I wanted to update to 4.3, OTA with my T999L. I followed the xda-developers thread on how to use Odin to flash my stock system, recovery, and tried using Triangle Away. Originally my count was 2,System: Custom, Binary: Custom; TA made the count 1 and System: Official, but the Binary still shows Modified, and it is not allowing me to update still. Any ideas on some things to try? According to my "About Device" screenshot doesn't it show as completely stock?:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Do a factory reset.. I suggest you don't do the ota though.. Instead flash a custom recovery and flash a 4.3 ROM to avoid getting Knox and a warranty counter
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eesco719:
Thank you for your reply. Do you have any specific threads that might help me with that? I'm a bit afraid as I permabricked my first T999L by trying to flash a I9300 rom like a dumb newb :crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Well just do what you did with your first t999l, except for trying to flash ROMs from other devices.. So flash a custom recovery, and then look for 4.3 ROMs in the android development section for the T-Mobile s3, and flash away :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eesco719:
Big thanks to you serio. I did what you said, flashed CWM and I've got it up and running on a nice custom 4.3 ROM (I chose Anthem, AOKP/IOKP/IOAP) nice and smooth, no problems. You rock man ! :highfive: :good:

I have had some trouble with my phone since dropping it.

Now sometimes it does not turn on and it took me an hour or so trying to turn it on, (it made the vibrate sound but nothing on screen at all).

And my pc/laptop does not recognize the phone when i plug it via USB although the charge icon changes :S

the last backup i made was many months ago with pc companion.

Is there a way i can make a backup of all messages/numbers ect..

I am planning on getting the exact same phone tomorrow so would like to just swap it all over.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Krauser Kahn:
Have you installed Clockwork Mod and can access to it? It has a backup option.

By the way, if you can't use USB how do you plan to move the backup from the phone to the PC in order to move it to the new phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] duke_dreadmoore:
If you just want to backup contacts, messages, call log, calendar. You can use "Super Backup" from play store. No root needed.

To backup apps, you can use "AppMonster".
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
Stock Backup and Restore app does the job, just remember to choose the SD card as the backup storage. You can choose what to backup, including third-party apps and their settings.

The phone is all stock

Usb is not detected by my pc :(

Managed to backup using an app, gave me 3 files in .xml format ??? and my contact list

The SD card is not recognized at all neither (sd card still works fine, its just detected by my phone)

The phone is currently on, but if it's turned off it will not start again for hours, takes ages trying to get it to turn on.

Update on this:

Managed to transfer ALL my pics and vids (contacts.sms and convos) via a file manager over wireless (took hours lol)

What do you guys suggest i now do with this phone? what would need replacing? or be causing the SD card and usb not to work? (it charges via USB, but i have to plug in and unplug a few times)

Ok so lately I have noticed that my Phone is taking way to long to boot. When a normal l7 would normal boot the phone, it should got the the LG logo for about 10 sec and then after that it should go to(in this case the Carbon fiber boot animation) for about 30 sec +

But the problem is with my phone the LG logo takes 2min + till it moves to the Carbon fiber boot animation then about 1 min for the boot of the carbon OS (P.S just a side note, it did it with slim bean and CM and still no luck)

I have also used CWM to clear/F reset everything, but it has not made a difference.

Could anyone help me out here?

Is there a bootloader or kernel i need to flash to fix this? or is it because my CWM may be outdated(Shouldent matter) and again I may of missed somthing in CWM so still point out the basics <--These are just ideas

On another side note the phone is a

[Android General] supak111:
Hey I have a rooted s3 and I can not get any root manager app to: edit, delete nor rename any files, not even stuff in the downloads folder.

I also noticed that my dropbox can't install anything either, just says "storage full or unavailable" but my storage is fine, i have over 9gb of internal storage left.

I patched titanium backup with lucky patcher and I know once I had a message about not having enough storage but got it fix by deleting some file in /sys/app folder i think could this have anything to do with it?

