[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Hey, I don't know if this can help, maybe not in your case because you are not rooted but I telling you what happened today to me.

I had saved all the folders with obb file of all my games time ago. Every time when I install again the game I just put back the folder and I do the installation. If you do a fresh installation probably your Game Progress will be gone, but I had a Backup of my System Partition, I restored my Partition today with a Backup from last week, so I do not care if I was losing my Game Progress so I just copied again all my folders, started the Game, the Game did his installation and you want to know, my Game Progress was still there.

So maybe if you save the Android>obb folders on SD, then Backup the System Partition with PC Companion, then do what you have to do, Restore the Backup, which will be without obb folders, then you copy back in place the obb folders which you saved before, I think you will not lose your Game Progress and this is the way to backup all data.

I hope this can be helpful to you in some way. :)

Hello, everyone,

my note 3 runs android 4.4.2, has 0x0 (since that it has not yet been rooted) and I'd like to keep it that way.

So, my question is: is there a rooting method that will not trip my knox?

Thanks in advance for help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekasulaberidze:
There is not a way to root it without tripping KNOX, it's possible only for Jelly Bean

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fL!p:
Hi

I used CF auto root. It works fine ..

Now, I´ve got the following status:

I dont care about the the knox status, but I want to change the custom status to update my phone with Samsung updates. I downloaded TriangleAway v3.26 but I cant choose the option (see attachment). As I understand I can use the App to block the status but it doesnt work. And I have no idea what "System executable needed to implement workaround not found" means. Where can I find the workaround and where shall I store it on my device ?

The second message I dont understand too. I dont find another version in the play store... I think its the same version like in the board?

Maybe someone could help me :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Yeah, but you need to uninstall the version you have and pay for the google play version..... It is a paid app on google play store...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fL!p:
And after that I can reset the modified status and install the offered Samsung updates?

And what about: "System executable needed to implement workaround not found" :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You can also install xposed framework and use the cosmetic system normal mod. This will make it look "Official" in settings...

I don't know if this will allow OTA, most people just use ODIN to flash what they want - but you most definitely will loose root doing an OTA.

If the device is rooted. I would never suggest OTA updates. Odin is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdsqc22:
So, I've had a Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) for about two years now, running Cyanogenmod. This past Tuesday, on 4/1, the cell radio abruptly stopped working- I made a call early in the evening, put the phone in my pocket as usual, and when checking it two hours later noticed it had ceased to register any cell signal (I live in an area with normally extensive cell coverage). I tried a number of things, including a OS reinstall, to no avail. Suspecting a hardware issue, I activated an older phone onto my line so I wouldn't miss calls, and then prepared to bring the phone to my local Sprint store to see if they could fix it.

Knowing Sprint won't work with a custom ROM or an unlocked bootloader, I used the "flash-all.sh" script over here: developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysidspr

to restore the phone to stock, and then locked the bootloader. ADB and Fastboot were already installed.

I brought the phone to Sprint, and the technician took a look at it. The tech claimed that I had managed to wipe my RTN and MSID, showing me a screen with a clearly deleted RTN and MSID. Furthermore, the tech claimed that it apparently would cost me $75 for him to put a new one on my device, which is frankly ridiculous for a data transfer of a couple kilobytes which will probably take two minutes.

Not to mention, unless Cyanogenmod is some sort of trojan that will wipe your device's RTN after 6 months of use (unlikely), the RTN wipe was caused by my reversion to stock and is unrelated to the original cause of my cell radio not working.

What sorts of options do I have? Is there a way to get my device working that will not cost me $75 (which I'm certainly not paying as I'm off contract and could get a new phone on the cheap)?

Unfortunately, I do not have a backup of my working phone- there was nothing on it which I cared about, and had no problems wiping all data.

I did find a number of other threads regarding the IMEI, such as this: http://xdaforums.com/gala...lease-t2497746

Unfortunately, I definitely do not have the original EFS folder.

