[XDA Assist] Pawly87:
Hi folks.

I need a little help.

I rooted my Star N9599 MTK6589 to get rid of the malware that was recently reported on news sites. That went fine and I got the malware removed.

However I now want to try some different ROMs on the phone, but can't for the life of me get it to boot into recovery. It will show the jellybean jar image, reboot, then go ahead and load the current ROM.

After searching the forums for ways to boot into recovery(very useful, thanks for that)Here's what I've tried already

Power and volume up (most promising, it loads the jellybean image, looks as though its considering going into recovery but then simply reboots, repeats until volume + has been released, then boots up normally)

Power and volume - (takes me into factory mode)

Power, volume + and volume - (again takes me into factory mode)

Power and home (nothing)

Reboot into recovery via Rom Manager/CWM(same result as Power and volume +)

Reboot into recovery via Quick boot app (same result as power and volume +)

adb reboot recovery via adb (same result as power and volume+)

USB debugging is enabled, I've deactivated the fast boot optionon my phone as well.

I've read somewhere that some phones have been coded to reboot from recovery into standard boot automatically, same article advised that ADB should work around this but no such luck I'm afraid.

Any help or advice you could give would be greatly appriciated as I''m now reaching Phone vs Wall levels of frustration.

Thanks

There is no forum for your device on XDA. However, there is a pretty extensive thread [Q] Star N9599 MTK6589 Quad CoreWith S-Pen 5.7 Inch 720P HD Screen 3G Sma On Home	> General discussion	> Questions and Answers

There are devices which DO NOT come with a Recovery installed out of box. Yours could be such a case. At least that's what leads me to conclude with your experience. Now that does not mean you can't flash one. You can post in the above thread to see if anyone has flashed CWM Recovery for your phone. Since you have tried Rom Manager, it may have said there is a Recovery for your device.

[LG Optimus G Pro] metromicon:
Recently I bought an Lg Optimus G Pro from aliexpress.

In phone identity and antutu is shown that i have a e988, but on the body incripts under battery cover is written e980...

IMEI is the same.3G works, LTE didn't tried.

How it is possibile, could it be from a firmware changing or it have been changed a tehnical detail of the phone.

thank you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
it's an E980 with the E988 firmware. you can flash the stock att rom if you wish.
[Galaxy Note II General] ipsuvedi:
Yesss!!!! the much awaited feature is not so far from us. You can Knock or Tap the screen to turn off and tap again to wake the device.

This trick is much useful and easy than our old method....waiting the screen to be auto off and then tapping to wake. In fact, It gives you real T2W and KnockKnock feeling!

And this as easy as 123. It needs only two things

Nadia kernel + Drketan's rom.

To make this trick work, You need just:

0. Rooted Note 2 device ( n7100)

1. DrKetan's Rom v7.3 or higher

2. Nadia kernel v r3 or higher

3. Little peace of mind ;)

* While flashing Dr Ketan's rom (v7.3 or v8) in Aroma dont forget to select battery mod with tap function (on the upper corner) to turn of screen, this may not work if you select stock battery mod or other...flash the rom!

* Flash Nadia kernel r3 or 4 or higher

* In Trickster mod (this comes with kernel): Click upper left 3 dot menu to select Specific setting, there turn the s2w/t2w feature On.

***** And now the Knock-Knock or S2W is here ****

@ TO KNOCK OFF - tap at upper right corner of the status bar near Clock.

@ TO KNOCK ON - Tap anywhere on Screen

++++++++++Enjoy!!!!+++++++++++

Any credits goes to:-

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] for his amazing AIO Rom

[MENTION=4824728]Pafcholini[/MENTION] for his and his team's Superb kernal

Note: this is not a hardware implemented original KnockOn, but its really almost same trick.

And Please.....

(please dont forget to click ( :thumbup: ) 'thanks' if you like this or if you find this info useful)
[Galaxy Note II General] niyazidk:
LTE model..!
[Galaxy Note II General] ipsuvedi:
Unfortunately currently not supported with this method.

