[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
If you're currently running 4.3 ML2 official update and you want to upgrade to 4.4.2 but dont want to lose root then keep reading.

In the following steps I'm assuming that you're currently running stock 4.3 Rooted ...see my other guide...and that you didn't modify any system apps otherwise the update will fail and you'll have to restore using the Odin package for 4.3.

1. Download pwnedkitkat.zip from 1st post.

2. If you dont have safetrap installed then you must download it and install it.

3. Copy pwnedkitat.zip and update-superuser.zip to your sdcard

4. Restart your phone in safestrap recovery and install pwnedkitkat.zip and when it's done flashing install superuser.zip.

WARNING : DO NOT PERFORM A FACTORY RESET BEFORE FLASHING THE ZIP. THIS IS A MODIFIED OFFICIAL UPDATE SO ONLY SYSTEM FILES WILL BE UPDATED. YOUR DATA WILL BE UNTOUCHED.

5.Put your phone in download mode and flash the 4.4.2 stock boot.tar.md5 kernel and your phone will boot after a few minutes with root access enabled.

Enjoy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey I tried doing your root method after updating to 4.4.2 and after I flash the pwned file with odin everything goes fine but my usb debugging will not com up at all so I cant even root and im stuck with android version 4.3 but my baseband version is i537ucucn9 and that's 4.4.2 and nothing works no wifi no data no calls no nothing could you help or point me to anything cause I cant even use my phone. Thanks

You guys should try flashing the 4.3 Odin package and starting from there. I know I have a lot of modified system apps, so I'm likely going to re flash 4.3 just to make sure I'm stock. Thanks again sunderwear!! Good luck rooting everyone. I'll post back with an update in a bit!!

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] akjimbo:
what about us 4.2.2 stock rooted users?

I'm sure most S4 Active owners are still on 4.2.2 rooted. What is the best procedure for us?

Should i unroot my phone via SuperSU then accept the stock 4.4.2 OTA update, then follow the method in the OP?

Or can i leave it rooted and flash stock 4.4.2 via Odin and then follow the OP?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
I was in a similar position with being rooted on 4.3 ML2 (Sunderwear's method). I unrooted thru SuperSU, unfroze everything under TiBU, unchecked every module under xposed framework, reboot phone then proceeded to uninstall all my root apps. I then did a factory reset, then I flashed back to the stock 4.3 under ODIN and following that I took the 4.4.2 OTA successfully.

In the end it's up to you, but IMHO I consider it wise to begin anew with a fresh clean phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
Yes if you get stuck after downgrading system you must do a factory reset otherwise you'll get stuck in the ATT LOGO.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tet1:
sunderwear thank you I downloaded it kitkat zip file. I flashed it with safestrap and then I flashed suprSu then I reboot the phone won't boot ... I flushed with Odin the kernel 4.4.2 every things works greats
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] meraz9000:
Glad to hear it worked for you. REMEMBER EVERYONE YOU MUST FLASH THE KITKAT KERNEL AFTER FLASHING the kitkat.zip update.

[General Questions and Answers] android386:
Does anyone happen to have or can upload Sprint HTC One (M8) Stock ROM?

I happen to do a system restore and got jammed in "updating android applications" and will not load into system. I probably wrote a bad byte while trying to take out *tempered* out of fastboot; which didn't work for me for whatever reason and now I'm stuck with a useless phone unless I find a working ROM.

Most of the ROMs here are for GSM except Viper (which I'm downloading atm). Would appreciate Stock ROM as a backup measure if anyone has. Thx.

Hi all,

A good friend of mine has a LG R410 laptop.

It works great but the CPU is kind of slow. It has an Intel T3200 CPU.

I googled the CPU and saw that it is a socket P.

I was wondering, will Intel T7300 / T7500 / T7700 will be OK for the machine?

Any other suggestions for an upgrade?

I'll by the CPU via eBay or an internet site that sells laptop replacement parts.

