I wish to root SGP311 UK 10.4.1.B.0.109

I have a FTF file but no separate smaller zip file. I don't know what to do next!

I have flash tool installed...

Is Fastboot? mode enabled (get-into) by pressing the volume up key at the same time as you plug in a usb cable?

Please help!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] donedos:
1.) I suggest you simply flash 10.1.C.0.370 firmware and root it using the attached file below.

2.) install the latest dual recovery by NUT.

3.) then follow this:

Try this bro for. 577

Or try this on the new firmware .109

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2671276

two important things, you should be rooted and has a recovery installed before proceeding the update and retain the root .
[Xperia Tablet Z General] moesus:
I can also confirm this works :D

Went from a rooted 4.3 to this new version with keeping root. Both zip files extracted just fine.

For 80 bucks I'm expecting a lot.

A WHOLE LOT.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdd2:
On my list!!

The Note 3 does everything I could ask for, but Sammi dropped the ball by not making it at the least, water resistant. The S4 Active showed that they could have, and the new S5 is rumored to come standard with IP67 (3' for 30 minutes)

I won't likely upgrade to the Note 4 - I can't see it having anything that spectacular over the 3, so a good protective case that adds true water/dust protection would be perfect.

My only concern with the OBEX is the clear screen protection material they choose to use - most plastic screen protectors are poor at best, and get progressively worse over a very short period of time . . .

Never used an Obex case but a big fan of Seido. How does the obex cases compare to the Otter box defender as far as bulk? I know the obex is an all weather case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mustangnismo:
I had both for my S3. I'd say they both add a considerable amount of bulk but it looks as if Seidio cut back a little for the Note's model based on the pictures, but of course I could be wrong. I think Seidio was a little more bulkier than the Otterbox, though. I feel its justified due to the simple fact that the Otterbox merely covers ports while Seidio has to ensure they're weather proof as well. In any case, I'm constantly refreshing the Seidio page daily waiting for the release. Must be getting close because they added 6 more pictures about 2 days ago.

I will say with the Seidio case I had more complaints about people being able to hear me clearly on the phone and it muffled the sound a bit on the ear piece, too so I resorted to bluetooth for calls. It seems that the longer my S3 was in the Seidio case, the farther away if got from the screen (mere milometers, I'm sure) but it did effect the responsiveness of the touchscreen. When you first put it in it was pretty responsive but still not as good as a stock screen. I'd love for them to release a model similar to the nude Lifeproof case for the S3... which I saw today they are now selling at Walmart.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] indecentspeech:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Fendulon:
I actually really like the look of this case. A little pricey, but it has my interest.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apallohadas:
I wouldn't say it's ugly, just horribly priced.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Random Select:
The OBEX for the iPhone 5 was terrible (audio and earpiece issues and the flimsy port covers was a total letdown). I'd stay away from the OBEX line and hope Otterbox creates one for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Fendulon:
I can agree with that. I might pay 60$.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chillout2010:
I really want this case since I work in a milk factory and routinely get my uniforms wet. I'd really like a white color option though as the black isn't my preference for my white note.

If the cheap Chinese cases can have gorilla glass, why not this case? Seriously the plastic screen cover with 4H rating will get scratched to bits, for $80 I expected better materials.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] noobmaster:
Definitely want one but the price is an absolute killer.

Is there any chance of the price going down? Maybe after it starts selling on Amazon? I would get it if it's in the $50~$60 range, but $80 is an overkill.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] graydiggy:
Because it would heavily interfere with the S-Pen. And those Chinese cases have tempered glass or just glass. Corning really only deals with the Big guys where they will make the most money.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mickey Padge:
The Chinese case had tempered glass by corning, and all touch and pen functions worked as they should, just needed to turn on high touch sensitivity.....

Even non corning tempered glass would be better than the soft plastic they are using here, 4H scratch resistant? Very poor, and for $80? No thanks! :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] graydiggy:
High touch sensitivity drains battery faster. Shouldn't have to turn it on. Also, you are purchasing a waterproof case, not a crappy plastic screen protector. A whole case and holster clip if I am not mistaken.

If it lives up to its quality and name, 80 is well worth it.

