[Moto G General] iluvatrix:
was just using GSF as a quick example

but back to my original question is it better to enable ALL apps before taking OTA to avoid possible failure?

or will disabled apps still be "seen" during OTA updating?

i have disabled most Motorola apps that can be disabled are they considered critical when updating thru Motorola OTA?
[Moto G General] debaj:
You don't delete anything. You just tell the system not to start or use those apps. And as a worst case scenario, if you screw up something so bad that you can't even use the phone (but by default you cannot disable really critical apps without root and 3rd party software), a factory reset will solve it.
[Moto G General] juliatan:
Terrible and dumb advise.

Remove system apps and every ota on any android device from any manufacturor will crash and fail. Are you going to help clean flash stock Android back to functional for Ota's with people who followed this advise? At least advise to put system apps back before applying OTA. (One can remove system apps and install as more battery and recources friendly user-app. But before OTA uninstall those apps and copy back apk's of those system apps).

But like said disable apps (also non-root) or freeze (only root) them solution. With Greenify Pro and Xposed Framework (root) one can Greenify (do not all but only for system non important) system apps. Without root Greenify can (when Greenify enabled in accesibilty options) force close all in Greenify by user defined unwanted still in background running user apps all at once with a shortcut. Not fake like every task killer in Play Store is.
[Moto G General] cryptoncore:
Becareful with system applications!

I agree with the previous post...don't remove system applications unless you know it's not going to be linked to anything of use to you, and even then I would do a backup just in-case...having a broken installation of android simply due to having deleted some system app in an attempt to save a few MB of RAM would be...unfortunate.
[Moto G General] maurocds:
lol really? you better use an iphone

i remove system apps of all my cell phone, and guess what, they work perfect, never had issues

and if i did someday i don't care, why? because you are root, you can recover roms, flash, upgrade, etc

and yes, i give advice to people who bricked their phones and give guides and methods of doing it, because bricking phones and recovering them it part of learning

Hey guys,

Assuming I buy a Note 3, can I uninstall TouchWiz and install stock Android look (like the Nexus 5), will I still be able to use the S-Pen? Like being able to click the button to have the menu pop up?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
Hey everyone,

I had been putting off the NC5 update for quite a while now. I was on a safe strapped and rooted MK2 and hadn't had any issues. Well I finally updated to NC5 a couple weeks ago using a method here and kept root. I didn't have any issues at first. A week later my phone wouldn't find my wireless network at home. It only finds it when I have the phone about a foot away from the router. The same thing happens with my Bluetooth Bose speaker. If I try to move my phone even while it is right next to it, the music becomes choppy just like I'm almost out of range.

I thought it might have been a radio issue, so I flashed the radio all the way back down to MK2. I'm still having the same problem.

It's there any way to test my phone? At this point I'm really beginning to think that it could be a hardware issue.

Help!

Josh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'd suggest using a No Wipe NC5 Odin file and starting fresh. You have Towel Root now so no issues on getting root back. And when you were flashing modems which one exactly did you flash.... Only use the non-los modem file that matches your bootloader build . Flash any Modem Only zip you want however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
Thanks for the quick reply. I used Surge's [HOW-TO]Upgrade to 4.4.2 VRUFNC5 and keep root (for NC2 and MK2 devices) [05/13/2014].

I flashed the modem only versions, and I tried flashing nc5 all the way back to mk2 both retail and developer versions. No luck.

Is the no wipe nc5 odin file different from what I would have done using Surge's guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
OK.

Well yes I believe that method you used was a bit different. What build is your bootloader on right now do you know? You can grab the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store if you're not sure.

I'd suggest though still to use an Odin No Wipe file and start fresh while not deleting any of your stuff... Only thing I'm not sure on is what your bootloader is since I'm on MDK and not 100% where Surges method left you... There were so many of those methods on here it lost me..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52279353

Id think the NC5 no wipe is the way to go..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
The bootloader is apparently mk2 according to the app. PDA/CSC/BUILD all nc5. So is baseband the same as the bootloader? I've always just looked at Settings> About Phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
No baseband is your modem/radio

Not the same as your build/bootloader.

So yours says MK2 where mine shows Bootloader MDK? If that's the case you could use thee MK2 Odin file and stay on MK2 or still use the NC5 one and jump up a build. Do you just run stock or do you use SafeStrap and ROMs ?

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

See my baseband is NC5 however my bootloader is MDK. And looking at About Phone says nothing about MDK. That's why that app comes in handy for those that don't know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
Interesting. Yes, my bootloader is still on mk2. My baseband is on mk2 as well, but it was on nc5 until I downgraded while troubleshooting. I run safestrap, and during the upgrade to nc5, flashed whatever deodexed zip surge's how-to said to flash. So will the no-wipe odin file update my bootloader as well? If so, is there any benefit to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well currently if your on NC5 you can only use SafeStrap 3.72 I believe and you are only able to flash ROMs to the stick slot.

