Hey Monfro

Can you port over the latest Spirit Rom when you get a chance. Version 1.5 i think it is.

Thank again for everything your doing to keep our captivates alive.
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Thanks again for posting/updating these for us! I actually updated the Mackay Rom to the latest 4.9.13 (11-Oct-2014) myself and enjoy it very much.Youtube is not working but I will try flashing another Gapps package maybe. Also, do you have a kernel in the thread that has Philz recovery? I made a backup of Omni with Philz before flashing Mackay. may need it someday.
[Captivate Android Development] Monfro:
Maybe in the next days...I have also to port other roms that were updated.

In my little free time I have prepared something different, maybe I will make a separate thread for it when it is uploaded.

Anyway, since KK source is out from a year, I think there are not changes too big in last weeks.

Sorry, no kernels with Philz recovery compatible with KK4.4.x

Maybe you can flash one for I9000, restore the backup, then flash a Captivate kernel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mike Boogie:
Maybe someone with a little experience with Sprint and their trickery can help me out with this...

Story time:

It is around upgrade time for 2 of the 3 devices on my account. (EVO LTE & ZTE Tablet) Around the middle of last year, my wife upgraded to an HTC One (M7) and she has been *****ing non-stop about how much she HATES it. The Mrs. is not a power user in any way, but she lives, breathes, and will probably die with that phone in her clutches because she uses it to run her business. (Real Estate)

I want to rid myself of this tablet that is not being used in any matter at this time and also get my wife a new device to complain about.

So, IF I upgrade my 2 eligible devices (Evo and tablet) to maybe 2 shiny M8's... How difficult would it be to swap the lines from the existing M7 to one of the new M8s.

I asked one of the GENIUSES at an Sprint reseller store and he told me it can't be done. I call BS due to back when I worked for a Sprint authorized retailer (RadioHut back in the stone ages) an ESN swap took 2 mins.

Can someone give me some insight to plan this attack...?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
First and foremost, never go to a Sprint store. They're clueless. Personally, I would call Sprint @ #611 I think and explain your situation. They should be able to help you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mike Boogie:
Thank you for your input. I will contact them in the morning and report my findings...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] olofob:
Hello Community!!

I have come to this website for answers for years leading back to my Fascinate on the Telus network. I have rooted, flashed and used Odin to fix my phones pretty regularly. I have messed up on my Note 2 i317. I'm facing a soft brick right now, and need the stock rom from Telus. The issue I have right now, is that the 2 sites I was able to find it at (including all of the sites that link to them) is not downloading. Rapidgator is showing that it will take 3 days to download, while Sammmobile is taking an hour or two before erroring out on the back end.

What I am hoping for, is that one of the many members of this site would happen to have the file hosted somewhere, or know of a secret link that I can use. I have been on this bricked device going on 4 days now. I have been using an....iphone 4s....:crying:. I know, it's terrible.

If someone would be able to help me out, I would be very grateful.

Thanks a bunch!!

Ryan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KritikSS:
The fact that your service provider is Telus suggests that you're not American, thus you should be able to flash back to stock using Kies. Emergency recovery will ask for the model and serial #, and then should recover your phone back to stock for you.

Also, just a suggestion. Be a little more direct with what you are looking for next time. I almost didn't read your entire post simply because it was drawn out.

i have installed some roms. when i install for the first time, battery time is good. but whenever charge my s3 for the second time battery drains faster.

Lastly, i installed ArchiDroid V1.7.15. Standby time was more than perfect. on avarage usage, 3,5 days

But after i charge it for the second time, battery drains faster

what is my fault?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr3y29:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosphor:
Are you on a cm or Touchwizz rom ?

Personally, my method for having a pretty good battery life is like this :

- After you flash your rom let the battery get empty and then charge it to the max without have it on, just plugged in.

- Repeat this method for at least 2 times and then you will get a good average of what the battery life looks like on this rom.

Keep in mind that each rom have different battery life, because of all the tweaks and optimizations that the developers add to it.

And also, don't forget that AOSP rom ( CyanogenMod, ParanoidRom, etc... ) are slightly less under the official samsung rom in terms of battery life. That's why a large number of people prefer official samsung rom instead of the AOSP one.

