I've been putting it off for a while. I'm flashed to cwm and still on TouchWiz. Is there a particular method to doing this system update? I want to get on kitkat and keep my root, or at least be able to get root access again afterwards.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nickgenova:
I don't know what this means, in particular. Can you link me to something? I ran cyanogenmod up to 11 when my s3 died and have been out of the community for a bit. I just want to put the OTA kitkat update onto my phone and then get root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kevinsturf:
You can get on kitkat if you flash a kitkat rom or by odining stock NAE tar file (Please note that this will give you knox bootloader). If you visit Sacs Custom Rom 4.4.2 kitkat rom (link in my signature below). It will explain how to go from a previous version to his kitkat rom.

Basically, in a nutshell...you need to have the NAE modem (which is explained in the thread) and specific recoveries to use during flashing. Visit the thread to find out more :)

[Desire General] MattSid:
I have been using those last years my old HTC Desire with many customized ROM, and everytime was the same, bug here, bug there, slowliness and all those problems that makes the all day use frustrating.

Yesterday I just gave up and installed again the original ROM with Android 2.2, and I was pleasantly surprised about the reaction time and the pratically absence of bugs, but more then anything the compatibilty with the new apps.

But I was too nice to be true, after installing just some major app I discovered again the big limit of this Phone: the low Internal storage.

Sadly all the apps cannot be moved to the SD Card and the cache cleaning does pratically nothing again the problem.

Right now I would ask: there's a noob proof method to install more apps on my Smartphone without changing the ROM?
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
U need to have ROM with Mount2SD or with A2SD or other mod. Also you can try add one of this mods to your ROM.
[Desire General] MattSid:
Thanks! Could someone give me a simple guide to do that?
[Desire General] MattSid:
up:confused:
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
Sorry for the delay. I don't come here often. So you can try with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.mounts2sd To use this app you need a rooted device and properly partitioned sd card. U simply need to try it out, because I have no idea if it works on stock roms. You have two ways of install Mounts2SD:
[Desire General] MattSid:
Thanks, I just installed the app but he wants the Root (SuperUser) permissions. Could I get those keeping the Original ROM? when this is possibile, how could I get the SU permissions? Thanks again and sorry for the newbie questions.
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
I thought you tried lots of custom ROMs on the Desire? The principle is the same.

You need root and a properly partitioned sd card to use an A2SD script like mount2sd.

- Use revolutionary to s-off

- Install 4EXT recovery through fastboot

- Backup sd card and partition with 4EXT recovery, maximum 2GB ext4 partition.

- Flash superuser.zip through recovery. This will root your existing original ROM.

- Try mount2sd again.

You can use mount2sd to move apps and dalvik cache to sd-ext. You shouldn't have to 'move to SD' any more, just keep apps on phone to trick to sd-ext. Keep app data (e.g. saved gamed data) on your /data partition for speed and stability.

You will still eventually run out of space because you are still on stock hboot, with 147MB /data partition (internal memory). This can still fill up with a lot of apps.

If you really need more app space, you need to flash a different hboot with smaller /system and hence larger /data, and a custom ROM which will 'fit' into the hboot.
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
You can root the phone as it's listed in post up mine. So you can stay at your ROM and gain extra functionality ;)
[Desire General] MattSid:
Ok, step by step:

1)Handy got already the s-off option active

2)How could I install the 4EXT recovery through fastboot? In the menu list there are no option like this, and when I try to load the Recovery I got a "!" symbol.
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
By using the internet to look for a guide....? ;)

You can find the 4EXT recovery.img in the 4EXT thread.
[Desire General] MattSid:
The Guide looks pretty long, witch one paragraph could help me? and which one ist the 4EXT thread?
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
Don't give him links which gives him no answer ;)

This is a complete guide how to root your Desire: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044 It's easy so you should have no problems with it ;)
[Desire General] Chromium:
Its not that his links don't give him the answer, rather that he is trying to help him by avoiding spoonfeeding. Eddie has provided him with all of the necessary information: A guide on how to flash a recovery through fastboot and the location where he can find the 4ext recovery image.

Thats all he really needs. Obviously he needs to apply some logic of his own and possibly do a bit of further research, but in the long run its better that he learns rather than uses the "One click root" solution that you have linked.
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
I simply think that's the best way to start, and I also started from this point (but i'm kinda experienced user, because it's my second android phone ;p). He'll surely learn something and then will find other things that he will need.
[Desire General] MattSid:
Spoonfeeding, that shouldn't be nothing wrong with that:

we are all not super geeks with lust of reading wall of texts with redundant informations that requires hours of reading and understanding.

Sorry if I annoyed you with my impatience and thanks anyway for your support.
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
Unfortunately there can be a lot wrong with spoon feeding...I've seen a lot of people just rush into things without understanding what they're doing. They end up bricking their phones. I don't want you doing the same ;)

I gave you links to the correct guides, you don't have to read all of it, just the bits that are relevant to you (fastboot).

You don't have to be a super geek at all. Yes it takes a bit more time to learn, but that way:

- you reduce your risk of things going wrong

- you actually understand what you're doing... :good:

To be blunt, you shouldn't be messing with your phone at all if you can't search for guides or even read guides that you've been linked to. You can easily achieve want you want. The choice is yours.
[Desire General] Deleted member 4624127:
That's the perfect explanations, thanks ;)
[Desire General] MattSid:
Ok, I take a deep breath and trying to do this ****.