P.S. I've tried fixing permissions in TWRP and it didn't help

P.S. I actually don't think any of my apps have permissions to access the internal memory. I just tired using viber and the app can't even look for a picture from my gallery to sent...

What could be causing this guys?? Could it be a bad root? What should I do, I don't really wanna reinstall my rom and then reroot, its too much work.

I am looking for a credit card size battery pack that I can put inside my wallet. There was one called the Jumper Card from Indiegogo (Linky). Unfortunately, the project was cancelled and no longer available.

Any other recommendation?

I don't want a large battery pack since it's too big to put in pocket, not to mention too heavy. I just need a small charger that can provide emergency top-up for 10-20% of the battery life.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernd13:
Hello and Sorry for my bad english.

To enable multi-user at the tab 3 10.1, first you musst root your stock rom.

Then instal BusyBox from the playstore open it and instal.

Now you take a build.prop editor (maybe from playstore) and open, now add a new property.

Name it: fw.max_users

At the key you fill how many users you want (2 at my tab)

Save and Reboot!

Now in the options, you shold can add new users.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praetoriani:
Did you try this?

I had to modify my framework-res.apk to enable MultiUser.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernd13:

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praetoriani:
I tried it today, but it didn't work for me. I ended up in a bootloop. Had to copy back the original build.prop to boot my Tab3 again.

Think the solution with build.prop doesn't work on all devices. I'm using a Galaxy Tab3 10.1 (GT-P5200) / P5200XXUAMK7 [4.2.2].

What is your device/firmware?

It's a bit confusing why some have to edit the build.prop and others have to modify framework-res.apk.

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tquarter:
Does this really work? Just wondering, because I thought we had to use the xposed framework hack. Man it would be great if it's just a build.prop addition. You may want to tell the dev's of the pimpdroid, and grievous roms if this is all it takes to get multi user on 5210.

There are three ways you can do this:

1. Download and run link2sd- you should be able to download games straight to external memory.

2. Throught apps in settings- go to your apps, click on the app you want to send, and click move to SD card.

3. Through settings- you can go to the settings (Idk what section it is under) and change the installation place from internal memory to external memory.

Good luck and I hope this helps!:D

[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
Does it present any security issues to unlock a bootloader without rooting? I don't mean if you lose your phone, I mean is there a security issue with any apps you install?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
That's always a risk. Read playstore comments before installing anything.

Has nothing to do with being rooted or not...or boot loader state.

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
You could have asked at AC and I would answer it over there.

Unlocking bootloader and/or running custom recovery is a big risk. When you unlocked bootloader, all the partitions in your phone can be accessed and modified. I can flash custom recovery to your phone. Custom recovery give full root access to the phone. It is then easily possible to copy all your data from the phone and also disable the lock for your phone. Although if you encrypt your phone, then custom recovery will require the password to give access to the /data partition, which is where all the user datas are. I guess if someone is determine enough, then they can make an image copy of your phone and try to decrypt it.

If you want to keep your data safe, disable USB Debugging (because exploits can be used with ADB to gain access to the phone), use stock recovery and lock bootloader. However, if the phone brick then you can't get back your data in the phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
but can an app do this? And if so, what permissions would the app need to do this. Also, I am not talking about flashing a custom recovery; just an unlocked bootloader.

but can an app do harm to your phone if you have USB debugging enabled? I know a person who finds your phone can. I am asking about apps.
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
If the phone isn't root, then probably not, unless there is some security holes it can exploit. With root it is possible to modify the whole system. Motorola and HTC have an extra layer to prevent simple root to modify the system partition, but as you can see, just visit dev section if you want to remove it.

It is possible for apps to get access to sensitive data and change system settings with USB Debugging enabled. Helium required it turned on to make backup of your contacts, sms and apps data for example.

If you have an older Android phone, you don't need to do anything except to enable USB Debugging and run a program to install root. But we're trusting apps like SuperUser and SuperSU to control apps access to root, so that's a layer of protection. But KitKat is much safer now.

