[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
If you are referring to the little number on the icon on the home screen... then there's nothing to fix. It's working as designed.

That isn't actually a stock android feature. HTC (and Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc) customizes their home screen launcher to display unread count "badges" for the apps that are built in (email, messages, etc), but couldn't possibly do so for other 3rd party apps. In the case of email, the badge clears when you go into the app regardless of the number of unread messages. (It's more of a "you have this many unread since you last opened the app.)

If you want more functionality, you could use a different launcher (such as Nova Launcher) and a plugin (telsaunread) that supports more badges. I have no idea if "Whatsapp" is supported by nova/telsaunread, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out.

Edit: I just checked and nova launcher with teslaunread does explicitly support whatsapp.

Hi,

I also have a problem with my Icons on the top left-hand corner of the screen on my HTC One M8...

I have just launched the new Update "Sense 6.0" and now I can't see the Icons of WhatsApp, SMS, E-mails. etc. on the top left-hand corner of the screen, when the screen of my phone is locked (when I get a new message).

Do you know how I can turn it back on ? :o

Geohot released towelroot today for the verizon and AT&T variant s5, this root also works with the ATT s4 active on NE3 which is the latest OTA.

Only issue is that you cannot update SUbinary however you can grant superuser permissions to programs like root explorer, busybox etc.

Get a hold of it @ towelroot.com
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jball:
I just rooted my ladies phone yesterday and have Safestrap installed .

The thing that bugs is the inability to update superuser.

: edit

I just used Safestrap recovery to flash supersu in the stock slot and am up to date.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Xanthos58:
What version 3.71?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tlyons1022:
If anyone can find a way to update SU and then explain it to me like I'm 5, that would be wonderful. I just tried to fix it buy giving SU some extra permissions, and accidentally threw my phone into a boot-loop when I accidentally removed all "execute" permissions from the /system folder. Oops, should have paid attention to what the hell I was doing. Oh well, easily enough fixed by flashing all the ML2 ODIN files (except bootloader) and then updating with the OTA ML2 ---> NE3 file dropped onto an SD Card.

Still, I'm just going to let it bother me so I don't have to go through all that again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikelets456:
I read somewhere on this site that someone pulled the APK file from the superuser.zip file and it installed. I do not have SU installed since wiping my phone and installing 4.3 and 4.4.2 ota stock. So I would like to know if I can simply install root.apk and the SU.apk??? I also heard a rumor on this site that 4.4.3 is due out in a month or so.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tlyons1022:
I knot the root.apk from towelroot.com worked great on my phone, just every time I open SU or SuperSU it complains about outdated binaries, but the binary update fails when I try it. Hmm...

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

An update for SuperSU just came through the play store that fixed it.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] zombieguy85:
I don't wanna do it yet but If some one wanted to go back to no root would I do a Full Unroot thru SuperSU and then factory reset in the recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Magotchi:
deleted
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] zombieguy85:
How can I just go back to stock do I just do a full Unroot and device wipe?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] xAjCx:
You can do it that way but if you changed any of the system files or deleted anything in there, you would not be able to have complete stock back. THE best way to get stock everything back is to odin flash NE3 which you can find the files over in the stock firmware collection thread. Oh and also make sure you have Safestrap disabled if you had that enabled.
[ONE General] shure2:
Unfortunately they've said invites and pre-orders will run into Q3, that being September at the latest (still that's not promised).

Not sure what you guys think but for me I'm thinking Moto x+1 or Nexus 6 territory

My wife broke her screen today, but luckily we have another one not in use that is the same model. I ran titanium back up on her broken phone, factory reset the new one, moved the sim and sd to the new one, and tried to restore.

The problem I ran into is that there is not enough storage on the new one to cover everything from the old phone. Using titanium backup can I just restore the internal data, app data, and system data on to the new phone?

I also tried Nandroid backup, but got an error at android_security..

