[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantom_Zero:
I used towelroot and installed SU, titanium back up and froze the ota and security updates. the first few times my phone said it was custom. I took out my sd card and formatted it so i could install movies. I did not have and sd card in when i rooted. so i wiped my sd car and put some movies on it then restarted my phone it now no longer says custom and when i check the status it says official. but root check still shows root and my phone still acts like it is rooted in all my other apps. any one have any thoughts?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Did you freeze or block SysSCOPE? You can make the system status read whatever you want if you push a few files around. Mine reads official and it most certainly is not. Perhaps you took an update anyway or ... well it could be a lot of things. If your have a tidy root, but stock kernel and recovery, it's really not all that anomalous.

A minor mystery.perhaps but I wouldn't worry about it, if your system is stable. If you have problems or lingering doubts, then restore a known good backup. You do make backups, right? Or in the alternative, start over.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantom_Zero:
i have honestly just started playing with Root. i am good with computers to a point but my knowledge of phones is lacking i have always been nervous of bricking my phone so i have never tried till now. as for backups i have not done one yet. I see people talk alot about them but have not started yet. what kind of back up are you talking about i thought we could not flash the s5 as it would trip knox ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
100% of people experience data loss. Sooner or later. So not doing backups is just inviting eventual grief. To do a proper, 100% backup would require a custom recovery e.g. TWRP and would increment Knox.

Most people here do not obsess about the Knox status, it doesn't even affect warranty for many (that is carrier dependent). Regardless if you are not willing to increment Knox, then you forgo a lot of features such as 100% backups and custom kernels.

Titanium will do partial backups, so you should do that at least.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] eeeark1:
I just bought a new at&t HTC One (M8) and I'd like to have a fresh stock backup in case of return/warranty problems. I'd like to make this myself so I can ensure that I'll be able to put the exact software that came with my phone back if need be. Also I'd just like to know how to do this in general. What I've found via search has been for rooted phones or different brands. Is it possible to use ADB or any other tool to do this? I guess I'm confused because I see posts for flashing back to stock. How do devs get these stock roms? If someone could point me to a good guide/tutorial it would be much appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Not without a rooted device or an unsecure kernel@full backup...there is an ruu posted for the 1.58.502.1, thats as close to being a backup without altering the phone in anyway
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
As long as you are a current account holder, AT&T does not give a crap what software is on your phone, bootloader unlocked, even a custom ROM installed in regards to warranty service based on many reports on XDA.

If you are still wondering about returning to stock, as mentioned in the above, your version (AT&T) if fortunate enough to have a 1.58 RUU. The ROM Update Utility is a useful means of installing a full stock image (ROM, radio, recovery, etc.) via connection to a PC.

But it can still be determined the bootloader is unlocked, no matter what you do to the phone to return it to stock. Your IMEI is tracked by HTCDev.com when you unlock the bootloader. But again, as long as you go through AT&T for warranty service (highly recommended for this reason) they don't care if the phone is modded.

I believe the stock ROMs you mention are system dumps done after bootloader unlock.

As the title says my LG L3 E430 wont boot up. The LG logo appears for a moment, disappears, then reappears with the words Security Error beneath it. It then shuts down

Confession time...Been a long time since I rooted my HTC and jumped straight in to the "how to" below out of boredom I guess!.....

STEPS:

1. Set your device on download mode (shutdown the phone, then press "ON + Volume Down") and connect via USB on your PC

2. Download this file: m eg a.co . n z /#!AgxRTZDA!Z0Ni-g5eg9D-X9YEwVcKCFN8hpYwvbex6YCop5MTqfo (remove spaces, i cant post a entire url for the new users restrictions, sorry)

3. Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi)

4. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

5. Set "Type" on "3GQTC" and "PoneMode" on "DIAG"

6. Select V10E_00.kdz from the folder that you downloaded

7. Click on "Launch software update" and wait a few minutes

8. After it finished, put Framaroot-1.6.0.apk on your SDcard or Internal memory

9. Autorice external apps on phone options, then use a file explorer to allocate and execute Framaroot, use Gandaf exploit

Everything seemed to go as planned until step 8. My PC no longer recognised the phone so I removed SD card and copied Framaroot to it. It was around this time I remembered about bootloader and thought DARN! I've screwed up

Anyway before I get the pleasure of smashing it with a sledge hammer (hated it from day one!) I thought I would ask if there is anyway back from this situation....

