[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
Thanks, both of you.

So, what are the steps what I need to do to unroot Kingo (if needed), update to 4.4.2 if available in my country, and install CF?

1. Un-root Kingo (if necessarily otherwise skip this step).

2. Install 4.4.2 via Kies

3. Root with CF.

Are this the right steps, or do I miss something?

Just asking this to avoid bricking my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayushkhajuria2842:
Step 1: Download the firmware package and

Odin v3.09 , and extract the zip files.

Step 2: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.

Step 4: Switch off the Galaxy S4 and put it in

Download Mode. To do this, press Volume

Down + Home + Power buttons.

Step 5: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer

via the USB cable while the phone is in the

Download mode. Wait until a blue sign

appears in Odin.

Step 6: Click on the AP button in Odin and

select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in

Step 1.

Step 7: In Odin, select the Auto Reboot and F.

Reset Time options, but make sure that the re-

partition checkbox is not checked.

Step 8: Now, click on the Start button in Odin

to begin the installation process.

Step 9: Once the installation is complete, the

device will restart and a PASS message will

appear in the left-most box at the top of Odin.

Step 10: Once you get the Samsung logo on

the home screen, you can unplug the device

from the computer and close Odin.

These steps would make u hav 4.4.2 and unroot ur device both then u can apply respective method to root 4.4.2

Thanks mate!

Only question I have is; Where to find the package which I have to extract in Step 1? Download it via SamMobile when available for NL or..?

I saw that 4.4.2 has a new bootloader. Can it be a problem when I try to upgrade to 4.4.2 via Odin?

On which firmware r u right now
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
I have 4.3 right now.

Lots of people say that 4.4.2 has a modified bootloader, and modified EFS folder.

Can that get me stuck while updating to 4.4.2 or isn't it any problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayushkhajuria2842:
No beacuse if it was the case noone could hav flashed 4.4.2 via odin ......
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
Okay thanks, I'll wait till it's available in my country and then I'll update via the steps you provided.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
Another question.. Do I need to do something with Knox (disable it or something like that), because it might cause problems when I've rooted my phone?

(I readed it via the SamMobile forums).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
If you update to 4.4.2 you can't go back to 4.3 because the bootloader is locked ;) , but it doesn't matter 4.4.2 is better, and I'm waiting for the update in Holland to! Duurt altijd lang met Samsung updates XD
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
I hope that I don't brick my S4 because it looks like my root (Kingo Root) did make some problems at my phone (as I even can't get CWM working).

Kun je dit topic (van mij) eens lezen, en dan zeggen of je het probleem kent, en of ik me 'zorgen' moet maken daarover?

So okay, I don't want to lose all my data (applications, settings etc).

What does a Clockworkmod Recovery backup include?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayushkhajuria2842:
Cwm backup will backup your rom also u need to backup from an app like super backup if without root ..........nd titanium backup if u r going to root 4.4.2 also
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
It will backup everything, the rom, the kernel, your settings, your apps + data. It will take like 5 minutes to backup everything.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
I've flashed TWRP recovery, and backed up: Boot, system, and data.

If I install 4.4.2 KitKat (stock, with root), which backups do I need to restore for only my applications and data (I guess I don't need Boot and system??)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
I never used TWRP but I think data

btw GG dutch people, can talk Dutch to each other but instead talks English so other people who visit this thread can understand it ;D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelw1998:
Yes, that's why I keep talking English. Maybe you can accept my friendinvitation so we can talk in Dutch to eachother in private.

Do you know when the NL version of 4.4.2 is getting released?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Axel Foley:
Holux GPSlim236 (SirfIII):

http://www.semsons.com/hogpwigpsres.html

I bought it on ebay (new) for $65 + shipping...

It's a great bluetooth receiver...the best I tried...good battery duration, great sensitiveness (I can put it almost everywhere in the car...) and hooks satellites really fast...

Works great with my BlueAngel and TomTom Navigator.

Really recommended...;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] PPCNUT:
Well I have the I-Blue GPS and I find it great I think it should be compatible with your ROM. I have had it for a few weeks and I still haven't charged it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] balakhan:
Hands down, the GPSlim 236 by Holux wins in the BT-GPS category.

