Knox? You may not be able to get a warranty repair if you did.

However you may not need one. Have you tried just getting a new SIM card from your carrier? It might just be a bad SIM.

How did you come to the conclusion that the reader was broken?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ilaf0106:
If your stuck in Samsung logo try flashing 4.3param.tz using Odin.

And most likely you tripped knox.

So you lost warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kobeamox:
Thanks for your quick reply. I was indeed on 4.3 when I rooted the phone. ABout knox, I may have done it without knowing. how was I supposed to trip knox? I hope I did not. Regarding the sim card, the phone definitely has a problem: we have tested several sim cards from different companies in it, but it does not work. before that, I even went to my company, changed my sim card. That new one worked in my friends phone but wouldnt work in mine. the first day it had just a bit of signal then 2 days later, no signals at all. Please let me know about how I was supposed to trip knox, so that I see if I did it or not

Thanks

Next time, all you had to do was open SuperSU app and do a Full unroot from there, and run triangle away to reset counters.

Here's the instructions on Page 2 on the Dev thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1992303

If you do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618447, all you have to do is the Triangle Away to get counters reset.

Since you have rooted, and IF you were on the FULL Stock MK6 ATT ROM, you have tripped Knox. You will see that when you run Triangle Away or if you go into Download Mode.

Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.

Triangle Away will not reset Knox Warranty Void counter.

I am about to start the next step, but since I have to reset the binary count to 0 using Triangle away, at what specific step should I install Triangle away? and how should it happen? I dont think it is precised in the next 2 steps. Thank you and I will be online waiting for your answer in order to get that done tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
You do not need Triangle Away to complete any of the other steps. The upgrade to i317UCAMH3 does not do any checks.

You should be booted into the stock ROM 4.1.1.

These are your next steps

SECTION 2: OTA to MH3

You are now booted into the original stock 4.1.1 Note II ROM, i317UCALJ2.

You do not need to set anything up except your wireless connection to download the 302 MB OTA update. Cancel all setups and make a Wifi Connection. (connect to a wireless connection to not use Phone Data)

After you have made a Wifi connection:

Go to Settings> About Device> Software Update

If you have setup account info for anything that's fine.... Continue on.

It should come up and tell you an update is available.

[If it says update not available, go to Settings Date/Time and take auto sync off. Advance the date one day and try again]

Complete the steps in the Update Windows (Simply by clicking NEXT or CONTINUE)

* You have flashed using ODIN to the original stock 4.1.1 Note II ROM, i317UCALJ2.

* You have now OTA’d to i317UCAMH3, which is the required baseline to OTA to 4.3.

After the reboot of the 302 MB OTA install, your phone will hang on the Samsung GALAXY Note II screen.

There are some unique steps that need to be done to get the install to complete successfully for the i317UCAMH3 OTA.

-First step is:

- Download 4.3param_tz.zip from http://d-h.st/OYC

- Extract the .zip file to get to 4.3param_tz.tar.

- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.

Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.

Open ODIN and place the 4.3param_tz.tar file in PDA and flash.

This .tar DOES NOT contain ANY 4.3 bootloader. If you flash a .tar file that has a sboot.bin in it. It will fail. That is because the current OTA 4.3 bootloader is write protected, as of 1/19/2014 (when I wrote this)

Your phone will reboot and it will redo the OTA install and update again. Not the download portion, but the after download and reboot portion. Let it finish it 100 %.

- Pull phone’s battery and go into Download mode once again.

-	Second step is:

You will need to download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash it in ODIN.

http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lt...lteatt.img.tar

This is necessary for an openrecovery script to run that is stored in the /cache directory from the update.

- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.

- Open ODIN, put openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar in PDA slot. Click Start and let the phone reset.

- Your phone will reboot in TWRP. If not, pull battery and enter recovery mode boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER). The script will run by itself.

I may have to ODIN I317UCALJ2 if you can't find it.
