[General Questions and Answers] Corny007:
I'm not sure how, but I'm up and dialing.

Sorry I didn't get back here. I have an update. Corny007 1, Samsung Galaxy S3 0. I won :highfive: The first time I installed cyanogen I did it with the installer, and like I said, the blocks weren't read. Not sure how or why yet as I'm just starting out, but I did about 2 or 3 days research, kept hitting dead ends, so I decided just to go back and use the installer again. For some reason, and I still have no idea why, as I mentioned my IMEI data would not restore. This time, it did, no backing up required. I do have them just in case, except I never went through the trouble to get them onto my Ext/SD, and I couldn't figure out how to work around version mismatches after Philz was overwritten. I could have installed the SDK, and took a couple more days probably to get it that way, but for some reason, that I still don't know, maybe it was a bugfix between last time and this, not sure. Bottom line is I am modded, and calling. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll hit the thanks button too. By the way, I never answered your question. I did look where you recommended. It just seemed like I was the one exeption to everything I found. EFS Pro for example couldn't make the .tar file, just little headaches like that. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] SurrealDelight:
I recently just got a brand new ATT Galaxy Note 8.0 from ATT, but I was wondering if there was a way to root the tablet and/or put cyanogenmod or just stock Jellybean on it. This tablet is really awesome, but I can't really stand TouchWIZ and the bloatware that comes with it.

Rooting instructions are here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2430540

As for a custom rom this is not possible at this time on the ATT variant.. it has a locked boot loader and most of the developers did not spend the money to get the ATT version .. also my ATT business rep informed me its EOL so.. in otherwords.. enjoy your paperweight or take it back and demand a refund.

Below are two methods that allow you to gain root access on the AT&T Galaxy Note 8.0. They do not install custom recoveries, which you would need to install any custom ROM.

The first method looks a lot easier! Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
I second on saferoot.zip.

You can't go wrong and all you need to do is make sure you have enabled USB Debugging on the device, and have installed Kies or Samsung USB drivers on the laptop or computer.

I recommend Xposed framework and modules for some customization, boot animations can be done to stock ROM but must be done manually, and Premium Wallpaper HD. RootCloak Plus app and Substrate app, don't use the Xposed version. sqlite Database Editor works the best of what I have found, for some database editing. Though it does not add new rows. I changed some added rows by some apps to allow forcing of new data, though it required updating the settings through the app to apply the missing data row that I changed. Example, I moved row 96 to 128 and changed all the data. So the app will insert missing row 96 with its data. I also recommend 360 Security, as it has some features that will keep your device tip top without having to add additional apps.

Any idea how to do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Download flashify from play store and use it. It will let you download and flash either recovery. There's a variety of other apps and ways as well. In all honesty though, if you're using the latest version of twrp then you shouldn't have a problem flashing if you're trying the appropriate roms for your phone.

I have a maxx and I believe they are done with updating this phone due to being bought out by lenova. Anybody know any news on this...
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigv5150:
Really did you just ask this question? We will get 4.4.2 and even the next update our phones are 6 months old hell moto is updating the RAZR and M how old are they. I so tired of all the negativity against lenova and stupid posts like this one. Fear mongering that all this post is about. Unless you have something of probative value on this subject do me a favor and keep your ? To yourself.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
The Lenovo deal is not finalized yet. Google still owns Motorola.

Why would Lenovo not want to update the phone? Also, Motorola is still rolling out updates to the X, after the Lenovo deal was announced. The Lenovo deal was negotiated late last year, and updates still continue. Motorola just announced a new watch that was developed before the deal. Frankly, I don't think anything is going to change.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summersett:
Lenovo is going to want to start out by keeping their active customer base happy... The first thing they don't want to do is piss off everyone they just acquired. I'm certain Motorola will roll out 4.4.2 before Lenovo takes over. Lenovo should keep updates coming at least until they have their own line of superior phones.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang02:
A buyout like this isn't over night. Can take a couple of years to finalize.

