[ROM]KOT49H【4.4.4】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】06-25-2014

Basically, I didn't re-flash loki-doki. I had 4.4.2 running and had re-flashed 4.4.3 but somehow thought that I could reboot and then re-enter recovery to re-flash loki rather than doing it all at once. Dumb move. So now I have a perfectly good 4.4.3 load, but I can't enter recovery to do anything else. I want to flash the 4.4.4 image, but anytime I try to get into recovery I get the "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless / Yellow Triangle" message.

I know I can Odin back to a stock image, but is there an easy way to force into recovery to flash loki-doki? Tried Flashify per another users post but that doesn't get me anywhere. Have not tried Triangle Away, because I didn't think that would cure my issue. The answer may be to re-flash, but I wanted to see if there was an easy way first. Running MDK btw....

Chad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bijiont:
I am far from an expert but I think you are on the right track with having to do Odin.

I haven't used loki-doki before but after doing some reading the requirement is a working custom recovery.

This may be a dumb question but did you try to re-install something like CWM?

(CM11 jflte MDK baseband)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Try unzipping whatever recovery it is you want to use and then use Flashify to " flash recovery image " and locate the Recovery. IMG you got from unzipping earlier.

Also I would run Tri Angle Away too.

If using that method to get you're recovery back doesn't help... Then yes Odin it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chad52:
Thanks all. I use twrp, and have tried reflashing it, but nothing let's me reboot into recovery without the situation described above. My fault, so looks like back to square one I go...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Are you just trying to get into recovery from the ROM? Or from a battery pull and phone off? Sometimes getting into it from the ROM can get borked but the other method works in which case flashing the ROM again should fix that. Again I'd also use Tri Angle Away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chad52:
Trying from inside the ROM. I've got a fully functioning 4.4.3, but I'm locked out of getting into Recovery....

Chad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chad52:
Flashify can't even get me into Recovery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chad52:
Thanks all, I ODIN'd back to stock and worked it all the way back forward to 4.4.4. Appreciate the help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deeked:
I hate digging up old threads especially when Hijacking them. But I wanted to say thanks for the information you provided. It helped a lot and got me back into recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.1). Now the real fun begins. I have not had this phone in my possession for quite some time (November 2013). Anyway, I was tasked with bringing it up to date and I might need some further assistance. If so, I'll start my own topic in this sub forum.

Hey guys,

As you all know with the 1.7 Version of the chromecast app google enabled screen mirroring on selected devices. Since a Nexus 5 is a selected device i decided to try to make my Sony Xperia Z2 a Nexus 5 :)

I changed the following original Sony build.prop settings from:

ro.build.product=D6503
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=D6503
ro.product.device=D6503

to:

ro.build.product=hammerhead
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=hammerhead
ro.product.device=hammerhead

I took the build.prop settings from a original Nexus 5 build.prop file.

Tested and working...it's great !

I guess you can easily adapt this to any other phone, so just a quick hack.

regards,

nEUTR0n

How I can in nexus 7 2012
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Just a quick word of warning here, please be very mindful when changing build.prop

Anything that tries to detect your device make/model for downloading/installing device-specific components (like recovery) will get the wrong make/model. This means if you're not careful you could end up "updating" to a rom/recovery/ota for a different device, likely resulting in some manner of brick.
[Google Chromecast] Furma:
you cant

nexus 7 2012 comes with tegra 3 which does not have hardware support for screen mirroring.
[Google Chromecast] Lolento:
I made the changes you suggested and was able to install Chromecast 1.7 from the playstore but am still not able see a cast screen option. Any other suggestions?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Change your build.prop back to normal and try r3pwn's enabler.
[Google Chromecast] droper_250:
Your brong coz tegra 3 have miracast integrated ;).

Mirroring to chromecast work fine in nexus 7 2012 (cm11) with chromecast app and the experimental enabler :good::laugh:

If you can enter to recovery or fastboot mode your phone isn't dead. Have you tried to flash the last STOCK FIRMWARE that you installed? Whit RSD. There is no problem if you've lost root privileges while BootLoader doesn't says "Device Locked".

