[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstre:
I drop my S3 at least once every day and I have one small scratch on the screen after 2 years. As for the M8 replacing a cracked screen once , that's nice..until it cracks a second time. I run my S3 on powersaving mode as well, it is disappointing to hear the S5 hiccups on it, especially since CleanROM would probably fix that.

What I'm taking away from everything you've said is that it's a truly great phone but not quite great enough to make up for no root. Thanks for your input, I will probably hang on to my S3 until root or a new release.

This is my first Android phone not unlocked and rooted, it is a little annoying but I am still extremely satisfied with it. It pisses me off that I pay $600 or so for a phone and I am limited to what I can do with it, but I am on the other hand grateful for the security! And hoping and praying that our devs won't let me down, and we have root soon!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlStyles:
If you paid 600, why not get the Dev edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tydiamond11:
I have always had root on all my phones but with this of course it does not have it. But where that is a big con the phone is amazing in the power and battery use. The camera is so big of a pro for me :) I can give the devs time for root. Becouse for me I can wait for that. I used root mainly becouse the phones I had did not have the newest Android so for me this works for now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdieHD:
Coming from the S3 myself running different ROMs including Alliance TW based ROM. I love the S5 and don't have many complaints about not having root. Although, I do seem to have issues copying files from internal sd0 to external SD card. Other than that I haven't run into anything that made me want to root it yet.

However, when root is available I WILL ROOT ASAP!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldrush36:
^^This. Although I have yet to experience the copying issues. I would like to remove the bloat and do some theming but overall the pure performance of the phone has allowed me to be content without root. With that said I will also root the minute someone finds an exploit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite49:
Pretty much this, have fully customized SIII and when I can upgrade in July I will probably pick up the S5. Hopefully by then some stuff happens with root. I don't mind about custom kernels but root is important so I can remove bloat, ads and recoveries.

The choice is tough, buy a S5 with removable battery and storage but no root. Buy a HTC with root but no removable battery and storage. Coming from a Droid X2 on release and getting the S3 on release....The S3 has spoiled us.:rolleyes:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdieHD:
The HTC One M8 does have removable storage. 128GB SD card compatible

IMO, 4.4 sux butt on all devices without root due to 'Goople' killing external writes. They truly suck butt. Using the lame security excuse is like if Windows killed external writing for apps. How would consumers like that?

I just got mine yesterday. I am coming from an S4 on TMO with unlimited LTE..... A) having to keep track of my data usage is going to be a challenge but at least I'll have coverage when I need it. I rooted my S4 and Note II before that the moment I got them home. I have not used a TW based ROM in two years. I thought not having PIE controls was going to be the death of it but the 'Toolbox' feature is pretty darn good. Now it's all the ads. I never realized how many ads there were!!! Holy Crap, I think the ads are going to eat all my data!!!! I have 13 days left before I can't take it back, but on Verizon, I don't see another option short of the S4.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
I honestly have noooo clue lol.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverepats:
Took this from Wiki

A mobile device making a data connection must be configured with an APN to present to the carrier. The carrier will then examine this identifier to determine what type of network connection should be created, for example: what IP addresses should be assigned to the wireless device, what security methods should be used, and how or if, it should be connected to some private customer network

Makes sense, the APK is needed so you device can communicate it the carrier to determine which network your phone should connect with. Still not sure what the need is, for multiple APNs, but at least I understand now what there used for exactly. The past week, I've worked again in downtown Boston, and my phone had no issues with handing off from 3G to LTE. Unfortunately I can't say the same for when I'm at home about 4 miles away. Kinda sux really. I know this isn't the topic for this thread, but I'm just hoping Sprint fixes this Spark issue soon, cause it's extremely frustrating.

Anyway, for anyone who wants a bit more info on APNs, Judy check out the Wikipedia page.

Hello,

I have tried to install cm11 on my ouya with the result that I got only a black screen now.

ADB says that the ouya is offline!

