It's having root that is keeping you from updating. Not tripping Knox.

I'd download the latest firmware. From sammobile or shinyside's links. And use Odin to flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordodin912:
Anyway to flash or odin a custom os with a stock kernel and recovery without tripping knox? Mabey a modified official tar? Just replace system, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It might be possible but I don't know the procedure. I imagine it must be very unconventional, otherwise we would see it very often
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] modthis:
Thanks, SEAndroid kernel not enforcing worried me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordodin912:
Hmmmmmm wish I were a bit more fluent in this area.....itd be nice if you could just replace/repackage the tar file....then mabey id get off MDL....just read something about repacking tar files for odin and apparently you cant pull and repackage the system without breaking the signature (of the system) therefore odin wont flash....but imma noob in this area. If anyones got any info, please share
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] modthis:
Use this to go back to stock and fix Knox then root again with towelroot method.

Thanks for the info!

Just for clarity: What does having a tripped Knox bit mean? Just that the phone has been tampered with and possibly voiding the warranty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yes, and it also means you can no longer use the Knox service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
So good news... Well not for us just yet.... Someone successfully reset Knox counter back to 0x0 on the note 3 exynos variant .... :)

No shizzz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Yep. On the note 3 it's displayed as

For not tripped.

is anyone using their g3 with straight talk? they worked fine on my g2 and i just got the g3 today and my mms will not go through. i tried pretty much every possible apn combo and still nothing!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
download the apn settings app and follow the steps. it most likely your APN type down at the bottom of the profile. i was having problems with it before i did this. now i can send and receive MMS.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoda:
I'm also having the same problem with my G3 on Straight Talk, and am trying to find a solution for it until I stumbled on this thread. I have no idea what you meant by "space instead of a period in the mmsc proxy".

My MMSC setting is set as: h**p://mms-tf.net [I can't post links on my posts yet, replace ** with tt]

MMS proxy: mm3.tracfone.com

MMS port: 80

MMC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: None

APN type: default,hipri

I've also googled around and see what other people have as their APN settings on straight talk and the only thing that they had different was:

Auth Type: PAP

APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri

I changed my APN settings to that, but I still have the same problem with mms.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

My mms works great with mms on gophone. See if switching to a New SIM will help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
Just download their APN settings app and follow the steps!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoda:
I tried that, the settings on the APN Settings app didn't help. It seems like the settings are from older phones. Once I applied the settings (please see attached) I lost data connection and the mms still didn't work.

This is the instructions Straight Talk e-mailed me:

APN PROGRAMMING FOR MOST PHONE MODELS:

Once you have reached your phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings, create a new APN with the following values.

APN Name: Straight Talk

APN: tfdata

Port: 80

MMSC: h**p://mms-tf.net (replace ** with tt)

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS Port: 80

Delete the current APN from your phone.

Reboot your phone.

That is the current settings I'm on now. 4G works fine, just not MMS.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoda:
Could be a SIM card issue, but I had just gotten this SIM card last week. When I googled around it seems like some people were able to solve it via APN settings. Just not sure how they did that before I go out and get a new SIM card.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
Look at my screen shots.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoda:
Thank you so much! That fixed it! The only thing that was different was Port should not have been set, but instead set the port for MMS Port. Also the APN type was changed to: default,mms,supl.

I wonder why Straight Talk would give mis-leading information? I guess they didn't throughly test out their settings before telling users to set it.

Thanks again!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asialove2013:
Port and MMS port

What is the difference between Port and MMS port?

So the right way to set up APN settings is leave the port alone, and set the mms port to 80?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
Yup. btw those setting came directly from the App!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoda:
Really? Not sure if I had downloaded the right app. Does the app look like the screen shot I had a few posts ago? I couldn't find the settings you had in that app.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotmilk702:
Hey guys,

I'm on AT&T G3 on AT&T and have no problems, but from years of tinkering with various devices, one thing that often worked for me was instead of relying on the APN settings in settings was to use Go SMS Pro and go into the advanced settings and change the APN settings in there.

Without rhyme or reason, I've had phones absolutely refuse to work with MMS using the correct stock APN settings but work just fine with Go SMS Pro and Go SMS Pro's settings (I think that's why they included the feature in the first place.)

