[General Questions and Answers] daveinadub:
Hi there,

At my girlfriend's house there's an existing WiFi access point for their home network and they also have a bunch of computers wired in with ethernet cable. Mobile reception in the house is terrible but I've found one spot by a window where I can sustain a pretty decent dc-hsdpa link. I'm able to tether my laptop to my phone, the phone creates a new WiFi network ap and my laptop connects to that. That works fine.

The thing is, what I'd really like to do, is to have access to the dc-hsdpa connection from some of the wired computers on her home network. To do that I want to have my phone bridge the house network - via their existing WiFi ap - to the mobile internet connection. I'd like the phone to provide a gateway on the house network that could be manually used from the other computers. (I want to avoid using DHCP or anything as it will disrupt the network for other users.)

I know this is technically possible but I'm struggling to find an application that allows for this functionality. I've spent a good amount of time searching around the internet but to no avail. Does anyone know where I can look or of a suitable application? (My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 flashed to run a rooted variant of the play edition KitKat rom.) I'm happy to pay money.

Cheers, Dave.

I just bought a Galaxy S3 from someone and it was already rooted. I am not able to add this phone to my Sprint account because of it. SO I looked up threads on returning the phone to stock and they all say if you have this new update you cannot go back to stock because of this knox warranty and warranty. When I loaded the boot screen thing it says warranty: 0. Or something like that.

So is there a way I can revert back to stock and UNroot my phone??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
The phone being rooted has nothing to do with activating the phone with Sprint.

If you mean by boot screen download/bootloader mode and you see warranty bit 0, sounds like you already have kitkat (with knox).

Go into settings\about phone and see what your android version is.

And yes you can go back to stock un-rooted.

Get back about your version of android and then you can go from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] michaelemerica:
I have version 4.4.2.

The reason I believe this is the reason I cannot activate for Sprint is because I sold a rooted phone to a friend and they could not activate it. I got the phone and unrooted it back to stock and it was able to be put on their account.

But yeah, I think it will work after I am able to unroot it. I'm just nervous bc all of the threads I have found have a warning telling me not to use their method if I have that Knox Warranty in the bootscreen. They said it will hard brick. But most of those threads are from a few years ago. I guess because it's an older phone.

If you could find me a method to return it to stock / unroot I'd appreciate it so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
That's a new one on me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I've never heard of root being the cause of activation problems. As long as you are on a tw rom it should work. A quick search would have given you this though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533

[FULL RESTORE][TAR] Stock ND8 Odin FLASHABLE [4.4.2]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Ok,

First go download Holo Backup. Extract the folder in the zip file to your desktop:

Get it Here:

http://omegavesko.github.io/SimpleADBBackup/

It's a self contained ADB solution for backing up your apps etc. Instructions are on the web page. Pretty simple really. Make a backup(s) and store it in the Holo folder on your desktop.

Then as metalfan78 said, go and get DR CDMA's stock tar file. You will Odin that after you back up.

Get it Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533

It will restore you completely to stock, un-rooted with stock recovery.

Then use Holo backup to restore.

Thats it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Does Holo backup work good? I have only used titanium backup for the past 5 years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Well, I use TiBu exclusively but I wanted to have an alternative incase something went wrong. So just before I finally moved to ND8 I gave it a try and it worked perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Nice, I'll have to give it a try sometime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just note, when you Odin the ND8 tar, it'll wipe your internal storage (not your microSD), so if you've saved any pictures or downloads to the internal storage, copy them to your SD and / or PC / cloud.

HEY GUYS IT WORKED!

I'm not sure if my phone had a custom rom on it from the previous owner or what. It's an almost brand new phone, no scratches or anything. But my last phone did this same thing only it was easier to find the file to un-root. I want to say it's a Samsung thing... but that could be false. My last phone was a Samsung Epic.

But anywayyy. You guys solved my problem 100% and I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me. XDA is the best. I come here for most everything.

THANK YOU.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
That's great.