Why does everyone care about updates so much?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AreOh:
Wasn't there talks from Google about phones will only receive updates until they are 1.5/2 years old? Or do I have the times wrong.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Kinda but you have it backwards. It was that they WILL received updates for 18 months but that has never really been a firm thing and it's still up to providers. This doesn't mean they will stop receiving updates after that 18 months though. Motorola has shown a willingness to update timely and I have no doubt that will continue. I'm sure the hold up is playing the Verizon game.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecsironman:
From what I understand its not really Motorola that holds the updates. Its Verizon they receive the update for said phones and they add their little programs and secret squirrel crap to the update before the consumer receives it.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragon31337:
So since there is no root for 4.4 without bootloader unlock there is no much sense for VZW to push 4.4.2 =)

Yeah but you gained root on 4.2.2 then took the update. Run an fxz and your root is bye bye because you can't root 4.4

So did I. But portion these people is small too =) All new phones comes with 4.4, problem solved. Most people got updated first and then checked for root options.

Look at there android tablets. I havent seen anything of updates on them in a while.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkswind1:
It's going to be a while for 4.4.2. David Schuster just said on his g+ page " I understand your frustration, we are also frustrated. We have been working to get you this upgrade as quickly as we can but there have been some unforeseen delays with requirement changes. We are actively working on getting you this update.﻿"

In other words Verizon is insisting on more ways to make your phone theirs.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radzer0:
All they have to say is NO. But they won't. The Droid line Motorola has made for years any other provider would take if they could get it. TMZ started with these crazy loud videos playing that you couldn't pause or turn off the volume about a year back. With Android 4.4 Google said NO and now the app crashes each time it try to open with a video ad.

If Samsung, HTC, and Motorola got together and stopped letting Verizon screw up there software with extra crap it would all be fine. Apple said NO.. Guess what.. They still sell the iPhone.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Motorola is contracted by Verizon to make the droid branded phones for them. This isn't like the X, or the HTC one, or the samsung galaxy or note phones, or the lg phones - Verizon hired Motorola to make the droids, rather than Motorola coming to Verizon with a phone to sell. Moto has no choice but to follow Verizon's specifications. They can't say no, and they definitely can't update the phone without Verizon's approval.

The iPhone is completely different. The carriers are begging apple to sell the phone, rather than the other way around. Apple has power in that sort of relationship that no other phone OEM has, and probably will have for a long time, if ever.

David schuster said the fix would take "a number of weeks". So, by the end of May? Is that really that long a time?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I definitely don't want red, but I'm only using 8 GB on my phone (and a lot of that are photos that are already uploaded and could be deleted if I was ever unlazy enough to do so, though most of it are podcasts that I'll eventually listen to.) So, if my phone is lost or stolen, I'll be happy to pay $500 for a new one with half the storage.

But, why this storage choice couldn't have been an option from the start - at least for online sales - I still don't get that.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
Because these aren't brand new devices, almost guaranteed: they're returns that had some issues for whatever reason (bad/faulty Flash-memory would be my guess, cracked screens, dead components, damaged cases/bodies, damaged microUSB ports, etc) that were sent back to the factory and either had the bad modules removed or replaced outright and are now being resold as "new" devices with reduced storage capacity so Verizon/Motorola save some money but still make some at the same time.

Offering the colors is nothing but a gimmick at this point, almost a year after the devices were introduced, and designed to spur sales of these lower cost remanufactured devices - no I don't have any verifiable proof they're remanufactured but based on my own experience working in the consumer electronics issue I can say with almost absolute certainty that's exactly what Verizon is doing with these "new" versions.

It's a lame practice (and Verizon is far from being alone in this), but it's better than having a warehouse full of returned devices (which Verizon has quite a few of based on conversations with friends that are either Verizon retail store managers or CSRs at said stores).

