[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akbar11:
Hi,

I have been having an issue lately with my GPS. The GPS is not able to find any satellite. I am using the stock rom (non-rooted) and my GPS cannot find anything just keep saying "Searching for GPS".

I have tried the following:

- Using an diffrent rom (CM 11)

- Clean Wipe & reinstalled stock rom

- Tightening the screws at the back

- Opening the note 3 and making the contacts of the note 3 better

Yet, I do not get any lock on my GPS. My Note 3 is the LTE Variant. Running the latest "United Kingdom BTU" Firmware.

Anyone got suggestions? Other than take it an repair shop etc... please post very appreciated!

Hey dude I am having the same issue as you, noticed this is a problem ever since the new Samsung ROM came out (4.4.2 or whatever the latest is).

I know in the US AT&T users had major issues with it but I think the problem is with the Samsung ROM as they tried to save power but in doing so they screwed up the GPS.

I am hoping someone has an answer as I think this issue is more common than most people want to admit.

Gps not issue.s5 port rom, make issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalzero:
Dude you probably have an issue with the S5 ROM but I am pretty sure akbar11 has the same issue as I have:

I can confirm there is an issue as it appears Samsung have now released the an updated (I switched to the stock ROM and it prompted me to upgrade to a new version so I searched for the correct Firmware).

akbar11 you need this firmware dude:

https://mega.co.nz/#!TcUxRLgT!AvHOsV92itQL8l3daG_GuF_LC10erdOlNuCN4D408YQ

Apparently a few issues are resolved including GPS with some enhancements to the OS and I am pretty sure the current ROMs based on 4.4.2 have the GPS issue.

Hope this helps.

Bad news, seems the GPS issue is present and I believe most ROMs using this new version of the firmware still have the issue.

WTF did Samsung do...4.3 was great, GPS worked first time but now it's a shambles.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
0) Clarify what phone you have and in what region and on what provider you are using it.

1) Use a simple program like "GPS Test" (the free version should be fine) to see quickly what kind of problem you encounter.

2) Do some tests in parallel with another phone in the very same spot at the very same time.

3) Test with Note 3 connected to mobile data exclusively.

4) Wait a little more, without AGPS the GPS-lock can take 10-15 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
I myself had issues with GPS on every rom. Wasn't finding any satellites. I followed the below steps and now it is working fine. Credit goes to whoever originally wrote it.

Follow these steps:

On you dialer type in this *#0011#

Press menu key > press back

Press menu key > press key input > Q

Press menu key > press key input > 0000

Wait for a few seconds and the screen options will change

Press on UMTS

Press on Common

Press on NV Rebuild

Press on NV Rebuild

Press on System, Protocol, GPS, IMS

Wait for 30 seconds and then shutdown your phone

Power On phone

GPS should work fine now

Recommend to use GPS STATUS app to reset and download AGPS Data

I have a T-Mobile HTC One M7 that is partially bricked. When I purchased my phone, I wanted to try out the Google Play edition. After successfully running Android 4.4.2 for a few months, my camera got the purple tint. As a result, I have to send in my phone for a replacement. As part of the process to install the RUU file for Android 4.4 with Sense 6, which included enabling S-ON and relocking my device, my device does not detect a recovery nor a ROM. I tried unlocking my device again, but the device won't let me. My phone can still connect to ADB and fastboot. As of now, my phone is stuck in Relocked and S-ON.

I ran through the steps that is necessary to unlock the bootloader. Since I can't access my rom, my result will depend on fastboot. The installation went by alright, but I did not see the "Unlock Bootloader?" screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adwraj:
This is my first question on XDA. I'm sorry if I'm posting it wrong or something.

I'm flashed CM11 on a Galaxy S2 and I'm trying to re-partition the 2GB internal storage.

Essentially I would like to have all the 16GB(13.5) as my internal storage and also use an EXTERNAL SD(Physical card) as the INTERNAL SD CARD.

I tried these posts and also used some of the files given in it

It worked well, but I want the phone to ignore the existing INTERNAL SD CARD partition and use my EXTERNAL SD as the INTERNAL SD CARD.

I'm not sure if I'm placing the question right but I hope some one can help me out.

Hi, I would like to ask you guys if the device can be unroot after it has been rooted with Towelroot?

I heard many people said about using SuperSU to remove the root.

However, I am not sure if the unroot process is safe and be able to give me a full warranty back.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick.delaserda:
I've unrooted my s5 before and it wasn't hard. Just flash an unroot pda with Odin. Saves all your data. But I think it will trip the Knox counter, so It'll void your warranty. So I'm not 100% sure if you'll be able to keep your warranty
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Dude, what advice is this? :crying: Flash an unroot PDA? What do you mean with that?. Just unroot from within the superSU app, flash a stock rom and do a data factory reset. Takes about 5-7 minutes if done correctly.

