[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Agreed.

There IS a "temp-root" method already available for 4.4.2 (4.4.3+ patches it). It's the PIE exploit.

BUT!!! It is temp-only, does not allow write access to /system, does not disable write-protect, and the exploit must be run again (from ADB, so you must attach to a PC) each time you reboot...

So not very useful at all :/

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

You didn't have the BL unlocked if you were using SlapMyMoto - you were using a write-protect-disable exploit. BIG difference. If at any point you would have updated to 4.4.2+, you would have permanently lost root and write-protect-disable. Bootloader unlock is permanent. None of the exploits are.

Also, I KNOW someone is going to say it: Questions belong in the Q&A forum, not General. Your thread will probably be moved by a moderator..... In the future, be sure to post in the correct forums.
[Moto X Q&A] gunvalk:
You're only option that I'm aware of would be pie root ( http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/root-4-4-x-pie-motorola-devices-t2771623 ). It's a tethered root though so rebooting your phone will lose root access. Also no system write.

Hello all,

Is updating the Nvidia Shield while it is rooted safe? I used Geohot's towelroot V1

Thanks for your time!
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
I would use supersu to do a full unroot. Update then re root, but thats me. You should be able to as long as you dont have a custom recovery but root would be removed during the update so you might as well just go the supersu route.
[Shield Q&A] waucbulldog24:
I will certainly do that! I'm pretty new to rooting, so I apologize if this is a dumb question: Is there anything else I need to do before I unroot with superSU?

Thanks again for your time!
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
Nope download and install it and then use the unroot feature. Its pretty straight forward. No worries either we all have to start somewhere.
[Shield Q&A] waucbulldog24:
Will do, thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Murdock80:
Hi all

I just got my 8.4 Tab Pro and need some advice before I apply my usual tweaking. Sorry if something similar has been discussed in other threads, I was not able to find definite answers to my questions.

As with all my Android devices I'd like customize the Tab Pro to minimize load, remove bloat and basically have the most control over it as possible.

- I rooted the Tab Pro with Towel without triggering Knox. So far so good. From what I read though, installing a recovery mod and/or a custom rom, Knox will still be triggered. What if I use an 'optimized' (debloated, tweaked) stock rom, is there a way no to have Knox in the way?

- If there's no way to prevent Knox from triggering: Any advice on which processes/apps can be safely removed and which (eg build.prop) tweaks would make sense for this device?

- Is there an overview which shows available Firmwares and maybe even changelogs? I'm a bit confused by all the different available codes and their corresponding origin countries.

That's it for the moment, thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mike-y:
as soon as you flash a custom recovery, you will trip Knox. There is no way around that at the moment.

you can freeze quite a bit of the stock apps to get the device to run smoother. check your settings -- apps, and go to the running tab. Note which apps you don't use that are running in the background, and then freeze them with Titanium backup or similar program. Note some apps have multiple APK's that need to be frozen.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Murdock80:
Hah, looks like my Auto-Correct trolled me with "Knox", nice one :silly:

Corrected it..

Thanks for the reply, that cleared it up for me with the trigger.

Regarding the other topic though: I'm aware how one can identify and disable unnecessary apps, I was hoping to find (for example) some kind of a list like the one Rom Cleaner uses where stock Samsung bloatware is identified- which would make it a lot easier to work on with the ridiculous amount of stuff included in the device.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mike-y:
Not sure if there is such an app yet for the tab pro..

I made a list of apps I froze in the battery life thread, here's a link to the post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54229116&postcount=26

Keep in mind, I started off with a rom without the All-Share APK's, and without the Knox APK's (there are several of each).

since that post, I have also frozen S-finder and Security Manager Service. Started getting random reboots, so I re-installed Security Manager Service, and it seems to have fixed the reboots.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Murdock80:
Nice, thanks for that- that'll be a good start.

