[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mdiaz33685:
you can not revert knox back to 0x0, no method so far for this....

so you can receive updates, just flash through ODIN, the firmware ... I believe all Samsung phones and tablets will tell you about being modified for updates, if you rooted the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
well, you can just reodin a stock unrooted firmware, and then otas will work again, but Knox is basically always tripped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
why even use odin when you have SAMSUNG KIES. put your phone in download mode first, load KIES on your computer, then go to tools>firmware upgrade and intialisation and then follow the step by step direction.

if this helped just press the thanks button!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gooseprince7:
Can you link me to an unrooted firmware? And when I flash my device with the unrooted firmware, do I uninstall root first or will this just take care of the whole thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gooseprince7:
I tried unrooting the phone and it was still not letting me update because it was still "modified". I thought this was because I tripped Knox, but maybe I didn't unroot correctly??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
when u flash the stock firmware in Odin it will overwrite root, so no worries. just follow the first part of this guide. obviously don't flash root, or custom recovery. just follow the first part of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765014

or, you could also go to a website called sammobile and download the latest ne6 firmware. The link I provided is also the latest ne6 firmware guide, and like I said just follow the guide up to the the root part and you will be good. it will over write root, and whatever else. good to go.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

yea, you must of done something incorrect. now, you won't have any updates after following the ne6 guide, as you will be on the latest firmware. but if you continue to stay on it you will indeed be able to grab otas when they come. personally I would just root, stay rooted, and keep up to date with roms, and kernels, and all that crap.

Plz help. Here is what happened. I messed up my device so bad it won't turn on or do ANYTHING. I was thinking about getting a jig( if those even work in my case) or having it J-Tagged, but those are MY LAST OPTIONS! I need help really bad and I know I messed up but if anyone knows how to fix it, any help will be gratefully accepted. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Welcome to the forum! You need to provide more information than you have for anyone to be able to help. What device model and carrier is it? How did you get to the bricked state? Were you flashing any firmware? If so, what? What's the firmware history - Android version etc? Recovering from a brick isn't always a hard thing and we do it all the time. We would, however, need to know more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Beau Billings:

Hello, the model is the Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-I747 and the carrier is AT&T. Well I tried rooting it with Team epic root, it didn't work then I tried to flash the stock rom and that didn't work either. It then was hard bricked.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:

Hey, so i got the sd card and did the write of the image to it but, the phone turns on but when i try to send it to download mode it lingers there then flashes to samsung then thats it. So wtf?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
The debrick card lets the phone boot by simulating the internal workings of the device. To get the phone to start working normally, you would have to work your way up the food chain to a full 4.3 stock firmware restore. It won't work any other way. Normally, you should be able to boot into download/recovery modes as well as system with the debrick card. If it won't boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig. Here's what we need to do then ....

1) Download the 4.3 stock restore image from the thread below ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

2) Boot to system with the debrick card and copy the stock restore zip above to your phone's internal storage

3) Power off your phone. Boot into download mode - either with the Volume Down/Power/Home button combo or with a USB jig.

4) Flash custom recovery -TWRP or CWM- via Odin. You can download the Odin flashable *.Tar file for TWRP from the link below ...

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar

5) After successfully flashing custom recovery, remove the battery to avoid rebooting to system, replace the battery and reboot to (custom) recovery with Volume Up/Power/Home buttons

6) Select install and navigate to the stock restore zip you saved earlier. Select this file and swipe to confirm installation. Wait for firmware installation to complete

7) Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system

Hope this works for you. Good luck!

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
I have both the Otterbox Commuter and Spigen Tough Armor Case. I use the Otterbox if I'm going to be outdoors at the beach or in the sand dunes 4 wheeling. It's bulky but does a better job at protecting the phone from the elements. However, the Otterbox case is NOT waterproof so keep that in mind. I use the Spigen case when I'm going to be in the office or indoors most of the time. They are slimmer and fits better in my pocket.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] heffe2001:
Seeing as our phones are waterproof and dustproof (for the most part anyway), the case not having that distinction isn't very important.

