[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Gage_Hero:
Depends where you are trying to get to..... if you are not rooted on 4.3 and just want to go to 4.4.2, I would just use Kies. If you are rooted and want to go to 4.4.2 then yes this looks like the right method. Things to concider are.... do you want to be able to go back to 4.3 at anytime is so, you really shouldn't use this method as I believe it is going to update your bootloader which means no going back... If you intend on rooting anyway, I would suggest using CF- auto root, added a custom recovery and flashing Mapleleaf rom..... plus the NC1 modem... this is mostly stock, you will have root access and retain the 4.3 bootloader should you want to revert back to 4.3.......this will trip you Knox so if you want to keep warrenty well this isn't a good way to go either... unless of course you have already tripped it...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SCH-R760.

What happened: Tried to update phone from standard IceCreamSandwich to Jelly Bean via Samsung provided SimpleUpgradeTool. Very new to flashing phones, forgot to check model number, first attempt failed. Eventually got the right one (difficult to do with my model apparently), and the mobile network wouldn't work. Was told to reset APN, could not find it anywhere in the system.

Got fed up and decided to revert back to original OS, which failed. Waited overnight (it was late) with the phone off. Found the right file (just going to go back to Jelly Bean), however whenever I attempted to get into recovery mode it told me there was not enough power and to charge the phone. Phone was plugged in, this happened a couple of times. Now after the phone has been plugged in for well over 3 hours I cannot get the phone to power on or anything, it absolutely will not respond. Attempted to use Kies, will not recognize my phone model and is waiting for the phone to be connected anyway. When plugged in (trying/using various different cords) I have a little faint blue light flashing in the top left corner of the phone (not the phone screen).

The phone has been in excellent condition up until this point, and I have little reason to believe that my battery just suddenly went 100% bad after showing no signs of decay in recent weeks. Any suggestions?

How did you try to revert? But kind of sounds like it might be hard bricked. If you can't get get into Download mode by Vol Down and Power and it isn't charging not even sure if this would work: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-usb-jig-faq-frequently-questions-t1402286

But unless you try another battery or something like that jig, and it does not power up to any screen, then your only hope would be a JTAG service. I recommend these guys:

Just a quick default gain conf I adjusted. The others weren't working so I adjusted it myself and it worked.

LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6q72cvi9954vb0r/default_gain.conf

It will be changed to 60 instead of the standard 50-55 which is a huge difference

Go to System/Etc and just paste it in there and overwrite the existing file and then change the permissions to what the others files are.

Nothing difference, you can say Advantage. With the sound boost tool you have four stages of sound boost option- stock, medium, high and extreme. Just flash and keep the good for you and you can switch one from another so easily. You don't need to edit default gain again and again for changes.

Hello there,

My new Samsung Galaxy S5 [SM-G900L] just came in.

It wanted to install custom recovery from TWRP so I could make a backup of my Stock Rom and afterwards could install custom Roms, but there doesn't seem to be any support for the G900L.

I'm quite new here, but is it possible someone can help me with this? So that TWRP will aslo provide support to the G900L.

I'm willing to sent al the necessary files. But you'll have to gide me trough it.

Sorry for the very long delay. I only got this mobile last month. I am able to install TWRP recovery by using TWRP manager after rooting (Although his device is not supported officially, the recovery image for the international version (SM-G900F) works really fine. I also successfully flash CyanogenMod (both View attachment 3536028 and View attachment 3536027) recovery images using odin.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachin7825:
I have tried many times to use TWRP recovery on G900Lmodel but with no success.

I always end up with "COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT".

Also I need one help, I was trying to use this Custom ROM "Insanity S7 edge port", I again get the same message " COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT".

Someone told me it's the kernel problem and i have to flash stock kernel after flashing ROM zip. But the thing is I don't have the stock kernel.

Please help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilpaulmathew:
TWRP for kltelget (SM-G900L) is available here. You can also use the TWRP for klte (SM-G900F). The details are available in my xda thread (latest version is not tested). You can boot most Phoenix kernel (I hope Insanity too) based ROMs by either flashing the stock ROM boot.img or a custom boot.img sited in my another xda thread located here (check second post).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachin7825:
Thank you sunil

I tried the recoveries that you are suggesting, both of them, klte and klteskt from the twrp site.

It seems to work on every other device but mine.

Can't figure what I am doing wrong.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilpaulmathew:
Not sure abt the latest versions. can you try the one (klte) linked in my xda thread. and hope ur device is rooted properly...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachin7825:
yes i will try them, I hope they work on latest MM.

And yes the device is rooted properly with latest CFautoroot for G900L, I even checked it with Root Checker basic.

Anyways, I don't have any special liking for TWRP, I wanted it to flash stock boot.img to make the Insanity ROM work.

I am ok with CWM recovery, but I was told it could not flash .img file and I am not equipped to make my own flashable zip form boot.img.

But now I am planning to use your modded boot.img for Phoneix based MM custom ROMs. I hope that will work.

Btw thank you so much...I checked both of your threads...They are awesome....you seem to be lone warrior for these Korean variants. Not much support elsewhere.

Really appreciate your efforts!!!!

Keep up the good work.

Finally..

Thank you so much!!!

Also I tried your kernel with Insanity ROM and it works perfect.!!!

You will have to DE compile the system apks and change all the layouts to use different colors. It's only about15 hours of work.

Bat cave One
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Or you just use xposed framework :) There are awesome modules e.g. HkThemer, ExThemer and so on. Full layout change on the fly is possible in 15minutes without decompiling anything. As the modules are really great you could also spend 15hours if you want to try every theme available.

