Hello,

I tried towelroot, following these instructions:

- Go to http://towelroot.com/

- Install APK

- Run APK

- Try this: "for device not supported." You'll have to tap the towel icon 3 times to get to it.

- Tap the welcome to the towel root icon at the top and change to the 1337 0 1 0 5 0

I do this, press the 'make it rain' button again, nothing happens, it just still says 'device unsupported.' I also tried putting in the original,

1337 0 1 0 4 0, same result. Any thoughts as to what may be going wrong?

Edit: worked with 1337 0 1 0 6 0!

Thanks again.

[Moto X Q&A] mikestrong19:
I recently ported my Google Voice number out of GV and into Verizon, replacing my old Verizon number. The port process is "complete" (still not receiving texts from carriers other than Verizon, but that is another issue that is apparently solved by waiting a few days) and GV automatically removed my number (so now it only says "Get a Google Voice number." Is there a way to get my SMS history from Google Voice into my Moto X? I used Google Takeout to export my Voice data, but I have no idea how to get it into my phone. I plan on using Hangouts as my default SMS app if that makes a difference.

So i noticed while searching around to fix things on my device there was a lack of linux support in general, and almost none for the S5, so I thought I would make a support thread for any linux users. This thread will be mainly for posting how-to's for linux but can also be a place to ask any questions you have.

HOW-TO'S:

How to install adb

I'm on linux mint, and this tutorial is based off of how to threads for linux mint, but there shouldn't be much difference in commands other than filenames.

To start you'll need to download the sdk, then run these commands one at a time.

cd ~
tar -zxvf ~/[download path here]/android-sdk_r23.0.2-linux.tgz
mv android-sdk-linux android

Then we need to update the SDK.

cd ~
android/tools/android

This should bring up the android SDK manager, the ones you'll want to update/install are:

-Everything under "Android 4.4.2 (API 19)

-Under the tools dropdown, check "Android SDK tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Android SDK Build-tools" revision 20

Once all that is done you'll need to set your path to include adb.

cd ~
gedit .bashrc

In the text editor that opens paste the following then save and exit

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android/sdk/platform-tools

Then we need to make it executable

cd ~
chmod a+x .bashrc

Then you need to setup device rules

cd ~
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

There is a list of vendor IDs on the android dev website, but for this case Samsung's ID is 04e8 so just paste the following then save and exit.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

Then we need to make the rules executable

cd ~
sudo chmod a+x /etc/udev/rules.d/*

Then you should be able to use adb from terminal once you plug your phone in and just do "adb devices" and a prompt should come up on your phone, if it doesnt make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, if it is then unplug your phone and run

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Then plug your device back in and do "adb devices".

If you are having issues with the server not starting with sufficient permissions you need to add the full path to adb start-server to rc.local, this can be done with the folowing commands.

cd ~
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then you will need to paste the following above exit 0

/home/[path]/android/platform-tools/adb start-server

Make sure to replace [path] with the actual name of your home directory then save and exit and reboot your computer, you should be able to use adb properly now.

How to flash odin image files

UNTESTED ON S5

If you have no windows computer available or do but would like to flash on linux, you can try heimdall, but apparently it doesnt fully support the s5 by default and would need to have a patch made to support the new protocol, it may work I havent had a chance to test it though. Another option is jOdin, that has a more familar interface but it has a heimdall backbone afaik so you still need a patch, so for now until said patch is made by the dev or by someone in the community, or it is tested, the only option is get to a windows computer. This section will be updated once one of the two is done.

There is a gs5 pull request on the heimdall github, this could be good....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
I am still getting a handshake error, is it working for anybody else?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
I got it to output my pit file, will test flashing tomorrow and maybe do a pull request or fork if it works.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgriffi:
Users of Debian Wheezy must install libusb-1.0-0-dev from wheezy-backports before compiling Heimdall (apt-get -t wheezy-backports install libusb-1.0-0-dev). I had no luck using it to get anything useful out of my S5.

My experiences in rooting my phone are detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/rooting-sm-g900a-build-date-june-3-2014-t2891621/post55826720. I suppose that once Heimdall is modified to talk fluently with the S5, then http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900and3tong3keeprootota-zip-t2862299 should make for a good model for this guide.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
Yes heimdall will work once it can talk to the s5. However, i have ran into that same problem with the tar that was mentioned in that second link. I have noticed that some files i download from the rogerwilco sites give me that issue, the all in ones from there work fine though. Did you download that tar from the rogerwilco site? Other times it has happened to me was because of a bad download, and redownloading fixed my problem. If the tar is corrupt, even heimdall wont help.

