[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kjinmn:
These were my main concerns:

#1 & #3 are what I need for function on a daily basis. I have never rooted before or flashed a ROM. I will gladly accept any advice you would offer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Then...

Then if 1 & 3 are critical, and you understand that tripping Knox will make life more difficult inasmuch as you will not be sending your phone to Sammy for repairs, then root, install recovery, and install the Stockish DeOdex ROM from freeza's thread. There's a hotspot mod that is DeOdex that Josh Beach has made available on his Website for the entire community running KitKat.

Ultimately I cannot advise as to whether tripping Knox should be a concern for you. However, if it is your phone and not one provided for you by a company, and you're not going against an employer's policy against rooted devices, then tripping Knox is less of a big deal than some may make of it. I thought it was a terrible deal, and didn't buy this phone until I made the conscious decision to say screw it, tripping Knox is fine for me. I then, and only then, bought the phone.

There are a ton of ways to get your phone repaired, none of which require sending it to any manufacturer. I have 2 Sprint stores within 10 miles of me. Both will repair the phone or exchange it if I have a dysfunctional phone that has been rooted. Others on these forums have reported Sprint techs denying them service if Knox has been tripped. You need to make your own choice on this one.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kjinmn:
I have made my peace with the idea of voiding warranty. I talked to a Sprint store tech, and he said no one in the store even cares about Knox. If it breaks, bring it in, and they will fix it.

So my plan is to:

1)Upgrade via the OTA. File

2) root via one-click method

3) install the Stockish DeOdex ROM from freeza's thread

4) Install the hotspot mod that is DeOdex from Josh Beach's Website.

Sound good?

Close, but Sligthly Altered...

You're close; I would amend it slightly (my comments as to what each stop give you as an outcome are adjacent each numbered item); also, the files you will need are embedded in the links below, so grab them prior to doing any of this)

1. Upgrade via OTA, since you're status is official

-->Let phone do it's stupid updating system garbage, blah blah, don't waste your time dialing in your GMail address, &c because you're going to be doing this again shortly

-->Gives you stock, unrooted phone up to the latest Sprint build for our phone

2. Install TWRP recovery for this phone version 2.7.0.0, flash via PC Odin (Version 3.07 is here if you like, works just fine)

-->Gives you the ability to flash a root file, or flash a pre-rooted rom, back up your phone setup, flash mods like the hotspot hack, &c.

-->Instructions basically are to power off your phone, take any casing off of the phone, right-click on the Odin.exe file, select run as administrator, hit OK/Yes from Windows User Account Control prompt, load the tar file I linked in the PDA slot of Odin, put your phone in download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power), plug the phone into the USB port on your computer that you've used in the past (this way the Samsung drivers for that device won't be loading while you're trying to get recovery on your device), have the phone in the palm of your hand, have your fingers ready to hit Home + Volume up, then hit start on Odin, once file flashes and phone starts to power cycle (like in 5-10 seconds after hitting start), hit those two buttons, you're in recovery

3 Download freeza's Stockish DeOdex NABD ROM from this link, put it on your phone's internal memory AFTER you've taken the upgrade to KitKat, check the MD5 of the file download using this tool, unzip onto your PC, execute the file named "MD5.exe," copy the MD5 for the ROM I linked into the top portion of the program (you'll see it, the button "Paste" is adjacent the text box), MD5=7d0749d2362d872ca8db7c524d25bf40, copy that and paste it into the MD5 file and make sure you have a clean download

-->You now have a ROM that you can fully set up your phone, import your contacts, download programs, flash mods, anything you want that is compatible

4. Flash the Hotspot Mod provided by Josh Beach at his K3 site, under MODS for NABD, hotspot link on this page

-->Gives you the hotspot mod you want

Have a blast!

I want to thank you. This is the first easy-to-follow simple guide to rooting I have had to follow. It all went flawlessly. Stable as ever, and wireless works great!

