re: bobcat rom

You need to download and odin flash the official stock NB4 Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware/rom

before doing anything else. You can find the official 4.4.2 Kitkat stock NB4 rom

at http://SamMobile.com then root the phone and flash twrp/cwm custom recovery.

Then flash the Bobcat rom in twrp/cwm recovery then be sure to flash the

Wifi/Nfc/Bluetooth fix cwm/twrp flashable zip file after flashing Bobcat rom.

You can download the fix file here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...en900T/Needed_Files_BT_WIFI_NFC_Flashable.zip

The fix file is required if your phone is the Tmobile model

SM-N900T or Canadian model SM-N900W8

After flashing the fix file you will need to root

Just remember one thing, once you upgrade

to any 4.4.2 Kitkat NB4 stock and custom rom

you will not be able to downgrade to any 4.3

Jellybean roms including your 4.3 nandroid backup.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] icenight89:
Depends what kind of root you have, and the Knox status. If it's 0x1 the method above is correct.

You merely have to flash twrp after you do an official update from sammobile.com with the 4.4.2 binaries through Odin as well, and you know the rest.

If your Knox is 0x0, there is a workaround to get 4.4.2 custom roms with root while keep the 4.3 boot loader. This is the only method known to have root on 4.4.2 every other method trips the counter. Do some more reading and research.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mryounghc:
Is there anyway to disable file verification on stock recovery without using Odin. I went to complete stock 4.3 to update BL. . But my usb port went out...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
None that im aware of. You need a custom recovery for that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You can flash custom Recoveries via Mobile Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Only if you're already rooted, just so you know. If you are, then I highly recommend Mobile Odin!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBigs:
Hello,

Summary:

I have an LG V500 (originally with 10B then upgraded to 20B all stock) and cannot seem to be able to install the Gamma Fix kernels (4.2.2 recompiled) on the GPad now flashed with 10A.

Why:

I want to use 4.2.2 because certain apps run smoother with no stutter. The stutter behavior is seen on all .4.4 phones and tablets I have, stock or custom. 4.3 and earlier runs fine on all devices.

History:

V500 USA model, originally 10B then upgraded to 20B via LG (never rooted, all stock).

Set up LG environment to flash (stock? no custom recovery, no) GB 10A .kdz . Ran OK

Boots up to 10A

Use ioroot25. Ran OK. Rooted SuperSU present and working. (No recovery yet)

Installed TWRP 2.7.0.1 via script from Dr. Gravy (wouldn't run on 10A)

LG Flash environment to get back to 20B.

Use ioroot25. Ran OK.

Installed TWRP 2.7.01. Ran OK.

Flashed the Rooted, SuperSU, 10A.zip via TWRP. Ran OK.

Insured book OK with no hangs or bootloops.

Made TWRP backup.

Copied TWRP backup on my computer.

Tried Bob Kernel 4.2.2 per his instructions utilizing the TWRP recovery.

Reboot no gamma change. (Tried several times. Didn't work)

Tried moving the boot file to the backup and running a full TWRP recovery. Ran OK.

Reboot no gamma change.

I make sure that TWRP mounts are OK. Try again.

Reboot no gamma change.

Flashed id10t-kernel-v1.0.zip

Reboot no gamma change.

Things devolve from there using PhilZ CWM recovery.

Nothing worked.

I did flashed the (stock?) 18a .zip. Ran OK.

Reboot, gamma fixed (but I do not want 4.4)

Tried SlimKat no gamma fix.

Flash Back to 10a using the .zip

I kept trying with 10a until the Gpad would only boot into recovery.

Today (starting all over):

Use the LG environment to flash GB 10A .kdz. All OK

Ran ioroot25. Ran OK.

No recovery installed.

Presently I am at 10A (stock), rooted, SuperSU.

Reboot OK. Gamma not fixed (as expected).

Am I missing something? Where to proceed from here?

Thank you for any assistance.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yawako:
Any moment now I will have my Gpad and soon I will face the gamma issues.

Like you I wanted to stay 4.2.2 probably Malladus ROM and Bob Kernel for gamma fix.

I think the main reason was the ability to move app to sd wiithout the need of third party app. "Like h0w we m0ve Hill Climb Racing 0n my Gingerbread ph0ne"? (still little knowledge about this)

But if still need link2sd, then I will switch LRS 2.2.0 with AIC kernel f0r gamma fixed.

[General Questions and Answers] Herr Harro:
Can you enter the download mode?
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
This is easily solvable, I've had a few issues like you since the Nexus 5 does not have an SD Card slot either.

What you'll need to do is set up ADB, Google it if you don't have it.

Then go to where you have the contents (adb files). Or you can go into cmd (command promt) and type in "cd your/adb/folder/destination" if you haven't done the "cd" method simply go into the adb folder. And open a cmd window there, once open. Boot your device into recovery mode and plug in your cable to your PC. So that it detects your device.

Then in the command prompt window type the following command - "adb devices" (This will run adb and it'll check to see if adb is properly installed, if your device does not pop up, make sure you cable is in properly. If it still doesn't show, you will have to install the drivers for your device again... Properly).

Now it should list your device, go into the G2 section and download the preferred rom.

Once downloaded simply type this in the command prompt window.

Adb push path/to/rom.zip /sdcard

Eg - adb push c:/user/user/Downloads/cm11.zip /sdcard

Now this should push the .zip to your internal memory, in the recovery mode (after adb has down its job). Simply wipe data and install the .zip c:

Your device should work.

So yeah I dont really know crap about most things, so I need help to prevent me from having to buy a new phone.

