S-on, unlocked, rooted with CWM recovery

If I am reading everything correctly, in order to get the latest update I need to lock the bootloader, get s-off, then back to s-on, then get the updates OTA?

Can someone help me with this, or lead me in he right direction?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] NxNW:
Um, no, the only thing you need is in the title of your post, the latest stock recovery for your specific phone.

Do not worry about locking or unlocking, rooted / unrooted, and for God's sake if you ever do achieve S-OFF don't go back to S-ON for any reason.

Assuming you haven't been doing any thing too crazy with your phone prior to this, you just need

-stock ROM (w/stock kernel)

-nothing missing from /system

-stock recovery

Get all these things in place before you attempt to "check for updates"

Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

I'm in Australia, and i'm pretty sure we're the last lot of Note 3 owners to get the 4.4.2 update.

Is there an OTA that we can use to update to 4.4.2?

Currently on 4.3 still MJ7.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajgftw:
You could flash any of the 4.4.2 firmwares available via Odin. Depends how you feel about tripping the Knox counter.

I'm in Australia as well and after my s3 I knew we would be one of the last to get any updates so I just went straight to 4.4.2 via odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leocris:
If he allways install a new oficial version from odin it will never trip Knox counter, i´ve done it myself, i´m using a version from the Netherlands. it will change your csc though...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsurin:
Also from Aus here. Gave up waiting officially as of yesterday and installed the UK (BTU CSC) firmware via ODIN with no issues at all. I didn't need to wipe my data, it all just worked as though it was a standard upgrade.

Next time I will just import one. Especially with trigger-happy KNOX I couldn't be bothered worrying about whether my Aus warranty is intact (I pad $300 "Aus tax" to buy it local vs import - not worth it). I doubt I tripped my Knox flag as it's an official unmodified first party firmware from Samsung that I installed..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasterato:
Which provider are you?

So it didn't wipe apps or anything? Did it install any other boot logo? Or other provider bloatware? Or is it a plain stock Samsung UK firmware? Can you roll it back later?

Just trying to work out if its 100% worth it or if I should wait. I am getting antsy though.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
When flashing other regions firmware, sometimes it comes with the additional bloatware from the region. It's normal.

You can just disable the bloatware from apps manager. :)

If u tired waiting and wanna try kk, just give it a shot.

Once ur region comes with kk, u can always flash back from odin. :)

I'm on Optus, but pre-paid. I bought an unbranded phone. Do you have a carrier branded model?

From what I remember I don't really notice a difference in boot logo. But then again, I've always had the unbranded XSA version. If you have a branded version, it will likely revert your boot logo to an unbranded version which may/may not be desirable to you.

Don't think that's easy... I also tried looking for these same icons before to no avail. AFAIK it's hidden deeply into androids system files since before 4.3 it's still black and white while when I updated to 4.4 it became colored icons. So far I have searched textinput-tng.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk. SemcGenericUXPres.apk to no avail.

Still a no :D The smileys in gtalk is different than the one on Xperia Keyboard. Try using the emojis in hangouts chat and see the difference :p I would assume it's stored in a .so library file encoded into a byte array or something else.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not sure why you would assume that when the majority of images are stored in the res folders. I've decompiled the Hangouts.apk to have a look and found them in the drawable-nodpi folder.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Yeah I know there are emoji icons in hangouts apk but trust me it's not what Sony uses. Even if you try changing the icons there it won't work other than the smiley option in the hangouts app. But the sony ones will still persist on any text input field on your android device. In fact you can totally delete the Hangouts apk and still have the emojis untouched :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:

The "Xperia" Theme disappeared after I updated my Xperia Z (6616) to FW 4.4.2.

I know this seems fairly unimportant, but did anyone else notice this? I really liked the Xperia theme, specifically the unlock screen that showed the lit up world at night. I think I might have noticed it under the Xperia Z1 forums but wasn't sure if that download was compatible.

Is there somewhere I can download that theme for my Xperia Z or would I have to revert to the previous firmware version?

Hi

I have some oddness going on with my Hermes, but I don't know whether it is a software problem, a ROM problem (I'm running the latest i-mate rom) or an inherent hardware problem.

I keep setting the screen backlight timeout to 1 minute or more (I hate the 10 second default), but as soon as the phone is placed into standby, it reverts back to 10 seconds.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could you try it out for me and report back? I'm so infuriated that I'm about to do a hard reset to see if the ROM is to blame.

BattleTank
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] martin_ayton:
Same issue. I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II. Hard resetting doesn't help. The best I can suggest is that you uncheck the 'turn backlight off after...' That setting does stick. It's a fast way to a flat battery though if you have alarms and reminders going off when you aren't there to acknowledge them and turn the thing off again.

Oh, I'm looking forward to a ROM update...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] battletank:
Out of interest, do you have SPB Diary installed? I'm trying to track down a culrpit, and this is on my 'possible' list.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mdajax:
out of curiosity, would you happen to have goodlink installed? the backlight issue was a know problem with ver. 4.8 and below. 4.9 seems to address this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] martin_ayton:
No, I don't have SPBDiary.

No, I don't have Goodlink installed.

Installed s/ware:

SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Weather

SPB Backup

eReader

SKTools

Conuits Pocket Player

Resco Explorer (and the ftp and registry editor plugins)

Pocket RTA (real time sound analysis, in case you're interested)

Skype

TCPMP (now there's a great prog which hates the Hermes :( )

MS Voice Command

XnView Pocket
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] battletank:
Interesting - the only overlaps we have are Resco and SPB Backup. I can't imagine that either of these might be responsible.

Another possibility; are you synchronising with an exchange account which automatically enforces policy restrictions? Or do you have a password set?

I did notice that on hard reset the problem went away and, actually, the default became 30 seconds instead of 10. Once I've then restored a backup (made using this same ROM version), it's back to the frustrating behavior and 10 seconds as default.

So, for my next investigation, I'm going to hard reset, then add software one item at a time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] battletank:
Strange...

So...

I just did a complete rebuild, adding all the same software... and the problem has gone away.

I can think of only three possible explanations:

1. There's a problem with restored SPB backups which is causing this. I know my phone had previously been restored from a backup, and I see also you are running SPB Backup.

2. The problem is still there, but has not appeared yet - a scheduled event (again, possibly a scheduled backup) may trigger it.

3. It was caused not by installed software, but by something that has been installed and the uninstalled. One possibility on my side is TCPMP, which I've previously had installed and I see you also have installed.

I'm inclined to think it's (3), as TCPMP does alter backlight settings by design. One and two can be eliminated with time, so I'll report back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] martin_ayton:
No - no exchange server sync yet. I do have a password set.

It's a thought. This particular unit has been working on a SPB Backup from the word go. My wife put the previous unit through the wash (3 days old - boo hoo!) so I restored straight onto the replacement.

Well TCPMP is working so badly at the moment that I'm quite prepared to uninstall it. When I have a quite moment in the next few days, I'll give that a go and report back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] battletank:
Further to this, I've just restored a backup on my 'newly built' phone and, again, we're back to 10 second timeout. It appears it's down to SPB Backup. I'm raising this with SPB, but there's no reference to it on their website.
