[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
You will not be able to do anything that you've stated with the i537. The i537 has a locked bootloader so it can only flash things that have been signed by Samsung. The Odin files have been signed by Samsung, so that is why we are able to flash them; however once you modify the Odin package the signature will change and you will no longer be able to flash it to the i537.

As for flashing i9295 firmware to the i537, it is also impossible at the moment because the signatures don't match. Until somebody finds a workaround to the locked bootloader there's nothing you can do. You would be able to exactly what you are asking with the i9295 however since the bootloader is not locked.

I thought of one possible option though.

First you would have to root every phone manually, if they're on 4.2.2 it's going to be significantly faster than 4.3.

Install SafeStrap

Make a Nandroid backup of the rooted stock ROM with all the AT&T bloat removed.

Restore that Nandroid to the other 299 phones using SafeStrap.

Remove SafeStrap and unroot (remove SuperSU).

It's still going to take a ton of time but at least you don't have remove all the AT&T bloat manually.

Thanks for your quick reply, yeah i was doing what your mentioned above but mannnn thats a looonnggg process. Was hoping to find something faster

ITS COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :good::good::good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh::victory::victory::D:o:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] friendfriend:
Is there somebody willing to send similar question to Samsung about 8260?

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Mach5:
Don't worry, they will roll out the update for both the phones, even if they don't it can easily be ported to I8260.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] friendfriend:
What version could it be?

It can be 4.3 but i'm hoping for KitKat :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Unscrewed:
I mailed them for the i8260, just to be sure. Will post screenshots here if I get an answer. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pepmat:
It would be nice to get Android 4.2,4.3 or 4.4.Let as know the answer to them on any updates to the Galaxy GT-Core I8260.Signed created the petition, which will surely help
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Unscrewed:
Guys, I asked it through livechat, and there is no information about an update for our Core. I showed this thread and there are no records available and he said it was most likely fake because they don't know anything. Then I asked if it was possible to submit a request so we can get a ROM and that there is a petition running, he said that it wasn't possible unfortunately and that I just needed to wait until there is more information available.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] could you please explain this to me? Because I was getting my hopes up. I asked for both the i8260 and the i8262, no info.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pepmat:
Will definitely wrong they.There is still active, however, the petition
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] friendfriend:
So, Galaxy Core is definitely dead phone.

There is no hope for Samsung nor developers.

Core is very good phone and i will use core a lot months ahead but this is last samsung for me - Nexus is next step.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] AnsleyC:
I had sent a similar question regarding this and i got an exact same answer... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] nkvarman:
This is the formal answer they use to give if anyone asks about update, but practically there wont be any difference. In recent times Samsung haven't provide a version update to any if its middle & low range device
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pepmat:
Guys do not despair! We still have the petition, there is still a hope!
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Unscrewed:
I asked them, but they don't care about petitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] pepmat:
Still do not know anything about the petition. Just show him the completed.Ora please stop disturbing the Samsung!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edarchis:
Hi,

My Nexus 7 2012 (very first batch) is quite often behaving really slowly. It is common for the settings screen to take 15-20 seconds to open. From the homescreen. With no running app.

Here is a video after I've reset everything to factory defaults, let it run and index things on its own for an hour and then manually upgrade a small app:

[YOUTUBE]nJjqtSY7yKk[/YOUTUBE]

At other times, the speed is pretty decent for such a tablet. I just can't figure out why this difference. I've tried to check for wakelocks, tried a logcat and many other things. I can't make any sense from it.

Rebooting the tablet seems to have 50% chance of fixing the problem. So it's probably not a memory leak.

The tablet is rooted, on the latest build and I noticed that App Ops X survived the reset but no funky software is installed and the behaviour predates the installation of App Ops X. The network is not a problem here. The 2013 Nexus 7 of my wife works just fine and so does the Nexus 5 taking the above video.

