Hey folks!

I followed the instructions posted by allcaps33 at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53549710 to get provisioning disabled, and the native hotspot app is working for me now! I just wanted to confirm if this was an operation similar to running Wifi Tether Router on an unlocked/rooted device (I had an S2Sky prior that I tethered off of regularly). I've got one of those too-rare Unlimited Data plans and am traveling cross-country, made possible by being able to tether my laptop to my phone to work. Just wanting to confirm that this was relatively as secure as using the Wifi Tether Router on my S2Sky. On a semi-related note, that app doesn't seem to want to run properly on my S5; when I click Enable Router it turns on the Wifi, which immediately connects to the house's wired router. It still broadcasts but doesn't send data, and it's hit or miss if a device can even connect to it from there.

Next question - I'm used to flashing a CM ROM within the first couple days of getting a new phone, which doesn't seem feasible just yet with the S5 (from what I can tell anyway; I'm not used to having a current-gen device). I've heard about the myriad evils of OTA updates, and was hoping to get help on how to disable them. I would like to avoid my device upgrading to a point where my above-stated desired functionality is disabled. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of the various bloatware apps as well, though am not sure how to go about that.

I appreciate your time and support, and thanks for being a community that's always been there for me as I derp along with my fancy internet boxes!

Hi!

The absolute easiest way is to use Rom Toolbox. I have the pro version, but I believe it's available in the lite version as well.

Download and open up RTB.

Tap on "App Manager"

Then scroll down until you see "AT&T Software Update"

Tap on it.

A popup will display. Swipe from right to left, and you will be on the "Advanced" tab.

Scroll down and tap on "Advanced Freeze."

You will come to a screen which shows you the Activities, Recievers, Services, and Providers. Tap on EACH box/line. This will Disable OTA services.

We're not done yet!

Go back to the App Manager screen again, and repeat the process for an app called "LocalFOTA"

Finished!

I also Disable most of the bloatware and Knox this way.

Have fun!

Now for the hard part...

Yes this can be as secure as the other the tether. Ensure you use and change the password service with the app.

As for the tether turning your wifi on, it is supposed to do that. The best way to get this to work is to turn the tether on and off (then on again). If this does not work, try emptying the data/cache for the built-in tether app. And start from scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SwingBlade:
KNOX - What is it? I'm under the impression it's some sort of security for the phone, to protect from malicious activity that you might not be aware of, but also that it'll "tattle" on you if you mod your phone in a way AT&T doesn't approve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] allcaps33:
Knox is two things.

1) It is a security container for apps. It works as both a license/drm type software for Samsung official apps.

And

2) Android contains a root environment at all times. This is what makes SU possible. It used to be quite easy to invoke Android system calls as root.

Root is actually separate from super user. Knox, like SEPolicy, helps dev companies detect, halt, and/or hinder apps, not su itself, but apps that that use these root system calls.

Be wise, even though Knox itself does not "report" these types of actions, it still logs them. And there are other apps that can read these logs and send out these reports. I should say (and I'm only guessing) that only work/company issued phones are setup like this. Not your personal phone.

In fact, our phones actually contain a file which logs all root system calls. It has nothing to do with Knox but, I believe this binary is what hinders us open devs, but makes it easy for Samsung and AT&T to restore/repair our phones.

Hello.

I'm stuck at S/W Upgrade mode. I treid to flash .dz file wuth LG Flash Tool, tried also flashing KDZ and recovering original ROM with LG PC Suite. Can you help me? What should I do to make my P880 working. Recently I've lost IMEI in my P880 and so this mess started...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
Your only chance is (in my view) to restore backup, if you have any, from an external device only then you can get your IMEI back. Otherwise look for a thread with same problem where someone posted some options.

Before I update SuperSU through the Play Store, I usually wait and check comments to make sure no issues. With the latest, I've seen quite a few comments of folks having issues -- also, on the XDA thread for SuperSU. (not necessarily our phone)

I did see the thread here concerning someone losing root and binaries perhaps not being updated, etc.

So, I'm just wanting to check before I pull the trigger on any update.

I recently upgraded the Rom in my Vario II to the 1.34 Cingular Rom and I've been trying for a few hours now to remove the little "Cingular" logo from the dialpad without success.

The problem is that \Windows\_Carrierlogo.gif is stored in the ROM and so it can't be deleted or replaced (because you can't write to the 1.3x Rom versions yet).

