factory kitkat

Yesterday I buy new s939 and had to change factory Indonesian language to english.

out of box factory Specs: android 4.4.2 Baseband version

MOLY.WR8.W1 315.MD.WG.MP.V34, 2014/02/24 14:43

Build number VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_ST_S939

I tried genius, vroot/iroot, framaroot, genius root, rootmaster and kingroot, none work.

Only kingroot allows me root but I have to re-root after reboot.

While rooted, I made backup with mtk droid root & tool v2.5.3.

I also tried readback rom method with sp tools, always stops @ 800mb, nearly 75% completed because of usb disconnect. I tried this 4 times already.

How do I root???

Since one clicks and readback method didn't work for me, what is most stable rom & method you suggest that will work with my device without sacrificing functionality???

Since I have backup with mtk tool backup, am I safe from bricking phone, just in case?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prefchiba:
The latest kingroot

You should use latest kingroot(ver.4.5.2). Then, re-root is not necessary.

kingroot before version needed re-root.

But you should recognize kingoroot is dangerous.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prefchiba:
The simplest method

There is the method to easily get the complete root permission in s939.

By this method, by not using PC only using s939,

in addition, you can use Kingo Root without using dangerous kingroot.

1. Please install and get root permission by "Kingo Root.apk".

This process advances, and you will fail at 90%-progress.

However, you should continue it.

2. Please install "kingo superuser" using google play store.

You will get temporary root permission in this, even if you failed at the stage before.

3. Please install "RecoveryInstaller.apk".

You can fetch this from "4shared.com" as "RecoveryInstaller_S939_1.1.apk."

This application is written in Russian, but you can understand how to use.

4. Please pick up rooted ROM for s939.

You can pick it up if you search it by using key-words "s939" and "rom".

(This site is "needrom.com".)

You can choose favorite ROM if you register e-mail address.

I chose "MIUI7 5.9.26 multi", and I like it very much.

5. Please install the application which can "reboot recovery"

using google play store.

6. After "reboot recovery",you can use CWM Recovery,

you have to wipe cashe and data properly, and please flash rooted ROM .

My s939 was the slightly doubtful thing which installed kitkat,

and became Chinese factory mode by button operation,

but got complete root permission by this method.
[General Questions and Answers] dennis96411:
I'm running CyanogenMod 11 on my Samsung Galaxy SII T989. I was just using my phone like I normally would any other day, and decided to reboot it since Bluetooth stopped working (a bug which disappears after a reboot). It wouldn't boot for a few minutes, then it went into a bootloop. I just let it sit for awhile and it finally booted. The result is a 300 MB "lost+found" folder with over 10,000 files with generic names looking like "#12345". Are those files going to be used anymore? If I delete them, will it affect my apps?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
Try downloading clean master and see if it will detect what it is, try the junk clean up first then if it won't go away try the advanced cleaning but read what it is first.
[General Questions and Answers] MeasleyBeasley:
Temporary fix

I've had the same problem on the same device (SGH-T989), using a variety of ROMs (stock, CM, AOKP, Carbon). Clean Master didn't find these files. Using ES File Explorer (root enabled) I was able to go to /data/lost+found, select all, and delete them. It was a little buggy (ES File Explorer claimed 0% completion/said there were no files to delete), but it worked.

From what I've read on the subject, lost+found are junk files and are not called by running applications.

I expect these files to reappear soon, but they're easy enough to delete.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] josephpatrick:
hi, the post for Note 2 seems to work fine for S2 as well. If I type "Thw", it corrects it to "The". However, it does not always work for all words. I normally use continous input and hence not really useful to me but it may be useful for some.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093588

For auto-ocrrect, I simply replaced the entire function ".method private processWordSeparator(I[I)V" in the .smali file 'SwiftkeyQwertyLatinInputModule' for S2 (.method to .end) [see attached file for the function]. This code was taken from the apk file attached to the above post by "eclipxe"

For long press delay, I simply changed to the following code.

---.method private getLongpressTimoutDelay(I)J

.locals 3

.parameter "keyCode"

.prologue

.line 507

const/16 v0, 0xc8

.line 508

.local v0, delay:I

packed-switch p1, :pswitch_data_0

.line 513

const/16 v0, 0xc8

.line 516

:goto_0

int-to-long v1, v0

goto :goto_0

.line 508

:pswitch_data_0

.packed-switch -0x7a

Thanks to "eclipxe" for the original post for Note 2.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
Hey all, have a few issues I am hoping to get figured out.

First, I am wondering if there is a way to re-calibrate the screen/tablet? When I take a picture, the tablet needs to be at about a 5-10* angle for the picture to be level.

Next, I know there have been quite a few GPS issues, but are there any "fixes" yet? I have downloaded and installed GPS test and I can get a lock after about 3 or 4 minutes, but Maps has NEVER found my location. The little GPS icon on the top left corner shows it is on and "locked" (not flashing), yet Maps always says "waiting for location" It never finds me though. It has been this way since I bought it.

Brew
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
no one else is having gps problems? I know many posted about them when the tablet first came out, surprised no one else is still having the problem. Maps still doesn't ever work for me. Never does find my location.

Next, I think the camera itself is not set correctly. When I use the level feature of the camera, the table shows level, but the picture itself is way off. Like the camera itself is twisted in the opening.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] cars10k:
Don't have any problems with the camera, works fine for me.

