[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master4953:
so i corrupted the efs on my SM-N900W8 note 3 but i used a method flashing a efs script reset and the phone booted up perfectly. But for some reason no matter how much i factory reset or flash stock roms i cannot get the phone to go back to offical status.

Please help thanks alot guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Why do you need it to go back to official status may I ask? Do you need to send it back for repair?

As far as I know if you either root, flash custom recovery or kernel it will always stay at custom. In my case, the only time it goes back to official is when I use odin to flash back the rogers stock rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master4953:
I have a buyer who doesn't mind the Knox trip but would like to have it set to official please help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I suggest you download your provider's official firmware then flash through odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master4953:
Well I bought it from Rogers( which I regret) but it is now on the wind network so which one should I flash ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
It's originally Rogers so I suggest you use Rogers. Unfortunately you will have to download it from sammobile ( unless you can find an alternative ) since the link I use isn't working anymore. Download the MJ4 since it's the latest one from them.

edit: found a live link here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master4953:
I hope this works cause I have been flashing wind stock roms all day
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
It will work. The reason you're getting custom despite flashing stock rom from wind is because the phone is originally rogers and if anything other than that is flashed, it will show as custom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master4953:
okay but i used to flash wind stock roms all the time and never had this issue but any hoo im downloading the firmware now i will flash it and i will definitely get back to you thank for your help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cass1977:
Hi guys

I purchased what I thought was an honest rk3188 the other day. It shows up calling itself a 'Flytouch 10' (Dont they use Allwinner chips?), nothing like the spec advertised, etc. To cut a long story short, I kicked off, got my money back and kept the tab. (So a Free 10.1" rk3188) :)

At first, I thought this was the evil 'T' chip version :( BUT, the more I dig through it im not so sure. The build.prop has been modded to call its self a 'Flytouch 10', however, ive also found references to 'T7013N' (looks like a tv card) and 'm8pro' (pipo). Its running Android 4.2.2 with no errors.

It uses the following hardware :

rk616 chip

Q1001_V1_1101 mainboard

skhynix RAM chip

AXP 202 (Powerchip???)

Im pretty sure it has the wrong firmware on it as it takes 2min30 to bootup but gets an Antutu score of 18k. Performance is sluggish at times but also very quick at times. Ive had the back off it and looked at the chips and the photo of the board is attached (NO branding on the CPU though :( ).

If anyone can help me identify this device or point me in the right direction of if it is a 3188 or a 3188T it would be an awesome help.

Ok was just curious if im updating from 4.3 to 4.4 and have phone s-off'd and rooted do i need to return to stock to take the update?! Will root and s-off survive the update?! thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Why would you take the OTA if you are s-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Menardo:
Can you not s-off after updating? I just bought the phone and coming from a Galaxy S4 im a little lost on HTC One... Or should i just flash the firmware from the bad boyz rom thread through twrp?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
You might be able to s-off with firewater...but taking the OTA you will not loose s-off. I would just flash the firmware and a sense 4.4.2 rom if you flash the Full firmware.

If you flash the modified firmware you can flash any rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Menardo:
Alright thanks a million... Just making sure if i flash the FULL firmware only 4.4.2 roms can be flashed?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
As far as I know only 4.4.2 sense roms can be flashed.

Others should work fine if the kernel was updated, as the 4.4.2 OTA came with a new kernel.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Menardo:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonytga:
I have an S2 on the orange network which I unlocked after getting root access through some threads on here. However the phone says null when calling up the IMEI number and cannot recognize a new sim or network.

Can it be saved or shall I just give up hope, trade it in and get a Moto G?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flasherruts:
If you are lucky enough , try finding the backup of your efs folder . If you do find it , you are saved . if not , hard luck . If you see the imei as " unknown " you must have screwed up while unlocking the device and blown up your imei . if you find the efs backup folder , all the best , it can be fixed , if not , experience official kitkat via moto g :grin: :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Many local mobile repair shops should be able to write the IMEI/EFS details back to the device for not much money (Around $40-$50 where I live; I have 3 repairers like this within a 15 minute drive).

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] OJoe64:
Hey Everyone, I have a burning question:

FYI: I have a rooted kindle fire HDX 7"

Can I use the HDXPosed Mod (in the android Development forums) on my Stock ROM? because Safestrap only lets me use 4GB, so I was basically just wondering if the HDXPosed Mod was for the STOCK Rom. Thanks in Advance
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Demonoid111:
Yes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
That's a misunderstanding.

While Safestrap does limit you to a 4GB partition, the way HDX counts storage is the data (books, music, video, pictures...) resides in a completely SEPARATE storage that's NOT a part of the 4GB limit.

So apps that count storage will show you that you have stuff way past 4GB.. and you do have stuff stored there.

So the 4GB limit doesn't actually mean very much to apps that are written properly.

Now to answer your question... Yes, you can use it on stock OR any ROM slot. I did.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] OJoe64:
Google Play?

So is there any way I can get Google Play working Now? ( On my Stock ROM)

This will get it working on my Stock ROM? I thought I couldn't Flash ZIPs to my Stock ROM?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] berndt_toast:
Yes, I used this to get it working on my stock ROM. While not recommended, it is possible to flash in SafeStrap to the stock ROM slot. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup first, in case things go wrong. And follow the instructions to a T, otherwise they will not work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] OJoe64:
Only Way?

