Is 2.8.1.0 stable enough? My past experience was not so good. sometimes it get random reboot while flashing.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] meduza:
I`m using it since it's release and it's definitely stable!

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] albertusac:
You use the f2fs-compatible version?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] prototype74:
For me it's stable so far. I use the non-supported f2fs version. I made 3 nandroid backups without any random reboot :) I didn't flash a ROM with this version yet.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] koragg97:
2.8.1.0 is 100% stable. I've been using it since it launched and haven't had a single problem with it :)

I'm using the normal one (no F2FS).

About F2FS:

Make sure you downloaded TWRP marked as "-f2fs" to flash Android 4.4.4 Roms by Novafusion!

Can I use the F2FS version as ordinary recovery or do I need to flash the version without F2FS to flash Android without F2FS?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] albertusac:
Absolutely you can! :)

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartbeatek:
Hello

I own Ouya for the month but most of time I use it as media-box for TV (watching movies, etc)

I have already rooted it and installed play market but i hate the stock UI and obsolate android

I saw a video in youtube with CM11 and ouya (android 4.4) and started to google the solution

I already know that it is based on Eternity Project kernel.

I found the way to install bootloader http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114365-eternityproject-tpl-bootloader-for-ouya/ and it is clear

The next step is to install kernel http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1114362-eternityproject-kernel-3437-for-ouya-cpu-2ghz-gpu-650mhz/ but it is unclear for me about fastboot command

The next step as I understand is to install CM11 from the CWM

Is it possible to install KitKat without EP kernel?

So If someone have detailed steps or howto on installing CM11 on ouya please give it to this thread

Thanks in advance
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwitchyEye:
I think this is what you're looking for. I'm not sure the EP boot loader is compatible but I'm sure its mentioned in the thread somewhere. Or in the bootmenu thread anyway.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quepaso:
This is the order you need to go:

Upgrade to newest clockwork mod from milaq in your recovery.

Then install the failsafe bootloader.

Then install cm11 from the new recovery, along with gapps he posted in the same thread Make sure to wipe all the stock stuff.

Thats it.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHYSC-1:
Can you put that in a bit more laymans desperate for a guide,you say wipe all stuff,do i backup my ouya in recovery first do i erase every thing and how please?

Sorry to be a pain f@cked it up once and had to unbrick already spent 48hrs repairing my ouya and put a guide up on how on here,because nobody puts it laymans online for this.I downloaded all files ready to download folder mate.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quepaso:
Its hard to lay it out, you need to go to the threads where the info is already layed out.

Do you already have a custom recovery installed like clockwork? Great, then go to the failsafe thread to get a newer version of the recovery, and the failsafe installer. If you do not, you need to go to the custom recovery threads as there are multiple, and get any type of custom recovery installed. Then from there, install the newer custom recovery from the failsafe thread, then the failsafe itself from within the new custom recovery, then from there you can install cm11 using the cm11 thread following the instructions.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHYSC-1:
Just realized cwm is removed,can't install using oneclickrecovery tool either fails says cannot find img etcetc,yet its all there no problems adb is fine and works.Fastboot driver i can't get running although listed yellow exclamation,any ideas?

Fixed it managed to get fastboot going downloaded the required missing dll files and win_usb.inf set up and used ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 to rewrite recovery,found i can no longer add the newer 6.0.4.8 recovery zip in update from zip in 6.0.3.2 recovery though? Used to be able to do that. Any way tmore to the point is can someone tell me the step by step process to add cm11 firmware so i don't have to read a load of b@llocks that doesn't end up giving less than nothing in terms of having a clue how,someone in the thread writes about erasing stuff and what oreder but that doesn't tell you how to install or what erase process is or anything detailed and the net has exactly the same misguided tutorials on how to do it.Tellinng a newbie to erase stuff means they will erase all the wrong stuff in all fairness it's good to have a slightly better idea by reading that but it doesn't go in depth or step by step.

All i have found is sites pointing back to the xda pages that do not explain it,it's like your expected to know everything before you have been taught and fill in the gaps off the top of your head.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapperDMX:
Exactly what he said, I just did these same steps on a 3rd new ouya yesterday and it went off without a hitch. The cm11 thread is long but honestly all the information you need is in the first few posts. If you were able to connect the ouya to USB and run oneclickroot then you're ready to get started.

