It'll work... SuperSU crashing is normal... you need to go to the play store and update SuperSU... after that you'll be able to run the app and disable Knox.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wesstern:
thanks bob, i discover that the problem was about the I747MVLUFNF2 rom, so I changed it by I747MVLUFNE6 and all ok now

thank you again :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grospolina:
I did the opposite. I flashed the latest version of CF-Auto-Root from http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. SuperSU was crashing, so I re-flashed the latest version of SuperSU (v2.01) from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and it worked fine after that. This was on the I747MVLUFNF2 ROM.

I've also updated to the latest firmware for gs3-1747m and tried to root using these new rooting tools that are

the device itself. Can you elaborate on an older version that would work on the device? My data pins on the mico-usb port were damaged, so I cannot transfer any data with a PC. Can't use Odin or other devices that require USB debugging :(

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplepwnu:
So I saw here that the NE5 update was out, and I want to install it. However, obviously I can't do an OTA update due to it being a "modified device." I am running Philz Recovery and root from flashing SuperSU.zip.

Is there any way to update manually, without losing root (permanently), recovery, or wiping all my data? I know that I could always restore the stock recovery and firmware via ODIN, but that would get rid of everything, including my data.

(Side question: What exactly does the NE5 update add? I know it's another build of 4.4.2 but what features?)

Thanks.

SOLVED: Just went the long route with wiping and installing the updated NE5 firmware via ODIN. Flashed Philz recovery and SuperSU.

Admins/Mods feel free to delete.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
The NE5 file is already deodexed and rooted. Therefore, you don't lose root. You get Wi-Fi calling feature with this updated. And, I believe it's an update to the modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplepwnu:
Wow that was a fast fix. How can I go about installing this? (File download and method of installation)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
Just download the file and follow the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787760&page=2

Remember: You will lose all data. So it's better if you do a backup of your data using Titanium or alike to get the data back.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplepwnu:
Will do. So this keeps PhilZ? And this is the update after ND2, making it the most recent? Sorry for all the noob questions, I've never had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus, Droid, or Motorola Xoom. :P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
If it takes you back to full stock then you can re-root using the same method you rooted the first time and it will root just fine.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplepwnu:
Is this the same as this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
Yes, they are the same.

Also, I'm assuming you have all your rooting files already.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triplepwnu:
Ok. So I just flash straight through ODIN? Do I have to wipe anything before?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie Doo:
Yes, that would be a good idea. PhilZ has a special feature in the factory reset to wipe out everything for installing a new rom. Use that feature and you're good to go.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fredwred:
This guy has the same problem: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-7/help/nexus-7-screen-replacement-black-screen-t2811453

Hello, Everybody! One day I took my 2013 Nexus 7 on a walk and fell, resulting in a large crack across the screen. Half of the display was not touch-responsive. Recently, I obtained a digitizer replacement, pulled the tablet apart, and replaced it. I later found that I had removed a layer of black glass which appeared to be vital. Today I received a screen + digitizer assembly that contained the black glass. After removing many screws, I replaced the screen. After waiting about thirty minutes, I attempted to turn it on. At first, the screen stayed black. When I connected it to a computer and tried again, the speaker made a notification sound.

The tablet is running Android, but the screen is blank.

Thanks,

Thomas (D3C0D3)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Abel669:
You can confirm the tablet had life? As in when you "turned it on" and connected to your computer via USB, did you computer recognise it?

The Digitiser (top glass layer) when cracked over the screen will make the touch fail, my nexus had a chipped digi on the bottom which spread to the middle... The LCD however was fine.

When I replaced the Digitiser by heating it off the frame and swapping over. My repair went fine and my nexus 7 flo is good as new.

In short, if you are saying you have power and sound but no display; your LCD is either (a): Loose, I do believe it is the orange coloured ribbon cable. Or (b): Damaged, either by yourself when fitting or while it was in transit.

If it is B; simply buy a replacement again.. Make sure you do the entire repair on a flat surface, heat the glue and pry carefully with a tool such as an iSesimo; as to keep your frame intact.. Replace the glue or adhesive tape THOROUGHLY as to ensure the new digitiser stays attached to the frame, as it is only stuck by what you put on.

The LCD is very fragile, be careful.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Forever-stallone:
The other day i was installing CrombiKK from Hairybean.

I followed the directions for the bootloader and recovery and installed it fine after many tries choosing different kernels and install methods in aroma.

