[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You do.. Sorry might have misread.. If you are not rooted than you can not change this.. Only way to turn sync off would be to go into stock recovery and do a factory reset.. When you load back up make sure that you UNCLICK "sync" Contacts..

SOrry i reread your post

What does this mean????

If she is on 4.3 than she is able to root her phone.. You saying safestrap and the latest software throws me for a loop.. The latest software is ND7 4.4.2 and there is no way to root this.. therefore no safestrap either..

Just making sure you know that root and a unlocked bootloader is to different things.. Safestrap requires root but not a unlocked bootloader..

[HTC One X] Unforgiven1909:
Hello guys, and thanks for reading this.

Today, I got my HOX from a brothers' firend who's been using it for a year and a half. The device is in almost perfect shape, and he's been using it since last week or so. He reseted it to factory settings and left it in a drawer where it "died". Let's start with a timeline of all the **** I've been through with this mobile just today:

1. I got it with battery level fully depleted, wouldn't even turn on. Put it on it's original charger in the wall socket, left it there for like 10 minutes. Turned it on - it turned off after 3 minutes of "work" while still plugged in the wall socket. (Wasn't getting nearly enough juice?) We then tried charging it again, but all we got was blinking red LED or no LED indication at all.

2. Left it plugged in the wall socket for like 1.5h, after which the red LED stayed on - not blinking. Tried to turn it on, it worked, the battery was at like 50%. Removed it from charging (stupid probably, I know). It's a new phone so I went to proceed downloading my apps and logging into all of my social accounts. No problems. Even listened to music for about half an hour to test out the speaker.

3. When the battery got down to like 15% I again plugged it into a wall socket. Everything seemed fine, the red LED was on and the battery indicator on the screen was "moving" from right to left, meaning it's charging. But it was not - soon the battery was at 5%. I left the phone alone charging and after 30 minutes it was even more depleted, on 2%. Turned it off, left it to charge for 1h. Came back, turned it on - still at 2%.

4. Thought about doing another reset to manufacturers' settings while I still could. Did it (with the phone charging on USB) and when it turned back on the battery was at 10%? WTF?

5. I thought the best thing to do was to deplete the battery completely which I did and left it on AC charging for a couple of hours. When I came back, the red light was blinking. I turned it on, and the battery was at miserable 2% again, just enough to turn it on.

Any suggestions or possible solutions?

Thank you for reading my BS, appreciate it. :good:
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
I had this problem and it was the charger so use another one.
[HTC One X] Unforgiven1909:
The thing I forgot to mention was that we tested the charger on my borthers' S3 mini and it worked ok.

Anyway, thanks, will try that tomorrow when I get my hands on another charger, but it seems unlikely, seeing how it's not charging properly even via USB and how it charged the S3 mini ok.
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
That happened to me too. Tested my htc charger on a xperia s and works fine but plugged into my phone doesn't work. So i just use a sony charger and it works fine.
[HTC One X] Unforgiven1909:
Another development in the story - it's not the charger.

I left it on charger (new charger) overnight, in the morining - 6%. Rebooted it - 90%. WTF

I'm on Android Revolution 30.1 and before it was happening on stock 4.2.2. - any ideas?

Also, should I be worried about CPU-Z showing that the CPU is constantly going from 5% to 70% load when absolutely nothing else is turned on on the phone? (exept sense, no apps from my end I mean)
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
Check for wakelocks and recalibrate your battery
[T-Mobile LG G3] gotag3:
Is it possible to get back the AOSP-style separate quick settings panel (two finger swipe down for settings, nothing but notifications in the notification panel)?
[T-Mobile LG G3] gotag3:
bump, anyone?

so far i've tried gravitybox and g3 tweaks box with no luck
[T-Mobile LG G3] sankyou:
Seems the answer is not yet. Will be nice once development starts happening for this phone. Tweakbox handles most of it but the quick settings are annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G3] partylikeaninjastar:
Probably never (and good riddance). Once L drops, it's all on one panel.

[LG Optimus L90] androidguy1991:
Hello everyone,

I wanted to share how I was able to disable the provisioning check for the default Mobile HotSpot app.

You need:

root and a build.prop editor

Inside your build.prop find:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

(this is near the bottom)

Set this to false

Save then reboot and mobile hotspot should work.

I'm on the 1GB plan without a hotspot plan and it works fine for me.

Please report if this works for your device or not.
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
**stupid question warning**

What does this exactly do? cx

Like, does it make you have unlimited hotspot? 4g data after the 1gb throttle?
[LG Optimus L90] barcodelinux:
Confirmed! It works on the T-Mobile D415. Thanks for the tip.
[LG Optimus L90] yellowonion:
Didn't work with a prepaid on a pay per day.
[LG Optimus L90] Failbringer60:
Thanks it worked like a charm
[LG Optimus L90] bocondo:
I gotta try it, but as I understand with T-Mobile family plan hot spot is included for your data allowance. This will definitely make turning on hot spot much faster.
[LG Optimus L90] fbweip:
Lg l90 d415

Hi,

I tried your method but after reboot, it reverts back to "true".