Hey people I just noticed that the upper headphone is playing in a bit lower volume than the one on the bottom side.Is this normal or maybe a bug of the last sense 6 OTA?

see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2478791

there is a few other threads also discussing the same issue you could find in some information
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NotDavid:
Last I checked, you were suppose to also add the other files into odin as well (BL, CSC, etc). If you did that, than your mobile data will not work. Turn off your wifi and check if your mobile data works. Apart from that, you may be on to something if you got from ND3 to the original stock firmware. I'll double check and see if it works.

Edit:

Didn't read entirely. Lmao basically repeated everything OP posted. Thanks for the FIX.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
BL failed. I didn't try CSC and and CP because I didn't want a mismatch with the bootloader and modem. My mobile data is fine now after entering a new APN. My Hotspot still works too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NotDavid:
Do you think you can update to ND3 via Samsung Kies? Samsung kies doesn't allow you to reinstall the firmware but it does allow for upgrades. Just asking because I might try it out soon. I didn't soft brick my phone but deleted a few stock apps I shouldn't have and I kinda gotta go to ATT later this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Everyone else says it failed, but my software is different, downgraded, now. I'm going to try and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NotDavid:
Yea dude please let me know. Also another suggestion (I did the same thing you did like 1 month ago, only used the AP instead off all the other ones like an idiot and lost mobile data and what not. Had to find another stock NCE and I found one that was simply an AP off sammobile and it fixed everything. you should try to odin that stock with your current software).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
How do you get just the AP file? Sorry for the Newby like question. but I followed the Sammobile site and it failed on me. I am downloading again and will be trying as soon as it is done. I have slow internet speeds so it will be a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kwikrat:
Use Winrar to extract all the files. The above mentioned solution is working flawlessly for me. :good: :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
can I take the files from Sammobile or will they not have the right one? If not I will be waiting to see if it works for me. 2 hours to download, slow internet and to many people on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
I'm not sure. I'm downloading them too to see what they are. I currently have two different ones from two different sites.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
Well It took to long and automatically stopped. That sucks, here I go again. Let me know what you find out as it will take me quite sometime and you will know the answers before I am done. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NotDavid:
Make sure you download the firmware from the post you were linked too. I can confirm that the SamMobile firmware will not work on ND3 software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Yea, the file from Sammobile.com is the same file, with a different name from Samsung-updates.com, and neither is going to work. Only the file in the Original Post so far. They are only going to work with the original firmware before the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Well, Kies did not work for me either. It may allow software updates, but I still have the current bootloader, as I was not able to downgrade it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
Hmmm, I noticed also that the files in the link there are two different ones. With two different names and one is 1.4gb and the other is 1.5gb. So is the one from the original OP the recommended one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Yea, only use the first file download. That second file was changed for whatever reason. The two files were the same at one point. I'll update the OP.

I loaded all files minus the BL files and it worked perfectly. The first time I used just the AP file and rebooted. Seen the Keyboard was different etc, stuff the OP stated. So I factory Reset and started over Loading all files but the BL file and let Odin do its work. Upon reboot Keyboard was back Modem setting was there etc. Working great. I was also able to update back to G900AUCU2AND3 firm ware immediately upon checking.

Sorry about that. They should work now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasp3r:

Odin Error

shortydoggg, thanks for posting this guide and directing me to it from the question that I posted. I am trying to go through with option 6 on your list but am having a problem with Odin. Do you have any idea what the error in the attached image is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheXRated1:
By doing this through ODIN, will this trip the KNOX counter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
No, it will not trip Knox at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
I'm not sure that odin will work with vmware fusion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheXRated1:
You're awesome. Thanks so much. Worked flawlessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
I've had luck with it before but perhaps it won't work this time. Is there any way to run Odin from osx?

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

After a bit more research, it looks like the problem was the md5 check. I removed md5 from the filename and was able to get the flashing process started this time.... but of course that led to another error. Anyone else know how to resolve the "Complete(Write) operation failed" error?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
Any advice folks? At this point I have a bricked phone since the Odin flash failed halfway through. I've attached a screen grab so you can see the error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
so you have reports of towelroot soft bricking peoples s5's? thats new to me!

