[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie1888:
Hi Guys

I'm trying to root this phone so after a bit of looking around I have vroot and all the drivers for the phone.

I have the English version of the software but half way through the root, it ask for something to be done in Chinese which I'm not sure what it needs.

On screen I get the options to hit next and on the phone its enable restore or not.

Anyone have any clues as to what needs to be done to stop the root failing ?

Thanks

Richie

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trabacchin.luigi:
I Did, just install Vroot or RootGenius they should do the trick.

i went for RootGenius

i suggest u to install CWM recovery after rooting and keeping a copy of the original rom

Sorry i cannot post link since i registered only to answer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jthspace:
Thanks, Trabacchin.luigi - most helpful Just got my S208 today and XDA first place to come for helpful info :)

RootGenius did not work, but then again, I am running it in Paralells desktop on MAC which may be the issue. Awaiting for a Windows machine to be free to try it on that.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Update - Vroot worked first time.

Couple of pointers for others:

RootGenius loads LOTS of junk stuff to your PC unless you custom install and be VERY CAREFUL to deny loading of "apps". Lots of double-negative options, looks like you are saying "no" but you are really saying "yes". Be careful.

Vroot worked straight away - BUT loads some Chinese options on your phone and all of a sudden your call logs, contacts, SMS etc are being accessed. All text in Chinese characters so do not know what exactly the apps are. Deleted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jthspace:
Well, I had LOTS of problems subsequently with Vroot (now iRoot). In the end, I unrooted and used KINGO ROOT and it worked first time, with no extra odd apps loaded, doing who-knows-what (iRoot add-ons!).

Anyway, have now rooted the S208 and I hope to be able to update the firmware, resizing the partitions at the same time.

Hello,

Hope u all doing well :)

Our team, after release a new game, stuck with a big problem called ' This item isn't available in your country'

We did a lot of tests on our devices, with different accounts and can;t understand anything at all.

For example :

Let's do a test using two accounts A and B.

Take Galaxy Tab2 and use account A, search for our app - app not found (isn't available)

Take Galaxy Tab2 and user account B, search for our app - found!

Now

Take LG G2 and use account A, search for our app - found!!!

Take LG G2 and use account B, search for our app - also found....

Any suggestions?

Please, try to download or just find our game in Google Play.

Here is the web link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gipnetix.berryking

Thank you very much for your time.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhitney24:
I have a question about this whole Towelroot thing. If I use it on this new att G3, and an update comes from att, would the phone still be able to accept the ota update?

I'm thinking yes, but just want to confirm.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeone:
If you root, you lose OTA updates.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertc88:
Is there a video showing Towelroot for the G3? And then I think you have to install Superuser somehow?

It is all new to me but I would have to decide about not getting updates afterwards but I may cave and try it anyway if it is straightforward.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhitney24:
Well since this method does not mess with boot loader or recovery I figured you still could.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bus Driver:
I'm also new to rooting the G3, but if I understand correctly to be able to receive OTA updates you need to unroot, either via Superuser or the LG PC Suite, both methods will not wipe your device. After updating just reroot again.

Step 1. Download Normal Whatsapp :3 and Install It, Do you thing and verify your number and stuff! when you finish you should see Device Not Supported Message Popping Out. Exit Whatsapp And Uninstall It.

Step 2. Download Whatsapp+ And Install it , If You dont know How to get whatsapp+ Just use this link -.-

Here​

After You Install It, And You Do your Number Verification and Stuff, You Will Not See "Device Is Not Supported" Message Anymore :)

PS : If You delete whatsapp+ and try installing the normal whatsapp, the Message will come again Idk why. and if You install whatsapp+ Directly (Before installing normal whatsapp) A Message Will Popout saying That "Your Whatsapp is Modified Bull****" .

This has been tested and Is working On My NokiaXL :) Please tell me If it works for you too :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falapt:
Hello xda community,

Over the weekend I flashed MIUI rom on my N900 note 3, for that to work properly I had to flash a different modem.

