[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Well that's good that's something I didn't know because I'm used to Apple devices and I remember that first happening to me about 5 years ago I installed an app I wanted to use and it suddenly told me I couldn't use it! This pissed me off very much, thank you.

Actually most of the apps that do that are for cable company content players. Cox cable apps do it, but what is odd is that some of the other cable channels like ePix and Turner Classic Movies, they don't care they don't put any jailbreak detection.

The thing that is pissing me off here now though is the advertisements I'll download an app and it looks good and it looks like it will do what I want, then suddenly full page ads pop up. I despise this, I immediately delete any app that does that and he will put a nasty single star review on the app.

I just discovered that this thing actually has an infrared remote on the side, and I have been fooling around with configuring remotes for my other hardware. That's pretty nifty I am very pleased with this. My only real complaint with the device is that the camera does not take very good pictures at all, & I have seen other galaxies, phones possibly take excellent pictures. That is something that this tablet has in common with the dopo 7 inch tablet I used to have, they both have very poor cameras. But other than that I am pretty pleased.

Root question

Is the roogoing process pretty much universal, like the kingo root sais almost any android device, i. Also want my lg phone, because its also running kitkat with sd restrictions, so would it be safe try to root it with the kingo root?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Well, what are the tools? You need 1) Odin and 2) TWRP, right? And then the su kit, i dont see why you cant do your LG.

When I got this one, I inherited a whole bunch o tools, I'm not quite sure what they are. Let me see if I can post a screenshot.

Ok, done... Would any of that stuff help? Because I'm pretty sure I can upload any of what's needed to Dropbox. Actually I'm just curious I noticed there was a newer version of the SU kit that I used, could I re root this device and then apply that particular kit? Because I think I see in the SU app there was a little function that de roots your phone or device.

Haha! I always use android themes on my Apple devices...

And i didnt even have to install Winterboard or Anemone. I didnt realize just how many droid apks I had hoarded over the years..

I love this thing!

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Does anybody know what it involves to create themes? Ah, never mind that... I found where I need to go to find out. I'm restoring again, I had heard of another recovery rom called "crm" or something, that is better for some of the mods I want to try, especially the four-floating-windows one. I'm restoring my firmware again, I suppose I don't have to use the recovery that Samsung wants me to?

I don't know if I'm doing it right. haha, used download mode and loaded the recovery PDA. Looks the same as it did when I first did it... blue bar is going across the screen. Hm, uses NAND interesting.

Damn! Now it won't root again... Finnicky! Clarification: The SuperSU zip won't read, zip file becomes corrupted when I try to flash it.

Sent from my SM-T217S
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Ha! I got it rooted again... all i did was download the latest versions of team win and supersu, flashed it, then it prompted me to root.

For some reason the superuser apk wouldn't download from Google Play. Kept on crashing Google Play, fortunately I had it saved.

How very odd. The idea was as I wanted to delete everything I already had on the tablet, but for some reason all the apps I had stayed installed. Guess I'll have to do that through the setup.

Ghod I just live this thing! Discovered Xposed and Wanam. Excellent!

SD Card

Do I need an SD card to officially root this? I was able to run the first few steps fine, Odin says it passed however when I try and install the SU, I don't have an SD card and just putting it on the root of the tablet does me no good.

A little help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] bob23bk:
[MENTION=5429751]sparker781[/MENTION] you can do it- with the file on internal storage, boot into recovery and there is an option to install from zip ;)

Odin troubles

i have been having troubles with odin now, it cant find my device. i checked my computer and it can find the tablet
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] bob23bk:
Odin can only detect your tablet if it is in download mode. If it cannot detect it even in download mode, try different USB ports- particularly try a port on the back of the computer. If this doesn't help, try a different cable. Good luck :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] jlong006:
So before I go through and do this, is anyone running a pure asop rom. I have heard we can install a pure rom. I know that will remove all sprint stuff and I am perfectly fine with that. I just want to use it as a wifi tablet.

You can activate it to Ringplus to get over 1gb data monthly for free.

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
You mean it will activate the Cell? Every time I boot, it wants to activate through Hands Free Activation.

If using a pure rom would get rid of that, I'd like to know more.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] oakrdrs187:
Is there a difference between ADB sideload of the SuperSU and just installing in TWRP by locating the file? I don't have an SD card at the moment.

The Super SU fails to disable KNOX, this after installing/flashing through TWRP by locating the file saved in the downloads folder.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Actually, the last time I flashed my Gtab3, I opted to wipe it as well. After I did that, an OTA update appeared as available, so I nabbed it. It went in, no trouble. That was "on the go"? Yah, I used to have a DoPo 7" Tablet, I gave to my friend, I bought her a nice case that had a capacitive touch USB keyboard in it, which made it very easy to type, she used a Realty app given to her by her employer, the keyboard made using that easy. If that crummy RockChip tablet could use the KB, I think the Samsung can too, it just plugs right into the USB port.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I've been using Kingo/Kingroot on two of my i6S+ Goophone clones, MK6582's, I had a Sophone original i6+ Clone, Framaroot 1.9.1 worked with "barahir". After I flashed my Gtab3, I was offered an OTA update, after that, I installed TWRP, and I used that to install SuperSU by flashing during Recovery, it was an easy root. Kingroot is very easy too, if your device can get past 30%, it's almost a guaranteed root. I tried iRoot, that almost rooted my latest I^S+ clone. It was close, but I did not like that the PC version sends junk apps into your device. There are a few apps, usually by Cheetah Mobile, that push irritating full-screen ads. I loathe and despise those!

first download Super.zip

I downloaded the Superuser.zip file after using Odin to install TWRP AND EVERYTHING WORKED!