Also, if you Crack a glass screen protector on a waterproof case... Guess what happens... It's no longer water proof.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mickey Padge:
Haven't noticed a significant drop in battery power with high sensitivity on, and decent glass protectors will have layers embedded within them, so it's not inconceivable that it would be able to hold its waterproofing if broken, plastic punctures easily too....

They could have used something better than 4H plastic is all I'm saying, especially at the price point they want. I wish lifeproof made a case for the note 3, I'm sure one of their designs left the screen bare but was still waterproof!

you can hard reset by holding the comm manager button along with the voice command button then while holding those down press the soft reset hole with the stylus and it will hard reset. to get it into safe mode, the only way i know is if you have pocke+ installed and after failed boot attempt it will prompt you for safe mode. You can also boot it in usb mode, that will allow you to update the rom through the pc.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shott3r:
This is for my friend's ATT One. Bone stock, unrooted, S-On, no changes made to the device from the store. He took the OTA for Kit Kat and was running fine, then his phone rebooted on him a couple days later and won't go past the white HTC boot screen.

Two problems: First, I cannot use ADB, as it does not detect his phone. When I plug in his phone, it says drivers failed to install for HTC MTP device. I also have an HTC One, unlocked, S-Off, etc., and when I plug mine in, it's detected and ADB works just fine like always (so it's not that I need to reinstall drivers).

Problem 2: the phone seems to hang trying to do a factory reset from the bootloader menu, or from the stock recovery menu. It will start the reset, reboot to the white HTC screen then hang. I left it for more than an hour twice. Nothing doing.

Is there a way to reflash/restore his phone without wiping his sdcard? He's OK losing the data partition, but wiping sdcard is last resort. Using an RUU .exe will wipe his sdcard, as will unlocking his bootloader to try to install a custom recovery. Just not really sure what tools I have at my disposal with a stock recovery and no adb. Will fastboot flashing a rom.zip extracted from the ATT RUU also wipe his sdcard? Or does that only happen with the RUU .exe? Any ideas appreciated..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Did you tried wiping /cache?

ADB can only be used when phone is booted+usb debug on or via custom recovery

I hope so, factory reset is a /data wipe... :rolleyes: probably already wiped from your first attempt to factory reset

And the available ruu.exe for at&t is a downgrade in version so it will require s-off.

you can't flash a rom directly from fastboot. You can flash a rom via a custom recovery or flash a ruu.zip from RUUmode (fastboot oem rebootRUU).

Unfortunately I think there is no way to save /sdcard. You will need to unlock bootloader to flash a custom recovery.

easy way:

flash twrp custom recovery

flash guru reset rom for your version

or

flash twrp custom recovery

flash and use arhd rom

or the long way:

flash twrp

flash arhd

s-off

flash ruu.zip
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shott3r:
I did erase cache first thing. Regarding flashing the ruu.zip from RUUmode, my question is whether flashing the ruu.zip will erase the sdcard? Also does it even matter, since he has KK firmware, and is S-On? Will the ruu.zip from Jellybean 4.3 even flash on his (current) KK firmware?

Any ideas on why the factory reset would hang? Cuz that's best case scenario is to simply factory reset, but it seems not to work presently.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
ruu will wipe everything.

and no you can't use ruu with s-on because its a downgrade in version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shott3r:
Is there any way that you know of to get access to the sdcard in the circumstance I've described to try to rescue some files before I set about with the rescue? Doubt it, but just asking.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
maybe you could use remote recovery booting (booting a custom recovery without installing it). Not sure if it still can be done (think it was disabled in 4.2.2)

fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img

then use adb from recovery to copy sdcard content to your computer

adb pull /sdcard C:\somefolder

If you can't boot from a remote recovery, then I think you can say goodbye to those files in your /sdcard :(

Since the hardware specs between the G Pro 2 and the G2 are mostly the same is it possible to port some of the features present in the G Pro 2, such as Knock Code, EIS (which is a software imagine stabilization that's present on top of OIS) and other features?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
So I just dropped my Note 3 of 2 weeks on the floor (with a case on it) and although the glass isn't cracked, the LCD and digitizer is definitely junk since its all warped in color and mostly black. Thank the gods I have insurance.