The receiver uses the SirfStar III chipset, which is what TomTom uses in their GPS units (that cost almost $1000).

Get the GPSlim 236 and pair it with TomTom Navigator v5 software. You'll be happy when you realize that while others are carrying around separate GPS, Phones, PDAs and MP3 players, you've got it all in one compact, sexy Blue Angel. :cool:

I can't post a link yet, but it's easy enough to find on the hp store.

Has anyone bought this yet? What are your thoughts on it if so?

I've been using a cheap Poetic case I had from when I had a 2012 Nexus 7, but it doesn't fit quite right and it covers the stylus, headphone port, and hdmi port so have been looking for a better stand case. Most of the universals just don't work because of the placement of the power button, ports, or stylus.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumaxe:
Hi bros, i have a 16Gb XT1032 GPE and out of fun, i threw at it some of "fastboot oem unlock", and then some "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.0.3.2-falcon.img", then i tried flashing multiple roms but keep getting a very annoying "Encryption Unsuccessful" message and no matter how many times i reboot or reflash or common sense things i do, it wont boot anything but Stock.

Pic very related And attached!

Any ideas?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMiguelAcuna:
You are doing the wrong procedure.

GPE devices need a reboot after unlocking its bootloader, (Need to wipe everything stored under /data/ partition)

AFAIK, A custom recovery can handle those instructions and leads on a booting-always-in-recovery or that "Encryption Unseccessful" thing.

Try flashing stock recovery again and let your device wipe everything up.

If that procedure works, you can re-flash your custom recovery again.

Hope that helps.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumaxe:
Thanks for the help bro, ill stick with stock for at least a week and then ill check things out. If they dont work, expect a bump in this thread...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumaxe:
Ok so i lied, i flashed stock, did a couple of reboots in stock recovery, and flashed like 3 roms. still no go and still the encryption thing pops up.

i have honestly no idea what to do now.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMiguelAcuna:
Does the stock Rom works fine?

Did you try a factory reset under settings?

Enviado desde mi XT1032 mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumaxe:
everything

I did everything the "right" way, i even relocked the bootloader and then re-unlocked it just thinking it was that. any time i try to flash it with anything that is not the original stock GPE rom it will show the encryption thing. does it have to do anything with the fact its a gpe device? i was really exited to get the gpe edition because it would be fun and straightforward like the nexus 5 but now i feel i screwed up by doin that since it aparently only likes the stupid stock rom. now im officialy out of ideas.

[Moto G Themes and Apps] AGAWhitty:
Hi,

I'm not really bothered about high resolution gaming or high res textures ect when gaming on my phone, I would much rather have a phone that lasted all day.

So was wondering if downloading GLTools on my Moto G and lowering the resolution, texture res ect on NFS:MW for example and underclocking to the lowest clock speed that gives me playable fps with lowest possible graphics would save me much Juice?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] theoneofgod:
Most likely.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] AGAWhitty:
Thought someone might know but I guess I'll test it out when I have time with all radios off ect. And post results in case anyone else can benefit from it.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] liveroy:
You probably won't see much of a difference, due to that your cpu/gpu are not the biggest battery hungry components when playing games.

I know it sounds weird, but your display backlight and numerous RAM addressings tax your battery way more.

Doesn't hurt to try tho, good luck.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] AGAWhitty:
I did a short experiment which told me what I needed to know, I haven't got mass amounts of time to do in depth tests so I did this.

Charged my Moto G up to 100% with lowest screen brightness, volume muted, put it in aeroplane mode and played Blocky Roads for 3 hours at 3 different clock speeds, 30 mins with normal graphics and another 30 mins with GLTools halving the screen resolution and texture resolution.

This was my result.

30% an hour at 1190 mhz = 3 hours 20 mins total gaming time

18% an hour at 600 mhz = 5 hours 30 mins total gaming time

12 % an hour at 384 Mhz = 8 hours 20 mins total gaming time

I then did it with the lowered graphics and found it didn't change a thing, BUT! It was very useful for making the lower clock speed game play more playable and I will be using it for just that!

Interesting ... Thanks for the info:good:

Which app did you use for underclocking? Were you on stock or a custom ROM?

What's up everyone. I had a stock One but needed to get my crackflash on so I bought a rooted One online.

