[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichMD:
Not everyone using the SIII and flashing the zip had a brick. I believe it has to do with the boot-loader version you are using. Different versions work when using this ROM but there's a possibility that maybe the official 4.3 boot-loader would brick your phone if you flash a 4.4 modem. Again, just guessing at this point since I don't have the time to investigate further. Just an FYI to others that even if some of us successfully flash a given modem zip that to be careful unless you know it works with your boot-loader, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Good deal. I can confirm that all seems well with the MK6 bootloader and the new NE5 modem. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Dumb question, what would flashing the new modem do? I'm using this Rom right now and it's awesome! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichMD:
A newer modem sometimes helps with better cell signal, GPS, etc. I've flashed them MANY times in the past on various phones and "thought" it was a very safe thing to do since the worst case scenario would be rebooting into recovery and flashing a different one. Since Samsung introduced KNOX, that is not necessarily the case anymore and newer android versions come out, etc.

Edit: I'm hoping that I'm wrong about this being possible on our phones but I would hate to have people hard brick their phones where even JTAG doesn't fully recover it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
don't flash the new modem yet. could brick your phone, reports say....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Though things were ok for me with the new modem, I saw some other reports in other threads as well, so I flashed back to the MK6 modem for now to be on the safer side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] beastonprowl:
Flashed the new modem working fine here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
I took the 4.4 2 update from AT&T rooted then pulled and shared the modem, then I flashed dn3 v5.2 port I made which had mk6 modem in it, then I flashed the 4.4.2 modem and it booted perfectly all on 4.4.2. bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Samsung is really starting to annoy me lately. ..

You know dang well those coders are attacking the group that likes to modify their phones. ..imho...by allowing a modem brick ???

Geeze guys...seriously ???

This will be my last Samsung device. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichMD:
Is there a new 4.4.2 bootloader out or do you mean the official 4.3 bootloader? I'm using the leaked 4.3 (MJ4 if I remember correct). If there is a 4.4.2, is there any reason to update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
New 4.4.2 bootloader it's being over the aired to AT&T Note 2's now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichMD:
Thanks,

Do you know if you can ever run anything below 4.4 now? I assume you still have root - correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
So far I know I had to re root just used Odin 3.09 and had auto reboot not checked while flashing philz touch recovery. After the flash I power off phone and booted into philz touch and flashed update supetSU zip to root my phone. Haven't checked on lower firmware models yet my guess is no unless no bootloader is present, custom roms not sure either as I just re flashed my port of dn3 v5.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I have 4.3 loader and I flashed it the new modem. Good to go here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Think I'll hold off on flashing loaders and modems for now...the S3 forums are a bit ugly with brick talk...

Not that we will fall victim to it...but until the devs have a little time to play..I'm leaving it be....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atmos929:
Hello. I am giving this ROM a shot, so I thought about sharing my findings. I have a i317m from Telcel (Mexico), I usually flash t0lte and t0lteatt roms with no problems. I a using Philz latest recovery:

* flashing just the ROM boots up perfectly, only WiFi doesn't work. Camera also works (tested other kitkat TW ROM where it did not).

* TW AGNI kernel works, WiFi works but camera doesn't :(.

* Tried flashing DEVIL kernel, doesn't go past kernel splashcreen.

So, that's it, can't really disregard either camera or WiFi... may I ask what kernel is it used in this ROM? :)... other than this... ROM feels amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Stock kernel with modification. If you have the older bootloader WiFi would need agni. I have no idea any the camera wouldn't work. I've used it in any agni... Maybe wipe app data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atmos929:
yeah, I had wiped data on both camera and gallery apps but didn't work, that trick used to work on some ROMs back in JB. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Binary_File:
Does anyone have the bootloader from NF1 build? I already have the 4.3 bootloader with knox counter and want to upgrade to KitKat BL. I just want the bootloader because I don't want to lose my custom ROM flashing full firmware via odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Is that the new att BL or the one from Canada? I have the Canada one but you will be FLASHING AT YOUR OWN RISK. I can upload it tonight. Believe you'll have to use Odin from the PC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Binary_File:
Yes, I need canadian BL. Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] farmercyst:
Awwsome rom so far! Nice job. Something interesting I found, sorry if it has been mentioned. I have a zip I flash after I install aosp roms to install/update various things. It updated my build prop to the galaxy nexus info. When the phone booted, the theme changed! I thought I accidentally flashed the wrong file. I'll add some screenshots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
What extra file did you flash ??

If ya don't mind telling...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] farmercyst:
Dont mind at all. I will attach it. It's something I put together really quick when I was using omni rom and updating all the time. I use rsync and ssh to backup my sdcards nightly to a local server.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Just thought I would give an update. Been really busy but started working on this again today. I will update sometime soon, just not sure exactly when yet. Working on several things when I have free time including a custom kernel built in from source
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] def-g:
Ridiculously FAST and SMOOTH. On the next update can you add a Data widget in quick settings. Otherwise AWSOME work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Sorry man I haven't forgot. Pm me later if a haven't sent it to you yet

Can you post a screenshot of where you want this? You mean in the notification pull down?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] karlkarloff:
So I have been running this ROM for a while now, and it is by far the smoothest and nicest I've tried. Something I have noticed over the last couple days, it seems to indicate what network (4G, LTE, etc.) much more accurately than the previous ROMs, including straight stock. So that is a nice bonus. If you are reading this and trying to decide if you should give it a test drive, just go for it. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Appreciate the feedback. Thanks ??