Howevwr if your LTE model has a rom with tap (on statusbar) to sleep feature, and a kernel with t2w feature then then this method will apply there as well.

But for now this trick is for n7100
[Galaxy Note II General] ipsuvedi:
Currently only for n7100
[Galaxy Note II General] JedNote2:
Does this have a limited time to tap to wake up? or you tap 2 wake it anytime that you want?
[Galaxy Note II General] ipsuvedi:
Currently it is supported for 120 seconds

Which is good time duration considering the battery...because this function (even original KnockOn and KnockKnock) increases battery cunsumption.

So 45-60 sec duration is recomended and most usefull considering battery and usability
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Alternative method for others who want this feature is to use Double tap to sleep xposed module.

And to wake it up you can use the touch wake feature of any kernel.

In that way you can have knock on and knock off kind of functionality for every device.

I am somewhat experienced with the whole rooting flashing scene...I am wondering why nadia r7 won't flash over ketans 4.4.2 rom on my n7100. Using twrp latest version. I flash nadia and reboot .the Samsung note 2 screen comes up and then darkness. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Anybody know where I can get different colored straps for the Gear 2? Ideally, I'd like to have one strap that has a place to input an RGB combo and it outputs that color, but I doubt something like that exists :P

Closest I see is this: http://www.clockworksynergy.com/sho...acement-watch-strap/divers-rubber-watch-band/ They also come in a set of 12 for about $100.

Any other options out there?

Hey Guys, i am facing charging problem with my GS3. The problem is it charges sometimes at 600mah, sometimes 700mah, sometimes 900 mah, sometimes even goes down to 100mah. I have already changed the wire, the adaptor (all gs3 originial) but the results comes out to be same. The only thing not tried is the Battery! Anyone got this problem? should i get a new battery? need ur help guys and REMEMEBR XDA ROCKS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If your battery is older than six months then change that first. Original gs3 charger is the worst, get an older Samsung one piece instead.

To get your GPS working download these files GPS Fix and put them on your SD Card.

Then open File Manager (if you have it get one from the playstore) go to Settings -> General Settings, scroll a bit till you get to Access mode. Click it and choose Root Access Mode wait a bit and a window will show asking you for a root permission, choose remember always and click allow.

Then go back to the File Manager and navigate to the SD card and find the files u downloaded a moment ago, mark them and click on the little blue box with a circle inside in the upper left corner it will open a side menu, choose Root Folder , navigate to ETC , after click on the 8 dots that are located in the left down corner and choose move selection here.

Look for the GPS.conf file, place your finger and hold till options windows shows up, choose Properties and then Permissions.

In Permissions you have to choose under Owner you should have ticked only R and W, in Group only R, and in others only R, untick everything else.

Click ok, and search for SuplRootCert, and again do the same thing with permissions.

Reboot your device after that.

Then go to play store and download GPS Status & Toolbox .

Make sure you have turned on location from settings.

Get out from your house so you have a clear view to the sky and wait with the app opened for several minutes.

I tested this on my old Wildfire S and it works. You have to wait quite a bit the first time( like 10mins or so), but after that it works with no problems.

Hope i helped! :)

LG G2 D802 Three (H3G) KK 4.4.2

Hi all, I've checked out this forum and also watched a few videos. I've tried the volume down + power until the LG logo appears and then release and re-press them but all that happens is that the phone powers off after the second press after about 10 seconds. The volumes buttons work fine. There's clearly a trick to this but after about 20 attempts, it has be beaten! Any clues to the magic sequence needed?

TIA

EDIT: Yes, I can get into download mode no problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
when the lg logo appears try releasing power and volume down and then pressing volume up instead
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Thanks for the reply.

If I just use volume up after the LG logo, the phone reboots normally. If I do a power + volume up after the LG logo, it just powers off after 10 seconds.

