fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip gpe.zip

fastboot flash zip gpe.zip

fastboot reboot

done! Completely wipes phone btw. If you don't want to wipe phone, just keep a backup of stock rom, and switch back to it and flash stock recovery, take ota, flash custom recovery, backup current for future updates, and restore your custom backup. You can also flash ota's on custom as long as you follow instructions for cid etc…
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyTA:
Thanks for the help. So when I first get the One (hopefully be here tuesday), I should probably 1.) Unlock bootloader 2.) flash TWRP 3.) create nandroid of stock 4.) root device 5.) achieve S-off (first with firewater, if it doesn't work, then sunshine) 6.) assuming I'd prefer my device to be fully stock and able to receive OTA updates, restore my nandroid from step 3. and then flash the stock recovery.

With all that, I'd effectively have an unlocked, S-Off device that would receive OTA updates. This would allow me to have the option to add twrp / flah custom ROMs in the future and have the option to use an RUU if I really screw something up.

Are there any other steps I should take?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0ther:
Sunshine will unlock bootloader do no need to register phone. Root with towelroot and Soff with sunshine.

First off, sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't sure which one it belongs in. This is my first post on xda.

I may be totally missing something. Either way, I though I would share this and hopefully some developer can help me formulate a script to execute my idea.

I had an idea that I think would expose what I think is another snapchat privacy flaw, however this one may not be patchable without completely rethinking the way SnapChat functions. If I am correct, you could allow my script to run for a couple hours (or minutes depending on how well it is coded) and extract any snapchat user's phone number given their user name.

Here goes: When you add a user on snapchat, their user name will just appear as their username. However, once you add that person's number, snapchat locates their account and recognizes that you now have them added as a phone contact and as a snapchat contact, at that point it changes from displaying their name as their user name, to their name that you gave them as your contact list. (i.e. instead of "jnsmthr0x" it becomes "John Smith")

So. A script could allow you to enter the snapchat target's username, and given that snapchat is practically open source all it would need to do it keep entering a variation of numbers for a mock contact until snapchat change from displaying "jnsmthr0x" to "John Smith" and that would be the user's actual phone number. To simplify things a little bit, you could enter in which area codes the user may have. Assuming you know which area codes it could possibly be, you can run the program a few times trying each one, thus eliminating the first 3 digits and speeding up the process.

Again, I maybe totally off and this could be a stupid thought. But if not, and someone decides to help me code it (or codes it on their own), I kindly ask that I be given credit for the idea!

Hello,

Anyone has problem with the microSD card being ejected when writing on it ? I have that when I take a video or multiple photo in line, even when I run a backup with Titanium and the phone is just on a table, without moving it.

I use this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007JTKM30/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use it for months on my macbook with a nifty drive without problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedscreen:
I've had this happen myself a few times. Then my SD card got mostly corrupted, but it wasn't new, I had a 64GB Kingston Class 10 SD Card that I've abused and over used for the last few years coming from my Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy S2), Galaxy S3, and now LG G3.

My best advice:

ALWAYS backup your SD card every three months onto a computer and external hard drive, and replace your external hard drive and SD every three years if you're a heavy user (just to be safe).

I installed a newer 32GB Sandisk Class 10 (until I replace my 64GB card some day) and I have not once had it "eject" at all since. So that's probably heads up that your card is failing. Whatever you do, don't format it and keep using it, it's on it's way out from the sounds of it. The thick bars/lines in the photos are a good warning. Buy a new one as soon as you can, for now try to stick to internal storage.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habaddon:
Yeah, it's possible, I will try with a new one. Thank you ;)

Great work on getting the SMS Chat view from the 750v extracted!!!

I would also like to see the following Palm Innovation extracted from the 750v for everyone's use:

"Dial or message by name:

Look up and dial contacts in an instant from the Today screen by entering just a few letters of a contact's name or phone number and pressing Send. You also have the option to send a text message or email – with just a quick press and hold1. There's no need to navigate to your contacts list and then over to email, you can do it all from one place."

Running 4.4.4. Think this started after the 4.4 update. Sometimes Chrome works fine, other times the page refuses to load. The blue line under the URL starts to go from left to right; gets about 1/10th of the way, then just stops. The blue line goes away (finishes loading?) and the page is blank. I uninstall the Chrome updates and go back to the original Nexus 4 Chrome, and it works fine. Later, I'll update Chrome, and it works fine. Then, a few days later, the freezing starts all over again.