You can save your phone. Good luck!

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I've seen you help several users now by directing them to the "Return to Stock" thread. Excellent advice - thanks for helping out!!!!

Just FYI, you can flash the STOCK firmware even with a locked bootloader as long as it is the SAME firmware that came on the phone. This is because the stock firmware is signed with release keys, and the CID will match.

The only reason you need to unlock your bootloader to flash a STOCK firmware is if you are flashing a different carrier's firmware (which we don't recommend).

Hi!

I really need help right now. This is second time my TyTN goes wild this way.

I can start machine allright and I can put PIN-code in but little bit after TyTN hangs totally. It does not respond to anything.

Even hard reset is difficult to do because you have to be so quick to push buttons before systems freezes.

There is no extreme programs or any changes made after last hard reset.

1. Can I do something now on the road?

2. What have I done wrong that it goes wild like this?

Please help ASAP if there is something to do now without HR.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
I dont think the freeze can stop the hard reset ... You should be able to HR even when your TyTN is frozen till the ice ages ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] _mike_:
This is not the....

This is not the main issue. I can Hard Reset... but what went wron in the first place? And twice in one week.

Few decent program installations and using ActiveSync in two machines... I think that is the reason somehow... But how to prevent this happening constantly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
Most likely, one of your programs is screwing it up .. You need to figure out which one it is ... Setup one by one manually and see what happens ..

Also, try installing SPB Pocket Plus .. that has a manual safe startup mode .. see if you are able to start up your TyTN in the safe mode .. instead of doing a hard reset everytime ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Just another thing to check along with suggestions above. Do you use a storage card. If so does it still hang with the card out. And secondly is there a decent amount of on board memory free.?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] _mike_:
What program that...

...might be?

Nothing starts on startup. I mean nothing special that my friend does not have. And he has no problems at all.

My guess still is that problem is ActiveSync. Because in freeze I can see part of ActiveSync window. And ActiveSync starts automatic...

Is there way to prevent ActuveSync on startup?

Thank you for your replys.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] l3G3ND:
_mike_ I wouldn't be that dismissive of that advice. Usually, just where you think your sure you have everything covered in a particular area so theres no need to check, thats usually where your problem is.

The fact is that you and your friend have two different phones. Are the model numbers, lot numbers identical? Did you both in stall the exact same software with the exact same version numbers?

I'm guessing that you missed something there.

You need to be patient and thorough when figuring our these issues.

The best advice to find the answer to your problem has already been given.

Start with a base WM5 build and your ext ROM software. Remove your memory card.

Spend at least a day or two in base config. This will certainly tell you if its the phone or the software.

If your phone stays good, add one of your programs to the phone and wait another day.

repeat this until you find out what's causing the issue.

It's not quick or fast, but it's effective.

Good Luck!

Mine has started doing this right after I installed pRSSreader and subscribed to BBc news feed :mad: :mad:

Mine hung after installing and uninstalling psShutXp. After uninstalling, I kept getting a notification error message whenever I turned it on concerning psShutXp. Then, it just locked up for good. No amount of soft resets, powering off/on helped. After a hard reset and reinstall of my favorite apps, back to working fine.

I do occassionally lock my phone by accident and I get a little freaked out the next time I use it because nothing works. Then, I realize what I did and that I'm a moron and everything's good again.

One reason is if you have a BS rom installed. You need to install a stock NBS rom (make sure radio is stripped out or you will have to reflash yours) the reflash your BS rom. Make sure you back-up your contacts and messages first.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mmerlin:
I found what caused/fixed mine was Kaspersky blocking the "network" that appears when you activesync.

I didn't realize this at first, and for 3 days, I could not use my phone, it was hung hourglassing endlessly on the today screen, despite numerous stylus key reboots/resets.

