Thanks for the tips everyone.

About hot spots. I rooted my G2 and was able to tether whereas before, AT&T prevented this function unless I paid extra.

Not sure I want t o do it at this point because the risk/benefit isn't worth it for me. This phone has so much storage that the bloatware isn't an issue and I never really tethered as much as I thought I would. Too bad about the FM radio. Regaining that function would persuade me.

I would like to be able to buy a cable so that when i am away i can plug my Tab into an HDMI TV and watch movies directly. I know that it is possible but before i root my tab, are there complications on rooted devices that would make this function unavailable?

Any cable recommendations greatly received.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] edan1979:
I use MHL cable. Kind of 3 way cable. 1 to your device, 1 to the hdmi port and another 1 is usb charging port

I went for the Chromecast and Allcast app from clockwork. It gave me some trouble initially but now is working well. I'm yet to test it with WiFi AP as the router. I hope I can use it when I travel without a bringing a router
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] DynamicDusa:
is there any way around this without plugging into a charging port?

I used to use the Ipad and you only needed 1 cable for that...

I wanted to use for presentations so the last thing i want is needing to plug it in charge!

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] edan1979:
its working without charging. but your battery will drain fast.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] DynamicDusa:
Great - how did you do it? lol

I have an MHL-HDMI cable and it was just not connecting at all (without charging) infact I didnt even know you had to plug it into a charger into I read your post, I just went to a meeting room and connected all up again, this time plugging in the charger and hey presto it works!! :)

As soon as I pull the charger out I loose picture - does that MHL device need charging up?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] edan1979:
dont know... mine just work that way... lol... you can also plug in to the usb port on the display.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttouch:
I really want to run pure linux on my android based device (please, no chroot, etc. suggestions) and I want to fully understand how my device boots. I'm trying to dig into the recovery and boot partition, without success (I figured out boot.img, but I can't open recovery.img) What do you suggest me to read?

Also, I saw that there is a second kernel inside recovery.img. is that right? If yes, what happens? When the real kernel is loaded? I want to make the android init to mount an img from the sdcard and execute /bin/init in it, in order to boot my linux system. Should I alter the ramdisk (hence the boot partition) or the recovery?

I also posted this to stackexchange [1] but got no helpful response.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, i'm new on the XDA Forums and sorry for bad english, so the problem is : I want to Install CM11 Nightly on my 4.4.2 SGH-I747M but when I want to flash the roms with TWRP, it's say :

getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCUEMJ2"

getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1747UCUEMJB"

getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MVLDMF1"

getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MVLUEMK5"

getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747MVLUEMK3"

now on 4.4.2 my bootloader is : I747MVLUFNE6, my old bootloader on JB 4.3 was I747MVLUEMK5.. So the question is : Can i Downgrade to 4.3 Stock JB by just flashing the 4.3 rom :confused: if not, is there another method to downgrade? Because I really want CM on my GS3 :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
No you can't downgrade, it will brick your phone.

That being said, it should be fine to flash CM on your current bootloaders. I suggest you make sure first but you can manually add the line in the updater-script for NE6 and the flash will go through.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xCartel:
Okay thanks, yes i can modify the uptader-script. But I have read on another forum that it was not recommeded to manually add my bootloader to the uptader-script.. is it safe ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
For safety, I would backup everything and have NE6 stock ready to flash on Odin. But I do believe it should be fine, unless said so by CM or another user who tried it before. A little search on that could be a good idea.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xCartel:
yes i have a NE6 stock to flash on my PC, thanks for fast reply i will try it now :)

[Verizon LG G2] simple_fear85:
yes you can but make sure they are verizon roms
[Verizon LG G2] mkhan231:
Will I have to change APN settings or something or will it work as soon as it detects a sim?
[Verizon LG G2] simple_fear85:
I havent tried it but i believe once it detects the sim it will change itself. What you should do is install the sim turn the phone one. Let it boot up, and then reboot. should work. If for whatever the reason it doesnt fix it then you have to change the apn settings. But you should be ok.
[Verizon LG G2] mkhan231:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonwarrior:
Hello everyone, I started to play around with all the diff things you can do with a rooted phone had plans for getting a custom ROM for my phone. Let me stat by saying that I am very new to all this.

I day ago i was getting ready to install the custom ROM for viper (ViperOneM8_1.7.1) reason being is coming from a htc one m7 with sense i wanted to get back to sense from my stock GPe m8.

I was able to unlock my bootloader and get my phone rooted I fallowed this video (How to Root your HTC One M8 - Full Guide) From Sakitech... or least I think im rooted still... I'll come back to you as to why I say "I think I'm rooted".

I thought it would be very simple just fire up the custom recovery and flash the ROM and sit back while it flashed, well everything went down hill from this point. Let me tell you what i did.

