hello

is it possible to flash roms that where made for HTC or LG on Samsung s4 i9500?

i would really like to experience the different user interface...

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anasmunir:
No, you'll probably brick your device by doing so..

Better to stay away from this fantasy!

[Asus Padfone X and S] dotnetguyaz:
I can confirm. Mine is rooted using TR. Works perfectly.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
I just saw on Google+ that you got TWRP working. Just picked up this device myself. I'm pretty stoked, even if it's locked down...
[Asus Padfone X and S] AdamOutler:
It's not as locked down as you might think. It just doesn't allow fastboot flashing.. That's fine, Exploit+terminal access works. Get the instructions for TWRP here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2790542

[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
Aye. Towelroot, third person confirming working, use V1, not V2. V2 causes reboots and doesn't root. Additionally, Adam, solved the encryption issue. Kaspersky was at fault.
[Asus Padfone X and S] FUZER384:
I don't see how you guys downloaded TR v1. The site only allows me to download v3, which doesn't work.

I'm willing to pay to get development going on this bad boy.. stripped down barebones rom giggity gahhhh
[Asus Padfone X and S] dotnetguyaz:
Absolutely. I'm DYING for a 4.4 AOSP build on it. Not that I don't like what little ASUS did with it, pure AOSP would be heaven on this device.
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
I believe that we must wait for asus to release the source code for that, and knowing att that might be never , here's to hoping !

All i want is aosp and f2fs compatibility to go with the 64gb sandisk extreme plus micro sd i just bought :)
[Asus Padfone X and S] dotnetguyaz:
Yeah. However, I have been tinkering a bit. The build we have is actually damn close to AOSP now. There's a couple of proprietary drivers that I've found. The biggest thing would be reverse engineering Dynamic Display.

Towelroot + Appwererabbit == no more bloat. There were some things I was hesitant to remove (most of the Asus stuff until I can look at those closer), but all the AT&T crap is gone. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
[Asus Padfone X and S] AdamOutler:
I submitted a request to Asus support, for "source code and a stock firmware" on 27jun14 at 18:16(CST).

Today, 1July14 at 01:24(CST), a USA representative, named Emma Zhang asus_cc@asus.com stated:
[Asus Padfone X and S] Demazda:
You should mail them at gpl@asus.com

I got the source code from PadFone Infinity this way.

That's what my PF Infinity says.
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
I just sent them an email with all the information i could find off of my phone , the second i get a response ill upload the code and have you masterminds go at it .... I CANT WAITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!
[Asus Padfone X and S] IRusselldABear:
As of today i have both successfully rooted and unrooted an AT&T Padfone X. Emulators ps1 super nintendo and a ps3 controller = <3
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
Mm
[Asus Padfone X and S] AdamOutler:
[MENTION=5095669]Demazda[/MENTION] I emailed them at the address you suggested...

apparently they've had a technical problem since before the device was launched ;)
[Asus Padfone X and S] Demazda:
Wow, they replied fast. Last time I emailed them it took one week to get an answer.

Too bad they can't provide the source for now.

Also, may I PM you about development-related questions? I need some advice.
[Asus Padfone X and S] DTR204:
How hard is it to unroot using towel? I need to be able to reverse it on the fly if need be. Also what are you using for the ps3 controller?
[Asus Padfone X and S] dotnetguyaz:
Factory reset? ;)

Actually, I was going to mess around with unrooting when I get home tonight. I've never had a need to do it with TR, so I'm not sure what the process is yet.
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
Ughhh asus hurry up!!!
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
any update on this phone you guys ?
[Asus Padfone X and S] foxxx5oh:
Just got my (2nd) PadFone X and ran towelroot with success, are any of you guys running xposed on your devices yet? I was curious to see if it would work without borking anything important...

