I get the point that they were making just makes me mad when they harass and then start making threats it's an open base community but yet there is no freedom lol its OK though there is about 400 or more people on here that try to steal peoples work and they never do crap about it as a matter a fact I am pretty sure the only thing they got rid of that was doing that was BAM! which went on to doing big things lol makes no sense

I was a mod at another site. Unfortunately there are a lot of rules on self promotion. Just the way it is. At least people can still PM you about your business. That is allowed. Unfortunately so is free speech!! Trolls and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Yeah, I got involved with BAM Rom early on. I was testing for two Devs that got into a pissing contest and one of them wound up banned from XDA.

They can get pretty strict at times.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I dont want you to get upset with me. I am not going against you or what you can do. I am very thankful for your efforts and your knowledge toward something I cant do. I am not necessarily siding with the moderators, but the do a pretty solid job here.

XDA is an open source community, for folks to share. I have seen them draw the line when it comes to someone selling their services. Donations I have thought were always a fine line, but then again, they are like a tip (not required). Bounties are another thing, but that is money offered for a service, but not everyone is required to participate in order to benefit.

Getting mad is not going to be the solution, dont escalate it to the point of no return. I understand if this is a money issue due to your medical situation, but with your talent, there are other venues or pathways.

As far as Bam goes......from what I understand he has had a fall from grace. Many including myself followed him and joined his site. Soon after it seems his head got a little swelled and full of himself. Started losing some of people working with him. I think I even saw him smoking dope on his video forums. Needless to say, he is no longer the flavor of the month.

Dont follow his path.

I dont beleive moderators are going to tell you to stop advertising your accomplishments or even if you were to create a banner advertising "Hopsin Better than Anybody Development Team". It is your offering discounts which is suggesting you are selling services.

Please dont take this the wrong way, just trying to offer a 3rd person point of view and express my respect for you and all other that do what I cant. Everything else will get worked out.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
Oh trust me I'm not mad at all buddy like I said I view there point everything is all good

Actually all members agreed to abide by the forum rules posted at the top of each forum to remain a member of this private site. If you notice there are about 5.7 million members and about 100,000 posts every day. There are about 100 moderators, all volunteer that rely on members to report rule violations that they see so that this is the place for developers to want to be. No one is reading every single post. If you are seeing all these "troll posts" and are not helping by reporting rule violations then you really have no right to complain as you are not doing anything to help.

This is not a site to make money. It doesn't matter whether you are a new user or a Senior Recognized Developer...the rules apply to all. If you have any more complaints about the site or the moderation here you can PM me...that goes for any one here.

My phone is showing an update available...should be 4.4.2. Is anyone planning to update?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Teyshablue:
It is and I did. I don't notice much difference yet. The default app manager is a nice addition. No update to touchwiz. I was kinda hoping for the version the S5 is sporting.

One thing I have noticed is it borked the text-reflow in Dolphin browser. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinfox:
Were you able to root with kingo?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Teyshablue:
I haven't tried yet...probably won't until we have a working recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinfox:
I haven't been notified of an update. Maybe because I'm rooted idk... I would be afraid to update lest Knox dig it's fangs deeper into the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] deadpigeons:
You probably have to force the update
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
I'm rooted and I didn't force the update......it just started!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jadariahenley:
Please advise us other users of your region I am in Florida and tried forcing the update and it is saying that the software is up to date so im just wondering if certain areas will be receiving the update and not all the devices at once
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
NE Florida.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
im in Michigan im not getting any update either. im wondering if this is because it's a at&t phone running on t mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jadariahenley:
That's odd I am also in the NE area of Florida Jasper to be exact and I was not notified of the update but I purchased the phones from At&t in Sarasota so that's odd to me
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] deadpigeons:
Looks like at&t beat you to getting kitkat on the sghi527
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jadariahenley:
Thats odd I am in the NE area if Florida and did not receive a notification for a update Jasper to be exact but im not running on At&t network I have AIO which is Cricket now so maybe that is the reason we have not been notified of the update yet if not im sure it will be on Kies soon enough and we will be able to update that way
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] deadpigeons:
I'm on net10 and I was able to update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alarmguy48195:
I just checked manually and the update is available for me. I'm 20 minutes south of Detroit.

I checked at 9:40pm est.

I'm on at&t

I didn't take the update as I don't want to lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Apologies to Hopsin....didn't mean to hijack this thread.

Evidently root will kill the update. After waiting on that slow ass d/l......the install failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jadariahenley:
Yeah no disrespect to you hopsin I apologize as well

Damn, sorry too. I wasn't even thinking, got caught up in the excitement.

Its all good guys it exciting news I'm just hoping nothing changed the bootloader that is my main concern..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
thanks hopsin for all your work u are very appreciated!! oh and I forgot to mention I did get the update to start showing up after trying to update and it not showing up I said I had like 21 hours left before it could check again but I went and changed the date on my phone to the next day and it started showing an update but I got update interrupted twice while trying to download.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
Try rebooting the phone after you change the date and then download again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] deadpigeons:
i reset the whole phone. unrooted and still nothing. still trying...hoping i didnt do all that for no reason lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
I did that I still get download interrupted, I did not try to unroot I think i'll juss give it a few days see if somethings else comes around 4 me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
ummmm...... @ hopsin....I'm not sure what this means........I updated to kitkat and tried to restore root with voodoo. That was a no go. I expected that. Then I redownloaded supersu. Still would not root.....I expected that too. So then I tried to root with latest Kingo. Several times.....

