[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
If you have OTA'd past 4.3 its just a simple download the images from toms server for 4.3 and fastboot flash them.

You can get the stock 4.3 images from : http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Tegra Note 7&folder=Roms Stock 4.3.

These files here is infact CWM/TWRP flashable zips so its just a case of unlocking the bootloader and flashing either CWM or TWRP then placing the stock 4.3 rom zip onto a SDCard and flashing it.

But before you flash the zip make totally sure you wipe the following partitions

Boot

System

Cache

UserData

This will downgrade you back to 4.3
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] subzero82:
In TWRP i can only wipe system,cache,data but not boot.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
Ok wipe what you can the flashing of boot.img should wipe it before hand. Goodluck
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
[MENTION=1923209]subzero82[/MENTION] How did it go with the downgrade?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] JakeTheOneDude:
Does this mean you have to unlock your bootloader?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] nielo360:
Im getting terrible battery life, I got it new and updated to 4.4,

with playing gangstar vegas and answering email i got on only about 4 hours on 30% brightness balanced mode

is this normal?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
I don't know if it apply to our device but it mean (on the readings) that KitKat suffer of a serious bug : The OS doesn't let some apps to go to deep sleep and the Wakelock are terrible.

That point and some others (more personnal) make me think to revert to 4.3
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] nielo360:
there is nothing on nvidia's offical site, I dont know if they are still supporting the device to fix this issue. I will try reverting to 4.3 and see how it goes, The nvidia shield has the same issue in 4.4
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
Please can you describe the exact process to downgrade to 4.3. I'm affraid to brick my device.

And do you think after downgrade, the CWM backups are compatible? I mean : I want to be able to restore 4.3 or 4.4 as I wish in order to do testings?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
[MENTION=5072988]chp2[/MENTION] if your afraid of bricking your tablet then why are you after downgrading your tablet in the first place.

Look its format

System

Cache

UserData

Then flash the 4.3 Stock zip and boom your on 4.3. CWM backups will still work regardless of what OS your so long as your using the Custom Recovery.

But as i said if your frightened of bricking your tablet you shouldn't be doing this.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
LOL, But thanks for your help.

For me the TN7 is new and since I'm not yet familiar with it I prefer to be carefull.

And I prefer to ask before doing bad things. Perhaps in some days I'll laugh of it :D
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
LOL, i understand what you mean. But for me it was first day i got it, I rooted it and was messing with APX off the bat. Yes my first one failed because of faulty hardware so i got it replaced and yet again i Rooted it and started messing with going back and forth between 4.3 and 4.4.2.

Everything will break at one point in its life time. Tablets and phones are there to be abused mate,

If you end up in a reboot loop so long as you have your 4.4.2 backup your can just restore that and your be working again. If you brick you have APX to fix it.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] subzero82:
Hello.Succsesfull downgraded from 4.4 to 4.3 after hour of fighting,couple of restoring backups,using supertool 1.5(i dont know does it help,nothing was happening).I was using hacktrix2006 instruction.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
[MENTION=1152755]ZubZero[/MENTION]82 So you ended up flashing via fastboot then ??
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] subzero82:
I think that supertool maybe change bootloader and flash zip through twrp.

Update

Flashed 4.4 zip through TWRP,cleared System Cache UserData ,restored bacup of 4.3(error if try to install stock 4.3 without restoring),flashed stock 4.3 zip.Thanks for help.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
Finally.

I managed to downgrade to 4.3 and to block OTA popups.

I got some thrils when I had to re-install CWM but everything went ok.

Until now, no problems to report.

Thanks again hacktrix2006 :good:
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
no problems. I hope you just chmoded the file TegraOTA.apk in the /system/app folder (I think it was there)

If not the best way to disable OTA's is using the following command as SU

chmod 000 /system/app/TegraOTA.apk then reboot the tablet.

This will then keep the file there but make it so that it can't be read wrote to or even execute. Then if you want to OTA again you just change it back to chmod 644 /system/app/TegraOTA.apk and reboot again.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] subzero82:
I cant use chmod on TegraOTA.apk -read only file system.Used su in terminal emulator(root@tegranote:/).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
Simply type as root the following

To kill the OTA System

mount -o rw,remount /system

then

chmod 000 /systemapp/TegraOTA.apk

To reenable to the OTA System

mount -o rw,remount /system

then

chmod 644 /systemapp/TegraOTA.apk
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] chp2:
I experience restore problems. Perhaps you have the answer.

