[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnomezgrave:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (SHV E110S) (T-Mobile) Korean version. I have found out it only has 70 characters for a single SMS. When I'm sending an SMS with more than 70 characters, the receiver gets the 1st part of the SMS repeatedly for more than 50 times, and then the 2nd part as a single SMS. I even can't get a phone call while that finishes because somehow the call gets dropped in between. Then I have installed Textra to send SMS, but the problem resists. This is pretty much annoying.

Can someone help me to fix this?

Thanks..!!
[Moto X Q&A] SanD-82:
Hello guys, thanks for reading the post.

My question is if someone knows if you can downgrade from kk 4.4.3 to jb 4.2.2 (with or without camera OTA)...

I'm not happy with my battery life on kk... If I cannot fix this somehow, I would consider downgrading...

Thanks for any advise that you could give me.

No. If you attempt to downgrade you will brick your phone and life will suck!
[Moto X Q&A] Joseluize:
Dont do it!

I bricked my phone when I tried to downgrade because bootloader is updated in the process. something.gpt :rolleyes:
[Moto X Q&A] SanD-82:
Yeah, you have to be very carefull about that, because boot loader changed from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2...

But there is a tutorial that says it can be done from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2, but I have not been able to find anything about 4.4.3...

Just....don't. I remember a thread about downgrading too. But if one little thing goes wrong....you'll be phone shopping.

[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
No one is going to say yes, no problem. There is risk. Anything can happen.

To me its Russian roulette. ;)

Just my opinion. ?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Wait!!!! Noooooo. That was SURELY written for 4.4. You can downgrade from 4.4 no problem. The new nasty un-downgradable bootloader started with 4.4.2.

That method I think simply will fail. Best case. Worst case, it bricks you. Medium case....it works....one day you take an OTA by accident, paperweight. ;)

The method of downgrading was NOT with rsd. It was manually flashing and not flashing bootloader and some other stuff. Some people screwed it up and bricked. That pretty much stopped the supporters of downgrading from debating their point. Lol

Listen....for your sake....unless you have the money for a new phone on the table beside you, or an old device you're perfectly happy with going back to.....do not attempt to downgrade.

I'm not talking about this taboo subject any more. Lol

Good luck with whatever you do. ?

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Sorry, my first reply, I hadn't actually read the link. That is NOT going to work. Period. :)
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
I would be wary using that method. Looking at the comments, one was posted before 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 was released, so it is probably an older guide meant to be used with 4.4 only. The other comment (yeah, there are only two) asked if it works with 4.4.2, but no answer was given. Attempting this will likely cause you to brick, or set your phone up to brick upon an update. As has been said before, you can take the risk, but I think most everyone here would suggest that you work out the battery issues you are having with KitKat via a different method.

Edit:

What KJ edited his post to say.
[Moto X Q&A] SanD-82:
Yeah, I won't be downgrading...

I really wish I never upgraded to kk, it's not nearly as optimized for the x as 4.2.2 was...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] fazzxx:
Hi guys I am new to this tablet so any advice but be appreciated.

If i update to kitkat I am told the knox security feature would be installed too.

What if I leave my note 8.0 on 4.2 and root and use custom roms and then if I decide to unroot and flash kitkat, would knox be triggered due to historic custom roms?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] CCallahan:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] fazzxx:
Ok thanks what if I just root and not flash a custom rom, would this trigger the knox?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
It depends on the rooting method you use. The one I used to root 4.4.2 after I updated via Odin was Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root and that tripped KNOX because it installs an unsigned (by Samsung) custom recovery temporarily before re-flashing the stock version.

I've never used Kingo but they claim to be able to root the Note 3 without tripping the KNOX flag so their method using an Android vulnerability to gain temporary root might work for the Note 8.0 as well.

My suggestion would be to use these forums and Google to research all the current methods for rooting the Note 8.0 and make sure there are users who have done it successfully with the KitKat boot loader installed and not tripped the KNOX "warranty" indicator.

Based on the KNOX articles I've read it appears that flashing, or even booting, an insecure kernel can set the eFuse switch which is said to be "impossible" to reverse, so flashing custom kernels and ROM's is out even if you can get root with the stock ROM without tripping the indicator.

I can understand the requirement for KNOX in high security environments but automatically voiding the warranty is just encouraging users to brick their devices in ways that prevent the KNOX flag from being accessed. Perhaps Samsung's position is that once the eFuse flag is set even their service centers cannot reverse it so the device is not able to reconditioned and sold since a tripped KNOX flag also disables some security features in the stock ROM.

Edit: I just read your OP again and if you don't flash the 4.4.2 (KitKat) bootloader and root with CF-Auto-Root you should be fine, even flashing custom kernels and ROM's, and still go back to a completely stock configuration using Odin to install the stock 4.2.2 ROM and TriangleAway to reset the flash counter. AFAIK there is no check of any historical data when the KNOX enabled 4.4.2 bootloader is installed but I would make sure that TriangleAway has successfully reset the flash counter before upgrading just to be safe.