And keep in mind not believing everything found on the internet lol :P
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Depending on the depth of the changes, Xposed will not be able to change all of it. Not to mention depending on the rom Xposed may cause issues.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
For sure is recompiling the changed system components more professional :) But for coloring the system and most common apps xposed will totally do it and I really like it because you can disable it at any time via recovery without fearing to brick your phone due to the recent changes :)

Everyone retains root. You have to be rooted to install it and the rom is already rooted.

It's really good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmco:
If you want the already rooted 4.4, I'm pretty darn sure you MUST use safestrap. Otherwise, you are stuck with the un-rooted leak.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
Yeah. Safestrap and the rooted leak is the only way to go.

I see what he is asking now. Has anyone who was running rooted 4.3 taken an official OTA update to kit kat and retained root.. Seeing as the official kit kat OTA on Verizon hasn't happened yet, nobody can say.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcbusch:
Yes this is exactly what I am asking. Thanks

I like the phone the way it is and have tweaked a few things with xposed and so I want to keep root. However if there is a wonderful new feature on 4.4 that I can't live without then I might need to figure out 4.4 root.

For now I am just going to freeze the update service.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
Actually the official OTA is probably going to be very bad and we may not be able to do as much with it. May not even get root. The leaked version is tweaked for performance, and already rooted, and has some features that would never be in an official release. I highly recommend you go ahead with it and forget about trying to be the only guy on here that wants to wait for the official leak and possibly loose root in the process. You won't get much help rooting it when everybody is already on a rooted kit kat. Nobody is going to waste time with it.

He's talking about taking the OTA from rooted 4.3 with an app such as Root Keeper.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcbusch:
From what I read a while ago Root Keeper does not work with 4.3. I checked and that is still the case. I can only assume it also would not work for 4.4.

I did read that SuperSU has a preserve root function. I think somewhere else I read you temp unroot then preserve root. After taking the OTA you enable root again.

Something like this.

The leaked version is a gold mine! It allows you to go back to 4.3 at any time via odin where as the official will not allow this. I am currently running leaked version and it is flawless.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seatacman:
Here's my situation followed by a question...

I have the latest firmware and have read so much literature on how to convert from Sense to GPe. I have S-OFF, unlocked, no warming, 1.56 hboot, ARHD 62 (which is amazing) but I am really interested in going to GPe.

After reading many threads, digging all over XDA, and the web. Here's what I have learned.

1- Some threads say that I have to do the RUU before I can convert to GPe

2- Some have written if you have S-OFF and are unlocked, you can just flash GPe without the RUU step

My question, I currently have ARHD 62, can I just flash ARHD 6.1 or another GPe ROM as long as I do a full wipe, or must I first do the RUU step?

I am confused...

As for applications, I feel confident that there are .apk for almost all the cool sense features, like the remote. But please correct me if I am wrong.

Please trust when I say I have read for days, if not months on this but I just would love to find an answer that would save me some anxiety.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Converting to a full GPE RUU has its problems too.. You will have to change CID/MID before running the RUU and if you decide its not for you, you will find it much harder to convert back to Sense.. So do as previous post said. Flash ARHD 6.1 GPE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seatacman:

That's true! I already have 111111111 I just did not want to be blowing up my time with a full conversion because I am just in an experimental phase.

Alright, this is a convoluted and awful process, but it works, and it is the only one we have right now.

If you already got 4.4.2 from the OTA or SBF, without using the method below. STOP none of this will work on your phone.

It is a 7 step process. Outline is as follows:

1. Download the 4.2.2 zip for your Moto X.

A. Go to Here. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0​

B. Download Android 4.2.2 Blur_Version.139.4.17.ghost_row.RepublicWireless.en.US​

C. Extract it.​

D. Flash the files with fastboot. Flash them all. Including bootloader and recovery.​

E. This will restore your phone to STOCK 4.2.2, hope you had backups.​

2. Root using RockMyMoto

A. http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/root-rockmymoto-yes-ota-t2509590​

3. Install the Tmobile XT1053 Safestrap

4. [kill write protection] MotoWpNoMo

C. Here is a mirror of the MotoWpNoMo, since his windows zip link is broken https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B67RS0BDBp_iajNtTGEtZ191Ykk/edit​

5. Download the 4.4.2 Safestrap flashable update.zip from one of the links below.

A. Mirror A: http://www.leetnet.net/update_SafeStrap_4.4.2_RW.zip​

B. Mirror B: TDB​

C. Mirror C: TDB​

D. Reboot into SafeStrap TWRP​

E. Delete any Slots you may have. They won't work anymore after this.​

F. Flash the update zip into the "Stock" slot.​

6. Download the 4.4.2 zip for your Moto X.

A. Go to Here. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0​

B. Download Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.165.44.12.ghost_row.RepublicWireless.en.US​

C. Extract it.​

D. STOP EVERYTHING AND READ THE NEXT PART CAREFULLY. YOU DON'T WANT TO SCREW THIS PART UP.​

E. LIKE SERIOUSLY, YOU WILL BRICK IT.​

F.​

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

G. NOTHING ELSE. DO NOT TOUCH THE OTHER FILES. ESPECIALLY LEAVE RECOVERY UNTOUCHED. The reason for this is that you won't be able to flash the 4.2.2 ever again without the 4.2.2

recovery, which means you would lose the ability to root, disable WP, or install safestrap.​

7. Download the SuperSU zip (or if you are Rashed97 and then you can do some CM crap :) )

A. http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip​

B. Flash this from TWRP, and it will "re-root" your 4.4.2​

Great new guide. ?

The only thing I think should be added, directly at the top of the OP...and in bold capital letters... ..is if you're already on 4.4.2.....stop reading.....and don't do any of this.. Lol

Unless something has changed, if they are already running 4 4.2.....and do step one, they could be on the road to trouble.

Please tho.....correct me if I'm wrong. :)
