[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
Is it possible to update to CM11 nightly (or any other 4.4 roms... I'm not familiar with the scene) from 4.3 stock?

I did install KNOX, and then removed it. And then the Samsung service reflashed the rom again. So I don't know about it anymore. Didn't install it since then.

My story:

As many of you already did, I also installed the new update. Read below if you are interested (but you probably know all this anyway.)

So. A few days ago Google+ started to eat up my battery. I disabled it in the Application Manager and did not have the updates installed either. But it just started. My usual battery life dropped to only a couple of hours at max.

So I fired up Google and it said I have to install the updates. So I did.

Nothing changed. Then I went into Google+, signed in, and then signed out.

Nothing changed.

So all in all, I have a piece of crappy brick that I can't use anymore.

Bit of a rant: You gotta love this. You buy an overpriced product and they f... you over a thousand times. App makers, Samsung (4.3 crapdate), and EVEN Google. Then why the hell would I even want Android ever again? Seriously. If I would have to buy a phone now, I would pick an iPhone, no matter how much it costs more. This is just unjustifiable. "Hey customer, thanks for buying our product. Now let us make it all crap." ... WHY?

So yeah. Now I have no choice but to lose warranty (which I already used a few times because this is REALLY a crap quality phone). Not that HTC One X was any better, it had a faulty GPU/motherboard like 4 times. (Thanks Nvidia!) ... Sorry guys, I'm just infuriated.

Wish I could just change the phone down. I was thinking about Sony, but if Google can buttrape you anytime, why bother? No guarantee I can just fix it on Sony either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
CM10 is also fine

As I read the nightly can disable all GSM related operations (call/sms), so CM10 is also fine.

I just want to fix my battery life and have a stable phone again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
you should download your firmware from here

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9305&pcode=0#firmware

wipe everything then go into download mode

Use Odin http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/

and after you flash this, do a factory reset within the phone or through its recovery

I just did this with my wife's 9305 and its running like a champ
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
Thanks for the quick reply.

As I said my phone runs the 4.3 firmware now without any issue.

Except the 4.3 slow encryption and the huge battery drain. The phone got reset like 3-5 times in the past few weeks too.

So now I wonder if I can just install CM10 from 4.3.

But I need some confirmation as I know you cannot downgrade 4.3 for example. (Due to KNOX or whatever.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Yeah should be no problem. My wife's battery drain happened too. I found the problem was with the SD card. I formatted it with the phone and it seems to be as good as it was on 4.12

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
I've got no SD card.

Thanks for the replies too, but I still want a 100% CONFIRMATION that I can downgrade.

Having a brick is still worse than having like a few hours long battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Look you can go from any version of cm back to stock. CM doesn't change your boot loader or your modem. The only time your stuck on a version of android is when it comes to stock. Like as a note 3 users we are stuck on KitKat because they updated our bootlaoder. Cm based Roms it doesn't matter.

And you should get an SD card to hold your back ups just in case.

Also if someone helps you on xda it's kind of nice to hit the thanks button. It allow others to see that their comment was useful.

Good luck.

BTW if your new to rooted and ROM installing I suggest reading through the Dev section for the i9305.

Also google your issue word for word and there are tons of android forums out there which may help you.

A lot of times if you open a thread that has been answered a lot they will ignore it or throw words you won't like your way.

So good luck

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
I know you cannot downgrade from 4.3, nor use Triangle Away (due to KNOX).

Does this affect the move to CM? Or not?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
has nothing to do with cm and triangle away will restore your binary count not warranty bit but I am not sure how knox effects the s3 as it does with the note 3

either way it never hurts to try things
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
Yeah if I'm not going to get an answer in a few hours I'll give it a go. It's a brick anyway, heh.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoalinagent:
Just did my wife's i9305 today. Moving to cm/omni shouldn't be an issue, however be warned you lose a lot of features like HDMI out and the camera doesn't work as well. I just put the galaxy project ROM on there as the i9305 has the extra GB of ram which keeps stock nice and smooth, also you can debloat if the need be. And if you run into camera issues like I did simply flash stock kernel then reflash rom. Honestly unless you prefer KitKat its a waste of the extra ram your device has as most of it simply will never get used.

Also with wanam xposed you can customize everything! Can't do that with an iPhone. Sorry to hear you have had a bad run but while Samsung's software isn't exactly great the hardware is beast and once you learn how to configure it and unlock its full potential you will see you made the right choice.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h8Aramex:
Thanks for your reply!

- How worse will the camera get?

- What other important features you know? (HDMI does not really matter to me.)

I do use it a lot, so I don't want to lose everything. (Only use simple picture/HDR modes tho.)

Tried again every kind of combination with Google+ and it's still eating my battery like crazy.

