I updated my sgh-i747 successfully while I was rooted and now idk how to get rid of supersu and clockwork recovery. I need to send it in for repair and I don't want my warranty voided
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you on 4.3 bootloader? You have an AT&T s3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rileyfallan:
Idk what a boot loader is.. But yes it is an AT&T American model
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
After running the OTA update, your phone was running a stock 4.3 ROM?

Boot into download mode to see if your warranty has been voided by rooting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rileyfallan:
Yes it's running 4.3 stock os. I will check what it says in download mode and let you know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If the knox counter has been tripped, you could still send it in for repair. The service centre will either repair it, repair and charge, or just send it back unchanged.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rileyfallan:
We'll I went into download mode and it said nothing about warranty. Just the normal download mode
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What did it say exactly?

More info about Knox can be found here: http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rileyfallan:
It says "a custom os can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom os, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel." Nothing about warranty or Knox or the 0x0, 0x1

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
According to the screen, you have installed custom software and there is no warranty for your phone.

You can send it in for repair but, if the tech checks the bootloader screen, it may not be repaired for free under warranty.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rileyfallan:
Is there anyway I can work around my problem. Every time I turn off and on my phone the data sd my external ad card gets corrupted
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you referring to resetting the counter or the SD card corruption?

As far as I know, there is no way to reset the counter at the moment. There probably won't be a way to fix it since the counter is being tripped because an efuse is blown when non-official software is loaded.

For the sd card corruption, a custom may correct the problem.

Thankyou.. I installed 10.2 cyangonmod.. Seems to be working great

Hey guys,

My phone is done but i want a backup so i have some questions.

(I am running Android 4.2.2)

Questions:

1. Can i do a factory reset with my rom?

2. How do i backup my rom?

3. Can i delete the zip folder of the rom and gapps of my sd-card?

Thanks already!

Friso Kort
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
1. i think yes but not sure , some rom's after factory reset they don't want to boot up , you can try after back uping your current rom

2. go to recovery that go to back up and restore and press back up

3. if you don't need them you can delete that or store that on your pc if you want to reflash the rom so you don't have to redownoad them :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehEmperorsHand:
Hi guys, a long time browser, first time poster!

Star N9500, MTK6589

After an age trying to find a rooting solution that actually worked (vroot), for recovery I was advise to flash CRT 2.1 using MobileUncle Tools. It said it installed then rebooted my phone.

Alas now I am unable to boot into any recovery at all, Stock or CRT. I can only boot into Factory Mode, which doesn't seem too useful or user friendly and I can still boot my phone into Android.

If anyone can point my in the right direction to sorting this out I'd be very grateful. I'm pretty new to this flashing thing, but managed to unlock, root and flash my Nexus 7 without any issues!

Many thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehEmperorsHand:
No worries guys I sorted it.

Used this guide to flash CWM recovery automatically using MTKDroid Tools

Amazing work :D everything works except slow-mo witch works.. but is choppy and pixelated :)

Just to confirm for some neewbies around here

Will this work on I9500?

Yes, I9500 camera works on I9505 and vise versa! (since the libs isn't from I9505 neither I9500) it will work!

Will this work on AOSP

NO

somone is willing to backport it until year 2111 :silly:

Does it work on stock 4.4.x

Yes depending on if you haven't deleted anything necesarry for it, even if you're on stock rooted firmware it will work

Will this work on Custom 4.4.x stock based rom

Yes! as long as it's based on istck 4.4x based TW ROM, if you don't get it to work, post detailed info!

What Kernel you use,

What custom based rom you use.

did you read the instructions carefully?!

Now enjoy the port :cool:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] :
[MENTION=5334497]Djimmy[/MENTION], you know that

in installation script you can add so it deletes the current apk/odex files

also people who use Odex rom can use deodex version if they delete the dex files.

so basically no need to create "odex" version since it's basically useless

also what's the current state?

to delete files just add

delete("/system/app/SamsungCamera2.apk");

delete("/system/app/SamsungCamera2.odex");

in updater-script

and i assume effects work's fine, and if it doesn't (for anyone else)

Now are the slow motion files in the Camera apk or are parameters hidden somewhere in the libs? I guess it's a pretty simple fix to change the resolution of the 4x and 8x slow motion from 1280x720 to 800x480. But we would need to know where it's located.

Hey, I had a couple questions for those of you that use Google wallet, specifically tap and play. I'm planning on using it, and I verified my identity and all. The first one is how does it show on your credit card? Does it show the transaction of the store like "Starbucks," or does it show "Google Wallet?"

Second question is; do I NEED to use my credit card or can I just use my Wallet Balance, like could I add some Google Play credits on there and use them in store. If that's an option, would it be Credit or Debit when I select payment method in store?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpage:
1.The first one is how does it show on your credit card? Does it show the transaction of the store like "Starbucks," or does it show "Google Wallet:

Depending on your banking institute, it will show up as "GoogleNFC" with what store you were at when it was used, for example "GOOGNFC*STORENAME"

2.do I NEED to use my credit card or can I just use my Wallet Balance:

No you don't necessarily NEED to use a credit card, it would be processed like credit so you would select the credit option on the pad not debt.
