[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apefist:
After looking through some of the threads, I think I have a slightly unique situation.

I got my S4 through swappa, and it was already on MK2. I rooted using motochopper and installed safe strap, and that worked (when booting, I could get into the options screen mess with stuff, etc). I didn't install any ROMS since there weren't any I was interested in besides cyanogenmod

In my attempt to install cyanogen mod, I tried installing another recovery, I think TWRP. That earned me the unlocked symbol when booting, and I was stuck in a weird boot loop for a while. I started researching flashing a clean ROM onto my phone, but lo and behold, it actually fixed it's own boot loop and started up again.

That was a month or two ago, before the NC5 4.4.2 update. I decided since it had resurrected itself I would just wait for a bit and see what other tools came out.

After the 4.4.2 update came out, I ignored it for a bit. I tried installing the OTA update once and it went through it's song and dance and after it rebooted it said it couldn't complete the update so nothing was changed. I assume that is because it's rooted? I didn't really force uninstall any apps, I just disabled them through the included app manager.

So where I'm at now is I'm still on MK2, I can't install the OTA update, everytime I reboot my phone I get the unlock symbol and it says "Recovery Booting..." in blue letters at the top, but it never boots into any sort of recovery.

I have tried installing safe strap again and the safe strap app says "State: Installed" but when I reboot it says that recovery booting thing, and then just boots into the regular phone. I don't see the safe strap logo or button options at all.

Where can I go from here? Ideally I'd like to get on a custom ROM that's on the rootgalaxys4 website (it won't let me post links) but I don't know if I have the MDK bootloader, or even what my recovery situation is.

If anyone could help shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated!

Install phone info from play store. ..If you have mk2...bootloader and firmware I have no idea how you got a cm base rom loaded....As for taking an OTA. ..you have to be 100% stock...no root..nothing frozen.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apefist:
I actually don't have a CM base rom loaded, sorry if I made it sound like that. I am still on 4.3 stock w/ root. I wanted a CM ROM, and it seemed like I couldn't do it through safe strap so I tried to put TWRP recovery on there and I got boot-looped (which ended up fixing itself). Now I am trying to figure out how to get a recovery on there, and what my ROM options are (if I can get to 4.4.2 rooted, I would be happy).

I got the phone info program, is there any specific info you wanted off of there?

It says bootloader version I545VRUEMK2, baseband is same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Your ONLY option for recovery is Safestrap. You can ONLY install Touchwiz based Roms.

There are a lot of threads in the General and Development sections you should check out before you go any further. I would link them for you, but I'm on my way out. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apefist:
OK, well then my current problem is even though I have the safestrap app installed, and the program reports safestrap recovery as being installed, I can't access it. There is no safe strap screen while booting or button options, and even if I do the forced boot into recovery (press power+vol up+home at the same time and hold until you see the "Recovery Booting" message) it just boots to the normal phone every time.

Also worth noting is for every boot, no matter how i start it, it says "Recovery booting" at the top, but never boots into recovery. I have tried uninstalling safe strap recovery through the safe strap app and re-installing but it is the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
This is really hard to follow.

You can't root MK2 with motochopper, only MDK. Try installing the "Phone INFO *Samsung*" app from the app store to figure out what bootloader and baseband you actually have.

You can't install an OTA update if critical system files are modified, so you'll need to re-flash to a stock ROM to do that. But if it's really MDK, you do not want to allow any OTAs to upgrade your bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apefist:
Ah, ok, I did the root a while ago, so I think I mixed up which one I had used, I believe it was SafeRoot via this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758

Someone earlier suggested installing the phone info app above, so I checked it and it says I545VRUEMK2 for both bootloader and baseband.

The OTA update thing was just me trying to provide as much info as possible, I don't really want to do the OTA update because it seems like it removes root, and there is no good way to get it back on NC5.

At this point I would like to install some kind of rooted ROM, but I can't get into any sort of recovery. Safe Strap says it is installed but I can't boot into it.

Would the next step be to reflash a stock recovery? Is there some way to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Installing safestrap is a 2 step process. Did u do both steps?

sent by bajarom v2.2 kitkat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apefist:
If the two steps are:

1: Install the safestrap app (v3.71)

2: Go into the app and install the recovery.

In the app the recovery is listed as "Installed"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
ok buddy you want to upgrade i take it?

click on the thread in my signature and download the 1st file listed called the COMPLETE PACKAGE it has everything you need.

you'll start tho by reflashing MK2 system through Odin then rerooting via Saferoot then reinstall Safestrap. Then the 4.4.2 ROM you want to use then reboot to Odin/Download mode and flash any of my NC2/NC5 1 File Upgrade packages. This is the easiest and most simplistic way to help you get to where you want to go. This will also keep your bootloaders at MK2 and your KNOX intact at 0x0! THE COMPLETE PACKAGE has all the modules, safestrap, supersu ect then if you have any questions the guys or me in the thread will help u. altho if you really do have CM running on your phone take screenshots I've tried porting to work with 4.3 and altho i can get two AOSP roms working I've never gotten close with CM it needs a custom kernel which is something we cannot use with our locked bootloader. only AOSP/GE Roms that will work for 4.4.2 or 4.3 are ones that are compatible with the stock 4.3 or 4.4.2 kernels theres a thread in the development section for that subject as well.

hi

i have a nook hd and nook hd+

i installed cm10 on both systems using the permanent sd card method

the nook hd is used by my five year old and i heard her saying i am going to wipe minecraft

didnt think anything of it and tonight i powered up the nook and it has gone back to completely stock firmware

would the erase and wipe from the menu return it to stock even though cm was installed?