I mean... what the hell is the "Disable" for then? It "almost disables" the app or what? lol.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francyesco:
i got a lumia 520, i really need to change the 3G DNS to block my carrier from draining my credit visitin some domain...

i readed someting about ProvXML and these values

but where i can find and change it!?!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Unless Nokia has a special app for it, you can't change things like that. The DNS servers aren't user-configurable on WP8 in general, unless you connect to a WiFi network that doesn't use DHCP. Processing provxml requires capabilities that third-party apps aren't allowed to have.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francyesco:
Probably, but all "pay to view" domains are not resolved with google DNS for example ... So without a connection to these domain (is impossibile to have a full list they are changing and adding new too often) i will solve my credit draining problem.

Already tested on an android device.

...so, help on how to on Windows Phone?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
... out of curiosity, since when does any such thing as a "pay to view" domain even exist? I'm pretty sure that's illegal under ICANN rules and, in the US and many other countries, net neutrality (which is unfortunately under attack here...)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francyesco:
is not exactly a paytoview domain, or better, it is but carrier is advising you about it (are some newspaper or ****ty ads website, and sometime a wrong click cause some cents go away from your credit).... i simply don't want to fall in this domains and the DNS trick is the only "easier" way i found
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Yeaaaah that's definitely not supposed to exist. IP addresses (or even domain names) aren't like phone numbers, where different ones can charge different amounts, and for good reason: you don't know what the address is before you connect to it, usually (as opposed to, say, a 1-900 number in the US). If your carrier is charging you extra to connect to certain domains, that is your carrier being evil (and, while I still don't know where you live, unlawful in much of the world). There is literally no way that any domain can itself enforce that kind of behavior.

Have you tried just calling the carrier and asking them to block things that would charge you like that? *Most* US carriers (despicable scum though most of them are) will let you do things like block premium-rate SMS or calls.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francyesco:
I'm in italy, blocked all premium SMS and and all stupid things that i can block like this.. But the carrier is giving me no way to block these domains (lot of people have this issue with this carrier because is not easy to know where exactly you clicked and payed...no doubt that the carrier want to be evil)

Btw, having google DNS can also help me in a better response time opening new site, and phishing things for example...No problem if i need to "root" the device, but for me its a must have :(
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I'll bear that in mind should I find myself in Italy, then. By the way, don't get me wrong: I support what you're trying to do, even though I'm shocked that it's needed.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible on WP8 right now, at least not on Lumias. I could look up the required APIs and write an app to call them, but

A) It probably wouldn't have enough permission (ID_CAP_NETWRKING probably won't cut it; that would be a *huge* security threat if it could).

B) There isn't any way to "root" or jailbreak a WP8 Lumia phone right now, so you can't use any higher privileges for third-party apps.

It is vaguely possible there might be a Nokia app that gives this ability somewhere, but I don't know of one. I have a Samsung phone, though, not a Lumia.

Hi all , yeasterday i was updateing my recovery to 6.0.2 then as soon as i had started update , there was a message error tell me "faild" , then i rebooted my mobile and i dosen't work or do any thing .

what should i do ?! help me ,please?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:
Flash stock rom... it shud fix it... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
how to use it ?

how can I use it ???
[Samsung Galaxy Star] smack67:
What mobile do you use?

Did you try to boot into bootloader ... fastboot and flash the old recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
reply

i use samsung galaxy star GT-S5282 and i tried to start in recovery mod or update mode but my phone isn't response ?!

and i tried "flash stock rom" but every method need to get in recovery mode or update mode
[Samsung Galaxy Star] smack67:
You first should start into fastboot and flash the old recovery - just downgrade it

I had the same on my mobile... downgrading recovery helped
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
erere

how can i downgrade it ? if you and any one have free time , please , enter to my PC by team viewer and do it for me ?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] smack67:
It's really easy....

Search the xda for fastboot, download this file for your system (windows or linux) - install the device-drivers (Windows only)

then plug in your mobile and reboot into bootloader... fastboot

Open terminal or Cmd - test if your mobile is connected by typing in "fastboot devices" in the path where fastboot is placed

If it doesn't say "waiting for device" you are conneced

Download the cwm recovery for your device and copy it to the path where fastboot is placed

Then type in "fastboot flash recovery *name of your downloaded recovery-file*"

Wait if the prompt is back - usually some seconds only

Done

Reboot bootloader ... start recovery ... flash your ROM ...

Done too
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
a

the big problem that the mobile isn't work it's turned off and i can't turn it on after i was updateing the recovery so any way depend on that the

mobile is turn on not working and if i tried to open mobile in recovery or updateing mode , i have got any result and mobile is still working so tell my way that not depend on the mobile is turned on
[Samsung Galaxy Star] smack67:
Hi

as long as I know mobiles there is no way to flash anything without booting up to fastboot. You need energy to do something with it. Your car won't run without fuel too!

But did you check your battery? You might charge it with a different wire or/and charger (yours might be defect)!

As soon as this is checked you will know if your mobile is dead or still alive.

You have to know: to flash the wrong recovery usually cannot break your device. I dit it twice and my HOX still is running properly.

This is why I ask for your battery - you need more than 30% battery life for a secure flash!

If it works you have to boot up into bootloader and check the Code name of your device. Only with this you can find and flash the matching recovery and ROM for your device.