Is there any trick to get in fastboot?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
Did you have any type of recovery installed? Might be too late, but remember you need to have Bootmenu installed first, if you did, then it should be fixable. If it doesn't work...pretty sure Target sells OUYA in-store for like $35. Their website says $89, but the last few times I've been there they were $35-40.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibaxx:
Hey,

thank you for your answer!

I had cwm installed and was in cwm before! then i did something wrong ;)

Your tip with a new ouye is no help for me, because I am from germany.

Here costs the ouya 99€ that are nearly 135$.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
You need to have CWM installed, then OUYA BootMenu, then CM11. When you say ADB tells you the OUYA is offline, I assume you were doing the ADB TCP connection before. Does Windows detect anything when you have your OUYA plugged in to your computer? Does Device Manager show "OUYA (or OUYA 1.1)" with a yellow exclamation point? If not, then you're probably hosed - but, I believe their rooting policy is pretty laxed, you may want to see if it would be worth sending it in for a repair/replacement if you can't get it started.

Anyway, if it does show up in Device Manager, then you need to modify the USB driver (there are several guides, including on this forum), disable driver signing if necessary, and you should be able to get fastboot to work (assuming you're in this situation).
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibaxx:
Hi! Never used adb over tcp! Cwm was installed... i was in cwm and tried to install cm11 over adb... since this its bricked! I have bought my ouya on ebay and have no invoice... so there is no warranty!

The ouya is shown up as adp device... tried the other ones in the driver package i have got... it worked before this crash!

Gesendet von meinem XT894 mit Tapatalk
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
Does it show up as actually connected though? If it does, then the recovery partition should still be there (I can't imagine CM11 includes a recovery partition, otherwise we wouldn't need BootMenu it seems to me). If it does then adb reboot recovery should work, if you can get to recovery then you're golden.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibaxx:
What did you mean with connected though? if it is shown up in device manager? Yes it is!

I only see a blank screen on tv!
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
So if you type adb devices does it show up as connected? If it does, try adb reboot recovery.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibaxx:
Hi,

the device is shown up with its device ID as offline!

adb reboot brings: error device offline!
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHYSC-1:
This may help

Found an unbrick method it works as long as adb is on and clockworkmod is accessible,i saw your post and i uploaded my guide just so take a luck if you have had no joy,it has a tool to get if adb is not working for xp so you could try that if your on xp and only get OUYA? showing in device manager,this was my problem and this is something i figured out alone,i couldn't edit anything in ini files to make it work as adb device,but this tool saved my @ss.It took 48hrs of painstaking scouring the net to fix the device, i had put boot menu on but the console had been destroyed playing after showing red on normal boot,nobody gives the details anywhere i find in laymans to apply the cynogenmod firmware, someone should put one up on xda that has simple laymans step by step points to follow on setting it up,i got it on just would not boot past the logo for cynogenmod firmware?And online nobody has written a laymans tutorial infact only guide i found is the most uninformative and convoluted tutorial i have ever seen before.

Has anyone tried a Bunker Ring or FlyGrip on the M8? I REALLY want a kickstand, but they're all either ugly, or really thick. The Seidio ones are okay, but the kickstands are housed in a bumpout, and I've had stability issues before with kickstands that are off center. Also, they're expensive. I ordered a generic Bunker Ring from amazon for cheap, (instead of the original from Thehishop.com) to try it out.

Mostly wondered how it would do with the curved back of the M8. I'm thinking it 'might' be alright on a TPU case I'm getting, in that it might just pull the case out flat where its attached...but figured I'd see if anyone has tried...

I'll post my findings on it when it arrives, but it's coming from china...so it'll be awhile...

If you think about returning to a case with a kickstand checkout the "HTC M8 One 2 Puregear Kickstand Case Holster Combo" can be bought on Amazon for $16.99. It has a raised edge around the screen which protects it if you lay it screen down and the kickstand is stable. IR blaster works to. Comes with a belt holster or easy to carry in your pocket.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
I flashed my stock unrooted n8010 with the n8000 leak files using odin, I did not used the modem. All good and everything working.

Now I want to get back to stock n8010 jb. When in download mode the device apears like n8000 and odin is not able to flash the stock n8010 firmware.