Hi,

Due to KNOX you can't downgrade your Android version. When you mean you can't turn on your device, do you mean you can't even enter in download mode?

If you can enter in Download, then just flash the 4.4.2 ROM you were using.

HEllo,

I'm actually trying to hack THOMSON THBK1-10 tablet (also know at VOYO A1).

This is a dual boot system with Android 4.4.2, and Windows 8.1, based on Bay Trail (Atom Z3720) CPU. Running kernel is 3.4.43

After a long fight, i gained accesses to /system and /data partitions.

I have so copyed su binary, and changed the access mode to ugo+rx. Good !

Sadly, this is not enough to gain root access. everytime i'm issuing su command i got into a $ prompt.

I must mention i only have ADB wireless for this device: the USB is acting as an USB host, it is not possible to plug it into a PC/MAC.

My question is what i must check, do, to gain root accesses ? What should i look, try, dig ?

Thank you !

Hi guys !

I've just bought a samsung galaxy s4 (i9505) (a used one not new) and i flashed Imperium v7 and modem GNF1 and bootloader GNF1 (initially the phone was on stock 4.2.2 and the problem was already there).

My problem is that i don't get the network :( i rarely see two or three bars but it directly goes to zero (i can see the no network sign) and stays like that until a reboot (as said it drops to no network very fast).

So my question, is it software ? (should i flash the latest samsung stock firmware ?) or is it hardware ? (replace the internal network ship ?) :eek:

Or is it a common problem on S4 i9505 and no solution cannot be found ? :crying:

Could it be related to CSC ?

Anyway, i hope anybody can help me because i really like this phone and the rom that i just installed ..

Feel free to ask me about additional informations.

EDIT : I already tried :

1) the modem+bl FNDA => same result

2) force the phone to gsm only => same result (maybe better but even it solves the problem there is no point to not having 3g activated all the time)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwlshrtg:
It's going to be pretty difficult to narrow this down with what you've posted. You say the problem was "already there" when you got the phone -- how long did you use it on the stock 4.2.2 rom before flashing a new one? Did you see exactly the same behavior before you started mucking with it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbmb8989:
Hi ! Finally an answer :D So i used it for about 3 days and i really can tell that it is the same behaviour :(

My fear is that it may be related to hardware .. I am gonna try to flash the latest samsung stock firmware (with its csc and modem) ?

Anyway any idea ??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwlshrtg:
In general I'd say it's worth getting the phone to "current" stock, or as close to it as possible, and seeing what kind of situation you're in (i.e. if the behavior disappears or changes in any way). If you're seeing it on every configuration, it seems reasonable to suspect that it could be a hardware issue -- especially given that you got the phone used.

Perhaps someone else knows of a more definitive test you can try.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbmb8989:
Hey ! Thanks for the idea ! already flashed the latest samsung firmware and same problem .. i stayed in touch with the guy that sold it to me so he took it back to samsung sav where his friend (who work there) told him that this is a famous bug in the i9505 4g serie and that the only solution is a

nvm restore (something like that). Of course he'll do it for free cause we agreed that if a problem come out he'll have to solve it on his own.

Anyway, i hope to get it back tomorrow or monday ! I'll let you know what happened as soon as i get it back !

I find it much easier to back up all important partitions with dd command instead of trying to find a software that's compatible.

Once it's "bricked" you'll probably have to dd your backups back to phone thru adb anyway because backed up "raw" img's taken straight from device is not 100% safe to flash thru odin without repacking to samsung sparse images which is a lot of job imo.

To be completly safe (I think) there is three partitions.

mmcblk0p9 - cspsa.img

mmcblk0p11 - EFS.img

mmcblk0p12 - modemfs.img
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
I made a backup with EFS pro and it backed up the wrong partitions but one thing is good because it also backed up my efs folder (mmcblk0p11 partition) but EFS pro thinks mmcblk0p11 is modemfs2 (takes 16MB) and mmcblk0p9 is efs (takes 1024KB). Can I rename modemfs2.img to efs.img and restore it back to my phone if my efs get deleted ramdomly?

EDIT : how can i backup my efs partition with ADB? I don't know much about ADB and can I also backup my efs via Terminal Emulator?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Yes, you can just rename it.

To make a backup in terminal, example for efs:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/extSdCard/EFS.img
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Wow it worked well and much faster than efs pro ;) and how can I restore my efs.img with terminal? And did i backup correct? Is 16MB normal? Please check Screenshot I use first time terminal Emulator :p
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
It looks ok :good:

16MB is the size of the whole block. It's probably the best way to back up because you don't have to think about permissions on files and folders when you restore it. Of course you can zip it after so it takes less space, and keep the backups in a safe place :)

To restore you'll have to switch input and output.

dd if=/extSdCard/EFS.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