That being said, I have that exact Spigen case, and the only complaint I have so far is there's no beltclip for it. If that's important, get a case with a holster, otherwise, the Spigen works just fine. The Otterbox adds too much bulk for me..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] elesbb:
With bulk comes protection :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] elesbb:
Whatever anybody does, do not get the OtterBox preserver case. HORRIBLE! The two pieces that "snap" together come apart VERY easily. Pathetic.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaye1:
I have the Verizon NC4 build and just rooted successfully with TowelRoot. I downloaded and installed XPosed Framework to get Greenify working, and everything works like it did when I had MJE rooted with Kingo. No problems with any of these except with SuperSu. I had downloaded an older version and this might be the problem some are reporting about the binary issues. Today I noticed the newest SuperSu version, 2.0, and installed that apk. Everything worked fine. My advice is to make sure that you are installing the latest version of everything.

So, to answer your question, XPosed installed and behaved flawlessly.
[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
Hey sorry if I'm doing this wrong I'm not much of a forum dweller..

I just purchased an nVidia Shield, it has already been upgraded (or downgraded) to 4.4.2. It is not rooted. I really like it so far however I am trying to get Six Guns working, currently with vanilla Play Store it is not available for this device.

I got it working just fine on my rooted Galaxy S3, as well as Battlefield Commander, using the guidance of the XDA thread, market helper and xposed.

I've been searching high and low and all I can find are directions for rooted devices. I am on an extended vacation (will be here for another 3 months) so rooting is not an option unless it can be done without a PC.

I am also not a fan of cracked/blackmarket .apk's. Would anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?

Again I apologize if I've missed a thread explaining this, not easy when I don't have a PC in front of me. Cheers!

Shield can be rooted with an apk. Just download and run it.
[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
Yaa? Well that's superb, thank you,, I'm used to doing everything the manual way, are you certain it will work? Has anyone else given it a go?
[Shield Q&A] devilsmack:
I used it on my att Galaxy Note 3 and it worked so I tried it on my shield. It takes longer than the 15 secs it says to wait so after pushing the button in the app just let it sit until it reboots. After reboot install the SuperSU in from my thread then run it to update the binaries. You shouldn't have a problem. I was also able to unroot my note 3 easily from within the SuperSU app. Also this method doesn't wipe your data so that's a big plus for me. I've been wanting to root but didn't want to wipe my data.
[Shield Q&A] CobraCommanderp:
Awesome I'll definitely give it a try, just sort of waiting for one more person to share their experience with this method.

I was never worried about brick'ing in my s3 as I can easily get that sorted. The Shield is one of those niche products though, I'm not even sure how I could recover it if something went wrong.

Out of curiosity did you update to 4.4.2 or did you stick with 4.3?

Thanks again you've been a great help! E>
[Shield Q&A] devilsmack:
I'm on 4.4.2. If your worried about bricking I would start looking at and getting familiar with the restore process just in case, but it pretty straight forward. Go to the ATT Note 3 forum. They've been using this apk to root so you can see if there has been any ill effect of using it. Glad I could help.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DREWHAMM974:
Anytime I play any type of audio for 3-4 seconds afterwards there a audible buzz from the speaker. Also happens when I hit the home, back, etc buttons. Low volume buzzing that is driving me nuts. Bought new off swappa,but since where I ordered no warranty. Anyone else ran into this issue? Is there a fix or is it hardware. When audio is playing it is perfect,but as soon as I cut whatever sound was playing it happens again for 3-4 seconds.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djleez82:
I've noticed exactly the same thing. I'm wondering if its the audio settings I've changed (equalizer, xloud etc) but I havent tried to mess with it yet as its not driving me too crazy. Tho if there was a fix I'd flash that in an instant
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
do you have a minijack-to-minijack cable?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, it's the Clear Audio option that does it, or it was on earlier versions, so disable that and it should get better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DREWHAMM974:
The thing is I found a thread mentioning the same. I've done that and enabled /disabled any and all sound effects that I have found. All does it, although it seems to be lower today than it was yesterday. Either that or is just placebo because I'm hoping it will do away.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Could also be a song or an album that's louder than the rest. You know when the volume is at 100, and you push it even further, it'll sound like crap.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DREWHAMM974:
Very true, but the thing is it happens even when I hit the home, back, our recent button. 3-4 seconds after even hitting those buttons if touch sound is enabled I hear it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm... It has to be a bug with the equalizer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djleez82:
Yeah none of those things mentioned fixed it for me either. Maybe its just inherent in the audio engine on some chipsets or something
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
Please tell me if you have a minijack-to-minijack cable, i want to see if the problems we both have are due to the same underlying issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djleez82:
Nope I dont use that
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DREWHAMM974:
Yes, I thought you were joking sorry.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
do you want to try something, maybe see if the problems we have are somehow related?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LiamAtkins90:
I think I have the same problem, had crappy speakers on stock lg,

Flashed a cyan base ROM with DSP Manager installed.