How can I investigate this ? Is there an app that can run various reliable diagnostics to find out what kind of activity is causing trouble ? I tried to use logcat but the result is quite verbose and nothing rings a bell. I would really like to understand rather than just return it and wait or, worse, buy a new device.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid4lif3:
Let me know if you find a solution my Nexus 7 has been really slow, Im rooted with CM11 M6 & KK GAPPS, TWRP 2.7.0.0 I dont know what happened to this tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilzard:
Mine too. Nexus 7 2012 16GB running PA 3.99 (JB4.3). PA Kernel and GAPPS, PA launcher or whatever one came with stock PA.

It takes upwards of 10 seconds to unlock frequently, even from a fresh boot, and without any security just a simple swipe unlock.

App drawer can take 10-15 seconds to open.

If I touch too much during these lag times I will often get a launcher not responding error.

I've about given up myself and am looking at other ROMs. Before I reflash though I may try a different kernel.

I'm downloading a few right now and I'll hopefully remember to report back my results.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasalhair:
Mine is suddenly unbearably slow too. It's a 2012 edition and I'm not rooted, running the stock software. I've tried clearing caches (app and system), doing a factory reset, flashing the factory image, but it just runs like a dog. When I switch it on it takes a few minutes to become responsive, and apps regularly say they will take upwards of 20 minutes to download updates - small apps too, about 3MB. The download issues are nothing to do with my wifi as the tablet is slow wherever I use it, and my Nexus 5 downloads the same things in a matter of seconds. Would love to know what I could do to fix my N7. I don't want to root it or flash a custom ROM - don't want to go down that route - I just want the great performance that I had from it before.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
I was having the same issues described here as well after owning the tablet for awhile, and tried every custom ROM, kernel, and android version I could find for our device along the way, in the hopes of finding a solution.

The one thing that finally helped for me, was formatting the device to use F2FS file system format on all partitions. The initial setup is a bit tedious, as you will lose ALL data on the device, so first must back up everything, then restore it all once the device has been reformatted. But the payoff has been huge for both me and my wife.

Making this switch has made both of our tablets usable again, even enjoyable! It's well worth the effort put in to make the switch.

See this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678140, which has the modified recovery, files, and instructions needed to convert. It also helps to first make sure you can successfully use fastboot/ADB commands from your PC to the device, in case you get into any trouble along the way.

There's also an app now available for converting any rom to all-f2fs (prior to flashing), it's cheap and well worth the cost (about the price of a cup of coffee) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runnerway.converttof2fs&hl=en.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Hey guys!

I need your help. I installed a S/mime certificate on my ZL and can now sign mails and receive encrypted mails. That worked great without any problems.

I now got a signed mail from my boss, but the email app tells me that this certificate is not trusted. I tried to import the CA certificate from my boss in differend formats (.cer, p7s,...) but did not succeed. So I can't send an encrypted mail to my boss.

I've got his public cert and the one from his CA. How can I import this in my ZL...?

Thanks for your help!

About

First of all, the reason that this program took this much time to come out is because my career-deciding exams where on. So I'm sorry about that.

The newest edition features a GUI - like UI that helps user to easily create new projects (for rom or collection of apps) and manage them.

With the new algorithm the for compression you can ensure that almost all of your apps get compressed successfully! You just have find the perfect set of settings for that particular app. Use it ti compress apps and get a performance boost for your phone as well as save some space!
​

Setting Up your PC!

Note: You can skip this step if you already have Java installed on your PC, or you don't want to use the Sign Apk setting for compression.

Download The following resources first:

Java SE Run-time Environment 7 [ Java Dependencies For Signing APK tool ]

Now let's begin setting up your PC,

Install the above mentioned programs.

Go to Advanced System Properties.

It looks like this:

Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value as the path where you have installed the JRE.

It looks like this:

Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Move the cursor to the end of the string till you see ";" (without quotes), add the path to your JRE bin folder just after it.

It looks like this:

Include this in your signature if you like and support Cassini and you are using the apps compressed by Cassini!

Are you bricked after the OTA? Here's how to unbrick it, locked or unlocked.

One other note: this is NOT an official 183 FXZ, so if this doesn't work, it won't make things worse, but you'll just have to wait for the "official" 183 FXZ.

Thanks go to stras1234 for providing a KK FXZ for those that needed it to unbrick their phone.

Another big thanks goes to SamuriHL for providing a tool to use the FXZ provided by stras1234 to make your job easier to unbrick your phone and get you running with KK.