I think that everyone does have your problem actually ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draligus:

i am on ArchiDroid V1.7.15 rom

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woowhee:
I just downloaded PowerAmp (love it so far) and am also continuing to use Viper4Android. Is there anything I should know about -- things to avoid, tips, etc.? For instance, is it OK to use both equalizers at the same time?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Why would you want to use both the equalizers at the same time?? :eek: The sound will surely be not up to the mark! Use the V4A FIREequalizer!

If you are having problems with PowerAmp, you first need to do this: Go to PowerAmp Settings - Audio - Advanced Tweaks. Now disable Direct Volume Control and enable Music FX!

If you have any more concerns about V4A, you need to read the official thread : xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

and the Nexus 5 thread: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/viper4android-t2543796

Everything's been explained clearly!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duarian:
When you install V4A direct volume control is now 'non supported' by default (at least on the latest slimkat).

Enabling musicfx did nothing for me (I left it on anyway).

V4A did not work in compatibility mode for me, I had to run it in 'normal' mode, and turn the poweramp EQ off, so far everything is working good. I can't really tell a difference when I switch preset settings on the equalizer though..so that might not actually be working for me :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamild_:
I was having problems as well, Poweramp didn't want to cooperate with V4A. What I noticed is that Poweramp was still using Android's default equalizer so what I've done is I disabled MusicFX app and reboot the phone. Poweramp started using V4A thanks to that :)

[HTC One X] niftycalls:
Hi Experts,

i am posting after a very long time.

So i have an Orange version of HTC one X which i had rooted .

i however didnt install a custom ROM.

Now since i use my phone to access office emails, the team wanted me to unroot my device.

i checked on google and the easiest way was to delete some SU files from bin folder, and delete Superuser.apk.

i did delete the files, however was unable to delete the .apk file.

i relocked my bootloader.

i still get error messages from my office security system that my system is rooted.

i really want your step by step help to remove the SU without losing any data, or factory reste.. HELP!!
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
ok tried everythng .. cant get this to work.. guys i need this real bad.. my email access has been barred.

Though mu bootloader says Relocked, and root checker says tht i do no have root, i am unable to get rid of Super SU, and an app installed by my office (Mass360) says that i cannot receice email as my device is rooted :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] u4icpain:
Well guys it was a windy day in Chicago and a paper bag hit me in the face and I dropped my phone. My s4 has the MDK bootloader, and after research and it seems that if I send my phone in to samasung I'm sure I'm I'm sure to get a locked bootloader back- m_k 2 version or other. The glass facture is minimal and is not interfere with the digitizer and has not discolored anything on lcd/ amolded screen. The phone functions perfectly.

I don't want to send it to Samsung for glass replacement because they'll give me a locked bootloader. Ive heard at least.

Ive researched and the front glass is extremely difficult to replace without damaging the digitizer apparently n hard not to pull up the LCD which would cause me to have to buy the whole screen replacement digitizer and LCD included. 200 bucks.

Option a: send the phone to samsung for a screen replacement 200 bucks risk getting a locked bootloader.

Option b: replace the phone to my phone insurance possibly get a locked bootloader.

Replace the front glass myself and if I mess up about $200 and have to get a whole new LCD and then hope I can connect it.

Anyone ever replaced front glass before and the s4? The Loca glue way

Advise anyone?

This is a longshot but is it possible for me to create a boot image of my bootloader an odin it back via some workaround... if I get a new phone?

Or I could just live with the cracks in the screen but I'm afraid it's going to get worse. Front glass is $7 on amazon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcbeat257:
Reply

Okay I have had this before. If you want to make it so it doesn't seem like it has been rooted at least, I recommend you either do a no wipe or a full wipe with odin, and that should remove the root and everything to stock firmware. The only reason samsung does that is that you have your phone rooted, but with this, you may have a chance in becoming undetectable. This fix is extremely easy if you follow the instructions.

You can find this fix on the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209

Also, if they reject that, the only possible workaround is going to a shop and replacing the glass or to go to the Verizon store and probably get a new phone or have to pay 300 dollars for another one.

Let me know if this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Option 4:

There are companies that replace the screen for not much more than the deductible from Verizon.

Google "smartphone repair" for your area.

