[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maho92:
Dear friends i have one very important question .. however my SGS4's display died and i had installed a CM11 on it i need to revert back to stock firmware because of my warranty. I've found many manuals how to do this but i still don't know one thing.. Do I need to reset my binary counter after or before flashing the stock rom ?? or it will be reset by flashing the stock firmware? It will be a little difficult for me because my screen is black and the only way how to do things on the phone is by connecting MHL adapter...

And just to explain what happened to my screen... the pixels has slowly started to changing colors to blue just like on the foto attached... It was no way to stop it neither removing battery helped.. and after a few hours screen was totally black... digitizer is working fine..

sorry for poor photo quality it was taken by my girlfriends desire C without AF in bad light conditions...

I am sorry for posting it here but I have totally no idea if it is even possible to do this with display down....

Thank you so much guys

There is no need to reset any counter. You can't hide it anyway these days. There are eFuses burned already. That doesn't mean you lost support though. Just send it in.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maho92:
First of all thank you for your reply

And hmm that's not so good ... however replacing screen with digitizer would cost me 165 euros if they would say my warranty is void ... and what do you think, should i better flash the stock firmware or not ?? I can do that through odin with no problems also without screen working..

thank you

Hello Guys,

First time poster! :)

I've already gone through numerous post suggesting one should not use toolkits for rooting phones. The whole purpose of writing or asking question is I'm rooting my device for the first time and I'm not having computer of high configurations (Still on WIn XP, 512 RAM, 40GB HDD). Can anyone suggest me absolutely minimum requirement(Tools/Software) for rooting phone via PC? I saw few post referring to AndroidSlimKat, but I'm not sure if the links are updated one.

Initially I was thinking of doing it by installing following apps:

> Towelroot

> Boot Unlocker for Nexus Devices

> Rashr - Flash Tool / TWRP Manager / ROM Manager

> SuperSU (Chainfire)

>Root Checker (Joey Krim)

Also, what all are basic knowledge/information/commands requirement in case I do go by above listed tool methods? Is it worth taking chance?

I'm on stock. Android 4.4.4 R2.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Don't use toolkits or apps. Use fastboot commands. Definitely dont use ROM manager.

We cover everything you need to know in the general section

Click the link in my signature to get to the stocky thread. This contains all the important threads. Read "adb and fastboot. What is it?" then read the unlock and root thread.

Job done
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaycool7:
Thanks a lot for your reply!

I want to root but I don't want to mess up. I'm not sure if I can trust my PC (USB Connectivity and low end configuration). I will wait for few more days and hopefully I can build a willpower to go with traditional way!! :)

P.S: Toolkits/One click apps are so easy to use, but not sure what if you are stuck. :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Definitely follow [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] 's advice. You'll learn something and see how easy it is once you get the hang of it.

You have a Nexus...kits and apps are completely unnecessary and can cause issues. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voidcomp:
You have 2 options: (1) learn and HOPE you've done it right (and probably forget everything you learned later), or (2) use a GOOD toolkit.

For me the choice was easy. I used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit - http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-3-t2517778

Use it with this vid tutorial to work up the courage :) - http://youtu.be/KnlUdjUaD3Q

Fantastic tool. Very easy and good to get you out of a bind also.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Forget everything you've learnt? Hardly. If you just want your device to look "cool" and not care about using fastboot/adb ever again you probably shouldn't be here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
That is some seriously bad advice. I'm not ant-toolkit but that is shoddy rationalization.

Are you sure it doesn't support it? One thing about Linux is almost everything is supported. I had some issues with a cannon wireless printer. Couldn't get it to work with Ubuntu 14.

Now I print whenever I feel like it.

