yes you need to install them either via wondershare or adb. Wondershare is the easier route

install the software on your pc, connect the gear via USB then the software will have options to the play store and search for the apps. An alternative is to search for the apk using your pc (i.e. EasyTether.apk) then downoad them to the pc. In wondershare, click on the Files/SDCARD then DWONLOAD directory, then click ADD, point it to the apk files you just downloaded than once it uploads, use wondershare and double click on the file name and it should install it one the gear

Hey guys, I used TWRP to back up files, then by mistake I used format data instead advanced wipe!

So I lost everything on my mobile with the back up files! :crying:

Now I googled file extension for TWRP back up, it was .WIN

^ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694617 ^

So is there any program that I can use to restore the back up files? If not, How can I restore at-least pictures, videos, messages, contacts.. etc?

If someone there can help me, please do! any little info can be useful!

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super1bat:
Hi

I just installed PhoeniX ROM V17.0 on Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100

when I was installing it I choose transparent to be 50%

but now after I saw it I don't like it to be transparent

So is there a way to remove the transparent without re-flash the rom ?

btw I couldn't post in PhoeniX thread because I have fewer than 10 posts

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Probably not... but you can just dirty flash it (meaning you don't wipe anything) and choose the normal (not 50% transparent)... all your apps, etc should still be in tact.

**But always make a backup/nandroid backup anyway... to be safe.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobztopz:
you should open updater-script on phoenix zip file... search text about install transparent, which file it needed to be replaced. no need to re-flash rom

okay thanks

btw what is modem ? and what is the difference between the four modems ?

I have a rooted LG Nexus 4 running on 4.22 and I am not quite sure how to upgrade it since it has already been rooted. I was hoping to upgrade it 4.4 KitKat. However, I am still new to this and I apologize if this has been answered before. I am new to xda as this is my first post. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You should be able to take the ota. You will lose root however. If that doesn't work then fastboot flash the stock 4.2.2 factory image. That will remove root and will also wipe your device so backup first.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] inquisitor:
Hello world.

Just flashed the WWE_T-Mobile_1.13.zip BS ROM to my brand new VPA compact, which I bought for € 180 at eBay (btw: was that cheap or not?).

Now I would like to add MMS and Camera applications.

So my first question is, do I need to install a complete Extended ROM or can I pick only some of the CAB files of it?

If so, what are all those CAB files for and which are really necessary? Which do you recommend? I would prefer not to have any network operator's branding.

Thank you.

regards,

inquisitor
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] zerimar:
Download any of the Ext ROM from the ftp, extract it, then install the ones you like or need. Most filenames are self-explanatory. I personally installed only smartdial, mms, phone pad, camera.
[Moto X General] flacco40:
Yes this is for Locked Bootloaders! But on Verizon only!! Yes 100% working ROM with root safestrap and write protect OFF!

You must be on or revert back to 4.2.2, root it with RockMyMoto, then run MotoWpNoMo, then install safestrap or do the same with 4.4 first... Then follow KrYpToNiTe's guide here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/116025-romsafestrapxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-164552-kitkat-442/

PS. If you have 4.4, rsd back to 4.2.2 AND IF...you updated to 4.4.2 you might be out of luck sorry.

Thanks to KrYpToNiTe for this wonderful work as thanks as well to: jcase for root, Hashcode for safestrap and beups and fuses for MotoWpNoMo.
[Moto X General] tekhna:
This isn't rooted 4.4.2, this is a Safestrap ROM. Unless I'm missing something here?
[Moto X General] flacco40:
Ok however you may want to call it, this method gives locked bootloader Verizon phones stock 4.4.2 Rooted with wp off. It is the same exact thing as if you had updated ota then ran the exploits...it just came out like 2 days ago, and it helps people that been wanting to upgrade from 4.4 without loosing the goodies. And no its not just a ROM its a guide because you must run several steps besides just flashing the ROM.
[Moto X General] JGoldz75:
Pretty misleading thread title. This is just a 4.4.2 rooted Safestrap ROM, not a root method for current 4.4.2 users.
[Moto X General] ccoulterjg1:
I was disappointed to learn this wasn't a root method and rather just a safestrap rom that I was already aware of. I would suggest changing the thread title or removing the thread altogether.
[Moto X General] flacco40:
I guarantee all you guys with this negativity either have an unlocked bootloader or aren't even on Verizon, the title is as is because this is the only way so far to have 4.4.2 with root and WP off Stock OTA working and stable as of right now. If you had a locked VZW you would be happy no matter the title, all u guys that got it made are irrelevant to this thread and stay off... I will change the title upon XDA requesting it...Not everyone has DE motos like y'all..One thing though mine is customized with the colors I like and chose, from the body to the buttons and camera ring I even have a slogan on the back and Im on VZW unlimited everything with tethering! I use about 13 gigs of LTE a month..So beautiful...I'm not stuck with that ugly black front and white back with silver buttons..What is that??? Pshhh... It's alright though its not your fault blame Motorola.

