[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erty333:
Hello im new in here!

Im using samsung galaxy s5 g900f and it was working perfectly. But yesterday idiotic me entered an mmi code which is *35*0000# so all my incoming calls and sms' barred.

After that i tried its neutralizer to go back normal which is ##35*0000# but it didnt work. I tried dozens of mmi codes but it just stuck in there?!

Anyway after that i go back to default options menu on the phone. Call settings -> additional settings -> call barring -> bar all incoming calls. It asks for a password which is defaulty is 0000, it gives error and goes back. Tried to change password and it gave error too.

Wipe cache, hard reset, root, custom rom i tried every one of them to ger rid of this sh.t but i couldnt. Even samsung support couldnt help me. Please please help ! :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You could try flashing the stock rom with Odin and factory reset afterwards to see if that fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erty333:
Thanks for the quick reply! :)

But i already flashed the rom and god knows how many factory resets. I almost deleted everything on the phone bu that barring option never left.

Im using xtrestolite v 1.2.1 at the moment.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Try this unbarring code #35*0000# .
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erty333:
It says "connection problem or invalid mmi code"
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Can`t you call Samsung for some help and advice tomorrow?

-Edit- You allready did ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erty333:
:D sorry, asked too much questions i know. Of course i called them before, they even checked it with remote access app of theirs and couldnt identify the problem.

Sorry again if i bothered :)

[HTC One Mini] DezBucks:
Hi all,

I was having a strange problem with my USB dropping out when using the NEWER recovery (TWRP and Philz). Which meant I couldn't push files via ADB or Sideload. Here is my solution....

Before starting

I am using Windows 7

Download Google USB driver

Make sure you have TWRP 2.7.1.1 loaded as your recovery

You may have slightly different devices show up maybe, but this is what mine showed...

Open device manager

Plug phone in and power up to bootloader

Device manager should show 'Android Device' or similar

Open recovery

**This is where my USB was dropping out**

Make sure TWRP 2.7.1.1 loads

Look at device manager and should show 'One Mini' with a yellow exclamation mark

I tried updating the drivers automatically and browsing to the Google USB folder that we downloaded above but just kept saying 'device driver loading failed'.

The only way I found worked was

Right click 'One Mini' and update driver

Browse my computer for driver software

Let me pick from a list of device drivers

If you have Android device listed click that, if not choose Portable device.

Click 'Have disk' and locate the Google USB Driver folder and should be able to load the .inf file.

Click from the list ADB USB device and click ok.

This should load your device and install properly.

You shoud now be able to use ADB and Sideload in Recovery now.

Let me know if this works or not as there are a couple of bits that I can't replicate as the driver is already there!

Hello,

Do you think you can make a video for my guide also? I have written a compilation post of all the guides. The only videos missing is how to install Play store or how to control Fire TV with VNC server. Let me know if you have any difficulty following my guide.

[Fire TV General] Damien1979:
just a heads up.

I used your method and it works flawlessly. I installed Viper4Android while I was at it, makes a HUGE difference. Figured I'd let you know, and thanks.
[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
glad it worked for you.
[Fire TV General] long2know:
Worked great for me - the only problem I see, and it has nothing to do with your root method, is that Google Play store seems to detect the FireTV as a GoogleTV device. So, almost any application I go to install is listed as incompatible.. <ugh>
[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
yeah you could edit the build prop and make google play think you have a different device. just cant rememeber the exact files to have to change to do it
[Fire TV General] long2know:
I tried Market Helper... It did nothing for me.

I just modified the build.prop so that make is GT-I9300 / samsung and everything works flawlessly now. Check out some of the pics/etc I posted on Google+ ..

https://plus.google.com/+StephenLong/posts
[Fire TV General] long2know:
Small fix ..

In addition to modifying the build.prop, I noticed that if I attempt to install Google+ or Google Play Movies, I kept getting a "Missing shared library" error. Using adb logcat, I noticed it was occurring because "com.google.android.maps.jar" is missing. So, I did a quick search and found that com.google.android.maps.jar and com.google.android.maps.xml are needed. You can get these from the 4.2.2 gapps. To install them, here's what I did, in case anyone else may fight this useful:

First, using the Android terminal from the Play Store, run as superuser:

su --> Grant root via SuperSU

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system --> mount /system as writable

Now, go back to your adb session and just push the files overs:

adb push com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/

adb push com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/

Back at the FireTV Android Terminal:

cd /system/etc/permissions

chmod 644 com.google.android.maps.xml

cd /system/framework

chmod 644 com.google.android.maps.jar

Finally, reboot the FireTV from adb:

adb reboot

Interestingly, the FireTV detects these new files as some sort of update and will show a 'System is updating' message. Just let it finish, as it doesn't appear to affect root or anything else already installed.

