[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulises.boom:
I´m newbie here and need to ask for help.

I just bought an HTC ONE (m7) Developer Edition from SWAPPA and came with the CYANOGENMOD 11 (cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-m7.

I´m trying to get that back to the Stock ROM from HTC and downloaded the (RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.exe) from HTCDEV but when ran it gives me an error 155, cannot update your phone with this utility.

Need guidance on getting this back to stock rom as I prefer the HTC Sence UI.

Attached a picture of the bootloader just in case it is needed.

My kindle fire hd 7 stucked in "boot loop", so I bought a Factory Cable.

When I connected the factory cable the Kindle start in fastboot and I used KFHD Restore Tool, but the kindle bricked, and now not do nothing.

I press power and nothing, not showing logo, not showing battery when I connected the charger...

Any idea?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
If you restart your PC and try the fastest cord again, does it work? Make sure to hold the power button down for 30 seconds first to ensure the tablet is off before trying the fastboot cord.

Is possible to unlock my bootloader (running 4.3) for installing roms with custom kernel ?

Or any way to flash a stock rom without carrier stuff (drebranded)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Well I don't know the active and can only go by what I know of the i337. You're probably on ml3 firmware. The bootloader is probably locked and you can't unlock it. So safestrap is your only option. You'll be able to flash tw based roms only. There may be debloated roms available but you'll have to find those. Try googling i537 roms xda

Do you know of a URL for downloading a valid apk for Dolphin Browser version 10.3.1? Or any release of version 10? Every apk I have found so far is bogus. The developers of Dolphin Browser decided to "improve" the browser and released version 11.0.0. Their improvements have ruined what was an excellent browser. <sigh>
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] gcogger:
What do you mean by 'bogus'? I found 10.3.0 and it seems to work, but I have no way of knowing how legitimate it is!

I've uploaded it here if it helps:

http://www.coggerjones.co.uk/stuff/Dolphin10.3.0.apk
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:
By "bogus" I mean the apk will not install and the tablet's OS reports it is an invalid file. Thank you for the URL. I will check it out.

Edit: The apk is valid and installed without problem. Again, thank you.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] gcogger:
No problem :). I installed it for the same reason as you!
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:
Restoring my bookmarks was a bit of a task. Luckily, I had saved a copy of the browser.db file from version 10.3.1. It was not directly useable with 10.3.0; the file caused 10.3.0 to crash. I copied the 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 browser.db files to my PC and then used a SQLite database editor to import bookmarks from the 10.3.1 file into the 10.3.0 file. Then I copied the edited 10.3.0 browser.db file back to my XTZ and voilà, all my bookmarks were in 10.3.0. I would still like to find a 10.3.1 apk, but the 10.3.0 will do for now or at least until the Dolphin developers fix their version 11.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] gcogger:
Sounds like a lot of trouble! Luckily I'm trying to keep Dolphin sync-ed to my PC bookmarks so I just imported Chrome bookmarks again. Do you remember what was fixed in 10.3.1?
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:
Not really. The process cost me less than half an hour.

I guess I should begin doing something similar, but I try not to save anything on the grid and syncing sometimes requires interim storage on Google's or whoever's servers. My failure was losing my backup copy of Dolphin 10.3.1 by running Titanium Backup Pro shortly after receiving the version 11 update.

No, however, one of the changes must have been to the browser.db file because the files for 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 are structured slightly different, but different enough to cause 10.3.0 to crash.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] xjeternity:
I just found that Dolphin V11.1.3 restored to swipe to side bars.That's the feature i use most.

Maybe you can have a try.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:
Thanks, but I have. I have also signed up as a Dolphin beta tester. Yes, the developers have restored the left and right swipe features, which is a good thing; however, V11.1.3 is still problematic, so the developers have more work to do before Dolphin is once again as stable as v10.3.1 was.

Quick Question

Hey Cat! I see in your sig it shows "Samsung Galaxy S 5 (SM-G900V) with 4.4.2 build KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANE9 Rooted" which is the new OTA update that was just released a little ago. I have the one right before that with safestrap recovery and stock 4.4.2 rooted with TowelRoot.

The question is (Since it seems to be breaking roots here and there) were you able to do the update without any problems and how did you install it?
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:
I purposely allowed the NE9 OTA update to install knowing I would loose root access. To regain root access I did the following.

1. Allow KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANE9 update to install.

2. Enable Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.

3. Enable Settings > Security > Unknown sources.

4. Power off GS5 (Galaxy S 5).

5. Power on GS5 into Odin Mode (press and hold Home key, Volume Down key, and Power key until GS5 powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key).