GPS isn't really working for anybody - for some it helped to go outside and let it get the first fix. after that it works much better - for example for me.

but compass is still not usable =)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
Thanks, I did a complete wipe last night and now maps will at least acknowledge that I exist. The camera is definitely installed crooked.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ouzo:
The Tegra Note has eight magnets in it, I'm not sure the compass will ever work properly ;)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] mickjack:
Been playing with my new toy, one of the reasons I picked this was the compass, I like the idea and one works well on my phone. Also have an interest in the night sky - but google sky map and sky safari type apps cannot figure out what direction to show, I was starting to think the magnets were a problem, quite good magnets - I can stick the tab to the fridge !! guess I will have to live without this function until my next tablet.

Magnets have anything to do with the speakers ? anybody know.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ouzo:
I'd noticed that the compass is problematic too. I guess it would be possible to open it up and pop them out, but I'm not brave enough to try.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] mickjack:
Had those thoughts to........ may give it a go when the tab is old and not quite so loved, just popped the back off a semi bricked pipo m7pro, can see the edge of the screen now and the switches don't sit properly.

Google sky map not so bad last night, just a quick test but it seemed to find its way around the sky, big moon found easy etc, still jumpy if you know what I mean. And the compass sometimes works - but seems to be 15deg off from my smartphone, need to get a propper compass and check then out!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hotboy_92:
Camera too

I have the same camera issue on my son's TN7 and my brand-new TN7 I got this week. Rear camera is tilted by about 10 degrees (checked with a real spirit level). Messes up some apps that need the device to be straight and use the camera.

Anyone else got this problem? Front camera is fine.

Well, I am new to this forum I apologize in advance if I have posted it in wrong place

I am having Samsung Galaxy Ace plus (GT-S7500),

When I used to use stock ROM I was able to call a person either in contact or in log simply by swiping to right and create a text message by swiping to left.

I am right now using CM 10 based custom ROM, I realize I'm badly missing that feature :p is there any way that I can add swipe to call/sms feature on custom ROM or by installing update :confused:

KitKat has been confirmed for the Galaxy S3 as I had suspected. Use this to discuss Kitkat, and post any relevant information to the release.

Source :

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/0...-note-2-android-4-4-kitkat-updates-confirmed/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crazyemon3y:
Samsung has confirmed that the S3 will get kitkat. Now its just a matter of waiting for the update to be finished, sent to T-Mobile to be approved, and then pushed out.

So apparently I cant post links yet but if you go to the android and me website, they have an article with a link to the press statement made by Samsung.

Based on the devices on the list, we will probably have to wait a while, at least a month or two is my guess, just considering how new each device is.

Sidenote: if you have a Nexus 5, why do you care about the S3???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Not a rumor, its been confirmed that all U.S S3 variants will be 4.4.2 It makes a lot of sense for samsung to still update firmware on the still pretty popular and 2 year old device like ours. The only thing that could knock my S3 off its pedestal could be the S5, so I'm waiting for Feb 24th to come and see if it seduces me enough to jump on it :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] omaral:
They started rolling out kit kat yssterday. I dontvknow how long for the s3 to get it. But its about time we get it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Updated to reflect the current release information!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bass_Man25:
What's the over/under on the likelihood that Knox has undergone a major revamp to try and make it harder to crack in the next release?

I really like my SGS3, but after all of the crap Samsung has pulled against the modding community, I think this will be my last Samsung device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] omaral:
I appreciate that show of support against samsung. I approve of this message.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
I'm just curious why anybody cares about touch wiz kitkat? I've used a few different kitkat roms now including cm11 and they all work pretty well. A few have some quirks but overall they've been easily reliable enough to use everyday. Other than wifi calling what else do you like about TW versus anything else?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bass_Man25:
I agree with your sentiment. WIFI calling is the only reason I use TW and now, with multiboot, I can have a TW ROM as a secondary ROM and run CM11/AOKP KK as my daily driver.

I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who prefer TW to AOSP - different strokes for different folks. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twrex82:
I've never really liked TW but I'm curious to see how they integrate TW S voice with kit kat Google now.

Sent from my Liquid t999l
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Its not that TW is bad by all means...rather its KNOX and the excessive bloat it comes with. There are much worse things than Touchwiz trust me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
Since I posted my other response I've ended up going back to TW 4.3. I didn't know this until I tried it but aosp doesn't have tv out like TW does, at least not using the hd I cable I already have. I miss some of the aosp features but I really don't notice any difference between kitkat and jellybean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
kitkat is officially rolling out for the S4. So its the Note 3 and S4 already with updates. Could the S3 be next or would they go for the Note 2 first and leave us last? :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] markdapimp:
Note 2 first than S3

Samsung always updates its Note lineup before the Galaxy lineup
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] omaral:
But when will kitkat finally be available for the s3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
I would say a couple months the most
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Now is when the s4 is getting kit Kat wow. It's all about market strategy. We probably will get it at the earliest by June. Samsung probably doesn't want a 2 year old device running the same thing too close to when the s5 releases.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradley129:
Shouldn't be to long considering sprint already released 3 build versions on there device manifest. The sprint galaxy s3 kitkat build is now at NC4 which means it should release this month or the next and t mobile shouldn't be far behind.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] someonenewhere:
Our device is not a main priority, they want us to jump on an LTE device..

[MENTION=222916]doc[/MENTION] I think Wi-Fi calling is giving them hell.. I been using CM11 myself.. I love KK, runs really smooth..

But we need Wi-Fi calling, it's a feature may of us use in places where service is really ****ty..

I say T-Mobile should release it and let one of our devs fix it.. [emoji12]