You don't need root to install malware and virus to your phone. Just download an infected app or use unreliable app stores like Aptoide. Also if you have the option "Unknown sources" enabled, which almost all of us do, the app can utilize it to automatically install other apps in the background.

Point I'm trying to make is, if the phone have unlocked bootloader, or even locked bootloader with custom recovery, and someone else have a hold of it, then all bets are off.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
great, that is what I want to know. I knew a human being in possession of your phone could do more damage if it were unlocked, which is why I got rid of the bootloader unlocked warning message.

BTW - do you know if flashing the original kit kat boot logo to replace the bootloader warning message presents a problem for accepting the OTA update to 4.4.2?

Ok so then on my Moto X, since flashing a new logo doesn't even require root, it shouldn't have affected any system files and then it would be safe to take the OTA after removing the bootloader unlocked warning?

good to know!

ok, that is how I understand it. Unless I give the app access to root through SuperSU, it can't.

why is this?

thanks, Amazon app store required that to be enabled to load apps from their app store.
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
That depend on the checking that the dev put in the OTA package. On the Nexus device, if you are missing any original system APK, modify the radio partition, modify GPS setting file, or modify the build.prop, etc, the OTA will fail. So I assume the same with Moto X OTA. The safest bet is to make sure all the partition are original first (except the /data partition where your data resides) before receiving an OTA.

Yes. The actual component of root isn't the SuperSU app, but a 'su' binary. Without the SuperSU app, anything can have full fledged root access. You need SuperSU to control that access.

For many reason, I'm not a developer so I can only talk about what I know and seen from a user perspective. It used to be that you can flash an exploited update.zip to modify the stock recovery of Android, in order to make it ignore the package signatures, so the recovery could flash any package without the correct signature. Now there are no such exploits for latest stock recovery. With USB Debugging enabled in Android 4.3 or newer, it would not even allow access when connected to a PC unless you accept to trust that PC in a pop up dialog in the phone, I'm not sure if it's mean the phone is totally invulnerable to exploits (like memory overflow), you'll have to ask someone smarter. Also apps like Framaroot that I just linked won't work anymore.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
OK, I think I am going to unroot and flash back to stock just to be sure.

Thanks again! I would hit the thanks button but I used up all my thanks today and it won't let me.

[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Why so paranoid? Have you read any posts on xda of such things....I haven't.

If you are sideloading apps the risk increases for sure. But apps on the play store would have tonnes of comments about it if the app was screwing up the system.

[Moto X Q&A] pball52998:
Okay one thing why are you trying to unlock the bootloader without rooting?? Or did I read everything wrong? And yes unlocking the bootloader allows you to write to every partition of the phone. Except when HTC and you're s-on you have to manually flash the boot.img via fastboot. But with moto. There is no point in unlocking the bootloader if you're not doing anything. Two it voids your warranty. Three it can disable functions on your phone like features, camera options I think and yeah etc. But if you follow instructions you won't have any problems ever rooting or shouldn't if you semi have a brain and know how to follow instructions if not well you can somewhat brick :$ I don't mess with moto much but I have. Sorry this thread was in my latest and scrolling through xda. Lol. You can unlock you're phone straight from the moto website. But if you're not rooting. Eh no point.
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
I just read this thread, particularly page 2 why we can't relock the Motorola bootloader (yet it seems), unlike Nexus devices, I think it's really bad for security.

[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
I rooted but a friend of mine is unlocked but not rooted. She wanted to be unlocked because it wipes your device so wanted to do it before she got the phone all set up. She is afraid of rooting. Anyhow, maybe she shouldn't have unlocked but she did.

She has the dev ed so it doesn't void her warranty. And she may want to Wifi tether in the future so I told her she needs to unlock and root for that so get the dev ed. She did and unlocked but is afraid to go any further.

It increases the phone's resale value to unlock it.