**Edit** Just did it to see what would happen...and it seems to have worked, let's see how well!
[Asus Padfone X and S] DTR204:
Factory reset left the device rooted, i need to unroot this phone asap ( work line, apparently the service provider i work for has the ability to detect root on company owned devices. i would like to unroot before i get in any more trouble :)

is the stock firmware available for flash anywhere?
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
No, and how the he'll are they seeing that? Do you work for att ? Just delete all the att apps
[Asus Padfone X and S] Demazda:
If you open your Superuser app, there should be an option to unroot your device.

If there's none, just download a root explorer (like ES Explorer 3), navigate to system/bin and delete su and busybox. If they are not here, they will be in /system/xbin

After that, uninstall your superuser app and you're done.
[Asus Padfone X and S] DTR204:
Yeah, att. No clue how they detected it. I think trying to access isis triggered it. Anyway superSu took care of it. I had to run the Un root option twice but the second time took. I only rooted to use titanium since we switch phones so often. Guess I won't make that mistake again. Thanks for the help guys ;)
[Asus Padfone X and S] panamakevin:
I know when any of my users root their phones. We have special software on all company phones to detect what apps and whether or not rooted...

I used to work for Att and if it's a company phone(I thought Att only allowed idevices) they have the ability to do a lot more than detect root... They can turn on gps, audio, and even the cameras to play big brother with their employees... So be careful...

Then again I worked as a tech not in stores... Might be different on that side but probably not too different...

[Asus Padfone X and S] SchmilK:

Here is your fix :)

Uninstalling supersu or superuser will also remove root.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

You can also stay unrooted and only use towelroot when you need root access, ie titanium backup/restore...(after reboot, there is no root access)
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
So what's to happen now after source has dropped
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
Does anyone have the stock ROM zip ?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Demazda:
The only file available for download on Asus Support site is the kernel source. No rom zip.
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
What can we do with the source ?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Demazda:
Compile custom kernels for stock roms, and use it to compile custom recoveries/custom roms like CM, provided you have the right device configs and know what you are doing.

Basically, development for a device depends a lot on sources the manufacturers provide.
[Asus Padfone X and S] alleyezondisromo:
So I think I will attempt this for us guys

Just got a warranty replacement for mine. I'll be uploading a rooted (and hopefully unrooted) nandroid backup soon of the stock system. A side note, hunting down tr1.apk is tricky now.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
I have a copy I can send you. Pm me your email.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
I managed to find one myself, but thanks for the offer. I'll be making 2 nandroids, since there's not much file size difference. Not making a third one for 100MB savings when the file's still 1GB... In other words, don't expect a "debloated" one from me :p It's hard enough remembering which one has the current set of backups since I have to do a serious shuffle to restore the broken one.

1) make sure data backup works on new one

2) put backups of the stock rooted one on the old phone

3) flash SuperSU

4) reboot into OS, restore stock recovery

5) unroot via SuperSU

6) Reboot into recovery, factory reset again...

EDIT: Just note that neither TR2 nor TR3 work for our device.

Padfone S

Hey guys, I know this isn't the PadFone S section. But As XDA don't currents have an "S" specific section and the handsets are pretty much he same i thought i would put this here. So i wanted Root on my "S" and after reading the thread i thought "Im pretty sure it will work" So i jumped on in at the deep end with my 2Hours old PadFone "S" hoping for the best. And.............TowelRoot V1 i can confirm works with the Padfone S also. I Haven't seen any one else post about the PadFone S Root and im sure people will inevitably want to do it when more and more people get their and on it but will likely be apprehensive due to there not being much out for the S yet. Hope it helps some one. :o
[Asus Padfone X and S] blambo:
PADFONE S (X) same, or not?

ASUS PADFONE S (X?)

They keep saying online that that X and S are the exact same? Well, I have the S with dock/tablet and I beg to differ. Please excuse this, not trying to hijack this thread. There are just so few of us. atm. ;)

So far:

ROOT: TOWELROOT TR1 works perfectly on PadFone X and S Best to have SUPERSU, BUSYBOX, & ROOT CHECKER installed before rooting for ease of use after root.