I'm trying to play with my backups and if I restore the KitKat backup other the JB, it rest in a non ending boot phase (stay in bootanim). And I have to re_activate CWM to restore back JB.

Any idea?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
I can't tell you why this is happening easy. You need to find a 4.4.2 boot.img and flash that if i have a funny feeling that CWM didn't backup the boot partition. I use TWRP without issues so not sure.

But what your telling me sound so like a boot.img issue. So find a 4.4.2 boot.img and using fastboot try a fastboot boot boot.img and see if it does boot if it does then do a fastboot flash boot boot.img!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] CrazyPizza:
Hello,

I just bought an Advent Vega (europe retailer i think) Tegra Note 7 on ebay and it's coming with 4.4.2-2.5 OTA installed (bootloader unlocked).

I read here that it drains the battery out easily and has a few bugs so I am already wondering how to downgrade it to 4.3.

I have never tried to flash a firmware on an android device but I saw Toms videos and downloaded SuperToolkit 1.5 + Tegra Note 7 official 4.3 from Toms site.

Now from what I understand, I have to place the zipped firmware on the SD card, then boot into recovery and flash it from there right? Could someone write down the exact steps or post some images showing what I have to do? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] johnthepig:
I want to wait for the 4G version of the Moto G, mostly because of the sim card slot. But I'm wondering what are the chances we'll see the big roms (CM, PAC, Paranoid Android, etc.) built for this model, since it's a rerelease of an existing model?

Since it has 4G it wouldn't be compatible with the existing Moto G roms, ie. different hardware inside.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] waffleking:
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) which I previously rooted via the Open1Your1Eyes0 pwn script. Everything was great except I wanted to update to the latest version and my phone failed with each attempt. I tried to unroot it using Odin to flash the VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.md5 stock ROM image.

That failed and now it's stuck on the ODIN MODE "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message screen. The phone won't boot. If I hold Vol Down I can still go to the Downloading firmware screen, but I've tried flashing 3 other stock ROM's and nothing will work.

Any suggestions? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Not 100% sure as to whether this will work but I had this happen to me about 2 months ago and I THINK it was the "Full Wipe ( AKA Emeregency Repair)" file from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 that fixed it. Also since it says Emergency Repair as Kies would if you could fix it using that I assume its for this purpose, may be wrong though but worth a shot. I'd probably be more help if i wasn't like brain dead atm but once it goes away i'll re-think this and if i decide I gave you incorrect advice i'll edit this or post again with the correct information.

Anyways just follow the instructions there on the Full wipe one and report back if it works. Quite confident it will but as with anyone I could be wrong. NO GUARANTEES
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Before you flash MDK, you first have to know what build and bootloader you're on. Apparently you're not running a MDK bootloader, and consequently can't flash MDK.

What baseband and bootloader did you start from? If you don't know, then why did you choose to flash MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] waffleking:
I got it working using the Full Wipe instructions you linked to. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doalittledanse:
I want to root the phone but keep the stock CM 11s and the stock recovery so OTAs continue to work. fastboot boot recovery.img doesn't seem to work any more and the towel root vulnerability is fixed in CM. Suggestions?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
thats not the right fastboot command to flash a new recovery, but you dont need a different recovery to root.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Can the OPO be rooted from stock recovery?

I've not seen the stock recovery yet, but does it have CWM functions in it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
no. but thats if you choose the recovery root method. root consists of two parts, a su binary that gives normal users full device write control, and a superuser app that allows android apps to use the su binary. when you use recovery to root, it just flashes these two files to the system partition and you have root. its a failsafe method, but requires you to use a custom recovery that lets you flash whatever you want to the phone. since ota updates use the stock recovery to update, if you replace the stock recovery you cant install ota updates. there are other methods that use fastboot and adb usb debugging exploits to copy the root binary to system, but i havent looked into what works. i planned to do that after i get my oneplus.

i used cf-auto-root on my brothers nexus 5. it keeps stock recovery in place, and uses fastboot to root. ota updates still work after that. however you loose root everytime you update because it wipes and flashes a new system partition. not that big a deal, you just reroot after updates. it would do that whether or not you were to replace recovery. the only way around that is to use a prerooted rom that would include root in the system image. cyanogenmod has their own superuser app thats just not included in this rom so they can get google certification. i imagine they have some way to get it installed easily.

