[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
I tried to do this and I bricked my old phone. I don't wanna run the risk of doing it again. If anyone in the south Florida area can help me out. By rooting and installing a recovery so I can flash ROMs I would appreciate it. Please let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
It's very simple, just download TowelRoot, SafeStrap and SuperUser. Install TowerRoot, hit root then wait for the device to reboot. Then install SU, open it and hit update binaries (normal method) and then install SS, grant it SU permisions and hit install recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
I got them. Running SU and it is stuck on the disabling KNOX. Do I just wait.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
I keep getting this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Have you rebooted a few times?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
Yes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Install BusyBox from the Play Store, open it and install BusyBox, then try SU again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
Busy box asked for SU permission. I granted it. Install was sucussfull. Then went back to SU to install bianary . no luck. What am I doing wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Try the newest SU, delete the one on your phone. download THIS file, unzip it, go to the common folder and install that SU app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
Nope still no luck. The first time I ran SU it asked to bypass Samsung KNOX. Could that be the issue. I said yes to bypass.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Did it install the SU binaries before you saw the KNOX notification?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
It was in the middle of installing the binaries. So am I OK to install saftstrap recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Try it and see if you can grant SU permissions when you open the app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
It installed and I made a backup of the stock rom. But I saved it to my internal memory. Will that be affected when I install custom ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
It's best to place the backups on an external SDcard, that way if something happens and you need to flash a tar file in odin the backup is safe.

I'm glad you got it rooted, enjoy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall_634:
My phone is running soooo slow. Programs wont open and keep getting force close popups. How can I revert back to full stock not rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAMPPLE:
Hello, every time I enter into the recovery/reflash the curent rom or something like this with odin, and root my device I have the usb debugging ON:mad: . So is something wrong if I have this on? :fingers-crossed:

[General Questions and Answers] tallnuttoz:
Hi,

ok, I'm stupid.. I thought this would be easy.. but having a nightmare. How can I transfer all my data to a new sd card on the same phone?? In the past, when I've got a new phone, I just put the old sd card in the new phone and hey presto, everything is there... but on the same phone, this seems amazingly difficult..

I am using android 4.2.1. I have tried copying data in every way I can think of in an ubuntu and mac pc to the new card, then putting it back in the phone. It ALLWAYS fails to see the new sd card in gallery and apps. i.e. any apps that were on the sd card have gone and the gallery will not see the new sd card. Some apps will see the new card, like poweramp (mps) but not others.. I put the original sd card back in the phone and then everything is fine again, but I cannot move any apps or data off it or clear any caches - they are all greyed out. All data for the card always says 'calculating' and never displays... in any app, ES file explorer, files manager, system settings apps, etc. Seems like this is a fatal problem and I am stuck with the 16GB original card or nothing (wanted a new 32 GB). Apps like colornote dissappear, but I need all the notes on it, there are some very important ones..

I have titanium backup, can I use that to do it?? But I always find the usage of that app inpenetrably complicated...

Thanks for any help, going mad here.. surely this should be easy??!!!!

So I'm a horrible reader, but essentially are you having trouble moving apps + data from phone to a new SD card? Are you rooted?

Thanks, but thats not what I want to do. I want to copy my existing sd card to a new, bigger one, not transfer apps from internal storage to an sd.
[General Questions and Answers] theErock:
Oh well then to do that wouldn't you need to back up what is on your old SD card on to your phone the insert the new SD card and transfer them from your phone to new SD card?

[General Questions and Answers] tallnuttoz:
erm.. yes.

that's what I have tried, but apps that are on the phone, when I try to start them, say 'app not intsalled' and gallery dhows no photos, even though they are there on the card.

yes.. everything is fat32. but you are saying I need to reformat the card actually in a phone then yransfer everything from my comp? Why then can some apps already see the card but not gallery? How can I only format the card in android. The only option in the seytings is 'erase sd card '. Is this the same thing?
[General Questions and Answers] theErock:
When you mount a new SD card (if I'm correct) its formatted for the phone specifically.

OK maybe try using titanium back up to back up all your apps and data to old SD card then transfer titanium back up files from the old to new the insert the new SD card in your phone and extract files using titanium.

[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
Why is this so difficult? I have looked all over the internet and NOBODY seems to be able to explain in clear, simple language how to switch an old SD card in your phone to a new bigger one without creating a mess. There are lots of OPINIONS about how to copy files from one card to another, but there is no-one on the planet who has ACTUALLY done this successfully who can explain EXACTLY what they did. Unfreakingbelievable!

[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] .rootCoder.:
Hi !

After the MODEMS thread,

i decided to start this thread to help SGS ACE IIx and S Duos owners in recoveries switching....