Hi,

I'm trying to switch my SMS app on my GS4 from what came with my phone to hangouts. Currently when I send an emoji through the built in sms app it is sent as MMS instead of sms (it switchs as soon as i type an emoji) which is fine with me. But then I go to start using hangouts for SMS and I type an emoji and the recipient gets nothing. Please help. I would like to switch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
I'm not sure why it does it but for some reason in certain versions of sms apps with Samsung phones it defaults to mms instead. I know there is an xposed app which changes default long messages back to sms vs mms. I use hangouts as well but it doesn't give me that issue. Then again I'm on an S3

Edit: have you changed the default messaging app to hangouts inside settings within hangouts?

now i wanted to use the XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.132-BETA.installer.zip but can i just use it? because i used already an other guide and i dont want to brick my phone...

and the file is named "lockeddualrecovery" why locked?

my bootloader isnt unlocked (bootloader unlock ALLOWED: yes) but why should i unlock it? what advantage my phone will get when i unlock it? i can root it, i can use recoveries.. for what the unlock? i googled.. and no one asked about this.. all want to unlock but i want to know why

first of all hi!

you dont need to unlock your bootloader to install it!

its called LOCKED maybe because its work on locked bootloaders too!

use THIS

to install DUAL RECOVERY BY [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] !!!! ;)

happy recovery installing ;)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anagramgenius:
go ahead with dual recovery. it won't brick your phone.

locked means it can be installed in locked bootloader.

unlocking bootloader lets you install custom roms like cyanogenmod, omnirom etc which are close to stock android something like in nexus devices.

okay thanks.. dual recovery works fine.. :P

can i use custom kernels?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If it boots at all you didn't kill it.

Not sure what rom you got from the CWM site. They do recoveries, not roms. The ROM manager app does allow you to download roms, but you can't just convert those from zip to tar. That doesn't make them flashable in Odin.

Here's what you do. Get the stock ROM from either here on XDA (use the search feature to find it) or from Sammobile.com.

Flash that in Odin.

Then you can start over.

---OR---

If you want to try to fix what you've got now, download CWM or TWRP RECOVERY (nor ROM) and flash that in Odin. Boot to recovery, wipe data and system, and flash any other rom you want. That will start you over with a fresh rom of your choice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
hallelujah!

my apologies, i meant that i downloaded recovery files from the cwm website, not a rom files - i got them from https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager - i downloaded both (touch & non-touch) s4 t-mobile versions (6.0.4.7). i'm assumed those were recovery files?

again, my apologies - i meant that i downloaded *.img files, not zips, and converted them to tars for odin use. i used a batch file to convert them from img to tar, found at xda, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281287 - it seemed to do the job, odin ran and reported success. wrong files? wrong conversion?

given a choice, i'd like to do what's bolded in red - but that's what i thought i was doing by flashing the cwm file i downloaded from the cwm website - but after the flash attempt it wouldn't boot into cwm, it would just boot into (i'm assuming") the stock rom i restored, which was a mess. i also unchecked auto-boot to see if that helped - but when i manually booted it didn't boot into cwm, it booted into the stock recovery, with the animated android.

i'll try downloading cwm from the sources you provided, and see if that does the trick. btw, why do you think i was able to flash the cm11 rom with (seemingly) perfect success, but wasn't able to restore either one of the full system (android) backups i made after i rooted my phone?

anyway Skipjack, thanks a ton for your assistance and i'll report back after i give your sources a try. fwiw, it sure is a great charge when a newbie like me sees a custom rom load for the first time, displaying a new ui as it boots, fun stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just download the ready yo flash tar files. Cwm has them. Twrp has them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
success Skipjack thanks to your generous time and assistance!

i ended up downloading the latest odin zip i could find and philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltetmo.tar.md5... my first try didn't take, with auto-reboot checked, my phone simply rebooted into the same problematic rom i had restored. i then tried it with auto-boot unchecked and manually booted when odin reported pass/success, and it worked. what struck me as odd was how long it took to flash, to report pass/success, around 3-5 minutes if i had to guess, a big difference compared to when i first used odin to root my phone with the["SGH-M919] CF-Auto-Root *.tar.md5 file - i'm guessing that's why it didn't work with auto-boot checked, just took too long?

anyway once i booted into philz_touch recovery i executed the wipe data/factory reset > clean to install a new rom command and then flashed the cm11 m7 (snapshot) rom, which i had flashed once before, right before i attempted to restore the stock rom it had replaced. and as was the case the first time around, it installed without a hitch and is running smooth and fast.

