Yes u have to had set it up first for it to work before root thanks bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] khshapiro:
I updated then opened private mode made hide some stuff then cf rooted. My private mode works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
Thats what I'm thinking.

I purchased mine yesterday haven't rooted yet ,

What out of the box firmware version are you running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
I don't believe this is the exact answer. I did not follow this method, my first device had a loose ring around the heart beat monitor slot so I walked back in and replaced it Monday. I didnt even log into google before rooting it, and it works just fine as my screen shots have shown. There's got to be something were missing. Only thing I can think of is if the first device saved something on the ext sd card and the second device just read it and didnt require anything else? Shruggin my shoulders here..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
Questions for those with private mode working after root.

Did you have SD card on board before root?

If so did you save private content onto SD card?

What firmware version out of the box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Thats exactly what I was thinking and mentioned just above you, I bet its the Ext SD saved files and it not needing them written again. We need someone to test this without an SD card on a new device with firmware already installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
I've had a 64Gb on board. I do not remember if I've saved something. I might have taken a picture of the device and the cam was aware of the SD card, I believe it saved an image there... -- All before I've rooted it.

EDIT: I do remember that after rooting, I could not write to the SD card but following this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716881 the problem went away. For those that have a failing private mode, did you fix the SD card permissions and re-tested?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
I did do this mod but only learned about it after doing everything else so this is out.. Could someone post a logcat while it shows the error?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
Ok Just rooted using chainfire method finding private mode still works.

Before root:

Out of the box firmware No ota received

Google sync setup all that good stuff.

No SD card on board

Set up private mod using password entry , moved some pictures into it then exited.

Results:

Now rooted & have access to private mode viewing pics

hehe was rooting device as you posted.

I'm with you on that bet.

Now the question , what is the most stable recovery method , TWRP or Phil Touch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] khshapiro:
I didnt say it was an answer or a method, this is just what I did. If it helps narrow down a solution then great .:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Lol right on, hey, is your version G900TUVU1ANCH ? And I flashed Philz touch from the intl thread and it worked flawlessly, I'd recommend it!

Oh I hear ya buddy, I'm just trying to figure this mess out too lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
Yep G900TUVU1ANCH.

I really need to update my signature will do today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dovigoldberger:
It didn't work for me because I installed xposed framework once I uninstalled it it started working again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Did you install any specific mods or just the frame work itself and it stopped working then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dovigoldberger:
I installed a few modules but didn't install anything within the modules
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
What a day lol

I had TWRP malfunction which softbricked device so Odin flashed Surges stock 900TUVU1ANCH_G900TTMB1ANCH_G900TUVU1ANCH_HOME.tar , then re-rooted finding Private mode still works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Lol what a mess, so it still works. Did you enable private mode before rooting and/or have your sd inserted? I used Philz touch without a single issue, I love how it looks, because you can customize it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sling:
Yep same setup as first root session.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] MORI3L:
My private mode works just fine as well.

Set it up before root, no SD card, rooted with CF and then still works.

Latest firmware already installed out of the box.

Maybe this is more common then we think it is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 92drls:
Agreed, I think it's working for most everyone and when it doesnt, it's likely some one off situation. I'd say if it doesnt work, factory reset and go from there..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zozodouce:
My private mode works just fine as well.

Set it up after root, with SD card, rooted with CF and then still works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mbeezy81:
Private mode still works on mine after rooting. Didn't do an OTA update since I bought it on the first day. I didn't even know an update was sent out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] khshapiro:
Just flashed the Beantown rom and now private mode no longer works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:
His Rom is deodexed, which is known to break private mode, per Beans himself in his thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] khshapiro:
It was brought to my attention that I missed that part. I think it broke because I did a clean install , from what I've read dirty installs private mode still works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kane1513:
i can confirm... when i uninstall xposed framework i can turn private mode on no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kooms6497:
Hey guys I need help. I'm on stock, rooted, with TWRP flashed. I not sure what's going on but my "private mode isn't working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mistical:
Do you have Xposed installed? If so, that's why. The latest version 2.6 that just came out the other day has not fixed it yet either. You can either use an alternative application such as Vaulty or not use Xposed until it's hopefully fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kooms6497:
I did have it before but I read through this forum and uninstalled it. Then I tried to us private mode and it didn't work. Not sure what I did to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KitesurfingKen:
I can confirm that uninstalling Xposed framework fixed this error on my rooted Sprint S5 with GPU900PVPU1AND2.

