Thanks a lot for capturing this

2 questions here:

1. Is there a changelog we can see to know the changes in this fix release?

2. I'm running stock 4.4.2 un-rooted, how do I flash this update? (sorry I'm a newbie to this specific device)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
There are 7454 changes made between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, so... good luck with that :-p

Android Police is probably going through it now, and I guess they'll post about the biggest changes when they're done (in a year or three I guess)

It'd be nice to see this just holistically packaged into a base 4.4.3 ROM, for those of us that have modified the /system partition.

hey if someone gets the FULL ROM OTA please share it asap... i was messing around with the ROMs and ways to flash and i messed things up so ROM on my phone is broken :P
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
@OP

can u disk dump the system image? and upload it?

you can use the command:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/data/media/0/system_dump.img

you can do this by hotbooting my recovery kernel:

fastboot boot boot.img

then mounting the /system & /data partitions and then do the system partition dump

I have the update it is a 154MB zip and am trying to upload it to my Box account. After that I am willing to restore to stock, flash update then pull what you need. I will require some instruction for mounting system and data. Awaiting your command.

Edit... Here is zip if it helpful (think i seen 89MB mentioned for another upload?) https://app.box.com/s/xj64bp19t79o0enpuxo4

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
I used to have an i9100 before and heavily tweaked it. I have a Nexus now and it is so much easier than S2 and I forgot everything. Now, my brother is got an i9100 and I would like to know how to get a custom recovery on it. I don't need root, just a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM will do.

Can someone link me how to install CWM or TWRP on this i9100? I want to install a KitKat ROM on it, such as Carbon ROM. I searched and searched but the instructions are for 4.0.4 only. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd_command:
Did you get Custom Recovery with out root before? I think it is not possible cos I9100 and other do not use recovery partitions. Never ever. CWM is on same partition what kernel is. Its mixed up together. When you flash root you will have Custom Recovery

Im loving the Molski Rom but its missing the Comm Manager Icon....any help here?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Shah2:
Hi

Why do you need the comm manager icon?? u can use the comm manager hardware button on the side of your wizard. That's what I do.

But i think the file (init_tray.lnk) put it in "windows/startup/" and do a soft reset. Should be enough to get the comm manager in the tray. It could be that the icon is missing in the Molski Rom. Not sure. Hope it helps

Cheers,

Shah
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] elite-fusion:
i dont know, im just used to that tray icon becuase its easy just to see if wifi is connected without clicking the button to see you know. im not quite sure exactly how to get the icon in the tray :-/

thanks for your help Shah2 but i dont know if it helps me or not becuase ihave no idea where to look for that file or anything like that :-/

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] PapaPrem:
Were you able to get the Comm Manager tray icon back? I already had the init_tray.lnk file in my "windows/startup/" folder. So I don't think that could be the problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] markyhedgehog73:
you need init_tray and wifiinit in the windows startup folder for the icon :)

Anyone have the wifiinit tray icon file that they can upload? I cant find it using the search option.
[Sprint LG G2] cmwalton12:
What would happen? If I setup a separate ROM slot in TWRP and flash the Verizon software onto my Sprint G2, would it boot? Reason being is I am trying some flashing procedures and want to try running the Verizon ROM, change my MSL to 000000 in DFS, and have it OTA activate onto PagePlus. I've had it work with other phones and wonder if it would work with this one.
[Sprint LG G2] daCLOUD:
No, it would not boot and you may end up with an expensive paper weight. I would not recommend doing that. Yes, with the Boost Mobile Moto G you can flash the Verizon ROM on it and it will boot and fully activate on PagePlus.

You can still change the MSL to 000000 on the Sprint ROM and it will activate on PagePlus with talk and text working. No data, not even 1x. You can then easily program the phone to get 1x data using CDMA workshop or DFS. Getting 3G of course is another story...

Has anyone had their rear camera fail?

Mine has performed flawlessly, and then all of the sudden tonight, it will not work. It says "Cannot connect to camera".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Stoowyguy:
Im at stock att 4.3 JB firmware with MK2 bootloader.

I wish to use safestrap to install a rom (maybe GE rom or just normal TW rom)

if after I install the loki modules and my rom boots will I lose my Tmobile unlocked status since this is an att phone.

also, do I have to odin flash a modem.bin for new 4.4.2 android version or can i just simply install a 4.4.2 rom and be good with current radio or modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
Since your are on MK2, no more Loki.