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

does the phone boot up n still go into odin mode? if so you are not fully bricked..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
Yes, the phone boots immediately into Download mode (I can't get it to go to recovery to try and recover my files via ADB). The screen says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Although this is an opportunity to recover the phone, I still get the same error when trying to flash in Odin. I do not want to try Kies yet because that will wipe the phone and I'll lose all my files (I had some good baby photos on there!).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
odin will not flash anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
im pretty sure the odin tar is going to wipe the phone either way.. unless someone managed to create a no wipe tar (us vzw users would love one for our phone).. either way it would seem losin data is inevitable seeing as how its already tellin you there was a bad flash and wont work with adb..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Also, towel root did not brick the phone. Using a virtual machine, while trying to flash Odin is the problem. If using a Mac, then Odin 3.09 may not be fully compatible as I've read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
that would make sense!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
I am not saying that towel root bricked the phone. The problem after towel root was that I could no longer read my internal SD and had apps continuously FC'ing. When I tried following the guide in this post (option 6) the Odin flash failed and THAT bricked my phone (at least to the extent that it can't boot past a recovery screen). I've tried both Odin 3.09 and 3.07 at this point with no luck. I am sure it is not the virtual machine because I just flashed a Note II using Odin 3.09 from the virtual machine.

If anyone has any other thoughts on how to proceed, they would be much appreciated? I am going to keep fooling around but may have to just do a full wipe from Kies since I have a flight to catch this afternoon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
Not the best solution but can you put the files on a flash drive and go to a friend's windows Computer and try that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morockin:
All our computers (6+) in this house are either Mac or Linux and the same goes for most of our friends! Also, just tried Kies and it gave me an error too... this is not looking good...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
have you tried another ap file just for ****s and giggles?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7np57282x5on1h1/SM-G900A_4.4.2_Firmware.rar

is my link to my files

hope this helps?

I'm lost as to why it is not working for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasp3r:
The files above worked for me in the past. Also use a VMWARE session on your Linux / Mac machines to get windows going. Shouldn't need a full computer set up with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greycloak42:
Just a heads up: I tried debricking with just the AP file and Bluetooth would not activate. I ended up flashing cp, ap and csc and everything works fine now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
Yes you load all 3... Do not use the 4th The BL file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
I had no issues with bluetooth. But regardless, flashing the AP alone is more for people who do not want to lose everything right away, or who just need the phone to boot to recover their data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greycloak42:
Which is why I tried flashing the ap alone initially.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Heavy Metal:
I do not care if I loose root, data settings nor other stuff just want to factory original to undo everything I have done or added then if it ota's back too G900AUCU2AND3 fine/good....

If I had system img... as well as a recovery img would I be able to use that from a pre G900AUCU2AND3 ???

THANK YOU

Thank you so much for this. i traded my htc m8 for the s5 yesterday and it was rooted and had SS recovery. I wanted it stock so deleted the root and SS files and was stuck at splash screen. I tried flashing stock firmware via odin and kept failing. i got so nervous until i found your guide! worked like a charm thank you much!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] trobertd:
Thanks

I searched thread after thread until I found this then I was back to stock in minutes. Can't say thanks enough, I searched for a the better part of a day and came up with about 30 things nothing worked. This thread solved my troubles instantly.

I love you guys!!!!

This worked Great!!!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
This worked for me to revert to NCE after soft brick. I used the three files and that worked. However, the firmware update to ND3 is failing. I have already rooted, installed SuperSU (disabled Knox), and froze unnecessary apps. It will download, reboot into recovery, and start the update. It keeps failing around 30% or so. Any thoughts? Should I unfreeze apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
If you disable anything, delete anything, or have anything frozen, then the update will fail. The best thing would have been to OTA, and then root. You'd now be pretty much starting over, or putting everything back that was frozen or deleted, and likely you'll miss something. You'd likely need to re-flash the AP and CSC files again, which will factory reset the phone.