Not saying it's the same for your sound card but I bet it is.:cool:

I rooted my phone yesterday now I m getting camera failed warning ......is there any way to fix this [emoji20]
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
This question had been asked a lot of times and answered a lot of times too already. Battery life depends on your daily use, we may have the same phone, use the same ROM/ kernel but we use it differently. We can't have have both good battery life and good performance at the same time. So the best and only way is to try it :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mtopdagi:
I want one of these roms.(Beanstalk,Cm11,DarkCM) Thats all. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
Then try each one of them using its stock kernel for at least 3 cycles of full battery. I'm using CM11 and battery last for 1.5 days (more or less) on my daily use. Haven't tried Beanstalk and DCM yet, I'm fine with CM11.

That zip can't be flashed. You need to extract the img in there, then boot into bootloader (fastboot) and use this command

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] have2flash:
Sprint HTC EVO 4G flashed to BOOST MOBILE using BOOST SAMSUNG M540 as donor. I'm on the unlimited everything shrinkage plan since its inception and don't pay extra for the unlimited internet.

The MMS stopped a couple of months ago. I found that the donor phone was listed on the unsupported list for SPRINT discontinued phones. No problem just get a new donor phone. Hadn't done that yet, way down on the priority list LOL

But now... yesterday the HOTSPOT stopped giving an IP address. My internet has been going in and out due to some construction over the last week so I have been using the HS a great deal lately. Not streaming (don't watch videos or music) but I do upload many photos for CL and eBay listings.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is it due to the donor I have not changed out yet?

Has the HS changed? I know Boost has phased out the unlimited internet, is this what I am experiencing?

I know they have begun throttling back after 2.5GB.

If I have been throttled, would that prevent getting an ip address for the HS?

My account date is the 23rd and it happened on the 25th. 2.5GB in 2 days..... Anyway to figure out where I am on that limit? the account activity doesn't show it.

Just spoke with BOOST Mobile. I have not topped the data limit so I'm not being throttled back. The hotspot activates and starts. It appears in the available Access Points but it won't pass an ip address through to the laptop. I have tried 2 different machines so I

am sure it isn't the laptop. My laptop will still connect to it, it says limited capabilities and shows no ip address.

Any thoughts???

thanks in advance

[HTC Sensation] oojafink:
Hello

Around a year ago, I began to try and get to the position where I could install a non-O2 ROM on my Sensation XE. It was the first time I had attempted such a thing. After carefully following a number of tutorials on xda-developers, I got an error that I was unable to resolve; no amount of google searches came up with a solution that worked. So I began to undo various changed that I had made up until that point and the phone has been fine.

Today I tried to factory reset the device, including wiping the SD card. Before the wipe, I backed up ONLY the documents/photos/media folders on the SD card.

Upon first try, the SD card was wiped, however the device was in a non-restored state. I instructed a restore again, and this time I got stuck in a bootloader loop, where I was unable to get out of the bootloader.

Taking the battery out/putting back in/powering on got me back into the operating system, but still with no restore taken place.

If I repeat the instruction to restore, I end up back at the bootloader. Factory Restore/Recover options in the bootloader have no effect.

Here is what the bootloader says:

Sensation XE - O2 UK

*** RELOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.27.0000

RADIO-11.23.3504.07_M2

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

eMMC-boot

Jan 13, 2012, 17:33:34

FASTBOOT USB:

VOL UP...

VOL DOWN...

POWER...

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

---------------------

SLECTING BOOTLOADER THEN GIVES OPTIONS:

HBOOT

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

---------------------------------------

I have attached grabs of all the software versions I'm running.

So the phone itself works fine; I just can't get it to factory restore. I am guessing I have at some point, wiped the required data necessary for the restore to take place, but I have no idea if I am right, and if I am right, how on earth I go about fixing it!

Any help/advice would be gratefully received.

will flash perfectly but there is no backlight on the tablet, entering boot mode and reflashing to the stock rom resolves the issue.

Resulted in display corruption. Again, reverting to stock deals with the issue, BUT I want the device rooted.

Both the roms are reputable and apparently from here!!!

Anyone any ideas?????