You probably did something wrong. This has worked flawlessly with my method. It happens!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aholeinthewor1d:
Yea to be honest I am a little confused on what exactly I need to do to downgrade and then also with safestrap. I currently have an s5 but most likely I'm returning it because my friend gave me an s4. I've been reading up getting ready to root and everything but it seems there are different methods for downgrading so not sure what my best bet is...all I know is I am currently on NC5. From my understanding I have to downgrade..root..then go back to NC5 pre rooted and start with safestrap (however that's done) lol...I came from an s3 with an unlocked bootloader so this is all new to me ..any help would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Just start out and download the downgrade file. If you need Odin I can upload that as well. Then you just put your phone in download mode. And put the downgrade file in the ap slot and click start. It will fail reboot the phone and then use the downgrade system file in the ap slot and it will complete. Then reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the cache and do a factory reset data wipe and you should now be on 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aholeinthewor1d:
Does it matter which version of Odin? I have it on my computer at home for my s3 but I'm at a friends right now so I wanna download it on her computer and get my phone done..which version should I be looking for...and you're saying there is only 2 files in total that I need to flash? Compared to 3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Two files using my method and three using surges new method. It does not matter which version of odin you use on 3.07 you would put the files in PDA instead of AP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] looneyk:
Tried this using the 2 files and Odin 3.09. First file failed as expected, rebooted and used the second file which also failed. Now my s4 has the firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen and I can't boot into recovery. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aholeinthewor1d:
I can't even find surges thread now for downgrading? The only one I found was how to upgrade to NC5 and keep root. That is why I am hesitant about this. Seems there is no "perfected" way. I heard people having issue with the 3 file method and now the 2 file method. Anyone know the link to Surges thred? Just wanna read over the options again

EDIT: Now I see someting about downgrading in the bottom of his post but still doesnt seem like step by step..idk why this is confusing the hell out of me lol. Just seems everything overlaps and files are different and blahhh I just want clear steps

It's below the upgrade instructions, scroll down until the blue text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Looney,

Go back into download mode and for the first downgrade file also use the pit file that's included. After it fails reboot the phone into download mode and use the downgrade system file make sure repartition is not checked.

I think some poeple will be better off with a video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Unfortunately I have no way to create a video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Yeah you would have to record your phone and computer at the same time. For your computer you could use something like fraps. For the phone you would have to record it with a camera since it won't be in the OS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aholeinthewor1d:
Don't need a video at all...just threads that have conflicting and overlapping info..just want clear directions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Is there anything I need to clarify or was you saying in general?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aholeinthewor1d:
Sorry if that came out wrong..I guess what's confusing is his directions...are all 3 of those files in the link provided in the beginning? Are they all in that one download...and I guess I don't understand the difference of what the 3 step method does that the 2 steps doesn't..seems people have issues with both
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I was having issues using the three files. Wifi wasn't working and think there was another issue. But with the two downgrade files I found it easier. I didn't need to learn bypasslm or hemdall everything just worked. I finally got everything in my mind perfected enough that I was only back on mk2 long enough to root and install safestrap. Then just installed the rooted v2 zip and the deleted programs from one or surges other zips and I was good to go. I thought this would be a better way then reading through 90 something pages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
I'm saying a video will show people a strait forward method of rooting the ota that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Thanks! Quick Questions...

Sorry about the double post, I accidentally posted on the older "Get Root from NC5 OTA!" Thread.

Thank you so much! I was a tad confused by Surges thread...

1. Is the factory data reset via recovery necessary?

2. After this do we have NC2 BL or NC5 BL? (If NC2, is it safe to upgrade to NC5 BL after these steps?)

3. Does Verizon software update still work? Will I be able to unroot via SuperSU and upgrade when 4.4.3 comes out? Or will I have to flash another modified .zip?

4. Is using the PIT file necessary in step 1?

5. Instead of going to 4.4.2 after downgrade, can we use a 4.3 based ROM?

Thanks Much,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes the factory data/wipe and wipe cache are necessary or your phone won't boot. If you were on the nc5 ota the bootloader will remain the same as an nc5 bootloader.

