(preserved for the sake of historical context, but hidden since it's unlikely to be of interest to you if you just want the solution to your problem)

Uh oh... lots of views, no replies. Now I'm getting scared.

Just to prove I've been doing my homework, and I'm still overwhelmed, someone please correct me if I'm totally off-base so far with the conclusions I've come to from reading a few thousand pages of threads over the past two days:

* Any 4.3+ ROM based on Samsung's stock is automatically going to require a Knox bootloader.

* Cyanogen requires a Knox bootloader.

* Every OTHER non-Touchwiz ROM for the S3 ultimately builds upon Cyanogen, and was therefore recursively infected by its need for Knox.

Does that sound about right so far?

Now... what I've learned about bootloaders:

* MJ2 is the last non-evil bootloader. Or at least, the last bootloader that wasn't openly evil, and known to be evil right from the start. IS MJ2 truly non-evil?

* You can use MJ2 with a newer radio modem

Still unknown:

* How far can I go with a MJ2 bootloader without permanently rendering the phone unable to EVER create or run a Knox container after reflashing to a "trusted" bootloader/rom at some point in the future?

* What are the consequences and limits imposed by refusing to install a newer bootloader?

* Is there a S4-like "safe root" method that Knox will knowingly pretend to not see, and refrain from blowing the fuse as long as it doesn't catch me trying to create/launch a secure Knox container on a (newly) rooted ROM?

* Can you go a step further and flash a new rom without blowing the fuse, as long as the bootloader itself is untampered-with? How about a kernel?

If there are ROMs (especially 4.3+) that are "KnoxFuse-safe", are they tagged in any particular way to make them stand out from the others? I'm not averse to reading, but some of them have literally a thousand pages of comments. If I try to comb through them one by one, I'm going to be researching this for another 5 weeks... 5 weeks I don't have. My phone is unusable right now. I can't even boot into Android without having it tell me that it's going to forcibly reboot and upgrade in 5 seconds (unless I yank the battery out), and I have a hunch that by tomorrow, it's not even going to give me THAT courtesy anymore. As badly as I hate to admit it, I'm drowning right now trying to come to a coherent understanding of Knox right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Sure. You could manually install the (modified) root and no-knox version of the 4.3 (MJ2) now with the MJB modem and you would have (full) 4.3 functionality without the kind and loving attentions of Knox. The download link can be found below ...

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996968760

If you change your mind at a latter date and decide to go complete stock 4.3 you could always use the procedure outlined in the following thread to restore. This will not only restore to complete stock including system, bootloader, kernel, recovery et al. It will also reset your flash counter to zero.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2658486

Before installing even the modified ROM, however, I would suggest you use the free unlock functionality of the older ROMs. Some users have claimed the modified ROM uses a different and downgradeable bootloader but I'm not too sure of this

Hello,

I have am I-mate jamin with (i guess) the first ROM released (1.09.25).

When i received a call, and specially with more feminist voice, the sound have a noise, something like "ztztztztz". More or less like dust or piece of sand in a car speaker.

Do you have experience that ?

With a ROM update this will be fixed ?

Thanks in advance

Many regards
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bs450:
possible speaker problem

Have you tried with a wired or blue tooth earpiece? If the problem goes away with an external speaker then I would suggest that you may have an internal speaker problem.

Either way, take it back to you store to be checked.

Regards,

Tony

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
I am looking to purchase one "original" car charger for the Nexus 5, since LG do not have retails around here, thought of going for the Samsungs. Found out that Samsung have two car chargers, one for 5w and another one for 10w, the 10w one is almost twice as expensive.

Is the 5w one enough? Or should I get the 10w one?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
Yes, it's enough. The 5W charger = 1A. Since the wall charger that came with your nexus is 1.2A, you'll notice that it will charge slightly slower than it does when you plug it in at home, but still way faster than USB.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielMod:
9 watts at least.

Less just wont charge,The phone will just discharge slower.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
The A/C adapter that comes with the Nexus 5 is only a 6W charger, so that can't be true.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielMod:
This is from my experience bro.

Do not forget that watt=volt*amp (5 volts * 2.0 amp=10 watts).

Which gives us that 10 watts equal to 2 amp home wall charger or 9w which would be equal to 1.8 amp charger if you'll try a 6w charger It's just too low for the nexus it will charge up to 1.2 amp,and this is honestly not enough.

Also the Nexus 5 chargers really slow if the phone being used while charging (which in this occasion could be GPS,Music,Bluetooth),so yeah,9 watt at least.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
This is interesting. So probably the 5W is enough for a slow charger and will charge slower than the Wall Charger.

10W will definitely charge faster than the wall charger.

Hi,

I just flashed a useless MLM kyäni kinect tablet with MODECOM FreeTAB 8002 IPS X2 3G+ ROM and it's fully working

and debranded now - meaning there is nothing from Kyani MLM company there anymore. Simply flashing

stock MODECOM ROM works, no need for any modified ROMs.

First I applied this driver auto-installer RK_DriverAssitant.zip from here:

http://www.haoyuelectronics.com/service/RK3066/tools/windows/RK_DriverAssitant.zip

Working solution is this firmware and updater (other RKBatchTool doesn't detect it)

[IMG="http://i.imgur.com/1aIle55.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/1aIle55.jpg[/IMG]

After entering bootloader (you'll see blank screen) i used "Restore" option (not "Upgrade"!).

