[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] burgertime78:
I just towelrooted. It worked! I was watching this video http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/r...nt-even-at-t-verizon-20-seconds-flat-0155617/ and I did it while I Was watching the video. On my device, it did not even reboot - i just said "should be rooted" so I loaded a root checker and sure enough, it is rooted! took all of about 8 seconds.

Now, on to a rom.

I'm confused now. Why can I not use CM? I read about SafeStrap and I understand it's sort of a dual boot setup - I get that. So, in a sense, I'm not really installing FRESH, a new rom - at least not in the sense that you format your hard disk and install a new OS. However, what ARE my choices in roms? I know the whiz touch, and now the golden eye, plus the google modified - but what else? I want something cut down, simple and battery friendly. I'm not a super power user and I don't require much. Actually, battery life is the most important thing to me.

This is my business phone - I use Gmail, SMS, maybe take a few pictures - and I listen to podcasts. very basic user. Advice?

MDL builds have an exploit that allows the kernel to flash. That is loki-doki. Bypasses the Sammy security check to allow this. There is no exploit yet for post MDL builds. Hence you can only flash stock Touch Wiz kernels, thus only roms that have them. So, no aosp based roms. In one of the threads in General that talk about MK2/NC1 etc is a list of roms for you. I forget the technical coding side of SafeStrap. But, it puts roms in System bypassing the bootloader. But, no way of doing that with aosp roms yet.

I am old and don't retain things much anymore if they are not very important to me. So, although I have read up on this stuff, and have a "45 year old" Engineering Degree, I don't need SafeStrap having the MDL bootloader. So, don't remember all that I have read. But, what I said is the basics of it. :)

Your roms need to have SafeStrap option in the rom thread's OP page. If not listed, it won't work. Having said all that things like Towelroot are new and more options may come along. :good:

I recently got an unlocked Verizon Galaxy S4 to use with T-Mobile. I live in an area that gets HSPA+ and LTE 4G. I have manually configured my APN settings to recognize T-Mobile, but I can only get an Edge network connection. I was wondering if anybody could help me fix this problem, because this should work. I even have 4.3 installed, which unlocked an extra 4G band.

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.

I received OTA update notification last night.

Will I loose root if I allow it to install?

If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
Awesome. thank you

Hope someone has time to put up a flashable zip [emoji4]
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.
[T-Mobile LG G2] hippiesky:
So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.

I opened up the gates of hell. First installed international MJ9 ROMs. Then erased my internal after backing up EFS to the internal... derp.

Now I don't have IMEI info. it's NULL.

I am growing tired of reading non-Verizon-GNII topics not helping much to solve this issue.

And for some reason my phone is keep spamming "FACTORY MODE ON"

I wonder if I unroot my phone and upgrade it to OTA 4.4.2 it will fix everything.

Any ideas?

What should I do to go back to stock 4.3 or 4.4.2?

P.S: Got out of Factory Mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vlx600d:
I would try to odin back to factory for what ever you had prior to this. Don't take the ota or you'll be stuck there. . And if you weren't already on 4.3 don't go it either. Totally different hell if you do, one with locked bootloader and no root access...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wjdzm:
I had alliances Rom 4.3 before all this happened.. What do you mean by Odin back to factory?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vlx600d:
In the android development section for the vzw note 2 there's a sticky on returning to stock. Follow the path for flashing 4.3 factory image in odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wjdzm:
Ah nice thank you!

Is this actually unrooting my phone? I mean will this lock my bootloader and prevent me from installing custom roms in the future?

Thanks so much for your advise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vlx600d:
Yes it will. That's why u wanna flash whatever u had before. If you had 4.3, flash 4.3. If you had an older image flash it. The thread has everything you need. If you can do 4.1 then you can unlock the bootloader again. If you flash 4.3 you can root but not unlock. If you flash 4.4 you are bone stock no root possibly forever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wjdzm:
Sweet... I just installed rooted stock 4.3 by beanstown106 and everything's back to normal.

All thanks to you vlx600d.

I know I asked you this once before but I just want to double check:

- I am able to flash 4.4.2 ROM from my 4.3 ROM without a problem?

- Can I flash 4.3 back from 4.4.2 ROMs?

Thanks so much!

For anyone with my kind of problem, try installing Official Rooted Stock 4.3 and flash the modem via Odin per the instruction in the link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You should be fine to flash 4.4.2 and revert back as well

Hi guys,

my gf recently bought a Xperia SP and for an unknown reason my SP and her's have the same mac-adresse and because of that the same ip-adresse when connected to the same wifi :eek:

Both devices have Existenz 4.0 installed and bootloader unlocked (on 3.3 the issue was there too)

So two questions:

- Is it possible that I accidentaly changed the mac-adresse of one device?

- What to do now? Contact Sony or try to change it manually?

I'm really confused :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
You can spoof your mac adress with apps but it would be best to bring both phones back to the store you bought it from and tell them whats wrong

I contacted Sony support today but they only told me that this is only possible if I rooted my phone and because of that I get no support :(

So i repaired via Sony PC Companion and now my phone has a different mac-addresse^^

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Berlinetta:
Hi everyone!