I installed twrp and rooted, modified buildprop to apear like n8010 and tried to flash a custom rom for n8010, no luck, I get a message that the rom is for n8010 and to try a rom for my device.

How can I trick twrp or odin to make them flash n8010 fw/rom ?

I don't have a nandroid backup,

Edit : I managed to flash 4.0.4 with odin (N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_COA). After the flash it was stuck at samsung logo, I rebooted in recovery (power+volume up, release only power at samsung...) and wiped cache, wiped data and reset. Now the device booted with android 4.0.4 and I'm downloading a 568.29 MB update. I'll see what happends next...

The goal is to get back to stock jb, official (with triangle away I gues)

Edit: I updated to JB, but when in download mode the device is still N8000, so the problem is still not solved.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filchi756:
What version of Odin are you using ?Did you try to remove micro SD and full erase you tablets internal memory card? And why not 4.1.2 you install and not 4.0.4?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
Because 4.1.2 gives me error, tried 3 versions of Odin: 3.04, 3.09, and 1.85. Tried 4.1.2 from 3 different sources to avoid a bad download. I can only flash 4.0.4, android shows me n8010 but in download mode is still n8000. I have no idea why, I just can't get rid of the n8000 in download mode.

Maybe I need to flash separate files, just like I did with 4.4.2, bootloader. Ap , csc but I don't know where to get those files for 4.1.2, I only have .tar.md5 files.

I attached a ss with odin eror when trying to flash stock 4.1.2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filchi756:
Did you have success installing the bootloader of the leak kitkat rom? Cause mine failed always, the AP file is the 1 working on me only. I have downloaded this TAR_MD5_PACKAGER here( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2 ) that I'm using to repack the stock and using 7zip to extract the content of the .tar.md5 files, maybe you can try repacking it seperately using this 2 program. And try to install it using Odin( I'm using Odin 1.85). By the way you can still install custom 4.1.2 rom's right, specifically for 8010 ? Lastly why do you wanna go back to stock 4.1.2 do you have problem with the leak rom?

P.S. Did you format your internal memory as I suggested? Cause once I install back to 4.1.2 have error before and have to install twice the rom( that is according to my experience which some think its not relate to installing error).maybe you can try to format all from the system to the internal memory via CWM recovery /mount section.Then try to install again and remove the SD card too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
I had no problems with the kit Kat files, flashed at the same time bl, csc and ap (no modem). I used odin 3.09. I managed to get back to 4.1.2 by flashing stock 4.0.4 then using OTA (im surprised it worked) . Someone else flashed directly 4.1.2 with mobile odin and worked, but with odin from pc you get an error.

The problem is that in download mode appears like n8000; hopefully, when official kk for n8010 is out we'll be able to fix that.

I'll stay with a 4.1.2 stock n8010 fw that is using an n8000 4.4.2 bootloader. Sexy :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torchwolfery:
Well from everything I've read it seems the problem is that when we flashed the kitkat leak, flashing the bootloader is what allowed us to flash n8000 over our n8010. This could be why when we flash back using odin we get the error cause the bootloader isn't being flashed too so it's trying to flash n8010 onto what it reads as n8000. It seems that there are only a few solutions. 1we need to find a n8010 bootloader file which so far seems to be impossible to find. 2you can flash an original n8010 cmw or twrp back up it will return you to 4.1.2 n8010 but the bootloader will still be n8000. If this option isn't available to you then you can try 3 download a custom rom I have the darkmans customers stock as a backup and it still works going back to simple stock n 8010 but again the bootloader stays as n8000...

Basically until we can get an n8010 bootloader we are stuck with it...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
I even rooted the 4.4.2 leak and tried to flash a custom 4.4.2 made for n8010 and did not let me (based on the same leak i think, so the same bootloader) and failed, twrp sees the device as n8000 and did not allowed me to use n8010 rom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torchwolfery:
I think I read somewhere that twrp can have issues with flashing 4.4.2 roms it needs to be the most up to date version of twrp... I tried cm 11 before and had to change to Cwm. But I went back to twrp and now it works
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
I used twrp 2.7, I think it's the latest.
