Hello Pat

So your boot loader is locked because of VRUCNC1

You can only use safestrap now to flash custom Touchwiz 4.3 roms now

You need to download the ML1 to flash in odin

After you flash in odin you have to boot back to your rom then use towelroot to root your device

After you root then you want to run safestrap

That's what I was afraid of. Oh well. This is still an awesome phone just the way it is. I can put up with it until my next upgrade in January. Maybe somebody will come out with a way of putting 4,42 on this phone.

Hopefully somebody will unlock the boot loader so we can truly load custom roms

I bet Geohot could. That guy is a beast. After what he did with the PS3 I don't doubt him anymore :D if you don't know he is the creator of Towelroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
I know about Geohot and towelroot, I follow almost everything in the GS3 and GS5 forums. Not denying his obvious skill. But consider that the GS3, GS4, and GS5 are all locked down in the same way, and the GS4 has been locked down for over a year despite an ongoing bounty thread and several devs trying to unlock it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
I unrooted with Universal Unroot and had the exact same issue. Rootchecker said it was unrooted, but TiBu still had root access and the custom lock still appeared.

I then got the famous 402 failure on the update.

I'm still on 4.1.2, so now I'm wondering if I can unroot with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and take all the updates?? And just re-root with towelroot once I'm on 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pat E.:
You might be better off installing a custom ROM. I locked my Bootloader with the NC1 Update and no longer have that option. Post your phone's info like my info above and a resident expert will advise you what's best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Just so you know any root app on your phone will still think it has root access until

you go into your superuser app and tell it to forget your root apps. You really did unroot properly. You can trust Root Checker.

Also the custom lock still appears because you have not reset your custom binary. Use triangle away to rest that and the custom lock icon will go away. You must have root access to use triangle way.

So Reroot. Use triangle away to rest your flash counter. Reboot. Tell SuperUser to forget it's apps. Unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Thanks so much, I'll certainly give it a go. I've never flashed though and I've read that triangle away doesn't fix the custom lock button. I'm on the last few months on this phone, don't mind getting locked down.

Well, triangle away took care of the custom lock icon, but same 402 failure on the update again. Not sure what it is.... I'll try to post some phone info tonight.

Go to /data/fota. The update file and a log should be in that folder. Post the log here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Where is /etc/fota?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Sorry I meant /data/fota. You must use a root file explorer to go to the root of your device

Please do not copy the log in a post. Use pastebin

Like this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
it's empty.

no log file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
The data/fota folder is empty??? Not even an update file?

You do have root access right? Granted the app root?

Run the update again. Wait for it to error out. Check for log again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Okay, will do it when I get home...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Pretty sure you mean to have them look in: /cache/fota
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
no log file there either.... going to go through the rigamaroo again and see what comes up.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Failed again, no log file again. Any where else it would be? What would the file be called?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes that would be it. I had a brain fart :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It would include "log" in the name. It's either /cache or /cache/fota. Make sure that "show hidden files" is enabled in your file browser as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
the only "log" file is "last_log" in cache/recovery but it won't let me open it, send it, nothing.

That's it.

No other files with the word log in data/ or cache/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Since my microUSB is dead, I'm thinking my only option now is to mobileODIN to either 4.1.2 or 4.3, and then take the updates (assuming this would work). Though, unrooting, factory resetting to 4.1.2 never helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
yes. You can use mobile Odin. Keep in Mindthough to use mobile odin you must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader. Odining to 4.1.2 should do the trick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Yep. I don't see any other way, except maybe trying Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to get to 4.3, then staying unrooted and going to 4.4.

Or, mobileODIN a clean 4.4 when it's released on the boards

Or, ride out rooted 4.1.2 for the next few months and then leave Samsung for good.

Great options.

;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I just want to mak esure you know that once you go to 4.3 or 4.4 you will be on a locked bootloader forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
of course, but keep in mind... "forever" is 3 months for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pat E.:
Did the other carriers lock the bootloader or just Verizon? I don't know if I'm disappointed with Verizon or Samsung or both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:
Not sure but I think all the carriers didn't lock it but vzw and Samsung
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Verizon and AT&T are locked down. The T-Mobile variant has an unlocked bootloader. Don't know about Sprint and US Cellular.