PS you guys with those ugly Motos kill me with your reveal or clear cases...your back is WHITE! BRO...lol you don't got it like us Moto Maker fellas stop it!! No swag
[Moto X General] JGoldz75:
I'm actually a locked bootloader verizon variant. Still think this thread is dumb.
[Moto X General] kwyrt:
Not sure where the hostility is coming from. Thread title seems pretty straightforward to me. The RootzWiki thread flacco40 linked to allows those people on non-dev Moto Xs still running 4.2.2 or 4.4 to update to 4.4.2, without updating the bootloader, thereby retaining root and the ability to keep write protection disabled. I used it myself to allow my motomaker phone to run the newest 4.4.2 version of Eclipse ROM.
[Moto X General] cascade128:
Not working on XT1058, because not flashing kernel:crying:

But Eclipse rom v3.1.2 working on XT1058

WHY???:confused:
[Moto X General] iKrYpToNiTe:
No offense but this is why I didn't post the ROM here because of questions like this, but I will explain it to you now that I have enough posts to reply!

First reason why it doesn't work for you is the thread title says VZW only that means XT1060 not XT1058. Second reason is Eclipse v3.1.2 is 4.4 base, not 4.4.2 like the thread title says, Eclipse v3.2+ is 4.4.2.

I will be making a version for the XT1058 once the sbf is released and a tester confirms it works.
[Moto X General] flacco40:
I stand corrected, I originally titled it wrong which even that title was not saying that you can OTA to 4.4.2 then root, on the contrary I've always been saying that you should not take the ota, but I did word it incorrectly but fixed it. Although this thread is in RootzWiki no one bothered to post it on this website and I did trying to help and people started bashing me. Lol
[Moto X General] anotherfiz:
The part that sucks is OP made a post on XDA with zero original content, referencing someone elses post on Rootzwiki who specifically asked it not be posted here. TLDR, OP is trying to gain credit for zero work. Thanks for making a thread linking to someone elses work and passing it off as your own, OP.
[Moto X General] iKrYpToNiTe:
Nah man the OP did what I asked on rootzwiki and that was to link them to that thread. Makes it easier to manage problems that arise, and I didn't have enough post until today to post in this section.
[Moto X General] mercado79:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norkle:
Have been holding back on ROM'ing my N7105T because there didn't seem to be much information on it, but plenty of stories of bricking them for all sorts of reasons. However the pending arrival of a USB DAC meant I wanted to make sure I had options with my Note II.

Can anyone help me understand the issues with IMEI and EFS. Specifically, what should I have a backup of? I've successfully made a backup with QPST (note: avoid ROM's that don't include the standard dialer or a broken keyboard, or blame tyler), and due to problems with ROM's correctly detecting my N7105T, have even performed restores.

So does QPST backup EFS as well as IMEI? Is it all I need?

Also, I've seen references with EFS v2/3. Any pointers to more info as it applies to Note II/N7105T

Thanks, Richard.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrox:
Hi all!

I'm new to this forum, and i'm not an android expert.

My phone is a NGM Legend2 which is a clone of the Gionee GN868, which is a clone of Blu Vivo 4.3.

I've found a custom rom of android 4.2.2 for the Blu Vivo 4.3, so i'm trying to flash this rom into my phone.

I had to change the boot.img file with the one from my stock rom and also the updater-script because the partitions of the internal memory are differently located and so the system partition and the user data partition are mounted in different positions compared to the Blu Vivo's ones.

After these changes the phone boots up, but there are few bugs.

The biggest of these bugs is that i can't install ANY app in my phone! Because Play Store gives me error 110, and if i try to install an apk it simply says "App not installed". I think that in a certain way it tries to install the apps to the same wrong data partition that i changed in updater-script.

So, my question is:

Is there any file in the rom that tells to the system where are located the memory partitions? If really exists something like that, is it possible to change it??

