[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi mate ,

First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free

Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)

Regarding your questions

1	OTA are CSC dependent

2	Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also

Second part of your questions

1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA

2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty

3	Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands

4	Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

Hi

Same as above check your CSC probably is for another country
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGACH:
OTA / CSC

I have no idea why Knox free is better ^^ i googled but not enough i guess.. does it makes problems with rooting or smthing?

Alrighty. I dw-ed two apps, both named Phone Info. I just have a questions:

If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?

Is there any cons for changing CSC?

My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Wont flashing firmware change CSC too? If I install russian firmware will i be able to get OTA updates as soon as it rolls out for russia? Or will OTA completely be blocked?

Thanks a lot, and sry for late reply
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi,

A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same

Regarding your first set of questions

1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP

2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......

3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region

Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.

so after about two weeks after moving i found my nook and went to charge it it boots up and is really sluggish but it boots into 10.2.1 cm i believe never updated farther but anyways so i reboot its doing the same so at this point im stumped so i figured i would reboot into recovery and just wipe the system clean i only hit wipe and factory reset like normal nothing else and installed 10.2.1 and then gapps as normal i go to reboot its stuck in a boot loop now i cant get it to boot wont mount external sd card the nook isnt recognized by my pc well atleast doesnt install drivers just says bn nook hd unless i make it take adb drivers in which case it shows me adb devices 0123456789abcdef in recovery i cant connect it wont allow me and i cant sideload i get error but i can still boot into cwm and it says at the bottom no file contents i can flash other recoverys which i have onmy internal sd card but it doesnt boot past cyanoboot screen which it does dim and go past that screen but it just stays blank so im kinda lost sorry for the lack of punctuation.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You are not bricked. You are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset. That will take you out of your recovery bootloop.

If you respond further, please use punctuation. It is very difficult to read your first post.

can this be done.. i live in a country that doesn't have that phone and i was thinking of buying it from the US through Sprint.. but will i be able to unlock it and use it on my country?? does it support SIM or not?

Why not use a HTC-HERMES

You would be better off getting a HTC-HERMES based phone. most of the US phones that are EVDO-based can't be unlocked to my knowledge. The HTC TyTN 3G Phone is better every which way than the PPC6700. I've demo'ed both units and I really like the new Hermes over the 6700. Not to mention that sprint is the one of the *worse* US celluar companies out there :P

[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] bigbawlayesyawla:
In a conversation with a verizon rep a few months ago, I learned that, while not advertised, it is technically possible to activate sprint phones on the verizon network. they would need the MSL (master subsidy lock) code and a second unlock code. The MSL is needed to program the phone with the phone number itself. The second code is used for deeper device programming so that it would work on other networks. keep in mind that the rep said that it is technically possible and could not point to actual instances where it had been done.

on a side note...I think that sprint uses only one frequency mode, while say...verizon uses two frequency modes (but the one sprint uses is the same one verizon uses for voice and data on evdo phones).

my understanding is that another carrier will have to add the ESN of the sprint phone to the ESN block of their phones, which is something that may be difficult to do...you would probably have to find some kind, knowledgeable rep to do this for you.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] cosmic665:
No Verizon

I'm using verizon wireless now. Before using verizon, Please read the following:

* Not only does Verizon limit the type of "unlimited" use, it imposes a quota on "unlimited" use, and terminates customers who exceed it. According to the Washington Post.[6], Broadband Reports[7], tech columnist Robert X. Cringely, many wireless industry "insider" news sites[8],[9], and countless blogs[10]; Verizon advertises "unlimited" broadand service but automatically terminates anyone using more than 5G/month (166M/day), no matter what they use the service for. This is a quota of about 15 minutes of actual data transmission time... for an "unlimited" use account. A PBS investigator monitored his bandwidth during normal use and discovered it to be 184M/day[11]. .

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Wireless

This is very tue of verizon. Does anyone know if this is gonna change anytime soon?
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] Yung:
You can get the MSL (unlock) code from the Apache by using Bitpim. Check this post:

http://ppc6700users.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1640&start=15

It worked for me on a Qwest phone. Sprint still wouldn't activate it for me though.

no SIM but you can now change ur ESN see here.

