One last thing. Go here and download the latest Viper4Android FX, FX version v2.3.3.0. Extract the zip and copy ViPER4Android_FX_A2.3.apk to your ext SD card and reinstall the app. Don't use the ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk file it will force close. That should do it. If not try a clean wipe and reinstall the ROM to the stock slot. I know it's a pain but other than what I suggested already I'm out of options. I have no idea why it's giving you a hard time in the first place.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
I'm still on 4.3 MJE build, stock and rooted. OTA didn't work for me (which I'm glad it didn't) so I looked into flashing the leaked rom when my computer crapped out so wanted to wait until I got things fixed until I can start screwing around with the phone again.

Now this I have it working again I came onto here and saw that so much has happened since then, so can someone just point me in the right direction to where I should be at? Which rom (something stock), build, radio, version of safestrap (I'm still on 4.3).

I've never used safestrap, only used clockworkmod so this is different for me but I'm sure I can figure it out, just need to know where to start off.

Thanks!

This thread should get you up to speed on the latest firmware, and you'll be able to flash any kitkit rom built off of NC2 or NC4.

To clear up any confusion, from what I've read and have come to understand is that NC2 is the leaked bootloader & kernel, while NC4 is the official. The NC2 bootloader allows you to flash backwards to MJE while the NC4 does not. The NC2 kernel is also unique with features I could try to explain, but barely understand at the moment. The other thing to know is that the NC2 kernel can be flashed over the NC4 bootloader (which is considered the unified firmware). That is what is needed for most of the kitkat roms.

If you don't care to go back to MJE, the quickest method to get up and running would be to flash the NC4 stock tar from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524572, and follow the instructions in the previous post as rooting with TowelRoot takes literally seconds. The only thing you lose on the NC4 bootloader is the ability to flash backwards to MJE.

Now as for modems there are many threads around that talk about which one is best. Unfortunately this may depend on your device. Many people have reported very poor reception and download speeds on NC2/NC4 and have flashed the MJE modem reporting a fix or moderate fix. Others have reported signals and speeds better on NC4 than previous. Some think it has to do with NC2 bootloader being that it is unofficial, and some think it has to do with the release version of the phone as people with recent phones report great signal and speed. The other possible factor may have to do with Verizon's simultaneous upgrade to XLTE in some areas at the same time as the kitkat release. From my experience being on NC4 with NC2 kernel (by choice), I have no worse speeds and LTE in places I only used to get 3G. However, I have modded settings in Service Mode, so that may have effected things.

If you're considering roms after getting all set up check out these:

Jasmine Rom 1.8 Very clean, optimized stock rom with some S5 features. (2.0 is considered a beta by the Dev. He is wotking on 2.1. It is a full Galaxy S5 Ported rom.)

Eclipse Rom As close to AOSP as we will get without an unlocked bootloader. Excellent battery life.

Objective Rom Barebones, extremely debloated. Light, stable, add only what you use. (If you want any of the Samsung apps this is not for you as TouchWiz has been removed and many S apps require TW or Magazines to function.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
Thanks for the input! This is where I was getting confused, I was coming across so many posts where people were saying NC4 was slow and to stick with NC2, and some people were saying it was great. There was too much going back and forth I didn't know where to begin especially since the last time I was able to get on xda just the leak was available and everyone was happy.

I'll check out the NC2 first then go from there.

Thanks for the help!

A frustrated non tech friend gave me a kindle fire (not sure which gen). It has the voice on. It boots and when I tap to unlock it goes to "choose language" and asks me to choose a language. I select english (united states) and it says press the next button. So I tap it and it says "next button" ...and it does absolutely nothing. It's stuck. My PC does recognize it though. What are my options for trying to fix this device? I am very tech inclinded, but just have never owned a kindle fire (i did read KFFB). Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm guessing you will need a Factory/Fastboot cable to force Kindle into Fastboot mode

or use adb.exe to reboot to Fastboot mode

adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

and you are going to need adb/fastboot.exe files

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
For whatever reason, I do not have the option for 1080p YouTube playback on my HTC One M8 Google Play Edition.

This is quite strange, because my OnePlus One came in the mail yesterday and it had it out of the box.

Is there something I need to do to enable it?

Why would a Google Play phone, of all things, not get that support from Google themselves?

On the bright side, the OnePlus also had "OK Google" Everywhere available without any tinkering (although the mic kinda sucks, and I have to hold it right to my mouth for it to work XD).

Could it be that I'm rooted? The M8 is on 4.4.4, so I really don't see what could be wrong.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Maybe it's just network related..?