The Verizon software update computer software doesn't work. But the software update feature on the phone appears to work.

I would wait until there is a rooted flash able file for 4.4.3 to guarantee you don't lose root.

As for your supersu question you'd be better off flashing the nc5 ota file and updating to 4.4.3 if you don't care about root.

I use the pit file just to make the mk2 downgrade go flawless and only on the first file not the downgrade system file.

You would have to use safestrap and that should work without issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Thanks!!! It went Great! Now?

Do you know of any TW 4.4.2 ROMS that are cool/AOSP Themed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I havent seen any as of yet. It will probably take awhile to get them functional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popi09:
So do we download all four files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Issue...

Followed all instructions to a T.

After flashing, I am given the option between Samsung setup and Verizon Setup. Either that I choose I get the message "com.phone.android has stopped". Any Ideas?

I selected NC5 Modules in the Aroma installer... is that incorrect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Modules or modem? If it's modules you don't select any just click next. If it's modems you want the nc5 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] austynl:
Sorry, new to rooting in general. Currently on nc5 after taking ota.

1. What is best way to back up the phone before factory reset?

2. Where can I download Odin?

3. Do I need root to flash the downgrade?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I just let google take care of backing up your contacts and applications so that it will restore with the phone when you downgrade.

I have uploaded all of the odin files to the link on the front page. I use odin 3.09 all the time.

Root is not necessary or possible at this point for your situation.

If you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask.

search google for saferoot and then download and unzip it and make sure usb debugging is turned on. This can be done by going into settings and clicking more and selecting about phone and then tapping on build number 6 times and then go back and you will see developer options. You then open saferoot and follow the process and your phone will reboot several times and you'll be rooted.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DavidT.:
I left my Universal in the closed position at 47% and two days later returned to use it. It still had 45% battery life. This is with bluetooth turned on (I never have it turned off).

I hear WiFi is quite a battery drainer, make sure you have that turned off. I don't use WiFi (Only GPRS) so I never have WiFi on.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bradan:
Hi DavidT. may i ask what ROM you're using now. my phone only last for about 6 hrs max. without any use. NO BT or wifi on. thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DavidT.:
I'm using O2's 1.30.107 WWE ROM.

I decided to test again last night. Left it at 89% in the closed position approx 10:30 pm, opened her up this evening at 7 pm 87%.

If I constantly use it, I only get about 6-7 hrs of combined phone/gprs/pda usage out of it on the regular battery. On the extended battery I can use it for a few days :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ady:
make sure that there are no background programs running. It should run for almost 3 days without use in that mode. If you let some IM running that it won't last for more than 24 hours
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
ok, there are a lot of forums on this topic, and a lot has been identified.

I am at the moment using Ivans AKU 3.2 Rom, and this is a great battery saver. Not sure the tweaks used, but here are some additional suggestions:

1. Turn screen off after 2 minutes

2. Turn device off after 3 minutes

3. WIFI auto off after 2 minutes

4. Disable bluetooth when not in use

5. Turn off beam auto receive

6. Turn off error reporting

7. Remove anti virus

8. If you dont use UMTS, disable and switch it to always GSM

9. Ensure active sync isnt constantly running

10. Use GPRS only when you have to

11. Wind back the screen brightness on batteries to the very minimum, just before it blacks out.

12. Try to minimise the number of SD card read and writes (ie today screens, memory card readers, icons linked to SD card)

With all of this, and only general phone, PDA, and WIFI usage occuring sometimes during the day, I could get upto 3 days on Ivans rom. But usually, on the imate rom about 1.5 days.

If I use all of these non-stop constantly all day, it will be pretty drained after 1 full day.

It has occured in the past, and I dont know how or why, but something was running, and within an hour or two, battery was completely gone.

I couldnt fix it, so I hard reset and it didnt happen again. I suspect some programs get themselves into an endless loop (eg Activesync or others), and perhaps reading memory cards, etc caused it dont reall know.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
I am unable on ivans to kill it fully, always comes back.

on older roms, try

1. open activesync

2. add server source

3. enter any dummy entries

4. set schedule to manual

5. delete server source

6. reset

if u use push email, this won't work.