Thanks!

[One (M8) Accessories] Tower1972:

[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
I've heard that the phone doesn't fit that well in the case as well as tops/bottoms can fall off. Is that true?
[One (M8) Accessories] aaron130:
It was a little loose but not that bad at all, so what I did, was I bought 3 of those FULL 90% off full body Xtreme Guardz(Posted in this section) and put them on(Front and back) and the case is actually nice and snug now! Actually It is hard to take it off,lol. But not really hard but with the protectors on the case fits extremely well!!
[One (M8) Accessories] Tazz.:
Oh, I was thinking of going for a Nilkin screen protector that's why. Will the case still fit since I'm getting a screen protector only?
[One (M8) Accessories] aaron130:

[One (M8) Accessories] aaron130:
Oh ya!! I had it on without the protector the first few days and it was fine, the only reason I put the full protector on was because I got 3 of them for $2.75, lol!! That's 3 FULL PROTECTORS for under $3!!! Crazy.
[One (M8) Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
this was exactly I did, really hard to take off. I found the case too slippery so for now I purchased a dot view case; and find it okay

[One (M8) Accessories] aimfire72:
Oh man, I got this case at Verizon last week and returned it. I didn't think the fit was good at all. Maybe it was just the end caps being a little loose, but the phone itself felt loose in the case. I can just imagine those caps flying off the first time you drop it. It's too bad, I was really excited to get this case.

It's my favourite case but my phone rattles around in it as the fit is not snug. I'm thinking about how to fix it.
[One (M8) Accessories] L Win:
I had the same problem with the loose fit. It wasn't bad but just loose enough to bother me. I figured out the problem was due to the end caps not having enough pressure to fit snugly with the middle piece. I fixed the problem by placing scotch tape (3 pieces thick) on the back of the phone where the two end caps meet the middle piece. Now the case feels nice and tight.

Hope this helps.
[One (M8) Accessories] Batfink33:
Yeah, I've fixed it by putting blu tack in the gap causing the rattle. It's fine now :)

Find your ROM in this collection and flash that. First restore the ROM backup in twrp recovery then flash the stock recovery (fond in same the same thread) in fastboot.

If you need to, remove Tampered logo from bootloader:

You should double check this as this is my first HTC phone that I'll be rooting so I don't have a lot of experience with s-off/s-on. From what I've read people say you shouldn't go back to s-on if s-off due to risk of bricking so be careful. Make sure you know what you're doing.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewnelson:
Yes it avoid warranty.

Will the store accept it back if it is S-OFF, though? Do they even check?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
I'm not sure man. I returned mine to T-Mobile for the speaker grill problem and they didn't even turn it on. I'd probably return it to fully stock just in case HTC looks at it. I don't know why turning s-on back on is a risk. You might wanna ask around before doing it. Ask in the locking bootloader thread I linked maybe they can help you

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
Ok, now i'm really confused.

I'm currently on 757 firmware and I want to flash the GPe on it. What exactly do I have to do?

LordManhattan's thread simply requires me to flash some files but the GPe thread needs me to flash boot.img or something.

Can anyone coach me step by step? I've never tried to flash a darn phone with so many prerequisites... It was so much easier playing with the LG and hTc :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
From stock 757 with unlocked bootloader:

Copy ROM zip to sdcard of phone

Flash boot.img from the ROM zip using flashtool and fastboot mode. the boot.img will have recovery already in it

Boot the phone into recovery, vol + or - while booting

Factory reset (or format data and wipe caches

Flash the ROM zip from recovery

Reboot into system

I assume you have followed lordmanhattan's guide and have:

Downgraded

Rooted

Backed up TA

Unlocked bootloader

Updated firmware to the latest
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
So it is okay to directly downgrade from 757?

And what do you mean by updated firmware to the latest?