TWRP Installs easily. Use this adb shell script for ASUS PadFone S only!:

adb shell "curl 'http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img'>/sdcard/recovery.img; su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' bs=4096; sync; reboot recovery;"

Run> Allow SU> Reboots as normal> ASUS boot screen> black screen (TWRP is running but has the 'blackscreen bug')>wait 60 seconds>hit start button>TWRP appears> at TWRP settings reset timeout to 30 seconds or less (if you like.) We are waiting for the TWRP 2.8 update for these units, yes, it is in the works. The X version of TWRP (this thread) did not work for me on S.

XPOSED installs normally on S. Many features in Gravity Box etc. do not function perfectly because of the ASUS overlay. Lots of modules do work though. Please test for yourself. No issues so far with OS or root as of yet.

CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER v6 XDA LINK CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER works great on S.

X users please check to see if xposed and mirror enabler work for you too. :good:

BTW: ES File Manager writes to an exFAT 64GB microSD card after root and enabling the root tool. It's super fast and it's awesome! (Nexus 5 , iPhone 6, etc? Eat my dust.)

The more I use this phone, the more I like it!
[Asus Padfone X and S] Gh05tly:
I just ran v1 on my Padfone X running the latest firmware and had no issue. Now if we could just get some love in the ROM dept life would be sweet.

[Asus Padfone X and S] Gh05tly:
The mini is different.

It is quite different from the Padfone X. Intel Atom based and a locked bootloader.
[Asus Padfone X and S] duecefromcleveland:
So the asus bootloader unlocked don't work but I paid so it could be unlocked
[Asus Padfone X and S] balika01:
PadFone X's bootloader also locked. :p

The padfone x mini is a decent phone but I badly need root so I can edit the cpu
[Asus Padfone X and S] highbud:
on step 5. unroot via SuperSU, does it also work for padfone S?

i'm curious because sometimes when updating official firmware is not working when you device on rooted condition so needs to unroot.

thanks in advance.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
In theory, it should work with any device

[Asus Padfone X and S] leo025:
TowelRoot_v1 and Kingo Root doesn't work for me. Build number is ATT_11.10.8.16. Another method pls?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
Thats what I had before converting to padfone s fw.

Might need to try again

Towel root should definitely work because it worked with mine, idk what could be the problem.

Maybe power off the phone then power it back on and the first thing you do is run that app and let it do its job.

Then get supersu and root checker and make sure it does root.

You might want to try Kingroot, it should also work, (similar to kingoroot), its the real deal.

One thing to note that you cannot get or use supersu since it actually manages the root permissions itself, which is just perfect for you to flash a recovery via flashify. (CWM is preferred)

Once at the recovery find and flash the Crowlock file and the bootloader should be unlocked.
[Asus Padfone X and S] leo025:
Finally I resolve the problem, uninstalling kingroot and clean installation towelroot v1 works well! :cool:
[Asus Padfone X and S] xdaernie:
(bootloader) device tampered: False (bootloader) device unlocked: True

Phone is unlocked with Kingroot apk, currently running CWM recovery image. I flashed crowlock zip via CWM and TWRP. Don't know if it worked. This is what the fastboot oem device-info says

(bootloader) device tampered: False

(bootloader) device unlocked: True

What's it mean?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
It looks like it worked just fine.

Device tampered would have been a different situation since it would have been locked down a little bit more, but your absolutely fine.

Congrats.

Good question, i'm searching for the same ?
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
Hi there!

I'm a newbie what comes to Android phones (been using Windows Mobiles and Phones since 2005) and I just recently purchased my first Android phone, Motorola Droid 4 since I just cannot cope without physical QWERTY.

I tried to flash KitKat to my phone but accidentaly flashed it over stock ROM memory slot. Now the phone is stuck to Safestrap and I don't know what to do anymore. I don't have a backup of my phone's original ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2.) so could someone please tell me (simplified) how to fix the situation???