Am I doing something wrong or this method does not work anymore?
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
I have an LG Optimus D415. I get 2.5 GB of high speed data, then it slows down to unlimited 2G. Will this workaround trick T-mobile? If I use this workaround will I be able to get more high speed data?
[LG Optimus L90] EpicSaga:
I changed the setting to "false", but I see no difference with the hotspot. I still got the notification "Please wait while we verify your account". What does changing the setting to false do?
[LG Optimus L90] Sadcamp:
I just use FoxFi. (Full).

Works perfectly fine for me. I connect with my phone or laptop to my wifi hotspot and it works just as any other coffee shop wifi network.

Quote from General TWRP description by Dees_Troy:

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Recovery image for Tab 4 7.0 uses Linux kernel 3.10.0

For some reason odin 3.09 fails to flash the device. If it's the same case for you, you can give it a try with heimdall it works fine.

Extract the tar file then,

Here is also another method by nointer. I haven't verified it though.

I was able to flash this and it booted into recovery just fine. I didn't try to flash anything or backup device yet. It looks like the external sd isn't working. It showed 500mb free for both internal and external. I had 2gb free on the card though, now we just need some cool ROMs
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] 404-Not Found:
Woah.... Hold on there. Are we talking about the TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (SM-T230NU). I thought it wasn't possible since it uses Marvell Hardware.

Can I use this TWRP for SM-T231 model?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] nowinter:
Yyyiiii-haaaa!!!:laugh:

flashed with adb, looks perfect!!! SM-T230 Wi-Fi

jic there's someone in need of exact instructions, here's how I did it (needs root)

extract the tar, put recovery.img on device's sdcard

adb shell

su

ls /dev/block/platform/soc.2/by-name/RECOVERY -l

<produces "lrwxrwxrwx root root 2014-07-28 13:34 RECOVERY -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9>

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/original.recovery.img

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

exit

exit

adb reboot recovery

c'est tout!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] tgalal:
Most probably yes, no guarantees though as I don't have that device to test it out.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ShinySide:
You HAVE to add an md5 to flash thru odin on this device. If its not in tar.md5 itll get stuck and eventually fail. I figured that out flashing my kernel

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] 404-Not Found:
Does that mean Custom ROMs????!!!! Damn, I want to build already.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] likearaptor:
I think so :) We don't have Knox to worry about yet...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] 404-Not Found:
What do you mean about "yet"?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] likearaptor:
I have the S4 and it didn't have Knox until the latest 4.4 Android update and since then it hasn't stopped development, but it might have slowed it down. I don't care if my phone shows the Knox has been tripped for the kernel, recovery, or rom. So if they do implement it on the Tab 4, which I doubt they will (its more of a cheap device for normal people, not businesses), the worst Samsung has done is just scare us with telling us the warranty is void. I wouldn't worry. I doubt it really is coming. I haven't heard it from anyone, so don't take me word for or against it

by "yet" he means "already" :p

Target ram disk: /home/ubuntu1404/cyanogenmod/out/target/product/degaswifi/ramdisk.img

make: *** No rule to make target `/home/ubuntu1404/cyanogenmod/out/target/product/degaswifi/kernel', needed by `/home/ubuntu1404/cyanogenmod/out/target/product/degaswifi/recovery/root.ts'. Stop.

at out folder there's a ramdisk.img with tiny size 367kb only and there is no recovery.img

and i unpack and repack boot.im and get a boot-new.img where i must place this boot-new.img?

thank you
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] tgalal:
Have you placed the kernel source at kernel/samsung/degaswifi? If you don't want to compile the kernel you can use a prebuilt one (u can extract it from my recovery.img), but then you need to set TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL in BoardConfig.mk instead of TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] nl3142:
They also break Allshare Cast. To be specific, it will immediately disconnect after you connect rather than stay connected like it should. Apparently it checks that the flash counter is set to 0 and if not then it will refuse to stay connected. Sadly nobody has come up with a patched version yet so the only solution is to wait for Triangle Away to support the Tab 4.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Vintage144:
got root and now got twrp , sweet!!!

can someone put up a step by step guide sorry i am a noob. i am rooted now i want to have a custom recovery. and then after that will we be able to have custom roms?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ShinySide:
Factory reset does not work. Says unable to mount /cache and reboots recovery

No wipe options work at all. Fails on /cache every time

and unable to select cache at all under mount. Click it and does nothing

Wiping system ends with unable to mount system and reboots recovery.

Ends up wiping system but guess what....Wont flash anything. Just reboots recovery. And since System doesnt mount cant restore back ups.

Obviously none of this was tested before it was posted, so makes it completely useless. I highly suggest you take the links down til its actually functional.

Evidently just really buggy. Took 7 reboots, multiple failures to restore, multiples failures to mount partitions,still reboots on cache and says unable to mount cache tho, And now stuck on restoring @ 1% for almost 15 minutes.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] 404-Not Found:
OP is a junior memeber. Hopefully it wasn't him who built it, however this is still in a Pre-Beta phase, so it is expected to be buggy and almost non-functional. I wasn't quite sure to try this yet, but thanks to you I now know it's unsafe, thank you. Hope you have a spare Tab, or can still get it to work.