Are you trying on mobile data? Check in general settings on the youtube app, there is a box to limit data on mobile data, only stream HD content when on Wifi.

I JUST tested my device(On mobile data) and it streams 1080p videos perfectly, no problem at all.

I don't think rooted has anything to do with it, I'm S-OFF, rooted as well no problems. I'm on international stock sense though so I won't know about the GPE edition.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
I'm on a very strong WiFi signal (same network for both phones). The GPE model number is different from the otherz, and that's why Hulu won't do HD...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 3ryce:
Ok so I've been searching through the interweb on how to root my s3 which is already on 4.4. All I get is how to root and install 4.4. However I just wanna root. I've tried chainfire and Odin. Also after I did that it says super su has stopped working. But I believe that's cause th binary is old. I tried to find how to update that And I can't. I even went to the play store to do it but it just said open. Also when I go to app manager it doesn't give me the option to uninstall super su. Sooooo if you guys can help me ide really appreciate the help! Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jonahly:
Haha I've been having plenty of issues rooting mine as well! For SU I think you need to get SU Update Fixer (Playstore).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 3ryce:
I just did through reading other threads. However when it says gaining root access it says fail. Then just sits there and does nothing. Meh

Didn't work

Hey there...

Long to short, i am in same boat! Have been all over XDA and the net to try and find a way to root me S3, Virgin Mobile (sprint) 4.4.2....

Now I spent several days this past week trying to just root the darn thing! Hvae never had such a horrbile time try to root a $#@%&'n Samsung.

I have dont the following

~Odin 3.09, 3.07 and Chainfire Auto root...then read about how 1.85 Odin, should fix this issue....which i did not root.

found some, off the wall place, tried their "Odin" ((which was in chinese, or maybe even Japanese) was set up the same as 1.85, but I could not

read it, the buttons and colors were the same, so i figured "what the heck" .... NO))

~ ALL THESE brought the phone to the point of rooting, like everyone said proir...(phone would show Chain Auto root deal was working, ... " "Rebooting in 10 seconds.'.... (already had SU apk, it would same the same thing " need to update"..." You now have 4.3 and need to find

a way to root"... or something like that

Then read here @ XDA that, those ways seem to not work.. "Need to Odin and install Philz recovery".... Did that with all th e"Odin's" above,

except the old ball jobbie... everytime it reoboots, I then try to get to recoevery, it is not there....it seems to "re-set" bootloader or something, just does not stick!!!!

I really just want to be able to get rid of several stock apps that I dont even use, nor will, and the darn things are running all the time...Thanks Samsung!!!!

Ok if anyone does have some way to do this...PLEASE let me know! Am looking into that towelroot, but not 100% about that at this point!

OH, even found some clowns out there...if you pay them $$$... they will end up sending some package or zip or even #'s, to your phone...within 24hrs..... guess you open that up... TA-DA you are now rooted, adn will be forever!!!! .... Anyone seen such a rip off! dont ytube much, but i guess they are over there... wow, are there really that many ^%#$^& weird-O's out there???

Again, any help from anyone would be more than weclomed ...

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 3ryce:
Install philz thing. And then go download the chain fire from your phone and then I believe go to play store and get the su update fixer. Then reboot into recovery and install zip from card or wherever u saved the chainfire app at. Next after reboot go to the update fixer run that. Believe or supersu might have been installed and I can't remember if I opened that And got it to update the binary or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 3ryce:
At first it didn't seem to be rooted but I had to go through opening supersu and or the su update fixer. It asked me if I wanted to disable Knox crap and I did that Obvi haha.

WORKIN'

GOT IT ROOTED>>>>>

Not sure if it was "Operator Error" or me old eye balls....

I took a break for bit. When I came back, I found that doing Odin 1.85 / Philz Recovery does work!!! Found out that when you are in download, Mode, you DO NOT REBOOT. You actually go right into Philz Recovery, FORM DOWNLOAD MODE, just as you would if it was turned off.. "Home" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" once you see the blue line on top of screen, let go of power.

I did take and selected "Re-root" then "Boot to Recovery" that is what works.

(Of course I had SU already installed, so once out of Recovery the 2nd time, boom, SU was there asking on home screen what to do....

AWESOME!!!

Hope this can help others
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
i used both Towel root (first time) then Philz (second time) and with Philz i had auto-reboot checked and when it finished installing via Odin i just held "Home" + "Vol. Up" while it rebooted and it booted nicely into Philz recovery with no problems :) i guess what ever method works is dependent on your personal S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] godofsalt:
True

Yes it is up to what works and personal prefences. Personal, I like to haev complete control over what is going on in and with my phone. Way too many things I dont need/want out in the public.

