[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Master Ramy:
So I have a rather interesting situation. I got my phone through preorder like many others did, and got a 27th stability update right away. I installed it, used the device for a while. Later in the day I went into download mode to see if my phone said anything about being bootloader- locked.

The funny thing is that now, device status shows as custom, and updates fail due to "unauthorized" changes, which were never made

So my question: can that be fixed without wiping device? What do u think triggered that? Booting into DL even if I didn't do anything else?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Is it possible to copy/install a signature into PPC Outlook? I have looked for a reg setting but have been unable to find anything even close. Is this stored in a database on the device?
[General Topics] M3NF:
you can copy a sig from outlook and then make it a text file and save it as "sigature.txt{" then place it on your phone in location root>My Documents>UAContents and over write the one there.

Hope this helps.

Try first creating a sig on your device and then check and see whether the file is being created or not, and where. Then overwrite it.

Check the IMEI. If it starts by 0049 then you have modem problem. Try to search this issue ( imei 0049). You will find it in many places with the answer.

Phoenix ROM gives you the ability to choose which modem to install. In the Aroma Installer, select XXDMEA ( the same name than the file you were pointed at ).

first check the IMEI and please, give detailed info about your phone ( root, recovery etc...)

A tip for those of you who don't own a Kindle device and use Amazon Appstore:

You know that you always get the Android install screen after clicking Install from the Appstore itself, this is because Amazon Appstore is considered as a Sideloader of APKs on the android system.

A way to fix this is to move the Amazon Appstore apk in the "/system/app" (or "/system/priv-app" if using kitkat).

In this way Android will considered Amazon Appstore as an authorized system app with install permission, and will allow it to install and update APKs without showing the Android install screen. You can also uncheck the "Unknwon sources" setting to keep your device secure from dangerous apps while still being able to use Amazon Appstore.

I have been using it like this since sometime and it works great.

If you like my tip, leave me a thank you :good: ;)

Enjoy a quicker Amazon Appstore experience...

How To Install:

-Just install as any other .zip via recovery. Wiping caches is not needed, but after rebooting clear app data.

Should work on Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra

(Updater Script has a line that should delete the .odex before installing. I took the apk from the .757 firmware from the Z1. Superuser mod is not needed)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix.Mobiplanet:
Hello everyone, as you all know, Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 has recently been updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat officially. Indeed it's a great news but it has many drawbacks too, and I think among them, removing the permission to write data directly into the External SD card by 3rd Party Apps (eg. 'UC Browser', 'Flud' etc.) is the most significant one. The International Octa-core variant of GT-I9500 has 16GB of Internal Storage but the TouchWiz and Android OS itself eats up almost half of it and leaves only about 8.5GB user-available. If you're a hardcore user like me and often download Gigs. of data from internet, then you might also be feeling that the little internal storage is not sufficient at all for us. I've already expanded my device's storage by inserting a 64GB Strontium Nitro 566X UHS-1 MicroSDXC card but the dumb concept of seizing the data Write permission to External SD of 3rd Party Apps by KitKat really deserted us (perhaps that's why I always preferred 'Bournville' more than the 'KitKat'). Downloading to Internal Storage and then moving it to the External Storage using the existing explorer - "My Files" can be seemed to be a good solution but not the best one.

But, luckily, I found where the problem is. Under root > etc > permissions > platform.xml you'll find "<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"> tag and under it, the following values exist:

<group gid="sdcard_r">

<group gid="sdcard_rw">.

What you'll have to do is, add one more line:

<group gid="media_rw">

and reboot your device. The problem should be resolved.

I've attached the two screenshots - one of Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2 KitKat and one of Galaxy Grand running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Galaxy Grand Screenshot

Galaxy S4 Screenshot

But I'm pretty confused about it. Will the warranty be void after applying the changes or not? Will the device status still remain Official or become Custom? Does anyone know the answers of my questions?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidpleb:
Hi,

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the fingerprint reader works reasonably well (as in it works, nothing in comparison to apple though, so don't buy it for the fingerprint reader :( ) for unlocking the screen...