And the boot.img in the ROM package, does it already contain the recovery?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You want to downgrade to root? if so then yes - see my downgrade sticky thread in the general section for a guide

After rooting/backing up TA/unlocking bootloader you will want to flash the latest firmware again to get the new baseband, and a few other things else any custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM's won't boot and/or will have IMEI issues
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
Erm, actually i want to downgrade so that i can flash this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608708
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
Ok now im trying to downgrade it. Do i downgrade to .532 or .290 first?

What things should i exclude? I see quite a few options in Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
OK im in trouble. I did not exclude anything while downgrading and now my phone cannot access any mobile networks.

What the hell should i do now?

OK IGNORE THIS LOL. FIXED IT WITH SUS
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
Ok to be honest, im trying to flash that ROM because the recent 757 firmware was supposed to fix the sound bug issue. It worked for others' ZU except for mine. Pretty pissed that all SONY said to me was to bring my phone down for a repair, hence i was hoping i could fix it by flashing another ROM.

I downgraded to .532 then updated it back to 757. Seems like it is a hardware problem...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
WOW. I'M AN IDIOT. I DECIDED TO WASH MY PHONE UNDER THE TAP BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DIRTY. AND SOMEHOW, THAT FIXED THE SOUND BUG. SOMEONE PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE.

Close this thread please, I'm an idiot. Thanks blueether for your help!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You don't read very well do you?

All the steps needed were there with an explanation of why (where needed).

Next time you you need/want to flash your ZU take the time to read the steps, and ask questions if you aren't sure about a step or why some said to do something a certain way or to see a certain thread...

ps good to see you have the sound working again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
But just to confirm, does all boot.img definitely contains the recovery also?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
No. Only custom (CM11, PA, PAC, GPe etc.) and modified ROMs (DoggROM, Monx etc.)

Sent fra min C6833 via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] matthewsucks:
So am I right to say that the boot.img from the GPe rom in the development forum already contains the recovery?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Correct, but only the tweaked version. That's an isolated case though, so the rest of them will have recovery.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ishaang:
Hi...I'm in the same position as you...can you please explain how exactly you managed to fix it?

For reference, my C6802 was on stock .757 firmware, then I flashed the unofficial SlimKat rom and kernel from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712065. Everything works in the rom except it doesnt connect to my mobile network.

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Not the same issue ( or at least shouldn't be).

In about phone settings do you have a valid imei no. and baseband?

Have you tried any other ROMs?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ishaang:
Thanks for the response blueether! In the phone settings it says Unknown for both baseband and imei. I found this thread where you helped another person with almost the same problem I guess, (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738141) and you have told him to follow these steps:

"Just do as has been said a thousand times...

Downgrade to .532 - see my downgrade thread

Root using either [NUT]'s dual recovery or bin4ries tool - see thread in step above or LordManhattans guide

Backup the TA - see LordManhattons guide

Upgrade to latest FTF

Unlock bootloader

Root using jackies099's kernel

..."

So I'm downloading a .532 FTF and will try out these steps once the download finishes in a while. As I understand, when I upgrade to the latest FTF (.757 now?) the imei/baseband should return.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
IMEI/baseband should be fine if you were on 757 and flashed slim.

You could just try reflashing any 4.4 FTF you have laying around while you wait for the other one to download
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ishaang:
Not sure why they vanished. Unfortunately I'm sort of a noob and don't have any FTFs lying around. I read some more threads and now I'm wondering what I should try first?

A - Flash 290 FTF then downgrade to 532

or

B - Straightaway flash 532 FTF

or

C - Flash 757 FTF
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
"flash 290" was written a long time ago when it was the 'current' firmware. I would flash 757 first and see how that works out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
Which recovery are you using? If TWRP, I would back up any contents on your Internal Storage and do an advanced wipe where you wipe all except for External SD card and USB OTG three times. Then try to reinstall the ROM and see if you can get any further. If the same message appears, try backing up the contents of your external SD card and do a format when connected to a computer. Copy the contents back and retry the ROM flash.
