[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyxdan:
Hey everybody, if you've already opened up this thread, you already have my gratitude for seeing what my problem is.

If you haven't already caught on, I want to unroot my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have no idea why I decided to root it in the first place (maybe because that's what everybody else was doing? maybe because I'm just stupid? who knows), but now I really need to unroot it because I need the latest firmware.

The thing is, I've done a lot of stupid stuff to try and unroot it. I know, I should have looked for help instead of going out and doing stupid stuff on my own, but.. well, I don't really have an excuse - I'm just an idiot. My phone is still fully functional, but the device status is custom. But let me just tell you what happened.

1. I decided that I didn't want this phone to be rooted anymore. I opened up SuperSU and investigated the settings, and found an option to uninstall the phone. I decided to just go with it, and I uninstalled it. Everything went smoothly, nothing big happened, and before I knew it, SuperSU wasn't there anymore and everything seemed okay.

2. But it wasn't. I checked my device status, but it was custom. I was so confused. Wasn't it meant to be back to normal now? SuperSU wasn't there anymore, but it was still.. rooted? I turned on my S4 on Download mode. It said that it was still custom (or something similar to that, I don't remember the specific word). By now, I was confused and scared - what have I done?!

3. I searched around the internet for tutorials, and one in particular told me to download TriangleAway. Sweet, an app that unrooted and all I had to do was sit back and relax and let it do it's job! So I downloaded it and... it said that I didn't have SuperUser permissions or that I was unrooted. WHAT. I re-downloaded SuperSU and it said "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" JESUS CHRIST, tell me something I don't know, SuperSU! You're useless to me!! How could something be rooted yet unrooted at the same time? Life is so hard.

So now I'm sitting here, typing on my laptop, wondering what I could do to fix everything that transpired today. I searched up tutorials, but none of them had the same specifics on their phone as mine was. You see, my phone's baseband version is different from most. I have no idea why, but I'll list everything specific out here:

Model number: GT-I9505

Android version: 4.2.2

Baseband version: I9505XXUBMG4 (and for some reason, there is barely any help regarding this baseband, is it really rare to have this or something? or is is just the same as the I9505XXUBMGA? I don't know, so I don't want to take the risk)

If you've read and got up to here, you are already in my gratitude. If you help me, you have my thanks, and even if you don't, you still have my thanks for reading thus far.

If you could please help me, it would make this world just a little bit better! Thank you in advance. If you need any more information, please just tell me and I'll do the best I can to provide you with it.

Once you flash root the custom word wont get away unless you use triangle away to get rid of it that the use of triangle away and if you want stock :

Download latest firmware for your model and flash it through Odin done.

Why do you take the hard route?

You know you can just flash the stock rom you want with Odin? No need to unroot etc.

Hi at all, if i unlock the BTL, i can lose the possibility of the OTA update ? also if i have the root and twrp ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H113408:
No, you will not loose the OTA update. I did it and I got the first update.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simo.scorpion:
after the ota update i lose root, twrp and BTL return locked ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
You will most likely lose root and TWRP, but your bootloader should remain unlocked.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simo.scorpion:
thanks guys, last question there is some risk to unlock the bootloader ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
If you're worried about bricking the device, the risk is very low. All you are doing is simply typing "fastboot oem unlock". It isnt meant to be anything dangerous or risky.

In terms of security however, there are some risks. If your bootloader is unlocked, a thief can easily flash a recovery and pull your potentially important and private information/data. Although the likelihood of the thief knowing how to do this is very low.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Ak:
Sir will this guide also work for Oneplusone on cm13-Incremental-OTA-Official?

searching everywhere but couldn't find any guide to unlock bootloader on official Cos13.If anybody has successfully unlocked his bootloader on official cm13 then kindly guide the same to me.

Thank You.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daredevil061305:
If there is not a chance of rooting or putting a custom rom on my note 3 then what's the purpose of even having this thing. It's nice but my note 2 has much more options as far as putting a custom rom on it. What has Samsung done? Are they in competition with HTC as far as locking us out of our own devices that we pay several hundreds of dollars for. I figured 1 of these devs would have already had this figured out and if they can't then we are pretty screwed

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtoo941:
Hello everybody. Firstly i would like to appologize if i made this thread in wrong forum place. So i tried absolutely all ROMs for maguro and i personally think that aosp-based kitkat roms are better than cm11-based kitkat roms. But somehow i really love stock-look of kitkat ROM. I really want to use KitKat (4.4.2, not 4.4.3!) on my phone but without some features i cannot use any of current ROMs as daily ones. So i would like to ask some dev who got some free time to add some features to THIS ROM (the original thread is THIS ONE - v2 of this ROM (4.4.2 AOSP) ). Here is what features i would like to see and use in this 4.4.2 AOSP rom:

1. Long press back button to kill app (500 ms duration time of holding back button);

2. Vibration feedback on pressing/holding QuickTiles

3. 2G/3G QuickTile

4. One click Data/WiFi/Bluetooth Tile to turn ON/OFF and holding to open settings of this tile

5. Navigation ring shortcuts (afaik there are 3 shortcuts)

6. Double-tap to sleep

Only six things. No 3rd party launchers or any other add-ons. So i hope somebody will check this thread and give me an answer. Thank you in advance and have a nice day :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
I really doubt anyone will make a special ROM for you. Sorry.

So you have 2 possibilities:

1. Learn how to build ROM, and add what you want to it.

2. Install Shiny ROM, xposed framework and Gravitybox and have AOSP based ROM with customization (a lot of it, but all you need are included)

FOLLOWING THIS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774730 I softbricked when removing the iq lib files. I was told how to put them back on in recovery, but I believe that is with cwm. Is there a method of pushing the libs back to the system with stock recovery, or do i need to learn how to use adb? Also is there a way to temporarily flash cwm without tripping knox? I am running the latest software version and am pretty sure to be the first to brick after rooting.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
The bootloader is locked which prevents us from installing a custom recovery like cwm. If you followed your modifying procedures properly you can restore a backup. You did a backup before modifying files no?

The E icon is with the internet upload/download icons.

The signal bars are for mobile phone signal, not mobile internet.

Anyway, just flash back the the version you had before. Or root and change the icons in systemUI.apk to the ones you want

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Different customization. When you flash a ROM there is always at the end of the Firmware a number which refers to the customization and that is why now you have different icons. I will suggest the to do like [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] said, root your phone and change them in SystemUI.apk, otherwise you will have to reflash the entire rom again. BTW, I got that icons on 4.3.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Before attempt anything always do a backup so you will avoid to start from zero again. BTW, it's not impossible, it can be done by replace them.

Let me start out by stating this is just what I froze. Obviously I wasn't using the stock launcher so don't freeze/uninstall that if you are. I saw no major problems with all that stuff frozen.

Hello!

For those who can not remove the Search Bar from the Home Screen, I found a way to do it.

This is for CyanogenMod 11, KitKat 4.4.3 Build 14/06/2014:

On the Home Screen, you press and hold the screen, untill the "wallpapers/widgets/themes" options come out.

When that happens, press the three dots that look like an arrow, it will open another menu with lots of options to change.

There, the first option you can change is the Search Bar, turn it off. Press the three dots again to minimize the menu, hit back and that's it.

Hope this helped.

Yes, I found it by mistake, and didn't know how to get to that place again... But once I did, I wanted to share this with everyone.

Now we don't need to change the Trebuchet launcher to get rid of that. Even though it's bugged... When getting the "trebuchet has stopped" error (when adding a widget on the home screen), I just reboot the phone, and it's working again. Although even this sucks...
