[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deduction:
The guide definitely works. Not for the faint of heart, but it's a sure-fire way to stop CIQ's spying eyes.

I would be willing to post the recompiled ext.jar but honestly it's not that hard to do yourself. The downsides to using someone else's ext.jar should be apparent (security, for one) but I think if people really want it, they should be able to download it. As a CISSP, I promise to exercise the ethical responsibilities that I vowed to uphold. But, decompile it yourself and check my work if you don't trust it. That's probably the best way to verify - but then, why not just do the work yourself?

To deploy these jars without requiring a non-stock recovery, place them somewhere usable (for me, /sdcard/Download) and execute the following as root:

cat /sdcard/Download/ext.jar > /system/framework/ext.jar
cat /sdcard/Download/services.jar > /system/framework/services.jar

DO NOT USE THE `mv` COMMAND. In android, it does not work the way you expect GNU mv to work. Use cat.

Also you will want to wipe /data/dalvik and /data/dalvik-cache, then reboot!

Below is a large-ish image that shows my SGS5 with CIQ disabled. I have not tripped my knox counter and I have not installed a third-party bootloader. I wiped cache manually.​

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] deduction:
Good question. I haven't run any performance metrics before or after the modification so I cannot answer with certainty. However, CIQ is designed to monitor LOTS of activity in the background (location, phone status, "diagnostic information") and upload it without your knowledge. Also, the data can be manually fetched by the carrier/authorities.

It stands to reason that disabling these threads and background processes would free up some of the phone's resources to do other things; however, these are pretty beastly devices that can handle simple stuff like CIQ spying with ease.

For more information about CIQ and what it does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Very well put, I didn't do any metrics either prior to the mod so can't speak to the performance either. but in theory it could given the correct circumstances. there is more to this that i have not posted yet as an addition to init.d by stopping some other background services but im still trying to determine if that portion is even needed. i have browsed thru the several more frameworks and found additional CIQ componenets but as of yet have not been able to successfuly remove them without causing compile errors or FC's within the framework itself. I am still actively working on this so continue to check back :D

[LG G Pro 2] roykulkarni:
Hey,

Please answer as much as possible:

1) Can you see the LG logo ? (when starting up. Try on full charge)

2) Can you get to the download mode ?

3) did you download the kdz file ? (follow http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-g-pro-2-with-a-kdz-firmware.html

4) if you can install using kdz method it will be much easier as the software does all the work . So install all the tools mentioned in the site and see if it can detect the phone.

All the best :good:

EDIT:

Step 1: Enter Download mode (You should be able to enter by pressing Volume Up + Power key. hold for 15seconds)

Step 2: Download kdz file for your model

Step 3 Use LG Flash Tool 2014 (Works 100%)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyboy19762:
SM-N900VVRUCNC4 Rooted using towelroot. When trying to boot into recovery get an error. Unauthorized software Bla Bla. What is the next step to gain full root and be able to install custom roms. Already voided warranty so easier the better. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Towelroot does not grant you full root but it works like a normal iOS jailbreak using a userland/kernel exploit.

If you want to install a custom recovery you didn't need to use towelroot to preserve your KNOX, because you can't do so.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSMinCT:
My day to day phone is an iPhone 4S, but the camera is disabled on it (work restriction), so I have an SGS III for traveling/ weekends (usually used with no SIM just for pictures).

The SGS III was running a TW-based 4.1.1 ROM, and I want to go back to completely stock. I flashed the 4.1.1 stock AT&T ROM, which works fine, but it can't update OTA or through Kies. I un-rooted the phone, and that didn't help with Kies, so now I'm stuck in some in-between purgatory with a working, but very out of date OS. CWM must still be on there somewhere too.

How do I get out of this? It looks like I need to get back to the stock bootloader and recovery, but how does one do this? I used to be great at flashing ROMs back in the SGS I/Captivate days, but man has it gotten complicated since then! I read a number of threads, but none of them seem to address this particular scenario.

I'd be open to going to a very close to stock ROM if that's easier than going back to a completely stock setup, but I'd prefer to go completely stock.

I'm going on a trip on Wednesday, and I'd much rather have 4.4.2 than 4.1.1 when I swap the SIM over for some blistering fast LTE on my travels.

Plus, my mom has the same phone, and hers was never rooted, so she got OTA updates and now she has a newer version of Android than I do. :(

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSMinCT:
So after a day stuck on 4.1.1, the phone decided that it wanted to do OTA updates to get to 4.3 and then 4.4.2, so now I'm upgraded. The problem I'm having now is that my GPS is completely shot, it will only work once in a while and then flake out. My mom has a twin to my phone that's never been rooted or had ROMs installed on it, and it's GPS works just fine. What gives? It was extremely frustrating have to revert back to my iPhone while traveling. If I didn't have the iPhone, I would have been royally screwed trying to travel without working GPS... I am completely fed up with Samsuck at this point!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
Sounds like you have a mixed up modem. Make sure you have root and then try flashing the modem zip in cwm recovery. It's the NE4 modern and is listed in the development forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSMinCT:
Thanks, I'll have to look into that and flash it.

Maybe the modem just didn't get updated? I'm so fed up with the thing, I might just try flashing CyanogenMOD or something to see what almost real Android feel like. TW is even laggier and buggier than I expected... We'll see.

I don't think I have a root right now, but I'm pretty sure that I do in fact have CWM... in that case, can I just go ahead and flash the modem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
Ota would not have worked if you had cwm, it will only work on stock recovery. Your modem is probably fine as well because a mismatched modem/bootloader would cause unknown baseband and no imei issues, not just a flakey gps. There are other threads on fixing gps issues, some codes to enter in the dialer, but since yours comes and goes you may just need to tighten the screws, I've heard that sometimes helps.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSMinCT:
Or not. I just went out for a quick errand, and threw the GPS on. Nothing. It must have looked like it was working based on Wifi or something. Surprisingly, it can't even fake it using tower triangulation, which, in theory, should be almost as good as GPS...

I'll take a look into the screw thing. It wouldn't surprise me since I swap between the SGS III and an iPhone, so I pull the phone apart a lot, and it's a cheap plasticky design.

I'm about to throw this POS out the window! I only paid $50 for it on contract, so I'm not too upset, but it's highly unlikely that I'll buy any more Samsuck phones after having three Craptivates (they kept breaking and getting warranty swapped), and now this POS.

And I can't seem to sync any music to my iPhone, but at least that has working GPS LOL...

Hi! I've been playing around with updating my Bluetooth to Widcomm 1.0.0.3500 as well as Widcomm 1.5.0.2000 in order to connect to my HP Bluetooth GPS Unit. The furthest I've got is to pair the GPS unit with my phone on BT Serial, but my Tomtom could never get any signals off it, so I'm suspecting that the Bluetooth connection's not properly made.

What do I do? I suspect I've corrupted my Widcomm bluetooth too much to do anything with it anymore. Can I go back to Microsoft's bluetooth stack anymore, without having to hard reset?

Is there a way to add an APN so I can keep a steady connection?