Thank you very much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Greatness83:
thanks for this thread OP and for this answer micmars. too bad i rooted before updating and now its blocked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
No problem at all. Actually, the answers to your setup are answered here as well, but this was tailored to someone whom hadn't rooted and could take the update

I see on your thread that someone got you running, which ultimately is what we like to hear (ie, you have what you want, and nothing less).

Congrats!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Liquorsicc92:
I flashed cm11 on my note 3 last night and today I downloaded the latest OTA that was just released. When I try to apply the update it has a pop up window which says "This feature requires a compatible recovery or updates will need to be installed manually." I went ahead and tried to install the update but it failed. I am using CWM 6.0.4.5. I was wondering which recovery is compatible for CM11 OTAs if there is currently one available. If not, will i have to do a system whipe before manually flashing the updates and also reflash Gapps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
You should be able to use TWRP to flash from the CM Updater app, the CWM isn't fully stable...pretty sure anyways.

No need to wipe system when flashing nightlies, no need to reflash GAPPS either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Liquorsicc92:
Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Launchpad McQuack:
My S4 LCD screen cracked and went dead. I have root access and can adb in see it as an adb device. I also have titanium backup as an app but I hadn't run a backup in a while. I want to be able to either run a titanium backup from adb and pull the backup to a PC (to do so right now requires unlocking screen which i can't do), or extract the /data directory to a PC. I've already pulled the SIM card and put it in a new phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have some data in certain apps that I want to recover badly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
You should be able to pull up a terminal or cmd prompt and simply type something like adb pull storage/sdcard0/Android/data or adb pull /data/data

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Or get an MHL OTG cable and plug your phone to your tv.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Launchpad McQuack:
Thanks for the advice. I can get storage/sdcard0/Android/data but this does not pull the same as an adb pull /data/data would. i was also able to pull /system. adb pull /data is not working for some reason, no thoughts why (i.e., it shows 0 files pulled).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Android Commander

Just download and install "Android Commander" which is a windows utility.

Here is the direct download link for it:

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B44Nx1hrRITWOVczc0FzZEt6OFk&export=download

It works just like any other windows explorer but it's made for android and

it has all the adb commands built-in so you won't need to type anything at all.

With that you will be able to access ROOT and copy any files and folders to

an empty folder on your desktop.

The screen does not need to be on in the phone, but if you want root files your

phone needs to be rooted.

It's really excellent and is one of a kind android utility, you

won't need to install anything at all in the phone itself.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Sounds like it's not mounted. I would recommend using the too Misterjunky mentioned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Launchpad McQuack:
Thank you for the suggestion. I installed Android Commander but it is unable to connect. It says "Connected device has status offline and can not be used. Please reboot your device". I did a reboot and it says the same thing. It also has a loading bar that continues to say loading no matter how long I let it run. I don't know if this is because the device connects only as a digital camera (it was the only way to get it to connect to a PC in the beginning) - I can see any image file in windows explorer, including in the root directories. I can see the data/ directories I want in explorer, but I can't see/access the actual files in them via explorer. In explorer, the empty directories are listed under device/Phone/. Is there a way to mount the /Phone directory and then access it, with adb maybe? I've been trying lots of adb protocols and no luck on /data - adb shell ls -R /data gives "opendir failed, Permission denied" and adb root gives "error: device offline". Is there a way to gain permission to this dir (mount?)? Is this because I can't accept the RSA key through the touchscreen? Thanks in advance, I'm a bit clunky with adb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Ahhh, yeah, you need to be able to accept the connection. I'd get a cable to hook it up to my TV and transfer over all the important files. This way you can run a full nandroid backup of your phone and restore it afterwards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Launchpad McQuack:
Thanks for the suggestion. I have an MHL cable that goes micro-USB to USB (and then I can get USB Male-Male), but how do I hook it up to a TV, run a nandroid, and then pull the nandroid to PC?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] putrio77:
Are you used custom rom or official rom?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Try a replacement cable. The cables are flimsy and will allow the fine wires to wear and break. Already replaced 2 on my Amazon Kindle, before getting my Note 8.0. Right now I have a small stock on replacement enhanced micro USB cables for backup.