Google announces Android 'L Preview'

​

At the Google I/O keynote presentation in San Francisco today, Android chief Sundar Pichai and Matias Duarte have revealed the next version of the mobile OS. Say hello to the new version of Android, known right now as simply the "L Preview."

The Android L Preview is based on the design idea of "Material Design" — the idea that pixels and interface elements react to your touch in an intuitive way, like you'd expect materials to in the real world. Developers can define depth and motion in their apps to respond the way they want them to when users interact with the interface.

The interface of the L Preview is flatter overall in individual elements, but the interface as a whole shows off more depth, bringing important elements "forward" to the front of the interface, with other less-important elements fading to the back. Buttons have more subtle animations and uses of bold colors to give a "fresh user experience."

Matias Duarte says that the new release of Android will include over 5000 new APIs, and will be available for attendees of Google I/O to use on development devices later today.

Follow our live coverage of the new Android version, and the rest of today's keynote announcements, in our Google I/O keynote liveblog. We'll update this story with more info as it becomes available, so stay tuned!

So is Moto G developer phone?
[Moto G General] asdcxz1:
tomorrow it will be for nexus 5 and 7
[Moto G General] apelamod:
Ok so only for those. Is it possible to port for Moto G?
[Moto G General] marcuspereira:
Android One is dual sim and will run stock Android L, right?

I hope this means that Android will now support dual sim by default.
[Moto G General] siddharthnair96:
I really doubt that
[Moto G General] MufcTK:
What do you guys think will Moto G ever get this update?
[Moto G General] burak144:
it isn't a developer phone as I know. but it's easy to port it from N5.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

we surely get it officially as moto g is in gpe program.
[Moto G General] apelamod:
I like to test it. Maybe someone port it for us.
[Moto G General] MufcTK:
Sorry but I'm not that familiar with gpe devices. So you are saying that all moto g's what ever their model number is will get the update or only the gpe devices?
[Moto G General] burak144:
all variants will get it. but gpe will get it first than xt1032, xt1034 will get and at last xt1033 will get it I think.
[Moto G General] MufcTK:
Thanks man that's great news!! This really looks amazing!
[Moto G General] burak144:
yeah it really look amazing! I'm very excited about it. can't wait to receive it.
[Moto G General] asdcxz1:
It will get the update .. But we don't have developer previews to our model
[Moto G General] scottharris4:
Can't wait for Android L, and to get a Chrome Book, an Android Wear device, and Android TV. Would be excited about Android Auto too if I used data and drove more than ~ 2000 miles a year.
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
GPe doesn't always get it first. The xt1032 got 4.4.3 before the Moto G GPe. Motorola is pretty fast at updating their devices and Google is giving them a long lead time to get it working as it will not be released until the Fall.
[Moto G General] jurad1981:
even as moto g will not get official update, will surely be of paranoidandroid. I hope so :)

[Moto G General] Dadud:
dont forget the XT1028, probably 2-4 months after everyone else though.
[Moto G General] Stramondroid:
Pretty sure this will only be Nexus branded (late model) devices for preview. As it states, its a 'Developer' preview. Moto G, is NOT a development device. Kudos to us that carry nexus 5's and 7's :)
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
The Moto G will certainly get the L update this fall. Motorola has already committed to it publicly.
[Moto G General] :
'L' looks awesome and I can't wait for it to be released but I have two questions about it. (A) is there still color emoji on the os ? (B) will xposed work on L ?
[Moto G General] Shahan_mik3:
I suggest you to ask the question after it releases officially..... Since the preview will most probably be in development mode and hence buggy :)
[Moto G General] :
OK :)) I'm just eager to know
[Moto G General] jurad1981:
where you read it. some link?

Motorola has said numerous times that the Moto G and will get the next major version of Android.

[Moto G General] :
are you sure that wasn't the KitKat update
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
No. They said this recently. I updated my post with a link to them announcing L for the G and X. But they should announce it for the Moto E as well since they said it would receive the next major update as well.
[Moto G General] :
ah right ok

I really want to start messing with material design, and i'm sure even an alph port for the moto g will be faster than the android emulator.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDarkM@n:
is possible to have CyanogenMod or AOKP keyboard on Paranoid?

for instance this: that with double functions

on other ROM I install LatinIME.apk extracted from cm11 or last AOKP nightly, or on purity I replaced the LatinIME.apk with a file explorer and root permissions, but with Paranoid I can't, always crashes

SOLUTION (Post #5)​

someone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDarkM@n:
Please no one?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Try removing the original keyboard completely, reboot then try installing the desired one as a user app
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDarkM@n:
I tried but nothing, the problem are the Gapps, i use PA Google Stock Package, and, i don't know why, the google keyboard goes in conflict with AOPS keyboard, also removing completly the google keyboard...