To fix this, I added the activesync network as a trusted network in Kasperksy, and lo and behold the hourglassing stopped and my phone is back to normal again.

My Note have 4.3 and it's rooted with Kingosoft. KNOX has NOT been trip.

I am wondering if I can upgrade to 4.4.2 and use TowelRoot to root WITHOUT tripping KNOX, as follow:

1. Unroot with Kingosoft (the Windows app is capable of this)

2. Hard reset the phone

3. Obtain 4.4.2 via OTA (or KIES?)

4. Use TowelRoot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: upgrading

You don't need to un-root the phone.

#1: Perform a hard reset.

#2: Download and odin flash the official stock N900T Kitkat 4.4.2 NF1 firmware

from http://SamMobile.com or other trusted source. (it will not trip the knox)

#3: Use Towelroot to root the phone.

As you most likely know already you will not be able to flash any custom

recovery like twrp or cwm if you don't want to trip the knox flag which

means that you will not be able to flash any custom roms either.

Good luck!

Really? So is there no way to root a 4.4.2 stock T-Mobile ROM WITHOUT tripping KNOX?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: towelroot

Yes, follow the guide I posted, I did make an error about NF1,

however you can download the N900T NE6 4.4.2 firmware from

http://SamMobile.com or other trusted source, then you can use

Towelroot successfully without tripping the knox counter.

Good luck,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Thanks, Misterjunky! I'll do the upgrade and will update this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Guys, quick question: once I successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 NE6 and root it with Towelroot, I should be able to upgrade to NF1 and root it with MobileOdin Pro following this method, right?

Link 1: http://www.andromods.com/root-unlock/knox-safe-tmobile-galaxy-note-3-nf1-rooted-volte.html

1. Extract the NF1 firmware, then copy the ‘tar.md5′ to your sd card.

2. Run the Mobile ODIN Pro and scroll down to ‘Open file…’.

3. Here’s some options you should enable prior to flashing, ‘inject root’, ‘mobile odin boxes’ and ‘reboot to download mode after flashing’.

4. Once flashing completes and your phone boot into download mode, connect it to your computer.

5. Now run Odin3 desktop version, we use v.3.09 with only the reboot and update bootloader boxes are ticked.

6. In order to make the VoLTE working, you need to reflash the CSC file from NF1 firmware.

Link 2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53574142

You'll want to flash the full firmware through mobile odin pro, tick the inject root and mobile odin boxes, and select reboot to download mode after flashing. Once in download mode, flash the bootloader with regular desktop odin 3.09 with only the reboot and update bootloader boxes checked. No guarantees, but that SHOULD retain knox 0x0 and root.

EDIT: Forgot to ask: how do flash the CSC file? Just select "CSC" from Odin and point to the NF1 firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Quick update: upgraded to NE6 via Odin, run TowelRoot, success! KNOX 0x0! No need to unroot first.

I "chickened" out on upgrading to NF1 with CSC install, though. Seems that there maybe some problem in the long run if I upgrade following my post above. So I'll wait for now.

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. When I looked at it in a store it just had the right size feel for a tablet - not too big, not too small. Well, I am finding there are significant challenges to readability when I use a tablet (I believe a 10" would have the same issue). My social connectivity apps all present me with eye strain (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). I find the font sizes to be really tiny, and hard to read for any extended period of time :crying:.

In KitKat, I have gone to Settings > Display > Font > Font Size, and picked Extra Large. And, I have also looked in Accessibility > Vision > Font Size (this is the same setting, so also Extra Large).

But, there doesn't seem to be any real integration with Gmail or Facebook for these font changes. And, not to help things, neither Gmail or Facebook have Text Size or Font Size settings in their Android Apps!! Uugh!:eek: The change in the Android system font size does have *some* benefit for using the Web browser. But, it has mixed results. Many headlines, or sidebar items, or other specific screen elements, do not display any difference due to the system font change, and are still tiny, tiny, tiny!:(
