Trying to s-off my DNA on the latest OTA update. Running 4.2.2 on 3.06. Verified ADB drivers are installed as well HTC drivers. Debugging mode on etc

Keep getting error "looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!!"

What am i missing?
[HTC Droid DNA] skathe:
Figured out the problem, Universal Rumrunner does not work, must use DNA specific
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I was going to suggest fire water its super fast n easy
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
You didn't download the version specifically for the Droid DNA go download the correct version for our phone and it will work.
[HTC Droid DNA] skathe:
thanks for the input all good now with dna specific version, woulda helped to scroll all the way down on the downloads page! lol
[HTC Droid DNA] mobitote:
Firewater is the way to go now. I tried rummy but got no where. Firewater was a breeze. Just as simple set of commands and I was done in less than 5 min.
[HTC Droid DNA] Egrier:
I have to agree with mobitote. Very easy with firewater.
[HTC Droid DNA] Tiskra25:
If I use firewater will it erase everything on the phone like a factory reset?
[HTC Droid DNA] Egrier:
I just did mine a couple of days ago using Firewater. As far as I recall, it doesn't wipe anything. I would back your stuff up just in case though. But, I'm pretty sure it doesn't touch it.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Lol, I thought firewater was just a play on words for rumrunner and moonshine. After I saw so many responses about it, I Google it and low and behold there is firewater :p
[HTC Droid DNA] sulla65:
Firewater s-off worked perfectly on my stock 4.2.2 3.06 now s-off with unlocked bootloader. Then I flashed trwp recovery and SuperSu Now looking forward to flashing some roms. ::D

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungAdmire:
Hi. I recently got this issue two weeks ago. I bought this phone late December.

Basically, the earpiece sounds REALLY fuzzy and loud, but not in a good way. Even a $30 phones one sounds better. It isn't clear at all. It sounds very buzzy and noisy.

Heres what i tried:

-Reflashing back to stock. It was still the same.

-Removing and putting back the T-Mobile SIM card. Worked for a bit, then it went back to how it was before.

-Lower the in-call volume. I lowered all the way to the lowest i could go. It still sort of loud considering it was at the lowest volume. It was still buzzy and unclear.

I can't send it back to Motorola as i voided my warranty. It's a little annoying, but i want to fix it. What can i do? I've tried blowing into the earpiece to see if it gathered any dust or anything but it never works. What should i do?

I've been thinking of grabbing a hair drier just in case some water got in there to see if it helps. I doubt it will.

What do you guys say? What can i do?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] uchua:
So I've spent the past few months "tinkering" with my Galaxy S4. Unfortunately I have an MF3. Which means the phone is virtually worthless for any "tinkering" beyond the fairly simple process of rooting. Now explanation aside I have a question:

Is there any argument or means by which I could ***** out AT&T and get them to replace this pile with a one that doesn't have the bootloader locked? And, failing that, can you take one of the Google Play edition GS4's to AT&T being as they're not locked down like Alcatraz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xDark-Moonx:
if im not mistaken, you can root MF3 and install SafeStrap and there is a Google Edition rom that will function on it...apart from that, im not sure what else can be done as i have MK2 and have been using safestrap and BlackBox custom rom...

Cant you just insert an AT&T sim card into the google edition GS4 and it should get service..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cozmo1:
It depends on how honest you want to be. AT&T didn't make you buy the S4. If you're under the 30 day mark then you can return it for exchange. After that, asides from cheating them there's not much you can do.

Still with that being said, it's a rather good phone and you can still customize it a lot even with the bootloader being locked. Xposed Installer gives you a lot of customization options on stock or you can use safestrap if that's your thing. Don't forget that you have Odin files to restore your phone in case something messes up so the control is back in our hands for the most part. Regardless the phone is far from worthless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] uchua:
The main issue I have with it is all the AT&T and Samsung garbage eats up about 60% of the RAM, S Voice is an utterly worthless piece of software, and you shouldn't be kept from doing what you want with a piece of hardware you pay an immense amount of money for. I'll definitely be buying my phones directly from Google from now on but I'm still just really annoyed at the limitations AT&T has put on this phone. From what I can tell no other carrier has made it this much of a problem to stick a custom ROM on this phone.

I realize there's still some customization you can do with the phone but from what I can tell so far if you root the phone the update service no longer functions and on top of that there's still all the garbage lumped in to the stock ROM that it apparently needs to function without experiencing strange issues.

