[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
do check, is it running in background ? check your task manager. if so, kill the process. Kies should not run together with ODIN. Otherwise sometimes will give problem to your ODIN process.

I normally only install the USB driver only, as this is the only thing needed to connect your phone to comp (as MTP, or as ODIN connection).

ok, in a very simple word. download mode is basically a state whereby your phone is ready to download system files and install the system files on your device.

This is the only state possible to get a connection to your ODIN PC to flash stock firmware, recovery (in .tar/.md5 format).

How to get the KK ROM ?

1) identify your device. which model it is. N9005? N900T? N900A? N900 blablabla?

2) goto samfirmware.com (register there if you don't have account. it is free). after that you can just find your firmware by typing on the search device textbox your device model (e.g N9005), and it will come out the list of your device firmware (normally they will show for the latest firmware list)

3) choose the firmware that you want to download (if your device N9005 international 32 gb, try to avoid the Hongkong / Taiwan firmware, as they have different PIT partition).

4) once you have the downloaded zip file from samfirmware, extract the zip, and then you will get the (.tar/.md5) file. Now you can use to flash this one over ODIN.

:D

no. no. no.

This is how to go into download mode in your device :D

Not yet talking about factory reset.

But yes, you have to backup your internal storage, as sometimes upgrading will cost you to do factory reset, and your internal storage will be gone.

:D up to this point, I just remembered that you have N900A (AT&T) version. hahaha.

I go check the samfirmware, no release of KK yet at the samfirmware.

I'm sorry, I own N9005, and I never explore too much on the N900A, so I won't know what is the latest release, and where to get it other from samfirmware.

no problem. you just get your latest firmware first, once you have it, you let me know, i can give you step by step in detail, on how to flash to your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dardwizzle:
Sure sure, just laugh at me why don't ya!! LOL :D I will continue to try to find the appropriate firmware. I guess if I learned one valuable lesson in all this, it is just don't root your device if you don't plan on using custom ROM's. I had no idea that there would be no way to "unroot" your device once it's rooted. I was really hoping that you could just undo what ever is done to actually root the device, this way the OTA's will just start working again. Or that there would be a way to just force the OTA regardless of whether the device is rooted. I am not sure I truly understand why the OTA just won't install just because the device is rooted.I mean sure it adds SU to the device, and unlocks (I think) the boot partition or the boot loader, which ever, but regardless, why should the OTA package care and fail to install just because of that change?

Anyway, that's probably a discussion for another thread. I actually did find a Kit Kat zip that is like 150MB's it has a boot.img inside the zip, but it has nothing with an extension that ODIN can recognize. I would love to show you the zip, but it's too large to attach or email. The file name is 2400258.zip, but I forgot where I downloaded it from. It may be what I need to do the job, but with out someone seeing the zip I have no way of knowing if it's the files I need. I was not about to find any files with in it that are in txt readable format for me to say exactly what it is. It does have subfolders names Google and Android and the like but I am sure that is pretty useless with out seeing the full zip.

I will keep my eye on this thread and when I find something I can work with, or if you guys find anything I can work with I will come back and see where we can go next.

Thanks again bud!

Hey antique_sonic, no offence taken my friend, I am a giant goof ball, but I am also someone who doesn't mind working out my own problems. It's just sometimes with things like this where I am clueless and need a little hand holding. It's nice to know that there are people like you around to help out the dopes like me :) My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, and I will be looking into the link you sent tonight. I haven't been feeling well lately, I have two herniated disks in my back and I have End Stage Liver disease and I am only 39, so I sometimes get a bit under the weather and am down for the count for a few days. So I do appreciate your patience with me and all the help and direction you are giving me. I try never to abuse the help as that is no way to learn, and learning is actually one of favorite hobbies! Weird huh.... So, I am off to go read the link you provided me and update the stock on my website and hope I make some more sales so I can get some money to buy a new phone when I brick this one! LMAO! :) Thanks again Sonic, I really appreciate everything!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
No worries :) and yeah you should try to find first. by this way, you will learn faster, compare if someone do the spoonfeed.

My pleasure to help. And no worries for late reply, as I will do the same when I busy with my real life job.

you are welcome mate. I'm sorry to read the news about your conditions. I can't say anything about this, but wish you all the best. Don't ever feel down in whichever state you are, just do the best in life, and we will never regret that 1 more day has passed.

GOOD !!!

go and grab sales, rather than you brick the phone. :D:D:D

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
Hi folks,

I've had my Z2 stolen a few days ago and I'm going to get a Z1 compact to replace it. Sad story I know :)

Now I have a simple enough quesiton. The device itself comes with Android 4.3 and 16 GB of internal storage.

One thing that bothered me on Z2 was that I couldn't move the apps to the SD card, but with Android 4.3 I can.

When I get the Z1c next week I plan to root it, after taking a backup of the TA partition of course, but then I wonder will I be able to move the apps to SD storage and are there any issues with this?

