[LG Optimus G (International)] Baduum:
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section, but I am desperate. After rooting my Optimus GJ, at that time I passed over unlocking the bootlock and now my device just shows me the secure boot error. I can't find anywhere the kdz file for my device, and I just don't know what to do. Please! Any help is greatly welcomed.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Baduum:
My head and my pc is a mess right now in the pursuit of fixing my phone. How could I be so stupid to mess up!? I've tried many programs (LGNPST, kdz reinstall) but nothing seems to work, mainly because I can't find the right files.
[Sony Xperia M] N0he:
The last time I was here, we could not root 4.3 without either unlocking bootloader or root 4.2 first. Don't know if things have changed since then? Now there is a new rooting app exploiting a newly discovered vulnerability and I wonder if it would work with the Xperia M on 4.3.. anyone tried it out yet?
[Sony Xperia M] kirev:
Works. Check this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53425376

I tried to root 4.3 using towel root but when I try to root using the app and I click the button in it the app just hangs and after 4-5 seconds it fc's! I don't think it supports our device yet but no problem we have many other root methods. :o :):angel::good:
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
It works!

But only half root.

You won't be able to use apps like foldermount.

How to unroot from towelroot then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lkebrnrd:
This is my first time posting so I figured sharing my successful attempt to root using towelroot would be a good starting point..

I realize someone may have already beat me to it but I wanted to let ppl know you should be able to root using the awesome new app towelroot. Things to consider though.. I was on 4.3 ML1.. This was very exciting for me as my PC will not recognize my siii so the fact I was able to do this straight from the device itself is just great news.. Didn't think I could root without a PC.. Well, until now.. This is SO AWESOME! now to install some xposed mods :). Happy rooting :) v
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pacet911:
Vrucnc1 root!

I can confirm TOWELROOT works for VRUCNC1 also! Finally rerooted again. No computer needed either! Go to towelroot.com. :D :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dhart1980:
confirmed... sch-i535 32gb, 4.3 vrucnc1.... verizon s3.. super easy to install although it does give you a warning to not install it... you gotta allow third party, but then ANOTHER thing pops saying they don't advise it... something i haven't seen before.. anyways i forced it to install.. ran it... 15 seconds after you hit the button it reboots... bam... rooted..

easiest root i've ever done.... used to having to odin... also, i used a third party root check to verify that it wasn't just teasing me... if i weren't unemployed and broke i'd definitely donate...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
I'm not at all a noob but totally noob question right now. Can we unlock the bootloader again now after doing towelroot on 4.3, or are we still stuck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Bootloader still locked. This is root only. Bootloader will not get unlocked without a leak from Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Ah darn. So then towelroot is useless for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Not useless. Can root, remove bloat, use ad blocker, tether, some people are using xposed, etc. Just may not be able to run any custom ROMs yet. Safestrap may work to run custom ROMs, but I have not seen an NC1 kernel module. So you would not have WiFi running safestrap on NC1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Last I heard, NC1 could be rolled back to ML1 and ML1 is saferooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes but now you don't have to roll back to ML1 if on NC. Also you no longer need a computer to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Fair enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lil2skinny:
so i'm on the NC1 and i've rooted it sucessfully using another method and i was wondering if i use safestrap to use xposed will i have wifi issues? o.O

or does installing another rom using safestrap kill the wifi?

final question: is safestrap the culprit for the wifi not working? o.O

I wonder if Nandroid Manager or Flashify will be able to dd if custom recovery without connecting to pc as well?? I think I may try this method, if anyone else had tried this method, please share, thanks. Also if I have posted this in the wrong section I will remove it. Thanks again everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Getting a custom recovery is easier with ROM Installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Please do not try this on VRUCML1, VRUCNC1 or VRUDNE1. You will hard brick your S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I Read somewhere that this works for ML1 and NC1 Snoop. Not sure about NE1 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
They will hardbrick if they attempt to install CWM or TWRP on TW 4.3 or KitKat firmware. Hasn't worked before when people tried using Odin or GooManager to install custom recoveries on VRUCML1 and I'm confident it will be the same result here. I need video proof proving the opposite.

If you are referring to Towelroot, yes this will work on all three.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
Does this still work. I've got the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, Running 4.3, Baseband VRUCNC1.

Secondly, if this still works where the heck do I click to start the process. I don't want to click the wrong thing.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Yes still work, just click the button with many words and it should say completed successful and don't worry if you click any wrong button. No harm done...if you're blind just click any button and it should work that's how safe it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SHAK3R:
I hear what your saying but there are 2 different .apk's "tr.apk" & "tr1.apk" your saying it doesn't matter? Sorry for being a nervous nelly.

That was the easiest root I've done. This is awesome. Thanks Towelroot. I'll be sure to buy him a beer.

Geohot made that root app. Geohot is a freaking genius man. He deserves a case of beers. Google George Hotz if you don't know his history.

Customizing a stock ROM?