Flash an unroot tar file. That's what I was told. I did it and it worked fine. No more root. But you can unroot with supersu?? I never knew that

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeTut:
Still a bit confused

Confused is my normal state...

In Super User the only options I have are for OTA survival and for temp unroot.

To unroot would I only need to select the temp unroot option then go into the S5's settings and do a factory reset (under the backup/restore selections) or would I temp unroot with superuser, then go into Odin (on my pc) and flash a factory rom?

With the Odin option of doing this,if it is necessary, where can I get the factory rom for Version's S5 for this process?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klacenas:
I just unrooted using SuperSu's full unroot option and wiped cache from the stock recovery and boom. Worked for me.

Thanks klacenas, Where/how did you wipe the cache "from the stock recovery"? Also as an aside... did this cause you to lose any apps or files (photos, music, txt files type stuff) when you did the unrooting?

By Unrooting only, you will not lost any of your personal data that stored on your phone. However when you do factory reset, your personal data that stored on the phone will be lost.

I was able to unroot, I used Odin and a rom I had gotten when I first attempted to root a month or so ago (G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_G900VVRU1ANCG_HOME.tar.md5) but checking the device it still said "custom"... that was this morning about 330am.... change 10....

yeah me too! like when the phone was rooted i didnt see that unlock or custom. my satus said official. after i unrooted it with supersu i check my device status and went back to official. rebooted the phone i didnt see the unlock or custom on startup. i thought everthing was good. acouple minutes later i restarted my phone just to make sure i was good, what do know that unlock and custom appeared again.smh i wonder why odin does work. why it keeps failing

Ok I just tried to check my device status just now while it is still in ROOT.

However, when I tried to reboot and check again it is said Custom.

I have been using root for few days already.

Tonight I will unroot the phone. Flash stock rom with odin and factory restore. Also reboot to make sure if it is official. If it is official I take futher step. I will left it overnight and try to reboot again in the morning. I will let you guys know how it goes.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb_alphamale:
Obviously you never flashed:

- a custom rom

-a custom kernel

-a custom recovery

Yes you can root without tripping KNOX but then if you want one from the above you trip KNOX. So far it is unavoidable and after that there is no going back to 0x0 status.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeTut:
A non programmers guess

A guess from left field would be that once you've rooted, some of the files (structure within the file) would have changed to of allowed root access, by flashing the stock rom, your re-writing the files that were changed during rooting back to their original state.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minin0la:
After unrooted my phone and left it over night. My device' status is still remain as official.

Ok tmadekush, I have tried to unroot my phone. This is how I did.

1. Open the 'SuperSU' app

2. Press 'SETTINGS'

3. Scroll down until you see 'Full Unroot' and then tab on it.

4. When it is done, the device will exit the app.

5. Do a reboot.

6. Use a app named 'Root Checker' to check if you still have root access or not.

7. If no you can proceed to do flash stock rom. If not redo the process of 1-6.

8. Open 'Odin3_v3.09' on your PC.

9. Reboot device in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

10. Connect the device to the PC and make sure there is blue sign in Odin 3

11. Check that 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' are ticked and the rest are not.

12. Click on 'AP' and choose the firmware of your device. (If you do not have it, you can download at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/)

13. Let it check MD5.

14. When it is done. You may press Start and wait for it to do its job

15. If everything is good. It will said 'PASS'

16. When the device boot up. Turn off the device.

17. Reboot the device in Recovery Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up buttons)

18. Do a wipe data/factory reset.

19. Reboot the device, do all the setup and check for Device status.

i would like some help please

Hey guys i had a rooted device but had to wipe my device because messed up my pin code. Anyways i lost everything and it returned the phone to stock without root but i still have a custom status.

How do i get rid of this custom status? before i try this i need to find the firmware for my model of phone. I dont know where to start.

My model is

SM-G900F international (02UK)

android - 4.4.2

baseband - G900FXXU1ANG2

ive tried on the samsung website to get the correct model firmware. Seems nothing matches my input.

If i get the firmware file then i can proceed to the steps from another post.

hope for some help

============================

I finally got this sorted. I found the firmware file for my device. Used Odin to flash it over. It must of replaced some of the files left behind from the root. Before hand I didn't get to un-root fully with Supersu as I forgot my pin. I then had to wipe the phone completely starting afresh. From there I realized that I had a custom status (because it left modified files behind i believe). I thought that maybe I would have to re-root (I tried with towelroot but was unsuccessful because I updated my device after forgetting pin). Wiping the phone caused it to update to a 3rd of july firmware meaning towelroot wasn't compatible. So rooting again wasn't an option.

Turns out after flashing with Odin replaced the modified files with original ones and now the custom status changed to official. Alot of worrying gone. Delighted.