I just checked this your guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044 and I'm stuck on the point 3. There's "FASTBOOT" "RECOVERY" "CLEAR STORAGE" and "SIMLOCK" but no "HBOOT USB".

So, next step? I take a breath because I feel an urgency to throw away my Phone and buy mindless a new one.
[Desire General] Chromium:
I'd strongly suggest not rooting the way explained in that guide. You will only gain root without s-off, which is quite useless in my opinion, and also somewhat dangerous. Instead use Revolutionary which will give you s-off and a custom recovery from which you can then easily flash root. First check what hboot version you have. If its 0.93.0001 or 1.02.0001 then you are good to go. Download revolutionary here. Boot your phone up normally (into android), then extract the revolutionary zip and run the executable file. Go through the on screen instructions and once you are done you will be s-off and have a custom recovery installed. Next you can either simply flash root, or install a custom rom.
[Desire General] MattSid:
I got already the s-off active, the HBOOT version that I got is the 6.93.1002, what I should do then?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
Hello guys, my booting problem is bit different from most booting issues. The only rom that works for me was CM11 when i first flashed is after installing 2nd bootloader. I made a backup of it. Now when I try to install other roms( some i port, some i download like kinology and CandyKat) none of them go past the boot animation. They get to the boot animation fine, but they won't boot past it. I give it like 45-90 minutes and it still doesnt boot, so I just turn off the KFHD by holding power button and restore cm11 through twrp. Anyone know a solution?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Might be some selinux xattribs causing issues, might wipe internal storage to fix, I heard twrp 2.7 has better selinux support, if an internal storage wipe doesn't do it I would try a command that wipes internal storage over a adb shell in twrp in such a way that wipes xattribs.

Make sure if you try this to backup your twrp backup first and anything on sdcard you don't want to lose.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
How would I do this? Clarify please? Thank you a lot!:good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If you don't already have twrp 2.7 flashed then flash it, then go into twrp and hit wipe and hit advanced and choose internal storage and see if it fixes it. If that doesnt do the trick post back and i'll send you the command you will wanna try next.

As to backing up your twrp backups, just copy and paste the twrp folder off the kindles sdcard.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] beanoguy:
Hello,

I was wondering, when you create an FTF does your personal information get stored with it? Such as gmail account or other account information?

I'm curious because I've reflashed my phone with an uploaded ROM. In one application, I was seeing someone elses account.

Is this possible? If yes, what's the proper way to create the FTF for public consumption?

Regards,

B
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Riyan_Fransen:
In theory not. Cause when making an FTF you take the files from the sony update program, wich come straigth from the sony server. So I think probably not. At least I hope for security reasons haha
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] beanoguy:
Thanks for the reply. The last thing I want to do is raise concerns about security within the community.

As mentioned previously, I restored an FTF, installed an application and launched it. When I launch that application I see a user name already logged in by default, and it's not mine.

I then Googled that user's name associated with that account, and the first hit brings me to an XDA user who is also an owner of the Xperia T. Their XDA user name is the same as the username for that application.

If anyone has more information or knowledge around this, please share your thoughts.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arturiu:
My understanding is that an official FTF is generated on the fly from Sony servers and signed specifically for your device, when you check via PC Companion or SUS.

This is why you need to decrypt the cached files from SUS in order to access it's content.

So, if you manage to build your own customization work, then you may end up in sharing "more" than just a clean fw to other users.

(please correct me if my analys is wrong; I'm always willing to learn ;)

I've read users complaining about duplicate MAC addresses, SIM card not working, ..., and I believe it is related to this kind of situation.

You may have also suffered from a similar case, where app data in the custom fw was not clean.

And, one could speculate that a malicious developer may include malware inside the ROM, to do whatever he wants to...

This is the main reason I'm so reluctant to install custom ROMs that are not coming from official servers.

Don't get me wrong: XDA is the most credible community I know, with brilliant contributers. But still this could happen...

I'll root my device as soon as an 4.3 exploit for locked bootloaders is found (similar to the 4.1 exploit from DoomLord). Then, I'll be able to customize my device based on a safer approach.

Anyway, this is just an opinion.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
As far as I know, you don't create FTFs. They are created by Sony and downloaded through the update program. So far I have not seen custom FTF files anywhere, nor any guide showing how to make one, and they also have to be signed with Sony's keys, which makes me wonder where on earth you got that FTF from.

Are you sure it's an FTF and not a flashable ROM zip file?

This is not related. It most likely happens sometimes when ROM developers hard code the (wifi) mac address in the ROM (not intentionally), which can be fixed easily most times, and shouldn't be of concern since, if you're on WiFi, your most likely using a router, which has a firewall and doesn't expose your internal IP or MAC address to public networks.

Do the same mentioned in 2nd post, all you issues will be resolved.

As you said you're in other country, you might not have access to PC and assuming that you have a recovery installed on your phone. Backup your phone (in case to revert back if anything goes wrong). Do a factory test. Don't mess with system only wipe user data and cache only. Reboot your phone. It should with fine .

Just for your knowledge: Mostly 3G and WiFi issue occurs when a dirty flash is done.
