I tried to root my friends s4 but it gave me failed every time in windows 7. I couldnt figure this was happening reinstalling kies did not help.

I also have winodws 8 on same machine installed kies and flashed cfroot using odin everything went fine.

I think you need to try different pc. Give that a try.

Oh once using different pc to flash cfroot phone should boot to firmware you were using before.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleming.patel:
Download your default firmware from sammobile and follow this instructions. .. Instructions

Extract (unzip) the firmware file and

Open Odin v3.09

Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldo9_r9:
Yeah I was getting pit error. If you had a firmware already installed and you are trying to flash cfroot it will give u that error. Try different pc mate.

And don't use your error odin or download new odin and delete your past odin...

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

And second is...make sure you install kies your battery is totally fulled.now connect your device to kies and go to tools\firmware upgrade and initialization and then type your device model number in CAPITAL after that enter your device S\N or serial number and hit ok. After that kies downloading your firmware and when it's finished new tab appear and hit start upgrade ....................

And this method not worked so last is reflash as well as above I said.

You should reflash the latest firmware and stay away from rooting/flashing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldo9_r9:
When I was flasing my mates pc it showed failed in odin, I was worried that I soft bricked his phone. I did not tell him that. I downloaded the official firmware to flash that. That didnt work because something in windows 7 was not right. Even with the message u got all I had to do was use different machine to flash the cf root and after that phone booted fine into the rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hockeydemon:
Long story short I finally busted my droid razr after having it for 3 years. I accidentally spilled water on it and because of this I took it apart to remove the battery and accidentally ripped the battery power ribbon. I was long over due for a new phone so I'm not concerned with fixing it - however I'd like to get some data off the internal storage device. The phone itself still works as far as I know I just have no battery for it and it does not let me power it up just using a wall charger with no battery.

Is there any way to access the data on the internal storage device? I'd prefer to not have to try to solder the battery ribbon back to the battery. I haven't tried plugging it into my PC without a battery - just tried to turn it on while plugged into the wall.

Any suggestions be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kaziq:
I don't know any cell phone that can turn on on external charger without the battery. I believe it's because of how cell phones' power circuits are designed.

If you don't want to solder the battery ribbon, then I think the only option would be to unsolder the flash memory and read it with a special flash programming device. Which is a lot more difficult task, so it seems soldering the ribbon is the only option for you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] roscored1000:
what about....

what about taking the battery out and plugging the phone in to power and trying to switch it on? does it work? other motorolas let you do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pondview2:
I have a rooted Google Nexus 10 tablet with Clockwork Mod and Android 4.4.2. The Google USB driver worked fine on my Windows 7 laptop and I was able to use adb to push files to my tablet. I foolishly let the automatic 4.4.3 OTA download and install. Now, my tablet is stuck in bootloop AND Windows has completely forgotten my Google USB driver and thus adb can't see the tablet, so I can't transfer over the 4.4.3 image or flash in Clockwork Mod via sideload. Yes, Clockwork Mod works great and I can boot into recovery mode. I've seen a thousand postings that all talk about stuff you do from Android like enabling USB debugging, etc, but this is all worthless when you can't boot Android. In retrospect, I wish I had kept a backup image on my SD card. So three questions:

1. How can I get the update image onto my tablet, either by sideload or adb push?

2. Is the factory image (4.4.3 (KTU84L) ) correct or since I'm rooted, am I supposed to use a modified one?

3. Would the manual update method be as simple as copying over the factory OTA to my SD Card ahead of time, booting into recovery mode and flashing?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pondview2:
Well, no response from anybody. I just saw this on another post: "Having USB Debugging ticked WHILE IN ANDROID has absolutely no effect on whether or not your computer can see the device WHILE IN RECOVERY OR FASTBOOT. "

This is very informative. I just wonder if "adb devices" ever shows anything if you're in recovery mode. I wonder also if the Windows 7 driver is supposed to work. I have a feeling this driver is based on communicating with Android itself, so of course it won't work. So maybe fastboot is the way to go? That's what I'll try next.

It seems unlikely that there will be an official wireless charging back plate released any time soon given that the Quick Circle case is the only charging case advertised at the moment and not a whisper of an alternative on the usual rumour sites. It looks like those of us with the Korean version who want wireless charging are going to have to either wait for the eBay qi receivers to appear or modify the Quick Circle case (assuming you don't want a flap case) by stripping the coil off the case and sticking it onto the back of the existing plate. I did that with the Lumia 1020 wireless charging case and it was quite easy to do - and it worked!

However, $70+ for one of these cases is quite an expensive experiment if it fails....

Has any brave person tried it? Or cut off the flap? Or tried an S5 qi receiver instead?

I was wrong : the cases are out.

[G3 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Definitely, going to make sure what the US version has before ordering.

Hmm that's strange. So this is a case? Not just a replacement battery cover?

I would consider this but it doesn't even have the same nice texture that the original cover has. :/
[G3 Accessories] tangiers:
Sorry, probably the wrong description. Not a case but a replacement battery cover. Though the one does have a built in rubber bumper, which makes it almost a case.