Although I have never rooted a device yet, I've tried to stay up to date on the working exploits available to root my Samsung Galaxy S III (model SCH-I535), with the build number of KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1. Towelroot is my intended approach. While I believe I understand enough of the details to successfully accomplish this, I was wondering if, despite the locked bootloader being in place after the procedure, is it possible to customize my stock ROM, make a backup of it using ROM Tooolbox Pro, and then reinstall my modified stock ROM (when needed or desired) without bricking my device?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
I saw this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548974

Where someone posted a mod for the G2 where they enabled 4k video and 120fps recording. I am interested if we could do this on the nexus 5?

Is it a hardware limitation? I'm pretty sure the s800 can handle it and the camera can snap a picture in 8mp resolutions, so I would think you could mod it to record video in 2k, or 4k resolutions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
AFAIK, one of the developers already said that it's a hardware limitation on the Nexus 5. So, no 120fps or 2k/4k for us!

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] danycagiva:
Hey Guys,

i would like to share a new app with you. It´s called Towelroot. It roots your Device instantly.

Just go to http://towelroot.com and click on the lambda. Install it and click make it rain.

It Works!! No need for Recovery or anything else. Locked Bootloader AND Unlocked Bootloader.

My Tab Z runs the latest 4.4.2 so it works with the latest firmware.

Geohot (creator of towel root) says that it roots nearly every device. So keep on sharing.

Below i have two Screenshots for evidence.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] naheel azawy:
wow!

I just can't believe!

It worked on jb4.3
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] matrix854:
Yes and also worked with my Tablet Z SGP351 4.4.2 stock Rom now Rooted
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Simonb42:
Worked for me too! I'd been planning on getting root with multiples flashes and manipulations for months but I kept postponing it... and now that 1-click hack took just a few minutes!

I've gone crazy with Xposed Modules and root apps that I'd wanted to use for ages. Next up will be finding out how to install a custom recovery; I'm used to flashing unlocked devices...
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] donedos:

If I root using this, will it void warranty?

I bought the LTE version tablet 2 weeks ago and don't want to lose warranty so soon..so, if I root using this Towelroot method, do I lose warranty as well? And I will still get/use official OTA from Sony?

If I need to, for some reason, can I un-root the tablet again and go to complete stock?

Pardon my limited knowledge, a n00b here.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] danycagiva:
I know that you loose Warranty when you unlock your bootloader. But only rooting it, is kinda difficult. I dont know exactly how the towelroot root affects the sony firmware. Maybe it wont void your warranty but maybe it will. I cant say it 100% but if you want to stay safe with your Tablet dont Root it. If you need and use what sony´s offering, keep using it without root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] freebee269:
was looking around mixer_paths.xml and i see it has changed from what i'm used to with the lg g2. i dont see a section that specifically has "headphones". i'm trying to increase the headphone volume. does anyone know which area of the mixer_paths needs to be changed to increase volume? i tried increasing "speaker and headphones" rx7 (because that's what was used to increase volume on the g2) but after a reboot i dont notice any increase. any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] freebee269:
i figured it out. use a text editor that has root and navigate to system/etc. open up mixer_paths.xml. scroll down to the section "play scenario". in that section you'll see "path name="headset". in headset section you'll see rx1 and rx2 digital volume. change the values to what you want up to 100. i have mine at 88. at 88 i can keep the volume around 60% and it is loud with no distortion. so now i dont have to max out the DAC in the phone to get high volume.

if you want to do the speaker do the same steps above for the section "path name="speaker"" and change the rx7 digital volume value.

hope this helps others.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Musikaman:
Incoming noob questions!

This isn't a bootloader crack, right? So that means we still need something like safestrap to load a custom rom?

I grabbed this root immediately and then used the KFHDX toolkit to disable OTA updates. Is there anything else I should do to ensure OTA can't happen outside of turning my wireless off?

Sorry, a bit excited. I missed the first root train and have been waiting patiently for the next. :)

Guys, can anyone recommend the best software to transfer photos to and from the Nexus 5 and iPhoto on a Mac?

I have DoubleTwist, but that software can only transfer photos TO iPhoto not from it. I want to be able to transfer albums from my iPhoto to my N5.

So far it seems a nigh on impossible task.

Also, music to and from iTunes is also nigh on impossible.

Android File Transfer is a pain as you have to figure out what photo's you have already transferred over.

I was hoping for more of an iPhoto style app that automatically picks up new photo's to transfer over.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I would probably just transfer them manually using whatever Apple's default file explorer is. Or you could turn on Cloud syncing, then just pull the new photos down manually from the cloud on your Mac if you wanted. Easiest would be manual transfer IMO. Drag and drop them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Use Google+ as a cloud storage for your photos. They will automatically show up in your stock gallery and wont take up space on your device.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
You need to install a custom recovery first before you can install zip. For now, you need to unlock bootloader if you want to install custom recovery. But there's a new root exploit for locked bootloaders, so if you wait for a few more days, I'm sure [NUT] will work his magic and provide us with a custom recovery that works on locked bootloaders.

[Windows 8 General] :
Hi there,

my English is not the best, but I want to try to ask my question.