Now for the sake of the masses, explain exactly what you did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] michaelemerica:
-----------

I bought a phone from a friend and called Sprint Customer Care to make sure it wasn't lost/stolen. It wasn't but they still weren't able to activate it because they said my device wasn't supported by Sprint and was not a Sprint device. (It definitely was. It had a Sprint model #, Said Sprint when I booted up, and said Sprint on the back of my phone)

I tinkered with my phone and realized it was Un-rooted by being able to go into Odin download mode. You can go into download mode by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. If it works you are rooted. There may be other ways to check, but that's how I did it.

I was having trouble un-rooting my phone because many threads I came across said I couldn't Un-root my device with their method if I had Knox Warranty on my phone. Their methods were for older android versions. (They said it will brick my device if I did it that way.)

You can figure this out by going into download mode by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. If your device says Knox Warranty or Warranty Bit on the screen then you have the update. SO USE THIS METHOD TO UNROOT / RETURN TO STOCK.

I asked XDA and they gave me this handy little website that allows you to un-root and return to stock with instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533

***BEFORE YOU DO THIS BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA WITH HOLO BACKUP SO YOU DONT LOSE ANYTHING***

The only other problem I ran into while using this method is downloading the .tar.md5 file. The website wouldn't load the Captcha for me to enter to begin the download. So I looked around and the other one I found was downloading WAY too slow.

SO I found and used this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491966461

It worked perfect.

Instructions:

The only thing they forgot to mention and it left my phone stuck on the Samsung boot screen is you must go into Recovery Mode (power off, then Power button + Home + Volume up) and CLEAR THE CACHE.

Reboot your device

Once it boots up call Sprint or talk to a representative online to activate your device and they will walk you through it.

VOILA, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Just so you know, you can get into download mode whether you're rooted or not, being rooted has nothing to do with being able to boot into download mode

Glad you got it all sorted. I figured that's all you needed.

It doesn't always get stuck like that for everyone. That's a generally good way to fix that kind of problem any time it does happen, though.

Will this work with 4.3 w/knox?

Will this also work on Android version 4.3?

I have 4.3 with Knox and have rooted my phone and also have loaded Philz Touch 6 (CWM Base Version: V6.0.4.5).

I've attached a screen shot of my complete phone info. I would like to return to stock and upgrade to 4.4.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Yes, it will work. The tar link is the 4.4 stock tar. Just backup using holo, or backup of your choice, flash the tar, then philz, reroot, profit :)

Hi ive installes 71.1 on new phone i received today. I s-off with rumrunner. Have twrp installed. Latest firmware from arhd website. All works fine apart from when i use the keyboard on browser. I use the mobile page of fb for example. Try to type and on arhd 31.6 the keyboard appeared and the screen moved up so u could see what you was typing. On this version it doeant do this. Have full wiped twice incase was a rom install fault but no luck. Only way i can see what is being typed is by closing the keyboard. Checking then opening keyboard again. Type blindly and check again.

Does anyone know how to fix this pls
[Nexus 7 General] 117micc:
Ok, so as the title says, I have a nexus 7 16gb 2012 model with a broken screen. I purchased a 2$ OTG Cable online and bam it works, plugged in my logitch wireless mouse and a little cursor popped up ;) took me forever to get the key board to pop up but it involved pushing Swype to it and manually setting it up lol... So is totally working, other than the touch screen of course.

I was hoping to eventually fix the touch screen, but the charging port works 100% of the time with the ITG cable, but when it comes to charging it, it can be a pain. I have tried multiple chargers and finally found one that works when I'm nice to it lmao.

So I guess my point is, I want to fix the screen and the charge port at a reasonable cost. I see fellow XDA'ers buying the 32GB 2013 model for 100$ so I don't really want to spend more than 30$ to 50$ :-\ Can anyone help me in my search for parts and tools and I'll be forever grateful and appreciative for your help :cool:

Thanks a bunch

Sorry i cant post links yet....but Go to Amazon

My key words for search were screen ;digitizer. Change keywords up to get different results. I saw one not very long ago, a full replacement for $43.

Also check out some websites that cater to repairs. The one i like is iFixit. c o m, very good tuts. BTW, the nexus is probably the easy to fix out of any i ever pulled apart.

Just dont rush fixing it, take your time. Make sure your connections are nice and secure.

Hope this helps, if so please hit thanks.

