Samsung dedicated chargers

Apple and Samsung both use their own unique standards for USB charging so their devices know when they are connected to a charger capable of supplying the higher current they prefer. They do this by using a resistor voltage devider inside the charger to apply a very specific voltage to the data leads of the USB cable.

A little Googling will find examples and descriptions of the Samsung design.

There is a little plug-in, intelligent, USB adapter available that will interface Apple and Samsung devices to any charger. It senses what device you have and supplies the correct voltages on the data leads so your device thinks it's plugged into its official cherger. I think I saw it on ebay.

Edit- here is the adapter to allow using any charger with Samsung or Apple devices.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charging-Port-Controller-Fast-charging-adapter-identificatio-For-Phone-PAD-/141342316282?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item20e8a896fa

Just keep in mind that this adapter will make your tablet believe it's connected to a charger that can supply high current. If the charger cannot supply high current, it will be overloaded and it's output voltage will sag.

I don't think this will damage the Samsung tablet, but it will slow down charging and may overheat the charger.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] mears:
Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist, but I was also unable to charge the tablet with my wife's macbook using the same cable that works fine with other wall chargers. I am pretty sure it worked fine when it was booted into bootcamp as well...

She's in Europe for a few months so I won't be able to confirm for a while.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] cheetokhan:
The only charger I've used with my Tab S 10.5 is this one- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DVH62J2/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't even tried the factory charger yet. I'll have to test it and see if the Tab S uses the same voltage sensing on the data leads as the previous Samsung tablets.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] ManDcgaw:
I've been using an Ipad 10w charger,fat,square,.twice the weight of the OEM Samsung charger ,removable prongs.

It WORKS WELL. Where my Samsung OEM charger has trouble charging

when the tablet is in use, the fat Apple charger kept charging at a good speed.

A bit warm as compared to OEM Samsung charger but not "Hot".

Probably 20% + faster charging as its very noticeable (except 99 to 100 % takes a while, charging rate software?)
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] HKSpeed:
I'm using an original Apple charger at work to charge my 8.4. I don't know if the charger is for an iPhone or iPad. Someone left it at work. I gave away the lightning cable that came with it since I don't own an Apple product. The cable I'm using is part of an LG qi charger (doesn't come with a wall adapter/charger).

Hi XDA,

I recently install cyanogenmod on my Att m8 and can't get the gaaps. Everytime I install the zip, it won't show up in any of the folders in my TWRP. I tried to install it onto my micro sd then insert that into the phone but when I install from there it says that it can't mount /data or something like that. I don't understand why I can't get the .zip to show up. Should i switch to ClockworkMod because I need google play and the gaaps.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ng4:
I meant to say clock work mod recovery it sounded like I meant cwm was a Rom

Is there a way to go back to stock recovery but stay rooted? I currently have twrp. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceburn1:
Stock Recovery

The quickest way to do it I think if you didn't make a backup with flashify, which you should next time before you flash custom recovery again....is to CF-AutoRoot, Chainfires program roots with custom recovery then flashes stock right after so you will have stock recovery and stay rooted without doing anything else!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
Thanks thats what i used to root so should be easy
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceburn1:
Stock Recovery

No problem broskini! and sorry forgot to mention towel root, ive heard it does not trip knox, I got my phone before towel root. Towel root wouldn't do same thing as CF-Autoroot as far as flashing stock recovery! So do not use CF-Autoroot to get stock recovery if you Towel rooted.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
I had my phone before towelroot also i wish id have waited to root for it but oh well still thanks for the info
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Dio:
For a device like mine, with a MediaTek processor, stuff like CWM would not work. However someone found a work around, now I can install roms on my phone

I got a KitKat rom for my Alcatel one touch 4033a. It works quite well. However there are some bugs

1)Google Services will not install, meaning I can't link accounts on google applications

2)There is no vibration at all in the phone

3)I get no notifications from my facebook messenger app

4) Selecting a certain option on camera force closes it

5)Auto brightness doesn't work

Is there anyway that I can fix this myself? Or can anyone help me?

And for anyone else with this device, here is the tutorial to install CWM:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
is there an exploit for hboot 1.57.0000 to s-off this phone?? tia
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Not yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sopont:
You can s-off hboot 1.57.0000 by firewater :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
this method works.