Does anyone know where the _Carrierlogo.gif is called from? (I've searched the registry and can find no mention of it there).

I assume if I can find reference to it in a *.inf or *.ini file then I can redirect it to my own carrier logo.

I know it seems petty, but that little logo really bugs me! although not nearly as much as the PTT button issue :(

2) Extract the contents of imgfs:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoExtractImgfs

3) install cygwin and do a "grep -ri Carrierlogo *" on the dumped files, you should see where the "carrierlogo.gif" is referenced there.

I'm updated to NE4 and want to flash back to a 4.3 rom. I was able to downgrade but unable to get any signal due to not having NE4.

I just need the NE4 to flash to get signal back but not the whole OTA.

NOTE TO ALL!!!!!!

WARNING!!!

WARNING!!!

WARNING!!!

DO NOT FLASH THIS MODEM UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE UCUFNE4 FIRMWARE!!!!! THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF FLASHED ON 4.3 FIRMWARE!!!!!!!

THIS IS ONLY SAFE TO FLASH IF YOU ARE ON 4.4.2, NE4, I747 FIRMWARE AND BOOTLOADER!!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] plastic_green_head:
So let me get this straight. This is for if a person:

Updated via OTA to 4.4.2

Installed TWRP/CWM 4.3 backup

No Wi-Fi after installing the 4.3 backup

This will simply get Wi-Fi working again after restoring a 4.3 backup, after on 4.4.2 OTA?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rishidhar:
Thank you so much DocHoliday77! This works if you are on NE4 bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
No it most likely won't fix WiFi, this is only for if you flashed the 4.3 modem as instructed in many 4.3 Rom threads, after having updated to the 4.4.2 firmware.

I believe the wifi issues you are referring to are kernel related. If on a 4.3 rom, flash the MJ2 kernel to fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rishidhar:
Yeah Wifi is kernel issue. I've had to use the Ktoonez 4.3 kernel if I'm running a 4.3 ROM after updating to the NE4 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Mj2 and mjb kernels work for 4.3 too.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
so I'm currently on 4.4 NE4 bootloader and on an AOSP rom(AOSPA), will I be able to flash 4.3 kernel to fix wifi? I remembered some roms mentioned that 4.4 aosp rom only accept 7/1/14 and up kernels.. but forgot which
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The kernel will have to match the rom. So if you're on a 4.4 rom, you'll need the kernel to be the same. Also, aosp/cm kernels are not compatible with touchwiz and vice versa. The MJ2 kernel fix I mentioned previously is only for 4.3 touchwiz roms. Im not sure about what you'd need to do for aosp though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
i've pretty much tried all the 4.4.x kernels and none of them seem to work :3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Probably best to ask in the thread you got your rom in then. I dont use non touchwiz roms so im not well versed with them and their requirements.

Generally, you should use the kernel included or recommended with the rom for troubleshooting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
yeah i know that, but thing is when i flashed the TW 4.4.2 from my previous post, the problem already showed up, I couldn't turn on wifi at all.

which happened to me before in the past and when i flash an AOSP rom, it fixed, so that was what i did, but just that this time it didn't work

and what pain me is that going back to stock will reset everything again...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smallyetzon:
did you manage to fix signal? im in the same boat and failed to flash NE4 :((( i dont have a baseband and no modem will flash
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rishidhar:
Yep. Once you update to NE4 then you have to use NE4 modem from then on because the NE4 bootloader will enforce that.

Post #4 on this thread by DocHoliday77 provides a flashable NE4 modem zip that you can flash though CWM or TWRP and get your signal back.

Even if you use a 4.3 rom once you have tried or updated to NE4 bootloader, always flash NE4 modem.

NE4 Flashable Modem - Thanks DocHoliday77!

Hmm I was also having this problem on my G2 try every equaliser app but didn't get success . Then I myself edit this ROM to fix that problem and voila problem solves. I'm not a developer but if you follow all step correctly you will success .

I need your full concentration !

Step#1; If you have purekat ROM downloaded in pc then open it go into folder "system" here you will see "vendor" folder . extract that "vendor" folder to your sd card then open "lib" folder a file named "libaudioeffect_jni.so" and a folder named "soundfx" extract those folder to sd card also.

Step#2; now use root explorer to copy past these files ( i use this )

Step#3; open root explorer then past that vendor folder in root/system

Step#4; then cut and paste "libaudioeffect_jni.so" and "soundfx" into system/lib .

Step#5; then reboot your device nd enjoy :)