Thank you, I was worried I had lost all my porn! (what else would you use Private Mode for?)

In my experience, it appears to copy everything to the Internal SD when you "Move to Private". The Free space on the Internal storage for "Miscellaneous Files" seems to confirm this.

Is there a way to store Private Files on the SD card?

Thanks,

Ken

Privacy Mode Not Working - Help Please

Hi,

I have Galaxy S5 Verizon variant. I moved a couple files with Privacy mode. Then I rooted with Towelroot and installed Xposed. Now my privacy mode and fingerprint scanner both won't work. I didn't realize Root would break both these things. I tried uninstalling Xposed, no luck. I don't really care about having privacy mode or the fingerprint scanner, I don't really use them, but I need to get those files back. Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
I rooted using NE6 & Towelroot, then mobile odin NH5 flashed. Knox not tripped & "disabled" when prompted in SuperSU. Fingerprint & private mode work perfectly fine as they did when it was a stock, unrooted fresh T-Mobile Galaxy S5 with NH5.

I do NOT have xposed installed & using dalvik (vs. ART).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Johnee84302:
There is a module (XSecure Storage (s health and private mode only)) in xposed that seems to have fixed the private mode and also shealth problem for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbetcher:
Just don't put all of your naughty pics on your phone and you won't have this need for private mode, lol.

Hi:

We all know the lost IMEI problems if many of Galaxy's devices , but i just want to know that if there a good and 100% working method for all Galaxy phones that i can manually inter the IMEI on the back of the phone and fix it??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
Yes. Buy an Octopus Box, and flash the IMEI.

http://gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/combo...ble_set_medusa_box_for_octopus_box_owners.php
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
ِAha , i heared about that box , but is there any other way that i can do it without a box?? meaning with the USB only?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
If you have a backup of your EFS partition, yes. You can use ADB and push the *.img file to your handset. Short of that, there really isn't a way to do it with ODIN or with ADB. If you don't have a backup of your EFS partition, you're pretty well screwed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Ok , thank for answer.

But the strange thing that i have a working Galaxy Ace and when i enter the efs file i see that it's empty! so where is the IMEI files?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Are u rooted and using a root file manager?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Diferent phone the galaxy ace. The efs partition is hidden (stl5 mountpoint), and that's a good thing because you can mess it up by making it vissible and/or attempting to copy it (you have to be EXTRA careful with your adb kung fu so you don't screw it up).

The upside is that it practically can't be accidentally ruined during a rom or other random flash, unlike its galaxy s2 and s3 cousins.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belbol:
Yes , and i checked the choise to view he hidden files , and still empty.

So you mean hidden like windows hidden files? or In other dir?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
I mean hidden not like windows. The partition that holds efs files is not accesible unless you mount it to a specific directory. Not even root explorer and show hidden files will help you find it.

Use google, use the galaxy ace forum right her in xda if you need more details. Its the stl5 mountpoint, and not recommended to try and access it.

I just cant find good settings, i manage to get good fps but i lost detail, trees are big blocks, and shadows are in wrong place
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tunderpimp:
Some games take more playing with settings than others. One other thing it depends on the quality of the ROM. I had two versions of Armored Core. 1 version had some graphical errors and the other one was clean. Download the PC version just to make sure your roms work well.
[Sprint LG G2] Artifesto:
I updated to ZVC, rooted my phone and flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0. I would like to flash a more vanilla AOSP rom like Pacman but I would like to be sure I can do this without any other steps involved other than backup stock rom in TWRP (done) download zip, copy to phone, boot to TWRP flash and reboot? I've owned many many android devices and this one is by far the most complicated one to install roms on that I've owned yet.
[Sprint LG G2] thelgog:
if your on stock kitkat zvc (kitkat) and have a recovery like twwrp 2.7.0.0 then all you need to do is flash like you normally would download a rom wipe everything but internal storage then flash rom gapps etc.

so people are getting a no sound bug meaning no sound at all comes from the speakers this happens because the rom you downlloaded still uses the zva radio. flash a rom cheack if sound plays though if not then just flash the zva radio then re-boot

hope this helps alot
[Sprint LG G2] Artifesto:
Thanks, I appreciate the help greatly
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
Autorec flashes a version older than 2.7.0.0 I believe (not sure, didn't look at version number honestly, but it didn't vibrate every time I touched an option), is it safe to flash 2.7.0.0 over the version installed by autorec on stock ZVC?

