flashable zip

guunyman,

Do you still have this flashable zip? I have an T-Mobile G2 and I would like to get Google Wallet working as well but I can't seem to find this flashable zip file anywhere else.

Thanks!
[G2 General] osmosizzz:
I have the T-Mobile G2 but just flashed an international ROM since they don't restrict anything. I have Solavei so I don't use wifi calling so I don't mind having an international model
[G2 General] paqmaster:
Ya I would have gone that route but I need wifi calling since I have terrible coverage at work.
[G2 General] gunnyman:
I do not, sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] jefflongo:
I'm the type of person that loves customization, but only if it looks professional. I was wondering if custom lockers that are available from the play store are legitimate or are they just "apps". By that I mean, if I'm using a custom one, will there ever be a time where a lack of ram can cause it to bug out like not opening, are they going to show my homescreen for a second before running, ect? If so, what makes them different from the stock lock screen? Is the stock locker an app? Is there any way to make a lock screen part of the system? I am rooted and I'm using stock rom, mainly because my phone, ZTE N9810, has no development on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
So, I just bought this phone and the version is 4.3. But it has some weird icons, like, they doesn't belong to this version. What is wrong with this phone? Can I change it back to normal?

The icons that "aren't supposed to be like that" are the phone and messaging ones.

P.S. I just realized that I posted this in the wrong section.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f9cator:
I will assume you have bought a used set. Possibly the previous owner has flashed a custom rom on it.

Maybe you can try download the official rom for your region and flash it with Odin and see if everything goes back to normal.

If you are not sure how to do the flashing, just Google for the instructions.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
I also thought it might be a custom rom. And yes, it's an used set, kind of, but the person said it was never used.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
But is your knox triggerd? :o
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
You just have MCIC icon visible as previous user set it up for you, using the Jedi powers (because you have to trust him that he did not used the phone at all) ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
Knox is not installed if that's what you mean.

I think you can say if this phone has a custom rom in the "about device" section, right?

See image attached.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
I don't think that it is a custom rom, maybe he flashed som zips

go to sammobile.com and find your firmware, and flash it to stock so it will be normal ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
Thanks, I will try that! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
I read the instructions and it seems really easy. I just hope everything goes well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untitledtragedy:
But one question... I don't really know what have they done to this device, is it really safe to do the flash? I remember that I bought a couple of years ago an used phone that I don't remember the model name, and they told me that the phone was rooted, I checked the phone and it didn't have any visible sign of being rooted and I also downloaded an app and indeed the phone wasn't rooted, so I proceed to update the phone, and bam! Motherboard died.

I want to be sure that is really safe so I can proceed to flash it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
I think there is nothing wrong, but try this:

go to System Settings>More

About Device>Status and scroll down

Does it say:

Device status

Official

?

PS: sorry for the big pictures... HD hehe... xd but XDA cant resize it :(

[Acer Iconia A500] skrapmetal:
Having trouble connecting this tablet to anything. I have tried 3 separate computers (Windows 7 on two of them, XP on the other), 3 different cords, USB debugging is checked in settings, and drivers are installed. None of the computers detect it at all, I connect the cord and nothing happens. No sound, and nothing pops up in the device manager of the PC's. It's almost as if the Micro USB port in this tablet is dead.

I want to make sure I have tried everything before I crack it open and take a look inside. I'm not a n00b to androids or tablets. All my devices are rooted and I just installed a ROM in my A200, etc. But this a problem I've never encountered. Any ideas to something else I can try?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Drivers...Acers and those from the sdk.

Try putting tab in apx mode and then connecting...

failing that uninstall ALL drivers then reinstall only the a500 drivers...

Also try opening cmd on the folder which contains adb.exe
[Acer Iconia A500] thakrew317:
I have the same issue on windows 8
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yes you will, unless someone has come up with a driver fix lately. Use xp, Vista or win 7....or linux
[Acer Iconia A500] skrapmetal:
Did all of the above steps, no dice.

I opened a cmd window while in apx mode and adb could not find a device.

Tried all of my USB ports on my PC after I reinstalled the drivers.

I really think the micro usb port in this thing is dead but the regular usb port works fine.

I'm lost on what to try next

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mangurian:
I have read and I like the new restrictions on "external SD card" use. It will prevent a lot of apps from leaving crapola all over your device.