was i very lucky ? i didnt have a back up of the nook hd but i do have a back up of the hd+
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I'm not sure what you mean by the permanent sd card method. Do you mean using an sd card to install CM permanently to internal memory? If that is what you meant and you did not install CWM to internal memory, then it is possible that she did something to make it fail on boot and keep trying and the 8 failed boot procedure would kick in and reset the device to stock. The 8 failed boot reset fails if you have CWM on internal memory.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emu123:
hi

i used this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317500

didnt know about the 8 failed boot method , the nook was the wrong way round in the case and everytime it booted the power button was shutting it off

so it looks like its gone back to stock that way

ah i understand now , re reading the guide the cwm doesnt get installed to the internal memory only stays on the sd card

pretty handy for people wanting to get back to stock easily
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you read the guide carefully you will see that CWM does get installed on internal memory. It says to download and install three files and one of those three is CWM for internal.

So I recently updated to 402 firmware but was forced to downgrade back to 55 cause of severe battery drain and now back on 55 (after a clean install) the problem persists. I haven't installed anything yet and this is what my stats look like constantly

Note: Facebook is disabled... Lol and the name of the process that appears in the icon is: ANT HAL Service. I have no idea to check what's causing this since I'm not rooted. Anyone an idea?

Alright after countless restarts and force closing of potential apps that could be draining battery I managed so somehow make screen disappear completely from battery stats. I'm gonna reflash firmware cause this is kinda bull****. I've never had such issues before 4.4 and I'm getting the impression that there's quite a few issues with it so far.. :(

Update: after reflashing a clean rom 2nd time in a row I still can't get screen to register in battery usage :S

Anyone got tips for me? I'm this close to going back to the store and getting a replacement.

I tried flashing SGH-M919-UVUAMDB.tar and M919UVUAMDL.tar and I'm getting a "FAIL" on both. I'm downloading the official 4.4.2 firmware from the Samsung website (which is taking forever) and going to try flash that in Odin. I will be getting a Knox counter (which I didn't have before) but at this point, I just need a working phone.

It would help if you posted what error you got in Odin.. Also try different USB ports, PC, reinstalling drivers.. This is not a hard brick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
If you get download mode, try getting a recovery installed, like a phillz touch or cwm. look for one that will compliment your os that you have installed and then try getting into recovery.

You might even do as someone else pointed out, return to complete stock, and take it from there.....

Hey guys

I just want to drop a note here about an app I just came across, that I've literally been searching for for years on Android. On old Windows Mobile when men were men we had Hbutton and AE Button Plus that would allow you to do button combinations on your phone to do various things. (Turn on Auto Brightness when you can't see the screen in the sun maybe?) These can also take place while the screen is off.

Anyways, in case there is any other poor souls searching for someone to keyword this just right , here it is.

The app is called QuickClick and here's a link to the playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blor.quickclickgold

If you've got a better app that does this functionality feel free to post.

current support for this app

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if @bluenote73 of any of you could take this great app and give support to the latest versions of android that has today's devices, because i've tried since lollipop (5.1) to Nougat (7.0) and none of them support quickclick functionality.

It seems something happened with the volume steps and control since kitkat (4.4) and even with the service wakeup, because in this versions of android quickclick can't autostart, even if you use an thirdparty tool to configure it (like ES Admin).

I beg you, this is a great app, but it needs to relive and if would be great if bluenote73 releases the code for someone continues with the support, or if himself does it.

Best regards to everyone.

Why does doubletap2wake randomly stop working? It has nothing to do with phone being idle, still doesn't work after movement, have to unlock to get it back to work again.

Is this because of deep sleep or power saving mode enabled in sense?

I have this exact problem. At least 1-2 times a day, motion gestures will stop working and I have to use the power button to turn the screen on. I have tried everything when this happens (making certain phone is in portrait mode and held straight up, shaking the phone, tapping the corner of the phone before doing the gesture, etc.). I am well aware that the phone has to be moved before doing the gestures. This is my second HTC One M8 from T-Mobile. The first had scratches all over the back out of the box so I exchanged it. I don't recall this ever happening with the first phone. Maybe some app is messing things up? Could this be a hardware issue? I'm hoping it's a software issue.

Hello everyone, here's my first post in this great forum and I'm happy to be a member of it.

My phone is Xperia Z1 C6903 (LTE), I recently rooted it and unlocked its bootloader. I flashed it for about four or five times to KitKat 4.4.2 and its build number is 14.3.A.0.757, but two days ago I figured out that when I press the power button, it takes about five seconds more to show the unlock screen, and even it takes till 7 seconds to show the caller name and number.

At first, if anyone faced an issue like this and solved it, could you please help me?

Second, I heard that one of this forum ported 4K from Z2 for Z1 and Z1 Compact, and it needs Deodex Rom.

How can I install or I don't know it's exact verb, how can my phone have Deodex Rom?

That's my phone's info:

Xperia Z1 C6903, KitKat 4.4.2 (14.3.A.0.757), rooted with unlocked bootloader, has CWM, has Busybox.

Any other info you need?

Could anyone help me?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
It's in the same first page of the Stock Rooted Rom which you probably have used to root your phone. Download the Deodex flashable package and flash it from recovery and clean dalvik-cache.

Post 1 HERE

Probably this will also help your problem of the delay of the screen as you have to wipe Dalvik-Cache.

Start from deodexing your Phone and check if the problem persist.
