"Failed the "MK2 Pre-Flash System Check" so I performed a "Full Wipe" reverting my Samsung Galaxy S4 back to stock MK2 using the following procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209

If you are not familiar with this process the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL8XwuRYoWU&feature=youtu.be may be helpful.

I then rooted the stock MK2 with this procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 and then followed your instructions.

This process works and I still have Root.

Thank you,"

Does this also update our bootloader? I am already updated to nc5 rooted but just curious as I have retained my mj7 bootloader.

It's great to see several different options/methods available to update.

Thanks for your time and hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
It does not and no problem, hopefully it'll prove to be another viable option to keep root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Edit: Sorry just read the op again and realized you already stated it does not contain the bootloader.

This method does not work!

There is an error in the installation at safstrap MK2toNC5_KeepRoot_OTA.ZIP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
What exactly did you do and where did the error occur? Are you saying you are on stock rooted mk2 and were unable to install safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -=puma=-:
safstrap I installed! rebooted the phone rekaveri. and started the installation MK2toNC5_KeepRoot_OTA.ZIP. But threw an error!

After flash phone did not work, I have restored it through Odin I545VRUEMK2_I545VZWEMK2_VZV and today again like your flash method, surprisingly flashed without problems.

Perhaps the problem was due to the fact that the phone was flashed Samsung Kies 3. After flashed Odin I545VRUEMK2_I545VZWEMK2_VZW all was well.

But there is a problem! WiFi does not work and can not deliver morelocale Russian language.

Ok, I have a SGH-i317m. Originally from the Canadian carrier Rogers

I am having the wifi "authentication error", it works on other people's wifi, just not mine at home. GRR! tried messing around with all the router settings, etc to no avail.

I have been searching this site and going through all sorts of threads. Frankly, I'm overwhelmed. I have gotten as far as rooting my phone sucessfully, a buddy who was an experienced "rooter"? told me to use my carriers ROM. I flashed it with a Telus Rom and it works! Success so far using Odin.

But...

I want the wifi fixed, I need it to be reliable as I use it for work and I am just starting with this modding and need to keep it simple.

Can someone please just lay out some basics for me to do? I just need a Rom I guess, I'd love Kit Kat, but 4.3 is fine. And whatever tools I need to install it. I can research the procedures, I don't need step by step.

I don't understand all the terminology yet. I was looking at a ROM that is de-knoxed and a bunch of stuff like that for better battery life, etc. But it's a 350 page thread. I don't have that kind of time.

Please help,

Thanks,

Jason

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.

There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilflip21:
I'd buy it again..

Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjs2011:
Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durandetto:
I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverepats:
Might have to take another peek in the settings for the keyboard. Predictive text works great on this keyboard

Dude I'd say go for it. Me, I'm loving the S5,but I'm also a huge Samsung fan. Ice personally ha e no issues!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jmchain:
I just got my m8, and it's completely stock, not even rooted yet. I'm having trouble maintaining a 4G connection. Even when I'm in an area with a strong signal, my phone eventually falls back to 3G and then won't upgrade to 4G until I enter and exit airplane mode again.

Is this common? any ideas on how to fix it before I just bring it back?

Thanks!

[Edit]

I went to the verizon store and got a new SIM card, and that's resolved the issue, I get a good solid 4G connection on a consistent basis. Maybe the old one wasn't maintaining connection? not sure but it's fixed now.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] eikast:
That's weird. Maybe you have a defective phone. Go get it exchanged.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DroidRootz:
I just got my M8 too and my 4G seems to be about the same as my last phone

...maybe a little bit better
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Have seen this personally on 3 devices (all purchased from different locations). 2 employees and 1 myself. Its like it takes longer to get a 4G signal. I cant figure it out, but have learned to deal with it. It eventually gets a 4G lock, just not as soon as I would like. I have noticed that Insert Coin gets a 4G signal faster than the official vzw based ROMs though. Not sure if placebo though as my only ways of testing is watching the phone to see when it gets a 4G signal, when I know its in a strong 4G zone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jmchain:
I went and got a new sim card and surprisingly enough that seems to have solved the issue. Maybe there just wasn't a good connection with the old one? Not sure, but problem solved.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DigiDave:
I had similar issues when I got mine. I switched from my S4 to the M8 and had to get a new Nano SIM card to fit the M8. It had issues with connecting to any data connection but I was able to fix it by taking out the SIM and then pushing it back in but not too firmly. I suppose it was the positioning of the SIM with the tray.

Who needs Facebook or social media sites when development takes off at a staggering rate as it is right now on XDA and for the LG G Flex.

Please everyone taking advantage of the new and great developments on here just take a few moments to stop in at all the topics you've used and have benefited you for what ever reason or another and click the thanks button on those peoples threads for taking time out of their lives to help you or to develop mods,ROMs, and apks that you're using.

When 4.3 hit a lot of people took the update which locked the phone down. Before that bootloader was wide open and there were a ton of just badass roms and kernels to play with. New roms dropped almost daily for a while there. At this point I would just like to flash anything! Its been months. I've got the shakes.
[LG G Flex] aarongillion63:
Yeah, luckily I'm the type who doesn't make decisions without reason, so I didn't take the update until news about it came out. Unfortunately since I have Verizon the bootloader is still locked for me, the Casual exploit falsely unlocked the bootloader, meaning it said "successful" and when I updated recovery it still brought me the "Unauthorized Software...take to nearest Verizon store" error, 3 separate times after restoring to stock, so I gave up. Idk what's up with my damb phone.