First i got to the custom recovery and I did a wipe I did advanced wipe and checked the boxes this is where I think I deleted the OS(after this I could not get back on the phone to do anything only will boot to recovery and it say no OS installed then asks if I want to get SuperSU installed this is where I already thought I was rooted but maybe on not??? I'm very confused about that

Then I used the sideload method to push the rom zip and try to flash the rom at this point I cant get it to flash. First I was getting the MD5 error I checked that off now it will just fail either saying error executing the binary from the zip or that zip is corrupted. (I tried re-downloading the ROM even from mirror link)

At this point I am very frustrated and feel helpless. I tried my best to keep from posting this and try to research to see if i can find the solution myself but I'm having no luck I have my days off from work to get my phone up and running or ill just have to go but another phone. :( At this point I really need some help. All I want is a working phone if i can get back to GPe stock that would be fine or make the ViperOne work.

Attempts to solve my problem: I tried flashing GPE4.4.3_m8.zip and other stock GPe ROMs nothing works

Thanks for reading and all your help I will sit nest to my comp and answer anything to try make everything as clear as possible. Thank you again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonwarrior:
So I tried ViperOne again and it was starting to install but then fails. I searched around and I found that i need to have s-off to be able to install the ROM.

Can I get s-off from the recovery or bootloader/fastboot?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Try this :

Do a full wipe in the recovery, install viper rom but do not choose to do a full wipe in the aroma installer. Once finished you flash the boot.img via fastboot and then reboot the phone.

You do not need s-off to flash custom roms. But the GPE thingy can be the problem....

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iHagbani:
Do you have an SD reader on your laptop? You can buy a big SD that you can put a small SD card inside it, then put the ROM zip file inside the SD card, after that plug it in your M8 and flash it via twrp.

Let me know if you couldn't understand any point cuz my English is not that good.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonwarrior:
I know how to push the rom trough adb to flash it thats not the problem the problem is that i cant get it to install properly. Thanks for the reply though i appreciate it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

status 7 means you don't have right recovery for that ROM

Also search about Stock GPE partition layout, is it same as normal non-GPE. I doubt it as I seen somewhere about people do full conversion to GPE, they need to reflash firmware to correct the partition for Sense ROM. This is what I understand from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonwarrior:
I have researched about the partition layout and I think you are right. How do i get the right partition layout? this is all a learning experience for me lol. I just hope i can get my phone working again.

In thats case then i might be worse off then i though my phone is s-on an there is no way for me to get it s-off in its current bricked state... to the the Ruu to install

correct me if im wrong but then what i have to do is just flash the stock rom for gpe beacuse since my phone was already stock GPe the the frieware(partition layout) will apcct it... right?

I want to thank everyone at the this point it looks like i have a lot of learning to do. Thank you

You should really read carefully before doing stuff with your phone, especially when you are unexperienced.

If you are unsure about anything, ask before you try messing with something and hope that it will work.

You didnt, and now you have the mess.

But now even now you are not able to follow the instructions people are giving you.

Hi all,

I've read a lot on this forum and posted quite some questions already. I am now almost ready to start customizing my NLD tmobile vario sid/sim locked 2.21.

However before I can start flashing I first NEED to downgrade (i think). I saw a lot of posts about this and some contradictions. Could someone please help me out or maybe a FAQ should be stickied for these kind of things.

I read the following, what if any is true and how to proceed people:

*) a 2.21 G3 cannot be downgraded (yet)

*) I have to flash the qtek custom rom

*) i have to flash the qtek custom rom twice (why twice?)

*) the SPL won't downgrade and that's allright

*) the SPL won't downgrade and that is a problem

*) I have to extract the custom rom and just run 1 file from it

*) flashing the downgrade rom bricks G3 vario's

*) the downgrade rom gives me ipl/spl 1.01 or in another thread it gives ipl/spl 1.05

*) A G4 rom can or cannot be flashed on a CID/SIM locked G3 vario

I hope you can clarify these issues, I have read a lot myself but not all advice on all threads are the same.

thanks a lot in advance,

stefan.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rooktn:
Hi there,

As far as I know, if your MDA Vario comes with the following:

IPL 2.21.0001

SPL 2.21.0001

then people call it G3/G4. Again, AFAIK, it cannot be CID-unlocked. You can get nice information on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=271043. Basically, using some tools and an existing ROM, you "cook" the ROM to cut off the IPL/SPL part, so that though it's not CID-unlocked, you still can flash the ROM to a (usually) newer ROM.

OK, hope the above info helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] stefan1975:
hi,

thanks for your reply, however it is only a G4 rom when your vario is like 2.21.0001, I know already that this cannot be downgraded. I have a G3 vario (2.21 without .0001) so according to the posts it should be able to be downgraded and then CID unlocked. I have just seen a lot of different opinions about the G3 downgrade process (craptree, faria, mr puttingham, etc. all have different suggestions).

stefan
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Not I and Faria... I use his procedure constantly. Actually when I'm testing a ROM with a different IPL or SPL I downgrade to the 1.05, re-unlock CID and SIM (just for fun as it takes no time) and then downgrade one MORE time to get the SPL down. Just did 3 Cingular G3's yesterday and will do 2 today....

Occasionally the video will become choppy (dropping frames likely?), but the really strange part is that the playtime sticks at 0:00, and the jump 30 second button does not work. Pressing that button skips to the 30 second mark repeatedly, since the current play time sticks to 0:00.
