Where are my manners, welcome to the forum.

You may want to read up about the process and also the repercussions of rooting. Have you ever Jailbroken an iPhone? Well rooting is the same thing for Android. It will give you access to the root filesystem and will allow you to edit system files to do stuff like, disable the splash screen on boot among other things. If this is all new to you your in for quite a read.

One thing about rooting the Note 3 is it will trip knox, which in turn will void your warranty. You may be lucky and have a model which can be rooted using RDLV, a method which doesn't trip knox and thus preserves your warranty. Knox is a fairly new thing from Samsung, which is designed to provide "advanced data and privacy protection". It is irreversible(at this point in time) and so you will have to weigh up what is more important, root or warranty.

Here's a link if your still interested. I'll repeat, this method will void your warranty!!!: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466423

[LG Optimus G Pro] m7svk:
Good Morning,

after nearly two years with reliable razr maxx, I decide to try on lg g pro e988, I bought one from ebay, had new screen done, and phone is in pristine condition, but looks like none of the sensors is working - for auto brightness or autorotation, maybe even some more, could be due software problem or hardware, any advice welcome...
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamsacti:
Have you activate Rotation on notification bar? For auto brightness, have you installed SIM card? When there is no SIM Card installed, auto brightness won't work. It will come back to 100% brightness.
[LG Optimus G Pro] m7svk:
Yes, I activate rotation, and sim card was in, but no rotation, and when I tried to calibrate sensor, doesn't let me do it, just pop up window saying, calibration not possible, nad I had phone on flat surface, still thanks for advice.
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamsacti:
Hmm, that's wierd. I never calibrate my phone, but when i tried, it calibrate just fine. When you bought it from eBay, is it a brand new device or second handed? If it was new device, maybe it faulty device. Send it to LG repair service. Sorry can't help you.:(

I just finished updating this for Kit Kat, so I figured I'd post it now that there are a few ways of getting 4.4 on our Verizon S4's.

It's your typical "enable multi-window for any app" app with a few extra bells and whistles for the donate version. I don't really like mods that enable every single app because it gets messy and lags the tray out pretty bad, so I made this to let you pick and choose which ones to enable. This is still a WIP, so feel free to give suggestions / bug reports.

Create shortcuts to launch 2 apps in windowed mode at the same time

Create shortcuts to launch any app in windowed mode...the point of this being that it allows you to use 3rd party side bar launchers such as GloveBox, SwipePad, etc. in place of the stock flashbar

Launch 2 instances of the same app...some apps don't work. most browsers don't (4.4 samsung browser does by default)

Backup/Restore your enabled apps list

Auto enable newly installed apps

Inverted (Black) flashbar theme

Remove icon labels from the flashbar

Get it in the Play Store

Dear Friends,

I bricked my Galaxy W. Here is the bricking procedure.

- I reset my phone with original loader and converted into original factory state.

- Than with this clean phone, I rooted it by help of this guide

It was successful. Thanks for that guide.

- Than from google play, I loaded terminal emulator and tried to load recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-ancora

- Rebooted my phone and surprise: My phone is dead.

What I get:

- My phone is completely unbootable.

- No key combination is working

- Completely blank screen without any indication.

- But my PC recognizes my phone as QHSUSB_DLOAD

It seems that Qualcomm High Speed USB driver fits this thing and shows COM5.

- But ODIN does not see anything.

What I need:

- HELP!

Thanks

I can not see anything in my phone screen, therefore I can't be sure. But since I can not see any action in PC too I may say; I'm not able to go to download mode.

(I'm not expert on this subject, I always have doubt what I talked about, sorry for that)

However as I say in my first message Qualcomm High Speed driver is always in charge as the phone plugged.

The only way you can get back from this situation that is you have to enter download mode and flash stock firmware. Your issue will be resolved after that. Make sure you installed Samsung USB drivers into your pc. If this doesn't help then you may contact service center.

Donate me if you can :cool:

Solved by JTAG

Dear friends,

I have tried all the procedures without touching phone PCB. Non of them worked.

I have decided to apply JTAG procedure. Actually this procedure is a little bit complicated for me. I have found a guy making this. And in a very short time, my phone returned back to life.

Now it is working with a Cyanogenmod release (based on Android 4.2.2.)

I have some issues but anyway, my phone is working now with better system performance.