Any ideas regarding the different available firmwares?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mike-y:
I'm on ND3, which seems to work for me. Using Freeza's nearly stock rom for now and all seems well. haven't tried any of the CM based roms on this tablet yet though.
[LG G2 Mini] Rephosix:
So many people around here are having issues with KDZ, errors such as:

--Connections problem between PC and Phone

-Drivers problem.

-Cannot find the phone.

-Bricked too hard.

-Random chinese info stuff...​

How did i find this solution ?

Let's get to the guide shall we?

Step 1 : Download B2CAppSetup( i attached it for ya ;) )

Step 2a : Install it ! :D

Warning Step 2 : If you already have KDZ installed using [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] method DON'T INSTALL IT!, you should already have it in your KDZ folder .

Step 2b (If you already have KDZ installed using [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] method and can't find B2CAppSetup) : Just delete it and install the program from here .

Step 3 : Open the program and plug your phone into the PC/Laptop whatever.

Step 3.1a: If you can boot up your phone( i mean if it's not bricked ) just select Software LG mode and in the B2CAppSetup window there should appear something like "Your phone has been discovered, do you want to install the driver?", you would say Yes and wait until the driver is installed.

Additional Info for Step 3.1a : For B2CAppSetup to find your phone you don't need only to have the Software LG mode enabled, you will also need the driver that should automatically install by itself.

Step 3.1b:If your device is bricked and can't boot you'll have to enter the Download Mode, to do that just keep holding the Vol. Up button while inserting the USB cable in the phone( The USB cable must be already plugged into the PC while doing that), and you keep it until you go into the Download Mode.

Step 4 : Now let's get the upgrade done. So basically since our phone has no firmware updates we have to trick the program. In the upper right corner you should see two options available, you are going to click on the one that says "Additional Functions"( the one in the left) and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".​

Step 5 : Now if you've followed as i've said it should be very easy from now on.The program will connect to the device and start downloading the right Firmware Update that you had when your phone first came.

WARING !!! : DURING THE INSTALLATION THE PROGRAM MAY GIVE YOU THIS ERROR " The device has been disconnected from the PC, do you want to abort the update" , you just let it that way because it will still be installing even if that error pops-up.

Step 5.1 : When the installation reaches like 80% your phone should boot up, but don't disconnect it yet, just wait until the program crashed itself,it should crash when it's 99%, after that you can unplug it.​

Errors after installing:

1 )com.android.phone has stopped responding

2 )acore has stopped...

3 )contacts has stopped...

n )......

( and it keeps saying that without stopping and letting you do anything )

To fix it just, do a hard reset by using the stock recovery.​

Hope this method helped you in any way since the links where we could download the KDZ files are mostly down and since the KDZ works when it want and how it want.Feel free to ask question.This method was tested on the D620.​
[LG G2 Mini] Rephosix:
This is where the option should be :D .

hi

what if you can't get in download mode because you're device hasn't got usb debugging anabled ?

[LG G2 Mini] Rephosix:
Well, this is a guide on how to reflash the stock version in case KDZ is not working, i guess if the USB still recognizes the phone it may be a chance to work, just attempt to use the software and see if it works (after all this is another method beside KDZ)

[LG G2 Mini] El_Dark:
Hi guys,

Sorry to revive the old post, but I haven't been able to find me a solution after many days searching... A customer came to me with an LG G2 Mini D625 (located in Chile), for what i've been investigating the phone is stuck in APX mode, I got to install the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", and now I'm trying this method to attempt to revive the phone... however it has come to my attention that after:

1. Removing the battery

2. Keeping pressed vol+

3. Connecting the usb cable to phone & pc while doing step 2

I can't get the phone to boot in Download mode... Could it be it's a different method for D625? Is it plain dead & hard-bricked without any options left? Can something be done with some sort of box? I don't have any type of box myself, but if needed be, I can advise my customer to go with another technician who owns a box...

EDIT: I have the phone with me... just FYI
[HTC Startrek] Mastiff:
Sometimes when I call my wife I can't get through. When she opens her phone, it will ask her for the PIN code. Has anybody else seen this, and do you know what to do about it? No extra programs except for TomTom. Very little customization. Also when this happens, it will show that the batter is empty, but when the PIN code is pressed it will show the correct amount of battery time left after a little while. This happens totally randomly.