However its a work requirement that my phone has full device encryption, as phones are regularly stolen where I travel.... it seems when I enable encryption I lose the ability to use the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone :( .... I bought this hoping that I could avoid having to type in my complex password just to unlock the screen, as I got so tired of doing that with my S2 :(

Is there any mods to enable finger print reader screen unlock + full device encryption at boot time for the Galaxy S5 yet? ... I saw some references to pattern unlock / pin with device encryption... but I would think the fingerprint reader is different...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkchumly:
S5 Full disk encryption with fingerprint unlock

I also have this question. I believe on the Nexus 5 it at leasts lets you use face unlock with full device encryption. And I read on one article that you should be able to do this but i do not think the author actually tried this. I will say from my own personal experience that you can infact decrypt the device after encrypting it without doing a complete wipe of the device and you can restore the use of fingerprints to unlock your phone. It seems like for security minded people this would be a great feature but if it is unable to be used with full device encryption it seems a little pointless to me. Being forced to use a PIN or password to use encryption is a big pain point for android users who want some type of security.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidpleb:
Yes I can't believe that no one has really complained about this yet - but I guess encryption isn't' that important to people as I imagined :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorphin:
I'd like this too.. as well as, the iPhone has a cydia app (that a friend of mine showed me), that you can basically disable the power button from turning off the phone while it is fingerprint locked. That would definately be nice to have on the S5 (since it's done through an app). That would have stopped the person who stole my wife's S4 from turning it off when it was blasting the locator ring at them!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deduction:
I can't believe that the fingerprint sensor can't be used if encryption is enabled whatsoever. I could understand the iPhone model, requiring a pin before a fingerprint can be used, but by disabling fingerprint lockscreen, boot unlock, and SD unlock, the fingerprint sensor is now wholly useless for convenience.

It's too trivial to extract data from an unencrypted Android. By not supporting encryption with a measure of covenieve, I don't see the point in including a fingerprint sensor whatsoever given the current software limitations.

Please, someone, figure out what sqlite/settings need to be changed so we can make decent use of our phones fingerprint sensor.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiokino:
After some experiments, i found out a procedure to enable FDE and fingerprint lockscreen. Root is required (or at least I guess, I didn't try with a non-rooted system...).

These are the steps:

1) set up fingerprint lockscreen

2) with a root explorer, go to /data/system folder, and backup locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm and locksettings.db-wal to sd card

3) set up password lockscreen

4) encrypt the device

5) when encryption is done, restore the backed-up files to /data/system: you should have fingerprint lockscreen again (no reboot needed, just turn the screen off, and magically the password should be vanished :) )

CAVEAT 1: with my system configuration, I wasn't able to encrypt the device directly: the encryption procedure started, but after reboot nothing happened, the device just booted normally. I don't know the exact reason, in some forums they suppose that it happens on kitkat when the device is rooted. I was able to bypass the problem only adding these steps to the procedure:

...

3b) with TWRP, backup the /system partition, and restore the stock non-rooted /system

4) encrypt the device

4b) restore the original rooted /system partition

...

I don't know if steps 3b) and 4b) are always necessary, let me know...

If you need these steps, don't worry if before restoring your custom /system partition the encryption password isn't recognized, just restore the partition and all will work fine

CAVEAT 2: once encrypted, I didn't find a way to unencrypt the device, because the unencrypt ion procedure starts, but after reboot the device is still encrypted, similar to what described in caveat 1. I tried to replace the /system partition with the stock one, but the encryption password was no longer recognized.

CAVEAT 3: the current TWRP (2.7.1) isn't able to mount S5 encrypted data partition, and restoring an image made with online nandroid backup doesn't seem to work either. So, if you want to make an image of your phone (and I suggest to do it ;) ), do it before encryption