This is the only way to get Google Play working on stock?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] berndt_toast:
As far as I know, yes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GSLEON3:
No. You can do it using SafeStrap in a rom slot. Or, you can just install the Xposed stuff & then use a utility like KindleFree to install the play store, or use adb & do it yourself by hand, or you can modify the partition table & utilize the secondary framework location (don't even think about this option)...

The bottom line however, SafeStrap DOES NOT limit device storage. It creates a loopback partition with a shared storage pool. The only thing that is limited is the rom slot /system, /data & /cache looped partitions. These are limited in the stock, 100% factory setup too, but the user storage space is SHARED. So, when you have a big app, like Asphalt, or Madded 25, the biggest thing is the obb files, which are stored in /sdcard/android/data & is a part of the shared storage. While the storage settings may say xxGb available, it does not correctly reflect how much storage you truly have. You can indeed access 100% of your 64Gb, or 32Gb, or whatever amount of storage your HDX came with. the only thing you lose storage-wise, is the 4Gb you use for the rom slot,

PEOPLE! You still have access to ALL of your user storage, i.e. /sdcard with SafeStrap.

Regarding storage

The issue I've run into regarding the 4gig partition is that if I download shows from Amazon Prime for offline viewing, it seems to go against my 4 gig. So right now I can really only download one or two shows onto my Kindle via Prime offline viewing. Anything I can do about this or am I missing something?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GSLEON3:
No, this is true. Because of Amazon DRM/DHCP protection. I have been working on something for this, but it's slow going due to other responsibilities.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
Yes you can, but if you f*** up, you don't have a backup, so it's MUCH SAFER to play with a ROM slot instead. Capisce?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
First of all I want to say thanks to all who contribute to this forum. I just bought my HDX 7" and within minutes I was able to get root access, Safestrap, and install the Google Play Store. No issues whatsoever, it all works great and the Kindle rocks! :good:

The only issue I have is with the quote above. I also see that everything eats up those 4GBs, not just Amazon Prime videos but also games, my own videos, Google Play apps, or anything else really. I only have about a GB left and that means I can't really do anything.

And no, that is not what's actually left. I rebooted with the stock ROM and it was showing 6GBs of free space.

Am I the only one having this problem? What I read about the Kindle installing apps on shared storage sounded great but it doesn't seem to apply to me at all.

My Firmware version is 13.3.1.0.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
Really? Go into settings / storage and look again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
yep. And it's not just wrongly displayed as I read in other threads - whatever I try to download of a certain size, it just fails because I don't have enough storage. I'm confused

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
How much stuff have you tried to install and how much was already on there?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
Not much was there. I'd say less than 1GB, just some basic apps.

Then I tried to download an Amazon Prime video and it failed. I tried to download a Youtube video and still failed.

I tried to transfer a movie from my Mac and failed. It would just say that there wasn't enough storage available.

For now I have restored to default because it was unusable with only 1GB of space left. I'm pretty sure I still have root access but all the Google Play stuff along with Safestrap is gone, and I have 12GBs left (out of 16).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
Let me also ask: how do I make sure all my mods are gone, including root access?

Of course I looked in this forum but I couldn't find a comprehensive guide.

I want to return my 16GB and get a 32GB at least, maybe 64.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
If you flash the stock image into the primary slot, then delete / uninstall Hashcode's Safestrap, then it should undo everything.

I think you can also do the "hold power button for 50 seconds" (or was it 20?) to do a reset.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cf9182:
I installed safestrap and immediately took a backup of the stock rom. I moved that backup folder to my PC.

If something crazy happens and I no longer have a bootable OS on any partition (but I can still get to safestrap recovery), can I restore that backup saved on my PC?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
Thanks man I'll try the hard reset. I did do the first part but I still had root access afterwards (I could access root in ES File Explorer).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
Unfortunately this didn't do anything other than rebooting.

I'm a bit stuck. I don't see Safestrap among my Apps installed, but it's there. Every time I reboot it takes me to the Safestrap screen where I can access recovery mode.

If Amazon sees that screen they'll never take it back. How do I actually get rid of it?

I only have the stock rom now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ptrsnshane:
Go into settings/applications/manage applications scroll down to safestrap and uninstall. I believe if you have su there is an unroot option within it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cnims:
Reinstall Safestrap then open it and click on Uninstall Recovery within the app. Reboot to make sure the Safestrap screen is gone, then you can uninstall the app.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] giodibe:
Makes perfect sense, but unfortunately Safestrap wasn't in the Manage Applications list.

Yes, this did it! I still had root access so I reinstalled SuperSu and did an "Unroot". Now root access is gone. I think I can just restore to default and I'm ready to return it. Thanks everyone!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
My experience was pretty good but I didn't have a screen issue if that matters. I blew the speakers of my first gen N7 32GB. I was watching a video with a VLC nightly and when I changed from portrait to landscape it froze up, buttons became unresponsive and a high pitched squeal started up, had to long press the power button and make it reboot. After that anything louder than 35-40% volume would start to sound like crap! I have a real nice set of earbuds that I use most of the time anyway so I let it go for 2-3 months. When I contacted ASUS the tablet was probably around 6 months old. Told them what happened without mentioning what app I was using and they didn't ask, not that I think it matters. Original contact was an online chat and the guy tried very hard to be helpful and was extremely apologetic for my experience. I'm thinking from the time I shipped it out to when I got it back was 4-5 weeks. I did get the original device back and it was working perfectly! Before sending it back I did wipe the device, flash the factory image and lock the bootloader.

Have used VLC for years. Nightlies were hit or miss for me but I've never had a problem with a beta, the current version (v0.1.4) works great!