So I switched modem (baseband?) from N900UBUDNC1 to N900XXUENE1.

Now my problem is that I can't find any way to download the modem N900UBUDNC1. I've been searching for hours.

If I reflash my stock firmware I don't have carrier signal because I still have the N900XXUENE1 modem installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tjoohej:
Modems are generally hard to come by, you will have to download the whole firmware and extract just the modem from it. It's probably going to take time but what choice do you have. :)

Or you can search harder next time, I think I just found you a rom here on xda with the same modem, much easier.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falapt:
I searched for hours, trust me :|

I appreciate your help, I'll try this afternoon when I get home. I have the stock 4.4.2 firmware which I always use when I need to start from scratch. I'll extract that one and see if I can find the modem file there.

EDIT: will any NC1 modem work, or does it have to be specifically the one I originally had?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tjoohej:
Sorry, I'm wrong guy to ask, hope it goes well, flash away!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falapt:
Ok, I've tried for some more hours yesterday, but couldn't get it to work. Tried Odin and also CWM.

It still doesn't work with stock rom... but when I go back to flashing MIUI + N900XXUENE1 modem (through CWM, first rom, then modem), I once again get signal.

I downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile (about 1.2GB) and from what I saw there, I should have modem N900UBUDNC1, but after succesfully flashing it, I have no signal, unknown baseband and IMEI

I'm sorry if this is kinda obvious, but I can't seem to get it to work. Luckily I am happy with MIUI, but I want to be sure there's a way to get back to stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adoeakyo:
Hello there,

I'm new with android customization, and I'd like to know, it would be the best kernel with rom GlamourS5:

And if GlamourS5 rom is the best rom for my S3 closely as possible to S5.

I need a good battery and performance

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
In short the best kernel is the one supplied with the ROM, this is probably the only kernel optimised for your ROM. If you require additional kernel features pick a kernel as required.

As for best ROM I'm afraid the only person who can answer that is you, and the only way to determine the best ROM for you is trying them out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciuppo:
Try archikernel 1.3. For me it is the best..no FC and no random reboot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TragicSync:
For those of us with the AT&T Galaxy S5 who were oh so pleasantly surprised to find that AT&T had disabled some features on their Galaxy S5 model in favor of their own bloatware, here is a fix for enabling car mode for hands free use while driving. This method does not require any flashing, custom ROMS or recovery.

This is a list of modifications done to my phone for reference. Not all may be required. Rooted with TowelRoot (SuperSU), Safestrap recovery installed (with busybox), Xposed framework with Wanam xposed installed (to turn of the emergency call feature on lock screen, disable wake with home button, and disable camera shutter sound), SQLite Editor installed and all AT&T bloatware turned off (make sure AT&T DriveMode is turned off if nothing else).

1. You must have root. If you don't yet have your phone rooted just go to towelroot.com and get Geohot's towelroot app and run it.

2. Refer to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2720257) for instructions on how to install the DriveLink APKs. This thread references the Note3 running Android 4.4.2 but the same process is used on the S5.

3. Refer to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733065) for instructions on how to enable the quick setting tile for Car Mode.

4. Place "DriveLink.apk" and "DriveLinkRemote.apk" on your external SD.

5. Browse to where you placed "DriveLink.apk" and "DriveLinkRemote.apk"

6. install the 2 apk.

7. Open up SQLite Editor

8. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select

9. Click settings.db

10. Click system

11. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)

12. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok

13. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit

14. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "CarMode" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry) (Note: I added a ";" at the end of CarMode as there was one already after the last tile in the list)

15. Once you add "CarMode", click save button.

16. Close SQLite editor and reboot

After reboot you should be able to activate car mode with the added quick setting tile (steering wheel).

NOTE: If car mode crashes at the main screen go to settings -> App Settings -> swipe over to all, scroll down to car mode and select it then click clear cache, clear data, force stop. then uninstall it. After it is uninstalled reboot the phone TWICE then re-install car mode and reboot. It should work after that.

