[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petrauskas:
Hi

I would like to know whether flashing a newer official firmware downloaded from sammobile would trip the KNOX warranty void?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to change my device's CSC code. Since it's not rooted or anything, I don't know any other ways of changing the code.

edit

no, it wouldnt. also, didnt find a way to change csc except rooting

Hello everyone. I installed on my htc sensation XE (after unlock and S-OFF) kit_kat_4.4.2_with_ION, precisely "cm-11-20140109-Sultan-pyramid" with gapps and sultan kernel Aroma. How can I install the ROM upgrade "cm-11-20140117-Sultan-pyramid" without loosing all my app and data (ex. text, cronology, app saving etc)?? do I have to do a full wipe or do I have just to flash the new ROM? Do I have to use an app for backups?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Just flash the newest rom over your existing installation, after that wipe cache and dalvik, that's all.

You won't loose anything.
[HTC Sensation] ekopay:
thankyou very much! I just did it :D Can I use this operation for all the update of this ROM?? I hope so..
[HTC Sensation] ekopay:
hello again..

I have a problem: I can not adjust the volume of the headset during the call. The volume is too loud and I had not this problem before I flashed the ROM. how can I do?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] skamster25:
Sounds like a bug from the rom.. you could up- and downgrade withouth dataloss/full wipe when you keep the androidversion (4.4.2 in that case) in mind.. and remember backups for stable times :)

<br /> now, i've a question too and i hope, it's right placed: whats about phone-encryption? I test it in every rom which is 4.4, but i always get the logcat-error, that it's unable to detect the block-size..

From my old phones i know about problems with nand and similiar.. but the a-encryption should basicly work with ext4 and emmc-storage, so would be wonderfull when its work (and its may not that big deal to solve..?)

but [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: thank you devs for all that fixing and developing!!!

Hi, yesterday i rooted my new M single sim, but I want more. For flash I must have unlocked bootloader (<= I'm sure?) but in software configuration is write I can't do this. What now? Is any way to jump over it, and flash M with blocked bootloader? Or maybe can I unlock bootloader but other way? I think the answer is no, and that is solution why in forum xperia m is maybe 10 roms :c.

Ps. I'm really sorry for my English.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenscivic:
I am with you.

I had my first note 3 for two days. Exchanged due to issues. Had the second one two weeks. Not that impressive for the specs. I am a huge samsung fan. I had my old Note 2 for over a year and only changed due to changing providers.

The Note 3 is bloated with so much useless ( Useless to me ) stuff. The Nexus 5 feels smoother and the build quality is s much better. Now with that being said, I would be hard pressed not to trade somebody the Nexus 5 for a T Mo note 2 w/ some cash.

I do love my Nexus 5 though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I've also had the Note 3 and I did love it minus the big screen. When it came to one handed use it was so uncomfortable to hold for a long period of time because it was so big. Ironically, at the same time I do miss the Note 3's larger screen. The N3 was a feature packed phone filled with gimmicky things such as the IR blaster (TV remote feature), air gestures, etc. If the Note 3 were a Nexus branded device I definitely would of kept it.

I mainly traded because I know its not as future proof and speedy with updates as say a "Nexus 5". Lol. Both are great devices. I don't regret getting rid of my Note 3 for the Nexus 5.

If you're a tech enthusiast then N5 all the way, if you're the average user then definitely get the Note 3

I'm coming from a S3 and had MOAR Rom on it and loved that Rom. I want to root my note 3 but the main reasons I want to are for a notification bar with white icons and pull down toggles. And for the rest of the Rom to be blacked out or monotone as possible. Any roms that come close?

Well, most people will tell you to... Wait for it...

Look through the ROMs we have!

Most have screen shots, and several have themes you can flash to change those sort of things. And while I don't know much about it, the exposed framework thing allows you to do that, if I'm correct? Micmars?

I believe as well that minim maximus has a blacked out theme for that...