It will go into download mode but pc doesn't see it and I cant access it because, as I said, it turns on, Security Error comes up and then it shuts down.

Hi is there any way to enable double tap to wake feature on xperia z1?

i am on unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I can think of 2 kernels that had it implemented. Look in the original development section for them

However, they both reported excessive battery drain and I know [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] disabled it in his kernel because of that reason
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitsosJL:
As greg said there are kernels which enable double tap to wake but the battery drain is huge. If you don't care about battery drain and want this feature, in my opinion you should install doomkernel v20 for Z1 :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunder_47:
So I wanted to flash a ROM onto my Xperia Z because it wasn't waking from sleep all of a sudden, and after 12 hours of trying to get CWM and eventually forcing the 4.4.2 update instead of waiting for T-Mobile to release it OTA. I assumed my bootloader was unlocked, but then I found out that it wasn't because even Sony's official method wasn't working. (FAILED (Remote: Command not allowed)). I decided to google around to see if others had this issue, and came across a news site that said T-Mobile purposely restricted the bootloader, and it was unable to be unlocked.

The question is: Is there anyway around this issue? Is there any "official" way I can remedy this issue, such as buying the equipment outright from T-Mobile and requesting a SIM unlock or something?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Avishkar14:
I have a HTC HD 2 running Android 4.1.2 (Jellybean). I used this guide to set the 'micro sd' slot as the place for storing apps. After doing this, I was able to move all my existing apps to the SD card which was not possible before. I would like to mention that the internal phone memory is 25 MB on my HD 2.

Now, whenever I go to Google Play to download a new app, the downloads with sizes above 25 MB are not completing successfully.Also, there are some downloads which compete as they are under 15 MB but I get the 'insufficient storage available' error when trying to install them (e.g. TuneIn app). Thus I am unable to get new apps as the phone memory remaining is around 20 MB.

Can anyone help me out? How to select the storage card as the default place for installation a new app from the Google Play store? I have already checked via 'adb shell pm get-install-location' that my default drive is '2'.

Title says it all pretty much. Two updates ago I started getting very frequent, annoying random reboots on my son's stock, unrooted Tab 8.4 wifi. I have just rooted it and installed TWRP.

My Solution To Random Reboots

I updated my T520 from NAE to NG1 using Odin and rerooted it with CF method and I was experiencing random reboots. I did tow things:

1. I defrosted the knox notifications in TB (I had disabaled it when super user asked me to...)

2. I went to SuperSU app's settings under cleanup I tapped reinstall and followed the given commands there...

after doing these things, I have not had any reboots from 2 days ago. :D

[Motorola Droid 4] EvanCalo:
OK so i noticed over the course of about 6 days my phones screen would glitch, when i say glitch i mean crazy colors and sometimes just go dark. a reboot would sometimes fix it other times it would take a few reboots. Now the screen doesnt come on at all. I have tried everything. Removing the built in battery for some time, charging, connecting to PC, wiggling the LCD etc etc.

I have about 4 years of pictures and videos on this phone with unfortunately no backups anywhere!!!!

I have got to get them off this phone one way or another.

Is there anyway i can work around a dead screen to copy files from the phones internal memory.

I have ADB, Fastboot, CentOS, Kubuntu, Kali, Winders 7,XP, and 8 to work with here so whatever it might take im down to try anything if anyone has any good ideas. Heck ill even take bad ideas at this point!!! ANYTHING would be better than what i got now.

(i should give a few details. when the phone boots up i hear the "DROID" boot animation sound the soft keys used to light up, the keyboard backlight comes on after sliding the screen out. All with no luck!!!

Please let me know if there is anything i can try here!!

Thanks

[Motorola Droid 4] nagim:
Just 2 options quickly:

1) After the phone boots up, just plug it on a Windows PC through USB. If it recognizes the phone in mass storage mode, you should see the internal and external storage, then you're golden.

2) If that doesn't work, try to plug it on a TV or monitor through HDMI. You can use screen mirroring or webtop to reach the phone interface (if you are on stock ROM). Even if the LCD is bad, the digitizer should work so it recognizes the touch, helps you navigate.

I hope that helps.