Is there any particular reason why you want the update, because the only thing that you will gain is Lookout and YP, which can be downloaded from the playstore, unless there is some performance difference that I don't know about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
I'm guessing there is a battery drain fix because my phone has been draining like no other on NCE. This never happened on ND3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
That's possible, or it could be something running in the background, or it could be just your battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Doubtful, to be honest. The phone is less than two weeks old, and I did not install anything different.

Also, I re-Odin-ed once again to NCE. I did not add anything. I didn't even hook up my Google account. All I did was hook up to my WiFi. I downloaded the update, and once again, at 32%, it retried once, and then came back up as Download Interrupted. I did see one forum suggesting (for the S4) that an external SD card might mess with it. Anyone heard of that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Did you try downloading it over your mobile data connection. The update is only 46 mb. Also, do you know how to sideload an update.zip through adb, because you can be given the file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Two different WiFis. It won't let me over mobile data. Do you happen to know where I can obtain the update.zip? I do know how to adb a bit. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38127313/update.zip

That link will not be up for long.

You need to sideload it from stock recovery. Also, here is a page on how to sideload adb.

Seems that's something to do with the modem. I'm downloading the other firmware link. I re-downloaded the first link after I had the first failure. Any ideas what might be causing this error to trip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
When you flashed the firmware, you may have needed to flash the CP (modem) file as well as the AP and CSC. I assumed that you already had the old modem. If you did not, then you may need to flash all three files, AP, CP, and CSC, then sideload the update.zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
I did flash all three. Weird. Can I just flash CP again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Sure, but other than that, I don't know why you are getting the error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Well, that unfortunately didn't work either. I saw in Odin it does the modem, but not HLOS. I'm guessing it's because I was originally on ND3 when I soft bricked, and the firmware for NCE doesn't update HLOS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
No, that's not it either. HLOS is in the BL file, which will fail upon flash. I've gone for ND3 to NCE and back several times with no issues. How did you softbrick, and is your Knox counter 0x0, or 0x1, because you may need that phone serviced?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
I tried to mod my SecSettings.apk and I apparently did something wrong. When I rebooted, it was stuck at the AT&T logo. Knox is at 0x0.

I have not flashed the BL file because I figured I was on ND3 bootloaders, and after the fiasco of eFuses I tend to shy away from BL down- or upgrades if possible. Plus, it clearly states in the OP that I don't need that.

Did a 'getprop "ro.bootloader"' in adb shell, and it printed "G900AUCU2AND3."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Yea, you cannot flash the BL file.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

A WARNING TO ANYONE WHO WIPES MAKE SURE REACTIVATION LOCK IS OFF BEFORE U DO SO OR THE ATT UPDATE WILL FAIL!!

I learned this the hard way lol that god SHORTYDOG Posted that update.zip

if you have reactivation lock on and u flash these three files like so then u reboot and try to do the over the air update it will always fail do to reacatvation lock.

so u need to flash the update.zip from adb sideload to be able to get back into the reactivation lock settings and turn it off then u can start over reflash all the files and update normally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
What is this reactivation lock? Is it possibly related to the EMMC failure I was getting during adb sideload update.zip?

On a related note, do you think it possible for me to flash this via SafeStrap? I tried commenting out the line in the updater-script that does the check for apnhlos, but it obviously fails on the file signature verification. I was thinking I could flash this via SafeStrap with the line commented out, but I wasn't sure if this was a bad idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sheon849:
try redownloading the file I had no issue sideloading it at all.

Reactvation lock prevents people from using your phone if they steal it. its something you have to turn on in security settings but the only way to turn it on or off is u need the OTA update from ATT or the update zip shortydogg provided.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Re-downloaded and it has the same md5. Not sure what else to try. From what I'm gathering the update believes I have an invalid bootloader. Considering it's locked and encrypted, that's kind of scary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sheon849:
does your phone not boot at all? or u only cant install that update?

U might have to take off encryption to install it.
