Yes.. But i read in german forums, that most people with Knox 0x1 still got repaired their phone.. In most cases they also resetted Knox to 0x0.. And the customer where I bought my phone hasn't checked the phone. he immediantly sent me a new one.. :D

So now I'm going to check with BBS and deinstall useless apps. etc

Hello. I have just deleted my photos and videos from Note 3. I just let delete the whole DCIM directory (thinking it's just one photo that I saw)...

My phone is unrooted. Is there any option to undelete these photos? 6 mounts of living of my 2years son is there.. If there is a way to do it without rooting that's perfect, if not I have to learn how to do it..

It's for S3. Should it work with Note3?

Maybe there is any easier way?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
It should work.

If it somehow successfully allows you to view your phone in disk mode instead of MTP, then you can recover.

I use Piriform's Recuva as well but for other uses.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frytek:
Recovering when I can see my internal memory as a mass memory in PC is a pice of cake ;) With jpg every program should be fine. The question is how to do the first thing.

Guessing? Or you know or anybody knows?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
MTP =/= Disk mode. You will have to mount your internal storage AS IF you were plugging the chip directly into the computer. Basically a way in which it allows you to format the drive, is the true disk mode. This is entirely different from just plugging in your phone to the computer as this is MTP mode.

If you can get to this stage, then you should be able to. That is what the S3 guide is all about. This is theoretical and an educated guess, if the only thread is the S3 guide then your best bet is from those experiences.

EDIT: Since you have SG Usb Enabler, then try Piriform's Recuva on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frytek:
I know this. I know all of this, I just dont know how to force to have internal storage as a mass storage visible.. I will try later with this solution for S3..

SG Usb Enabler helps only with extrenal SD card.

No, as soon as you decompile a kernel and recompile it (Even if you make no changes) you cannot flash it on a locked bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Hi, I was wondering after wiping a device if there was a way to default certain settings on the device.

Basically the situation I have is this, we are issuing out loaner android devices (we use AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Vivo) to our users when they travel and because it touches so many hands we do a factory wipe after every return. I want some settings to retain on the device itself so after the wipe there is less work on it to set it up for a new user. The settings I want to stay are the following:

Roaming=ON

WIFI=ON and auto login to our WIFI that I have put in creds for with each device having a different WIFI account

Password=set to *****

Remove the initial setup that comes up after the wipe (I just keep pressing not now or next and leave the defaults)

Have only WIFI, sound, screen rotation, mobile data, sync ON

There might be a few other tweaks that I can't think of now but basically anything personal/apps that the user may have installed I want gone.

If there is an app that can successfully do all the wiping of personal information (such ass application installation, photo deletion, log deletion, contact deletion, etc etc) that would be great but from what I found in comments on the ones I was able to find that they don't wipe everything.

If the only option is to create a custom ROM then that would have to be something I would have to bring up to my manager but if it isn't too difficult to do and hopefully I would just have to do it per carrier rather then per device that would be great.

Thanks for the assist!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
I don't know any app that does that. Maybe someone else can give you some direction.

What comes to my mind is to create a nandroid backup for every type of device. eg you can have 1 nandroid backup for 10 i9505 devices and save them on an external sdcard.

1. So you set up your phone to all the settings you want. (only have to do it 1 time)

2. You make a nandroid backup and save it to the external sd. (only have to do it 1 time)

Steps 2 and 3 only has to be done 1 time, because then you would have the backup already.

3. You put the sd in the phone you want to reset.

4. You do a full wipe in the recovery and you restore the nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Do you know roughly how long the restore takes?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi ,

Nandroid back up depend on data between 5 and 10 min

Restore Nandroid depends on data between 5 and 10 min
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Last question is for my setup which doesn't add anything like apps what would roughly be the size of the backup? Will an 8GB microsd work or will I need to bump it up to 16GB?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi

It depends on how many apps and data you have in , 8GB should cover , to have an idea it should be like about 3~4 GB for OS + whatever apps and data you have

Easiest way to know would be to set up one phone and try
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Perfect, thanks for the help. Since we won't be adding apps to it this should be more then enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
So my boss approved of me trying it and demoing it after a device is set to do the restore. The only problem is I can't seem to get CWM on there via Odin. I tried doing searches and doing other methods but there are so many and already spent more then half a day on this with no luck at all. Is there a clear cut way of adding only CWM and no rooting involvement? Currently all the loaner devices are on 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Sorry mate.

Root is a must in order to get a custom recovery..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Install a custom recovery, root it, take a nandroid backup after enabling all the settings and everything and when you get the phone back, simply go to recovery and flash the nandroid backup via recovery.

This will help you making the phone like you want it always, with all the settins enabled in the mint condition. The easy and safe method.

Thank me if I helped :)

Is there a spot where you can point me to that shows how? I get as far as towelroot and nothing works as in Odin or Safestrap. Also is there a way to revert it back to unrooted factory default (don't care about saving info)?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi ,

first thing is first , what model S4 you have?

Depends in you S4 model you may root your phone withot triping knox warranty bit BUT flashing anything else ( custom recovery , custom rom or custom kernel) will trip the warranty bit and there is no way back yet.

If you only root ( depends on S4 model) there is way back to factory default unrooted and no Knox bit set.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Screw it, I will bite the bullet and void the warranty. We get ridiculous discounts on these anyway.

What info is needed? Baseband, build number, carriers?