I did not see that in the directions given here, he said to use adb but I did not have to!!

once I rebooted from TWRP , I connected my phone back to the computer and copied the SU.zip file to my phone and then rebooted into TWRP and hit the install button and cliked on the SU.Zip file and then rebooted!

then root checker verified I had successfully rooted my tab 3 from Sprint running kitkat.

Maybe I did something wrong but this is the way I obtained root?

;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Actually all you really need to do is install TWRP and then boot into recovery, when you exit recovery it will prompt you to root your device because Super SU is built in. You don't really have to do it manually but I have heard that it's better to do it manually by adding the zip than letting TWRP do it itself. Either way, I found it relatively easy to root my Galaxy Tab 3 it's one of the easiest devices I've ever worked on.

[Xperia Z1 General] buda1331:
Hi there, 2 weeks ago I bought a Xperia z1, and it was already with android 4.3 ver:14.2.A.0.290 and I can't ROOT it, I don't want to unlock the bootloader (not yet). And I wonder if there's a way to root it, like previous versions of android, using any app or something, because I have tried some pages where you install CMW but it must be with unlocked bootloader...

now my question is... do you think that there will be a way to root the phone without unlocking bootloader?

thanks and regards from Chile.
[Xperia Z1 General] jacker60:
Not for the moment, you need to downgrade the firmware if you want to root your Z1

Enviado desde mi C6906 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
You don't search very well. There is no direct root like Vroot or something like that at the moment and probably never will be. You can root your phone with locked bootloader with this method only, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572988, watch the video, it will help you to understand.
[Xperia Z1 General] buda1331:
well, I have watched the video, and I think I'm screwed, because of this:

- I must unlock my bootloader and I will lose the DRM keys.

- if I want to backup my TA partition I need to ROOT my phone (but I can't)

so I'm serioulsly thinking about unlocking my bootloader. (I've already the latest version so it is supposed not to brick the camera)

and about the link that [MENTION=1030880]eclyptos[/MENTION] left... it says:

Requirements:

Flashtool 0.9.13 by [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION]

XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 BETA or newer.

Current rooted FW version: 14.1.G.1.534 and 14.1.G.2.257 .

but my phone came with the latest version. :crying:

so what do you think, do I unlock my bootloader anyways?
[Xperia Z1 General] f3nix82:
Hi,

Do not unlock it yet!

1. Downgrade to 14.1.G.1.534.

2. Root via Bin4ry v33.

3. Backup TA.

4. Go from there.

Cheers,

Mateusz
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Again, you don't read carefully! and on video nobody are saying to unlock bootloader so I don't understand which video did you saw.

You don't have to unlock your bootloader, the method is for Locked Bootloader, downgrade to .534 using Flashtool, Root with Bin4ry, then again with Flashtool update to .290, then to .136 from HERE, follow the instructions.
[Xperia Z1 General] buda1331:
Thanks man, I was on vacations and now I'm gonna do that. I've a question, can I update OTA after doing this? (walkman, album, etc)
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Yes.

BTW, you can skip the update to .290 and jump directly to update to .136 after root .534.
[Xperia Z1 General] buda1331:
Finally I did it!!! 4.3 rooted .136

now I am trying to find a way to make GAME CIH work :( hahaha

Hi,

Try to flash the zip in attachment (wipe Dalvik cache just in case) for Contacts.apk. If you have not a custom recovery extract the file, move it to /system/priv-app, set the correct permissions like the other system apps (rw-r--r--) and reboot.

I gues you are deodexed? Because here it's deodexed...

You still have ContactsProvider.apk or not? I put it in the zip file, delete it if you still have it in /system/priv-app.

Or if you have moved it in another locaton, keep it in the zip but delete it on your phone.

The next time don't forget to make a backup...

OK, I'm not a noob and yes I'm not an elite or dev either. I'm more or less of an advance users. I'm posting here to get a feel or see what kind of response I would get if I'm going to write a guide. Yes I know there there are plenty of guides already but the way I see it most of the guides fall into either too specific to a device or particular subject or more or less a dictionary/wiki style. I'm more interest of writing general concept of android, more like a pre-req for rooting to a newbie but not tie to any specific device. For example, it will include the concept of partition/recovery/boot loader and how they are related. Maybe I'll approach it as in comparison to how PC works.

Hi,

I just got my new black 32GB Nexus 5. Looks like I do not have all those defects every body talking about. But I seems to have one new that I couldn't find anywhere so far.

Some times my vibration haptic feedback stops working and then comes back. It can be on the 3 buttons in the bottom or while typing on the keyboard.

Anyone has it also. How do I fix that?

I'm on stock ROM, only rooted.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.sw:
Found this message when I was looking for the exact same problem.

This behaviour happens to me as well - haptic feedback stops working all of a sudden.

After messing around with it for a while, it looks like it's an issue with the contacts of the vibration motor that is glued to the back panel and the main body part.

If haptic feedback stops working, I tap gently on the back panel with my finger and vibration resumes.

It also happened to me that wireless charging stopped working after I dropped the phone. I had to open the back panel and gently pull the QI pins towards the back panel to restore contact.

Seems like the design and build quality of Nexus 5 back panel is below average.