Hello all, im having some trouble finding a suitable template to create a cyanogenmod/aokp theme for our G2's

Im trying to create a cm 11 / aokp kit kat theme, but i cannot find any suitable tutorials on how to create a 4.4.2 based theme.

So basically im trying to create a cm 11 theme for my G2 (ls980) but i cannot find anywhere to start, i cannot find a SystemUi.apk in the cyanogenmod 4.4.2 base. ive searched in system/app in cyanogenmod 11 but i cannot find the default system theme to modify. Is it relocated or renamed somewhere else?

Does anyone know where i can find the default theme or find a kit kat based theme template? ive done alot of googling but cannot find any leads.

Note: i know how to decompile and recompile Apks. All im asking is if anyone can point me into the right direction of creating a cm11 theme for my Sprint G2.

Thanks for any information you can give me

I just installed TWRP on my N4 and have never used it before. I always used CWM and I just wiped it through recovery. My issue is that I wiped EVERYTHING. It says "no OS detected" and won't boot past the Google logo. Can't install drivers when connected to the computer, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash a stock image, or fix it with the nexus root toolkit. Could someone PLEASE give me a walkthrough for a noob of how to go about fixing this? I don't understand a lot that deals with ADB and all that. Thank you.

Do I she the factory image it originally had which was 4.2.2 or do I use the image I updated to which was 4.3? Don't know if it matters, but I've never done this so I don't want to make anything worse.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
If you don't understand, this time right now seems a good reason to learn about it right? ;)

As to you problem, can you boot into recovery..the twrp? If yes, then it is easy. Just sideload a rom (preferably a 4.2.2 rom as it was the last rom on your device). Oh and yeah, sideload does use a bit of adb command (see how important it is for us, the nexus user?).

The other way is to simply use toolkits (which is a shortcut, not good as you will learn nothing of the whole process and it just takes all the fun away). Look in original android dev section for wugfresh toolkits (but I really, really, really hope that you learn ADB. After all, we need to learn to count before we start using a calculator right? ;) ). Good luck. Don't sweat it so much.

p/s: That video there can be used for any android version and any rom of nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinndissension:
Sounds easy enough. My only issue has been that I couldn't install any drivers. I can boot into twrp, but that's it. Any guide I've researched says to turn on USB debugging, which I can't figure out how to do since it won't boot past the Google logo, and the drivers won't install correctly when I connect the nexus to a computer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Use wugfresh nexus root tool kit to flash a stock rom.

USB debugging is not required to flash a stock ROM via fastboot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniAndroidian:
The easiest in my opinion would be sideloading a new rom, like cm11, paranoidandroid etc. Then you could easily install it on your n4 :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinndissension:
FIXED IT!!! thank you all for your help.

For anyone else with this problem, I downloaded "universal naked drivers" and installed them manually, use the Nexus Root Toolkit selected "soft brick, than flash stock/unroot, let it download RETORT and the modified boot image, flash it in fast-food, then when it booted up, re-rooted. (You lose root access when you do this).

I have an S3 that displays this message when I insert my SIM card: PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM#6

Before any one starts jumping to conclusions, please hear me out.

Did I do an IMEI check? YES...I called AT&T and met with the seller at an At&t store. The seller was the original owner. I even inserted my SIM card in the store. Since I never seen this ERROR before, I figured I could just downgrade the phone like I always have.

What Android Version? The phone is currently on 4.3. Now that I'm home and spent the last few hours doing research. I now know the phone can not be downgraded. UNLESS someone knows otherwise.

Since the phone has not been reported stolen, and current downgrading methods are not available. How can I get around this ERROR?

Could it be it not NETWORK UNLOCKED?

Does the phone show the same imei # as the label located in the battery compartment when you dial *#06#?

You are correct, you cannot downgrade the bootloader, only the ROM; therefore, the free unlock method will not work. You'll have to buy an unlock code. To unlock it using a code, make sure you're running a stock ROM.