Here's my solution :

Flash last Paranoid

install FULL MODULAR PACKAGE Paranoid Gapps

Or if you want the same result as installing the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE:

With last Paranoid install the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE

but with an advanced feature, remove Stock/AOSP Launcher, MMS App, Browser and Pico TTS, create a file called .gapps-stock and put it in /sdcard/ with this content

launcher
mms
browser
pico

(source)

then install Google Camera Addon Module (for 4.4.4 here)

Finally remove completely AOPS Keyboard and install a

LatinIME.apk

extracted from last CM or AOKP ROM.

This is the result:

LatinIME.apk

is in \system\app\ of any ROM, i tried CM and AOKP Keyboard, I use that AOKP only because it takes up less memory, i don't know what change between the two.

Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian, some moderator can be edit this steps if they can be of help to someone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bobkoure:
Hey all,

I've got a new-to-me TF700. Got CROMBi-KK installed, which took some backflips as I could not get fastboot connectivity.

I'd like to be setup for NvFlash (but then never need it), so even though I don't need fastboot right now, I'm feeling the lack.

Data transfer works fine.

ADB (not fastboot) works fine (adb shell gets me a shell, etc, etc)

When I put the phone in fastboot/bootloader "fastboot devices" gets an empty response "fastboot reboot" gets no response.

In Win7 device manager, the TF700, which appears in the "portable devices" section normally when I plug it in, does not appear.

So... probably device drivers.

Have you had this problem on your w7/64 box? How did you fix it? Sorry, but "install linux" isn't all that helpful.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bobkoure:
From a semi-related question I'd asked, berndblb mentioned

Yep, I get an "unknown device" in the USB section when I connect a TF700 in fastboot. Win can't find an appropriate driver. I've tried (manually)

ASUS_Android_USB_Drivers

and

Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72

(both, AFAIR, from the xda tf700 forums). Neither worked.

So... if you got this going, what driver did you use? Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have a Win7 32 bit laptop and this cool little tool installed the drivers for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
[Asus Transformer TF700] bobkoure:
I'd installed that previously (easiest way to setup fastboot). Re-downloaded, re-installed. Went fine. Still no fastboot.

Unzipped the exe, looked at the drivers being installed - labeled "google". No google driver in the driver cache (so no device ever associated with it.)

Looked at the driver error again. Code 43. That means hardware or driver. I'd been taking it to mean driver, but... switched the USB cable to a port in the rear of the PC - and it worked.

Thanks!

So, for anybody with a similar issue, install the package above. If that doesn't work, maybe try a different USB port.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _kr0z:
Hey there. I noticed that two of my friends with Nexus 5s have a different looking screen compared to mine. Specifically I notice this when I pull down the notification shade and instead of showing a dark black, theirs show a washed out grey. I really want to know what is going on here because I need to return my phone for a couple issues, phone calls cutting in and out, I believe on of the speakers is blown, and the volume toggle indicator wont show itself moving up and down sometimes. I am concerned though, because I really really dont want to get a phone with the washed out greys again like I had with the Nexus 4. My Nexus 5 is NOT rooted and neither are the two phones which my friends own(the ones with the washed out grey as opposed to the dark black).

Anyways, thanks for your time.

I hope to get this answered shortly.

There are different variables of screen, we discovered this when franco made his kernel colour tunable as people were making profiles that would give perfect 2.2 gamma for some yet be miles out all over the show for others
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
The majority (all?) of Nexus 5 screens appear to be considerably more yellow then they were originally. Just about every person who's had their device replacement side by side with their original one have agreed the new one has yellowed whites in comparison. This could cause duller looking colours and grayish blacks.

Does it go away as the "glue dries"? Perhaps. Most likely upon losing the original model for comparison their eyes will slowly adjust to the warmer colour temperature eventually leading to the claim that the yellowness is gone, but having no original screen to compare.

That's just my opinion on the situation though and of course I could be wrong, but it's the main reason I won't RMA for a replacement device. 7000k (original) colour temp is already plenty warm for my liking.