I'm not allowed to post links, that's why I put the (.) I didn't put it in a CM thread 'cause I no longer have CM and it keeps happening, maybe I should've chosen a better title. Basically white lines appear on the screen and the screen is unusable, it doesn't recognize any touches. The problem started when I installed a theme for CM 11 and then I unrooted it and flashed back to stock but the problem persists even during the bootup process and even within the bootloader. When I go to recovery it simply gives me an image of a dead Android. I called Google and LG and they told me I could send it back but since it was rooted the warranty will not cover it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
If you see `the dead green android` screen press volume up and you`ll get into recovery :) If you flash the complete image (flash-all.batt) your issue should be fixed, unless its a hardware issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Follow the link above for flashing stock and see if that fixes your issue :) Maybe you could do a full wipe first in a custom recovery and reflash CM11 and Gapps,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

Hi There

i'v tried to downgrade my wizard, it stuck in 98%, and then i disconnected the wizard before its finished to upgrade.

my wizard stay in bootload

after that i disconnected the battery, and the wizard does not show a thing on the screen!

is there a way to realive the wizard again or should i put it in the junk!

Please Help
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] DavidT.:
It usually hangs at 98% for a little bit then continues. What you did wrong was disconnect it...it even says in red print before you start not to disconnect it during the upgrade.

Search for "bootloader screen" and rerun the upgrade/downgrade once you get your device into the bootloader screen. Here's one for you to start with:

While holding down the camera button, turn your phone on and connect the usb cable... that should bring you into your bootloader for your wizard. Then run the update again, but do not disconnect it under any circumstances. The update may take as long as 15-20 minutes... so be patient.

I have stock VS980-12B and rooted (just updated from ioroot23 to ioroot25). When I check the cache its empty and no fota folder. I want to get 24A kitkat. What must I do to get the fota folder (I can't create a new folder in cache).
[Verizon LG G2] drlenny:
Su

You must have root access in order to create a folder there.

You can do this one of two ways:

1. Use a root enabled file browser like ES File explorer and grant it root access. (Menu->tools->Root Explorer), then navigate to your desired location and create the folder,

2. Using a command line (ADB or Terminal Emulator) type su<enter>. The terminal will request root on your phone, grant it, then type cd /cache<enter> then mkdir fota
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coolmingli:
When I bought my ZU 6802 it was on 257 then I OTA to 290 then 681.

my goal is to get root access only I also want my DRM key intact.

Here is what I plan to do with the ZU.

1.Downgrade to 532, root it without unlock the bootloader, then back up my TA petition.

2.OTA upgrade from 532-257-290-681(will I still be able to? I already took the OTAs Do I need to unroot first?)

3.After back to .681, I will unlock bootloader, then use jackie099's method to root it.

4.Relock bootloader, restore my TA petition.

Does that sound like a plan?

Two things I worry.

1. I am not sure if I can take the OTA update back to .681 after downgrade to .532,

2. What will happen after I relock the bootloader, will I lose root? Jackie099's rooting method has dual recovery, it uses kernel from 6833, my ZU is 6802, my guess is after I relock the bootloader, dual recovery will be lost or null, and I will still have root access.

Any advises will be appreciated.

Same here, I was astonished when I saw this. Never would have that kind of waterproof capability. Very cool!
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I think its safe to say you can submerge the S5 without any worries.

Im waiting on a salt water test since I plan on taking my phone with me when I go to the ocean and it would be great to use it in the water. I think it should be fine as long as I rinse it off with freshwater afterwards.
[Galaxy S 5 General] karmuh:
According to the S5 user manual (Page 9):

Even still, I'd love to see a test being done to see exactly how the device reacts. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
They also advise you to not submerge the S5 in water. The only reason I can see why they would not reccomend exposure to salt water is because of the seals potentially deteriorating because of the salt.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Itchiee:
And that washing machine test, holy smokes... I live in Florida so having a waterproof phone would be nice.

Salt will be corrosive so washing it after exposure might be okay?
[Galaxy S 5 General] hemander:
Technology and water, when put together = AMAZING! Can't wait to have this.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dpwhitty11:
Salt water is incredibly corrosive, and submerging in that will degrade the contacts on the headphone jack very fast. So don't go swimming in the ocean with it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
But it isnt going to happen instantly so if I am to immediately rinse with fresh water after the salt water exposure it shouldn't have any effect theoretically.

I wonder if anyone with a Z1 ever exposed it to salt water, it also has an open headphone jack so it should also technically be likely to corrode.

It is because of the thermal protection. I have found the values to fluctuate quite a bit. My top score with antutu is 27474 on the 510, though I haven't tried in a while.

To get semi accurate results, plug in your device until a the battery charges, and while still plugged in, start the benchmark without doing anything else first. With luck the thermal protection won't kick in and you can be impressed! :)

Your absolutely right when I did my first bench mark it was on charge and it registered about the 1900 and thermal protection kicked in

You need to leave it of charge and have no heavy usage before testing as ATU has very heavy usage on CPU when testing.
