[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
The heat sink is there for a reason and I think it's really important for the XZ, because even with the heat sink the phone can become really hot.

If you could unlock the bootloader, you could down clock+voltage the processor and GPU to prevent it from becoming to hot. I'm not sure if thermal paste will work. It will help for sure, but I'm not sure if the paste will stay at the same spot over time, if it doesn't you'll only be extending the problem.

He could try applying the thermal paste and putting a thin metal plate over the paste. That way the plate can keep the paste together.

I'm not using Gmail anymore, and I'm wondering what happens if I just delete my Google account in Settings/Account. Would I still be able to use the Playstore, for example, so I could just download the Google apps I want?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jherbold:
Welcome

This has been my experience - without a google account, none of the apps that require Google Play Services will function correctly or may fail to sync. Play store, play music, hangouts, keep, gmail, calendar, contacts, wallet, drive etc. The phone should function fine otherwise. Some people prefer to use their phone without a google account and are willing to give up the convenience of their services.

i have been thinking about this too, with kitkat it was easy to disable location service which helps with battery life, and now it seems like google is accessing my info more often, . the only google service i use it its maps,contacts and calendar but from that thread above you there is a homebrew alternative.

just use k9mail for gmails.

When im typing an e-mail or any text in any other app, keyboard comes in between the text and I cant see what im typing, text field should scroll according to the screen size and text underneath the keyboard should be visible as it was on 4.3.

I always have to press back button to hide the keyboard and check what I have typed.

Is there any fix for this and anyone else is facing this issue?

Your setup is coming out at about $1,008.00. Does your $1,000.00 budget count taxes or is without taxes?

Also, are you using stock CPU cooling? Didn't see a part for that. Also PSU is missing.

Hello

I have an opportunity to purchase a Galaxy S5 LTE-A. I have been considering it but was wondering if I can root it and then put custom ROMS on it. The device comes unlocked from factory but don't know if the bootloader is unlocked as well.

I know that most of the ROMS here are for the standard Galaxy S5 and the internals for the "Prime" are a bit different.

Would custom ROMS work with the "Prime?"

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] riveraseo:
I hope this is in the right spot.

I Have searched, Ive tried every Unbrick guide i have found and everything inbetween.

I have a samsung i527, Att 6.3 Mega. Never rooted, romed, nothing. Running on Jellybean. 3 days ago got a msg from att update for KitKat. Downloaded over wifi, installed took about an hour total. Phone just hung on Samsung Logo. Finally turned off all the way, tried to turn it back on got stuck in bootloop.

Tried going to recovery to wipe cache, and no recovery installed, tried to boot again after i saw no recovery got, "Failed secure: Kernel". Msg on screen stating "Unauthorized att software, please turn off your phone and return to an att store.

Tried to restore firmware with Kies and Kies 3, It wont connect, and when it does it says the software can not be restored, Im amusing because its kitkat now and not jellybean and kies does have 4.4.2 yet.

So no no avail, Tried odin last resort,

Tired

Pit files:

I527M Pit-Knox Enabled Rom.pit

i527m.pit

Samsung_I527_PIT.PIT

Firmware files:

I527UCUAMK2_I527ATTAMK2_I527UCUAMK2_HOME.tar

Recovery:

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-melius

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-melius.tar

When i flash the pit files they will only flash in Odin 3.07

That is the only thing that will flash PEROID

When i try the firmware it fails at Aboot, and on the screen i get

"Secure chk failed: Fused 4, binary 3"

When flashing recovery i get failed "Auth failed"

and on the screen i get "secure check failed :recovery"

The pit files will not flash in Odin 1.85, 3.04, 3.05, or 3.06.

I took it to the att store and they looked like deer and headlights.

If anyone has any insight that would be wonderful. Im starting to believe that when it updated it installed the new KNOX bootloader which is now not allowing me to restore 4.3, and once i got a "Check Security Bit".

Thanks

Sorry again if this is in the wrong fourm, Ive been browsing about 6 different sites and have not seen any one have this problem that hasnt been able to recover with kies or odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I would say you are in the right place. I would say something went wrong.

This is all ATT. You did as you were told. Sounds to me like ATT owes you a new phone. If you have a Best Buy anywhere near, you would pry be better off going there. Some of them have the Samsung experience section. They have been know to be able to flash stock firmwares.

There are a couple other threads on the subject. You are not the first to have this issue.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] riveraseo:
So update,

Went to bestbuy Samsung center.

They pluged my mega up and started restoring, after 8 attempts of trying to restore in Home mode and Factory mode, still would not reload recovery, only download mode, Or bootloop.

So until a dev or someone else can get there hands on the kitkat firmware for the Mega i am stuck with a brick.

But on another note, Samsung retail locations have a program called "Smart" It has every firmware for every phone, make, model, carrier. Plug in select Home, or Factory mode, throw phone in download mode, and click start. I tried for about 40 mins to have him allow me to pull the program and throw it on a sd card, no hope lol.

If anyone has any other idea im up for anything.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UndergroundEvolution:
Post Postmortem

I know this is an old and therefore "dead" thread but it shows up a lot under searches and for the sake of anyone that stumbles upon this and is still looking for the proper fix; the i527 is ATT branded therefore needs the proper rom which is: I527UCUBNE7 not any of the other ones you see out there. For any ATT user whit a bricked mega wondering why you can't do a proper install though odin I hope this hepls you.

India got This OTA ,

1) should i go for it?

2) will i loose root ( towel root) , ( earlier i lost root when my device upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.1.3, and have to wait too long for east root (thanks to towel root))

3) & do 4.4.2 really worth ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] xConjo:
1.- Why not? it's good

2.- I updated to 10.5.A.0.230 and then used towelroot and I have root, so yeah it's working.

3.- I can't really tell; got my phone less than a week ago so I didn't tried any of the older FW/Android versions. The first thing I did was update to the latest FW :D

I would say go for it and update it. It's working perfect for me and Inmersive Mode is amazing!
[Sony Xperia ZR] chandansomani:
Did you had rooted before updating?

Yes, but since I made a clean install/wipe everything, I lost root. However, on kitkat I just downloaded towelroot and now I have root.

[Droid Ultra General] ericinmn999:
Just selected install updates like a typical OTA update from Verizon. The install script shut down the phone, went into TWRP, started the validation process and completed the update.

I am unlocked and rooted and did not have to update anything in SU or recovery to keep root.

I did Uninstall Xposed before I did this and there were no system modifications.
[Droid Ultra General] Metfanant:
ABSOLITELY impossible to determine if battery life is better or worse without AT LEAST cycling the battery a few times...

If you take the soak test you will never get the OTA...it is the OTA unless Moto/VZW finds something wrong with it and pulls the update...

As for Android L...who knows...I would say there is a decent chance we get at least 1 more update for the phone...
