Im coming over from an iPhone 5 and noticed this immediately. The camera just flat out sucks!

My camera had a habit of switching to 6 mega pixels on its own for some reason. I have to constantly check to make sure it's still on 16 when I use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dr69:
Hi guys today I called samsung to complain about my phone and to ask a couple of questions and 1 of the questions I asked was, if it was possible to revert my phone back to jelly bean becuase a lot of features were removed by the kit kat update. And he said that in order for that to be accomplished I needed to root the phone and after, yes it is possible to reverted it or downgrade it.

So does anyone here knows about this? Does anyone knows how to dkwngrade safely to JB? Cause the rep sounded too convincing for me like it was something really easy and doable once rooted.

Does anykne knows of any guides or stepby step for this procedure?

Thanks in advanced
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Root it.

Flash a recovery.

Then flash whatever Jelly Bean ROM you want.

Do a search. There are 900 guides for this stuff around here.

You will trip a KNOX security features on your phone when you do this. This MAY void your warranty. There is not currently a way to undo that part.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
Well here I am. I'm brand new, so hello! I'm Tom.

I'm on Windows 8.2 trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

I've seen a LOT of posts exactly like this, and I've tried absolutely everything I've seen suggested, yet I always end up getting stuck on < waiting for device > in the command prompt while trying to root, with nothing changing on my phone screen.

Every single time! I've used every method I've seen(including superboot), and resorted to manually navigating through Android SDK, only to reach

"< waiting for device >"

I've been at it for three hours after deciding that one of you (or more) skilled folks could definitely help me on my way to rooting.

Now, I'm not afraid to say that I'm new to executing this process. I've read up on it plenty, but putting it into practice has been troublesome for me, and if you could offer explicit instruction, it would be best.

Thank you kindly!

(Yes, it is in fastboot mode at the time of attempted rooting/fastbooting)

(Yes, USB Debugging through developer options is on)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Sounds like a driver issue but your phone is detected.. Weird but I think you should check your drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
This may sound silly, but is it a driver issue on my phone, or on my computer?

And is there a guide on how I might go about fixing it?

(I took the time to re-install the USB Driver directly from Samsung website, if that's what you mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
On your pc :) Just use device manager to see if there is any yellow exclamation mark by your device when its plugged in. If there is you need to update the driver manually. For that: all hail google lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
I updated the driver - directly from Google, as well. Alas, no luck. Do you have any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Use a different USB cable and try different ports.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
I tried a different port, no luck there. It still attempts to start fastboot and stops at "< waiting for device >" - like before.

What does using a different USB cable change? I've yet to do it (but I will within two hours), and I don't see what difference it could make.

Thank you though. The help is very much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
A diffrent usb cable works because magic minions in your computer recognize the new usb cable and then go and install the right driver. No seriously I have no idea but it might work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
I have had a cord go bad before. Funny thing is that it would charge just fine. Trust me sometimes it can be the cord.

Also I have heard of the phones USB port having a couple of bent pins. This can result in the behavior you're experiencing. The phone will charge just fine but can't be recognised by the PC. If they are bent back into shape everything will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
Wouldn't it prove that the USB Drivers were functioning properly from being able to sync files, use adb commands, etc?

I'm definitely going to try it - in about an hour - but I still question what makes it work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
So both of my USB Cables are fully functioning - and still waiting for device. Anything else you can recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Have you looked at those pins inside the phone port yet?

You can notice if they are bent.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

If all else fails try another PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
I will try another PC.

In the meantime, I spoke to a friend, and we came to the conclusion that the version of Android SDK i'm using could be too new - the Galaxy Nexus was a product of 2011, after all.

Perhaps if I install an older version of SDK (however that's possible) I'll be able to root successfully? Just an idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poweringup:
I talked to a sales associate at my local mall, and he suggested I try http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ and it worked flawlessly. My phone is now unlocked, running CyanogenMod, and running Kitkat 4.4.

Thanks to everyone for the help! I hope all of your days are great.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] pokedroid:
I realize that this phone runs amazingly well without any kernel tweaks, but I am curious as to why we haven't seen any pop up yet since we have kernel source and s-off. Is new hardware making it a tougher process or are people just not thinking there will be a great benefit from custom kernels with the way the phone runs at stock?