So, if you want to flash kk+ roms(Like CM11, BeanStalk...), TWRP is better for you

You can get it >>>>> HERE

If you want to flash stock-based roms(Like PMP Ultra, Kyle/SS/Open, Cosmic...), CWM is better for you

You can get it >>>>> HERE

Just flash your recovery from your current one and then reboot recovery....

Regards......
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] TheDrive:
Thank you for your job!

I'm using TWRP and have already customized .fstab to allow backing up all the partitions

including modem FW and settings (ecrypted, contains real qualcomm efs customized by Samsung incl IMEI, locks and baseband settings) which are very important to be on the safe side and restore device to the working condition independently of what had been damaged and what Samsung and other unfair "money-makers" want me to do or not to do or buy or not to buy. Furthermore, we can dump whole emmc to the raw image incl partition table and secret holes (its almost standard MBR, because emmc is nothing else than almost standard extremely cheap $2 (in retail!) uSD card (the only difference it's soldered as BGA) which sold as some valuable BIG'n'cool "internal storage" and I will not be surprised if its made of MLC NAND which will fail soon to make Samsung happy to sell you a new cool device ). This full emmc dump will be flashable via JTAG as RAW image (RIFF JTAG standard), so we needn't to have $150 RIFF to backup, but can buy it once we would be forced to restore our devices.

S7562 has JTAG connector so even soldering is optional and pin adapter could be used instead.

But there is problem to me - I can't find TWRP recovery settings in external file, so I can't edit primary check boxes positions and can't manage cache entry because it always shows "Android Secure" instead of cache independently of what cache entry contains in .fstab. I realize these settings built-in to the recovery binary so I ask you to share sources in this topic so everyone could be able to fully customize package.

On other hand I would be pleased to cooperate with you because I have 20+years of hacking experience but almost have no android/linux development experience, so I think it could get more time for me to install and tune up environment than hacking itself. I can provide you with full partition layout and some other internals of the Kyle and ready (but not debugged) .fstab to make a few good TWRP assemblies with different fstabs (most full version I'm sure shouldn't be offered to the novices, because they can easily kill their devices) or one more customized and featured.

Furthermore, MAYBE ones (who are familiar with iron and fan) can blow off emmc and solder in standard uSD slot (8-9 wires, I don't think they use SPI pins) to use cheap 16-32Gb uSD or may be superfast 64-128 or even 256Gb for internal storage. Anyway, I can't remember real parts# inside, even if there is MCP instead of pure emmc, ones can always order another BIG'n'Fast :) emmc (or MCP with emmc and bigger DRAM size), flash it and reball in place. (or reball then flash w/RIFF).

No flashing/software problems they should experience - the only modification req'd is to expand userdata ext4 partition to the size of new emmc or create new additional one and write script to mount it to the system at startup.

Modding is always fun because it's your creature and your win, not the other's labor and mind, bought at the store :)

The most limiting here is a free time, but I have a small amount. :)

Sorry for my longer Delay( coz i'm busy, you know, studying...)

Happy new Christmas year!, and happy new Hijri year !

Thank you for every thing you said

even if you're only a junior 3+ posts member here, you're a one of the most respectable hackers, we may go on and make somthing special with this device.

About the source code of twrp, it's originally owned by codename13, this is only a binary dump and repackaging, he just got the code of kyle(ss)open kernel and made a working recovery, you may contact him for it( coz i didn't find it on his github)

i wish to you a good experience with linux, just like the other systems

and i wish to get some experience from you (coz i still a 16years beginer with some 2years of linux experience :D )

may god help us.....

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcoffee1985:
I have rooted my note 3 via towelroot (thank you so much geohot!!!). I have installed exposed framework, supersu, busybox and safestrap. Here is the question: my note switches from device status custom to official. On some boots it will have the custom status icon on screen. Some boots it does not. This corresponds to the system info as well....sometime shows custom and sometimes official. Why is this? Its no big deal i'm just curious. Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Once you rooted you customized the software. That custom padlock logo is a tattle tale telling on you! I believe your using an xposed module to "fake system status" in order to fool certain people. The xposed module is failing when you see this. It's possible an update, or setting was applied to the module making it fail. Or maybe it's losing it's superuser rights. I had the same thing happen to me. I used triangle away and haven't seen it again. It will surely come back on a factory reset I'm sure.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note crazy:
This happened to me as well and I know its not the xposed because I checked it. This has only happened 3 times and has not happen in like 4 days I checked my system and it says everything is official it did say custom the 3 times it happened I did do a factory reset and it still says official my question is has anyone found a way to unroot for warranty porpoises? Su will not unroot towelroot from what im seeing ...but if everything says official would you even need to worry about unrooting lol I mean if u just factory reset and sent it back I shows no sign of root its all official and no knox tripped ..just a thought ..

