[Security Discussion] MunkinDrunky:
I think your saying can someone flash a rom over your rom, on which you have security lock, and then gain access by having the lock removed?

Let's say it's good practice to wipe before you flash and if one did that then there wouldn't much point of flashing a rom with security lock removed. Otherwise one would do a dirty flash and most likely end up in boot loop.

I would hope it should not be possible to remove that security feature without wiping the phone and making such and endevour useless to begin with.
[Security Discussion] malukiz:
Thx MunkinDrunky for explanation.

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/android-disable-change-pin-code/

Yeah but the guy can easy change the pin code and do what he want with your phone number even if he wipe the phone.
[Security Discussion] darknow:
no
[Security Discussion] MunkinDrunky:
That is totally different that what I thought you were talking about (lock screen security) plus that walk through requires you know your old pin to change It.

Anyone Having trouble with in-app purchasing specially on viper or google apps?

Recently after updating to 4.4.2 iam having problem with it and sometimes iam getting "your device does not support in app purchases"

Which is wierd! anyone had this issue before?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you running my ported kitkat rom? I tried to purchase an app yesterday but it wouldn't work. Been planning to look into this but haven't had time. Haven't tried since yesterday either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nagashei:
Yes iam using LiquidSmooth Rom,also tried other roms and it has the same problem for some reason,is there any option to enable it or its from ROM or Build itself?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Or it could be a very simple explaination that the App either is not updated to Kitkat or does not like rooted devices.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In app manager, try clearing data on all Google apps, most importantly, play store, gms, gsf, gmail and any others you think might be closely tied to them. Reboot and reset up. If that doesn't work, try again but also uninstall updates. Reboot and give it time to auto update them again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nagashei:
I will try that,i cleared google play and removed updates and worked for apps connected to it but others like viper/tango/skype arent working
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Check in your build.prop to make sure your device model is correctly entered. Its just a guess but is what I plan to try first when I get a chance to look into it in my rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nagashei:
Still Cant find a solution this is really wierd
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Best I can think of is to nandroid, odin back to stock with latest firmware, then flash your rom clean and try it that way. If it still doesnt work try again on stock touchwiz. This way youll know if its something wrong with your account, or something wrong with your rom and data. Also, from your computer, manually log out of any google services.

Restoring the nandroid data backup will likely cause it to happen again. Mine started working again on its own, so im not sure what the cause was...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nagashei:
i will try that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nagashei:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
I bought a Nexus 5 from someone and everything was working fine. I brought it home to flash another ROM and when I downloaded the zip file and booted into recovery, Team Win 2.6.3.1, I erased everything like I normally would but didn't realize this recovery wiped everything, the ROM on the root of the drive and the OS. So now I have a phone with no OS. I tried downloading the ROM to my laptop and mounting the phone over USB but it's not working. Any suggestions guys?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Two options, push a rom onto the device or side load it or flash the factory image
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
Push it using ADB? Do you have the command I would type for this?

Where can I find the Nexus drivers? I wonder if that's why it won't mount through recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Google adb 15 second drivers xda
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
I downloaded all the drivers and I still cannot mount the phone. How do I push the rom to the phone through adb? Where can I find that command?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you used the tool you should have adb on your pc. Find which folder adb.exe is. Download any rom zip file and put it in that folder. Open a command window in that folder, shift right click on it and a pop up window will open where you can open the command window.

In the command window use adb push your rom.zip /sdcard/download. That should put the rom onto your device. You can then flash it in your recovery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
I've tried this but it seems without the phone being mounted nothing is pushing to it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Boot into recovery and type adb devices in a command window with your usb connected. What do you get?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
It show's the serial for this phone and says recovery out beside it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Good, adb is working. Try pushing the rom again

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

If that doesn't work then boot into twrp and go to advanced, adb sideload. Then from a cmd window type adb sideload your rom.zip
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
I appreciate your help but nothing works! This is so frustrating.

ADB sideload is enabled on the phone and it's waiting. I typed in the command to push the file and nothing...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
I also have an HTC One M7 that will not adb push roms to. This phone works fine though. It's the Nexus I can't get a ROM onto the sdcard.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
See if you can use fastboot and flash the factory image. You might start with just flashing the cache.img to see if that'll work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
Where can I get the factory image? Also, what are the commands for fastboot?

