How to Remove your locked bookmarks from Stock Android browser on the S5. This may work on other Samsung Phones but I haven't tested it.

1. Root your S5

2. Go to Playstore and get Root Browser app or a good root accessible file editor and allow it Root privilege. I tried ES Explorer and for some reason it would not save file for me after editing.

3. Open Root Browser app, navigate down tap system/csc/ customer.xml

4. Select the RB Text Editor

5. Swipe down until you find <Browser> <NetworkName>ATT</NetworkName><Editable>No</Editable> Change the No to yes so it says <Editable>yes</Editable> do this for all 4.

6.Save and exit out.

7. Reboot

8. Go to Settings, Application Manager, All apps, Internet, Clear cashe, Clear data. Exit out

9. Go into Internet browser, You can now delete those bookmarks out. You will have to set your home page back up and you will lose your other Bookmarks, but if they are linked to your Samsung account you can load them back up.

I am not responsible if you mess up your phone. Please, hit the thanks button if you used this to get rid of bookmarks.

Can I get a Mod to edit my Title and add a little Bold. Plus insert a on before S5. Please!!! And Thank You

Hello, I am switching over to ST and I'd really like to use my Maxx HD there. I've seen threads about using it on ST's GSM service & buying a t-mobile sim card, but is it possible to use it on Verizons (CDMA) network on ST? VZW has better coverage around my area.

Another thing I cannot figure out is whether or not it is unlocked from the factory or not. Some threads say yes, some say no. At this point, I do not know what to do to get it on VZW's coverage at this point. All help is welcome.

I apologize if this has already been answered

In other news, had this Lifeproof Frè for about a month now and I love it. I've always had name brand cases but this is my first Lifeproof. I'm really impressed with the quality and overall look and functionality. The the protection is second to none. Not to mention the IP-68 rating doubles the phones water resistance. All that said, I didn't mind paying an extra $30 compared to my usual case (otterbox defender). I think it was a great buy.

Hello,

I'm currently experiencing a problem where my phone keeps rebooting about every 30 seconds after boot. I'm using the CM11 rom from the cyanogenmod website and have tried like 5 different roms. I am using cwm 6.0.4.8 and have been flashing stock Paranoid GAPP 4.4.2. I have been factory resetting, clearing cache, and dalvak before flashing any of the roms and still the problem persists. Can anyone help?

Thank you!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Try using TWRP by tdhite - it has better support for CM roms. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651035
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LameJae:
Thank you! Will try
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
By the way if you can't download the latest version, go to http://goo.im/devs/tdhite/twrp2 and click on the one that's 2.7.1.2.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] LameJae:
I got the TWRP recovery to work, but the problem persists. I tried flashing a bunch of different CM11 roms and none of them work. What am I doing wrong?...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Which one are you flashing? Could you link it please? The rebooting problem mainly occurs when you're flashing a GSM ROM on a CDMA device (like the Sprint HTC One M7)

If you're all out of options, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2503646 is a pretty surefire method of getting your device fixed up, although you might lose internal storage etc. as this is pretty much a factory reset but via flashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] saj1jr:
I had this problem as well. Turns out my SU Binary needed to be updated. Try updating that by going into SU and it should give you the option to update. That fixed the issue for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I'm sorry i had the wrong links and because of this i had miss information. So i formally apologize by updating with the proper links.

this first method doesn't work with the Sph-L710T or the Sph-L710 on NJ2/NJ3

First method: You can root the stock 4.4.2 ND8/NDC:laugh:

1st. Make sure your on 4.4.2 ND8 or NDC

2nd. Download Towel Root

3rd. Place Towel Root in sdcard or internal storage

4th. With any file manager find and install Towel Root

5th. Open Towel Root and well root

6th. Go to play store and download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en and also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en let super user update the binary

7th. Flash any recovery you want {personally i went with PhilZ Touch (this was before PhilZ had a root Option)}

8th. Enjoy your rooted stock 4.4.2 ND8/NDC

Down below is one more way too root Stock ND8/NDC/NJ2/NJ3 or NF4/OA3 (L710T) and basically any other update

(link to the almighty ODIN)

Second Method: mostly recommended

1st. Odin flash TWRP

2nd. In Odin choose PDA, PA or AP then select the TWRP Tar you just downloaded

3rd. Make sure Auto reboot is

unchecked

(also at this time your s3 should be in download mode)

4th. Hit start and let Odin let it finish!!