[HTC Startrek] jhall124:
I have had the same issue with mine (rebooting without notice).

I read in a Cingular forum about a faulty battery cover switch (bottom right as your looking at the battery with the cover removed).

The quick fix is to take a very small piece of paper and place in on the switch. This will make a better contact when you re-install the battery cover.

sounds strange but since I did this (about 2 weeks ago), I haven't had a single reboot.

Hey guys,

After some roms, i got my phone bricked,

After some more work got it back to stock and rooted, and now my computer wont see the USB, tried USB 2 and 3 both not working, different USB entrance's too. the computer will find Note 3 as CDC ACM or CDC NCM or Comneo Suspend, ( windows update is on, Kies installed latest version ), i did try other cables.

I added a photo with Windows driver thingy

This is a Note 3 SM-N900 ( international version )

Could you please help me with this?

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
First I would ask the obvious, is this checked?

If so, then something is missing from either the drivers you have on your PC ( I would delete and reinstall them ) here is a link http://www.devfiles.co/download/AbRa7wHc/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe Or the OS, I would use your phone and download a new copy of 4.4.2 NC5 copy and paste it to your SD CARD from downloads then flash out of your recovery. Here is the link to SamMobile which has all versions of 4.4.2 NC5 http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N900P&pcode=0 Also since this is an International version you might consider moving your post to SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3. Unless your running it on Sprint then use the SPR version of 4.4.2 NC5 from SamMobile. Here is another link for stock 4.4.2 NC5 by micmars (Thanks ) that you don't have to register to download like at SamMobile but its only the Sprint version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712205

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrikz:
Thanks for the fast reply, well i read this comment on the link you game me, im just curious and also worried that i might brick my phone, cause im a total noob when it comes to these things,

Here's some of the comments i read about D802T

"Please note you cannot install custom recovery in stock KK via any method for the D802T Australian variant and get it to boot. LG has not released kernel source code for Aussie variant, for KK, so Loki exploit does not work. If you want a custom recovery under KK you will have to install a custom ROM with already patched kernel. If you plan to stay on JB 4.2.2, however, you can indeed root and/or install TWRP without hassle on stock."

"u cant use this on the Australian version D802T.

It will soft brick your phone."

Now what should i do? im just very confused.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochewer:
there is a way to do it. Follow the guide and root kk but before you install autorec, make sure you have a custom rom zip ready to go on your phone sdcard and whilst still in TWRP (dont try to boot into kk yet), simply flash your custom rom, and then the phone will boot normally.

So I'm looking to buy some additional chargers for my OPO. But unfortunately you cannot buy the official charger seperatly. Are there any 3rd party chargers that work just as well? I have a few at home that just don't seem to charge the phone fast enough (also, I think it does not hold the charge as long with these chargers, but that could be the placebo effect.) What should I be looking for in a good charger? Is the wall piece more important that the USB cord. Does the type of USB cord even matter if the wall piece has the right "specs".

[ONE Accessories] grajasekar:
The OnePlus charger is a 2A 5V part and the included USB cable charges it relatively fast. However, the small length of the cable pissed me off.

I ended up getting 2 of these - http://www.siig.com/it-products/it-accessories/mobile-phone-accessories/3-1a-ac-dc-usb-charger.html . It has a little 1A USB charge port addon for use in the car's 12V port. The main USB port on the charger is a 2.1A port if I remember correctly. Charges as fast or faster than the OnePlus charger included.

The charger has a little removable two-prong plug (like the Apple chargers) and you can stick any random two-pin power cord on this end, basically giving you as much length as you need. That's what I liked a lot about these. Annoying thing though is the blue LED, a bit bright but nothing electrical tape won't fix.

EDIT: Use any charging-only cable, one of the Samsung 2A cables or the Oneplus One cable itself for fast chargng.