JTAG saved my phone.

QPST Version Build 411

Procedure looks similar to this:

In this Thread I have tried many things...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52808706&postcount=282

I could prepare files for testing for I8150...

Not tested by me nor confirmed with I8150... as only S8600 for me available...

If someony want test... PM me.

Next few hours or days I could upload files for QPST...

MBR from I8150
DBL from I8150
OSBL from I8150

Need testers and feedback please.

Best Regards
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] adfree:
Will check my HD for Qualcomm drivers...

Maybe upload later...

Here are test files... because untested...

Risk to reach other bad status... So you could need JTAG...

Short description...

DBL and OSBL are taken from JTAG dump...

It seems chinese Version could be different...

But MBR... first 512 Bytes are 1:1 same in all I8150 JTAG dumps I have on my HD...

partition.mbn is MBR from I8150... 512 Byte

DBL and OSBL have size from partition... extracted from JTAG dump...

DBL is in partition 2

OSBL in partition 3...

Settings for QPST are hopefully visible in Screenshot...

It is mandatory to use QPST Build 411... older Versions not accept MBR as partition.mbn without header...

Header in MBR not deadly but could be bring other trouble...

For testing now only correct drivers "missing"... :o

I have so many stuff downloaded...

Will try to find correct one. :D

Again, I have only S8600 for test...

Maybe with I8150 not possible...

But before you buy JTAG you can try. ;)

Good luck.

Best Regards

Edit 1.

Qualcomm driver to find should be not impossible... use magic search word: QHSUSB_DLOAD... for instance here:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilesh.david:
Hello everybody,

Greeting!

I've got Samsung S4 SSGH I337 bricked. I was on 4.2.2 until I was curious to get the 4.4 update. However, after reading on the forums it said you cannot upgrade to 4.4 directly (Except OTA which I never got). You first need to upgrade to 4.3 and then upgrade to 4.4 using the update patch. All went successfully until I though 4.4 seem no good to me as the root method was not available and I personally didn't find 4.4 to be much different than 4.2.2.

I tried to downgrade, without knowing a thing about Knox, by updating a ATT Stock Root MF3.zip update. It went through but with some errors, which I don't remember. I was still with the same 4.4 as the update was a waste.

I then tried to downgrade to 4.2.2 flashing the I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar with Odin. This never worked and I bricked my phone. The phone is not unable to boot and comes up with a screen - Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

Kies doesn't recognize the device. It just keep saying "Connecting". I later learnt that it's the Knox Bootloader that is not downgrade able. I tried flashing the leaked 4.4 firmware for SGH I337 to no luck.

Please help!

Thanks a ton in advance!

Uh Oh

What was the fix? I just did the same thing you did and am not sure now to fix it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lautunno:
I dropped my Universal yesterday. My fault. True.

And now it thinks there is always the headset in, so it's stuck and I can't answer the calls using the phone microphone, just bluetooth. And I can't hear the sms alert.

Again, my fault.

BUT it was already faulty, I had to put something in-out the heasdset hole because the sensor didn't work very well (it's a well known problem).

I should change the mother board, now, and I don't want to spend so much money. :evil:

Also because it happened to me to put the Universal in my pocket and... surprise, the screen was broken (substitution: round 150 Euro). Then I bought also a leather case to avoid this problem in the future.

I used to have a Sony UX50 (unfortunately NOT the Vaio UX50, same name, but it was Palm, not Windows XP) and I kept it with no prob in my pockets, and it fell down several times, surviving!

I'm not saying it should be unbreakable, of course, but my opinion is that a mobile device should be more robust. :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Mate its all a matter of luck really. Im sure theres users on here like me who keep it in there pocket, who have knocked it around, and who have had some spills with it and theres still works fine. Well mine does. You people though who put them in your pocket and break the scrrens, id love to know what you are doing to have such an impact come down on your leg you break the screen.

Either that or your extraordinarily uncoordinated and walking into poles all day....in any case yours should be more durable, but you got unlucky unfortuntely.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
This reminded of two anecdotes.