BTW i used libusb-1.0 source from github, heimdall source from github and modified heimdall source in a few places based on the simple usb logger output i got when flashing with odin. I dont think my patches would ever be merged in because it might break compatibility with other models since i had to change the buffer size. Also, i work on opensuse 64bit 13.1, in case anybody ends up trying to follow along. I plan on trying a flash a little later today.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgriffi:
I downloaded from sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
Well flashing was a no go, and i cant get consistently working setup ATM. Maybe i will poke around some more throughout the week.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice.modding:
No way,

*with libusb

*with kernel compiled with 32 and 64 bits,

*Debian, LMDE and Ubuntu 14.04.1 (I'm using the latter).

*with jodin3 from my notebook and from the web all with negative results.

Might as well try to flash with heimdall from TTY?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
As i said, i discusssed it with miked63017, and he informed me there needs to be a modification to get heimdall to work with the s5, this was also mentioned earlier in the thread, jOdin fram what i can tell is a java front end for heimdall so same situation. As was also mentioned a fork was made of heimdall mentioning the s5, that may be worth testing, otherwise something needs to be worked on, privately or as a group.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice.modding:
Well, I'm willing to help in my humble place;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
I tested the fork with no luck. Then the thought crossed my mind to rewrite it in ruby, because I am alot better with it than I am with c++. I started, only got as far as finding the device, but it is really ambitious and will take a long time to complete. If anybody thinks they can help I will put it on githib, but be warned it is in really early stages. Let me know otherwise I will keep it to myself until its further along.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
Was anyone ever able to get heimdall working on your S5 in Linux? I have been having similar problems getting it to run in Xubuntu 14.10 with my Note 4.

I compiled Heimdall with the S5 patch, even installed the latest libusb, no luck whatsoever. I am getting the following error:

Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Failed to receive handshake response. Result: -7
ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!

I just came across this, but didn't try it out yet.

Never got it working but might try your link tomorrow if i have time
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
Alright, sounds good. I'll keep you guys updated if I have any luck over in Note 4 land.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
Tried those patches, still nothing good. I can occasionally get print-pit to work but I have to unplug and replug like 100 times, most of the time it just fails to receive handshake -7 :(.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
I tried all the patches as well and I keep getting the -7 error as well.

I am using xubuntu 14.10 at the moment, what are you using?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miked63017:
Opensuse 13.1. There is a difference in the protocol I have a log from running odin. I fear there needs to be a significant change for things to properly work in heimdall
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Well it will have to be us or Benjamin it seems, maube we should try to get in contact with him, he's seen some of the patches offered cause he responds maybe try emailing him or contacting one way or another asking at least what he thinks needs to be done for a fix.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
I have not looked into this in awhile. Does anyone know if there has been any progress made?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
I personally have not had a need to flash recently so i havent tested yet, but according to an issue on the github someone was sucessful in flashjng by patching pull request #225 and #240 https://www.github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/244
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
I used odin once to root and have been fine, I just wanted to figure it out and get it working, you know? I'll check those patches out later and let you know if I get anywhere.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
For sure, you never know whats going to happen and itd be a lot nicer to have heimdall available if something does rather than rely on having something runnjng windows nearby wich isnt always the case.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YarsRevenge78:
I boot into my windows partition so often that I forgot the password and just recently decided to delete it to free up space...so it would be nice not to have to break the work laptop.
[T-Mobile LG G3] albertzelaya:
I have noticed that im using up 2gb of ram. But i have only downloaded a few apps. No games. All the stuff i had before. My old phone was a little over 1gb total. Is this normal. Does the phone uses a lot of ram out of the box. Im thinking of rooting just so i can free up some ram. Not sure if that is possible. Im coming from a galaxy and very happy with this d851 g3.

Anyone having a memory problem ? Issues? What can i do?
[T-Mobile LG G3] shook187:
Android always runs while using up as much ram as possible. Thats normal, if your phone had 8gb of ram, most likely it would also be using most of it up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bfranklin1986:
Makes app switching faster.......
[T-Mobile LG G3] nohcho:
All that bloatware runs in the background contributing to a high ram usage
[T-Mobile LG G3] NexusWarrior:
Not completely true. I disabled most of the T-Mobile and LG crap on this phone and it's still using the same amount of RAM. It's Android's memory management.
[T-Mobile LG G3] OhioDroid80:
I bet if the Android team could go back in time in the early days of system development they would have probably removed the ability to see free ram. So many people get caught up in free ram when the phone is using the available ram to the best of its ability.
[T-Mobile LG G3] drksilenc:
Windows does alot of the same as well. Even though if you go into task manager it shows free if you actually look at your system resourses it shows alot of it is taken.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kchino:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mgbotoe:
Not sure about the whole 2g for 3gb thing but your system need all the rams it can use to keep your phone running smoothly. If you use ram cleaner (so they are call) you will notice your phone goes through a gitter before it it can pick up again. You look 5 minute later, its like you never clean anything.