I noticed after installing with some different kernels that the wifi bug had a separate fix and wasn't because of a faulty kernel so i went to reinstall with the wifi fix and the OC kernel i wanted and the rom installed just fine but i immediately installed the wifi fix and twrp gave me an error. the rom bootlooped.

i thought all was fine and wiped again to install again but i noticed that while installing the rom in aroma it took about 4 seconds versus a minute or so, and thats when i noticed that twrp wasn't writing any rom at all to the tablet.

so im stuck with no rom and twrp doesnt want to install the rom anymore when it worked previously. i have no backups on the tablet either.

i checked the brick guide -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514088- and it seems to line up with brick #3 but they dont have any information on that.

please allmighty devs, help me.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] S3P3HR:
Seriously people should stop trying that rom ... it does more bad than good ... Last week the same happened to me ...

I am no DEV ! I was thinking I permanently bricked my tf201 so I was desperate and tried everything ... maybe think twice before attempting this ...

What version of twrp are you on ?? I believe that the first two steps you take to install CROMBi-kk (.recovery and .blob) basically turns your tf201 to tf300t . The evidence is when I installed cwm for tf201 it didn't work but cwm for tf300t worked pretty well . but generally cwm is useless in this case ...

I suggest make sure you are on latest twrp for tf300t device and go download latest official cyanogenMOD 11 for tf300t device and flash it with twrp.

Again, My case was way more messed up so I messed with many other stuff so maybe wait so someone confirm or deny this !? but I started going for CROMBi-kk now I got a fully working cm11 that thinks my device is tf300t .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
You are completely correct to point out the dangers but the fact is if you follow the the instructions given in the respective threads

to the letter

then everything will be fine.

Unfortunately, years ago, Asus in their wisdom landed us with firmware that is totally unforgiving when mistakes are made. People do not understand this because they have spent many years flashing happily away on devices with zero penalties for making errors and have come to this forum expecting to just plough on as before. New people just don't seem to understand that a really small mistake can totally brick this device.

To be fair, the forum itself has for a long time now been hard to follow because outdated threads still keep rising to the top,

As one who has been knocking around here for a few years (and who will probably be stuck on the TF201 for a while yet now the new Nexus tablet keeps getting pushed back: 4:3 screen - wtf use is that for my portable TV/media device??) I will take some advice to put together an up-to-date warning post about what should and should not be tried. Experienced users please send PMs with suggestions on what should be included :good: .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Forever-stallone:
S3P3HR-

I followed the instructions for crombikk exactly, hairybean 2.31 with JB 4.2.1, bootloader version 10.6.1.27.1 and twrp 2.6.3.1 and like i said i had it working at first minus the wifi patch that was a separate file.

the real problem was that i wanted to reinstall with a different kernel so i just booted into twrp and installed with aroma and it installed fine but twrp had an error when i immediately after installed the wifi patch. i didnt think much of it at first but now i cant install any roms.

Restorer-

You are deinitely right on this tablet being unforgiving. Ive been running custom roms since 2011 and have never had a problem like this before. It totally caught me off gaurd. i honestly didnt think this would be so bad, even my dad's evo 4g lte wasnt this easy to brick. Im mad about it though because that kitkat rom was the only thing to make it fast enough that i could use it how i like to use my devices.

Could you think about any possible way of fixing my rom installation problem? Its not like i can use it in its current state anyways so if theres a chance i would try it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Can you still access the bootloader when you hold down volume down and power button before going into recovery ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Forever-stallone:
Yes, can access the boot loader just fine. I haven't checked if fastboot still works but it should since the boot loader does. I just am wary of trying anything with the risk of making it much much worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] S3P3HR:
it has been 10+ days and since nothing helpful has been posted I post this .

I never installed the actuall rom but I installed recovey and .blob and it somehow formatted my /data with all my backups in it . then I panicked and tried to format partition Data and it took a little long so I panicked some more and forced a restart ... I found microSD card and tried to install cm10 and virtuous_prime roms but It was a fail . I investigated and saw my /data was corrupt and showed internal : 0mb . I was still able to flash any recovery I wanted . Usually cwm for tf300 and twrp ...

compare your case to mine and the case I post Down below ...

it does Exactly what that on unbrick guide said not to do

... Your choice ... if every thing fails then a mainboard replacement is last option ...

Look at post #5 for his version of fix . I couldn't access asus tf201 official support site so I yahoo'ed stock firmware and for what its worth , I chose a rom that had deoxed in the name ... whatever that means ...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Forever-stallone:
Sorry for the late reply everybody, im up and running again after lj50036 (dev behind crombi) helped me so much. What we did was since the bootloader was working just fine we set the tablet back up with a stock blob and from there we set up NVFLASH (which was needed 10 mins later, haha) and after that i used it to take my tab back to stock and from there i followed his instructions for crombi.