I am getting a damaged SD card notification when just yesterday everything was fine, philz recovery still reads it fine and I am using the agni kernel, up until taking a couple videos and pictures yesterday it failed and doesn't want to come back, I've tried flashing the SD write enabler, clearing caches, any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I have not had this issue and I use agni sometimes myself. Anybody else with these issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Negative...no issue like this....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
no issues here either been running this monster for a week. Only issue I have is when trying to download a torrent via utorrent to my external it will not work. So I just download to my internal and copy over.

Have you tried to unmount the sd card then remount? or unmount then pop it into a windows machine to see if it picks it up? Chkdsk is a great tool for fixing drive issues in Windows. Never actually used it for an sd card but I would assume the same applies there. Its fixed multiple hard drives for me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_el_camino:
I'll try to keep it short and keep a clear overview.

I rooted my Nexus 5 with the Towelroot app. Everything went perfectly fine (I had to do a recovery, but after that, Nexus running smooth and it was rooted.

Then I decided to try something stupid. Alter the Nfcnci.apk so that the NFC TAG scanning app was silent instead of the end.ogg noise when scanning a NFC tag.

It all went wrong when I merged the unpacked .apk files back into a .rar and convert it to a .apk with "formatter" program.

When I tried to put the NfcNci.apk app back in the system/app folder with authorisation 664 it didn't work anymore. the stock app crashed.

The nfc part of my phone wasn't working anymore ! (when opening NFC tools, i got a NFC ERROR message... apparently, i did something wrong when trying to replace the app with my modded version)

So i did the most stupid thing I could have done: instead of putting the original NfcNci.apk file back into the system/app folder I did a hard reset recovery (go into Recovery mode, wipe data)............

Now, with my freshly recovered nexus 5..... I CAN'T GO INTO SETTINGS to turn on USB debugging (because I clearly wanted to put the original 4.4.3 image back on my phone)

so i'm stuck with a phone that :

1) is rooted.

2) doesn't go into settings so I can't turn on USB debugging

3) doesn't go onto the app store because i can't link my google account because i can't go into Settings.

4) is actualy a dumbphone now. The only thing I can do is use stock apps and call and text someone.

Could someone PLEASE put me out of my misery?

i'm litteraly crying here. I had this phone for 2 weeks.....

I want to unroot the damn thing and go back to the way it was....

Best regards,

Tom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
1) questions go into the Q&A forum.

2) you shouldnt mod stuff when you're not sure what you are doing

3) factory reset in recovery does not fix any mods you have made to /system, it only wipes data.

4) follow this to go back to stock: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
Fastboot doesn't need usb debugging on. Flash the stock files with fasboot. You will get back to stock but ur data will get erase.

or simply just flash the system.img which won't erase ur data

fastboot flash system system.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Yup, just pull the stock factory image from Google developers website and unpack it. Put system.img into your fastboot directory. Use CMD (assuming you're on Windows) and CD to that location and fastboot flash system system.img, like he said.

If you have trouble with fastboot follow the first link given to you. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_el_camino:
thanks

Thank you all very much for your help.

I managed to put the stock img back to my phone.

the problem was that my phone wasn't unlocked, therefore I couldn't enter the fastboot command lines.

Phone is back to stock 4.4.3.

[MENTION=3877185]Zepius[/MENTION] you are right, you shouldn't mod stuff if you don't know what you are doing, but you do have to go through a learning process... you also had to do it for the first time once, right?

I think my big mistake was, not to follow the amazing guides here in XDA on how to root, change apk's etc etc...

one more question. IF you take a stock app (NfcNci.apk) do you have to sign it to be able to get it to work?

All i wanted to do was unpack the apk, change a sound file and repack it so that the darn NFC tag doesn't make that sound when I scan a tag, waking up my wife when i put it to sleep mode...

well, guess i'll hang the tag somewhere outside of our room ;)

again, thank you all for your help and not bashing me.

Tom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Don't sign system apps, just take the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder out of the original .apk, open the modified one with 7zip or your alternative and paste it in.
[General Accessories] GamerXavier:
I have noticed Samsung came out with a camera phone in a more literal sense. But, I'm curious as to why the custom lenses are not a more popular item? Being able to change out the lens on my phone as I need to would add a huge level of customization and not too mention make the companies more money. Especially for well made premium lenses.

We've all seen the clips and attachments on Amazon or other websites. But, none of them are really thought out well. The clip moves around easily. The cases are ugly and useless for anyone who wants a protective case.