It does not restrict your use of data etc. It just keeps you organized. If you want to uninstall an app and still keep its data, you can simply move the data to a new folder.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jauger:
You must be stock and unrooted....Kit Kat is a major pain in the rear to root users..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mangurian:
True - I only root my devices when they are out-dated.

I don't think the 8013 has reached that point yet.

I am still happy with its performance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] starbuckk:
But what I am understanding is apps are corralled to their own folders. This implies to me that some I rely on will cease to work. Example:

I use folder sync to keep lecture notes synced between my 10.1 and S4. By my read of KitKat, folder sync will be prohibited from writing to the lecture notes folder.

What about photos? Different apps to adjust photos depending on what I want to do.

And what about ES File Explorer. Won't it become useless?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] schnurrbidurr:
Sorry if I may be asking the obvious, but in what way is KitKat a pain for root users?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mangurian:
We don't have all the answers, but I'd bet dollars to donuts there will, at least, be work-arounds" for any on these problems.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaykresge:
There aren't. I've had KitKat since weeks after release (S4 GPe). I've been in touch with many developers and made them aware of the issue before it went mainstream. Bottom line, here's the limitation in the simplest of terms.

-An app can read any file on the MicroSD Card.

-An app can only modify contents within a self contained subfolder

So, file managers won't work if stock and unrooted (read only, no writing). FolderSync doesn't work. ES doesn't work (it will tell you that it created/deleted/modified the folder, but then when you refresh, the change never happened).

A good example of how this works would be with a bare bones gallery application. If you store your photos in a random folder within the SD card, the Gallery app can view them. However, if you try to delete a picture, it will only remove from the gallery and remain on the SD card. After a device reboot, it will reappear in the gallery (this also happens with Google Photos and the stock Gallery app).

Another way to do this would be for the gallery app to copy all photos to the gallery subfolder and ignore photos outside of this folder. And if you remove the app? Photos are gone (except what was at the original location). But, this just causes duplication issues.

Lastly, applications can be given permission to read/write to VERY specific ContentProviders and folders. So eventually, you'll have a shared folder called "Pictures" that any gallery application can modify as needed. However, this function is, again, for very specific usage and still prevents file managing apps from doing what they're intended to do.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Seems like the android team need to add some sort of "firewall" implementation, for apps users WANT their old ability back and still provide their users with this security for the majority of their other apps, it doesnt have to be all or nothing, .......make the most secured option as default, for basic users, while giving the power users the option to "fine tune" it, i.e. the "firewall" analogy
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mangurian:
Just to be clear, if I write an app and want to write (not modify) to an external SD card I must write to the self contained folder.

Is that correct?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jenacadabra:
I don't see how you think it doesn't restrict a user's data but keeps the card organised, when I have all my data (a LOT of work PDFs and docs, plus some photos), all nicely filed away and synchronised with my NAS, and other tablets; and now I cannot do this. I cannot organise my content at all (actually I am struggling even to put it on the SD card, except by taking it out out plugging it into a USB adapter into my PC). Until now, I have never had any apps leave crapola on my SD card. I used to be able to save lecture recordings direct to a nice "recordings" file on the SD card. Now it has to put it somewhere obscure (android/data/.somthingrandomthatisapaintofind).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] The_mitch:
It seems this works on some apps and not on others. For example foldersync doesn't seem to be able to write to the external sd card anymore, nor does X-plore, however, Es file Explorer seems to be fine about it, and happily writes files to the sdcard?! So if ES can do it, why can't the others?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] norbarb:
I'm on kitkat for over month now and I don't know what is big buzz about. I did not notice any different behavior from my external card. I can read and write whatever I want using pc explorer. Es works fine. Stock my files is fine too. So can somebody explain problem litte more please?

Type from KitKat bar.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jenacadabra:
I see - you are just using the USB cable I assume. The functionality I have lost is to:

a) wirelessly synchronise multiple pdf/document files in multiple folders and multiple subfolders, whether edited on the Note or on PC (or both).

b) Used a file management app to organise files & folders on my home network between my PC and external SD card. It was even able to wirelessly copy my work direct from the NAS.

None of the apps I used stored any files on my SD card and because they have taken away my access to my SD card I cannot sync my files properly. I realise I could just plug the cable in, but that is not practicable when I am editing 100s of documents in 100s of different subfolders a day - an automatic sync is fantastic. Android is strongly geared towards the "leisure" side of the market and I am going to have to take another look at Windows tablets if they don't fix this (except I would miss the S Pen!)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaykresge:
What device are you using that can write to SD using ES? I have the Galaxy S4 GPe (i9505G) and ES cannot do anything with the SD Card.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] starbuckk:
Have you updated ES? I heard they upated to fix it.