Speakers are a million times better except a buzzing sound every 3/4 minutes.

YouTube Apk, Browser YouTube, XBMC, Music Player its all the same.... Even games lol!

Like a buzzing that interrupts all sound for like half a second then normal sound resumes :/

Its only a small problem but it's a pain in the ***

Any idea what this could be?

A DSM Manager bug or a CM bug?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djind:
It's probably the clearaudio setting. I got that every time after a notification or sound
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
If anyone has a couple minutes to spare, could you try the following?

you will need this mp3 file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3k5joo2HfboRXZwY3JCMDZiSHc/edit?usp=sharing . it is a 2 second long, 1 kHz tone at -3 dB encoded as standard mp3. A simple beep.

disable touch sounds on the phone. the tick tick that it does when you tap on the screen. we don't want inteference with other sound sources.

set that beep as ringtone and notification tone on the phone.

set music volume to just above 0 on phone. the lowest possible without muting it

start playing some music on phone

go to volume settings, the window with the 3-4 sliders.

the experiment is: tap somewhere on the ring or notification volume sliders, wait 10 seconds at least, repeat

does it play the beep with a hiccup? it is quite short when you listen to it this way. if you have headphones on, the pop should be very loud through the headphones.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LiamAtkins90:
What does this experiment do?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I just experienced some buzzing when I was changing my ringtone (1 second static noise after each play), and I noticed that I had Dynamic Normalizer enabled with xLOUD, and the buzzing went away as soon as I disabled Dynamic Normalizer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
tests for a problem with the audio which might be related to the one experienced by others in this thread.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LiamAtkins90:
OK :)

the same thing happens to me too. with battery below 50%, the noise is also felt for the duration of the game or music. I hope sony resolve with the next update
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shbrnutslap:
I wanted to root my phone, and did successfully. After I did that I wanted to install a rom other than the stock one. I did not know at the time that I needed S-Off. I unsuccessfully booted Venom and got my myself caught up in a boot loop. I then decided to just use and RUU and go totally back to stock. I made another big mistake and did not know that you needed a version equal or newer than your current version to run an RUU. After a full two and a half days I have exhausted all known resources. I even took it to sprint to see if they could help. Of course they couldn't, but I had no idea what else to try. Currently I have no known ROM on my phone. No OS, nothing. All I can do is fastboot. Here is the current state of the phone:

*** RELOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

Completely lost at this point. I've followed instructions as well as I could. I am on limited bandwidth so I cannot download **** all, really sucks. Making my life hell actually, I managed to get the Canadian Rogers 4.4.2 AP and a Canadian Rogers CP and a Multi Canadian CSC, flashed them all and nothing. Reverts back to stock but with a UK CSC.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] frunabulax:
Hello: I have an AT&T I337 that until 2 days ago had stock ROM on it. I didn't like the fact that AT&T blocked my ability to 1) tether, and 2) sideload so after about 1 1/2 years I finally decided to root and flash a ROM that would allow me to do these things. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, rooted with saferoot, installed safestrap, and installed Deadly Venom's v3.0.2 NC1 KitKat ROM. Since there are some outstanding instructions in the AT&T GS4 forum I was able to do all this relatively easily (and I'm pretty much a NOOB) and I'm really happy with the ROM so far. The Wi-Fi Hotspot capabilities seem to work well; the only problem is that I still can't sideload. The "Unknown sources" option under "Security" in settings is greyed out and unchecked (so are "Wait for debugger" and "Verify apps via USB," under "Developer options," but I don't think I need those items for anything). Does anyone else have this problem? Or more importantly, does anyone know how to enable "Unknown sources" so I can install apps from the Amazon Appstore, etc.? I thought for sure that rooting would be the solution, if not the custom ROM. I even tried using the AndroidCentral Sideload Wonder Machine v1.2 that someone mentioned would install apk's regardless of the phone's security settings -- it didn't. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