Freezing "sysscope " on my sgs4 removed the custom unlock boot logo /icon like a charm, however it still bounces back and forth between official and custom on device status when looking.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jondoe27:
Remove "busy box" file in XBIN system folder. Found this solution on a "Galaxy S4" forum. For a some reason a system keeps some leftovers after the full recovery done. Kinda wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCottonKid:
Today I was finally able to get my phone rooted, install SafeStrap and get into TouchWiz. Thing is, I dislike TouchWiz so I downloaded CyanogenMod for note 3. I put the CyanogenMod zip in my downloads folder on my Note 3. I went into safestrap, clicked install, found the .zip and swiped to flash. After that finished I clicked reboot and I got black screened. I then took the battery out and then the **** hit the fan. I booted the device and the SafeStrap splash screen came up along with the stock bootloader android bot image and my screen was displaying all of these colors and tripping acid. I now have taken the battery out and am hoping I can save my device. For some information on the device, It's a Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon running 4.4.2 rooted. I cant even get into ODIN mode... I've been getting tons of views and no reply's so that's leading me to believe it's something major. If it is please don't be afraid to respond and if you need a clearer explanation please PM me so I can get this fixed. I need my phone for work and I picked a really bad time to start tinkering with my phone haha. Thank you so much for reading! :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zat0x:
No sure but it sounds like you hard bricked your device ( no acces to download/odin mode or recovery).

"my screen was displaying all of these colors and tripping acid" sounds like a display error.

Put in the battery and keep trying to acces odin mode if the screen is working ( Hold power + home button + volume down) .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCottonKid:
What should I do if that doesn't work? I've tried a few times already but I'll keep going at it. The screen has now shifted from "Tripping acid" to a white fuzzyish screen that shows the SafeStrap splashscreen kind of outlined.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brojoe11:
Have you tried to boot into recovery? That is assuming you have a backup saved.

Put battery in...hold down power, volume up and home key...when you see Samsung logo let go of the power key only...hopefully it might boot into recovery. Just one idea...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCottonKid:
OMG I GOT INTO RECOVERY!! I did make a back up but I did it in SafeStrap. It dropped me in the default BootLoader with a dead android with its chest opened up. Idk if this means something haha.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brojoe11:
If it won't let you load the backup, you might could use kies software on a desktop or notebook to recover you device back to stock. Just another idea. Sometimes with enough persistence you can recover a semi bricked device. I sure hope you get it going. A messed up phone will make you pull your hair out....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCottonKid:
Thank you so much! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCottonKid:
When I plug the phone in, Kies isn't recognizing it... Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HitNrun_:
have you tried to boot in to bootloader? Take battery out and press Vol down + home button then power button. If you get in there you can use odin 99% to flash an other rom or stock firmware
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brojoe11:
You are welcome. Hope you got it going. :highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
You must clarify if you can get into download (Odin) mode:

- if you can not there is some major flash corruption going on, not much you can do

- if you can get into download mode you need to write your stock ROM.

Hi All,

Long time viewer, first time poster.

Firstly would like to thank many of you for posting awsome information and providing a great deal of help to people like myself who rely on these places to get the infor required to really enjoy our PDA/Phones :)

Ok now to the problem

I have an XDA 2S with the latest Rom, i use it for business because of the WiFi and its ability to browse websites and support Putty :)

However since getting it i have had nothing but problems with using Bluetooth on it :(, i now have 6 different Bluetooth Brands ranging from Nokia, Ericsson, Blueant and Jabra and to date none have provided me with quality Bluetooth voice...... Well nothing like my Nokia or NEC mobile phones.

The issue i have is that voice is constantly breaking up, even when the phone is like 30cm away from the Bluetooth, i have tried everything but one thing!

And this is where i need to probe the wisdom of some of you

1. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Drivers on the phone? IF there is can some one direct me to either downloads, Litriture for reading or to any websites that talk about it.

2. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Firmware from version 1.1 to 1.2? The guy i was speaking with from O2 said that he has heard/seen people do it in some cases was successful and in other cases destroyed the phone to the point where a re-load had to be carried out.

Any infromation on this problem that others can share with me would be greatly appreciated, if anyone else is having this same problem please do share your experience with me and if any work arounds let me know

Mobile Spec's:

O2 XDA 2S

Firmware 1.40

Radio version 1.12

Bluetooth Headset = Nokia HS-26W

If i lack any information please let me know.

Thank you in advance :)

Cheers,

David.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
if your bluetooth stack is not vidcomm do a search in the forum for vidcomm

it's generaly seen as a better stack then ms's one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DavidT:
Thank you Rudegar i appreciate your assistance :)

Is there a way on my O2 that i can see what stack i have?

Once again thank you for your reply.

Cheers,

David.

Update: I have the BT 1.0.0.0 Build 3900 BT stack on my O2 XDA-2S not sure if the Update will work on my phone, dont really feel ike bricking it yet, so if anyone has had any measure of success with upgrading the BT stack on the same model phone i am interested to hear the reports.