Nevermind. Must just be the first time booting to recovery that doesn't vibrate. It's 2.7.0.0
[Sprint LG G2] refdogg:
So I rooted and then flashed TWRP using autorec. I have tried to flash several roms and 80% of them result in a boot loop. On the ones that actually boot up, The mobile data network wont activate so I have no internet at all. What am I doing wrong? Do I just need to find a zva radio download and flash it after flashing the rom?

I have a Philz recovery installed because I wanted to root my phone but it doesn't work so i want to change it with Chenglu's CWM recovery but i don't know how. When i press Vol up+ Home button + power button at the same time, it goes to recovery mode. How can i change it then to download mode and how to remove Philz recovery to install Chenglu's? Thank you!

[Verizon LG G2] sdny8:
I was trying to update my phone to malladus 2.0 from 12b stock rooted. I must have screwed something up along the way because it was soft bricked. Wouldn't boot and when connected to PC it showed as multiple drives with nothing on them. I was able yo restore with .tot method. Ever since then I can't hold a 4g connection. I tried flashing other radios. And now I'm on xdabbebs 24a ROM. Still the same.

Anyone else know of a similar situation or have any ideas? My only idea left is to try restoring to stock again.
[Verizon LG G2] sdny8:
*update i found info somewhere online saying to do a factory reset after the tot restoral. I did and kept a 4g connection through the entire night. i just upgraded to 11B (tot restoral is only to 10B) and after doing so i started dropping back to 3g again after about 5 mins of sitting idle. i just tried another factory reset to see if it will help. these factory resets are through the stock recovery btw. if this doesnt work i guess I'll start back to square one and look for a non OTA upgrade path.

:confused::confused:
[Verizon LG G2] DrPopper:
I'm having the same issue. I have 3g constantly, but my 4g only works for a short period of time. If I turn on airplane mode and turn it off it connects to 4g for a while, then drops back to 3g. I did the exact same thing you did, soft bricked my phone then downloaded the stock TOT and did OTA upgrades to bring me up to the current Kit Kat software. Any more luck with this?

*Update. I tried the reset with; No change
[Verizon LG G2] CharlzO_2000:
No luck on my end with the same. I've been through a bunch of things, gone from 12b to 24a and back again, run 4.2 and 4.4 ROMs respectively, and nothing has helped it. As soon as I lose 4G through areas, it just will not pick it back up until I toggle Airplane mode. I hate to do a reset, very much so, but I'm getting to the point where it might be my last resort. I go back and forth through 3G and 4G areas every day, and I can't keep toggling a dozen times every day.

The last Carbon nightly was the most "stable" in that at least the 4G to 3G handoff didn't interrupt data. But still...

And that's assuming it comes back as I write this, because my last attempt at going back to 24A and the Carbon beta, and I lost all data connectivity altogether. No network at all...and of course, not enough posts to ask for help in the Dev section. Gotta love it...

Good evening.

As the title says my Ativ S has been updated yesterday with the dev preview.

I've tried to create new folders for my app with the oversaid one and the app just closed after I had confirmed the folder's name.

Hello everyone! Well, I just bought a Jasjar and already having major problems...

I have had a Windows Smartphone before, and am familiar with ActiveSync 4.1, however, for some reason when I synce the Jasjar I get everything BUT my contacts! What is the deal? I have them checked off in the intial screen for Sync but after it syncs, I the original options to sync stacked on top of another list of options, the bottom list will not allow me to click contacts, but the top one does!

Please help...Is this phone all that it is cracked out to be?

Thanks!
[General Topics] bryson:
it may be that a previous active sync folder from your previous smartphone still resides on your desktop, and AS is getting itself in a fluster due to that. Have a search for that folder - probably something like WM_YourName and kill that folder off, and re sync with your jasjar, that should help

(anyone else got any ideas or something to add?)

Cheers,

Bryson

Could also be your contacts in Outlook not being in the default contacts folder?
[AT&T LG G2] djpelosi:
Hello. I've normally always been able to get myself out of a brick situation but this time I cannot figure it out. I recently rooted my G2 and attempted to remove the USB debugging icon notification by editing build.prop and adding "persist.adb.notify=0" with the build prop editor application downloaded in the app store. Once I rebooted the phone, it would not boot past the LG logo. I have the stock rom, stock kernel, on 4.2.2. I'd like to unbrick it without losing any data, if possible. I attempted to ADB into the phone and fix but this is what happened with that: I can ADB into the phone, but when trying to replace the build.prop with another, I get a operation not permitted error. So when I try to do adb shell, su it just sits there blank and doesn't do anything. No $ or #, just a blank line and never goes anywhere, so I can't get root access to mount the filesystem. Does any of any suggestions at all? I don't have any aftermarket recovery on it.
[AT&T LG G2] xxxrichievxxx:
I believe you can adb pull the build.prop, edit it, and then adb push it back.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Oops I didn't read that you said you don't have any custom recovery, thay would of been your best bet. Install custom recovery and adb pull/push
[AT&T LG G2] djpelosi:
Well here's how I ended up fixing it, and anyone who bricks their phone in a similar way should read this.