Thanks! I hope somebody can help me! :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
have you gotten 4g to work with your at&t sim? the bands are both the same so just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
I haven't even tried. I may look into that a bit more and see what I can find. I tried a few different listed APN's, but to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Cool thanks. I would definitely appreciate it. My friend is looking at switching so I'm trying to help him out. I think I may have read somewhere that the 4g capability was dependent on the sim card number.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I'm told in my area that the Straight Talk service uses Verizon towers. Does that sound plausible? If so, I imagine the switch over would even be less of a hassle :fingers-crossed: $70 a month savings sure sounds tempting as my contract runs out this fall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
It doesn't look like ST has 4G in my area, so I can't really help out with that other than just making wild guesses and such which wouldn't really be any help to anyone. Sorry.

I believe they do, but it's all really dependent on phone model and area. You won't be able to use an S4 on a Verizon tower through ST. You would need to have ATT or TM service in that area to support the GSM for the Galaxy S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chriskader:
Verizon S4 will not work on ATT LTE, but will work on 3G. This is due to different LTE bands. As far as ST using Verizon, the older CDMA ST phones use verizon. ST is moving towards GSM hkwever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
I just moved to ST, I am getting Hspa+ speeds most places. I will take that for $45 a month compared to $80+ :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
I hear ya! Now if only I could figure out how to remove the + from in front of phone numbers...

Figured it out! Edited OP, info can be found at the bottom of the post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
So your on att sim or Verizon ,I'd be interested in Verizon st anybody got any ways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
if you use the straight talk or net10 tmobile sim card in your phone you will get 4g LTE with the att sim its just h+ I was getting around 15mb a sec download speed with the tmobile net10 sim card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
When you order a SIM card from ST you have two options to choose from, the AT&T based version or the TM based version. Both are ST SIMS, they just run on different networks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
Yes, I am on the ATT based Sim, all is working for me, but receiving MMS....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
MMS fixed, using hangouts as default SMS/mms :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
So is there a way to use Verizon towers on st?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
Strange, I haven't had any issues with MMS. What APN are you using?

Update: I actually had this happen to me the first time I renewed my monthly plan with ST. Just have to call and have them restart your plan to fix the issue. I used to work for Virgin Mobile and knew exactly what the issue was but it still took the ST guy about ten minutes before he grabbed a supervisor and they confirmed it.

This is assuming it worked in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
It would be phone dependent, if you are using a ST phone it would need to be one that has the letter "c" at the end of model number. I do not believe you can use VZW towers with a BYOP SIM, but I could be wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
Set Port to 80 and you should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
Thanks, I will try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
Wow, I thought I would not get LTE, but driving through a couple of states yesterday, I noticed I get LTE in different markets.....

4g lte works

I recently put my st sim into my i545 and i saw the 4g lte icon popup i ran speedtest and got 10 mbps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
I will sometimes get close to 10 mbps on H+ and about 15 mbps on lte. I think ATT's lte is slower than the VZW equivalent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphastorm1:
I have searched all over. Thankgod for this thread! I am going to walmart and buying that sim tomorrow. Do I need to cancel my verizon account first? I hope my model number SCHI545ZWV will work. Wish me luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Let us know what you do and if it will be on Verizon or att towers I'm also looking to switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphastorm1:
I bought the activation kit today. I filled out the registration/activation. I am now waiting for them to port my number over. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Big Big thanks to the OP. Everything is working. I am getting H+ connection. Ping 171, Download 1.29, Upload 0.47. The only problem I had was that ST didn't port my number for me when I filled out all the info online. I had to call and give them info about my old account to get my number ported from Verizon. I am now so happy I am no longer paying $80 per month. $45 is almost half off. Good riddance to Verizon. Now my next task is to root my phone so I can get rid of all the verizon bloat ware. The OP is right, you'll get a +1 in front of your calls from contacts. I don't understand why that is but for now, I'm just coping and pasting to make calls.

I also want to reiterate that ST's site tells you this phone is incompatible. You can call them and they will tell you the same. Just follow the OP instructions and it should work. Thanks again to the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apeman81:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphastorm1:
Update

This is day 3 after getting it to work on Straight talk.

I decided to root my device. I have done rooting in the past so it's pretty easy. I went here and followed the instructions for Galaxy S4 Root on android 4.3 MJ7 and MK2 http://youtu.be/uii_mYm8IGE. Make sure you have 4.3 and MJ7 or MK2 build. If not, go look thru the next link.