Enough of my problems, as far as yours goes, you can fix it with a jtag (Riffbox, $150), although you'd have to make an investment on that or send it to an expert (I've seen $30 offers). Other than that, with specifically the Note2 you can trip a resistor with a piece of solder to tell cpu to load bootloader from SD card, you can find that around the forums on here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49611038). Those are the only two methods. :thumbup:

Hello,

I just rooted my D80020k g2 and looks like I can't properly install a custom recovery through AutoRec, as it appears the custom recovery doesn't support my current version. Is it possible to still use Xframes to modify my stock rom safely (i.e. without a great risk of bricking my phone)?

Try Twkcl.exe

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rougenator:
Maybe the solution, it works for my Tytn:

Make the registery change as described for the wizard.

Go to landscape (keyboard slided out) en go to start, settings, system, Screen, General (must be landscape), ClearType, enable ClearType.

Then: make a softreset not using youre stylus but trough the On/Of button, or Softreset trough other possibilties.

After a couple of resets it still works till now! Just testing right now the stylus reset: result: d@mm, so that is really the problem. Using the stylus hole softreset (what's the name for it? Resetbutton for stylus?).

So again procedure as descriped above en never use the resetbutton for stylus anymore until somebody discoverd a solution for it!

Has someone did the trick allready?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolochi:
I'm going to try such trick, thanks..

I think that's an HTC issue, because it happens also on Qtek 9090...

On Motorola MPx I changed reg value one time and it always worked across lots of soft resets.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
i never use 'resetbutton', but always resetting device with on/off button. even with that, cleartype in landscape mode seems to be lost after couple of resets (or maybe, offs/ons). :(

Can anyone confirm whether or not Twkcl.exe works?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gohyc:
Twkcl.exe works for me. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nicolochi:
I tried it but after two or three soft resets cleartype in landscape rollbacks to off...:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gohyc:
At least you did get it to work. I have no luck with this method at all.

As I mentioned before, Twkcl.exe works well for me. Maybe you wanna try that and forget about tweaking the registry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joehood:
I think I know ur problem, try closing the reg editor from memory running programs screen before you reset. That worked for me, but am going to try twkcl now to get it to stay.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joehood:
that's odd... I followed the instructions for TwkCL but it makes no difference, the reg setting goes back to normal after the 2nd reset.

I physically copied TwkCL.exe to the extended_rom, then edited the config file, that's all I need to do right?

Nothing happened so I edited the registry as normal and it just went back as usual.

Hope someone can help,

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gohyc:
No need such complication....simply copy Twkcl.exe into the \Windows\Startup folder will do.

I believe the instruction is for effecting automated configuration during hard-reset so that Twkcl.exe will be copied to your STARTUP folder after each hard-reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joehood:
Marvellous.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
My S3 is setting backup recovery file dates that show as 1970, yet the system date/time seems to be correct. I found some older backup files stored on my laptop (moved from the phone long ago) that had correct dates--so this is something that apparently changed somewhere along the way (OS upgrade?).

Does anyone know of this problem cause and a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
If you're using TWRP 2.6.x then it is a known issue. From what I hear updating TWRP fixes that but a lot of people have said problems arise with creating or restoring backups with it. Probably the problems with KitKat and the storage changes. I just amend the date when I make backups.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
I am on CWM 6.0.4.7. I hadn't thought about it being an issue with the recovery, but that makes sense; since the backup is done in recovery with the OS not running, and the only time in the phone comes from the network, then there may not even be a software call that can access current time when recovery is trying to make a backup.

But I did have some older ones that had a then-current date on them. ????

Now very puzzled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ZehelSitchel:
Yeah that happened to me too. It got to a point where I couldn't even name them via ROM manager. I had to do the backup in recovery, reboot, then name it myself. Otherwise I never knew which were which.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
I *BELIEVE* it is because a time is not available to the backup code while in recovery (OS not running), but I don't see why, when the backup is commanded from within ROM Manager (OS is running), that the date/time could not be stored in a file to be used in the filename by the recovery code running the backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
1970-01-01 is time 0 in the POSIX time system on linux. Its presence suggests that either the recovery app didn't define the system clock to make it available, or didn't give the file system commands permissions to use it.

The system clock can be available in recovery. I use Philz custom with CWM. Both the backup folders and files have correct dates and times.

You can choose to use TWRP format under Philz and the files are supposed to be available to TWRP, in the default folder. I don't know if that will fix the date issue. I'll try on my S3 and report back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
Proper date when using TWRP format under Philz - It's open source, so the TWRP team should look at what he does.

Here's a screen shot from xplore, looking at the backup folder,

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
Thank you for that reply--very helpful!

Quick question: does Philz recovery put boot-to-recovery entry in the long-press-power menu?

LATER:

Drilled through things starting at the link you provided. Apparently I am supposed to use the d2lte version for my ATT S3. But when I get to the (appropriate, I think) download page, there are 'tons' of files listed...

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte

????

Also, for completeness, I am running rooted, but standard ATT ROM at 4.1.2; the 4.3 OTA update always fails to install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
Yes, you want d2lte version. Should work on any JB rom, including 4.1.2.

If you have option to boot to recovery from long press power button, then it will still be there and should work. That's how I do it, avoiding power down and button combo. Philz doesn't add that reboot to recovery option. It's an option on some roms, like cyanogen, or you can find a free app on Google play to do it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] movrshakr:
I do not have it now--I thought the Recovery added it. I always enter recovery from within ROM Manager--don't even remember the key technique. Will doing it from ROM Manager still work if I go to Philz?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
I don't know. You could check the thread in the link I posted above. If you search the thread, I expect you find the answer.