So here are my questions 1) how can I tell what recovery is installed 2) how can i tell if the bootloader is unlocked?

And before you ask, I bought it third party so I wasn't able to get the info from the seller.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Boot to hboot to see if the bootloader is unlocked. With the phone off hold vol down and power at the same time, untill a white screen appears (hboot). It will say at the top either locked, unlocked, or relocked. Then from hboot scroll down to recovery and select it with the power button. Once in recovery it wil say at the top which one it is and what version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
Thanks so much! Any suggestion on which recovery to use? I've read pros and con's of each. I'll prolly flash Vipers ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
I prefer TWRP. It has a nicer ui, and it backs up and restores a good 3 to 4 times faster than cwm.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
That's what I'm used to. Can I just flash it in recovery or would I need to adb it over? I think the last time I had a rooted phone I flashed twrp via ROM manager
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
Best way to flash TWRP is via fastboot. Follow instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
You could also use Root Recovery Tools - Flasher from the market as well. If you have a usb-otg adapter you can also flash it thru hboot as a PN07IMG.zip. And you can also flash it thru fastboot RUU mode.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
Don't mean to hijack the thread but I had a quick question- what's the difference between doing an RUU and just flashing the stock OTA rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
An ota updates not only the rom, but also all the other system images (bootloader, radio, recovery, and many other behind the scenes partitions.) Also obviously the ruu will not be pre rooted like the rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
Got the phone today and the bootloader is unlocked. It has Clockwork installed. Its not the latest, any real reason to upgrade it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Not really unless its realy old, which i doubt.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
I would just recommend switching to TWRP though, CWM seems to give people issues sometimes
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Sometimes current ROMs can have issues in flashing on older recoveries. I have had zero issues with twrp. While with cwm on my bolt all my backups got corrupted. I have tried cwm just to see how it is coming but like said it takes forever to do a backup. I just wish we could get the 4ext recovery. That was one recovery that in my eyes blew even twrp away. Twrp will never let you down.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
I just did a backup with the CWM that was installed, it was only one version behind, and the backup is only 38mb?? I know that backups are usually 1 gb or so. I'm guessing I'll be flashing TWRP later on today.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
That's definitely not a full backup lol.

When I start up the omate it goes to the watch face. If I try to go into any launcher with wifi turned on the watch pops and then powers off suddenly. If I put it in airplane mode it will run fine. I can turn bluetooth on and it will continue to run. If I turn on wifi the watch shuts off.

I read another thread where turning off quickboot and then restarting the watch should help wifi/bluetooth behaviors. This did not help me. Has anyone else exprienced this or have a suggestion how to fix it?

My firmware is 20140120

I've had this watch less then 12 hours and can't even make it work well enough to try it out.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
You received a defective watch. If you have already opened it, you might see something obvious wrong in the assembly, like maybe a mis-connected antenna, or more likely not.

Getting a replacement for your defective TrueSmart will take some time, if it turns out to be possible at all.
[Ornate TrueSmart] TCommander:
So it turns out it isn't wifi it is the Fleksy keyboard. I disabled Fleksy and was able to type in the Wifi password and connect.

Very odd issue for sure.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
You mean when Fleksy is enabled, trying to enable WiFi shuts down your watch, but if you disable Fleksy then you can enable WiFi and your watch does shut down ?

I also had a horrible time trying to use Fleksey to enter my password. I gave up and connected a Bluetooth keyboard.
[Ornate TrueSmart] TCommander:
That is what I meant.

Upon even further tinkering with Fleksy disabled I've found what I think to be the actual issue....

The speaker crashes the watch.

Fleksy made noise when I tried to type and crashed the watch.

Loaded Google Hangouts, got a message and the watch crashed.

Loaded Pandora, started a music station and the watch crashed

Set an alarm and when it went off the watch crashed.

Has anyone else seen this issue or read about it?

Did you know that you can create shortcut icons in the Multi Window panel that will automatically open paired windows of your choice?

If you didn't here's how.

Open the Multi Window panel on the left side of the screen, then open two apps that you use together. Now with both apps on your screen open the Multi Window panel again and look for the up arrow at the bottom of this panel and touch it. A little menu will open, select create.