I finally decided to root my (old) Galaxy S2.

Sadly, just when I turn it on, it's stuck at the white AT&T screen with the AT&T logo in the center. I've tried everything with taking battery out and whatnot.

I also tried recovery mode with the Vol + and - buttons.

I believe the power button is jammed as my phone automatically turns on when the battery is placed in it. Because of this, I can't even use it in recovery mode. I also searched on the forums that many people have issues with the power button not functioning correctly, but for some reason, I can only take apart half the phone-- as in the plastic piece that covers up all the circuitry underneath, half of it stays on, stuck to it.

Could someone please me out here? I'd definitely like to be able to use my S2 as more of an iPod as I'm using an LG G2.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
When inserting the battery turns the phone on, it means that the power button has failed. It needs to be replaced for the phone to be fully useful. It is not the type or repair that can easily and practically be done at home, as it requires some specialized soldering equipment. You can send it out for repair. Mobile Tech Videos in LA will do the repair for $40.00 including return shipping. There is an ebay seller in the Chicago area that will do it for around $32.00 including return shipping. The ebay seller has a youtube video of the repair process which you can watch to see what it takes.

To get the phone going without a power button, proceed as follows:

Use Odin3 v1.85 to install the stock Gingerbread UCKH7 full distribituon from the Download Repository. (This is assuming that the phone is currently running a later version of the operating system, or you don't know which os for sure. You need Gingerbread to be able to complete the next step.)

Next, use Odin3 v1.85 to install the Siyah Gingerbread kernel v2.6.14. Download the tar version to flash in Odin. This kernel contains a touch recovery which will allow you to enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset, so do that next. The phone should now boot into the system.

From the Siyah Gingerbread kernel you can flash the firmware of your choice. Make sure you select a firmware that has a kernel with a touch recovery.

There are apps such as smart screen on that will allow you to turn the display on and off without the power button.

Hope this helps. If you have questions, please ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Berlinetta:
Thanks for the response!

I decided to not replace the lock button circuitry, and just use an alternative app that root will allow.

During this process, will my data be deleted? I have quite a lot of pictures and other texts on it that I'd like to save. I was an idiot for not transferring them out before I got my new device.

Also, I am on 4.2.2 TouchWiz... Should I be weary of anything else on the S2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I think you must mean 4.1.2 TouchWiz, as that is the latest stock Samsung distribution for the SII. Would that be stock UCMD8, or SHOstock3? What kernel do you have installed? If you have SHOstock3 with the Jebo kernel, that is a touch recovery, and you should be able to enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset to get your phone to boot into the system. The stock kernel of course does not have touch, so it will not be possible in the stock kernel.

You won't lose your pictures. You will lose any text messages if that is what you mean by other texts. Basically, the data partition will be cleared, but the sd card will remain intact. So, anything that you have on the sd card will still be there.

If you install the stock Gingerbread, you will lose everything that is normally in the data partition, all installed applications, text messages, contacts, memos, etc. as they will be overwritten. Performing a wipe data/factory reset also deletes them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Berlinetta:
I think my 4.1.2 is stock. I haven't done anything to it.

I have a 2GB Micro-SD card in the S2, but the majority of my pictures are on the phone memory.

I really would like to root my S2 without losing my pictures and whatnot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can safely follow my instructions without losing your pictures. Performing a wipe data/factory reset will wipe the data partition, but it will not touch the USB memory, also commonly referred to as the internal sdcard. Below, I will give some additional instructions, in case you need them.

If you are unfamiliar with using Odin, I can post a set of detailed instructions. You can download Odin3 v1.85 from a link in the Download Repository. (see my signature) When you open Odin on the pc desktop, uncheck the Auto Reboot item so that the only two check boxes that will be checked are F. Reset Time, and the one nest to the PDA slot, where you will put the firmware ---.tar.md5 file. After the flash is successful, pull the battery to turn the phone off, then proceed with the next step.

Again, leave Auto Reboot unchecked. After the flash is successful, pull the battery to turn the phone off, then boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. Since this is a touch recovery, you can select items and do all the other functions with screen gestures, so you don't need the power button. After you perform the wipe data/factory reset, the phone should boot into system successfully. At this point, it would be a good idea to copy all your pictures onto your PC as a backup so that you don't lose them.

At this point, picking a custom firmware that is already rooted, such as SHOstock3 v4.0 and flashing it from within the Siyah CWM recovery would be the easiest and most sensible way to proceed.

Alternatively, if you want stock, you can use Odin to flash the latest stock 4.1.2, I777UCMD8 which you can download from the download repository, and then root the phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Berlinetta:
Yes, I would like a detailed instruction on using Odin.

Do I turn the S2 on just by keeping the battery in, then connecting to my PC?

Also, where do I get this tar.md5 file?

Update: Phone finally passed the white AT&T logo screen. Phone is really laggy and seems to have reset my logins and whatnot...