~Mike
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] bigbawlayesyawla:
after my post above, I tried a few things...

here's what you would need to do :

change your esn (you will need your msl) to an esn that is in the block of the target carrier (hint, buy a cheap or give-a-way) change your esn, make sure that you calculate a checksum (there are instructions and programs all over the internet on how to change your esn). program your phone with your number: ##<your msl here># and type in your 10-digit phone number. don't worry about the dec or hex, just change the esn and program your number.

You CAN NOT use a CDMA phone on a GSM network. They are completely different signals. You can unlock a Sprint phone and force it onto Verizon. You can't force a Verizon phone onto Sprint, unless you know someone inside that doesn't mind losing their job.

Again, CDMA phones ONLY work on CDMA networks such as Verizon or Sprint.
[General Questions and Answers] kingramses:
Any help will be appreciated.

Had a Galaxy 10.1 that was dead. Read every possible tutorial I could get my hands on.

THEN THIS WORKED:

Downloaded Nvlfash

Connected my device

Ran the following commands:

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go

nvflash --resume --download 8 recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.img

And magic, the device made the familiar Samsung jingle and started up. <---I THOUGHT PROBLEMS SOLVED, I'm a genius.

The device works perfect, but the moment I power it off, it's dead, wont power back on. Have to repeat the above process and that starts the device up again. Can't get into down/recovery mode etc...the above process is the only way I can get the device powered on.

Any advice for a newbie, what should I do after starting up with Nvflash to get the device to power off and on like normal again?
[T-Mobile LG G3] wellsey1126:
Just curious if and when a kernel will be created for the g3?

Ive used samsung for a good couple of years and typically something was out a week or so after the release.

Just noticed in the tmobile lg g2 section that no custom kernel was ever created?!!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
I dunno bro in the note 2 and 3 days it took a few months before devs made a kernel. It gonna be a while.
[T-Mobile LG G3] frettfreak:
good question but no one one this forum will be able to give you that answer. Its entirely up to when LG releases the source. TECHNICALLY, they are in violation of GPL already, but good luck enforcing that lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] krowley3:
Kernel source has been out for over a week. This is just an FYI: https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=LGD851
[T-Mobile LG G3] frettfreak:
Wow. I had no clue! Wish I knew how to develop. Can't believe we don't have anything yet! Development in the g3 is seeming kinda slow for such a great device.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
Only one version has a truly unlocked bootloader and full custom recovery. Maybe there aren't many devs that bought the TMO G3.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cvsolidx17:
Thanks for linking. Gonna see if I can build cm when I get home later
[T-Mobile LG G3] Upstreammiami:
We really don't have solid developers here yet..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
It seems they all bought different models. A lot probably bought the d855. I know some bought the d850.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Upstreammiami:
That doesn't matter great dev will make for all models
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
Can't until all models have a recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G3] frettfreak:
Wow! Not every model has a recovery yet? That's odd. This was one of the easiest devices to root. At least the d851 was. Kinda sux the way LG does their models. But I know it was the same on the g2, this should be a much more popular phone than the g2 (imo), but development was awesome on the g2,so hears hoping!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
Recovery has to do with bootloader, not root. The D855 has a tethered TWRP recovery. D851 has the only untethered one.
[T-Mobile LG G3] KAsp3rd:
We just got the stock kernel compiling and booting ( without the 60 second lag it was causing) I am hoping to have something out over the next weekend. Can't promise anything though as I do have a full time job and a toddler.

I'll leave this here
[T-Mobile LG G3] Skizzy034:
The SELinux status I remember seeing on the Note 3 ans S5. What exactly is it's purpose on the G3? Does it affect anything being that it's enforcing?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jassycliq:
Part of Android since KitKat (iirc) its the security aspect that they've added. It's here to stay, and yes it does affect root apps but basically every root app has been updated. Once android L is released there will be an influx of non-working root apps though.

Check my thread in development. 002 has been updated. Changelog is in the second post.

I've yet to look into it. When is it most noticeable?
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
Mostly with gray or dark backgrounds with white text or vice versa.

You can see the over sharpening effect and seems to look blurred or have a halo effect around the text.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chrisjm00:
This. There are no options to disable it that I've seen so it has to be a system level thing somewhere. That's the only thing I dislike about the phone.

