[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jethrodesign:
I looked at the thread about how to successfully root & flash the phone when it has the Verizon OTA update (2.19.xx) found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2664460.

But it appears at first glance that to do it the phone needs to be booted up and connected to the computer via USB. I can only get my phone to the HBOOT screen, nothing else.

- Can anyone confirm that to unlock and/or flash a new ROM on this phone that it has to be able to boot up? No way to do it on my phone with the 2.19 software and constant rebooting?

Thanks. It's cosmetically perfect, so I feel bad about throwing it away. If I can get it back up somehow I could at least sell it or give it to someone in need.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stringedonbass:
If you want to use mdmower's "temp-root" trick, then you'll need to be able to access the device through Android Debug Bridge. Can you see the device if you type

adb devices

after booting up past the bootloader?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jethrodesign:
Hi. I've never tried running ADB. Not very familiar with it at all. But my phone will not boot past the HBOOT option. No matter what I've tried, it will just go into a rebooting loop. I'm assuming it needs to be fully booted up to work with ADB?!?

- Is there an RUU for the latest software update (2.19.xx) somewhere that I can try running to see if it will help it fully boot?

- Any other options?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stringedonbass:
Yes, my understanding is that to use adb, you need to be able to boot into the OS with usb debugging turned on. Hopefully someone will come along with a worthwhile response!

Is anyone aware of more current RUU's than are menteioned here?

If the phone failed as a completely stocked phone, why not try returning as opposed to figuring out how to root a broken phone?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Love the idea.

In the first bit, skip mrRobinson's rom. Start with Odin installing a custom recovery such as TWRP. Then odin the wifi patch if you are not on the Knox bootloader and don't plan on using Devil Kernel or Agni. Then pull a nandroid backup.

Complete wipe.

Install the 4.3 rom of your choice. I like Jedi Master X, wifi tether is already configured of you stick with mobile devices (tablets etc). Follow instructions on install.

If you are on another rom, go ahead and follow your instructions.

Thanks for helping the community.

Thank you for your input and comment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
You shouldn't need both the WiFi patch and devil kernel for WiFi to work. Its 1 or the other. But nice thread!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinimini1026:
Thank you for your input.

I've tried WiFi patch first, but it did not work. So, I had to use devil kernel for both WiFi and tethering to work. I put both instruction just to make sure they work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] drdoombot:
I can confirm that just using the patch does not give you wifi back on stock, rooted MK7. However, I much prefer the stock kernel to Devil Kernel in terms of smoothness.

Any idea on how to undo the WifiTethering.zip changes without having to redo the entire phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Flash your ROM over your present install. Should paint over the tethering changes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Thanks!!

First I want to thank you for this thread!! Since upgrading to Android 4.3 I have not been successful in getting wifi tethering to work. Prior to 4.3, trev-mod was working perfectly fine but after the update nothing seem to work except bluetooth tethering with Fox-Fi along with PDANet+ and many apps didn't work with that method.

Also I'd just like to add that I hardly ever tether at all... it's just nice to know when you are in a bind you have some sort of solution.

I'm currently on the 4.1.2 bootloader because I didn't want to have to deal with knox. Even though my warranty has already expired, for some reason I still do not want to upgrade to the new one. The wifi patch was giving me all sorts of freezes and random reboots so I decided to go back to the original bootloader, after reading EdKey's Conch Replubic thread. His ROM was very stable for me, however I recently acquired the Gear 2 and unfortunately not all was working correctly since it is heavily debloated. I'm currently using SWARM 2.1 with AGNI Kernel. Was using Devil before but battery drain appears to be very high with this ROM so I'm giving Agni a go for a couple of days. Since I am on the old bootloader, the only way to get wifi to work properly is either using Devil or Agni kernel unless there is another one out there that I'm unaware of at this time.

Anyway... I digress. My experience so far is this, when I initially start the tethering process, none of my devices see an access point until I stop tethering and start it again for a second time. Then I'm able to see the AndroidTether access point. I can connect and tether even without any sort of vpn or browser ID spoofer. I'd still recommend using a VPN anyway, just in case the operator starts packet sniffing. Who knows, maybe Trev Mod was working, I don't recall trying to re-enable tethering for a second time when I didn't see any access points so I just kind of gave up and stumbled across this thread :)

However, when I stop the tethering, I'm not able to reconnect to my normal home wifi until I toggle on/off the Mobile HotSpot option in the Rom. My wifi icon is enabled, but for some reason does not connect to my router until I toggle it on and then off again. This is still a better work around than having to reboot the phone each time to get my wifi to reconnect. It might have something to do with my current bootloader, but I'm not sure. I guess it will be back to the drawing board after KitKat comes out. Hopefully this will remain working for awhile...

So I just wanted to share my experience and thank you again for this thread.

Help samsung galaxy note ii t889 root access

Greetings to the entire community, I'm new here and I wanted to ask for some help on this problem that I have and maybe others have too.