Can you still boot Stock Recovery? You might be able to do a Hard Reset, but you probably already know that and that it might be done via ADB
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ShinySide:
Just cause he's a junior member don't mean anything. I was a junior member here and building carbon for s4s :p

Just buggy. Finally got back to booting after many many failed attempts at restoring.

Unofficial TWRP 2.7.1.1 for galaxy tab 4 7.0 SM-T231(3G)

Unofficial TWRP 2.7.1.1 for galaxy tab 4 7.0 SM-T231(3G)

Testing version too :)

I build this TWRP using sample source from Team Win Recovery Project

and useful degas-unpackbootimg for samsung PXA1088.

what is working :

backup

restore

wipe dalvik cache

fix permissions

gain root from stock

backup to external sdcard

built-in filemanager

vibration

what is not working :

can not wipe cache partition & little bit tricky to restore system partition.

and maybe many more, i didn't test all function

In case failed to restore System backup, "E:Unable to mount /system "

Restart/reboot twrp recovery, just restore SYSTEM (single partition),

MAKE sure to Tap System checkbox in twrp mount menu + md5 not check, before restore it again.

then restore other partition one by one.

How to flash :

extract attachment recovery twrp 2.7.1.1 SM-T231 zip first.

Flash through Odin 3.09 > (recovery.img.tar.md5)

Since this is testing and Unofficial, flash at your own risk

Before i build my own twrp, i have tested twrp 2.7.1.0 for SM-T230 to my SM-T231

and it works with some limitation. So i decided to make my own twrp.

I dont know if my twrp 2.7.1.1 will work with SM-T230 too. In my twrp install zip file working fine.

Although i always successful restore all my backup everytime.

(especially just for system restore,it must be hard reboot with key combinationHOME+VOL_UP+POWER to enter to twrp)

of course its not good enough. any idea?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] diogomitsuda:
Thank you very much! Our now given right!

For those who want to know how I did:

Recovery.tar installed via Odin 3.09.

Then I went in recovery (Menu + Power + Volume UP) and installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip.

Reason: I wanted to install the Language Enabler (Portuguese). Because the Samsung Tab 7.1 4 did not come that language.

Thanks a lot!

help?

I know this is probably the wrong thread to post this in but are there any roms currently available for the tab 4? I'm not a n00b but I have been out of the game for a few years now and it's all Greek to me again. I can't even find a definitive way of rooting so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Chevan94:
Because there's no fully working custom recovery, there are no ROMs available.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] nl3142:
It probably won't work as this TWRP version is intended for the 7 inch ones as they are Marvell based and the 8/10 inch ones aren't.

I just assumed it was identical hardware but with bigger screens.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Tavocampana:
It's not the same hardware, thats the point.

7" Marvell

8" Qualcomm

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Vintage144:
Ok just installed again what is it exactly that your looking for? I can't do a back up right now as I don't have an sd available yet , no return factory settings, I dobt need that
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] agriff:
I think I made some progress on this. This is how I got rooted with a custom recovery that will flash zips....

To be clear, this is on the Galaxy Tab 4, wifi only, US Model Samsung Tab 4 7' 8g SM-T230NU (Purchased at Costco) SM-T230NZWSXAR

If a helpful developer can assist me with creating the proper "updater-script" for the ROM, I should have a stock rooted	T230NUUEU0ANH1 ROM, with the stock kernel from the Canadian version, ready to flash through TWRP very quickly.

The process:

Odin back to the first available firmware for the model	T230NUUEU0AND9

Root the Tablet with Kingo Root (instead of vroot) http://www.kingoapp.com/

I believe this root version is still based on the original Chinese version of vroot. However, at least the creator of Kingo has come on xda and tried to explain why his root works the way it does. Most importantly, he has removed any traces of the Chinese Superuser and replaced it with tried and true SuperSU. A quick comparison of new files after rooting shows nothing suspicious left over after the rooting process.

Odin Flash TWRP 2.8.0.1 for t230 (The version on their site that is supposed to be for the T-Mobile version of the t230). I used Odin version 3.07

For me, recovery sticks after reboot. I believe the latest H1 4.4.2 ROM for the Tablet is set up to reflash stock recovery after reboot, whereas D9 is not.

That's it. Try flashing SuperSU from new recovery and you should see that all is working. USB adb is still not working, as stated by TWRP, but that does not preclude us from flashing on the device.

Again, if anyone can help me with the updater-script, I would really appreciate it. I have been working on one but don't trust myself enough to flash for fear of bricking. I would rather have one that a more experienced developer has confidence in.

Thanks. Let me know if you guys find success with this method.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JCDinPGH:
After trying several other methods posted in these forums for the SM-T230NU, kingoapp was the only one that worked on my stock rom dated Thursday May 8th. I'm going to install "D9" rom and follow this whole procedcure but so far so good!

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Just followed this and it worked like a charm. I now have root and twrp recovery.