As I understand there is something called storage access framework that is supposed to be the replacement for direct file access.

I haven't seen kitkat. FolderSync is my biggest concern.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] The_mitch:
I'm on a Samsung galaxy note 3, with kitkat 4.4.2 and ES file Explorer 3.1.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jenacadabra:
Yes, thanks to a post somewhere on XDA I am now using ES file manager, which as you say, will work with the ExtSD on Kitkat (though I still prefer Astro myself).

I still can't sync my content though which is the bigger problem. I used to use SyncMe. A fantastically easy to set up App that would seamlessly sync content across multiple devices (still works fine on my Note 8). I can't find anything to replace this at present.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaykresge:
What ROM are you using? Are you on stock 4.4.2 OTA without root?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] The_mitch:
Yes, stock unrooted Samsung kitkat 4.2.2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaykresge:
On my device, ES 3.1.1 allows me to create a folder but I cannot edit or delete the folder. I cannot create, edit, or delete files. If I delete folders, they will initially disappear, but will not actually delete. They reappear upon a refresh.

[HTC Droid DNA] AnonCantRead:
Hello everyone, first of all sorry if this has been posted a million times, but i just cant seem to find any answers, if been looking for hours without results. Heres my situation

Got a used HTC DROID DNA in mid december, it was completely stock, s-on and not rooted or anything.

i managed to root it and install a custom ROM, the device was running TWRP.

now, a few weeks ago i was trying to install a new ROM, at first it failed, it would just reboot me to my old ROM, after doing some searching i managed to install it (cant remember what was wrong right now), that same day i went on a small road trip, a few hours later, i knew my battery was extremely low, i pulled my phone out of my pocket, turned the screen on and just saw a a glimpse of the battery saying 3 or 4% and then it just shut down, it showed the white HTC screen and it died, i thought nothing of it, thing is, that was the last time it ever lived, after that, i got home and tried to charge it, nothing works, no led light, it doesnt vibrate i cant enter recovery or do anything, the phone is dead, ive tried leaving it stuck to the charger for hours and nothing.

doing some research it told me to do a few button combinations but non of them worked, i also removed the battery and installed it again, didnt work.

now the thing that gives me hopes that the phone can be relived is that when connected to any pc, the computer recognizes it and installs the driver, it doesnt say its a htc phone, but it says the device is ready to use, i cant even see it in my devices though..... another thing that happens is that when i connect it, windows plays the USB plugged in sound, and exactly (ive timed it numerous times) 5 seconds later, plays the sound that is played when a USB device is disconnected, then about 1 second later it recognizes it again, and this just keeps looping, i have no idea what to do, tried finding it in ADB and nothing.

anybody have any ideas? or tips i can do?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Let it sit on the charger for 24+ hours then try turning it on, people have reported this to work in situations like yours.
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
Did you really remove and replace the battery? It's integrated into the phone; isn't that a bit of work in advance of charging it over night and maybe trying other things?

I never would have done that on this phone. I probably would have just CL'd another used one before attempting to R/R the battery. Can you post some instructions?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
He didn't remove it from the phone he just disconnected it and reconnected it. I'm pretty sure the battery has strong adhesive that is attached to the housing. The battery can bend when pulling on it that's how strong the adhesive is.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] mumsy:
Hey, I had cyangonenmod 10.1 by the whisp for quite a time now. I decided to try swapper and my phone was stuck in bootloop (power on shows samsung logo then off, trying to go download mode shows little light and off, recovery didn't work either, connecting USB shows the same light and off (and odin recognized then 2 seconds after it disconnected), connecting wall charge with the same little ligth and off).

I didn't try adb(maybe if it was possible I could run shell swapoff or something) but now my battery seems to be drained, none of the mentioned above shows any respone.

I have a nandroid backup, but without recovery mode is no use. Is there a way to do something without battery? or even if I get a battery is there something to do?

I had soft brick motorolla defy with battery drained out last week and forums said try Macgyver method (cut any usb cable and connect the red cable to the + where you put the battery) and it worked, should I try it here?

yes..there are chances to a jtag to not work but it worth a try

basically if the problem is the broken emmc yes it will work like would do boot-from-sdcard