6. Use Odin3 (installed on PC) to install old rootable NCG kernel.

7. Download, install, and run TowelRoot app to gain root access.

8. Download, install, and run SuperSU Pro app.

9. Power off GS5.

10. Power on GS5 into Odin Mode again.

11. Use Odin3 again to install new NE9 kernel.

You will now have root access even though you are running the new unrootable NE9 kernel.

Requirements:

Odin3 v3.09

KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG Kernel

KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANE9 Kernel

TowelRoot (tr.apk)

SuperSU Pro (recommend; you can use SuperSU or SuperUser instead)

Hi Guys,

How can I set SuperSU language to English? I've tried in settings and all below but it did not help.

pm uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu

Its possible that the KNOX app is blocking SUPERSU. You will have to delete the entries with Root Explorer app for example. In odexed ROM´s you have to delete the associated "xxx.odex" App´s also too:

NOTE: In Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) some apps are moved to System/Priv-app (if you don't find them in "System/App" !!!)

KNOX in System/App folder:

ContainerAgent.apk

KNOXAgent.apk

ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk

KLMSAgent.apk

KnoxAttestationAgent.apk

KNOXStore.apk

KNOXStub.apk

SPDClient.apk

KNOX in DATA/DATA folder:

com.sec.knox.containeragent

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.app.container

com.sec.knox.seandroid

com.sec.knox.store

com.samsung.klmsagent

More KNOX remains:

Folder = Data/clipboard/knox

Folder = system/containers

Folder = system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store

Lib = libknoxdrawglfunction.so

File = system/tima_measurement_info ---- TIMA is a Trust-Zone of KNOX

solved. Thanks to Joku1981!

I've found 1.94 zip I've installed from recovery and it worked.

###

I've removed everything as per below, knox seems to be removed.

Unfortunately SuperSU is still in Chinese as earlier and can't be updated.

What should I try next? What should work is to force installation of APK from recovery using ZIP package, but I have no such ZIP.

What should I use? The one I've used originally seems to be in Chiense hence are no help for me.

I've heard rumours regarding spyware and other malicious software installed via Kingoapp. The Sony Z1 threads do have information regarding this matter (at least it was there I read about it).

I will check guides you've mentioned.

I've run into another problem, after getting rid of KNOX, I've got SuperSU running in english.

But... theproblem is that phone started to reboot automatically after ca. 60 seconds after booting up. And it stays in the loop.

Any ideas how to fix this problem? I'm starting to pull my hairs... I did root Nexus One, Motorola RAZR HD and did multiple other things and only with this SIV I'm having weird problems...

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkadds2:
Further investigation with logcat shows that reboot is caused by improperly removed KNOX.

To fix the issue, I've had to restore KNOX using TitaniumBackup, luckily I've had a copy and then I did freeze it and delete using Titanium.

After next reboot message that KNOX is being removed has been showed. Next reboot brought message that "access to a unauthorized area has been detected" "Update policy" or "Cancel" has been printed. Cancelling it would bring it again after next boot as I've tried multiple times. Then selecting "Update policy" helped to get rid of it. The next step was to run SuperSU which detected KNOX once again and asked if to disable it. Disabling it helped and after reboot nothing is being showed and phone works great with SuperSU in English and having root.

Now... it seems like it would be good to have KNOX whilst having the device rooted yet it seems to be impossible as I've tripped KNOX "fuse" already.

Hello everyone,

I'm new in the forum, and there are many things that I don't understand about rooting, so I have a question :

I already updated my Xperia M C1905 to 4.3 official update, is there a root, or full root (I don't know the difference) that can work for me ? I found just some topics talking about rooting the 4.1, or rooting while upgrading to 4.3 at the same time I guess, if someone can explain to me, or give me some helpfull links for rooting my Xperia M that is already on the official 4.3.

(This is my first smartphone, and I don't know anything about rooting and Sorry if I'm asking too much)

Thanks in advace ^^
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, the only way to root is downgrading to 4.1 and then using the root before update script I made. Otherwise you just unlock your bootloader and install CWM recovery, from CWM you flash SuperSU update package and you're done.

Jus keep in mind that by unlocking your bootloader you will void your warranty and your DRM keys will be wiped (some proprietary Sony apps will stop working without these keys)...

There is a Verizon "hidden menu" app, but I haven't figured out how to access it. It doesn't open using the 3845#*980# dial code that I found in a few places on the web.

My wife has had her S5 from day 1. Installed all the normal crap like Pinterest and Instagram and stuff and periodically she is getting SOD (phone sleeps and won't wake up). Its happened both overnight and once just in the middle of the day. I was in the camera and locked the screen and it wouldn't wake up. (Notification light continues to blink like normal)

The only way I can get it to reboot is with a battery pull, no amount of button presses will wake it up, which kinda sucks when its in a big case. I've had minor success with having it plugged in and holding power+Volume up, but this doesn't always work