Good luck and happy repairing.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cseilern:
The Hermes wiki lists all the file contents of all extended roms of the hermes variants, but there is no explanation of what these things are.

I have a Vario II with a T-Mob ROM and _depetrately_ want to get rid of their "interesting" pink theme.

So I hard reset the handset, soft reset it just before it auto launches t-mobile customisation and then make the extended rom visible.

Problem though, is that after that I dont know what is what in the extended rom: I want to avoid everything pink, but at the same time still apply patches, etc...

SO: here is a list of all T-Mob ext rom files, and if anyone knows for sure what they do/are, please post here. It may even be worth updateing the wiki with the results.

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Hermes-Camera-patch-060613.CAB *** CAMERA PATCH

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Account-MMS.CAB *** MMS CLIENT?

CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_rilgsm_patch.CAB *** GSM PATCH

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Patch_RTPlugInEx2.CAB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
I can't help you with what bits are what in the extended Rom but thought I would mention that you can change the theme even without having to change the Rom.

All you need to do is go into the 'Start Menu', 'Settings', then click on the 'Today' button. In there you will see a list of themes, just select the 'Windows Default' , click 'ok' and the pink will be gone :) You can download lots of free themes off the internet as well if you want to customise your phone further.

Not sure if this helps but hope it does.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cseilern:
thanks Nicky :D , but I was actually after more than that (i am currently running Vistabliss theme).

what i was trying to do is remove ALL operator changes: e.g. program groups, ie favourites, certain installed apps (i am allergic to the mms client... dont ask why... i dont know myself...).

what i want to do is start with a wm5 in its most patched and up to date state, withoutt anything the operator thinks i should use or look at, and then add the 4 or 5 apps that really matter to me.

the best way to do that is by differentiating what is in that extended rom (e.g. a standard Hermes, with no patches of any kind cannot do any video calling...), and separating operator marketing material from functional applications.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
Oh, okay ... I thought from your post that you sounded like you were fairly technical so I suspected that you probably already knew about the various standard settings options available but thought I would mention them anyway just in case you didn't :)

I haven't quite ventured into the area of Roms, extended Roms and registry editing yet but I am gradually building up to it :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajieyap:
Hi i have a question i read here in forums that before you flash a kitkat rom you need first cwm version is 6.0.4.7 higher i have philz touch 5 and my cwm version is 6.0.3.2 how can i update my cwm to 6.0.4.7 im sorry im newbie tia and godbless :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treysis:
If you want to flash KitKat, then I suggest you just follow the guide on cyanogenmod.org. In the howto, they provide you with the download link for the correct custom recovery and also how to apply it to your phone. I also had an old CWM version before and so the installation of CM11 failed. After I flashed the one from the guide, it just worked!

Here's the link:

h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 (sorry, I'm not allowed yet to post links!)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I don't know if a different kernel (like the PhilZ touch) also removes the superbrick bug. So maybe you shouldn't do a factory reset after putting the new CWM. I did it with mine, it didn't brick. Maybe I was lucky (had a rootet phone before, don't remember though which kernel).

Hey mates.

Do you know any audio player apk that has an Limiter to it? for free?, i would like to have gonemad player or something like that but the payment is done by credit cards and i don't have one :( , i would like to pay by the money in my SIM Card but it isn't possible :( . So if anyone knows an apk that is free with a Limiter tell me please, or if i could request: someone make an apk like that is possible :S.

Thanks by the way :). Cheers :good:

You can purchase gonemad music player with paypal: http://gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
Thanks for the answer :) , i saw that Portugal isn't on the list of country's that can use Paypal to buy apps on Google Play, but i also saw that i still need a credit card or bank account for this Paypal and i just said that i Don't Have a Credit Card 'the same as saying, i don't use Bank money yet and i don't have it'. The only way for me was to buy apps with the money of my SIM Card, if there isn't a way to do that then i have no choice but to go to free software :( . Why i don't have bank accounts? Still got no job 'never had', so not needing the use of an account for now'.
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
Well i guess it's a impossible request for now =/, i wanted it more to not need to buy new phone because if i at least liked to hear music on my phone 'a Xperia Mini Pro x10' then i would be happy with it because hearing Music is the best part for me on a phone and it's what i most do with it after the Sending of Sms of course xD, but if i got no reasons to like the phone then oh well it's what i have =S, and i'm lucky to have a phone like this of course i know that, but it's also true that human beings always want better as time passes by.