The funny thing is that the stock messaging app on G3 is the first one I've liked enough to use instead of Go SMS Pro...

If that works, the issue is probably with LG and not the carriers so try it out and if it works, bug the hell out of LG.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_hermon:
My settings are Identical to yours and my MMS still doesn't work. I used the app and everything. Here's what I'm wondering. First, I've read on other forums' threads that some people, even with correct APN settings, weren't able to receive MMS until their current 30 day cycle expired and another renewed. After which they were able to receive MMS with the exact same APN settings they had before the service renewal. Second, I think I've read elsewhere that some new customers, which I am one, had to wait several days before their MMS would start working though I have no idea why.

As I said, I used the app, my settings are identical to yours and my sim card is brand new. I am a new customer, so do you think either of these other explanations could be possible? Anybody else care to chime in with similar experience? FWIW, I have the D851 model. Thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
I'm not sure. I've been with them for a while now. From what I say most ppl mess up the APN type. If that isn't the problem have someone send you a picture, hopefully it comes through and then you try to send one back. If that works after that then you are all set to go! I'm still on the G3 with Straight Talk(AT&T) and my mms does work.

this work

Thanks to this thread i got my lg g3 up and running with mms working great. Was searching for hours on end.. o the setting on here worked for me..other things i notice, if the weather is bad out, sometime even with the correct setting it will not send/receive mms. Last night we had wind and temp drop to low 40s, cloudy, slight rain. Mms died on my iphone 4s using the same sim. When it was working fine earlier.. so sometime just wait til the next day and try putting in the same apn again. It will work..

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theBatman517:
I'm also having this problem. My APN setting seem to be correct (I bet I've tried 10 different ones) and for some reason I cannot recieve MMS. I can send and receive SMS and send MMS, but cannot receive. I also noticed up in the top corner a little sim card icon with a question mark.

**My thought is this. I bought the LG G3 unlocked and activated it on Verizon before my plan was up. Then, I moved to straight talk and activated using the AT&T sim card. Could it be that I needed to activate using the Verizon sim because it was on that network first, or does it not matter because the phone was unlocked? If that's the case, I'm completely lost on what to do next.

Hi, I have a really big Problem

(I know there are Threads existing, that discuss the topic, but they didn't help T.T)

I just encrypted my Phone (Asus PadFone2) while SwiftKey was enabled (all other Keyboards are disabled except for "SwiftKey Japanese Beta").

Now I get the "Type password to decrypt storage"-Screen but there is no keyboard.

Do you have any suggestions? The device is rooted and USB Debugging is enabled, but I don't get any acces over ADB (eccept when in recovery mode, but that didn't do me any good so far, because "\data couldn't be found" ...)

I'm quite desperate, because I'm not really fond of the idea to do a hard reset.

Please Help!

O.K. I accidentally wiped my phone, while trying to install a new rom. I have recovery mode, but there's nothing on the phone. The "stock" recovery is also gone. I was trying to install the Optimus G3 v 1.2, and it all went south. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:(

sorry I did not understand you problem in full. Because i do not understand the word total wipe. Because either the custom recovery or the stock recovery will last even if you perform a full wipe or so called factory reset (if that what you mean by total wipe :) ) .

Sorry if you didn't understand me. What i meant was that my phone's information, everything on the phone, was accidentally erased. I brought it to someone who will put a recovery rom back on the phone, and from there i can get it back to where i had it, before i erased all my information. I have since learned that i could have fixed the phone myself, if i had a USB-OTG cable and a flash drive. These items i will purchase, and this problem will never happen again. Thanks.:)

Okay, so my phone has about 2GB of internal storage for all my apps and whatnot, but now my phone only has 441 mb of internal storage after flashing this rom.

My phone is the samsung showcase/fascinate, the sch-i500, but I don't think it really matters what phone I have in this situation.