I can't find how to disable the auto-capitalization of first word ?
[General Topics] Gajet:
Under WM5 It's Start -> Settings -> Input -> Options -> untick 'Capitalize first letter of sentance'

I'm pretty sure from memory that WM 2003 was much the same.
[General Topics] chris247:
Unselecting 'capitalize first letter of sentence' has no effect, at least on my device. I wonder why because I only have the default input method of wm5 ?

A search on the forum, make me see that some other user had a problem with auto-capitalization (but no solution):

this 'capitalize first letter of sentence' option is really not working.

I just tried on a fresh new wm5 image (on a TyTN, a Wizard and the PocketPC emulator), and the option has NO effect. It is always auto-capitalized.

Gajet, does disabling auto-capitalization work for you ?

Doesn't work on my Charmer too. I'm using the input Word recognition.

D'oh.

I was very happy when I wandered by this post, but it didn't work for me, either.

I have the new 2.26 T-Mobile ROM, and all sorts of things aren't working, though. >_<
[General Topics] chris247:
So I am happy to see I am not the only one as this thing is driving me mad.

Maybe this option triggers a registry key change that is not done properly done by WM5.

Are there any people that know where is this regestry key to force the 'capitalize first letter of sentence' to DISABLED ?
[General Topics] Gajet:
Sorry for slow reply. For me the option works under Word and notes, however I do notice that adding a new entry in my calendar will continue to be capitalised.

So I think it is dependany on the application being used. What is it giving you most headache?

Personally I like the auto-capitals so I'd never noticed an issue.

[General Questions and Answers] Ncow07:
Hi, I have the UK 4G galaxy tab 3 8.0. I've been using a Three network voice/text/data sim in it for a few months, till I tried to go on the the browser and it said 'Your Sim Will Only Work in Your Phone'. Tried everything I could think of to get it to work. I called the network explained that my tab was a phone because I've been making calls off of it. They was having none of it and said my sim will no longer work for data inside my tab....killer!! It's my only source of internet and I haven't got another device to use it with. I was thinking possibly if I root it, there may be a utility which allows me to change what my tab is seen as. For example change it so it's recognised as a phone and then my sim will start working again. It's never going to work again as it is at the moment. I've rooted it before and didn't really want to do it again, because it kept screwing my data connection, I unrooted and it's been fine for weeks. Please someone help! If I have missed any details, sorry.

P.s the tab came from Vodafone UK with a sim contract that is not being used anymore, I bought the tab near enough brand new but still pre-owned.

Thanks anyway

I'm running MK2 rooted and recently my phone stopped charging. I've tried everything to get it to work, I'm fairly certain it's a hardware failure. I know I can probably replace the connector myself, but I prefer warranty. I've backed up everything (via cloud) and now I want to restore to factory settings. I can't use ODIN because the problem also prevents me from connecting to a computer.

Is it safe to perform the phone's "Factory data reset". Will have restore to factory setup?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
It should work just fine. Keep in mind the root binary is installed to system though so you might get custom flag for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tronicus:
I don't think factory reset works on rooted phones that have been encrypted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dwestall:
My phone is not encrypted, but thanks for the tip.