[General Questions and Answers] pinkLeviosa:
I personally use playerpro with dsp pack plugin its very nice this is my favorite music player so far... you can also use volume limiter free in google play store ...
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
Thanks for the answer. Yes it's a good player but it's also a paid one that i can't aford because of what i said about not having credit card, only way was to buy by Sim Card money. Volume limiter is just another app to up and down the normal volume of the phone, it's not a limiter to avoid Distortion on playing music, the goal is to hear music as loud as i can but without distortion, that's why i need the limiter.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] pinkLeviosa:
i found something nice and im currently trying it and its nice try 3d Maven music player.. i only think this is youve looking for...:fingers-crossed:

and also pls. try volume limiter & lock... this is different
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
I had tried it as well but that doesn't have the Limiter in it :S. Volume limiter e lock is a different thing, it's to Save The volume settings that you want and won't permit you to change those values, this is in case you accidentally switch volumes of your alarm etc...

Maybe i didn't explain correctly what i want xD, i'll try to explain more detailed:

For example, you know that there are songs that have more volume than others, the same will keep happening even if you put an Equalizer because it affects all songs, so if you use the Equalizer for the Low volume songs to be higher then that will make the High volume songs Distort for sure. Example: Song 1 has 94db and Song 2 has 99db, i use equalizer to gain 6db, so now Song 1 has 100db and Song 2 has 105db, what will happen? that's wright, Song 1 is on the limit without distorting '100db' but Song 2 is Distorting Way Big '105db'.

So the only way to prevent that distortion from happening is...with the (Limiter), that will make Song 2 reduce to 100db avoiding it's distortion.

Examples of that is Gonemad Player, Poweramp, Playerpro and RocketPlayer, the catch? All of them are 'paid' :(

That's why i'm asking help to see if there's a free alternative, or if it's possible to pay the apps with money from my Sim Card.

Cheers

Well it was a misunderstood i thought so xD, sorry for what? you're only trying to help so there's nothing to be sorry about xD.

yeah i think so too.. xD still I'll try to find and help you :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] CrazeXDA:
Well, i think you should start considering to buy a new device. At least a JellyBean 4.1 will do. It's worth buying rather than paying an app to achieve your wishes.
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
If it wasn't for the part of wasting so much money on a device 'specially not having a job or credit card, with almost no money left' that would be my first option. But i can't afford one right now, so the only way is by an app. Besides...I will always need an app like this on any device because No Device has a Audio Limiter xD.
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy Seed:
Solved!

Hey mates, thanks for the help :). Viper4android really was the solution after all :), but it can only be version 2207 because other versions will do awkward restarts to my phone, this version is stable and has everything 'limiter, reverb, stereo widening, output gain' very good indeed :), only thing is that i can't use convolver because that will crash android system and make the same awkward restarts then so i must be careful. No need for new device now xD :).

pinkLeviosa, if you're trying to find the same thing as me, then also try viper4android you will like it ;).

CrazeXDA, looks like you were right after all since there still was one version stable for my phone 'not available anywhere, only on 4shared, not easy to find' xD.

Looks extraordinarily busy and incoherent. The Sony logo on the homescreen looks especially bad, the lens flare looks out of place, and when in the app drawer looks pretty awful when behind all the apps. UI elements look pretty meh, the colour gradients scream 90s and early 2000s, the font is inconsistent (the middle pictures in the 1st and 2nd row cause a massive clash between the wallpaper and text). The top notification bar is hard to read - the transparency makes whatever is in the top left of it nigh on impossible to read, as well as the "Sat" being smaller in size then the time. There's a mismatch in layers for the homescreen - the Sony logo appears on top, with the metallic stripes below that, and the lens flare below that, causing unsightly shadows. The halo behind the Sony logo is also not the same shade of blue as the notification bar and navigation buttons.

0/10 would not even go near.
