Hey guys.

Quick one, is the XSA rom you can get from samobile the stock Samsung rom? As in not telstra or Optus? Like you would get if you bought unbranded from a Samsung store?

Thanks guys. Only reason I ask is that I'm trying to figure out if my Optus firmware is crappy, I'd guess it is but just need to see before I can't take it back.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Search all the different AU(?) Firmwares and see, its possible XSA is the unbranded one - although saying that, I think sammobile says if its unbranded.

So I shouldn't have any trouble with that yeah?

It's the same build number as I have now so that should flash fine, without triggering Knox?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambetts:
Thanks again guys. Might do that in the next day and see if it's this crappy rom.

Help me understand this note 3 Knox business. So, I've had nexuses and other Samsung's and I've never had the thing where I couldn't use a previous version of Android if I updated.

So is it just the bootloader we're talking about? If I updated to 4.4.2, I couldn't use anything older than that? Even just the rom?

So how would I even get a 4.4.2 rom if say the roms didn't include the bootloader? And if I did get a bootloader, is the right one? Haha.

Sorry to ask so much, just things seem different with this particular phone and the current versions of Android.

Maybe it's just the bootloader and you can't go and use an older version of Android if that's been flashed.

Couldn't you flash a stock 4.3 official rom if you wanted to go back?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you flash a stock KK rom it updates the bootloader. If you get the broken up KK polish rom and don't update the bootloader then KK doesn't load.

Once you update to the latest KK bootloader you CAN'T go back to JB... You will trip Knox warranty void if you try...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambetts:
Argh I see.

So basically it's the bootloader. But if you root, flash custom recovery and or rom, that's going to trip knox anyway isn't it? So if you did use a earlier version of Android, you still can, it will just trip knox?

Tripping knox doesn't make your phone unusable does it? I'm sure there will be some sort of triangle away or similar that will get rid of it. What if you flash a clean bootloader? Would that clear knox? I wonder where the knox counter info is stored and if it's accessible...

Geez, making myself sound like a noob here haha. I swear I'm an experienced flasher haha.

Just making sure I understand this before I do anything. Seems a little different than normal. Everyone should understand this stuff before they do anything. Haha.

Thanks again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magromark:
Hi there,

I had and O2 UK HTC One.

I unlocked my HTC One and rooted it to use TWRP.

Lately I was propmted to Update through an OTA to get KitKat but I couldn't automatically update due to TWRP.

I flashed my mobile using a stock ROM and now am running;

Android 4.4

HTC Sense 5.5

Software number 4.06.1540.2

As soon as I flashed this rom I checked for updates and I was prompted to update to the below version,

Software number 4.06.1540.3

Where can I find this OTA to flash it on my HTC?

Is there an easier way to keep up to date with these OTA through TWRP?

Thank you

Mark
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You must use stock recovery to flash ota, not twrp. When you are prompted for an ota update, just flash your stock recovery over twrp, go back in your phone, download and apply the ota. Then flash twrp after the update and re-root.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Btw you only had to flash your stock o2 recovery to install the ota, flashing another stock rom wasn't necessary. At least you made a good choice going dev edition.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cheeky_Fink:
I've spent a while looking, and so far I haven't found anything definitive about this. I just snagged a 64 gig AT&T One from Swappa, should be receiving it Monday. My question is this: Are the AT&T and the T-Mobile versions' hardware identical or not? Some people say yes, some say no, the missing AWS band means they're different. If they are identical, can I convert to T-Mobile, via CID and RUU or whatever? And would that give me the AWS band? Oh, and I plan on using CM11 as my daily driver ROM, so could I maybe just flash the Tmo One version CM11 without dealing with CID and RUUs, and still get the same result? If none of that is feasible, is there ANY way at all to get the AWS band on an AT&T One?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M7mdali:
Hey,

I'm very new to rooting flashing and all of this but I learn fast.

Originally came here because I was disappointed with my S3 and how it is working so I googled, knew a thing or two about rooting, rooted almost a week ago then a day after I was flashing my very first rom.