Good luck!

As an aside, Wanam has updated a ton in the last few days. Your settings will maintain, just letting you know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cowmunist:
Hi, and if I'm breaking any etiquette or there's a post someone can point me to, feel free to give me a smack upside the head!

Here's my issue. I've had the S3 since release, and it's been a great phone to me. On my birthday this past weekend, a friend decided to play a prank and was going to do something to my phone (probably change my background to something stupid, who knows.) I noticed my phone missing very quickly, called it using another phone, and in his drunken stupor he tried to "cutely" hide it in his jacket and completely missed the pocket and threw the phone, quite hard, onto the floor. This resulted in a crack screen, but the phone does turn on yet.

Now here's my issue. This phone has been rooted since the instant I was able to, and was running a KitKat ROM at the time of the accident. I did have the extra insurance, which I utilized and filled out honestly without thinking about the fact the phone isn't stock (next day I was still a tad drunk. Mid 30's crisis and all that.)

So now I have to return the phone. What is my best bet? Should I attempt to get it back to 4.3 using these instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586319) if I can even get into the recovery blindly? Should I damage it more? Am I worrying for no real reason at all? I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
If you filed an insurance claim, don't worry about it. Asurion doesn't check to see the OS, like Verizon does when you try to 'warranty' the device. If it's broken, they sell it for parts or they refurbish it, flash it stock and Verizon is never the wiser to what they had to do to your device.

I speak from personal experience. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cowmunist:
Great, that's excellent to hear. It's in pretty bad shape, honestly. I generally take good care of my devices, but it's been around the block a few times now. This is the first time I've actually ever had to use my insurance, so I wasn't sure about how they handle it.

I had heard some bad things about the replacement devices they send out due to being refurbishes, but so far the replacement device I've gotten works well. It's battery lasts for quite a bit more than the two I switched between before, too, which is nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Don't worry about the refurbishes... I've had 5 total in my years with Verizon and have never had serious issues. AND if you have the 'extended warranty' coverage with them, like I do, if the phone wonks out, take it to verizon as a warranty replacement. The only problem I ever had was a wonked modem (hardware) on an old Droid RAZR; I took it to VZ and they warrantied it it, giving me a brand new one. Note, you might get a refurb through the warranty process, but VZ has a lemon rule, so if you have to return 3 of the same device, you can get a different model, brand new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Lemon rule is not true. You MIGHT get an employee who is soft and doesn't want to hear you complain about your phone anymore and make you an offer they're not supposed to. If you do, good for you I guess. But there is no lemon rule. Your warranty covers the phone you purchased, not a different model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
My wife worked as a tech in a store for 3 years and I've personally had a manager tell me that's their policy when I had 3 Droid 2 phones go to crap on me. Maybe it's changed, but vz had a lemon policy that my wife used to have to abide by.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I'm a tech in a corporate call center. They don't have techs in corporate stores anymore. I don't know about vendors, but all replacements go through either tech support or customer service. Like I said, you might get someone who just wanted you to go away and offer you something you are not entitled to, and of course there are instances when exceptions are made, but as a policy, warranty covers purchased device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Must have been something her regional manager had as a customer service policy in those specific stores; she was told it was a company policy, but that could have been a misstatement.

Anyway, to the OP, don't worry about refurbishes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Yeah definitely don't worry about "refurbs". Most refurbs are phones that have nothing wrong with them and were sent back because of user error or they wanted a different phone and thought if they said there was something wrong with it they'd get a new one. Refurb really only means it can't be sold as new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cowmunist:
I dealt with a similar situation in my old compy shop 10 something years ago. We were resellers for a few brands (Acer, Lenova, some others) and the Acer "refurb" units were pretty much all returns to big box stores from people that decided that the laptop didn't fit their needs. Lenova refurbs, on the other hand, were just that. They were still very reliable, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
Ive heard of the "lemon rule" but never had the option. Wat ive heard from am employees its not a policy but they make exception like that to keep customers happy and coming back. Its more of a YMMV type of thing. Honestly i wanna work at a vzw store ill put xda as my reference :) . Once i was opening up an insurance claim over the fone the lady was nice look up my info amd told me of i had extended warranty wich i did to go tp vzw and ask for a new fone.