I used root explorer to look at my system files and when I go to /data, root explorer says that there is only 441 mb, just like it says in the settings. But when I go to /system, there is 1.21 GB storage free. And shouldn't these two be the same, or shared or something because I have all this space that system apps can use up but not my regular user apps [emoji35]

The rom I flashed is;

Is there any way to fix this?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Zdog291:
Aside from an LTE radio the other big addition to the Moto G LTE is the sdcard slot. Unfortunately we were not given any more ram,

but after searching XDA I found a script for adding swap via the sdcard the works on the stock Moto G LTE rom after a few additions.

I did this on x1045 but it should work on all models.

1. Root your phone, easiest way is to flash from a custom recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/progress-twrp-2-7-1-0-source-t2807585

2. Install busy box from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

3. Enable int.d scripts, I used this app from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=en

4. Install a script runner, I used this one from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en

5. You should have all you need to follow defiant07's thread for running their script to add swap:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359182

6. After a reboot I used Terminal Emulator to check if swap was actual activated via

free

you should see numbers in the swap row, if it's all zeros then it didn't work.

[Moto G 4G Android Development] vpnair:
I would be interested to know real world experience with this setup. I have never liked RAM swap (SD degradation, battery life, heat, etc) and would always use it as a last resort. The only issue with RAM i have had with Moto G LTE (i had Moto G before) was the aggressive minfree values. Decreased it from 48,60,72,84,96,120 MB to 10,20,27,50,58,66 MB and I have achieved smoother results by increasing the RAM that is available to me.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] suhridkhan:
how do you play with these values...?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] SoulSeekerHS:
Looked into it and MinFreeManager from the play store seems ideal. But read up on the app categories before you tinker.

Just reduced the "minfreeram" value to 60mb accross the board... let's see if i notice the difference.

But this is very OT. Start a new thread if you want to discuss further. :)

Sent from my Moto G 4G
[Moto G 4G Android Development] eruji:
What improvements are you seeing? my moto go will shut down navigation, beyondpod playback, google music if hit home or start anything else. I ran the script and used the authors minfree values and dont notice any improvement.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] SoulSeekerHS:
I see vast improvements, with apps being killed much less frequently. before, my Moto g would keep free RAM an around 160MB, resulting in apps being killed just by switching to the launcher. Now I have less free RAM and apps "live" a lot longer.

I used MinFreeManager (don't forget to grant root access) wit the values 8 14 16 29 34 64 and set to apply on boot.

If you don't see improvements, try a different app and check if the values are actually applied. You could also try to lower the values even more. I would advice to leave enough room between the last 2 though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbb1robert:
Dailer for my every day phone.

Boot problem is on a phone I bought to repair.

The battery came out of a working i777 that had cm7/cm10/aocp kitkat.It worked fine on all ROMs flashed.And it was fully charged.

The phone boots fully into os or recovery.Then shuts down.Not boot

looping startup screen.

Could this problem be brick bug?phone had lock screen before I wiped/reset.not sure what ROM.it was stock from what I could see.

won't boot into download mode.will boot into os and recovery but shuts down then goes into bootloop.

any way around this problem?may change out motherboard.

any comments or threads to check would be a help.thnx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you haven't seen it, here is the list of ways to get into download mode:

1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.

2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.

3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.

4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.

5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".

6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.

It's strange that you can boot into recovery and not into download, so try all of these to see if you can get download mode some way.

I suppose it is possible that there is eMMC memory damage, but it would have to be only a very small segment of the memory for your symptoms. I'd be inclined to think the problem is not damaged memory, but I don't remember seeing those exact symptoms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbb1robert:
Could a bad power button cause this problem?anyway to check besides replace part?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
A bad power button can cause continuous or spontaneous rebooting while using the stock firmware. I don't know of a method to check that, without simply replacing the switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbb1robert:
Is that switch replaceable or is it more feasible to replace motherboard?I can't tell if its soldered or plug in.

Can u direct me to a thread or website to find out more.thnx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It is not replaceable without purchasing expensive specialized hot air soldering equipment. I use a professional Hakko soldering station and I would not attempt it. The button, which is relatively small, must be de-soldered and replaced. It is so small that it does not even have leads, just soldering pads. You can watch a Youtube video of a technician replacing the power button on a T-Mobile S2.

A failed power button will not function at all. The most normal symptom is that the phone will spontaneously boot up when the battery is inserted. But as Cyril says, a failing power button can cause other symptoms.