As I have said in antoher thread, was this KitKat, is the first one, from Google, with backing from NSA. They really have gone out of the way to have just anyone root there phone. Now, add this Knox in the picture, things are just starting to get rough. The good, not every John Doe will be able to do mods to their phones... The sad, NSA.. not even getting into that!!!

Certainly, this is way places like XDA, are here, and the support and response they get are great! Heck isn't that why we are all here?

Keep up the good work alll
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyhighx:
I'm coming off 2 generations of HTC phones and I'm due an upgrade with Sprint. I bypassed on the GS5 and One M8 for various reasons and the G3 seems to fit my needs but I have a few questions first.

1) Root is must. While I know the phone can be rooted, I'm worried about updates afterward. I'm fine with a stock ROM but I need to know that after I root I can still update Android, bug fixes, radios, new features. Can this be done and if so how (only a very basic description is needed, not a guide lol). I've read the the bootloader can not be unlocked so what are limitations associted with that?

2) Will Android "L" and it's ART only runtime work on this phone? If so, I guess that relates to my question #1 if I'm already rooted.

3) Actually, that's really it. The phone looks amazing and I'm ok with it "only" being a snapdragon 801 with the 805 and beyond right around the corner but I need to know that if I root, I'll be able to easily flash new updates as they become available.

Now that the phone is in the wild in the US, are there any clearer answers to my questions? Thank You.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 557953:
Hi, first of all I would like to say the phone is great, it seems to get some negative comments here but since I got one I have been very happy with my first LG handset.

Ok we'll you can't get ota's after rooting, I haven't received any official updates yet so I'm not sure if we can just full uproot with supersu to get the it a again or not. But flashing a stock firmware is a pretty simple procedure and the kind folks here at xda keep us up to date with all the stock firmware so you can update and then reroot.

ART will run on this phone no problem at all however it seems android L may break root so if root is a must you may be best advised to look into you're updates before hand, which is another advantage of getting you're stock rom's at xda. Would be pretty frustrating to agree to a ota and find out you can no longer root when it's done.

But in short, root is fine on 'nearly' all he variants and flashing stock fw manually is not to much fuss.

Hope that helps you a little.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyhighx:
It does help a bit. Thank you but I need to have this clear in my head. With HTC, in order to update radios, you needed s-off, which was more than just root. That's what I'm hesitant about here, if I root, and want an update the g3, I have to unroot, update and re root? What if the update prevents root? I don't want to be stuck with a choice of updating or keeping root on a phone that won't be able to stay updated with the latest version and patches of software.

Really, knowing that I'll be able to root, and update firmware, radios and software throughout the life of the phone is the only thing holding me back from an LG G3 or waiting for the note 4 and a probably larger development base. I'd prefer the G3 so I hope it can be assured.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
If you're into rooting and flashing custom rooms I would seriously avoid this phone and wait for note 4. Trust me when you get your hands on this phone the first thing you want to do is get rid of the lag. It seriously lags worse then S5. I'm a HTC fan and found the lag really annoying constantly using task manager which I hate doing.

So if you are a rooter and love to flash roms don't buy.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasvncnt1:
its funny you say that. I looked at the phone today. First thing I thought of when I looked at it was touchwiz. The UI just seemed very laggy. Maybe after all the hype I was just expecting a bit more. Nice phone but didn't "wow" me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyagg:
I'm coming from the s4 and s3 prior to that. I have looked into every phone and leak there is but decided the G3 was the right fit.

I got my G3 early Thursday from AT&T and I have no complaints thus far. I do notice slight lag from time to time but if you're on XDA and are use to custom slimmed down ROMs then yes, you'll kind of notice it. But trust me, it is far from a deal breaker.

Here's the thing, in a few weeks there will be numerous ROM's that have stripped away the bloatware and added a few tweaks and the lag will be non existent. I already have my phone rooted and have deleted most of the bloatware and added UI tweaks. I barely notice lag and I'm actually enjoying the UI.

This is just my 2 cents. And being loyal Samsung customer for years I can honestly say I prefer LG 's new UI over touchwiz any day.

I rooted with ioroot, deleted all useless apps and froze others that I don't use with titanium backup.

I still have some lag but nothing that is driving me crazy by any means. The only time it lagged for me was when I used the LG health screen and I think the photo gallery. I turned off the health screen and I've always use QuickPic instead of stock gallery. Most my lag is gone but not all.