:good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
Unless you're on the OTA that includes Sense 6 and the like. Then you're still SOL until someone releases a new exploit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] d0m_:
is there someone working on this actively, or did those people move to the m8
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
yep there are still people working on an m7 exploit
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
Haven't seen or heard any posts abount an m7 exploit popping out of the wood work. Jcase even said he wont burn another until more than one phone needs the exploit. Rock and a hard place since towelroot works on the m8. Still hoping he'll update sunshine to support the new m7 update since that route actually makes them money.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
First of all, JCase said he wouldn't burn another ROOT until another phone needs it (btw, there is a working temp root on the M7, if you're not aware), not an S-OFF or booloader unlock. and second of all:

Sorry if I came off mean....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] asacado:
That's exactly what I said, nigh word for word. Temp root is pointless without the ability to S-Off. Only good news comes from that twitter post.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
you guys are talking about 2 different things.

ROOT VS S-OFF

although there isn't a new Root method, firewater works for S-off on Hboot 1.57
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] d0m_:
don't you need to have root in order to s-off?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
Oh i thought you were referring to something else I guess, well then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
But without root, firewater doesn't work. ("SU or FU!" it says.)

So, they are pretty much interlinked, sadly.

And no, there is not a working root, temp or otherwise, for the Verizon M7 if you have the Sense 6 OTA. Towelroot does not work. WeakSauce does not work. "temproot" does not work. So, there is no way to S-off, unlock the bootloader, etc, etc. Basically, if you want to do anything such as install CM (which is what I want to do), you are S-O-L for the time being.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
Actually using towelroot to temproot does currently work, but everything else is patched so that doesn't change the fact that Sense 6 users are still SOL
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
Didn't work for me. It acted like it did work, but using root checker indicated that root failed.

And yeah like you said, doesn't matter, still no way to S-off or unlock the bootloader, so ... stuck.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
hmm thats odd, it works on mine, just tested it again a few mins ago... just making sure, you are setting towelroot to temproot right? just making sure..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
Yeah, tap the banner 3 times and then change the last 0 to 1? It acts like it works, but root checker says no root.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
Hmm rather odd, whats your sw number?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
4.10.605.3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
Ok, well I officially have no clue what could be going wrong on your end...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
Nor I, but it's a moot point, as temproot is kind of useless unless you can use it to S-off/unlock/etc. And you can't currently, anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
OP stated:

is there an exploit for hboot 1.57.0000 to s-off this phone?? tia

they werent asking for a temp root or even root. they want s-off for Hboot 1.57.

so yes there is an exploit for 1.57. (hboot 1.57 is on many devices not just ours)

so if you have an unlocked bootloader (with dev unlock or something prior to the patched temp root methods) you can achieve s-off.

if

the op was asking about a root method for sense 6.0 i would say no, there isnt a root method for sense 6
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
You're arguing semantics here. I think the OP meant "I have an updated Verizon HTC One, can I S-off it?" ... and the answer is no. You can't S-off without root, and you can't root an updated Verizon M7 right now. Nor can you do ... well ... anything with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] d0m_:
this might be a silly question, can you flash with a RUU to a lower version? would that be enough to trick it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] beoxify:
Of course!... NOT. Sense when has Verizon+ HTC made it that easy?(other than like 2 years ago)

My question to anyone who knows, why can't someone take an old version and disguise it as a newer version then fake update it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] abrego47:
You can't downgrade if you are s-on only s-off, only way to achieve root and s-off is if you are still on sense 5
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] computrius:
Temp root does work

Towel root does work on the verizon htc one with sense 6. Make sure you uninstall any super su, etc before running it; it interferes.

It is the s-off that is non existent as of current.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
you can use it as a phone. :silly:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
These things are phones? No way! :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ModemMisuser:
I never had any such app installed. Towelroot does NOT work on my Sense 6'ed VZW M7.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hightech316:
I just got my replacement m7 in the mail.

I am so glad I did not take the OTA .

Although, I cannot find the correct version of rumrunner to download....

Here are my specs Out Of the Box

Running Sense 5.5 . Android 4.4.2

Base band: 1.13.41.0109_2

Software Number: 3.11.605.1

Hboot: 1.56.00000

What is the best way to achieve s-off ? I had used rumrunner in the past, was a breeze.

They don't have a 3.11.605.1 verison tho...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Use Firewater/Weaksauce method and it should work I believe; that's what I did when I got my replacement back that was on the Sense 5.5 version.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hightech316:
I am having issue running firewater...

I downloaded the file, but it has no file extension .

How Am i suppose to open firewater ? Shell Script? if so do I need to make it a .exe or . bat?

right now the files only says firewater . no extension .. ..

--------------------------

Oh I need to push it to my phone....