I'm gonna get some *hi* for saying, what I'm about to say........ However...... I had the same feelings. I have owned android phones since they where invented!!!

The past 3 months I've been using a phone called an ..........IPhone 5S!!!!!!! I must say, I've never been so comfortable owning a phone, I'm not checking it constantly worrying if I have battery drain issues, not worrying about custom kernels, not worrying about what color I should use for my battery indicator. Etc...etc.....etc...

I know it's apple. But. It is a really good solid device, everything works when it has to, the camera and sound quality is amazing. I've just felt at ease using it.

Don't get me wrong, I still use my nexus 7 allot at home, that's where I get my android fix.

But, a device I rely on for important calls, emails, and using facetime to see my children when I'm working away, for me I'm very happy.

I don't work for apple if that's what your thinking!! Also this is my personal opinion. Whether your interested or not.?

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi everyone.

There has been rumours of ART becoming Androids default runtime for some time now, possibly replacing Dalvik.

What are your thoughts on this? What would be the advantages and disadvantages? Do you think it will completely replace Dalvik or do you think that Dalvik will still be accessible through developer options?

Share your thoughts and opinions on this down below!
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
It's still in a developmental stage. It isn't ready for mainstream yet. There's already an ART / DALVIK thread, possibly two.

Here are the main arguments you will hear;

-ART has better battery

-ART runs better. (Smoother UI, etc.)

-ART isn't compatible with all apps. Some will not work with ART runtime.

-ART doesn't support Xposed Framework at all. Can only be run on Dalvik.

I think you will still be able to select runtimes UNLESS Google finishes it, completely replaces Dalvik with it and abandons the Dalvik source code completely like they did with Tablet UI in 4.4+

There you go.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I mean when and if ART goes mainstream. I've tried to search for threads and I always do before posting, and nothing came up except ART vs Dalvik threads, which is not what I'm trying to make this thread.

I've experienced bad battery life with ART, and I wanted to see if it was the same for other people too.

Also, it can be debated that ART runs smoother than Dalvik with optimizations. I wanted to get peoples opinions on which runs smoother, because of these optimizations.

Some people might run into different compatibility problems then others. For example, 20 out of 100 apps might not be compatible, and for another person only 2 apps might be affected by ART compatibility issues. This means some people will be better off with ART then others, and I wanted to hear the peoples experiences on that as well.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Any reason you posted this thread a second time...?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Oops, I apologise.

I was having server issues so I had to retry.

I was unaware that the first thread posted without problems.

Taking it down now.
[Nexus 5 General] crachel:
Isn't ART simply Google's attempt to get rid of Dalvik and avoid Oracle's lawyers? They've also been fairly explicit that ART is intended to replace Dalvik, going so far to state as much on their website. I really don't see what everybody's interest in this is. It's a nuts-and-bolts, behind the scenes change really that only matters to actual developers creating apps and should be all but unnoticeable to end users.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I didn't realise that they were actually gonna fully replace dalvik, I just thought they were rumours. Its all about performance difference as well as battery difference. Which one works better for their needs. These are just minor differences but for us geeks it counts. Also, without threads ect. It would be more difficult to for ART developers to find bugs. We are the BETA testers. All of these threads are like reviews of a product. And they can use these things we say to make their product better.
[Nexus 5 General] PJcastaldo:
LoL. I hope you don't really think you or any one else here is a beta tester of any kind. Lets be honest here.. they don't care what you or I think of the new runtime. It WILL happen and the ONLY reason its even accessible is for app developers to get their apps compatible ..

Honestly .. for now unless your an app dev. You should just leave it bee. Its unfinished for the end user..

and the differences vary so much from person to person as far as speed / battery life are concerned I lean more towards there really isn't one and differences you see good or bad are pure placebe..
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
I think it is reasonable to expect ART will replace Davlik in the next major Android release. The current version on KitKat is probably 5-6 months old. They have surely improved it internally since then. They wouldn't provide ART in the production version of Android if they didn't plan on replacing Davlik completely at some point.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
Why do people claim ART is unfinished?

If the app is incompatible then it's the app developers fault not a problem with ART!

Only a handful of apps didn't work with ART initially and that's not Google's fault considering the majority worked without a rewrite from the get go....

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Because ART literally isn't finished yet. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Runnung art now and no problem so far. I like it over dalvyk. Looking forward to it actually
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
If unfinished means rock solid, super stable, buttery smooth and incredibly fast, then sure....

I've been running ART since November 6th and would rather forget that Dalvik ever existed!