I was wondering.. Sinc the EU version will have a stock wireless charging.. Couldn't we just buy the back plate then? I am sure they'll be available?

which would indicate im only half rooted but i have full access and permissions to the system folder and everything else.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daxperienced1:
i have two processes that keep crashing regularly and have quite frankly, wrecked my experience with the phone.

if i didn't know better i would say it is result of me uninstalling bloatware using titanium backup and accidently uninstalling important stuff

that or xposed framework causing some troubles.

First off,

i seem to have broken MTP mode on my xperia z2. whenever i connect device in MTP mode, PC does not detect it, Both explorer.exe and PC companion fail to detect my device, and the device itself shows this notification.

So far, MTP mode seems to be only casualty of this process crashing constantly.

Second,

My sync services seem to have stopped working too. i can't sync my google calender. rest of accounts and even rest of google features sync perfectly.

whenever i try to sync calendar, it gives another notification -

Since, i have autosync on, and it tries to sync again and again, i keep getting this notification again and again.

i have tried everything that i could find on google. my last resort seems to be repairing phone with help of Sony PC companion.

please help me avoid such a situtaion.

Also, if say situation in unavoidable, do i lose all my apps when i repair phone? PC companion says personal data such as contacts, messages, bookmarks, settings, calendar events and files such as video, photos in internal storage will be deleted. It makes no mention about apps at all.

since i have huge apps (NFS most wanted, Injustice:gods among us), i'd hate to download them again...

Secondly, Do i lose root access upon repairing phone?

Thirdly, will my bootloader still remain unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlund:
From reading around on the forum and asking on IRC I have tried to figure out exactly how KNOX works. This is my conclusion, but I am far from sure this is correct.

If someone can give me more information, I would be happy :)

On a GT-I9506 with the stock 4.2.2 bootloader, using ODIN to flash custom software does not do anything special since the 4.2.2 bootloader does not contain the KNOX functionality to burn the e-fuse.

On a GT-I9506 that has been upgraded and has the 4.3 bootloader, using ODIN to flash new

unsigned

software will burn the e-fuse.

This post has been edited/updated with information from the thread below.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alestilohomer:
Semi-correct, with 4.2.2 bootloader you doesn't have knox, but with 4.3 bootloader you have knox, but you can flash a new official rom with Odin without affect the knox status. It only will change to 0x1 if you flash something unnoficial with Odin, like a custom recovery, kernel, root, etc... but know you can root in 4.3 wirh towelroot.

Ah, yes. This is my understanding as well, I was unclear in my post. I will edit it to reflect this!

Yeah. It would be interesting to find out if you can downgrade the 4.3 bootloader to 4.2.2 after getting root with towelroot, without burning the KNOX e-fuse

I've rooted my z1c with locked bootloader and install a rom after wiped /system. But /system cannot be mounted as r/w. I've flashed dualrecovery again while it did not work.

Nothing is in /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/ and /sbin/ric cannot be deleted after I executed /system/xbin/rickiller.sh

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
You can't simply execute the script, it needs to be executed at boot before RIC is intialized. I advise you to flash stock rom with flashtool (for clean /system) then simply root with this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 and install dualrecovery again. :good:

Hey, i was lucky enough not to get NC2 update, Now that the root is out im thinking about updating.

im running NB4 with NC2 modem so, other then losing the A2 boot loader, i cant think of any benifts of updating.

let's discuss it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] orphan203:
I had no issues. Just follow instructions and you will be fine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Why would you update. NB4 has actually always been rootable with kingo root app. Stay there. Root with kingo so you can be able to jump between KK and JB whenever you want. If you update your NB4 to NC2 that means you're taking the new bootloader and then get stuck.

from my (not anymore) locked note 3!

Also... NB4 was more stable if you ask me. I have had issues with NC2, sleep death and random restarts.

yeah man. NB4 was basically an MJ5. it was only 53 MB update which is a preparation for the "big update" that locked us down NC2.

I figured NB4 was better the way im running it. Just thought id see what some of the guys at got stuck with KK had to say about now that they got root.

I'll update when a "restore to NC2" thread appears. Or we get an Odin flashable tar file for NC2. If you root and botch up NC2 you have to go to bestbuy for a reflash.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cputoys:
ditto

I was also lucky enough to be already rooted and able to freeze the update before all this kk calamity began. Now, with nova prime, xposed mods and zooper widget, I can't see how anything is going to be better than this! Everything works, the battery is great, no issues! I will stay put until something (the next big thing!) comes along that absolutely requires kk to run! :D

I deliberately updated to NC2 (Firekat) from MJ5 (Firenote) because I wanted to see if it would fix my very slow and inconsistent GPS locks (which neither Drakey's gpsfix nor a hardware effort to rebend my leaf pins helped). I'm glad to say that NC2 appears to have done the trick, so that is one thing in its favor. But if you're not having GPS issues, then I agree with most of the posters here -- no reason to lock yourself down (unless you're trying to cure being a flashaholic....)