5th. Hold power button to turn off your S3, after it turns off about 10 seconds later it will turn back on to the battery charging screen so before that quickly hold Volume+ and Home, to boot into recovery

6th. now your in TWRP

7th. so to root your stock rom with TWRP flash the following file SuperSU.zip by Chain fire (pro tip. Install any other custom recovery the same way I did for TWRP above if it is in .tar format)

and here is Philz recovery for the D2Lte 6.48.4 ( which you must flash in TWRP)

and here is TWRP that was made specifically for the D2Rephersher/triband/L710T TWRP (which you must flash in a recovery)

Third method Most recent.

work on ND8 rom? sprint phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
i want to say yes but towel root does come with a warning that it might brick your device.....but i want to say yes since most things that can be done to the ND8 can be done to the NDC and also in reverse order.....so try it and report back it will be good to know if it works on both bootloaders :)

Sprint S3 Android 4.4.2 ND8-It works!

I just used this method to root my Sprint S3 running Android 4.4.2 and ND8, since my USB port is on the fritz, and it worked successfully. I have root, and was able to do a full apps backup with Titanium Backup, and gained root access in ES File Explorer. Next, download and install a custom backup. Thanks, great job, and could not have been made easier to do!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] henhun:

Rooted the phone in one click. Unfortunately, I lost all data (no 3G or 4G connection). Did I goof? I'm looking in the stickies and can't seem to find an answer. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
ND8 or NDC? have you tried updating your profile/PRL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] henhun:
Ya know. People keep talking about ND8 and ND___. I have no idea what that means. I know I should be embarrassed.

UPDATE: FIGURED IT OUT, BASEBAND VERSION. GOTCHA. IT IS NDC.

I was JUST coming back to update my post. I DID update the PRL and restarted my phone. That seems to have done the trick. Thank GOD I got my data connection back!! It worked. Even though I found the info somewhere else, thank you so much for the quick reply. PRL update fixes the problem. You're awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbnorton0524:
I used it before i had a custom recovery. And on reboot i wouldnt have root. After i ran it root checker told me i was rooted then reboot killed. I installed philz and all was ok
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
many users of basically the same phone report different things with every root method out there. If it worked for you that's great tell other users what you did for it to work and if it didn't work, then ask for help and you will get help; some people don't have success with any method while others do with all of the methods.....my phone falls under every method.....

Successful Towelroot on VM Galaxy S3 4.4.2.NDC

Straight forward, fast and easy. I did notice the following:

1) Updating binary reported it did not successfully install. I've seen this before on other devices, but everything worked well. Ext SD and Camera all OK. Everything works fine so far - Titanium, Nandroid, Root Browser, etc.

2) At one point, I was directed to install Busy Box. Having done this on other devices, I said "Yes" and installed it.

3) I see that my device now shows Device Status as Custom ( was Normal before, if I remember correctly). Is this due to Busy Box?

4) Is Device Status the only way to know the KNOX Status? I see no yellow triangle as I did on my Galaxy Reverb.

5) I got a Google warning to uninstall Towelroot since it is usafe and a security exploit. I understand that.

I would like to verify the KNOX status and if tripped in the Towelroot process, to let potential users know of that possibility.

Thank You! And thanks to everyone who has continued to work on keeping root free!

Dave
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Knox only notifies Samsung that your device isn't stock anymore not necessarily rooted like with a custom recovery and then flashed mods and what not but if you Odin the stock rom it resets the counters so Samsung will never know....and that i have noticed TowelRoot doesn't trip that counter.....only the recoveries and when you update the binary (<---completely forgot to fix that) you must hit the option normal not TWRP/CWM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkangels6sic6:
That's great news because same boat here. It worked on 4.3 as well.

I had the phone hacked before and something must not be fully stock so the Ota fails.