So a few days back my XT907M got the new 4.4.2 update. It worked fine for a couple days then it went into a boot loop. It had done this a few weeks before the update but it snapped out of it somehow.

It will not let me go into recovery mode, but I could get it to go into fastboot, so I did some googling and decided to try my hand at reflashing it. I had trouble getting my PC to verify a connection to the phone. I tried getting different drivers, but again i dont know what the hell im doing so i had not luck.

I took the phone to a place called World of Wireless here in Minneapolis to see if they could fix it. They told me that they went in and deleted two bad lines of code, but since the new fastboot files arent available for 4.4.2 that there was nothing they could do because the phone will not let them go backwards.

is there anything I can do, or am I just going to have to buy a new phone?

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

From what I've seen it's a bit challenging to separate the two because of how they are glued together.

So whether the digitizer is broken or not I should just buy the 100$ one and fix?
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I was watching this vid - the piece on the bubble wrap is a new screen/digitizer, they are glued together, you'd need to get the digitizer off without breaking it. It's possible I guess, just there's a risk of cracking the glass while separating them.

Super basic question. I turned on encryption a long time ago. I have no idea how to turn it off! I'm running Cyanogen now w/CWM 6.0.4.7, which I believe is the latest.

How do I remove encryption on my S4 SGH-M919?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I think a factory reset is the only way to remove encryption, all data will be wiped.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
Actually I've already tried that. Factory resets fail!

Here's what happens:

- boot into recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7)

- choose "wipe data/factory reset"

- confirm yes

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting cache...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
I think that worked! I installed a version of CM that worked just fine to access my encrypted system (obviously I still have my password) and boot to the point where I could use a System -> Factory Reset from inside Android OS.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
I was wrong. This did not work, and least, I don't think it did. My overall goal was to remove encryption and move over to Jamal's Google Edition ROM. I was finally able to get that to install but now my phone is asking for a password on boot. My old encryption password clearly doesn't work. I've read vague things about encryption keys being missing, but I don't really know about that.

All I care is that there is zero important data on this phone. I have CWM 6.0.4.7 and I can't seem to change that because I can't get my device to recognize in fastboot mode and the current GPE rom doesn't boot (I can't get past the decryption prompt). So uhh... what can I do from here? Crapola.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
Ok, here's video proof of what I'm doing. Hopefully it is clear that I start cold/off, boot into Recovery, do both a Factory Reset and a Reset Cache, then I boot into a clean AOSP install (specifically: I9505_-_Official_Google_Edition_4.4.2_by_Jamal2367_Final-R1.1.zip ) and I still get prompted for an encryption password.

I notice that v 3.09 has different button names from the v 3.07 videos I'm finding everywhere on YouTube. Everywhere it says use the "PDA" button. which is the second one down under "files [download]" but that doesn't exist anymore. Now they are, in order, "BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS." I used the second button, AP, and it seemed to do the right verifying of the md5 file then attempts at flashing.

Uhhh... any help?

What about using Kies3?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I've never used Kies so I wouldn't know.

A failed write in Odin could be one of many things:

Dodgy USB cable

Dodgy USB port

Kies running in the background (You must kill all Kies processes that might be going on)

If you've tried different cable and USB port and killed Kies processes then could be the encryption stopping it.

what I would do:

Install Odin 1.85 (I've always used this. Never used a later version)

Uninstall Kies

flash latest philz CWM recovery to your device

boot into recovery and select 'mounts and storage'

Format: Boot, Cache, System, Preload and Data. (if of course they can be mounted due to encryption)

Go to 'wipe data factory reset' and for the sake of it choose the wipe to install a new ROM. (over kill, but I like to do it anyway)

Now you have a totally wiped clean device.

Boot into download mode

Boot up Odin v1.85

connect phone

and flash the firmware again, in PDA section of Odin.

Good luck!!

tried to find my version of Odin 1.85 but couldn't. should be online somewhere though :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
I have tried multiple cables. I did not try different USB ports, however, since some operations work just fine I really doubt that was the problem. Do you have a link to this "philz CWM" recovery and the Odin v1.85? I'd love to try them.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdabruin:
I got it solved!! I got help from an official Samsung Representative via Samsung Experience Store that's built into a nearby Best Buy. This seems to be their version of the Apple Genius Bar.

After Kies3 didn't work I decided to contact Samsung. I live-chatted with them and the end result was, rather quickly, that the best course of action would be to have an official rep give flashing a try with something they call Samsung Smart Tool. I went to a Best Buy and the nice lady gave it a try. It took a few goes and about an hour, but in the end she was able to restore my device to stock (KitKat, so upgraded stock I guess since my phone came with Jellybean).

First she tried some automatic recovery, which failed.

Second she tried to have her system recognize my device, which also failed. She said that might be the device being too borked to work, but it could also just be that not every Samsung handset is in their auto-recognition system. The backup plan was easy; she went to a site and downloaded a stock image given the model number printed on the phone. I believe she used SamMobile.

Third, she tried a flash of M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB.zip using Samsung Smart Tool while my phone was in fastboot, but the flash only got to 1%.

She thought the 1% might be something incompatible about that ROM so she downloaded M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_TMB.zip and gave that a try, but only got to 10%.

Finally she went back and tried the first package again, this time it worked.

Note: After the successful flash the phone clearly would not boot all the way the first time. It got to the Tmobile logo and stuck therefor about 5 minutes before she restarted, at while point we saw some "android is updating X of Y apps" message, the booting completed after about 5 minutes, and the device is back to working and unencrypted!!