You won't lose unlock status.

Search for the all things at&t thread, it has lot of required info.

All you need for the ROM to work with T-Mobile would be the correct APN settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Stoowyguy:
Im so confused because safestrap forum says i need to retain to a MK2 based rom but in the Goldeneye thread it says added support for safestrap

also safestrap telling me to flash mk2 modules zip after every installation do I actually need to do this? im assuming your saying mk2 doesn't need loki kernel flashed ..

Also am i restricted to only TW roms i have the US i337 att phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
Let me clear some confusion of yours.

While on MK2, safestrap recovery can be used to flash 4.3 based ROMS.

We have Deadly Venom Kitakat tool that allows us to flash certain kitkat roms from the All Things ATT thread.

You will be able to flash the Golden Eye 33.3 safestrap edition. Follow the steps mentioned in the tool.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinlikesfood:
I replaced the LCD screen in my Nexus 7 today, and the attached photo is the result. I have read around a little bit, but cannot determine if I received a bad LCD screen, or if perhaps I damaged the ribbon cable. I have replaced LCD's in several devices, but this is the first time anything's gone wrong. Is there any way to tell what happened?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinlikesfood:
PS - I realize there was a previous thread about something quite similar to this, but I did not feel it really addressed the possibility that the screen is bad... I had re-seated the ribbon just to be sure it was on right, so I am fairly certain there is a bad part. I just don't want to go ordering more parts before the problem is properly diagnosed.

Thanks everyone!

If i use odin to flash a stock firmware will it delete all of the pictures inside the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
No. I have pictures and music and all SD card contents dating back to the time I bought the phone and I used Odin last week to return to stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
No, but you may need to factory reset, which would delete all the files in your device..

There are possible ways trying to get around this, but its safer to just back up your important files in case something unexpected happens
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
well the phone im doing it on doesnt start and just stays stuck on the samsung logo so do you think itll still work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Don't know, often times that means a factory reset might be needed, but can you tell me what happened to it? There may be other ways to fix it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
The phone belongs to a buddy of mine but he told me it just randomly happened.

btw nice e90
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Hmm.. Ok try flashing firmware with Odin, if that doesn't fix it then flash twrp recovery and reboot to recovery, after that do a factory reset within twrp.. This will perform a factory reset without wiping user files.. Reboot and it should boot up

Edit: oh and yes I know, wish it was mine :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
so the first odin shouldnt delete anything from the gallery? no matter which rom i flash

ohhh, if it was an m3 id be wishing too
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Right, but you're not flashing a rom, you're flashing firmware.. You could also just flash a rom, but I don't know how your buddy wants his device

Bro I love m3's!! Been in love with them since day one.. I just have that display pic because it looks nice lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
Alright well here goes nothing!

Hopefully when im done with my e36 ill be chasing those e90s

EDIT: When i attempt to flash with odin it says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) and the phone says odin flash write faliure
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What firmware version did you try to flash? If it was ever updated to 4.3 you can only ever flash the same or newer firmware again. So if it had been updated to NC2 before, you can only flash NC2 firmware. (Latest version). If this doesn't apply, you might want to try reinstalling drivers. Also, only use Odin v3.07 or 3.09.

You can try to odin flash twrp recovery though, then make a nandroid backup to be safe. It also has a built in file manager and you can use it to copy the picture folder from internal to external sd card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
I downloaded the latest 4.3 and tried to flash that but didnt work im not sure what the phone had before and can i flash the twrp recovery if the phone wasnt rooted?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes, you can flash a custom recovery without root. Its actually the original root method if I'm not mistaken. (Flash recovery, then from that recovery flash the SuperSU update zip. )

Since youre using the latest firmware, we know that's not the cause at least.

Few other things that are known to cause Odin to fail...

Make sure you are using the correct firmware for the device. (Make sure if its a T999, T999L, T999N, T999V and use the corresponding firmware)

If kies is on your computer, uninstall it

Try different usb cables, yes they quite often do go bad.

Try every usb port on your computer. I've seen more than a few people find it only worked on one usb port! No idea why...

Try different driver versions. Make sure you uninstall through device manager. Drivers are in my sig.

If all else fails, try a different computer if possible.