I presume I'd have to flash stock ROM back to its memory slot using Safestrap once again? But any help is highly appreciated!!!

Thanks a million in advance and sorry if this question has already been asked on this forum. I didn't find a similar question so that's why I posted mine here.
[Motorola Droid 4] :
what KitKat rom? file name

what Gapps? file name

installing over stock is fine if you used correct files and steps.

what safestrap version?

there is a nandroid backup copy of my stock here Stock Rom Nandroid

just download to a pc, connect droid 4 to pc, in safe strap, mount sd card, copy back up to sd card, unmount, restore.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
Thanks! Already figured it out by recovering my phone by stock ROM which I found while doing Google search.

The KitKat custom ROM I tried to install is Vanir_maserati_4.4.3.061614.zip . Doesn't seem to work :(

I put the aforementioned zip file and Gapps_4.4.3. zip file to the root of my SD card and tried to flash it to the memory slot 1 with Safestrap (the newest version 3.73). After that I flashed Gapps file and booted my phone. Safestrap display was shown on the screen and I chose the bottom right hand side option to boot my phone with the ROM I just flashed to memory slot 1. It tried to boot but came back to safestrap screen couple of times so I wiped memory slot 1 and booted the phone back to stock ROM. Don't know what went wrong???
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
slot 1 is different than stock slot.

I tried Vanir_maserati_4.4.3.061614.zip in stock slot and didn't boot for me
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
OK, so the problem wasn't in my Droid 4 then.

Since I'm a newbie could someone suggest a good KitKat ROM 4.4.3. for Droid 4?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Slim or cm11, links to both in dev section
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
OK, thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid 4] jaqjacek:
I've make similar mistake

In my case I flash backup slimkat 4.4.2 from slot 1 to stock slot now I see motorola log and then blank screen no recovery, when i press volume button its only make sound and vibrate.

When i go to stock recover in on the green android with red triangle phase but when I pres both vol buttons and nothing happens

is there a second way to wipe data or something ?

Now im downloading sbf files, that part will work but i forget to backup my data ( actually i backup them but the backup stays on internal memory )

Is there a chance to boot from some recovery image thru USB cable and fastboot i have such a option on my LG EVE ?
[Motorola Droid 4] Sensonic:
Yes, I found someone's stock ROM backup which I put into recover folder of my phone and then chose "recovery" in Safestrap. That did that job :)

[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Flashing XML firmware does not wipe internal or external SD cards

Wiping data in stock recovery does not wipe internal or external SD cards only wipes user data partition (user apps, settings...)

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

If you can get to safetrap, SD card can be mounted, and a ROM or a backup can be restored.

Link to my backup in my list sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links for Droid 4
[Motorola Droid 4] jaqjacek:
Only thing I can't do was to flash sbf with original firmware,

Data on internal partition is gone.

But I have a advice for some.

Before you use RSDlite decompress that sbf edit XML file and delete lines that overwrite partition that you want to save. Select xml from uncompressed dir and go.

That sort of things is much easier with d4 then it was with milestone 1 or milestone 2.

Hello,

I ripped some nice Watch_Dogs sounds to customize my phone and share them here.

The ZIP contains :

LG UI sounds (PowerOn, PowerOff, Lock, Unlock, CableConnect, LowBattery, FullBattery, CameraClick, VideoRecord and EmailSent)

6 Notifications sounds and 3 Ringtones for you to choose from

Installation Instructions :

- Flash the ZIP under recovery (Warning : this will overwrite system files, so nandroid first !)

- Tadaaa ! You've got Aiden Pearce's phone ;)

Uninstall Instructions :

- Flash the Restore Stock ZIP under recovery (This will restore original LG Sounds in the ui directory and will keep bonus Watch_Dogs notifications and ringtones)

Thanks to XxZombiePikachu for packaging the whole thing. He also packaged a Watch Dogs Bootanimation, avalaible in Post #23.