If nothing works you might give it to a professional for a try to repair it.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
thanks

ok , smack67 , before i updated recovery , i had charged battry to 100% so i don't think that battry is the reason

but it doesn't work also :silly:

but i rememberd some thing , there was rom for andriod 4.4 for galaxy mini in my card and while i was update recovery i chose by rwong the galaxy mini rom instead of the recovery image and while install the rom it told me faild then i chose the recovery image and install it and told me faild also .

so what are you say the problem can be from wrong rom or what ?1

i attached video about problem

[Samsung Galaxy Star] thenatureboy:
u should flash the stock rom using odin and booting ur phone in download mode which can be done by holding the home and vol dwn buttons and powering up the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
this way also not working
[Samsung Galaxy Star] smack67:
Uhhh that sounds really bad - my ideas are off. You should search the forum for "unbrick device". As soon as you installed an unmatching ROM, your boot.img is the wrong now. That's a piont where I cannot help. Too less experiences.

Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Star] LehKeda:
Thanks

Thanks to every one that help me , i'm sorry for tired you all :) good bye :)

Be sure that i love to help as good as i can!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rastaguy:
Hi I am a long time lurker and not much of a poster so I don't have my 10 posts so I can use the developers section!!

I have a d800, I initially rooted with the first version of IOroot available for the d800. Up until tonight it has stayed rooted for the most part. There have been a few times when I flashed something in TWRP and it would say that it appeared I lost root would I like it to reinstall SuperSU, I would let it, then reboot and all was well.

Tonight it randomly became unrooted. And in an effort to give all information I did flash the phone with SuperBam about six hours before for the first time, before this happened.

When I attempt to rreroot using IOroot 20, the computer and phone see each other fine. It will not run the batch file and I can't quite make out why since the command prompt closes to quickly. I decide to just do it manually. I type in adb shell and it responds with the proper information. I issue the command to push Su onto the phone and it successfully completes. I then reboot the phone and pull the USB cable when the screen pops up. After I plug it back in I type adb shell, but instead of the # it is a $. I exit and try to run the remaining commands anyways and get this error:Mount:operation not permitted.

I am running 8.1 on my PC, it is the same one that initially rooted the phone. Using TWRP and running ProBam with PAEK.

I was told to post the results from four commands to et assistance:

1.adb shell "getprop ro.product.model" LG-D800

2.adb shell "getprop ro.build.target_operator"

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

3.adb shell "getprop ro.lge.swversion" No response

4. adb shell "getprop ro.build.fingerprint" lge/g2_att_us/g2:4.2.2/JDQ39B/D80010d.1376460177:user/release-keys

Since I have worked in IT for 20 years, I know most are just going to say get rid of ProBam. I am hoping someone has seen this resolved without doing yet another reflash. If not I will start redoing it in a bit and I like ProBam. and don't really want to get rid of it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

Hi,

I'm using bubor's JB 4.1.3 ROM for almost month and two/three weeks ago I noticed that my physical keyboard isn't working correctly. When i try to use keys labeled blue (used with alt key) they are not working. Also for example when I press question mark i get: ' apostrophe instead. Direction keys are also messed up.

Has anyone similar problem with this ROM ? I'm not sure is this because I changed something or there is something beneath ?

This looks like proper key mapping is missing or is not set correctly. Maybe you can direct what are the correct settings ?

Using his kitkat dated 20140118 and all the keys do what I'd expect them to, save two (I expected Alt+Sym to open a smilies dialog but it only prints out a single smiley face; the microphone opens app switcher?)

So maybe you just need to update to a newer version.

That's about the price for the original cover. You won't really find it that cheap cause I believe the original cover has either NFC or a wireless charging chip infused to it. If you look at the back cover you'll see it has some metal connectors on the inside.

so if i change it will i break the warranty?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
If you decide to change the battery cover and neglect to replace it with an OEM battery cover then of course an LG technician will know that you're using an aftermarket battery cover and it will in fact void your warranty.

Its just like any car you buy from the dealer. Even if you change the radio it will void your warranty. Everything must be factory spec! So what you can do is whenever you want to take it in for warranty simply switch the battery cover back to the original one and they'll never know.

I've rooted my zte v987 because it has Chinese android only, next Ihave installed on it:

V987 Android 4.2.1 V2.0MOD by BM, after that the 3rd and 4th version also.

Now I have ROM BM 4. Noone solved my problem.

The phone is manufactured August 2013. It works good with 3G also, modem works in mode H or H+. I have tried 3 networks in my country and it works, anyway there is a network in my country which has voice/messages disabled and has roaming for data, the network is only for data service, no voice/message, this network works on my huawei and it works also on another v987 (probably version with another "baseband", I guess)

My V987 cannot connect to the network.

I have made a log from logcat

logcat -b radio -v threadtime *:V

There is that log:

The radio had been disabled, I had enabled it, the v987 tried to connect and failed

The network is called "FullName is Aero2", numeric "mccmnc = 26017, pnn = Aero2'

For comparison

There is a log from connecting to the network