Then my Mega rebooted with a BIG unlock picture!!!!! The pick of an open lock.... with Custom next to it. I seem to think that is an unlocked bootloader!!!!!

Anyone please respond if this is correct???? I am not rooted. Supersu says I am still unrooted...

I just got rebooted and I get the unlocked picture saying I am Custom!!!! As far as I am concerned, this is an unlocked bootloader. My Galaxy nexus acted just the same.

What did I do????? Also I just followed the stock download of kitkat via OTA with ATT. Why is Custom noted????
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
That just means you are rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
No Parrothead.....I am not rooted. Anytime I have seen this pic means the bootloader is unlocked.

I will check with rootchecker....but supersu says I am unrooted. I am still a little confused.... a little knowledge.....dangerous...etc...

Rootchecker says I am not rooted.

**********************************

I hate that it is 5:49 in the am and most of america in the eastern timezone is sleeping!!! What are you doing up Parrothead?

I will be going to sleep till about noon. Will check back then! I am still backwards due to my senile dog that passed 2 weeks ago ( Sasha- at 17 yrs old- MOD take note dogs are very special to me) and my dental work giving me trouble!!!!

***************************************************

I also feel pretty stupid staring at a page and forgetting to refresh it. Would love a computer that automatically refreshes your pages!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Mine has always shown "Custom" with the open lock, ever since I rooted it but the bootloader is still locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alarmguy48195:
Just rebooted, my phone shows Samsung galaxy mega, then boots to the at&t splash screen and jingle, then to the normal home screen. I don't have the lock (open or not).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Interesting......the only time I remember the distinction of the locked vs. unlocked pic was with unlocking the bootloader on my galaxy nexus.

Don't remember having to unlock any other bootloader..... Went from the infuse, to the nexus, to the Note i717, to the Mega.

Rooting did not affect the boot image. At least from what I remember.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
That's because those other devices didn't have locked bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Keeping fingers crossed for something to test!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 903tex:
Once you give yourself developer mod (by tapping on the build number seven times) it changes the bootloader screen to say custom.... I don't know why when nothing really custom about it....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alarmguy48195:
I've done the "developer" mod and my phone doesn't show custom
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Not sure if I did the build tap thing or not......Probably did before the update when I did root. But I know that that unlocked "custom" screen was never there before.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
Got nothing to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
So capt, you have any thoughts on my bootscreen? see my post #389 for a screenshot.

Nevermind----I just add the pic here:p

Also, just checked my odin mode- my knox is NOT tripped. Still says 0x0.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 903tex:
Every time I've done that my bootloader has changed to custom when I unselect it it goes back to normal so how does it not have to do with it?

Using my mega that's not rooted and it does just that
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I thought I had read somewhere (safetystrap or root bounty thread) that once you root, you would see that screen. Obviously not so true. I had only seen it once or twice and you arent rooted.

How do you unactivate your developer options?????

I always have developer options activated. Not sure how you unpress the button 7 times. Again, I have only see the unlock once or twice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Go to Developer Options.....the button in the top right corner.....turn it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
My mega wants to update to the newest update available, should I let it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alarmguy48195:
Others have reported that the update fails on rooted phones. If it did work you would lose root, I confirmed with kingo that their app will not work with kitkat.

you also run the risk of locking the phone down even more with knox.

obviously it's your phone to do with as you please, but if it were me , I'd wait until there is a custom recovery for our phones first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
Thanks for a quick response, but my thoughts are on par with your suggestions, I'll wait and try to hold off with the self downloading update that's so intrusive, I've tried to block it with titanium but as soon as I connect to wifi it immediately wants to download the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jrocx:
You cannot install the new update if rooted or ever been rooted...unless you install the stock firmware but you'll have to wipe your device clean. (Backup)

The new update comes with some cool features such as emoji's, tabbed browsing has a new look, and you get album art on your lock screen while playing music. (These are just a few things I've noticed.) I've also noticed better performance (no lag at all) and better battery life. I'd give it a try, you can always revert back to 4.2.2 via kies.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
The lock on boot screen is a random thing I have nonidea what exactly it has to do with cause it has done it with me rooted unrooted and also with USB debug checked
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
Its extremely difficult I work on the Galaxy s3 bootloader when Knox was implemented into 4.3 I have a very very very very good knowledge of this kind of work I have been doing it for a very very long time you are definitely correct that this thread got WAY out of control but that's just not one persons fault that's all the people that decided to voice an ignorant opinion about things there is a few people out there already that are running a wrong time on there i527 and has been reported to be working great again I have no idea what happened and why all the sudden it did not work on others phones if you look through the threads there has people that flashed it when I first put it up through Odin that got it to work I am one of them as well people also have to keep in mind that people have lives and can't always be on XDA 24 7 with updates and reports and knowledge sharing if someone would like to make a new thread mine and take their hand at it completely fine with me I will still work on mine and I still will have something presented soon

Today my Note 3 got soft bricked. I'm stuck on the boot screen. I need to make a choice if I'm going to give hope to the Mega or I should wait for the Note 4 as a replacement. If no significant progress will show for this phone then I'll migrate to the Note.

Thanks to all cooperating in this project.

Why is this phone listed in the development section if it has no development like the variants?