The guide to all other types of rooting is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2337590

After rooting, I downloaded an app called ROM Toolbox Lite. You need root access to run it. Basically, it's a toolbox with tons of options. I mostly got it to remove bloatware. You can find this app in the google play store. Open the app, then goto app manager. Then I proceeded to delete about 30% of the Verizon junk that was originally installed. The OP chose to install a new ROM. That is an option if you don't like the stock ROM. If you did that, it will essentially remove the bloatware as well. That is up to you. I'm still messing around with it but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The_Gatekeeper_:
I did the transfer and it worked perfectly as well. I was concerned since the site was telling me my phone wasn't compatible on the byop page but ended up just throwing the sim card in there and activating it (as well as inputting that information on the first page and setting the phone up to receive gsm signal, which I think is awesome in itself!). It was cool for the month but I ended up reactivating my verizon plan since I have unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
do safestrap and install hyperdrive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphastorm1:
Unless things have changed, you will lose unlimited data if you sign a new contract or get a new phone. That is one of the reasons I switched. They forced me into getting their 6GB data plan when I bought the S4.

Not a fan of Hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
So I went on straightalk.com and went under byop and this message appeared after I entered my imei number and zip code : Your phone is eligible for the Bring Your Own Phone program but unfortunately Straight Talk does not offer service for your phone in the ZIP Code entered (#####). Please enter a different ZIP Code." Does that mean that my phone won't have service ?:/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
My pleasure, somewhere in there is info on an App I found that auto removes the + sign on the numbers for you.

Your best bet is to check the coverage map for ST and see if you are in a covered area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
The map says I have coverage plus my parents have straight talk and it work amazing the thing is we have mostly Verizon towers rather than at&t and T-Mobile so idk if that effects it or will it work fine even tho it says that my zip code has no coverage when my parents have galaxy centuras under straight talk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
Yea, I don't know about that one then. I think the only available SIM cards are for ATT and TM, which I am guessing would not work on a VZW tower unless it's alloted, but I have no idea how to check that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I called there support and both them and Walmart said I would be on Verizon based on my area( north of Houston).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
so are you saying an at&t sim would work ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, an AT&T SIM will work in the Verizon phone, but it won't give you Straight Talk access. If you want to use ST, you'll need one of their SIMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
I'm sorry thats what i meant, but i just dont want to waste 60 dollars to find out it doesnt work because it says my zip code wont work :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
From everything I have seen it depends on the sim you get and your area as to what towers you will be on most people go for att and it seems fine but in my area Verizon is the only one who gets the service I need at work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
well after talking with straight talk online chat i find out that apparently my phone isn't eligible , well i told her that the online site said the phone was but the zip code wasn't she said she wasn't provided with that information and my phone wouldn't work on straight talk -.-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yeah.

Try calling again. Your phone works for Straight Talk for other people, so it should work for you as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
i did but i can't get the answer i am looking for, none of them tell me if the zip code works they ignore the fact that the website says the phone is eligible but not under the zip code , does anyone know what sim works for the galaxy s4 sch 1545? can anyone provide a link please and thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I was just about to link you to this thread. :) This thread shows that Straight Talk SIMs work on the i545. There's no doubt that it'd work in your phone. However, the next question is what kind of service is available in your area? If there's no LTE or GSM, and only CDMA, then you won't have service. Or, perhaps it's a band mismatch?

Have you tried looking at what phones ARE listed as working in your ZIP code? That will allow you to match up radio types and bands against the i545 specifications and tell you if it's likely to work or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheTechnicalBoss:
We do have LTE and GSM my zip codes 68701
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphastorm1:
Here is what I used. If you read my post you will know that I've stated ST will tell you the phone isn't compatible. That is one reason this thread is created to tell you it does work. I wouldn't believe them about your coverage either. Best thing to do is try it out. Unless you live in some remote location, it's probably going to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jivetrky:
I'm planning on getting a ST kit for my VZW s4 (But my bootloader is LOKI'd but not Unlocked(right?)) so I'm wondering if I'll be able to do this?

Also, I don't currently have VZW service so I wouldn't be able to port over a number, would just be starting fresh. (My phone line was shut off for non-payment and I'm not able to afford the crazy bill right now, so I was hoping to use ST for a month or two until I'm able to pay VZW)