I would not send it in to Verizon or Samsung for repair.

There is no guarantee you will get the same device back.

Also your long shot won't work.

If it would work, there would not be the people lamenting over how to unlock a bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
At what angle did the paper bag hit your face?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yes, yes, that's just plain science.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] u4icpain:
I will just say it took me few moments to realize it was a paper bag not a throwing star wielded by a ninja. We have some ninja problems in Chicago here.

I do appreciate the help guys , one more question I know my warranty is void by rooting my phone however in the past I have just odin back to stock firmware before sending it to insurance to replace . If I tried to replace the screen myself, would that also void any physical damage warranty cuz I opened the phone up myself? basically what I'm asking is if I took my phone apart would it be easy for them to tell if I mess up the screen replacement right?

This is my only worry because I know they don't really check flash counters but I'm thinking they would able to see if its been tampered with...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Warranty will be void if you try removing the screen yourself and if you mess it up, obviously depending on how exactly you mess it up, they'll definitely be able to tell. That's the risk of the time/money saved by doing it yourself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim77327:
I have a pretty good idea for an invention and I need some help or advice about developing an android os to run one of the parts to this invention.

Yes just flash using flashtool. As it's official it will work perfectly with a locked bootloader.

I have downloaded the file posted in this thread and would want to know what exactly can be the cons of flashing it?

will i lose any DRM keys or X reality or anything by doing that or is it totally safe?.

Also if i backup all my data using sony's backup app, would I be able to restore it after flashing the Generic file.
[Xperia Z2 General] iRimas:
As far as i know its totally Safe. after you flashing if you think something will go wrong you can use PCC and repair as well . it means it is safe to flash . you wont loose anything.

Debranding an Zperia Z2

There is something wrong with this file linked (D6503_17.1.A.2.55_EURO_LTE.ftf), it may be corrupt. I flashed it to my Xperia Z2 to de-brand from EE but it sent it into a boot loop instead of restarting. I Managed to get flash tool to work in debug mode again by by plugging in the usb cable and flashed D6503_23.5.A.0.570_RU.ftf which I found on the net as a generic uk Android marshmallow 6.0.1 update and all was well again. After that the next update came from Xperia Companion updating software in the normal way. It is possible that I did something wrong. If you are debranding a UK Z2 just find the latest Marshmallow 6.0.1 update file (D6503_17.1.A.2.55_EURO_LTE.ftf) and flash it to your phone . You don't need to unlock the boot loader of need to root the phone. I'm too new to the forum it won't let me post links to the marshmallow files sorry you will have to find them yourself.

Instructions here:

Pre-requisites

Download and install Flashtool

Enable USB Debugging on phone. Head over to Settings>> Developer options

Enable Unknown sources on the phone by navigating to Settings>> Security

Steps to Debrand Sony Xperia Z2

Step-1: Ensure that you have installed all necessary drivers for Sony Xperia Z2 on the computer. You may do this by installing PC Companion or Sony Update Services (SUS)

Also connect the Xperia Z2 to the computer before starting the process to download USB and ADB drivers. You will find the necessary drivers once Flashtool is installed in the following location, C:Flashtooldrivers

Step-2: Download the following FTF file, which will debrand Xperia Z2

Download link: Xperia Z2 D6503 Generic UK 17.1.A.2.55 (1282-0226)

This is UK generic firmware and will work on any D6503 model and provide several language options. You may download FTF link according to your region

Step-3: Move the downloaded FTF file in C:Flashtoolfirmwares folder

Step-4: Open Flashtool on the computer (Click on the lightning bolt symbol and select Flashmode then click OK

Step-5: Select the downloaded firmware in the left column.

Note: If you want to keep all existing apps and date, ensure that Data is not selected. Press the Flash button

Step-6: You should see Flashtool is "Preparing files for sharing"

When the prompt appears, connect the Xperia Z2 to the computer and switch off the phone. Press and hold Volume Down button while plugging the USB cable into the phone

Step-7: The installation process should begin now

Step-8: When the 'Flashing finished' message appears in Flashtool, remove the phone from the computer and restart it. This process will take a few minutes

That's it. The Xperia Z2 should now be debranded to UK generic firmware.