Special thanks to RevelationOmega and ivanjong for doing all the real work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Russ77:
I'm on basically stock, rooted, no busybox, no safestrap, no xposed.

I followed your steps precisely, didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
It worked for me. What exactly isn't working? Did you get the button to show up in your quick toggles? Or is it crashing or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Russ77:
I didn't get the button and the app didn't show up in my app drawer. it installed ok but nothing worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
No app shows up in my drawer either, but the toggle opens it fine for me. Just to cover all bases: when you do the database edit for the button, make sure to type it with capital "c" and "m". It is case sensitive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Russ77:
step 6: install the 2 apk's.

are you guys clicking the apk file and installing them or are you pushing them to /system/priv-app?

I was just installing them conventionally but I'm thinking that was the issue...

edit: I was messing up the list I was editing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TragicSync:
having problems?

For those having trouble just a few tips:

-You will not get an icon in your app drawer. The only way to launch the app is with the quick launch button unless you use an app for creating shortcuts maybe.

-When editing the database make sure you are editing the line notification_panel_active_app_list. There are other lines with very similar names. Also, make sure you enter the item as CarMode with a capital C and M with no space.

-You don't have to push the apps to the system folder they can be installed as user apps. Just click on them and install them as you would any other app. This is how it is set up on my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zeddock:
Would anyone care to give a short description as to what car mode SHOULD do? I have never had a phone with it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TragicSync:
Car Mode description

Car Mode allows you to control certain functions of your phone with hands free voice commands. You can make and receive phone calls, listen, compose and respond to texts as well as control navigation and music. Car Mode brings up a simplified launcher with four large icons for phone, messages, navigation and music that are easy to control while driving if you choose to access these manually. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Hope this helped.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Gonzzox:
Hi guys, I have an AT&T Galaxy S5 Active and as many other users I don't have the CarMode toggle in the notification bar either.

I followed all steps here to enable this icon in the notification bar, but unfortunately it partially worked.

First I had to download the 'DriveLink.apk" and "DriveLinkRemote.apk (from the link you provide on step two, post #19) as I didn't have them on my phone. After installing I modified the settings.db with SQLite Editor and added 'CarMode'. After rebooting the phone the toggle appears in the notification bar (which is a good thing), but when I press the icon there's an error message saying 'Unfortunately, car mode has stopped'. So, I did what you said if I found the app crashing: 'click clear cache, clear data, force stop. then uninstall it. After it is uninstalled reboot the phone TWICE then re-install car mode and reboot'. However, after doing all that it KEEPS crashing and giving me that message. It just takes me to the welcoming screen of the app, then I click next and when I agree with the terms of service and click next to keep going it crashes again!.

Any ideas or suggestions to SOLVE this issue???? Is it possible to enable car mode on the AT&T S5 Active???, or maybe I need to download different 'DriveLink.apk" and "DriveLinkRemote.apk files as the ones available on the other thread are meant for the S5 G900 only???.

Please, if anyone using an S5 Active did manage to enable CarMode it'd be greatly appreciated to share the way to do it

Thanks!

Hi All,

I have been trying a few different ROMs out over the last day, as I've found CM11 to be brutally unstable, and I had settled on FoxHound, except it decided to completely lock out my mobile data, so I had to try something else.

I went to install Infamous to give it a whirl, and when I click on Install Zip > Install Zip from /extsdcard > picked .zip from the list, CWM Recovery just flashes a black screen, and returns to the main menu.

This happens regardless of which zip file I use, I've rebooted several times including pulling the battery, and had no success.

I was able to restore a rooted stock backup and get my phone at least working again, but I'm curious to know if anyone has an idea why CWM is suddenly acting so strange?

Hello friend!

I already bought my Xperia Z2 here in Brazil and I am loving it.

i am learning a lot with people in this forum! really cool.

the answer is that you can flash other ROMs BUT only the DTV will not work.

here in brazil we are still in the firmware .55

and the world has many updated ROMs for us to flash like .402 and .438

you need to choose: you prefer to watch TV on your phone or do you prefer to keep it up-to-date?:p