however now when i boot the phone, as soon as the cyanogen logo appears, very tiny text appears in the upper left hand corner which reads (i had to use a magnifying glass!) - it doesn't seem to effect the performance of he device but i'd like to get to the bottom of it, i've already searched and it appears to be a rather common issue.

kernel is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit: kernel

btw, i forgot to mention, when i purchased my sgh-m99 it already had 4.3 installed - when i flashed my first rom (cm11 m7) it included kitkat 4.4.2... could this be what caused my problems? did trying to go back to (restore) a 4.3 rom after flashing a 4.4.2 rom screw things up? can this even be done successfully?

and finally, at the risk of bugging the heck out of you, what roms do you prefer for your s4, assuming you have an s4? do you like aosp roms or touchwiz? does one type have a better reputation of being more stable? the primary reason i wanted to rot my phone was to get rid of a bunch of t-mobile / samsung bloatware, which i thought i could do by installing a lean custom rom. any suggestions, which are your favorites? thanks again Skipkack.

ouhned after

re the two lines of text i now get in the upper left hand corner of the screen whenever i boot, the kernel message:

well after a lot of searching and reading, including coming across dozens of "fixes" and "solutions" that didn't seem to work for many folks, these two responses seemed to make some sense, what do you think?

The tiny text on the boot screen is basically telling you that Knox has been tripped. You are right. It does not affect the performance of the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks skipjack... btw i'm really liking the cm11 m7 rom but, via the learning curve process, i've discovered it does not support wifi calling, something that apparently all aosp rom lack, guess i'll have to go with a touchwiz rom even tho the selection seems to be few and far between. also, is it possible to revert back to 4.3 once 4.4.2 has been flashed? seems like there's a lot of mixed opinions on this, altho in terms of those opinions it's hard for me tell who the pros are that should believed, and who the other guys are that really don't know. thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
Once you are rooted you can flash any custom ROM 4.3, 4.4, 4.2, etc. and then go back to stock 4.3. And only TW ROMs allow wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
very interesting... i guess i misunderstood the posts i read on the subject, maybe they were discussing whether or not you could revert to 4.3 from 4.4.2 on non-rooted phones, which i'm guessing isn't possible. anyway, as i mentioned previously, i fist rooted my 4.3 phone, did a full system backup (using online nandroid), flashed a 4.4.2 rom which worked perfectly, then tried to restore my 4.3 backup only to encounter a bunch of problems, thought going from 4.4.2 back to 4.3 may have caused the problems but i guess not?

so if i'm using a 4.4.2 custom rom and want to restore a 4.3 backup i should be able to boot into recovery and restore from there? or would i need to do a 4.3 flash first, before restoring a 4.3 backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Did you wipe before you restored? And do not misunderstand this, you cannot downgrade firmwares once you go 4.3 and up, but you can downgrade the system, which is what you did with your backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks very much for the clarification, i was under the impression that firmware and system were somewhat synonymous in this context, i.e. if you upgraded firmware you were in effect upgrading the system, but i see that's not the case, again thanks. and yes i did do a full wipe before trying to restore the backup, was i not supposed to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Updating firmware does update the system. Based on your previous comment the only thing you did was update the system by flashing a ROM which only contains the system, data, and kernel, so you can still flash the 4.3 firmware. Firmware consists of bootloader, recovery, modem, and system, what you cannot downgrade is the bootloader, the flash will fail every time because it will try to downgrade it. And you should not experience any issues restoring your back up. What were this problems?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:

well it looks like the *.md5 file was pointing to my internal drive rather than external which is where i had moved the 4.3 backup (and apparently the *.md5 file didn't update or account for the move), anyway i copied the backup to my internal drive and, viola, no more md5 mismatch errors. more importantly, it restored the 4.3 backup perfectly, in the exact same state as before, without all of lagging and pop up issues i was having before, so i'm one happy camper! not sure what i did the first time around, but all is good now, for he time being, sure wish i knew what i mucked up to cause the problems in the first place, i really have no idea, other than being a newbie at this. also, fwiw, the tiny text in the upper left hand corner that appears during boot (kernal message) no longer appears now that i have restored the 4.3 system backup... fwiw2, i'm liking the philz_touch_recovery but it sure has taken some getting used to, the commands are so close together and the thing is so sensitive, very easy to accidentally select the wrong option, and some of the wrong options aren't too friendly if it wasn't what you had intended to select.