Yes, I tried all the original samsung charger with original samsung usb cable and still it doesn't work, I can only charge it now using my powerbank.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] yongling713:
I never root my note, official ROM I guess, the original one since I bought it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] thorjansen:
My stock cable screwed up after just two weeks. The micro connector was way too loose and didn't make a connection without a lot of jiggling. I replaced the cable (only) with one from one of my cell phone chargers and it works fine. Samsung saved a few cents by putting cheap ass cables on their chargers.

[Google Chromecast] tiffkka:
Hi All,

I bought a chromecast few days ago and cannot seem to connect it to DIR-615 router. The Chromecast website says DIR-615 with SW version 5.1 is a compatible router but I have SW ver 3.1 in it. For my router's model (rev C0 this is the most recent SW version.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] psych2l:
Try changing it to another channel and also check if dd-wrt has a firmware available for it.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Before you go flashing a custom firmware I suggest you go to the Manf support site for your router and see if there is a firmware upgrade available.

It is likely that your older version does not support what is needed and the newer firmware adds the UPnp and Multicast capabilities required for CCast.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Or you could put DD-WRT on it.
[Google Chromecast] mathorv:
dd-wrt does not provide such a reliability or security as openwrt/gargoyle.

Contrary to DD-WRT, openwrt and gargoyle is open source.

I recommend gargoyle if you like GUI:

http://www.gargoyle-router.com/

http://eko.one.pl/?p=openwrt-gargoylepl
[Google Chromecast] caifaz:
Hello, I have a DIR-615 rev C2 with DDWRT, and it's working fine use the latest version found here ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2014/01-10-2014-r23320-fix/

Just to clarify you need to use C1 version for C2 routers, make sure that your router is c0 as I've never seen one in the wild
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
OpenWRT does support the DIR-615 C1 and C2 revs, but unfortunately my i1 rev is not yet listed as supported as far as I can see.

A lot of people also like Tomato firmware, but it seems to be more strictly limited to routers with Broadcom chipsets (the C1/C2 and i1 have Atheros chipsets).

I understand that all of these alternative firmwares originated with the open-source router firmware that Linksys published for the venerable WRT54G, so while they differ a little in the GUI, they probably all have very similar capabilities under the hood when it comes to the detailed Linux command scripts that are usually given for DD-WRT.
[Google Chromecast] tiffkka:
[MENTION=2346119]caifaz[/MENTION]

Ah, I will go home and check. Maybe a typo.

Thanks for catching that.
[Google Chromecast] tiffkka:
[MENTION=744716]Asphyx[/MENTION]: The SW version I have is the last SW manufacturer released. So I guess, I will have to flash it.

Thank you, all. I will try to flash it over the weekend.
[Google Chromecast] tiffkka:
Thanks psych2l.

I tried changing the channel, but it didnt help. I will try to flash it.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well Google said it works with V5 and you have V3....

That suggests there is a V5 firmware for your router....

Unless the versions your talking about are for the hardware not the firmware.

In that case the Router may not be capable at all even after the Custom flash.

I agree 100%. I just got my daughter a Moto G GPE and since there are no working recoveries out for it yet, I couldn't flash a custom ROM. However, with root and Xsposed/Gravity Box, I can set up everything she (and I) need on her phone. In some ways, it makes custom roms obsolete for casual users.

After trying two other methods that didn't work on Kitkat 4.4.2 I tried COOPTX method and it worked. Do not try to get TWRP recovery because it is buggy.

I like the looks of Gravitybox but it seems to be messing up the magnet-activated wake-up of the phone when using the flip cover - at least with the settings I am using for this module - so I had to deactivate the module for now until I can find out if there is a solution with different settings ...
