[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endl3ssx:
First off you should flash another version of the firmware on your phone just to double-check.

Try 4.2.2 and other versions of 4.4.2. If it doesn't work then try some of the custom firmwares like CarbonROM and others.

If it still doesn't work then your sim card reader is defective and needs to be replaced.

You can buy it from eBay (search for "S4 active sim tray") and order ascending by price. It costs about $6.2 without shipping.

It is fairly easy to replace, just pop a few screws out the back and it is the first little board that you see, disconnect the flex cable, take it out and put in the new board.

Alternatively if you cannot buy from ebay from various reasons, go to your local GSM repair shop and ask them to replace just the tray, it is compatible with multiple phones and it is replaceable by Hot Air rework.

Good day!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jtcox:
I have not been able to find a way to mount in the external card slot an sd card formatted (under linux) with an ext4 file system on it. I have a rooted P600 tablet running kitkat, with the external sd card fix. I'd be grateful to learn it's just plain impossible, or to have a pointer to a solution.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
So that is impossible, too. Like Ntfs.

Thankfully we have ExFat.

"True" custom roms may change that. There is one for the p600, and an early stage Cm11 for the p605.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ksj0823:
first time using the samsung exynos cpu and the cf auto root.

Does cf auto root always trip the KNOX? I mean like on other samsung devices.

Is this just like a beta version? and weeks later, is there going to be a perfect version that won't trip the KNOX?

Sorry this is just a newbie question. I am sorry if this makes other uncomfortable.

BUT, thanks. at least there is a way to ROOT. and just got my device 2 days ago.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] BeansTown106:
I cool will get it out as soon as I get home

It will always trip Knox it's a modified recovery that flashes superuser and then flashes stock recovery back

Hey Guys. I just flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-chagallwifi.tar using Odin3 v3.09 and after message ResOK my T805 is sitting in "Downloading...Do not turn off target" mode. Holding down the Power button doesn't reboot the device. I've held the Power button for up to 60 seconds without success. This usually works with all PCs and devices. Any tips on how to get my T805 to reboot?

Thanks!

UNBELIEVABLE!! Naturally as soon as I hit the Post button holding down the Power button rebooted my device. After some 30+ years in computers I know this sort of thing happens, like nothing works until you call the Tech support guy, and then everything works perfectly. C'est la vie! :D
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] _master_:
Please need help!

When I bought my T-800, I made CF-Autoroot. Everything was fine, root works and I cleaned all my bloatware.

Yestarday I decide to change the ROM.

I installed the PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.57.8 and then ThunderRom800

Great clean ROM but I have noticed that root is missing.

I tried to CF-Autoroot again, but nothing happend. Still without root.

Also CF-Autoroot revert PhilZ Touch Recovery to stock recovery.

May be anybody knows how to root from TWRP recovery?

Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

I had such problem.

Just press Power + Middle button + Volume Down and hold it.

You will reboot into message "If you want to begin a download mode press Volume UP, or press Volume Down to reboot into system."

So just press Volume Down.

Its much faster, no need to wait for a minutes.

is it anyways that root without tripping KNOX counter???

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Powerplayer1025:
there is absolutely no way to change it back to 0x0 its an efuse wich means once its popped it wont ever go back
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bobiscool07:
So does that mean that after its done, you cannot revert back to stock to be able to update to the next android version?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Phreaker47:
You can flash stock again, but you won't get that knox flag back to 0.

At this point, I'd recommend just going straight to flashing TWRP (with Odin) and the SuperSamsung ROM. Either way you're tripping the knox flag, so you might as well enjoy all the benefits.

Plus with custom recovery of course you now have nandroid backup/restore, which helps offset the fear of voiding your warranty.

extract the stock recovery from your device and send it to chainfire. he will eventually try to support it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Shonzz:
I'm not aware of how to extract the stock recovery, but I'm sure I can figure it out with some searching. Thanks for the suggestion!!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You don't need to extract anything from running firmware.

● Download the firmware package from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com (1 GB +).

● unzip/untar until you have the recovery.img.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] edan1979:
SM-T807 are not in both sites. so i gave that advice.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Shonzz:
Thank you both....I've done the research and think I know how to extract the recovery now. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Shonzz:
How to extract recovery

I've learned a few things since your suggestion and finally understand what adb is now, however, it seems that I cannot access the recovery image without being rooted. Kind of a catch 22 here....I don't mind doing the research, but can you point me in the right direction? Thanks a million....I love learning more about all of this. :)

Knox counter question

I am a little confused about the knox counter.

I understand that it will void the warranty but does that also mean that I will be unable to receive updates from Samsung,etc?

And if so, what could I do about updates?

In reality, all I am wanting to do is gain supervisor access to the external SD card (like sdfix).

You probably will not receive updates from Samsung. What you can do to receive those updates is to unroot and use Samsung kies to update or flash a stock ROM update with Odin.

Is it normal that after rooting, SuperSU process of disabling Knox takes so long? Like, I'm at 5 minutes and still going.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Restart and try again. Happened to me a few times lol. It does that sometimes on first boot on root.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Guntert:
What does disabling knox do?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Disabling knox makes your tab drain less battery and make root apps work without knox blocking it i think. Knox is pretty much useless so it was supposed to protect you against viruses or something which doesnt really work. I found out that disableing knox make your battery last a bit longer and frees up some ram.

Root and EDS by Sovworks not able to open containers

I just rooted my Samsung T800 using the above plus ran SDFix and I cannot get EDS to open my container on my SD card. I get a Context initialization failed error that EDS attributes to KiKat sd-card restrictions. I also checked my platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and it is correct. I also tried to create a container and got a readwrite error. I know thsi can work as I had it one time on an older rooted Samsung Tab s (8.9 I believe)

Another weird thing is I can only install the lite version of EDS as google play gives me error "Unknown error code during application installation:"-24". EDS does suggest that another reason one could have problems as "is EDS package modification. E.g., you'll get this error if you remove Google Play dependency from EDS package." Is that what this the result of? I have no clue what this means.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] mhonard:
FIXED:

Apparently one line in the permissions file was not updated by SDFix shown in red below. Once added, rebooted and everything works as expected.

What happened if there is a firmware update? Is there such a thing on tablet since its not a smartphone.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] acraigl:
Amazon has it for the cheapest I've seen, right now -- $379 for the 16GB version. There are updates, pretty frequent, actually. I've gotten 3 since October. Rooting will break your ability to obtain updates OTA, but you can still apply them manually via kies or Odin (assuming you download the update file separately). The only downside is that you will lose root once the update is applied. The good news is that this root process has worked consistently to re-root after each update so far.

You can disable some (most?) of the bloatware without root, so you may want to try that first. This tablet is so performant (IMO) that hiding the bloatware is enough for me -- they do not seem to affect performance. I rooted to use Titanium Backup and use some important Xposed modules that make my life easier. HTH.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] phonefreedom:
After having a similar problem as noted above, I found this post in a recent thread....

"Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work."

So I downloaded/installed SuperSU from the Play Store and now everything appears to be working correctly again. I'm hoping that posting it here it will solve both our problems. :):D
