Stickies? I'm a long time reader but first time poster because this one did my head in so bad, but I do not know what the stickies are. I'll look for them. So basically your telling me I have to do the whole downgrade method if I want to do this? Or it's just not possible at this time? Thanks for the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wzhigaylo:
It is possible to install this rom, you just have to use Safestrap.

This is how to install:

Note: SafeStrap doesn't work with encryption turned on (disabled by default). If you don't know if you don't have encryption on/your phone isn't a business phone (in which case you shouldn't be doing this!!!) then you most likely don't have encryption on!!

6. Use this app to change your SELinux mode to "Permissive" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux, this is required to use SafeStrap

7. Install SafeStrap 3.72 APK from this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2448925, NOT 3.71 FROM THE VERIZON THREAD!!! Then click install in the SafeStrap App

8. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu and update your binaries

Then to enter safestrap while rebooting hit menu key, from there you can flash your rom.

Stickies are at the top of each forum because they considered to important enough for all to read........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techguy2002:
This does not work with safestrap its said over and over in the thread that it will not work. I tried it anyway per what you said and it wont get past the boot animation. You have to have an mdk bootloader and be able to install custom recovery for this to actually work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tron4949:
thank you for that, which is why I have not messed with safestrap..its one of the first things in the post. so I guess that brings me back to where I started. Do I need to use the down grade method? If I do will it even work? and can somebody please point me in the direction of a proper (loki) recovery that I can flash and will work with my hardware. Thanks

EDIT -

believe me when I say I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't checked hundreds of threads already.

in case it helps, the end goal here is to get the GPE ROM on my phone. I'm rooted with towel. Ive gone in so many circles at this point I need someone who actually has done it or knows what they are talking about. Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You can't do loki...Please do some reading...unless u have a mdk firmware...u can only do safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tron4949:
If I downgrade to MDK firmware (I believe you can with surges method??), then I will be able to do this, correct? (without dealing with safestrap) by "this" I mean of course, finding a different recovery and flashing the GPE ROM.

If you read the top you would know that I spent MANY hours, reading MANY different threads and sites, that is why I am in the help section now. I'm not exaggerating when I say I spent from 11PM last night until 6:30 this morning with only a few breaks. I've flashed and re-flashed a million different files trying to get the results I wanted (bricked several times) and nothing worked, so this is my last resort
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You can NOT downgrade to mdk....u are confusing it with mk2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tron4949:
I see. So unless someone has a GPE ROM that works with safestrap, I am out of luck until a downgrade method, or some other alternate recovery mthod is found? I appreciate your time and help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Yep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tron4949:
Understood. The learning curve has been very steep, as the last time I did this stuff there was only one version of each phone, sbf's were still around (don't know if they are or not anymore but it's not what I have to use to unbrick now) etc. Thanks so much for the replies and ill keep my eyes open for solutions as they are developed. I WILL have google play edition on my phone someday, and I thank all the dev's ahead of time for their hard work!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hipsh0t:
Ok so ever since I tried H/K audio on my M8 I fell in love with it. Only problem is that there is currently 1 rom where both of these options work without the setting app crashing. That is the InsertCoin 3.0.3 or higher. I was wondering that if they were able to make this work is there anyone out there who knows the answer. Ive tried pulling out all of the apks and files necessary for h/k to work but I knew it wouldnt because of the way ART and Smali works. I was just hoping someone could help me out. Big request but I figure if one of them is working then more can too :D:D:D:D

On the insercoin rom you can flash the hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737498. After that you can enable h/k audio in the kontrol area in settings and after that enable ART in settings.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
You either need to install Fastboot and ADB look in dev are for links or your not in the directory where the adb and fastboot executables are.

This is why your getting this error. Also i have tried towelroot and it froze my tegranote right out i have to reflash the device again to get it working or more over just the /System partition.

If you have gone though the OTA updates and have hit past 4.3 then you can simply use the SuperTool to restore your tablet which has everything in there for you including the fastboot and adb.

Just make sure you wasn't on 4.2.2 before using this methord.

Also you haven't said which brand of tablet you have either.

By looks of the link you posted your after installing root via either CWM or TWRP (I suggest using TWRP!)

if thats the case.

Install fastboot and adb files some where and also the recovery image of choice then do the fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery .img file ) then download the SuperSU zip and flash that in your chosen recovery you will then be rooted!.

[General Topics] dezzadk:
I decided to get a new phone (previously: SAMSUNG Galaxy S2) and of course decided on the (back then) newly announced Nexus 5 - bought just after the last Google I/O annoucements.

Everyone knows the Nexus brand is known for the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) vanilla experience, and more likely to get support and system updates than other phone manufacturers.

Guess what. I was wrong.

Problems from the very start was inability to reconnect to 3G/4G networks when pendling from home to work. Another problem (which still persists) is that the phone in-call turns the whole digitizer touch surface into a massive screen/power toggle button - and makes it impossible or very troublesome to check up things while in-call.

I've had my Nexus 5 from only a few weeks after launch - and only since then it has gotten 1 single update from Google.

I love the Android framework, and it's the most enjoyable framework to develop apps for.

Google is now officially another contributer to the throw-away society - and you can't trust the Nexus brand for getting updates and making an overall quality experience.