I was able to get into download mode, so I downloaded the firmware for my phone (LG G2 D800) from this site (downloaded OCT 2013 version):

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/AT&T/

I then used the program "LG FlashTool" to flash that firmware back onto the phone and I was instantly unbricked. The program needs to be cracked in order to use it and there is a tutorial and .zip file of the full program floating around. I will not post the link since it is a cracked program, but it's fairly easy to find. It requires putting the phone into download mode and then setting the phone in device manager to use COM port 41.

That's basically it. However, once I successfully reflashed the stock firmware, I then installed a custom recovery (TWRP). After I installed that recovery, my phone decided to automatically do a software update (f*ck!). I was now bricked AGAIN. This time, the phone wouldn't go into download mode, and I was getting an error on boot "Secure Booting Error! Cause : boot certification verify." I couldn't flash with the previous tool because I couldn't get into download mode, and I couldn't use TWRP because unfortunately for me, the touch wasn't working so I couldn't navigate to any menus. The phone was also not showing up in device manager as a COM serial object, so LG FlashTool was a no go this time. I could however ADB into the phone and fastboot, but nothing I did seemed to work in either. I tried flashing different recoveries, but that just put me into fastboot loop, or didn't work at all. At the end of the day, I finally found out that simply replacing the following boot image files with the one's that match your firmware (10d or 10o), the phone finally booted up and I jumped for joy. Here are the file names, and where to get them: aboot.img, boot.img, rpm.img, tz.img, laf.img, sbl1.img, recovery.img.

These images can be downloaded here. http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D800/Stock_Firmware

I then followed Partager.info's guide to copying the files over (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142).

Basically, you have to figure out which partitions the images reside on your phone. In my case, using the guide above, I found that these were my partitions setups:

sbl1.imb - 2

aboot.img - 5

rpm.img - 6

boot.img - 7

tz.img - 8

recovery.img - 15

If you're using his guide and are in linux, you can simply follow it to replace the files. After I replaced all the mentioned image files, I rebooted the phone and got an android icon saying software updating, but it got an error after about 12% and rebooted. Then it rebooted into the OS and I was unbricked AGAIN. This was a HUGE hassle and I spent so many hours figuring this out. If this has happened to you or something similar, shoot me an email at d3ath.x@gmail.com and I'll try to help you out with whatever I can.

I'm desperate
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their G Flex and if there is a simple fix? The voice is just a hair off, mostly when using any blutletooth ear piece or headset. It is even off a tiny bit when it's coming through then internal speaker.

It may be me being a little OCD, but it's driving me nuts and never had these issues with any other phones. Just recently switched from a Note 2.

Is it a weaker blue tooth in this or something else?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[LG G Flex] Da Kine:
I haven't noticed anything, I'll try pairing my phone to my Bluetooth speaker tonight and see if I have the same issue.
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
It's only on Netflix though, so hopefully you have a subscription. It don't happen on anything else but Netflix. Wonder if I should try contacting them about it.

YouTube works fine, movies downloaded work fine... I don't get it.
[LG G Flex] joebartender:
I've seen this via Bluetooth with both my Noisehush and Arctic headsets. Only while watching Netflix.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
I had this last night using my headphones (not blue tooth) hopefully it is just a temporary bug with Netflix
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
This is happening to me as well and is annoying. It's like watching a old karate movie. Lol. As of now I just use my wired headphones.
[LG G Flex] JesseMT4G:
It's only with this phone and only with Netflix. Wife and daughter have G2's and they are perfect. Wonder why Netflix don't play nice with the Flex? Hopefully it is just a bug fix, but enough of us need to complain.

If not fixed, gonna trade this phone in sooner than anticipated. :(

Watch a lot of Netflix.
[LG G Flex] Da Kine:
Yeah i have a subscription. I just tried it with my bluetooth speaker and I do have the same problem. I didnt have a chance to try out other apps, but I will later.