T-Mobile S4 - M919UVUFNB4

Verizon S4 - I545VRUFNC5

AT&T S4 - I337UCUFNB1

Vodafone S4 - I9505XXUGNE8

Vivo S4 (they are currently in the other office which I won't get to until next month)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
That's not true. Root and recovery are two different things.

You can be rooted without having a custom recovery.

You can also have a custom recovery without being rooted.

So no, you don't need root in order to use a custom recovery.

Use the recovery TWRP or Philz. Becaue I don't think CWM is updated anymore. Make sure to uncheck auto-reboot before flashing the recovery true Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Tried TWRP and it crashes Odin and tried Philz which does the same thing that CWM did and failed with a "Secure Magiccode Check Fail: Recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Thanks for the clarification
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
A few basics:

You have 4 different models s4. That means you need 4 different recovery's for 4 different devices.

T-Mobile S4 - M919UVUFNB4

Verizon S4 - I545VRUFNC5

AT&T S4 - I337UCUFNB1

Vodafone S4 - I9505XXUGNE8

I suggest to just start with the one from Vodafone (I9505). Let's take this recovery because it has a recovery for all your models:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 (this is the main thread).

Here you can download it.

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltexx

Boot into download mode. Select the recovery in Odin (PDA), uncheck auto-reboot and flash.

If the flashing fails then:

- Try other usb port

- Different cable

- Make sure kies is not running in the background.

Then boot into recovery and try to make backups.

If this is what you want we can start on the other devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Just my luck, downloaded that file, added it to both Odin v3.07 and v3.09 and crashes when checking MD5

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
- Run it as administrator.

- Try another pc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undead9786:
Same thing, is it because it is a zip and only 1KB?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Yeah strange. Seems like they deleted them somehow.

Then use this one:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltexx/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-jfltexx.tar

Dont extract the .tar but load it up in Odin (PDA).

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gordon1M:
My WiFi Xoom is currently using Omni 4.4.2-20140427-1908+0200-wingray-HOMEMADE and kernel 2.6.39.4-ElementalX-Xoom-2.0+. I would like to update it to a more recent version of Omni ROM. When I first installed this ROM, everything worked very well. However, in the last few weeks the Xoom has frozen every few days. Launcher 3 also fails from time to time. This may or may not have anything to do with the ROM, but I might as well bring it up to date.

In Settings/About Tablet/System updates, I am being offered Omni-4.4.4-20140708-2252+0200-wingray-HOMEMADE.zip. Do I just "Flash now" from this update page, or are there other things that I should do, e.g. do I need to update gapps. If there are other things, what order should I do these in?

Most of the update information I have seen relates to updating a non-BigPart Xoom, but mine is already set up with BigPart.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

TRY THIS

1. Download K910_SS_S_2_040_0109_131226.7z from uncle Go ogle!

2. Unzip and put the .QSB file into 'sdfuse' folder.

3. Connect phone to PC and copy the sdfuse folder (that has the .qsb) to you phone sdcard. ie /sdcard/sdfuse/

4. Once done that, hopefully you backed up all your stuff, disconnect from PC & switch phone off.

5. Keep pressed Volume down + Power buttons. Phone vibrates & shows "Lenovo" logo. Let go of buttons.

6. With volume down button, scroll down to option 4. "SD Update", Power button to select it and just follow through.

7. Reboot when finished. Voila!

I was facing heat issues when I use my N9005 (both stock and custom kernels). Especially in a weak WiFi connection. (I was even feel the heat in offline charging WTF?) Phone was heating up too much and too fast. (in 5 minutes it was like hell) I did some research. So fixed it now. It's heating again but not as past. Just little bit like all phones but not tested games or benchmarking.

1. Go to /system/priv-app, and rename ContentSearch.apk to ContentSearch.bak (or you can simply freeze the app with Titanium Backup it's as IndexService.apk) reboot.

2. Copied all of my files (in external SD card) to internal storage

3. Removed external SD card

4. Rename ContentSearch.bak to ContentSearch.apk (if you have freeze, defreeze it)

5. Reboot

I don't test my external SD card again nor a custom kernel. I will not use it anymore. If you have heat issues here this is my fix. Bye bye your external card

[HTC Excalibur] Jaw3000:
Has anyone had any problems with the little plastic USB port protector on the bottom of the Dash? I've only had my Dash for a few days, charged it twice, and haven't really used it (waiting for a screen protector), and the plastic where the protector connects to the body is already beginning to split. It seems one or two more openings of the protector and it will break right off. It's nice to protect the chrome and all on the phone, but kind of gets in the way to have to open and close it every time you want to charge the phone. However, I don't like having something new I just purchased brake off so quickly and easily. Honestly, I've only opened and closed the thing about three times, so either my Dash is a dud, or by the looks of it's design, there's no way HTC could intend it to last more than a week or two for anyone because of a pretty obvious design flaw (too thin connector to withstand the opening and closing). Has anyone else noticed this?

I think I read somewhere that the Excalibur or the S620 doesn't come with the port protector (just the Dash). Is this correct? Also, has anyone unscrewed the back of their Dash yet and know whether the protector can be replaced with a new one easily if it cracks off? Anyway, nice idea, poor design! I love the phone though!
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Love the Dash -- hate it's connectivity ports. For headphones, you have to pull that protector loose to plug in the giant adaptor that lets you use regular headphones. While it's in there, the microphone is cut so you can't make or receive calls, or charge the phone while using headsets. They should've designed it so no protector was needed, or at the very least, incorporated a standard headphone jack which didn't require pulling back the protector. Right after I got the phone, I realized that protector was most likely something temporary, can't see it lasting long...