Another thing is Google Hangouts - which I dislike with a passion. It takes so many taps just to get to a profile you want to delete and overall is just unintuitive and a bottleneck. It lacks so many features that previously were possible and is just not acceptable in any way.

I'm writing this because Google I/O 2014 is just around the corner, June 25-26th - and there will probably be launched another Nexus phone to replace and bury the old Nexus 5.

I've had many HTC phones in my time, HTC desire, desire hd, one x and one sv, now I have a one m7_ul, it's on the 401 ruu with hboot 1.57, currently running viperone sense 6 Rom, I've just paid to have it s-off by java card, as rumrunner and firewater didn't work for me.

What I would like to do now is remove the red text and also the TAMPERED and UNLOCKED messages from the bootloader screen, not sure how to proceed with this as like I said I am very new to s-off on the m7, but far from a noob with these devices, I know it involves flashing an unsecure hboot, but is there different ones for different versions of these phones, and where do I find them etc.

Tia
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can remove the red text by flashing a custom hboot. The custom hboot must match your version. in your case you can use this one, instructions how to flash in the same thread. Be carefull with custom hboot, you can brick your phone in some conditions (i.e turning back s-on on a custom hboot)

imo, you should live with the red text and not flashing a modded hboot

you can use this tool from custom recovery: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/

or you can do it using adb commands:

[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)

[how to] remove your "tampered" banner

be careful with dd commands, better to copy/paste them
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
to remove tampered, you can use this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527194

or scotty1223's adb commands (he has threads in the m7 general section, one for removing the tampered, and another one for locking/unlocking the bootloader)

though i recommend you keep bootloader unlocked

for the red text, you'll need to flash a "no red" modded hboot, for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2753631

(there are others too, but don't have any links handy, as I usually avoid messing around with hboot)

Thank you guys, I knew I could rely on you lot, don't ask for help very often because as my Mrs would tell you, I'm stubborn, and like to figure things out myself, it's the only way to learn, but when it's something as serious as flashing hboot, it's ask or brick.

I am aware that a custom hboot will instantly brick my phone if I return to s-on, but have no intentions of doing that, I've had to fight for s-off and here it is staying, I hate s-on.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
It was a little back street mobile phone shop which I found in an area I visit regular, its kind of a hardware flash rather than software, its like it being reset by HTC themselves.

Java card = hardware reset

firewater / rumrunner = software reset

This is them and exactly what they did, doesn't matter which HBOOT you are on, notice how they plug a lead into the phone, it has a microsd card and reader attached to the other end.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlyMoh:
Hi. This is my first time on the xda developers forum. I previously browsed it to root my GT-P7500 tablet and it worked. Now I have a problem (not with the root)

The ICS update is NOT arriving to my country (I bought it from UAE) and I am stuck on Honeycomb, so I thought about flashing a stock ICS ROM. However, The available stock ROMs are for other countries and the Build number does not match the other ROMs I found on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. So is it OK to flash a ROM released for a different country? A good note I should leave is that the tablet is UNLOCKED when I bought it. Also, most of the files from samsung-updates and sammobile are bad (due to poor hosting sites) when I download them, and because I live in Egypt and the internet pretty sucks (1Mbps) it usually takes 4-8 hours to download a single file and in the end it turn out to be corrupted usually due to network error from the hosting site's end. if anyone has a stock ICS ROM for my Galaxy Tab GT-P7500 on hosting sites like mediafire or MEGA please post me the download link, though this is not my main concern at the moment.

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Hey,

I have a 64GB Sandisk Ultra microSD card. I am now on my third dead card, after killing all three through a re-partition and format using Mini Partition Wizard Home.

Originally, I got over 6 months of trouble free operation from the card, with 4 partitions. When I recently upgraded my phone, I went to repartition the card, and it died. I got a replacement from Sandisk (as they have a 10y warranty), and when I went to re-partition the replacement, it died as well. Tonight I just got the next MicroSD card replacement and again, as soon as I reformatted it (I wanted it all EXT4) IT DIED!!!

Originally, I thought it died because I defined the partitions in reverse order (ie the last partition first and the first partition last). Now, I think it was because when I create the EXT4 partition these last three times, I am using a 4K cluster size instead of the default. The first time I partitioned and formatted it (and it worked), I would think I had left it on default. Other than that, I cannot see what I have done that would cause the issue????

Anyway, now I have a Micro SD card that is not recognised by Mini Partition wizard, so I can't reformat it and bring it back to life.

In windows partition manager, it does show up, but as having a size of 0 bytes, and therefore I cant add or delete any partitions. I have searched high and low, and all I can find are recovery software for deleted files or partitions. But my card has no partitions. I also downloaded the micorSD industry standard SDFormatter, but it does not see the card as an option to reformat.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could recover the card? I think Sandisk may get a little difficult when I get back to them saying I killed another card, and I do not want to wade through the whole returns process and wait for a replacement card, again.

Any ideas? I am getting desperate. The card can't be physically damaged, i would guess if I could re-flash the firmware or something, the card would come back to life.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J2270A:
Maybe a format would do? Well, if you can go with losing the data on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
That's the problem. I can not reformat it, as nothing (useful) can see the card, to enable the creation of a partition to apply a format to.

At the very best, I can see it as having 0 bytes. ie I can not add a partition to apply a format to it. If I could reformat it (ie define a partition), all would be ok. The card is dead, and it was brand new (for the 2nd time) so there is no data on the card to recover.