It's about the ASUS Transformer AIO. He runs

in Desktop-Mode with Windows,

in Remote Desktop-Mode with Windows and

in Tablet-Mode with Android.

Is it somehow possible on the tablet (32 GB eMMC flash memory) to delete Android and install Windows?

Please use easy English to reply me. Thanks for your help!
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
In simple english: no

In complex english: the keyboard portion uses an intel processor capable of running windows. The tablet portion uses an ARM processor which cannot run windows except windows RT, but RT cannot be installed to random devices and needs drivers specific to each device, only ASUS and microsoft can work together to do this. So for now, the tablet portion can only run android.
[Windows 8 General] :
Too bad that it does not works.

However, thank you for your answer!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SnakeFist2005:
Can the nexus 7 2013 4.4.3 kitkat use boot animation sounds? If so where to place them and what to add in the desc.txt file. If not does cyanogenmod allow boot animation sounds?

I have used search but it found nothing. Maybe i didn't use the right key words. I searched for bootanimation sounds nexus 7 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
I don't think it does, at least not the stock ROM nor any other ROMs I know of (there may be some hardware limitation to as why), but, if they did, they might be stored where a custom bootanimation.zip would be, in /data/local and they might be in the same zip as the bootanimation, some devices use a sound file in /system/sounds, yes, I know, academic.

Yes, you will find posts that say to install/replace bootanimation.zip into /system/media, and while it works, it is not as elegant as using /data/local.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SnakeFist2005:
Man that sucks why would it be a hardware limitation for that would be weird. So phones like htc adds something in there hardware to allow bootanimation sounds? To me it sounds more like a software problem then a hardware problem. LIke the nexus 7 2013 dont include the stage fright file or something.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
That is just conjecture on my part, I really do not know. Just that I tried many ROMs and not a one had a boot sound. Doing a search as you did, also revealed nothing about nexus 7 2013 sound support. It might not be hardware persae, but rather a limitation on the bootup processes ability to access hardware during boot, again, more conjecture. If you find out otherwise, I'd be grateful if you let me in on it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SnakeFist2005:
I'm going to crack this if it takes me awhile to do and i will let you know. Cause i made a nice mortal kombat bootanimation and without the scorpion wins flawless victory fatality sound its boring lol.

Thanks, good luck.

You could always say it out loud yourself while booting, people might think you're crazy, but hey, boot up sound!

[Defy General] ciripicchio123:
Hi to all

i'm using a defy+ only as GPS navigation. I'm also not using any simcard, just GPS and WiFI.

Do you know any stripped down rom with nothing installed except wifi and gps? I'm looking for a rom with maximum battery savings and quicker boot time.

Everything else is unneded.
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
You could try Maniac103's build of CM7.2. (It's available from his GitHub, and a slightly newer version is posted here.)

CM7.2 is one of the fastest and most stable roms for the Defy, and Maniac103's version has an LTO data download feature that helps a lot with GPS. If you enable that feature (it's either in settings or in the Defy Parts app, I don't remember exactly where), the phone will download the satellite Long Term Orbit data whenever you're connected to wifi. This LTO data is valid for either 7 days or 30 days (depending on which option you choose), and it helps the GPS to get a fix very quickly, even when you're offline. That's one of the few features I really miss from CM7.
[Defy General] ciripicchio123:
Thank you for the response. My defy+ is actually on charging, when full charge i'l ltry to flash that rom.

So, with LTO data for 30 days, I can use WiFI (or any network connection) once in 30 days and getting fast fix for GPS?
[Defy General] ciripicchio123:
Ok, i've installed CM7. How can I check for LTO settings ?
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
I'm not using CM7 anymore (I've updated my Defy to Android 4.4 SlimKat), and I don't remember exactly where the LTO setting was. I think it was under Settings > Device settings, or something like that.

Yes, you should get a faster GPS fix if you connect to wifi every 30 days. I believe it only downloads when connected with wifi, not a cellular data connection.
[Defy General] ciripicchio123:
Found it.

Let me check. Before flashing a custom ROM, GPS fix in my actual location wasen't done in 10 minutes.

Now i've downloaded a monthly LTO data, let me see if fix is quicker.

EDIT: any way to greatly speed up the boot time? Almost 30 seconds stuck in motorola logo....
[Defy General] ciripicchio123:
Still no improvements, even with A-GPS and LTO data downloaded.

No fix in 5 minutes and just 2 sat found (as shown by GPS Status app). Same location with Galaxy S4 will result in a perfect fix in a couple of seconds.
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
The first GPS fix always takes a while, unless you have an active data connection for A-GPS, which uses cellular towers and/or wifi to help determine your location. (Also, the Galaxy S4 has much faster hardware, but I'd guess that if you reboot your Galaxy S4 in airplane mode, and then try to get a GPS fix, it will take more than a few seconds.)

Make sure that the phone is outdoors under open sky, and that it is stationary while the GPS looks for the first fix. After that, subsequent fixes should be much faster, at least until the next reboot.