I really appreciate your help with this I just want to get the phone working.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Unzip it, inside there is a flash-all.bat. just run that
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lt1pnyklr:
Thanks buddy. I was able to flash the stock image from Google. I'm surprised none of the ADB push commands or sideload would work. Now I'm unrooted but that's fixable.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samabuelsamid:
My Razr maxx hd (xt926) had been rooted and bootloader unlocked sitting on version 9.16.9 for a while. With KitKat available I downloaded the 9.18.49 rom file and reset the phone flashing it with the Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US rom and getting everything back to stock. At this point it shows build 9.8.1Q I loaded the KK rom on the SD card and tried to flash from stock recovery.

During verification it aborts, with an error

expects build fingerprint of xt926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.2/9.8.1q-94/56:user release-keys

this device has xt926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.2/9.8.1q-94-1/57:user/r

Bad news. I flashed that one from recovery and it put my phone into a boot loop:(

Time to start over from scratch
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darbness:
I was reading that it rewrites your recovery. Go back into your recovery (should be a new version) and try to I stall again.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billycar11:
Yeah you need to install 2 times.

Did it install the recovery?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samabuelsamid:
I'll let you know later tonight. I had to reflash back to where I was so I'd have a working phone for my workday.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Definitely, the reboot during the install back into recovery is what confused a lot of us who were part of the soak test and tried to apply it manually ourselves.

When you first go into recovery and install the OTA, it will reboot. At that point, it will boot back to the recovery screen. There, you must press volume up + power. That is different from the old vol up+ vol down.

Anyways, once you are back in the "hard to read" recovery (why did they reduce the brightness on the new recovery?), you need to go back and install the OTA again. This time it will continue on where it left off and apply the KK update to your system.

Profit!

You might want to go to my post here (

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52602576&postcount=1) and read some of the gotchas. Read them BEFORE you take the update so you don't bork your phone:

One other question: My bootloader is unlocked, I'm trying to find the directions to root again under kitkat by manually sideloading. Anyone have a link?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
All you need to do is flash CWM and then find a sideloadable SU package to sideload under CWM. That's it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samabuelsamid:
Thanks. Just a couple more questions before I do this to make sure I don't send my phone back into oblivion and have to start all over again. Is the CWM recovery specific to any particular version of Android, current one available for XT926 on clockworkmod.com download page is 6.0.4.4. Similarly, does SU need to be specific to this phone/KitKat rom?

I've rooted numerous phones before, always using a script like Razr Hd utility. This is my first attempt at manual root so I appreciate your patience
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
You need to download the new CWM for KK. xt926-KK-CWM-6048.img is the name. You can get it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52564336&postcount=1

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake902:
I have the same problem, but I'm getting the error message that expects your device. What was the image that you used? I have the vanquish:4.1.2/9.8

1Q-94/56:user.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Then you cannot use CWM and there is no safe strap for KK.

Also, root is now lost, but SamuriHL is working on a theory that might work. Unfortunately, it requires locked phones that have NOT taken the soak or OTA yet and we have to wait for the official KK FXZ image file before he can continue. If the phone has had the OTA or soak applied to it, then it can't be part of the test.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samabuelsamid:

I only bought my Datawrite card because it has a lot faster read and write speed, 24mbs read 20mb/s write, only to find out that my Mini s will not read faster than about 3mb/s. This bechmarks about the same as my Kingston card.

Dont know what you mean by delete? If you mean disable? No, it will not hurt to disable those apps. Those are on just about every att phone. There are lists every where showing you what apps you can disable. Just goole em and you will see. If your rooted. There is a very good app called systemCleanup that will tell what apps are safe. Either way you choose. Both are good options. Search or systemCleanup.

Sounds good, I have clean master which says that there could be problems if I uninstalled them
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Just disable those apps if You are not sure. Mostly these apps will show "problems if uninstalled" as they are installed via Your update directly, but don't cause any issues if uninstalled. You can always experiment by taking backup of the app, then uninstall it. If nothing is wrong, then fine, else You can restore them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qzone23:
Disabling them caused no issues but what I am really trying to do I get control of my hotspot/tethering without the need of an app like foxfi when I try to turn them on, please contact att, but since my phone is unlocked and I am not with att there is nothing they can do.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pckarma112:
Yes, if your trying to use the hotspot in settings thats going to happen. That is tied in directly to your phone. Which is a att phone. You are essentially running a att rom. The only other way that I would know of. Would be to use a different carrier rom. But then you open up to other issues that would not be good. Just stick with foxfi. Be happy it works. For alot of us. It no longer does.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qzone23:
I figured that was the case, anyway, I really like the foxfi app because it hides your tethering usage from your carrier