BTW, crombi is literally the fastest rom i have ever used on the tf201, the battery life is lowered a bit because of OC but its worth it.

@ s3ph3r, you might have gotten yourself into a big mess, does your bootloader still work? if so, there may be hope but i couldnt figure out where to start with it.
[Moto X Q&A] petrivka:
Hi all,

I recently switched to Sprint and I had purchased a Moto X for my wife via Swappa. The user said the phone was rooted and I didn't think anything of it at the time. When I received it, I went to the store and had it activated. I gave it to my wife, who told me that she accepted a software update and the phone now is stuck in a reboot loop.

I tried doing a factory reset, but the phone starts to reset despite me speeding through the menus to hit factory reset. The best thing I've been able to manage so far is to get the phone in the "Fastboot Flash Mode" menu. From there I tried selecting "Recovery" but that just brings the phone back on and continues the reboot cycle.

I downloaded the Motorola drivers and the Android SDK hoping that somehow I could connect via USB to the device, but I don't know how to interface with the phone from there. I can't get through the menus fast enough to check the status of USB debugging (although if the phone had been rooted, this should be enabled I would think). I tried going to the command line and running 'fastboot erase cache' but I get an unrecognized command error. Of course, I'm running this while in the Windows directory because I can't find how to point my command line at the Moto X. In Control Panel there is a device called "fastboot ghost S" but I can't do anything with it.

What can I try from here to break the reboot cycle? Apologies for lack of know-how, and thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
OK, so by now a good deal of us will have 4.4.2 installed, either via PCCompanion, OTA, or more likely by flashing an ftf because Sony is terrible at rolling out updates. And if you do have it you'll have noticed that Sony have done a bang up job of making it one of the laggiest and shortest experiences you've ever seen on a flagship.

One of the biggest setbacks is the battery drain issue, originally we all thought that the perpetrator was Google Play Services, which kept waking our phone, so we tried to fix that with blocking its wakelocks. I did that too, and it did help, the battery didn't drain as much and would actually last till the evening.

However, I checked battery consumption again, and noticed that since I blocked Google Play Services, the Media Storage was draining more than 60% of my battery.

I've fixed it, here's how:

For this you'll need

Root

the latest GApps, or just the Services part

Xposed,

Wakelock Terminator (free to block one app, pro version blocks more)

If you're not rooted, root your phone, just follow the super easy instructions in the above link.

OK, you need to install the latest Services, for some reason it wouldn't automatically update for me on my XZL, this release fixes the issues, yes this was not a Sony mistake, it was just Google.

Once you did that install Wakelock Terminator, the free version only blocks one app, if you want to block more you'll have to pay. This is an Xposed module so you need Xposed, if you don't already have it, follow the above link and install it.

Now if you're rooted, have xposed, updated services, and have Wakelock Terminator installed, open Wakelock Terminator. Here search for "Media Storage", or just "media", then select it and block its wakelocks.

Then reboot and you're done. A lot of work, but that's our fault for buying Xperia.

My battery is currently at 59% after 9 hours 51 minutes, not fantastic, but much better than before.
[Sony Xperia ZL] pedromsouza:
Testing now!
[Sony Xperia ZL] supaflyx3:
No results found for media or media server.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
Lol, just switched my phone to English, and here it's called Media Storage.
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
Putting the location service to only GPS ("Device only") worked way better and fixed all the battery drain. With this method it was still a lot higher than it should be.

Using App Ops (xposed) and denying the keep awake seems to work better than Wakelock Terminator for me with no downsides.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
Well, with this method media only uses 7% of battery, and I have locations deactivated by default.

I'll try the App Ops version though, even if I can't see any downsides to my method, just to compare.
[Sony Xperia ZL] haekb:
I have location services on by default, and this completely fixes the 95% Google Play Services battery drain issue.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
So I tried the App Ops tip, and it uses more battery, with it there are two media services running each at the same time, one 7% and the other 5%, with Wakelock Terminator there there is only the media server. But your tip did do something, before I used it media server used 7%, now that I switched from your method back to mine, it only uses 3%.
[Sony Xperia ZL] pedromsouza:
It didn't work here... still draining battery. I'll set location service to "device only" to see if it helps. Not sure if apps like waze and google maps will work fine after that, though.