It's my first 4.4 device that will be rooted, I was reluctant to root the Z2 since there was no way to backup the DRM keys, so I'm not aware of any limitations or drawbacks of upgrading to the latest version of Android.

I don't mind staying on 4.3 if that's the advice from the community :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
Thanks mate!

Should I root first, or let the phone update itself first?

And last question - is there an app or hack for KitKat to easily move applications and data to SD card?

I used to do it with Titanium Backup Pro, but I'm not sure that option exists anymore.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanuuu555:
My sis asked me to sim unlock her s3 so I had to root it first. I downloaded the appropriate CF autoroot and went one to flashing it. However I accidentally chose the autoroot file for the s4 (as I was rooting it a few days ago). So I disconnected the phone (Odin got stuck) and then flahsed the correct autoroot.

The phone boots fine now but doesn't discover any network and the IMEI is indicated as missing.

I have the original IMEI written down, but no efs backup. The phone runs on android 4.3 and the bootloader is I9300XXUGNB5.

Is there anything I can do to fix my dumb mistake?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecore:
no efs backup ,there's nothing you can do except to bring it to a service .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:

Howdy, everyone

If you may have tried to backup an app with a higher size than 100 Megabytes, you may have noticed that you will get an .apk file that is lower than 100 Megabytes even if this app consumes 1 gigabyte of your device storage.

*The reason behind this is that Google Play doesn't allow developers to upload an .apk file that's larger than 100 Megabytes, so for the apps and games that is bigger in size, they have to put some additional files which takes an extension called .obb and it'd contain the rest of the app assets.

-Backing up these apps:

#Head to the following directory in your mobile: /sdcard/Android/obb

View attachment 2797782

#You will find a folder named as following in general: com."developer name"."app name" with no spaces.

View attachment 2797789

#Locate the file of the chosen app then open it you will find an .obb files/file.

#Copy all the files inside there to your computer or any safe place, you may copy the whole folder.

#Get any app that could backup your installed apps into an .apk file, for example ES File Explorer from Google Play.

#Backup the required app and you're done.

View attachment 2797780

#When you are ready to restore the app, just create a folder inside the folder "obb" with the same name then put the files you copied from there before, or simply copy the whole folder again.

#Install the .apk file you have created through the app installer normally, then open the app while you have an Internet connection just to verify the setup and the app will automatically link itself to the folder you created.

Now your app is ready again

Best Regards

Bannora

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deception8888:
Hello everyone,

I read countless cases in communities on this subject and I have tried almost everything, I am quite at a loss,

My case is like this:

I used SLIMBEAM version 4.2 or 4.3 (can not remember ...)

Yesterday I decided to upgrade to version 4.4.2 (now it is called SLIMKAT),

Somehow I got stuck in a loop of the BOOT screen when I tried to just install as I did,

Then i FLASH again to CWM latest version and then installation worked properly. (At the middle of the road I tried things - I've done FLASH to STOCK)

Even when I did the FLASH to the STOCK and the new CWM , I noticed that I have no connection/emergency calls only,

I tried installing a few different ROMs and some old and new versions of the STOCK and all the same.

What I saw on that network after upgrade is a bug regarding losing IMEI or serial number, but in my case when I went to the ABOUT -> the IMEI is correct (as written at the back of the phone) and serial No is not 0000 ....

I forgot to mention that for all installations I did -> I played with all kinds of modems also (Every time I tried something else someone said helped him in various guides on the net ...)

Any ideas how I can solve it?

Thank you.

[update] also tried the "ARIZA Patch" and nothing works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
Which version of stock rom did you use?

If you were on 4.3 before then 4.1.2 will get network problems.

For SlimKat, you can try patched modems. Links are available in efs thread.

[Firefox OS Q&A] Mathews123:
Hi, I recently purchased the ZTE Open C and want to synchronize its calendar with my own Caldav server.

Firefox rejects the connection tough, because the server has an invalid (self signed) certificate.

So i tried adding my certificate to firefox.

I found this guide:

http : // wiki . mozfr . org / Adding_CA_to_FirefoxOS

(Sorry for inserted spaces, won't let me post a link in first post.)

However I fail in the very first steps.

adb shell ls /data/b2g/mozilla/

Returns: /data/b2g/mozilla/: Permission denied

This means I dont have reading rights in this directory.

How do I get those rights, or alternativeley is there a better way to achieve my Caldav-Server goal?
[Firefox OS Q&A] doragasu:
You cannot use that method unless your phone is rooted, BUT...

I had the same problem and solved it a lot easier. Just launch the browser and input your server's URL. Then you will be warned about the not valid cert, add a permanent exception and that's all, now calendars should sync over HTTPS.

BTW this worked for me until FFOS v1.4. Today I updated to FFOS 2.1 and this trick stopped working, so you have been warned.
[Firefox OS Q&A] Mathews123:
Thank you for the suggestion.

I am not running v2.0, so I tried it.

I could add the certificate.

However, when trying to connect, I get:

Any way to figure out what's wrong now?