If you are able to stay on MK2 however you use SafeStrap 3.71 and are able to use your ROM slots and use SafeStrap like it's intended.

So......lol I'd say try the No Wipe MK2 file that can still be found in that link. Sounds like something got screwed up along the way with those methods you were using earlier.

That'd be a good starting point. Then you can decide for yourself if you want to upgrade again to NC5. Just know that once your bootloader is on NC5 there is no going back to MK2. That's why some of those methods were so entailing and required many files and steps.

But hopefully starting fresh will fix this problem you have... Let's hope!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
So I'm not having much luck. I originally tried flashing the mk2 no-wipe with odin and kept getting a pit error. I just decided to try flashing the full wipe, but no luck. I moved onto just trying both of the nc5 tar files and they are erroring out as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
Well, I finally was able to flash the full-wipe NC5 update. (I had to switch USB ports) Bootloader and build are both NC5. Still have horrible wi-fi and bluetooth connections. :( Dum dum dummmmmm. Looks like I'm paying $100 for a warranty replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imp3r10:
I am having the same problem on a currently warranty replacement. I just got upgraded to an S4 from my S3 because they didn't have any of my color in stock so they sent me this. I am having terrible range with my wifi when my S3 has perfect connection. Also my bluetooth is spotty and doesn't always connect and loses connection while playing music.

Might just have to have it replaced...again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jgraham8806:
Yep. Mine ended up being a hardware issue. Shortly after that post the cellular service went out completely. Had it replaced under warranty.

So here it goes!

I have this phone, a Cherry Mobile Aeon [ full specs: please find on google. Can't post links yet, apparently. ], and rooted it. It rooted successfully the first time ( with usb debugging enabled and everything. ) and so, as idiotic as I am, I installed CF3D on a JB phone so it ended up bootlooping. And so I data/factory reset it by STOCK RECOVERY then I tried recovering it by ADB but then, everytime I type the su command, it always says UI CONNECT - TIMED OUT or something like that.

And so I've searched Google on why is that happening and found out that it prompts if the device is unrooted!

Now I can't root it back cause I don't have USB Debugging enabled. :( And I can't get it to the service center because they said that they don't have the software for this phone yet! WHICH IS VERY IDIOTIC!

Then I let cyanogen mod installer attempt to install cm10 on my t989, and the computer said the install finished and i should wait for the phone to reboot.

But instead of rebooting, it went into CWM Recovery and said something to the effect of: "root access was missing, would you like to root?" I clicked back, which was no and it rebooted into the stock os (ics) instead of cm10 and the home and search buttons didn't work. I tried to reset the phone, but that didn't work and I tried to flash into the stock recovery, but the odin program failed at "<ID:0/009> Can't open the serial(COM) port."

Odin won't work if Kies is running. Kill all kies processes first in device manager.

Also, you need to be rooted properly. After flashing recovery in Odin....you have to flash SuperSU in recovery.

And don't use rom manager...a lot of bad luck stories from it.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M05K1T0:
Hello XDA community, I have some questions, sorry for my english:

1-Some time ago my brother bought an unlocked Galaxy S Advance I9070 and today he gave it to me, It has the stock ROM of the carrier 'Claro' (And all the bloatware :p ), my SIM is from another carrier (Personal) and I can use it without problems (Both carriers are from Argentina), but I've noticed something:

The phone came as new, with the box and all the accesories inside, I checked the IMEI and I found out this:

The sticker on the box and inside the phone (behind the battery) shows XXXXXX05XXXXXX3, and when i type *#06# in the phone, it shows XXXXXX99XXXXXX6 (The IMEIs are the same, except for those three numbers)

I think that when they unlocked the phone, that part of the IMEI changed (As far as I know the IMEI shouldn't/mustn't change).Am I right? Would I have any problems with that?

2-The stock ROM of the aftermentioned phone has Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I'd like to install KitKat or Jellybean. Will the phone lock again?

(I'm almost sure that it was soft-unlocked or something like that)

Do I have to backup the efs partition to keep the IMEI and the phone unlocked?

When my brother bought it, the phone had the Superuser app installed, he did a factory reset (I don't know why.. :rolleyes: ) and (as expected) the app dissappeared. I reinstalled it again today but it looks like the phone lost the root (When trying root apps like root explorer i get the pop up asking for root authorization, when I hit "allow" nothing happens... Also, if I type "su" in terminal it doesn't show the #, it keeps there waiting for more commands)

If you need more information I'll gladly provide it :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
If he unlocked phone in some service, they probably did something about that IMEI change, but I am not sure. Never saw any guide for unlocking from provider. And probably it will remain unlocked after you go to JB, but again I am not sure.