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Allwinda94:
I do not think that this thread is even relevant and supporting most of ppl here I would just say - it IS HIDDEN at developer options. That should explain most of things. Switching to release version of ART might also mean major bump in android API level for some developers since they start target ART, which might cause effect of dropping support of everything below 4.4. I will notice to you that vast majority of devices are still below this point, and usual target API is 8-13(i might not remember levels right but basically most of apps targeting android 2.7++ right now). Of course, Google preserves most of backward compatibility, but different VM still means different instruction sets optimized for certainly particular VM.
[Nexus 5 General] EnIXmA:
Art works really well for me both in terms of battery and performance... They should make it default with 4.5
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
This is what keeps me from trying it fulltime. The fear that its hidden in developers option. I just got this phone and would rather not deal with having to get it replaced because my phone happens to be the unlucky one that can't handle art and dies on me.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
Say what?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Allwinda94:
Again it is all based on your personal user experience. For me, sadly, about half of the apps failed to run on art. Another half may experience instabilities, for example quite popular game BananaKong was crashing every 2-4 banana runs. Most of modified apps doesn't seem to work with art also. Art will be fitly and nicely at 99% user experience forecasted by me around android 4.8-5+ This is not a poll. It is fact of overall instability, not particular cases.
[Nexus 5 General] CheesyNutz:
no not until its optimized
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
I remember when this phone first came out and reading people switching to art and either the phone bootlooped , soft bricked, or they had to fit it another way. I have nothing against it and its MY personal preference but I'd rather wait until Google gives the all clear.
[Nexus 5 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
I have yet to see a Rom crash because of ART, running it since Nov 6 as well on 3 diff. Roms

but just 1 of my apps got affected, hopefully that app had alternatives.

Loadding time of some apps can be measured with a timer and overall scrolling reacts faster on ART.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
What exactly needs to be optimised?

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

That may be part of Google's reason, but I suspect they wanted to slay the 'android lag' so prominent when running Dalvik. Per Android Police's excellent 3 part series on ART (from Part 1):

"ART, which stands for Android Runtime, handles app execution in a fundamentally different way from Dalvik. The current runtime relies on a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler to interpret bytecode, a generic version of the original application code. In a manner of speaking, apps are only partially compiled by developers, then the resulting code must go through an interpreter on a user's device each and every time it is run. The process involves a lot of overhead and isn't particularly efficient, but the mechanism makes it easy for apps to run on a variety of hardware and architectures. ART is set to change this process by pre-compiling that bytecode into machine language when apps are first installed, turning them into truly native apps. This process is called Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation. By removing the need to spin up a new virtual machine or run interpreted code, startup times can be cut down immensely and ongoing execution will become faster, as well."

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-in-secret-for-over-2-years-debuts-in-kitkat/

This is a significant advance for Android, to handle even more demanding applications in the future...Dalvik's demise has been written on the wall for a while now. I expect ART to creep out of hidden mode in 2014.
[Nexus 5 General] nein7three:
I use Xposed and never noticed a problem running ART. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
[Nexus 5 General] frozenhotchocolate:
I got this phone the week it came out and have ran art without issue since then. When kit kat first dropped I was running art on my gnex with minimal problems mostly due to the alpha Kit kat builds available at the time. To me art is smoother. If you are currently on dalvic, press the recent button. Seems fast enough right. Now switch to art and try it (put you're phone in freezer to hurry it up and avoid thermal throttle when phone is back on). Transitioning between programs with art is faster. That makes a difference to me. If it didn't I would own an iPhone. Xposed is cool and all but most mods can be found in custom ROMs.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
If you have Xposed enabled, you can't switch to ART. I mean you can press it, but you're going to reboot back to Dalvik. Check if you don't believe me. You cannot run Xposed while on ART.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Lol xposed disables art on reboot. You've been running dalvik this entire time. Xposed will not let you run art for safety reasons, No matter how many times you set and reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] Ubichinon:
ART is technically better and will replace dalvik as soon as the devs jump in the boat. The only downside to it is it that requires more space for every app, since all apps are decompiled on the storage and not decompiled on opening (as in dalvik).
[Nexus 5 General] :
Strong point... They are probably like most companies and don't care... But we are the ones that report bugs and give our feedback on it, and if more people point out bugs, the easier the developers job will be!

Also, its there, and of you want to try it out, go for it. You might see better battery life and performance so its worth a try switching to it.
[Nexus 5 General] :
This is very true!