If I think of anything else ill add it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Yup, everything Doc said.. Double check firmware or Odin may be a little picky
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
I tried what you guys said and none of it worked and then i tried to install a recovery through odin and that worked. Through recovery I tried to install a zip firmware that i got from another firmware and now the phone does not start at all no boot screen no download mode no nothing. Is it fully gone now?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Firmware or ROM? And what zip is this you're talking about? Can you get into recovery? If not then you might have bricked it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
I used this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2403060 at the bottom of the first post

and yeah no recovery

but when i plug it into my computer it beeps like if something just was plugged in
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
That thread is pretty old and I think that was for LJA, if the phone was updated to 4.3 and you tried that it makes sense that it would brick.. Does it give you message in the connected devices?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmendoza23:
Nope
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Try the debrick thread
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup, if you recovery flashed an older firmware over 4.3, insta-brick!

To know for sure plug into the computer and open device manager. If you see QHSUSB_DLOAD, its bricked and your only hope of fixing for free is the debrick thread as serio22 said.
[Moto X Q&A] MrEndless:
So, the salesperson told me to fully use the current charge on the phone and then told me to charge it for 6 hours straight.

Now the 30% battery it had lasted for quite a while I fully discharged it, it turned off on its own.

Now it's been charging for 3 hours and it's already full. Should I leave it for the full 6 hours? or can I use it now?

I'm a bit anxious but I can wait if its better for the phone.

Thanks :laugh:
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
You're gonna get different answers with no scientific backing.

So here's the first: just do an extra 45 mins to an hour after it reaches 100%.

If you click the link in my sig and scroll to the bottom of that post you'll see my battery life which, is pretty decent.
[Moto X Q&A] MrEndless:
Thanks

Thanks man :)
[Moto X Q&A] DaRkRhiNe:
This is sheer non sense. Once the phone reaches 100 percent, the kernel cuts off the charging . What use would it be by charging it for another 45 hrs?
[Moto X Q&A] lopezpm:
I second this. Charging batteries had specific charging instructions years ago, that no longer holds true. Just charge the phone and use it. it's not that big a deal.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
It's just for calibrating the battery.

Let me just get this out of the way: most of the time it doesn't make a difference.

The only time it could (not always) make a difference is one of the following scenarios:

-phone sat for a long time while turned off (i.e before you purchase it)

-you hooked up your phone to the charger many times throughout one day and didn't allow it to hit 98-100% before you unplugged.

The battery has a chip built in [most lithium ion batteries have this because they are A) explosive and B) can kill you] which is responsable for a few things:

-"guessing" your current battery percentage based on the minimum and maximum recorded voltage value. For example let's assume a phone with a 5v battery shuts off at 3v. When that battery reaches 4v it will display 50% battery left.

-deciding what the shutoff voltage is. What I mean by this is let's say for example when your 5v battery reaches 3v at the end of the day, the chip decides it's time to shut off the phone and prompt you to charge it back to 5v

-constantly reading the the voltage in order to use that data to perform the decisions listed above

The voltage sensors in phones are, well, pretty bad due to the inherent space and power limitations. The voltage values swing back and forth between different values that are (sometimes) close to the actual value the battery is at. So the battery chip has to calculate an average based on all these voltage values. It then uses that data to do it's job, which is shutting down your phone when it needs to as well as display battery percentage.

So by leaving the phone in for a little longer after 100% once in a while, all you're doing is allowing the battery chip to collect more voltage readings in order to calculate the average more accurately. You're just doing it for the sake of sample size.

Realistically unless your battery is not calibrated, it doesn't really make a difference. But a phone that just came out of a sealed box is likely to need calibration depending on the manufacture date, or how long it "sat" for.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
It may cut off charging..

But on my X (Dev for Verizon, stock and rooted), even after reaching 100%, the battery symbol still continues to show the "lightning bolt"/charging symbol. If I leave it connected to my Anker Astro 3, it continues to draw power until I unplug it.

[MENTION=5891770]MrEndless[/MENTION], I agree with DaRkRhiNe and scorpion667. You're never going to get a straight answer.

Me, I ran mine down until the phone shut itself off, then charged it up to 100% and left it go over night and took it off the charger in the morning.

Once every few weeks, i do the same. Run it down until it shuts off and then put it on the charger and let it go until its been at 100% for a while. I never really say "xx minutes" or "xx hours" after 100%. It just depends on how long before I have to leave the house.