I have a note II t889 which I've rooted, SuperSU appears installed on the phone, when I open any application that requires root it asks me permission, I click accept and it tells me I have been granted permissions, but when I try to use the application tells me that the root has failed, or that need root access to use the application.

Note: I have already tried this several rooting using odin and corresponding files (CF-Root-Auto for note II t889, root66_TMO_T889UVUCMK7_2.tar.md5, and others, and the result is the same, according to the rooteado odin has been done successfully)

Another thing I have android 4.3 version and I already delete knox using root browser (it asked me root access to use it and it worked to remove the data relating to knox)

Thanks

Ok anybody outthere doing this it took me a couple of hours but I couldn't find Wi-Fi tether by Topapploft, no longer in the play store, thankfully I found something that worked, first go to play store and get network share & wifi tether by joliejoy, then it's going to ask you to download newest one, wifi tether plus, file name: AndroidWifiTether_10.1.10.apk, follow the instruction above, EXCEPT the device should be GALAXY S4!!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Electriccars:
I'm at work and I just tried to make a call when it turned out to be too loud around me so I popped in my no-mic earphones which worked fine with my HTC sensation, I couldn't hear anything so I pulled them out and I still couldn't hear anything. No matter what I do if my earphones are plugged in the phone won't work on a phone call. Even if I start another call after that one it wouldn't work, only a reboot fixes it.

This is really disappointing as I have a no-mic tape player converter in my car. The audio would be routed through the speakers while the phone's mic would pick up my voice. So now that doesn't work. :(

Anybody running a ROM other than beanstalk that also has this issue? Not sure if it's the phone or beanstalk.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cullenmq1:
My brother gave me his phone to fix this weekend because it randomly reboots if you do not turn off the screen immediately once it boots up. I thought this was a kernel/software issue so i wiped the phone and updated it to 4.3 (no knox). This did not solve the problem. Now for the weird part: if the phone is on powersaving or the screen brightness is all the way down, it will not reboot until both of these two conditions are broken. This makes me think it is a power-management issue. Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Which recovery are you using? Philz 6.0.7.9 is the one that is recommended and I also am using it on my MC2 Goodness 3.03 rom. Reboots and lock ups seem to be a issue with all 4.3 rom, this is not new.. I would wipe again and make sure to wipe internal storage more than once. Each time you wipe internal storage, reboot into recovery to complete the process..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cullenmq1:
Hmm... Yeah I'm using that recovery. It also was doing it before on 4.1. Im going to put it back on 4.1 stock and if that doesn't fix it he'll just swap it for a refurb phone.

After a week of great battery, I downloaded and installed 'Audible for Android' logged in and downloaded a book... after this, I unplugged my phone at 100%, 2 hours later my battery was on 80% and Audible had 90% of the usage... I un-installed it straight away and everything went back to normal.

Do you know what, I loved my M7. In my eyes it was the best phone i'd probably ever owned, I say probably because it was only the battery life stopping it being the "ONE" So when they released the M8 with only a slight battery spec bump I made up my mind pretty quick that I was done with HTC, I couldnt handle the worry of going out for the day and the battery just packing up. I was all set for the Z2. Then they put the release back and now I see all these good reports of how the battery life is improved on the M8

Can people, anyone, just please confirm it for me so I can go and by one. Is the battery life on this substantially better, is the standby time better, I really cant handle having another phone with iffy battery life.

Here's my stats for the first full charge to almost empty. I got the phone yesterday and charged it from 30 odd per cent to around 84 then ran it down to 58. I then charged it to full when I went to bed. Unplugged it at around 10am. Is this good for a sort of first full charge? Will it get better? From what I'm looking at here, some seem to be getting 6.5hrs+. Today I've been doing some web browsing, Twitter, Facebook, Emails (3 accounts syncing), a little play with the camera, a small amount of YouTube and finally installing a few new apps towards the end. I had Google now on for half the day then turned it off. Really happy with the phone so far, a real huge step up from the One X , only thing I'm a little concerned about atm when comparing my stats to others is battery life.

P.S. I love the Sense 6 keyboard!

I say this because just yesterday my client was somehow bugged and was syncing constantly. It went from 100% to 20% in just 3 hours and used around 250MB of data. I didn't receive that many emails and they obviously didn't have 250MB of data attached.

I've installed Android Lollipop 5.0.1 GPE stock with root and I'm getting a really bad battery life. My phone had wifi and 3G off last night and I lost almost 7% of my battery (it was doing absolutely nothing).

It seems that my phone doesn't go to deep sleep. I've just installed GSAM to monitor my battery and it shows "3% used in 51m48s" and "System (adsprpcd) Audio On" on all the time. What can be this?

I know it's not a lot of statistics, but since I've been using Lollipop, I'm not getting a whole day of use, while with Sense 4.4 I could use my phone a lot.
