Download the NB4 firmware from Shiny's thread linked above and move it to your desktop. Put your phone into download mode. Open ODIN (I prefer to use either v1.85 or v3.07, but you can use the latest 3.09). Connect your phone to your computer and wait for it to appear in the COM: window. Click on the PDA button and load up the firmware you downloaded from Shiny's thread. UNcheck everything that is already checked. Make sure nothing is checked. Click Start and wait for everything to finish. After you get the Success/PASS message, unplug your phone and hold down the power button for about 5-10 seconds until the screen turns off then release the power button. Let it reboot on its own and your phone should boot up with no problems.

thanks for you response...

I tried with the NB4 from sammobile and i have the same result.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
That's odd. What ROM were you running before you attempted to install the NB4 ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
By the sounds of it I don't think he can reboot into recovery at all. It sounds like it's just stuck at the logo screen with the recovery booting message and won't go past that. I was going to suggest he flash a custom recovery or do a factory reset but didn't think that would work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Oops.. But I think that may actually work if nothing else will

Edit: I meant that flashing a custom recovery may help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
Yeah no doubt it'll work, but if he can't boot past that screen then something else is wrong. Never heard of this problem before. Just have to wait for the OP to reply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] _PaPaUpA_:
I installed the phill recovery, remove the battery and awaken the next day to try enter in the recovery mode and it worked..... from there I install cyanogen and everything works perfect

Sorry for my english:victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thompsd:
I just got caught in a nasty bootloop so was reading your post, nothing I did would get me into recovery. Then it caught my eye that you had let the phone sit overnight and I bet you had that plugged in and charging, my battery was in the 30% range so swapped it out with a fresh one and it went right into recovery and I was able to flash what I needed to. Just an fyi.
[LG G Watch] matejilic:
Hello! Lately I have been seeing reports of corrosion on the charging pins on the bottom of the G watch. I have received mine today and am worried that it can happen to me. The question I am posing is why do you think this is happening? Do you think it is a manufacturing error that affects all units or is it a human factor (allergy to the metal - I have seen theories of this). Thanks!

[Themer General Discussion] silrosriv:
Is there any way to use more than 1 theme? There's a couple of other launchers that will give you the choice of applying a new theme or merging it with the current one.

If not, is there a way to do it in the zip?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

Unfortunately not yet. You are able to keep the widgets, however we will only look at merging screens in the future. You can easily apply a new theme though by long pressing on the homescreen and selecting Browse Themes :)

[Zooper Widget General] MatroxD:
I'm fairly new to zooper and am using nova prime. I use folders to make things tidy, while at the same time having access to all of my frequently used apps. I am wondering if it is possible, and if so, how would I create a widget (I want to create a text widget with transparency) that links or is the cover to a folder. Is this possible?

Thanks much and great app..
[Zooper Widget General] AmbitiousDonut:
I'm also using Nova and still haven't been able to figure this out. In the mean time, I use simi widget but I would like to have Zooper support folders on its own. I can create them in the app drawer, but Zooper doesn't recognize them. Did you ever find a solution to this, or are you just using a third party app?
[Zooper Widget General] thinker5555:
I was never able to get this to work with Nova. I also tried many of the other popular launchers including Apex, ADW, and Smart Launcher, but none of them worked either. What is required is a launcher that allows creation of a shortcut to a folder or group or something. To date, I've only found two launchers that do this: Themer and Lightning Launcher. Both are good, but for me, I really like the amount of configurability of Lightning Launcher. If you put in the time to work with it and combine it with Zooper, many of the "effects" that Themer tries to simulate, such as slide out drawers which have to be done with multiple screens a lot of widget duplication, can actually be made truly functional in Lightning Launcher.

[Nokia X] Jack Phoenix:
I've finally managed to root my Nokia X, which is a prerequisite for installing the Xposed Framework and some modules for it (which is something I've been wanting to do for a while). After trying out various tools, starting with the more open-source ones (like Kernelchopper), I ended up using Framaroot. Why? Because Framaroot doesn't require a computer and is extremely simple to use (and it works ;)); personally I don't mind if a rooting method requires the usage of a PC, but ideally all you'd need to do would be to download and execute an .apk.