In fact every test shows the phone to behave exactly as if the volume up and down buttons have been disabled during boot up.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Tried a few times again - no recovery. :( Maybe it's something that has been blocked in the stock KK OTA update?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
I think what he meant is when phone powered off, press volume down+power and when you see lg logo press volume up+down don't touch power

Sent from my potato powered LG G3 D800
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Update: I can get into recovery using adb. Maybe H3G have disabled getting into recovery via the hardware buttons only leaving download mode available. Bit of an odd thing to do though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
D'oh! That was about the only combo that I didn't try. Yes - it works. Many thanks to both for the help. Just curious: this alternative key combo I didn't find anywhere; is it something some carriers have done to their phone? (Or did I just not search hard enough? ;) )
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
lg changed the combination when they started releasing the knock code update, I have no idea why but now it just means some people need to use volume down+power while others have to use volume up+down it just creates more trouble for us(people who help others) because if people don't mention whether they have knock code update or not we just have to guess what update they are on

So I'm going to bite the bullet and go to KK from JB.

Once I've KK'd my phone I'll put a custom rom in it.

knox is tripped and I'm rooted.

Will I need to unlock the bootloader once flashed?

Also getting a bit confused as to which is latest stock firmware for my SM-N9005?

Been googling and I have a ND3 and a ND6 versions?

But then I google more and get NE and a NF versions?

Phone is the european version originally on vodafone.

Don't suppose it really matters as I'll be going to a custom rom but would like to start from the latest in case I don't like any of the available custom roms as yet.........

Thanks for any help you provide :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
no-one knows the latest international european stock rom version?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
AFAIK there isn't a "European" version per se, different ROMs for different areas/countries.

Go to samfirmware.com and check by date released.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraken77:
Go to sam mobile NF is current latest version but you can go for NE version. European Version doesn't really matter just download appropriate file for your Vodafone firmware . Here is the link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29534 (ND3)

You can try the NF version(Latest) also if you want to even not for Vodafone stated on the Website but before you flash, make sure to tick the update bootloader because you are still on JB firmware. Then you can try any of Custom Roms available on Android Development Section.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
UK latest is April but there's many more after

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
Is it PDA or CSC that indicates latest?

I know the HK roms are for 16gb phones although I think someone has a 'fix' for int 32gb versions.

Although the NF version is for the 900T I think it can be flashed to the int9005?

Damn Samsung and their knox tripping
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraken77:
Mate, if there are no NF available for N9005 then dont flash it. You have and and you must download only the correct version of firmware that is sm-n9005. PDA is the one that indicate the latest. In sammobile website the latest version for N9005 is NE so you have to go for NE for the latest version. I have no idea if NF1 is flashable on european 32Gb cause of rumors and what not that will brick the phone, and to be safe just download the NE firmware. :good:

Hello,

Awesome XDA developers. I am seriously in need for some helping hands for my Tablet PC. I have got a China Octa Core 7 inch tablet pc with WUXGA display, MT6592 Octa Core processor, 2GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, Android 4.2.2 OS , 13.3 MP REAR CAMERA, 5.3 MP front camera etc.

So far the tablet is so good with Android 4.2.2 OS. The china company recently gave me an updated ROM for the tablet PC. The update includes Android 4.4.2 OS. I installed the firmware with SP Flash tool 5.5. After installing the OS, I was very happy to enjoy KiTkaT. Every thing were perfect.

Except one strange problem I am facing with Android 4.4.2 KiTkaT upgrade. I can take photos in 13.3 MP high resolution with the rear camera. But when I record videos with "Fine" recording mode or any other modes (low, medium high or fine), the video gets recorded in 640x480 low resolution only. I tried every camera settings did not work. I also check the "build.prop" settings & "camerasize.xml" settings. But nothing worked. For both the front (5.3 MP) and rear camera (13.3 MP) records videos in 640x480 low resolution where as the same camera take photos in 5.5 MP (Front Cam) & 13.3 MP (Rear Cam) resolutions.

But for Android 4.2.2 OS, both the cameras could record videos with 1920x1088 resolution when you choose "Fine" as the video recording mode. I am a beginner level developer. I can not get anything to fix the problems.

Can the XDA forum experts help me with this miserable problems. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Please help. :crying::crying::crying:
