[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonrakerone:
That is correct. A custom recovery which will let you do a backup will trip KNOX when you install it.

Unless there is a solution to reset KNOX discovered we're stuck with tripped KNOX or stock recoveries.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuss Fan:
Thank you for the quick reply. What is the difference between a stock and custom recovery? Little confusing...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonrakerone:
A stock recovery will only allow you to factory reset, clear the cache, or install

signed

update.zip files. This means that you cannot do anything custom (like an unofficial rom, tweak, or anything else not samsung signed.) you cannot use it to make nandroid backups, nor can you use it to recover nandroid backups.

A custom recovery allows unsigned flashing, backups, restores, and more.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuss Fan:
In your opinion should I wait until a custom recovery that doesnt trip KNOX and do all the things you mentioned is out before I do anything?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonrakerone:
From what I've heard the knox fuse is sort of a one-time deal. It might not be circumvented. Personally I treat my phone very well and after verifying it worked properly, I picked up a case and rooted+installed a custom recovery. I don't really care about my Knox warranty status. It's certainly something you need to decide personally.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshua.justice:
I'm wondering if there's any other differences than our S5's coming with Verizon apps and the bootloader being locked? I'm thinking all the radios/frequency bands are the exact same. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
The only stupid question is the one not asked.:) No, different carriers use different bands. I'm not sure who uses what but I know they are different.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshua.justice:
I know different carriers use different bands, but my question is are all bands present on all phones. So say they release a GPE Galaxy S5, if all the bands are there presumably I'd be able to use it on Verizon if all bands are there.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
The bands might be present but I know they omit things like CDMA antennas on the Virgin Mobile phones so you can't use those bands. They might work somewhat but wouldn't be fully functional for roaming and 4GLTE and such.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffJr2:
If i recall correctly. The GSM based versions do not have support for CDMA, while VZW variants have support for GSM/HSPA+/UMTS.

Sorry if this has been covered already in another thread, but I couldn't find an answer using Search.

I really need to be able to store files generated by apps on the SD card, which I know from experience on another device (Note 10.1) KitKat disables. I also know that rooting allows me to install an app that will allow this limitation to be overcome. My question is whether, by accepting the OTA, I will be unable to root the phone. And if so, how?

I'm currently on 4.3, AND3 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xnatex21:
Currently no way to root stock OTA 4.4.2 for out Note II (assuming you have the locked bootloader. If you're unlocked, then you can just flash the rooted 4.4.2 ROM).

This is indeed a great site, but if the search function were as strong as you think it is, I wouldn't have had to post this thread. (I now fully understand the Q&A subforum, which is a terrific resource.) It's pretty obvious to me now that if I want root, I can't have updated to KitKat!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to root having backdated my build version to MJ9, which similarly isn't all that easy to find.

[XDA Assist] It_ler:
It depends on the device you have.

On some devices, you can flash the TWRP recovery to file in CWM recovery.

On others it's different.

So please tell me which device/Model you have.

Its an mtk device tecno m5.

Assuming I have. The image file how do I flash it from cwm

Hello, my SGP512 has arrived from Hong Kong, and i would like to flash it with an European firmware, as it only let me choose HK region and similar, and it also has some HK exclusive apps (bloatware)

So, to people here who has an European Xperia Z2 Tablet 32GB WIFI (SGP512), is there someone so kind to post here his customization number?

I live in Spain, so Spanish customization would be ideal, if not UK, Germany, Generic Europe or alike would be fine.

You can see it in the service menu See How Here, or a screenshot of your build.prop would be ideal.

Thank you!

Hi,

Does anyone know where the contacts are stored on the XDA Exec? I would like to store over 12,000 contacts but I find it fills my memory up and the XDA runs extremely slow. I have had to delete them all.

Just so you know, I don't have 12,000 friends, I work for a large company and it would be nice to sync my Works contacts on to my PDA.

If only I can get Contacts to store them on my Storage Card and run from there.

Cheers

thnx a lot
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Doodle:
I would use a synchronization woth outlook (you can then keep your datathere when your machine is in repair). Alternatively, use a back-up program like sprite or SPB backup.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
PIM.vol is in root on your phone, not in \windows.

But do a backup before sending the phone anywhere, activesync, and do use Sprite or SPB Backup.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] freemans:
Go for Sprite so you can restore even after a ROM upgrade :) Best to do a full backup and restore to avoid any issues
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eman:
AKU3.2 allows you to be able to leave all your 12,000 contacts lying on your company's server, after which you can remotely access your contact list from within the contact application :)

This is extremely fast and works close enough as searching for the contacts within your own phone's database.

The only requirement is Exchange Server 2003 Service pack2 from your company's end.

:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lulugirl896:
Here's an idea for your large contact database- why not export to an excel spreadsheet and this way you have the info for reference and you can save the spreadsheet on your memory card.

[Ornate TrueSmart] Ozpeter:
Android Wear seems to be intended for devices with a fraction of the functionality of a TrueSmart. I would guess the TS would be seriously hobbled by installing it. The Wear devices have only BT radio capability for instance - I wonder whether Google have got code in Android Wear to support future devices with Wifi and sim cards etc. Not to mention memory card support. If they don't foresee Android Wear standalone devices, then the code won't be there.

So I'm on the verge to buy a 8 inches tablet and I've come down to a choice between the G Pad and the Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 and would like to have your opinions.

So of course, on paper, I should go with the Tab Pro. Better CPU&GPU, higher resolution, bigger battery, etc. But...the G Pad kinda looks better, has software buttons, has better Roms support (thank you GPE) and is also 150 € cheaper ! I also wonder if the GPE program will allow the G Pad to get updated longer than the Tab Pro.

So is the faster CPU/GPU really a huge leap of performance ? I'm not a huge gamer and will mostly browse the web and watch films.

What do you think ?

A brightness distribution of 78% is very uneven. Such brightness differences can be seen with the naked eye in big white areas."
