Did you backup your efs data? I'll been flashing for years and never gave it a 2nd thought... until a few weeks ago when my kids while playing with the phone froze it... and I had efs errors and bootloops. ..

I was able to odin the efs backup but unfortunately I've also locked my bootloader (still not sure how I did that)...

Currently I'm running safe strap with 4.3 skynote-n3bula hybrid... do I miss kk? Yepper... but at least I have my phone back...

The efs fix is in this forum.. try search? ... I will look to see if I saved the files some where...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tkun:
I unfortunately didn't backup my efs. I didn't know anything about efs until today when I ran into this problem and started googling around. Do you know of an efs backup that works? I'll give a search around the forums for a fix.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playb3yond:
Hi, I have a big issue installing all but one build of the PAC-Man ROM not installing on my Droid Razr Maxx HD. I've tried installing multiple nightly & Dev builds of them ROM but they all boot loop at the Motorola logo. No one seems to care about this issue either. I've posted on almost all social media the Pac-Man ROM community has bit it seems to not be getting any attention. (Excuse me for getting a little off track) I always do a factory reset with twrp twice before attempting to install this ROM, I've also tried repairing the data partition (which is this fix found on Droidrzr forum) I've tried flashing back to stock KitKat, I would try side loading a build but twrp's side load feature doesn't work. Could some one guide me to sending a Dev a boot log so whatever bug is causing this is squashed? I really want to run this ROM. Or, could someone who has had this ROM installed guide on getting it up and running?

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...8960unofficialodex444baked-08-01-14/?p=451296 is the fix I tried

These are all the builds I've tried installing, only 1 worked.

i dont know the answer, so ill just throw out a question.

do you know that the pac rom has been updated to kk source?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playb3yond:
I've known, I've tried the updater to kitkat as well, still no luck
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i only asked because i didnt know.

so i just went and read this entire post (is this the one we are talking about?), and it has not been updated to kk base yet as far as i can see.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmh714:
if you bootloop at the boot animation then its most likely because your data partition isnt formatted to ext4

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sleekmason:
If you are using the Straight Talk Galaxy S4 with build number

JSS15J.S975LUDUANB1 and just want root and simple recovery

You can root using towelroot.

SuperSU will also deactivate Knox.

Safestrap version 3.72 works for getting a proper recovery installed with the option at boot for system or recovery. Note that it will say safestrap is disabled but will still allow your choice to boot into recovery.

Make a backup in recovery as soon as you can.

Or if you want awesomeness!! Do THIS!!

Here is the definitive guide for those wondering what to do that will work and be stable and AWESOME!

From the beginning:

1.Root with towelroot (search) AND install SuperSU from the play store.

2.Install the latest recovery from here using the DD method listed directions from the TWRP site. This is from T-Mobile and works! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263001

MAKE A BACKUP!!! DO IT! No more messing around with Safestrap and the bitter warnings!

To get into recovery hold "home+volume up" during boot. Whoooo!!!!

3. Install the Lollipop gpe ROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539361

This uses the aroma installer and works well.

You may, or may not have to input *#6463*# into dialpad to change settings to LTE etc.. This adjustment may alsobe in the ROM settings!

4. Optional - install the googy kernel

I like this kernel better though there isn't a huge difference from the hulk kernel. Make sure to install the GE edition 1.3.0. NOT TOUCHWHIZ! : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741181