1) You're right, the sensor doens't work well. On my way to work the headphone jack slipped a quarter of a millimetre while I was listening to hardcore gangsta rap. You should have seen my face rushing for my pocket, desperatly trying to figure out what was happening. Even more shocked where the train passenger, having to listen to the Universal full blast :-D

2) I wouldn't call the the Universal flimsy, but it definitely doens't seem like the kind of device that could handle shocks well. I had 6 nokias and 3 motorolas before, and all 3 motos died (I'm rough with my devices :D). The nokias where dropped off buildings and slammed against walls (don't ask) yet kept on soldiering. I would dare to subject the universal to the same treatment.

:lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lautunno:
:lol:

I decided to send my babe to Germany, where it came from, trying to resolve the problem.

In the meanwhile, I ordered the Nokia E61, by far an interesting smartphone (and, as you mentioned, Nokia phones are robust!).

My first Nokia, really amazing: wifi, bluetooth, 3g, latest symbian operating system.

If the Universal returns home, maybe I'll keep the Nokia as really "mobile" solution (that is in my pocket) and the Universal for business (taking notes, extensively browsing the web...)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
Nokias, robust?

You obviously never had an 8210 lol

My wife and I really liked these phones when they came out so we had one each. We got through on average one a month. As I may have mentioned elsewhere in this forum, my wife doesn't do technology very well, walking into poles, dropping phones in toilets, coffee, beer, and other assorted disasters. I'm very careful with mine yet these 8210s seemed to be made of rice paper.

I'm now on my second HTC unit and the construction seems adequate, but not great. The hinge will be the first thing to go on my Uni, but that won't be because I'm rough with it, it just seems to be a weak point.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ehabh:
JasJar Universal screen broke for no apparent reason.

My JasJar was on a hotel bed. On moment I was playing with it. Put it down. Picked it up in a few minutes and the screen was broken and leaking liquid internally.

In this same hotel My little girl previously pissed on a imate PDA2.

Bad luck places aside. I had nokias 9X00 series the calm shell pda type. Those are much stronger than most HTC stuff.

I mean I paid lots and I mean lots of money for the JasJar, really as far as I know it is THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOBILE WITHOUT REAL DIAMONDS IN IT. And we get a flimsy case. The cover of the LCD is very weak. Very.

Take care of your HTCs.

Really HTC the next JasJar should be stronger and have more ram. Hello, we are buying the most geeky phone, a little more ram will really help. Wimps may be able to live on less ram but someone who buys jasjar would not.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
Just shows how different people can have different experiences. :) I still have an 8210 and it's by far the toughest phone I've ever had. (admittedly I've got it in a G-shock type cover I found online, but that's been soaked, thrown about, crashed on a motorcycle etc etc and still works fine. :) (Admittedly it's the 2nd one I had - the screen became faulty on the first).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
the good ol 8210s I had mine for so long, actually I had mine for about 1.5 years but then my mum had it for over 3 years. So 4.5yrs out of the one phone and during that time it had been pounded and dropped a hundred dozen times.

Such tiny phones, simple phones. The old days hey.

memories.... :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Most solid ever would have been my nokia 3310. That thing was shaped like a brick but was also solid as a brick. I dropped it hundreds of time, one time it even went completly under a car! I also threw it away as hard as I could against a wall (I get mad sometimes :evil: ). Well, short of a few cracks in the cover, that phone still works today.

It doesn't resist water though, a friend of mine swam with his ( :lol: ) and the poor thing worked for like a few hours then stopped.

I recently purchased a HTC One and it's T-Mobile branded, so I wanna Root my phone to get updates faster and be able to run apps with Airplay and stuff.

The problem I (and many other Mavericks users) have is with the Android File Transfer software.

I can install and rut it, but it won't recognize my HTC One. It keeps giving the same message about how I need

to connect my HTC One.

There are workarounds to acces the files (like connecting via WiFi through an IP-address or use the HTC software), but I think it's not possible to root the phone without direct acces to the files as with AFT, or is it?

I wanna make sure I can run the script before I brick my phone.

Can any of you guys confirm I can run the script without AFT?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Getting the android file transfer program to run and getting the adb/fastboot/androidSDK set up are different issues.

By far, the latter is more important. You simply can't root without it. If adb is working you can use the commands adb push or adb pull to move files on and off the device.

If you really feel like you need the android file transfer app, read http://trjlive.com/2013/10/guide-android-file-transfer-mac-osx-mavericks/ for an explanation of the problem and a possible workaround.