I downloaded a package and mobile odin should flash it properly and then I can root it with this again and install a nice modified TouchWiz rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
just a quick add on Mobile Odin and stock ND8/NDC don't mix at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dave260:
Knox Counter and "Device Status"

Thanks for your response. I may be over thinking these indicators. All I did was Towelroot, successfully. On the phone, the "About Device, Status" now says CUSTOM (was "Official"). The Knox counter according to app "Phone Info" shows Knox Counter at 0x0. As you said, since the counter is not tripped, should be no problem on warranty. So then Device Status CUSTOM is not a problem? I'm not really worried about warranty at this point, but I think I'll hold off further mods for another 6 moths.

Thanks again for your help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkangels6sic6:
Thanks. I tried the md8 and mk3 "mk3 is what it's on". Both just restart and get stuck on splash screen :/.

I have to go to download mode and and restart it that way to boot system back up.

Do you have any other suggestion. I'm not sure what part of the system is altered. It seems like a stock recovery and it's stock firmware "now rooted". Maybe the kernel.

I can't use USB at all.

I'm guessing maybe I should install twrp. Then install a stock zip or try out a 4.3 rom that way. I would like to get to md8 one way or another. Most md8 Roms want you to odin or flash an md8 base.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
cause they need the ND8 base to work as intended...my suggestion would be to get the usb port on your phone fixed but i don't know how expensive that will be
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkangels6sic6:
I was afraid you would say that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strangelady:
Holy crap. May I say, I am quite impressed. I never planned on rooting my S3 (I like it that much!) but this just looked so damn easy to do and it was!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Actually it was a car charger, was going to see if att could do something with it but when I pulled up to the store it was in the 'normal' download mode.

Edit: my guess is that download mode requires a certain battery level as it would possibly corrupt the flash memory severely if the power was shut off while flashing. But that is just a guess based on my phone being at a very low battery when I was stock in a fastboot loop. That is when the download mode was stock like yours.

Hey XDA,

I have the TouchPad of a friend here, the battery died 2 years ago and she wanted to get some files off of it now, so I replaced the battery and now it's asking me for a PIN which she of course doesn't know anymore. No problem, TouchPad Toolbox, mount the internal storage as USB-device and boom I have access to it. Now a lot of her stuff is there but I can't seem to find some text files she created in the stock text-app, I searched literally everywhere but I couldn't find any text-files.

Can you tell me how I can find those?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

edit:

If I could somehow change the PIN it would be a lot easier but I don't have the developer-mode enabled.

I flashed PA ROM and can't get location services to work at all. With Unsense Six ROM it works fine...anyone else with this problem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
With AOSP roms, you'll need to have location set to "high" on a stock rom before switching to PA or CM or any other AOSP rom. This might be the cause for location failure. Please flash a stock rom or a nandrod of a sense rom, set GPS to high, then flash any AOSP based rom.

Hi guys. I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue I am.

In no certain frequency, when I'm playing music through my Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker from the Google Play Music app, it will sometimes skip and speed up/change pitch. It seems to happen on both WiFi and LTE. Haven't noticed it through plugged-in headphones.

I also noticed it when I had an AT&T Galaxy S4 through a Logitech Bluetooth stereo adapter and a Creative D100 Bluetooth speaker using the same app - Google Play Music.

I had both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and never noticed it with either device.

All my devices have had the stock roms (non-rooted), and were always up to date. My Galaxy S5 is on Verizon. I haven't tried any music through the native music player app (such an mp3 or flac) but will update when I do.

Very annoying issue, especially for a musically sensitive person such as myself! I have sent multiple bug reports through the Google reporting process, and I guess I need to figure out how to send some to Samsung. Just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issues. Didn't see any other mentions of it on XDA. My apologies if there are similar posts on here and I didn't see them. Thanks!

Basically like pressy, except 1) more buttons and 2) you can put them anywhere nfc will register vs just in the jack.

I never cared for NFC before. I know some people make good use of tags, but there's usually an easier way for me to trigger whatever behavior I want. But I love buttons. I used to own an HTC Touch Pro2 with oh, 80 or so physical buttons. The keyboard was useful far beyond merely typing on. I used to read on the device with it open like a book and turned pages with the arrow keys. Far and away the most ergonomically comfortable ereading experience I ever used. For me, dimple means perfectly placed page turning buttons. I ordered two of the minis.