I'm mostly just curious, so any discussion is welcome here :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rquinn19:
If you haven't headed over to the Regular M8 Forum you should, your missing out. These phones are identical and much bigger community over there. Faux has a kernel and I know of one more that's good, but there's more than those two
[Samsung Gear 2] mark manning:
The following are rules for Original Development

Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Development” subforum:

Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

I did a lot of research before coming here. So I rooted my phone a few days ago. Everything went well, but my RADIO was basically non existant. WiFi, cellular data, and GPS didn't work. I then bricked my phone, which caused me to have to use KIES to unbrick. My problem now is when I try to root again, ODIN fails EVERYTIME. I've tried at least 3 different ones. Root checker says I am not rooted, but all I did after root was use KIES to unbrick. Someone please help!

how are you trying to root?? Are you using saferoot method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jersey333:
Saferoot

I'm still pretty new to this. I was a physical tech for a year and a triage tech for longer. I've worked for every phone carrier and I am on my way to being a Field Sales Manager for Samsung at the end of the month.

I know saferoot was one of the rars on my tesktop. I also tried some kernals from forums for my specific model. When I am home, I will try saferoot again, just for argument sake, but I am pretty sure I've tried it.

If this is the one that connects while the phone is on, then roots via cmd prompt, that fails as well. EVERYTIME! It's nerving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
OK . if you're on MK2 using Saferoot will definitely work. If you run into any issues just go to that thread and you'll get some help for sure.

Also you tried different kernels? As of right now your phone is only able to run the stock kernel. Maybe you were referring to the root method for MDK build?!

Any idea why?

"More than one device and emulator" means that your PC thinks you have more than one phone (or other Android device) plugged in at the same time. You've fixed this, but for the record, you should unplug everything, use "adb kill-server" to kill the running ADB server, then it should work as long as you only connect one device at a time.

[HTC Amaze 4G] duilio8:
do you need adb to install a custom rom? i already have s off and root. Any rom recommendations for the amaze 4g?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
adb?

Don't need adb if you already have a recovery installed. You can simply put the rom on the sdcard and tell the recovery to flash it from there.

If you don't have a recovery installed, you can have hboot flash the recovery without adb.

These sound like things you might wanna use Hasoon's toolkit for, along with adb.

Lifehacker has a pretty nice article about this, with overview. He doesn't mention 4EXT recovery though, which can be immensely helpful for those without s-off.

http://lifehacker.com/how-to-flash-a-rom-to-your-android-phone-30885281

As for recommendations, the ICS rom's have probably had the most work done on them, been around a while, most all-around stable.

There's been issues in JB and KK regarding the BT/Wifi radio, and maybe the camera, though a few dev's are very committed to ironing these bugs out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] duilio8:
rom

Thanks a lot! i have clock workmod as a custom recovery. wait do you need to clear your sd card everytime you want a new rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
clear sd

Do not need to clear sdcard at all. When switching between rom's.

Currently there is no EU-wide cheap roaming for individual country members though this is coming in the future due to pressure on networks by the EU legislature.

Got a mms problem. Will not send pics or video. Phone is an AT&T 1337 s4 at MK2 on 4.3. Apn settings are confirmed correct as my mom has an identical phone and used to compare against. Searched and tried several possible solutions with no luck. Any ideas short of a factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LWH.31752:
Fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SprintGalSII:
Can you tell us what you did to fix this? Same issue, AT&T said "it's on their end"

Can you tell us what your fix was?

I am having the same issue. It is not consistent, for me. Yesterday, my daughter sent a pic. I replied, she sent another. It didn't come through. Her husband sent me two pics, one the night before and one around the time she sent the second. Neither of his came through. This happens to one of my other daughters, who has the HTC One. She can't get pics ever from the other daughter. The other daughter and son-in-law have Verizon, one Moto, one LG.

I decided to contact AT&T, and because I pay the extra, they remote connected to my phone, reset the APN, double checked other settings, and they sent through a few pics. I told her I never have problems with other family members on AT&T. She told me to ask my daughter to resend. She did and it came through .

I hung up, happy. An hour later, my son-in-law sent another picture. It failed.

I called AT&T again. The rep told me the issue is not with AT&T or my phone, the issue was with their phones.

And thus we have the3 classic "finger pointing" quagmire, where the consumer is stuck in the middle of two competing companies who want to blame the other for failure that we do not have the ability to trace, i.e., we can't see all the steps in between on their networks/equipment.

So what do we do?