Internal 3G is also working, as far as i can tell (didn't test calling, but network scan works)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KoolCharisma:
Hey guys. So thanks to Micmars I was able to break myself out of a terrible boot loop. The only real solution at the time was to use an exe file to push me into the NAB update. My goal was to then to go ahead and push a custom recovery and use SuperSU to root the device, followed by installing NABD. Problem is that it seems that the current stock recovery is unable to flash any of these updates. The broken android comes up when I enter stock recovery. Flashing a custom recovery fails as well.

Here are my goals:

1. Root

2. Flash TWRP

3. Install one of the latest and greatest custom ROM.

I need your help fellas. Any help is greatly appreciated and big shutout to Micmars for saving me from bricking my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wgorham:
You will need to root with CF root you can find it in the forums. If you do that you will lose Knox warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
Put the phone in odin aka download mode. Flash recovery from there. Works fine. Trips knox. But for me I didn't care. Your milage will vary.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KoolCharisma:
I looked at several different stock roms and or recoveries. What exactly is a CF Root? My phone has already tripped Knox so I'm not worried about that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KoolCharisma:
Now which recovery are you referring to? Is it the stock? I have tried multiple times with Odin to flash the stock recovery but it won't because it already has the NAB recovery installed and its not letting it do anything else because its saying that the operating system has been modified. so it's basically trying to box with me a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
Why are you trying to flash stock recovery? ?? It already has stock unless you flashed twrp or philz

Go get the NAB tar file and flash back to Stock and then do what you want .... root with chain fire cf auto root for 9005 ... international note 3 ... Then flash twrp the newest is 2.7 ...

To Start,

1. Remove any cases from phone.

2. Put Chainfire latest superuser on your phone,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbtuggkhqknm2ik/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

3. Put TWRP 2.7.0.0 for TouchWiz KitKat on your PC,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptl8dyomprxxn0l/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar

4. Using PC Odin (3.07 is fine), flash TWRP,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2n10tjzmxlhaz4/Odin3 v3.07.zip

[Unzip to your PC, run Odin as administrator, shut down your phone, put phone in download mode (volume down + home + power, then volume up to confirm), load TWRP tar into PDA slot, plug phone into PC using same USB port as one you've used before, keep automatically restart checked in Odin, hold phone in palm of your hand, get ready to hold volume up + home, hit start on PC Odin, hit start on PC Odin, when file finishes flashing, hit those buttons quickly, since the recovery file flashes in like 5-10 seconds, your now in recovery.]

5. Inject root,

Tap install from the TWRP, navigate to the location on your phone you put that superuser file, flick the knob, reboot.

You are now rooted with custom recovery.

From here, the world is your own. Lots of roms from which to choose, I recommend looking around the dev forums, you'll find something that's right for you. Might want to start with a TouchWiz rom, just because they are built from stock and they'll function as you'd expect. Try AOSP if you like, but those roms tend to take a bit more diligence on your end. No problem with that, but this will get you started with the least effort.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Follow the OP instructions prior to flashing.

So NAB is stock essentially? Why am I constantly having warnings of modification and app crashes constantly.

Further the current recovery is broken. You know, the beat up droid on the ground. It won't allow me to install root. Is it possible I need an older root request?

TWRP 2.07 don't flash through Odin. We'll get it though. Let's keep at it. :)

Micmars! How good to see you again you old chap. Obviously since we last spoke I haven't had much progress. You really helped me getting to this point. We built a whole thread together and saved me $150 in insurance money to get me out of the brick. I don't have a computer on me but I've certainly tried a lot. If stick recovery is simply broken, how do I get of this mess?

I'm confident we'll have that new ROM in no time.

Stanard Knox Notifications..

Dude, those are standard Knox notifications. If you have successfully rooted your device, just get rid of the damn things. Install freeza's Knox-free Stockish DeOdex or Odex NABD rom and be done with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KoolCharisma:
That's just the problem. The stock recovery seems to be broken and I can not actively flash TWRP to the device neither clockworkmod. That's why I'm having the current problem. I can't do anything without having root obviously.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
My friend, I'm at a loss. There's really nothing I can go at this point. Broken stock recovery makes no sense to me, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Flashing working recovery that is custom would replace a stock recovery, working or not. At least one could speculate.

You obviously need to install root.

Go hit the qbking77 video on rooting this device and follow the instructions.

The title does lay it out somewhat, but I'm looking to see what the best screen protector when it comes to being anti-fingerprint, while also retaining that HD quality about the screen. I've seen the matte finish ones that might do an alright job, but if at all possible I would like to keep it crystal clear.

I should also point out that I'm really not interested in scratch protection or any of that (of course, if it does offer some level it'd be appreciated, but I keep things safe). Just something that'll make fingerprints go away!

I am not opposed to any type as long as it'll give me those two things above, so dry application, wet application, or glass, doesn't matter to me! There might even be other methods I don't know of, such as an oleophobic spray or something. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
There was no irony. As I was reading your post I was coding my app to check on startup its current location then generate a new shortcut to replace its existing one in the startup folder. One reason i use a shortcut done by hand is to get the command line arguments in it. I use the command line to tell my program if it is being started after a soft reset. If it is it minimises itself after a couple of seconds. Of course I don't need to look up the icon because my shortcut is for my executable, from memory it was just trial and error getting the correct icon for things like poutlook. I think any shortcut generator would have to be able to copy the info from existing shortcuts to make it useable over different versions/os etc.