Afterward, I was able to install Google+ and Google Play Movies without problems.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

There is actually one other framework library I had to install for Google Play movies:

com.google.widevine.software.drm

Same basic procedure as below ...
[Fire TV General] simon0w:
Thanks for the videos. Used them last night to get my box set up and they were very helpful.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
Did I miss some part of the video or somewhere that explains how I'm supposed to navigate the fireTV with the remote? I see you have a little circle moving around in yours but never explained how to do that.

I'm stuck at the chrome part to download the google apps because the app turns sideways on my TV and wants me to click accept and all that. Can't do anything with the remote.
[Fire TV General] mjbxx:
Try using a USB mouse for that part.
[Fire TV General] retroben:
You need a mouse or trackpad control for the circle to appear.

I recommend getting the inexpensive Logitech K400r Keyboard with built-in trackpad.

I had that thing in my hands too!! guess ill go pick it up

If anyone here is interested, I actually found a version of Twitch.tv that can be sideloaded and used on the amazon fire tv. It's version 1.4.0.
[Fire TV General] retroben:
The latest 2.7.x versions fail,but I already have a later version that works.

I actually have 2.5.0 working perfectly fine.
[Fire TV General] alwaysbless:
Would love to see what changes you made. I tried editing the build.prop (model/manufacturer/name/device) on one of my FTVs a little while back and it didnt do a damn thing. Google play recognized it as a different device when I logged into play store through browser but all apps still showed as incompatible even after a reboot. Only way ive seen it able to work is using the market helper (you can tell its working because it has 8 category icons at the top instead of 4). Are you sure your market helper app isnt what got it working for you? it takes a few minutes to update the playstore and if you edited the build.prop after enabling then thats probably how you got the full marketplace working.
[Fire TV General] Hill16:
Hi, would also like to know how to amends the build.prop (if it's easy to do!)

I have not tried market helper yet
[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
Market helper works and is easy to use check it out. You can find it at rootjunkysdl.com under amazon fire TV
[Fire TV General] mikespe:
What does it do?
[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
It edits your fire TV and fakes out Google play store to think you have a different device allowing you access to the all the play store apps.
[Fire TV General] EvoTillIdIE:
how do i disconnect an adb divice that i dont know what it is and it wont allow me to side load apps with both connected?

C:\FTV>adb devices

List of devices attached

3018ebcb device (No clue what this is)

[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
just unplug all usb device attached to your computer and try again
[Fire TV General] rbox:
adb disconnect

by itself should disconnect everything.
[Fire TV General] Hill16:
Yep, that works. Very easy. I was also able to update apps I had already sideloaded.

I found this app for disabling services and evozi'd it on my Fire TV.

It requires root.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

I found an interesting service that is used to force an update to install when received.

AmazonDeviceSystemApp: OTAForceInstallSrvc com.amazon.tv.device.OTAForceInstallSrvc

What would happen if this service is disabled?

Would you always have the option to manually install the update whenever you want,or would it mess everything up?

Thanks for sharing! I am using a Linux machine so I can't really test them. But I think they will be of great help for others. Do you have plans to release a Linux version of your tools?

I could just have to write up the bash file on my linux machine. just havent found time to do it yet. I only use that machine to write my bash files on so dont use it much.
[Fire TV General] Ultraschorsch:
No need to. Just focus on the windows tools since there are a lot more people using it. But thanks again for sharing your work!
[Fire TV General] harlekinrains:
I think that both programs/concepts are a bad idea.

You are taking a Kodi distribution, bundling it into a "follow the instructions" clickable installer and then distributing it for the grater benefit and Youtube Channel views.

Moreso - you are bundling other software - without consent - and specific plugins one of them being the godawful Superrepo (an illegal crawler that redistributes everything it finds on the net without developers concent - much like your solution, also it lists plugins that solicit illegal use - this time for real (not like Amazon is using it as a front)) - and thereby creating a - sub ecosystem for the lazy that very much does more harm than good.

In the coming weeks a new major release of Kodi will be published and people will have a need to understand how updating and backing up of their installations works - you will prevent this by taking the focus away from real adb usage (again, the gui with two buttons for the greater good is a false principle, imho).

Also your "Drop Target" approach takes away from people using aafm (a real adb based file browser) to be able to look at all the folder structures. Again - the two button solution that will cement, that people never will use the better file browser solutions.

But I dont know exactly to whom I am talking, and I am persona non grata in here - because everytime I openly speak out against "popular" missconceptions I get beaten down by authority figures.