I have it Rooted and Safestrap installed and luckily made a backup before I installed Xposed when all was still well. I'm familar with Clockworkmod and flashing that way but new to Safestrap. What is the best way to get my new phone back to how the dropped one was like? Not sure of what files to copy onto my PC and back onto the new phone once I get a new one. Would it make a difference if the backup is from another phone?

My main concern is getting all my username and passwords out of the OI Safe app so it's the main reason for wanting to flash my old backup to the new phone. Other than that I'm not to worried about the rest of the phone since it's fairly new and didn't have it long enough for lots of pics and getting it set up the way I really wanted it.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That should work with the following big caveat: if you were on the MJ7 kernel (or earlier), and the new phone is on MJE, restoring the full nandroid backup probably won't work at all and is not adviseable. (Remember that Safestrap "ROM"s do not replace the stock kernel).

If the two phones are from the identical release, then what I would do is the following:

- Root and install SafeStrap as usual.

- Immediately make a Nandroid of the Stock Slot using Safestrap. Get it copied off the phone someplace safe (and named in a way that you can remember it) too.

- Make a second slot in Safestrap and restore the backup from the previous phone to this alternate/second slot.

( Note if you were using a ton of the userdata partition on the old phone you will need to right-size the 2nd slot when you create it. Of course, if you were a data-pig on the old phone and there is no room for a sufficiently-large 2nd slot, then this method of rescue is not available to you. In this case you could restore the original nandroid backup directly to the stock slot - only if you were 100% positive of the same kernel release being used on both phones - but if something goes wrong here you might be making a trip to Odin to re-flash stock and then going through the rooting process all over again ).

- You can use it this way for a little while if you like to see if things are working, or rescue critical data from individual apps, or perhaps make TiBu backups of individual apps (that can be later restored into a different ROM). If things seem to be going swimmingly, you can certainly repeat this process, restoring to the stock slot and then destroying the alternate/second slot.

Note that there are other means of rescue of individual apps which do not require a full restore; this is because the Nandroid backups are (concatenated) "tar" archives, and with sufficient command-line knowledge, you could manually splice into place the appropriate folders from /data/data/*, /data/app/*, and /data/lib/* for individual market apps you wanted to rescue from the old backups. Essentially you are doing the same thing that TiBu does, but manually using adb with the phone in Safestrap recovery mode and the command line.

I'm not going to document this, as it is too tedious to do so - either you already have the working knowledge to do this or you don't. The only tricky part to it is getting the user/group ownership of the files correct. (The easiest way to do this is to install the app from the market, then record the owner/group information it used for the new install of the app, restore the /data/data/* files into the correct place, and then as root "chown" them to the correct user ID... either that or run the "Fix Permissions" script of the recovery).

good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
I am about 99% sure it was on MJE, I remeber checking it before rooting and following the newest root method available for the newest kernel among other things such as installing Safestrap and Xposed framework.

I unfortunately don't have any experience using Odin or adb, which is something I should know how to do seeing I'm always tinkering with all the phones I get. I'm pretty good with figuring things out when someone points me in the right direction such as you did by searching and following guides here on xda so I thank you for that! I'll try your idea of rescuing the individual app such as TiBu would do using adb. Or even restoring the ROM into a second slot, grabbing the data I need, then get rid of that rom.

And for anyone else reading this...it's never too early to use TiBu or any other backup app for all your important data. Never expected my brand new phone to break after only 2 weeks of owning it but lesson learned.

Thanks a lot for the help, I'll let you know how things go once my new phone arrives.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanezz:
I've had my moto G for about 2-3 weeks now and i still notice this weird issue with battery drops. For example:

I take it off the charger at 100% and it drains normally to 97% then i don't use the phone for maybe 15-30 minutes and suddenly the percentage dropped to 93%. Then i was using the phone again at 93% and it suddenly dropped from 93 to 90.. And this is just an example, because the percentage drop is always different but it's always between 100 and 90%

And the weird thing is that after it has gotten to 89% it just settles its self again. By settling i mean that it just drops with 1%.

I am on the latest firmware (176... european version) But i also had this issue on the firmware before (174...)

Hopefully somebody knows a solution.