and tmobile is surely 3g
[T-Mobile LG G3] budco2000:
Free RAM is wasted RAM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chrisjm00:
Android uses RAM differently from say Windows. Android will use as much ram as available and when it needs more, it will free it up as needed. This is normal.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brolic925t:
So yea i installed greenify and it made a **** load of a difference because i have like 40 games and a load of other apps. I have less than 1.5 gigs used now. And my phones way smoother and batterylife is good again
[T-Mobile LG G3] Jammol:
Don't worry you're about to see that battery life drop like a rock. Constantly killing apps will kill your battery fast. Greenify is a nice app if you have a crap phone but your G3 was made the way it is for a reason. What you think is smooth and fast is actually hurting your phone. Don't believe me, Google it and do some research. I do not recommend anyone using any format of task killer or ram optimizer on a phone that is current with the times.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Do I think the phone has issues. yes. When using it the apps don't close when ram is needed. Only fix is a reboot or kill the app but at times that does not work
[T-Mobile LG G3] CAP3r5:
Don't worry Jammol doesn't know what he is talking about. Greenify doesn't hurt battery life and performance like a task killer because isn't a task killer. It is completely different. I agree that task killers should be renamed to battery/phone performance killers but Greenify is very different.

First of all it requires your phone to be rooted. Assuming that it is, it uses special permissions from the rooted device to essentially freeze the app unless it is opened by the user. For example, I use facebook but only casually. I look at it once every other day or so but have noticed that the push notifications and messenger uses a lot of battery because it does a partial wake everytime it pushes a update which activates the internet and cpu.

The solution is to "Greenify" the app. The app still loads normally when I open it up although, because it is not in the ram, it likely takes slightly longer to load. Once it is opened, I can use it like normal and I get push notifications again until my phone's screen goes off. Once the screen goes off, facebook and all the apps that I "Greenify" are flushed from the memory and are banned/essentially frozen until I launch the respective app again. The only drawback to this is that you essentially never get push notifications for the apps but it saves a lot of battery if you pick the apps that you don't care much about/rarely use.

So greenify does work really well. Today my phone had 17% left. I it had 16+ hours of battery time total. I got 4.25 hours of SOT with sync on (with 3 email accounts getting push notifications plus other apps), GPS high accuracy, LG health automatically recording my exercise, and 1 hour of navigation with Waze. Basically I used my phone how I wanted and didn't micromanage my battery usage throughout the day at all.

I used 3 battery saving tools. 1. ART 2. Greenify and 3. Custom Kernel V002 from KAsp3rd. These three are very powerful together.

I hope that helps someone!
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
ART
[T-Mobile LG G3] Harmtan2:
Out of curiosity, how are you using art with xposed? Greenify uses the xposed framework.
[T-Mobile LG G3] CAP3r5:
I am not using xposed. Greenify works just fine for me without xposed. If you want some of the more advanced and experimental features, you need xposed but the basic functionality does not require it..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Harmtan2:
Aww that man's sense. I want to ruin art, I just don't want to give up my xposed features lol.
[T-Mobile LG G3] CAP3r5:
I know what you mean! This is just the latest skirmish in the never ending war between features and battery/performance. I can't wait for Android L to come out because this particular battle will end (xposed will support android L which uses ART exclusively) but the war will rage on..

hi

I see your from oz.

where did you get your dopod 838pro from?

3 are out of stock and the place I got mine was from press digital.

they seem to have grey imported it from singapore and its got a v1.23 ROM with a 1.06 radio.

I had the same issue and thats how I found out it was a grey import (as well as the singapore warranty card).

The serial number would not register with the aus dopod site but did with the singapore site.

the serial numbers are common to specific countries. see where the handset came from and you should be able to register with that specific country.

Hi Nighthawk

I have a JASJAM (bought outright from Computer Cworld) and I would like to use it with 3 Australia. Funny this was, that the ROM had Telstra branding, so I flashed it with the generic WWE JasJam Rom.

Now, its been a pain to get the 3 services working such as 3MMS and 3netaccess etc and so on. 3 australia are no use to help me set it up.

Is there a cab file(s) in your extended rom that has three or 3 in its name. I am hoping that there is a cab that can set up my JASJAM with all the 3 settings.

Looking forward to your reply.