Now, Framaroot is hardly the ideal solution, because it's not (free and) open source and not even source-available (reference). What's more, the superuser app that Framaroot installs -- SuperSU -- is not free and open source software either. There are open-source alternatives, such as Koush's Superuser.

I'm sure some of you are thinking, "but Framaroot's/SuperSU's developer is a great and trustworthy person!"; while I don't have a good reason to doubt that, I still have a reason to be wary of what code I execute on my mobile device; it's not like you go clicking around every single .exe on a Windows computer either. When the source code is free and open, people are able to see what it does, compile it and submit improvements to it.

I therefore propose that we create an easy-to-use, one-click rooting app for devices like the Nokia X family (Qualcomm chipset, Android 4.1.2 or otherwise vulnerable to CVE-2013-2595). How? From what I've gathered, the "Framaroot Gandalf exploit" source is on GitHub (also see this Tweet by Pau Oliva), so it shouldn't be too hard for an expert Android developer -- which I'm sure we have plenty of in this forum ;) -- write a graphical front-end for it and have it drop Koush's Superuser onto the device after a successful exploit (instead of SuperSU or $your_favorite_proprietary_superuser_app).

Thoughts?
[Nokia X] mdfzhi:
towelroot is opensourced

https://github.com/f0go/Towelroot-by-Geohot
[Nokia X] Dom3616:
TBH, it is a good idea. But there is already a Rooting procedure so creating an app would be useless. No?
[Nokia X] Jack Phoenix:
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately there are multiple issues here:

It doesn't work. I tested out a variety of different rooting methods, of which one was Towelroot. The concept is great, but it just wouldn't work on my Nokia X, running the original firmware. lifehacker.com/towelroot-roots-android-kitkat-devices-in-one-tap-no-p-1592226618 notes that "[Towelroot] works on phones running Android KitKat", and the Nokia X isn't running KitKat.

Towelroot is actually not FOSS. Someone took the original tr.apk file from towelroot.com, ran it through apktool (code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) and posted the result on GitHub. It was not released there by its author, which makes it effectively a blatant copyright violation, tool. Furthermore the resulting thing won't compile either. Several sources (such as tinyhack.com/2014/07/07/exploiting-the-futex-bug-and-uncovering-towelroot/ and clevcode.org/cve-2014-3153-exploit/) note that "TowelRoot is closed source and heavily obfuscated" and that there are (or rather, weren't) any public exploits of CVE-2014-3153 (Joel Eriksson rectified that, though).

Of course it'd be great to see tools like Framaroot and Towelroot go open source, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Why the developers cling to the source so hard when they're distributing their work entirely for free is beyond me; I'm no big fan of freeware personally.

All that being said, I'm not proposing we reinvent the wheel, but rather invent the wheel and release the invention under a suitable license for everyone to study, amaze and contribute to. That's something you can't do with tools like Framaroot and Towelroot. ;)

(Sorry about the lack of clickable links, btw; I blame that on XDA. Sorta ironical that the initial post can contain links, but subsequent replies cannot. Makes total sense...not.)
[Nokia X] Jack Phoenix:
If by "procedure" you refer to the fact that you can flash a recovery firmware or whatnot, then no, I don't think creating an app would be useless at all. Flashing requires a computer (unless I'm horribly mistaken here) and it can seem intimidating for, well, someone who hasn't done it before (like me!). I'm still somewhat of a smartphone newbie, and definitely an Android newbie, although I have plenty of programming experience and IT experience in general.

Framaroot was really simple to use and you really can't go wrong with it, but as I wrote in the original post, the sad truth is that it's still proprietary and that's at least a major ideological concern for some (like me), but also a practical concern. When the source code is available, you can look at it and see what it does, or if you lack the skills, you can ask an experienced (Android) dev to check it for you. When the app is closed-source, all you have is the dev's word on it, and occasionally that of the app's users. It's something, but it's not ideal -- for anyone, I believe.

Google Play Store and other app stores are full of Flappy Bird clones and whatnot, and despite Play Store not accepting apps meant to root the device, I firmly believe that this utility should be built, for it serves a practical purpose and essentially hasn't been done before: there are rooting utilities that are easy-to-use, there are FOSS implementations (well, at least the one I linked in my original post) of the CVE-2013-2595 exploit, but there isn't a FOSS version of the CVE-2013-2595 exploit that would have a GUI and be easy to use.