The wireless charging cover does add thickness to the phone, causing pretty much all S5 cases to not work with it. Here's an entire thread dedicated to the discussion of which cases fit with the wireless charging cover: Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herasi:
Hey all,

My new m8 (AT&T, 4.4.2, rooted) is having some issues. After a restart, I went to type a text and got no keyboard popup or notification to select input. I assumed my Swype trial had expired, went and uninstalled the trial and tried to install the full version. On the second screen, it tells you to select the Swype + Dragon keyboard, but when I select it, nothing changes; it just goes back to the Swype app telling me to select the keyboard. I'm not even getting the stock Android keyboard anymore, and I can't bring up the input selection through anything other than the Swype app. (On a similar but potentially random side note, it also won't let me change my auto-rotate setting. If I enable it, it immediately disables itself when I change screens.) I downloaded SwiftKey and it gets stuck on the same screen, but when I select it, the keyboard will pop up in texts (it just has a notification that I need to finish installation.)

Just trying to avoid a fresh install...

EDIT: if I select the stock keyboard, I can also get that working (the notification to change input also comes back), so it's now just Swype.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
May i suggest you to try Swiftkey instead of Swype? Swiftkey is a great keyboard, it does also have the "swype" feature and recently, full version of Swiftkey became free compared to Swype which cost around 5$ and it was also recently updated to support emoji.

Btw you have posted in the M7 forum, forum for the M8 is here

For eg:

3.First Open es file explorer and browse to emulated/0/andriod/obb/com.gameloft....sme lyk it vl be depends on ur game and Now once check the properties of that file to confirm that it is the data file or not(it will be 900mb-2gb).Now copy these file to sdcard1/andriod/obb/.(if obb folder �� is not there please create it)and delete the file in "internal storage" com.gameloft.....(delete the file in emulated/0/android/obb/com.gameloft..../"sme file").

4.To ensure that u have done above steps correctly open the game that it should'nt work.

5.Now open folder mount app it says "write error" click on no and now click on add(+) and now name ur game as eg:modern combat4 and now select and select your souce file browse to emulated/0/android/obb/com.gameloft....depends on ur game it vl be.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
I am using a Nexus 5, and I tried to flash the CyanogenMod 11s from OnePlus One to my Nexus following instructions from here:

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nexus-5-gets-port-cyanogenmod-11s-featuring-android-4-4-4-1458608

My phone was not rooted, I performed a root and apparently succeeded, because I saw SuperSU installed on my device. I then proceeded to follow the instructions from the site mentioned above, performed a factory reset, and selected the ROM I downloaded to flash. The flashing failed and I am currently stuck in bootloop, afraid to proceed further and brick my phone.

Some of the signs I noted with my phone:

At the ROM installation screen, it says 'checking for MD5 file... Skipping MD5 check: No MD5 file found', 'symlink: some symlinks failed', ' E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcar', and 'Error flashing zip '/sdcard/CyanogenMod_11S_ham'

At Reboot menu, upon tapping on 'Recovery' option it says 'No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?'

Please help me out, I'm sick at the moment, guess it is not a good idea to flash a ROM when you're sick huh? Been trying to find a solution and can't seem to find it, not sure if because I'm sick and too tired to read through or there really isn't a situation like this...

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first option, adb push a rom and gapps to your phone(while youre in recovery), then flash it. second option, flash the factory img via fastboot while youre in the bootloader. it has nothing to do with being sick, it has everything to do about learning all about your device and how to take care of it, before you start modding your device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, you didnt actually. you could have had a bad download, that happens often enough(but i dont think its the case, as it wouldnt remove your rom), you also could have experienced a recovery bug, that also can happen from time to time. btw, did you mention which recovery youre using?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
I'm using TWRP. :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, try to download it again, and push it to your drvice with adb, then reflash it. or try pushing another rom. or, you always have the failsafe of flashing the factory img. btw, did you happen to make a backup in recovery before you flashed? you should always make a backup in recovery if flashing something new, just in case. in your case, it would make thing extremely easy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhayden:
Unfortunately, I did not make a backup. I will learn from this mistake.
