I will soon be getting a samsung galaxy g4 32gb phone from att. I want to know the best way to root it and remove the bloatware mainly att stuff, without bricking or messing up the phone. I love the ability to root i did with my on sony xperia play. Unfornately the last phone i had a lg optimus g crash and burn after rooting and trying to remove bloatware. So I want to make sure I have no problems. I heard it was easy and simple to do with a galaxy line but i just don't want to mess it up i can afford buying new phones.

thanks

I rooted mine with Chaifire's Autoroot and it was easy

but after rooting you dont get the updates!

so i want to unroot to get the official updates!

anyone knows any way to root without cancelling the updates?( I KNOW THAT after each update the root will be gone ! but i can reroot after each OTA updates!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Bet you're not on mk2 firmware, I bet he is. Chainfire isn't going to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
Root alone doesn't block the OTA. In fact, going from MF3 to MK2, you could first root with jortex's method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387577) and enable survival mode. Then after the OTA, you will still have root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Sina Irvani:
Tnx but somehow I DON WANNA KEEP THE ROOT!

i want it gone! without getting all my apps wiped out and i jus wanna get my updates back!

can u show me a 100% safe way to do it?

I rooted that phone with kingo root through the computer. Bloatware on the I removed bloatware with ROM toolbox pro however when trying to do ota update it looked for the bloatware and when it didn't find it ota failed. (looked that up in the failed log - hung on not finding chaton) flashed mk2 rom then only froze the bloatware. have to see if the next update will fail I don't think it will though because when I only froze bloatware on mf3 I did get the mj9 ota update successfully

I have a similar problem with my O2 XDA Exec and someone told me to run the following cab file in the extended rom and this fixed it perfectly.

For fun I made custom textures for 'Flappy Bird'

When I try to move the new texture file into the .apk it doesn't work and it disappears after I load the .apk back up.

I am using root browser, I basically can't do anything with the files in the .apk besides extract or view.

Also when I tried to modify it with my PC It wasn't even there, I tried and tried by making files and changing the extension but it wouldn't appear.

How can I fix these problems?

And it is the best device I ever used.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user822:
I feel like everything is a little "undercooked" now.

64bit CPU's are on the way.

4K Displays are in the discussion while the GPU's would still not be powerful enough to drive games on them in a serious way.

Nvidia and Qualcomm start adding new GPU features like Desktop Open Gl, Tesselation. Meanwhile Snapdragon's OpenGl Es 3.0 drivers are still broken and unusable.

Intel wants to enter the ARM market and could bring some really good CPU's.

It is time for the manufacturing tech to go below 28nm, which has been used for quite a while and is still used in Snapdragon 805 and Tegra K1. It could save some serious Watts.

The HEVC/H265 video codec is on the way, and until now only the Snapdragon 805 can handle it.

The European GPS System Galileo is supposed to start this year, yet none of the phones features support for it.

And then there is always the simple truth that the Nexus 4 is still incredibly powerful and fast.

You could argue, that tech always develops incredibly fast, but I will wait and see how it works out until 2015.

I made myself a list of "must have" features, before I buy a new phone again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnhsd0319:
Umm I guess I just want to try new phones. Nexus 4 is still powerful and fulfills my needs but I want to experience other new phones in the market

Hi guys! I have weird screes issue on my phone. some of the screen isn;t working, i've testes it under development ptions... my upper part of screen isn;t responding to touch but sometimes works. i;ve have s-off and rooted phone, my rom is evolver 2.5 on other roms issuee is the same, but on the miui screen works just perfect why only on that rom (i've tested only evolver 3d, yasv4 cm10 and miui)

btw. sry for my english :D

For now my screen is fully working on evlover 3d but i don;t know when it;s gonna had this issue next time (i;ve turn standby mode for a few times)
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonymuszymus:
Maybe it's about the miui...it's using other system files or methods and that's why...if you have this bug again install an full rom not an Backup and do a full wipe,I think it will help :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
The 3d is known for poor digitizers. When they start going out it is a hit and miss issue but progressively get worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] pwnageforever:
I had the same issue on my E3D but in the lower part of the display. I think the only way to fix it for a longer time is to send it to the repair. (I recommend this step only if your warranty isn't void. Otherwise you have to pay over 80€)

If you want to lock your device I recommend you to follow this steps:

1: flash a stock rooted rom

2: relock bootloader

3: revert back to s-on

4: unlock bootloader using htcdev

5: s-off it again using JuopunutBear

6: reboot

7: download the right ruu

8: execute the ruu

(I'am not responsible for you device but this worked for me)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sojourner353:
Hi all,

As the title suggests I need to get my HTC One back to S-On to send it back for repair, as I'm from Australia there is no RUU available for my Carrier but I have flashed back to stock using a Guru Nandroid, currently it's Bootloader is locked it's CID is OPTUS001 (default) and HBoot 1.55 S-Off which I need to get back to on and it's had it's latest OTA installed.

Earlier today I did achieve S-Off and locked but ended up with the tamper flag above locked which obviously couldn't be returned like that.

At the moment I am wondering if I need to downgrade just HBoot to 1.44 so I can S-On again but I'm worried it will show tampered again after I S-On like it did before, now in further if this is the only way to do it how can I get HBoot 1.55 back in after I S-On, I haven't found any firmware downloads out there at all specific to my device.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateboi81:
Just leave it s off its not a problem. As long as tampered is gone and boot loader is locked that is fine
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sojourner353:
Ok thank you for the reply, I have tried so many different things today and to be honest I'm surprised it's not bricked doing some of the things I have done, cheers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateboi81:
Going from s off to s on is actually one of the easiest ways to brick your phone if your not careful. There really is no need. Some phones actually come out of the factory s off. And with warranty repairs I've heard of plenty of people with custom roms and unlocked bootloaders get it fixed no problem. Yours sounds fine :)

My touchscreen just crapped out on me a couple weeks back. I've bought a new phone and was able to retrieve all my documents/pictures from my One XL as it functions perfectly in all other aspects other than the touchscreen.

I was hoping to turn this into just a not so portable PMP having it permanently sit in the dock so I can watch movies and youtube while on my PC and control the phone via the usb port with my mouse. I tried my OTG cable with a usb mouse but that doesn't seem to work.

I also tried android screencast which while it mirrors the device's screen onto the PC doesn't actually grant any control over the device.

I was wondering if you guys knew of a way I can bypass my lockscreen via using the ADB as that's the first hurdle I need to get through.

I want to root/unlock my Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE for the purpose of installing Cyanogenmod or another custom ROM. I don't like the extra apps that are bundled with the phone, and I'm disappointed with the overall speed and responsiveness of the device.

I was attempting to follow the guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214653 but did not meet the prerequisite of being on the correct software version 2.17.605.2 (my phone is on 2.19.605.2). I have attempted to flash RUU 2.17.605.2 using the bootloader, but the update is failing with the error "Main version is older" (full text below).

I've taken a look at some other threads here and from what I can tell, it may not currently be possible to root this phone if you have the latest OTA update (2.19.605.2). I'm hoping that somebody can disabuse me of this notion, however; Can anyone confirm either way?

Perhaps a more pertinent question: Are there any custom ROMs that do not require root to install on an Inc4g? I've done a bit of searching but it seems not a lot of ROMs support this phone to begin with. Is there any way I can accomplish the two goals I mentioned above without rooting?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
so far - none of the old methods of root work on the new ota...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wiredman11:
Thanks for the confirmation.

Anyone know of a way to successfully roll back the OTA update? I was unable to find anything with some searching.

Or how about making my phone faster/removing crapware without root?