A lot of the lenses have defects even if they are small. Sure these items are cheap. But, that is my point. I spent some time looking and always got sent back to these ones. There's no higher end models nothing. I'd assume that would be because this idea is perceived as gimmicky. But, it's really not. Give me the ability to take a small plastic ring off my phone around the camera and attach my own custom lenses. You could charge oodles for higher tier lenses too.

Would reduce all the stuff I have to carry around with me everywhere for my camera.

Any thoughts as to why they don't support or carry their own custom lenses? The camera being an important feature for many of us on our phones. An improvement/addition like this I cannot see anything but perks of.
[General Accessories] faizm26:
you should check sony qx10 and qx100
[General Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
Either you have to carry your phone in a case with the lens attached, or take it out of your pocket and put on a lens each time you want to use it. Much easier to use a zoom-enabled digital camera, and the quality of photos is between better and much better. I always wondered why are they even produced. Yeah, I use my phone camera once in a while, but if I care enough to take a photo, I have a Canon rebel.

[Kindle Fire General] Kafluke:
All attempts that I have made to root this Kindle Fire on 6.3.3 have failed. KFU fails. Towelroot fails. Nothin.
[Kindle Fire General] Kafluke:
Ok so I was at least able to use a factory cable to put the kindle into fastboot mode. After that I was able to flash FFF and TWRP and then flash a stock 6.3.2 Rom which is rootable.

Also you can install custom rom from this point. Not exactly succeeding and rooting stock 6.3.3 but its a start.
[Kindle Fire General] jblindy:
Please post steps in flashing firmware 6.3.2. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go back though, because I reset to factory settings before I realized that the firmware had updated.
[Kindle Fire General] overground:
So how are you preventing it from taking another OTA of 6.3.3?
[Kindle Fire General] ericskyman:
has anyone figured out the root for kindle fire on 6.3.3
[Kindle Fire General] Kafluke:
Here's what I did:

1. Download stock firmware 6.3.2 (latest KFU will get it for you)

2. Copy stock firmware to internal storage on Kindle Fire (boot up Kindle Fire and plug into your computer)

3. Download TWRP 2.2.2.1 from here. (thanks sd_shadow).

4. Download latest FFF using KFU

5. Put TWRP and FFF into a folder on your computer that contains fastboot.exe

6. Make a factory cable (google "make Motorola factory usb cable") or you can buy a premade one or an adapter. Here's an example.

7. Turn off your Kindle fire and unplug it from your computer.

8. Plug one end or your factory cable into your computer.

9. Open a windows command prompt from the folder with fastboot.exe in it.

10. While the Kindle Fire is turned off, plug in the other end of your factory cable into the Kindle fire. This should throw the KF into fastboot mode.

If you have created the factory cable correctly you should see the red Kindle screen but it should stay there and you should get a new driver install notification in Windows. Install the driver for the Kindle Fire bootloader.

11. From your Windows command prompt run these commands (substituting the names for whatever your TWRP and FFF files are called)

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Now you should see the FireFireFire blue screen and you can push the power button to boot into TWRP. From TWRP you can wipe everything and install the 6.3.2 file you placed on the Kindle Fire earlier (if you want to flash a KitKat ROM like CM11 or others then you must re flash recovery with latest TWRP from here). After you are using 6.3.2 you can run latest KFU and it will work just fine.

I don't know how to prevent it. Maybe its best to just flash CM11 on it.
[Kindle Fire General] jblindy:
Cool.....thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
Unless newest Twrp is different, only Twrp 2.2.2.1 or lower can install stock kindle firmware. Other TWRP versions will bootloop the Kindle Fire, and Twrp will need to be flashed in bootloader
[Kindle Fire General] Thepooch:
Correct or cannibal open touch recovery but it won`t flash Kit Kat.
[Kindle Fire General] Kafluke:
Well, whatever KFU .99 downloaded, that's what I flashed. And it worked. I don't have the Kindle anymore to check TWRP version .

I don't want anyone bricking their fire because of my steps though. I'll edit the post. Thanks sd_shadow!
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
KFU will download latest twrp the first time you select install twrp, after that will install same version, and will not check for update, unless you remove twrp.IMG from folder.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
Has OTA root keeper been tried? Voodoo or Superuser option. It needs to be backed up before update is installed

need help with a stock 6.3.3

Ever since my wife asked me to try to root her stock 1st generation Kindle Fire (currently running 6.3.3), I have had a hell of a time trying to get this thing rooted. I will also admit that I am a relative newbie when it comes to rooting devices. I am perfectly comfortable doing a few tweaks here and there, even through using command-line tools, but this is my first attempt at trying to root a device. I have both my MacBook Pro OSX (Mavericks) laptop and my Windows 7 desktop at my disposal, but I have only been able to make limited progress in rooting the KF.

I have used a number of tools (which I realize are mostly variants of one another): Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9, RootKindleFire631 (from RootKindleFire.com), Breakdroid, and KindleFireRootMacLinux (which basically uses the ZergRush method). All to no avail. The most common error that I get is "Couldn't write bp1, panic". Hope this helps some developers out there to finally find a feasible rooting method for this one.

Curse you, Amazon, you may have won this round, but the war is far from over!