ENJOY!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Droid2drummer:
I used tmo twrp. Flashed tmo and att roms. I also have the Odin file. I am not sure but I am on the s975L which I thought was att not sure but pretty sure. However it also says i337 underbattery ...I've tried more tmo roms than anything. No safestrap but I might try that later. Seems we don't have locked bootloader. This is great. However unlock is next for me. Having a blast hacking the hell out of it. So far I have had no issues. Again I'm not new to this. Lol. It's an addiction. I have sprint note 4 as my DD. So this is my fix. Lmao.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sleekmason:
As far as I know, the bootloader IS locked, but can be bypassed using Loki to patch kernels for custom roms. Glad to see somebody else on this phone:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Droid2drummer:
That's strange. If it was locked I wonder how I've used tmo twrp no loki or SS and flashed tons of roms so far...I just odined back from a modem issue. But rerooted now off to get some modems etc...boot and all. I'll keep reporting. Thank you bro. I maintain many devices and carriers and am about to start a channel on YouTube. I do music writing now with keyboard. Now I'm just getting a hand on s4 straight talk and will make a list of all working roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sleekmason:
True.. I don't know as much about it as I like. I just wasn't able to use fastboot or "unlock" using fastboot.

If you are working with the modems let me know how that goes, and maybe you can help with an issue I'm having? My GPS won't work after trying a ROM with safestrap. What I've posted here is a result of trying to fix it. I consistently show NO satellites. I consulted the local phone fixers to no avail. I was wondering if it could be related to a modem issue? I think the ROM I first tried did something deep to my phone, though Phone Info showed at the time everything to be original concerning baseband etc.. And a factory reset didn't help.

I'm at the point now of thinking its hardware rather than software but the coincidence to trying the ROM was too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Darrak91:
Hey everyone!

Is there anyway to dail the phone pad without using the stylus? Idealy, I would like to use the D pad to go from number to number.

Is there any program like this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mccune:
Try SmartsKey ;)

TIP (NORMAL USE): When you selected contacts hold down the D-Pad for faster scrolling. Big letters will apear ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leepriestenator:
Try this...

One Handed Dialer v1.2

IMO... This is the only one available that fits the bill. Allows you to dial numbers using the D-PAD. A no nonsense program that does exactly what you want.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jorge_culv:
Consider E-ten skin

You may want to think about an E-ten skin for your dialer. This does not let you use the d-pad, but the buttons are rearranged so they are larger on the screen. I can easily dial with my fingers. Just another option...

[Android Themes] TotallyAnxious:
I really like the design of EvolveSMS but it's current filled with lag. I believe the brother of the dev of EvolveSMS created a similar app that has less settings but pretty much the same is very smooth. So I created an android L styled theme for Sliding Messaging Pro to hold me over until EvolveSMS gets smoother, and I figured I'd share the theme I made for it.

If you haven't heard of these apps then just google them. Both apps have paid elements and I don't want to break XDA rules.

Assuming you have the app and theme engine installed you'll be able to copy the theme into the app folder.

How to:

Internal SD Card > SlidingMessaging

Copy and paste the theme and make sure the permissions are rw-rw----

Go to the app and open the settings. Select "Custom Theme Settings" and the Android L theme should be the last theme in the list.

You can edit the theme all you want with the the built in theme editor, in case you prefer something different but with android L colors.

Feel free to share the theme all you want, and you don't have to say where you got it from (though it's a good idea to do it anyways), just don't claim you made it.

I may have more questions as I continue to customize my phone.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Using Xposed framework by itself should not increment Knox.

Firmware updates would normally remove root. So you should consider disabling the OTA updater. If you wish updates, it's better to do them manually. Alternately use Mobile Odin Pro or Super Su Pro that have features that try to preserve root after an automatic update.

You can find more details about these and most other questions that you could think of by searching the forum. It's a good habit to search before posting. A brief search usually answers a question faster than a post or at least enough information to ask informed follow up questions.

I figured out it's not the ROM I'm using. I was using Omega until it randomly stopped working one day, then I did a factory reset and re-installed Omega ROM and it was fine, until it then randomly stopped working again. Then I installed another ROM thinking it had something to do with Omega ROM, it was working fine, but as I was reinstalling all the apps I had before it got busted again (I have no idea what exactly made it stop working). I know it's not the sensor because every time I do a factory reset the Screen Rotation works perfectly.

Does anyone know what could be interfering with it?