[RAZR HD General] cmchance:
Recommended strictly for unlocked bootloaders? Or would those of us with locked bootloaders be safe attempting as well providing we're on stock 9.30?
[RAZR HD General] m_torresagasti:
hi [MENTION=3250093]iBolski[/MENTION] i just want you to know that i share your post on the kk tracking post! :)
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
If you're already on stock 9.30, then it should work. I think the hang-ups for many who are manually loading it themselves via taking the OTA directly, were where if you were pushed the OTA and immediately accepted it and allowed it to go through and update it, it might have worked as long as you were unrooted on stock 9.30.

However, I chose to save the OTA off to the side (from the /cache directory) and hence, booted into the recovery manually, not realising that it installs a newer stock recovery and that's where I got hung up at. I thought the install failed, when in reality, I had to go back into the recovery and install it again. Of course, I tried using vol-down + vol-up and it wouldn't work.

If you currently have root though under 9.30, you might want to hold off until someone verifies if root can be obtained again. Because, without an unlocked boot loader, you will more than likely lose your access to root, especially if the latest "exploit" for 9.30 doesn't work under KK.

Your mileage may vary, but I don't have a locked bootloader phone to test this out on, so please, I do not accept any responsibility for what may happen if you try it, whether you have a locked or unlocked bootloader.

Thanks!
[RAZR HD General] cmchance:
Just what I was needing to hear! I am currently rooted so I'll probably hold off. I've got a used Moto X on order though, should get it in today. After I test it out and verify that I can tolerate it and the smaller battery, then I might do some experimenting with the xt926 model I have and report back. Though, as anticipated as this update is, I'm sure someone will have already beat me to all the testing within a few hours from now lol ;)
[RAZR HD General] huatz84:

I can't share the file, but if you look in the KitKat Tracking thread, you should find it there somewhere.

did your phone actually ota to 9.30 or did you use a sbf/utility and flashed it to 9.30?

Now to try saferoot...???
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
I flashed to 9.30. When I received the OTA from the soak push, I saved the OTA off to the side and didn't apply it immediately. Then, when I attempted to apply it (after using House of Moto to fastboot it back to 9.30 stock), it rebooted after it started applying and then went back to the recovery screen, but at that point, they had changed how you get into it. It's now volume-up + power, not volume-down + volume-up.

In any case, that second step needs to happen where you go back and re-apply the OTA.

I'm thinking if I would have taken the OTA automatically right after it downloaded, it was probably automated. That, or maybe Motorola/Verizon decided to make it a game and see if people could figure it out? :silly:

Safe root for me was a no go. But kitkat is pretty nice!
[RAZR HD General] huatz84:
I've flashed my Razr Maxx HD to Kitkat using that slow Chinese server. I'm so happy it runs much smoother than JB. Everything seems fast and smooth. The new aosp lockscreen is much better than blur lockscreen. The aosp messaging is also nice. I can live without root for a while coz I already have a Photon Q modding to max. The only thing I dislike is the stock launcher which is not transparent anymore. So,I replace it with Nova Launcher Prime. It looks better now. Btw,I'm using GSM network and I notice signal is better than previous JB.

This is just for XT926.

This is just what I had to do to make it work for me as an official soak tester.

[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
What version was your phone at? If you read, this is for 9.30.1. Is that the version you were on? If not, then you need to acquire the correct OTA depending on which version you were on.

Is this an XT926 or XT925? I was hoping my instructions were clear what OS version and what phone this was for, but I could be mistaken, so I want to make sure.

your almost there, :fingers-crossed: just need to get back into recovery.. i had problems getting back in, even with the new recovery key instructions... hold the power and volume down button.. it will restart... then hold the volume up and power button... not sure if i just tapped the power button or held it in.. but eventually i got back to the recovery and ran the update from sd card again. don't worry your not bricked.
[RAZR HD General] skeevydude:
You can also hold down all three button when powering on and access the boot menu and select recovery from there. I find that to be easier than holding the volume+power combo at the right time.

In the boot menu, volume down scrolls items, volume up selects, and power reboots.