I'm only rooted and haven't installed a custom recovery or custom rom. If I factory reset, can at&t tell my phone was once rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Yes, the su binary will stay there and trip the custom flag. If you want to remove that, either download and flags the ODIN package for your system or use SuperSU to unroot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dwestall:
Can't use ODIN, the USB port doesn't work. So, I un-rooted in SuperSU, restarted the phone, then performed the Factory Data Reset. Everything is now reset, the phone still doesn't charge, the USB port still doesn't work. However, now when I turn on the phone I get the "Custom" lock icon. Not sure what I did wrong. I guess I'll have to repair it myself now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
You might of still had busybox, or if you had frozen system apps or something. I'd say see if you can use towelroot real quick, install a busybox app, remove it, and then unroot again. You also need to remove safestrap if you ever had that. Before doing that, restart your phone a few times though, as sometimes it won't change immediately or will say custom after a fresh install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dwestall:
I never installed Safestrap, but I did freeze a number of system apps using Titanium Backup and I never unfroze them before I did the unroot and factory reset. I also had Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed module still installed, which I now understand can cause issues.

What would you suggest I do to get rid of the "custom" lock? I've restarted the phone 6-7 times and the lock is still there. Would running Towelroot still work with my situation? Is there anything else I need to do before I unroot again, like unfreeze apps or revert the Wanam Xposed settings?

Thanks for you help.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusty-ragster:
hey fellows need your kind help..

a shopkeeper over here is selling an unlocked m8 i am a noob when it comes to htc because i have only used samsung phones..

now when i turn this m8 on the main boot screen it says that the phone is for developer use only in a red font on the bottom of the screen (similar screen shot attached) and i am not sure what this means...

secondly for the sake of info the phone is already rooted and running venom rom....

i have been looking around for info and people are saying something about s-off and on now i get the gist of what is s-of and on but my question is that how do i check that is it s-off or on? and if i buy a phone with s-on will i be able to turn it off? secondly i looked around in settings for the model number of that phone but due to the shortage of time i could not find it i went to settings-about phone and all it said on the model option was htc one m8...how can i check the model number of the phone? now correct me if i am wrong here i am looking for the model number because in samsung there are 2 main models the note 3 for ex has n900 and n9005 and all the good roms are made for the n9005..

my main purpose of buying a phone is to root it straight away and flash aosp and other roms on it...basically i want an m8 which has the most developer support meaning all the roms like PA,GPE,CM etc are supported so can you please enlighten me about the model number or any other specifics of the phone which can point to it having the most developer support and guide me how to check that before i buy it....your help would be greatly appreciated.

and can someone tell me the key combinations to enter into fast boot and recovery mode?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Not sure if you mean GSM unlocked or bootloader unlocked (not sure if you even need to GSM unlock with the international variant) but if it's bootloader unlocked then it is most likely S-OFF too. You can check whether its S-OFF or S-ON by powering the phone off and booting it up with power + volume down (bootloader mode) and it should show S-OFF or S-ON at the top somewhere in the interface. To get out just use the volume keys and navigate to reboot and if it doesn't show reboot then navigate to hboot/fastboot, whichever one shows the reboot option. Also where it says "developer use only" I'm quite sure that means the phone is either S-OFF or bootloader unlocked, not 100% sure as to this though.

You can check your model number by navigating to Settings > About > Phone identity, it'll be the second one. & on the developer support topic, I assume you bought the international variant since you're posting in that forum and well luckily for you I believe it has more support than the carrier versions such as Verizon, Sprint, etc.

Volume down + power button = Bootloader mode & I think Volume Up + Power button is Recovery but it isn't working on my device so can't confirm.

Apologies if some of this is inaccurate, I have the Verizon variant and haven't explored into the international variant as much as I have my own. Still most of it should be accurate and answer your questions.

oki so I went to check the phone again sadly I could not enter into fast boot mode maybe I hat to check that in settings which I forgot to do...however I got some additional information regarding the device which is that the phone is a display unit imported from the UK by display unit I mean that the phones that are displayed in the stores for people to come and use....so what do you guys think about that
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Display units here in the UK - AKA Demo models, don't always come with Radio's on board. For example - The Note 3 has no radio on board, or the HW for it. Yet the M7 did. -

If the unit has a radio on board then it'll be fine.

Word of caution though most display models from the UK that end up elsewhere tend to be stolen units and are often blacklisted. I'd ask where the reseller got it from just to be sure.

i am assuming by radio you mean that does it get a signal? then yes it can get a signal i have yet to check a 3g signal though will do that before buying...well he is a well reputed seller over here but just to be on the safe side can you tell me the drawbacks if i buy the phone and it ends up being blacklisted?