My first rom was S4 revolution v12 I liked it but after a while - not very long while - I have experienced lagging and dull responding just like what I had with my stock rom.

Then I said so what I'll flash another and another. Again, googled best rom and knew that there is no such a thing but my eyes captured Cyanogenmod and I said ok I'll give it a try and I did.

Now I'm running cm11 M3 and the device is speedy, no lagging what so ever, actually experinced multi tasking for my first time - multi tasking with stock rom is a lie - and finally I felt like hey that is what I actually wanted.

Had to do some changes to be honest - not to the rom don't get me wrong I'm not that smart - but I had that android keyboard with the number row I love it. Hated that google launcher and its ugly icons so now I'm using KK launcher and few other things and that's it.

Now to my question. In this little short adventure of mine I have experienced two diffrent roms well, three actually counting the stock rom and the stock rom was awful, S4 revolution v12 was quite good but not that speedy and cm11 that pushed my S3 to its limits. My question is - in terms of speed, performance and no lagging - what was holding the device back and what made it as fast as it now with cm11?

I mean is it the rom itself, maybe the kernel if I even understand the term well, the samsung heavy Touchwiz or maybe the samsung apps? I need to understand because it'll help me choose between roms and kernels and really have what I want.

P.S English in not my native language so if you'll correct me be nice :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msri3here:
Since the time Samsung Galaxy series phone were launched, over the years, this has been a problem with Samsung stock ROMs.

The device would be fast without lags for some period of time and then it starts lagging.

I am no expert, but in my experience, its the Bloatware and many unnecessary features that Samsung puts in its ROMs.

This is the reason Samsung ROMs are usually heavy about 1GB

These apps/features hog up the cache memory over time and takes up system memory.

this causes the lags and freezes (well, at least in my case it was always).

As opposed to this, in CM11 or AOSP ROMs in general are bare bones ROMs which are based on pure android.

this is the reason they are light about 200 MB + 150+ MB for gapps.

less bloat, lesser cache used and lesser lags.

Well this is my inference from my experience with Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S3.

Someone can correct me technically if I am wrong.

So if I'm in love with samsung apps I should live with a slow and low performance roms whether they are stock or custom?

OK OK my bad
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
That is the problem with sammy roms, there's too much bloat and garbage. But there are some ways you can make it slightly better:

1- You can use a de-bloating app (search XDA) and remove unwanted apps for a better performance. But this is not recommended for new users or those who have less experience.

2- You can root your device and use Titanium Backup to freeze un-needed apps/services. Sometimes freezing an app can give you errors so you can defrost them safely, no worries. The apps are not deleted, but they are just hidden from the system.

3- Use an app like Greenify (Donate version recommended) and make them hibernate. Donate version can even freeze system apps like Google Play etc and this is one of the easiest/safest way to speed up your phone and reduce lag. (Need Xposed module to freeze system apps)

4- Use a custom Rom like Resurrection KK (but some camera issues) for fantastic performance.

5- Learn to forget Samsung apps :p There are better apps out there.

Saving your TA must be done before you unlock your bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZEROts:
I have an T-Mobile Move 2 (branded Alcatel OT-918), I already rooted this phone. After quite some time, some software issues happened (boot loop), I sent it to a mobile phone mechanic, and so they said how they just did an OS (probably firmware) update, everything was working fine, I really didn't notice much difference except that less RAM was used, but more storage since all pre-installed apps were updated; I couldn't care less about it.

And after that update I tried to root it, with FlashTool I get an error "Can not find USB port", with PDA.net I get an error "Can't handshake with device", and I tried some other things, they all act as if they cannot properly recognize the device. Although, device works fine, plugged in in any mode, and Google App Store does detect it, thus I can install apps from PC onto it.

Now what I need is something to fix this issue, if it's a driver issue then a proper driver update, if it's some protection that came with that firwmare update, I'd like either a workaround it or a way to downgrade firmware.

My phone was and still is Android Gingerbread 2.3.6.

Thanks in advance!