So I leave it at the following observation.

- You choose to redistribute the works of others - but slap your own Brandname and Youtube channel over it

- You choose to implement simple two button solutions, that in the medium term (updating alone) will create more problems than they will solve, because they will increase the number of uneducated users (using adb, knowing the folder structure of Kodi)

- Your curation approach (which apps to bundle) is superficial, does facilitate Illegal use (this time for real), and shows no understanding about the Kodi app ecosystem at large.

If you want to do something that benefits the users in here -

- dont bundle Kodi releases or Apps that others have made - make sure, that the program will autodownload the latest stable release instead - and credit the developers of the solutions you are contemplating to use.

- make an aafm installer ( https://github.com/sole/aafm ) (version r4 (https://github.com/sole/aafm/archive/r4.zip runs in Windows, once you delete the lines import pwd and

import grp from the script)) and allow users to easily start and use a fully fledged file browser instead of a "drag drop target" solution.

- dont bundle illegal repositories with your releases.

In the long run this will benefit the community much more.
[Fire TV General] Ultraschorsch:
Are you a developer yourself? Instead of being a persona non grata by speaking openly, why don't you just develop tools the way you think they should be? I think this would benefit the community the most and stops you from being a persona non grata :)
[Fire TV General] Tomsgt:
Thanks for the input on the tools. I have removed super repo as I don't know enough about it to say anything different then what you addressed.

I like the idea of having a file browser open to look for apk files in. I will look into that one.

Most noobs can't handle adb commands so I think that these tools are useful but everybody is welcome to there opinion.

:)
[Fire TV General] kingvortex:
I also think the tools are useful for those unable to use a command line to sideload apps etc. Helping others is part of what this place is about.

I can use adb to do whatever I need, so don't really need them, but there's nothing wrong with creating tools for convenience. I might not want to type out the commands manually when I can use a simple GUI to conveniently carry out simple tasks. Some people would have us all chopping down trees with an axe while the chainsaw is locked in the shed!

Carry on with your great work. :)

If you find a brand new Fire TV that has older firmware, then maybe. . . otherwise you're SOL
[Fire TV General] KLit75:
Aftvnews has a serial number checker you can take to the store. My feeling is its a long shot. I was gonna say you can buy them on eBay for a $20 markup but after checking I see the prices have risen quite a bit (actually wondering if I should list one of mine) But they do have rootable ones for around $120. This is probably because the rooting process has gotten so tedious and I'm noticing lots of users posting about bricks.

I am thinking of buying the Sandisk Extreme Pro MicroSDHC 16GB for my HTC Sensation. Here is the link:

Is it worth it ? On Sandisks website it says that it can go up to 95Mb/s... but really class 10 can only go up to 25 mb/s, is that true ? Will it make any difference in speed on my HTC Sensation ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
Hey guys

I installed a nightly of CM11 a while ago and it broke my LTE. The consensus is that you need to install a stock-based ROM, then flash back to CM11 to get LTE working again.

I have flashed an MK5 modem, but am unsure of my bootloader compatibility with the current TouchWiz ROM's out there.

I am on the MF1 bootloader (Canadian phone). Do I need to upgrade/downgrade my bootloader to install any of these TW ROM's? Or can I just flash between TW and CM11 to my heart's consent?

The ROM's say you must be running a 4.3 modem and bootloader...but I can't find any info on whether or not MF1 is a 4.3 bootloader or not?

Thanks,

Elliott
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] letigre87:
I haven't tried cm11 yet but using c-rom I had these problems. under settings-mobile networks-preferred network type, check to see the right network is selected. If you don't have these options then my apologies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
MF1 is 4.1.2. The latest Canadian bootloader is MK5 (Which you can't downgrade from).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
Oh geez okay. So what should I do?

Sent from my S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Well usually you need the same modem as your bootloaders. Some of them are really picky so having the MK5 might be why your LTE isn't working.

You can grab the stock ROM in the general stickies and flash it with Odin though (make sure to backup) if flashing a 4.1.2 modem doesn't fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
Okay. What I'm most concerned about is flashing a 4.3 TW ROM with the bootloader that I have. Is having a bootloader from 4.1.2 a bad thing? Or can I install all ROM's with MF1?

Sent from my S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Only the downgrade is dangerous, you can upgrade without any problem. That being said, you could just flash the stock 4.1.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sugarkryptonite:
And if I flash a stock based ROM will it upgrade my bootloader to one I won't be able to downgrade from?

Any suggestions for ROM's?

Sent from my S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
It depends which one you decide to flash. You can flash stock 4.1.2 just like you could flash 4.3 (which you can't downgrade from).