Do i need to do the HTC Dev Bootloader unlock? or does firewater umlock it aswell
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
You need to be rooted with Weaksauce to run firewater. Firewater will unlock/S-Off your device. Instructions I had in a text file copied from the Weaksauce thread, and firewater's site:

-------------------------------------------------WEAKSAUCE------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

1. Install the WeakSauce app, run it hit agree.

2. Then install SuperSu from the market

3. Run firewater for S-Off

4. Uninstall Weaksauce after successful firewater run

-----------------------------------------------------------------------FIREWATER------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions (WeakSauce method - some m8 models and maybe others)

This method may allow firewater to work on a fully stock/htcdev locked device. This method is being provided as a convenience. It will work on verizon m8 variants and possibly some others.

Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.

USB 2.0 ports are preferred.

You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues

Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.

no passcode lock

no pattern lock

no face lock

Download firewater HERE

Download/install/follow WeakSauce instructions to gain temproot (thanks jcase!)

Push, Prepare, obtain root, and execute firewater:

adb reboot <--important!!!!

adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

su

/data/local/tmp/firewater

Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with

Allow the exploit to do its work.

Profit

After you have S-Off through Firewater, uninstall Weaksauce.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] drifter3179:
uh noooooooo.....

I am rooted (Temp) on HTC One M8 Verizon with Sence 6 and 4.4.2 using Weaksauce sooooo yeah
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
....then you can use sunshine to achieve s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
yea you need to push it to your device and let it do the magic.

You just need to use weaksauce to temp root (REMEMBER! - it takes 1-2 minutes with weaksauce before the temp root is achieved on each reboot) Take this into account when running the firewater command as you will want to wait and make sure that weaksauce is up and running and you are temp rooted.

Best of luck! - carngeX - posted a nice tutorial of information for you to save some time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
I updated my AT&T Note II to KitKat 4.4.2 last night, via AT&T OTA update.

According to the new features list, I should now be able to access the camera app from the lock screen, right?

But now joy.

All my Googling thus far indicates that I should first enable lock screen widgets by going to "Settings -> Security", and turn on a check-box for "Enable Widgets". I have no such option, or check-box, on the "Settings -> Security" page. And I no such similar options on the "Settings -> Lock screen" page either.

I've also seen instructions (albeit for other Samsung devices) that seem to indicate that I should first disable (or turn off) the lock screen altogether. In other words, set the lock screen to "None". And then re-enable it. It seems that I can not set the lock screen option to "None", after the KitKat upgrade. In other words, it seems that after the KitKat update, I am now forced to choose either Pin or Password lock screen. I have only two options available on the "Settings -> Lock screen -> Screen lock" page now - Pin, or Password. All other options are gray'd out, saying "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage".

Anybody else seeing this after the KitKat upgrade?

Anybody have any hints on how to get the camera, or any other, lock screen widgets to show up on the lock screen?

EDIT: Solution found. See post #11 below
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
Go to settings my device lockscreen shortcuts turn on camera
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
Thanks for the suggestion 06Silverado... but no joy.

There is no such option on the Settings -> Lock screen -> Lock screen widgets page.

Here is what I see (see attached screen-shots)

1 - The Settings [My device] page

Followed by tapping on Lock screen

2 - The Settings [My device] -> Lock screen page

Followed by tapping on lock screen widgets

3 - The Settings [Mydevice] -> Lock screen -> Lock screen widgets page

Are you on ota 4.4.2? I am & this is what it looks like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
Very interesting... your Settings -> Lock screen page looks very different from mine.

In answer to your question... Yes, I took the ota 4.4.2 update last night.

Here is a screen-shot of my Settings -> About device page

And... if I go to the bottom of the Settings -> About device -> Status page, it says "Official"

I wonder what could be causing the difference????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
It also looks like you have a Lock screen = Swipe.

That's not even an option on my device (it's gray'd out, and says Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage).

As shown in the attached screen-shot

I wonder if a security policy of some sort got installed on my device. It's a personal phone (as in not managed by my employer's MDM solution), so I'm not sure how any such policy would have gotten installed. I certainly didn't knowingly do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
Take the pin code lock off & see if it changes maybe thats why
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
I would, if I could... I can't select a screen lock type of "None" it's disabled (if you look at the screen-shot in me previous post, notice that "None" is gray'd out).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
Damn idk then is it a company phone or something? Idk why it would be greyed out like that its wierd mine isnt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 06SilveradoZ71:
I put a pin code on then removed it & still not greyed out so who knows
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdfruth:
I think I figured out how to re-enable all the screen lock types.

Following the suggestion in this stackexchange thread... I cleared credential storage by going to Settings -> Security -> Clear credentials

Now I'm able to set a screen lock = Swipe

As in, all those screen lock types that were gray'd out are no longer gray'd out.

And I'm finally able to add the Camera widget to the lock screen

Holy crap... what an ordeal that was.

I wonder how the heck my credential storage got dorked.

Oh well... moving on.