Hello People,

Plz help me. my SD card is not getting detected in any custom rom. I have tried CM 11 beta 3, paranoidandroid 4.0+, Beanstalk 4.4.2.

plz note the card is detected in the recovery [I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0].

My card is sandisk 8gb class 4.

It was working fine on CM11 beta 2 with 1 partition. but then for installing Cm11 beta 3 i went with AmalD's method of using 3 SD partitions but it got stuck in a bootloop at the CM logo. so i decided to revert back to CM11 beta 2 with single partition but now the card doesnt get detected. i have tried using other roms too as mentioned above.

please help . thanks in advance.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
First make a backup of your card by connecting it to the PC..

See if it detects the card in the PC.. Now open minitool select that drive.. Delete it.. Then click on that.. Create partition as fat32.. now place it in your phone.. Create partition using recovery..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] YedaAnna:
Thanks man :) worked perfectly. So is it the case that i cannot use roms that utilize multiple partitions.. should i buy a class 10 card or something...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
No Its not the issue of the card its related to the partition order or might be type you can say..

You are not alone in this partitioning thing even i tried this my card is class 10 still i faced bootloop :laugh: so instead of creating partition i delete some apps from rom then flash it. Then manually place the deleted apps in system folder through a file manager..:highfive:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] YedaAnna:
well i'm just gonna have to stick using single partitions for the time being and wait for galaxyfreak to release the beta 4 for CM11. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menster:
My 7.7 was modded with pa when I bought it and I was happy with it. The only problem it had was sometimes hanging on the boot animation if alot of apps were installed after some time. A reboot (or more) would fix that and later on only a dalvik cache wipe would, so I left it on as much as possible.

It had to be sent to Samsung for a charging problem and it comes back with 3.2

I never used stock on it so I was curious, but this soon became irritation at the lack of speed and low available memory (a bit more than a dozen windows open in opera and it closes already?) I understand now why it was modded.

So, new to modding really, which of these mods is really dependable. I am ready to try out a few, but when it is ready I want something I don't need to look back at.

I am thinking pa or cm, but I see there is also an official jb for the tab? But a good download link for it seems not readily available. There is a torrent available on tpb, but is it genuine I wonder.

Any tips appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
For official firmware:

1. samsung-updates.com

2. sammobile.com

For the best multi-tasking mods, you need to patch your services.jar and change your OOM adj values along with LMK minfree values. You can Google about all this.....

The best way is to use the V6SuperCharger mod found in XDA. It is not for the light-hearted or for user that won't bother to read first. The dev expects this, as should all ;) If need be, you can "bullet-proof" certain apps from getting killed off.

With a little searching, there are also many installation guides found on the internet to assist you.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menster:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but changing the firmware will not make me able to do an OTA update of the offical JB on my European 7.7 while in Europe does it?

My idea of it is, that the firmware needs to be changed to an Asian one and then the official JB package needs to be downloaded and flashed using Odin (i.e. manually).

Anyway I will do more reading to be sure, because this whole modding stuff is a wide subject.

Thanks for taking the time to post.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Correct. But not difficult and easy to flash. Many guides about how to use Odin. Take your time and yes, read until your eye balls pop out :) Make sure your data from internal sdcard etc is backed up before flash.

The available firmware is all that you will get. So only option is to manually flash. Forget OTA, there will be none as Samsung have shown no intention to upgrade any other region or device model (P6810 or I815).

In XDA, we generally are not concerned with OTA, or try not to rely on manufacturer broken promises of support. We do it ourselves. ;)