It's all about choices, and I wish there are options available to the users, and not just "which proprietary rooting app you want to use?".
[Nokia X] mdfzhi:
well if u really must use opensource tool to root the nokia x family, that too can already happen.

first just flash custom recovery, eg cwm or twrp. both are foss. both can be flash using fastboot, not closed source tool needed.

then just boot into the custom recovery and flash either chainsdd superuser flashable zip or koush superuser flashable zip, both are foss too.
[Nokia X] Jack Phoenix:
This is indeed true, but flashing can be intimidating for newbies and as mentioned in my original post (and also in the thread title), an .apk is so much better. My main motivation for gaining root access was so that I could install Xposed Framework and the resOverloader module for it, which enables to make the device support a language not supported by default, as the X's language selection is not like that of your average Android device's.

Should you sacrifice functionality if you want to be free and stay free? While the answer way too often is "yes", it obviously shouldn't be that way, given the obvious advantages of free and open source software. Admittedly this proposal's scope is somewhat narrow in that the initial target would be devices equipped with Qualcomm chipsets and running Android 4.1.2 (or older), and I probably should have posted this in a more generic Android app development section of the forum instead of the Nokia X subforum. However, it certainly wouldn't hurt anyone if this app would be built, as community members could then contribute to it and add support for other devices, SoCs and versions of Android...which, in the long run, would have the potential to become something like a free and open source clone of Framaroot.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no_trace:
What happened: Rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot. Ran for a week just fine though I ****ed up the boot animation trying to change it, in case it matters. After a week, I open my phone that had been on and none of the apps worked or gave much response and then they disappeared and reappeared. Rebooted phone and it kept stopping at my blank boot animation, a blank illuminated screen after the HTC splash screen.

In TWRP, I am unable to format, wipe or do anything that I can think of to /data. Every time: "Unable to mount E:/data" Not totally sure what that means but it sounds quite important. Definitely not sure why. A possible hard drive failure? Any tips or advice?

Related, if my phone is dead: I am having difficulty switching phones through Verizon to my old flip phone. It seems they are waiting for the SIM card on my m7 to turn off, however that doesn't seem like it's happening with my dead phone. They said it would take up to 24 hours, it's been three days. I guess I'll need to take it in to the Verizon store, who might not give any help once they see I voided the warranty. Is there any way to "turn off the SIM card" and get my flip phone to work, even if the m7 is dead?

Thanks in advance

This is actually about my Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE but there are no threads for it and it's the same thing for both phones.

Anyways

I found out about usb jigs today. My Galaxy Victory has been hard bricked for a few days and I saw usb jigs can force your phone into download mode. But what I don't understand is what you're supposed to do to connect your phone to it. I don't see a micro usb port on any that I see. I only see a big usb part that'd fit a computer. Are you supposed to connect it to a usb cable or do something? I'm so confused. I've only looked on Amazon so far because with Perk TV I can get free Amazon money. I can get Paypal but it costs more points. So how are you supposed to get it to work?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] audit13:
You remove the battery from your phone, you insert the jig, insert the battery, the phone should immediately enter download mode, you remove the jig, connect the phone to your computer via USB cable, flash the phone with updated firmware, recovery, etc. via Odin.

NOW. if you watch the video and are quick you can see what I want fixed. notice how it goes blurry when the motor ignites?

this is the G forces of liftoff PHYSICALLY pulling on the AF lens system harder than the little AF lens motor can account for. as the thrust lets off you can see the AF motor regain control and focus the camera.

What I need is to know if someone can physically "hack" my camera module to LOCK the camera to fixed focus (infinity) glue it in place physically so it CAN NOT move and maybe disconnect the power trace to the AF motor so the system does not attempt to focus (since I think this causes a fault under higher g loads. on a G74 the camera app I was using kept going but the camera "faulted" or something because I only got a 1.3mb corrupted file.

since the phone did not turn off and the app was still running I simply assume this was a fault in the camera. maybe too many volts to the AF motor caused a fault as it tried to compensate for the G load ??

I used a softer burning motor (80 newtons max 50 newtons sustained) and it stayed running.

suggestions?
