[Moto X Q&A] tombaldwin6:
So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?

So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] waterbound:
I have a Sprint GS4 with MK2 (SPH-L720), waited a while to root and saw Towel discussed, tried and it worked 100%. My experience rooting is mostly with HTC products so this was my first rooting with the GS4 and it couldn't have been easier. Added SU, verified root, all seems good!

I have an update that was downloaded over the past month or so that I have denied installing and glad I did since it seemed very easy to root!

So what's next? I'm used to installing a recovery and ROMing away.. I have ROM Toolbox installed (pro) and noticed they have the option to flash a recovery for you and wonder if that will work? If so, what recovery is good for this phone? I'm very used to TWRP and hope that is still a good recovery choice. My main goals are to be able to take the updates and keep root. Im fine with the stock look and feel but want that option to add the bling and speed when I'm ready..

I'm not too worried about the Knox being tripped but confident it was disabled during Towel root.

I always search, just can't find specific information on my phone and there are many many differences it seems. I figured compiling some answers would benefit others that bought the GS4 a while ago and never rooted until now. Any help or direction is appreciated!

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] waterbound:
For anyone in the same situation, I was able to avoid using Oden by utilizing ROM Toolbox, it flashed the newest version of TWRP successfully.

To summarize:

Sprint GS4, MK2 and never took an update for almost a year since purchase. Full root with Towelroot, installed Super User, granted and installed Root Checker to validate. Downloaded ROM Toolkit and flashed TWRP newest version. No issues, no crashes, no tripping KNOX. All good.

Seems there are a lot of people asking for help and while 'search' is useful, there are so many variables, so many threads to sift through its almost impossible to find what you need. Hopefully this helped someone.

Still determining how to take updates and if I will lose root. Still running stock but I am about to try my first custom ROM on this cell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bryguy9021:
to my knowledge u can root every varient easily but even if u flashed twrp without tripping knox have u actually loaded it yet to see if recovery flag trips? and once u flash a rom it would deff trip the counter.. but who cares about knox anyway.. i tripped every counter within the hour of getting this phone :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] waterbound:
I have and it didnt but like you said, I didn't care if I tripped kmox etc. Thanks for the reply! So you believe it is safe to take the updates? Im really just trying to have tether working. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frostedunit:
If you're wanting to update via OTA, you'll have to unroot first.

There is no native hot spot hack for the NG2 update as of yet and Towelroot doesn't work yet either

Hi, I have the C6903 4.3 14.2.A.0.290 and I would like to get to the newest stock rom 4.4.4. I would be very glad and thankful if anybody had the time to give me a step by step as I have completely forgotten how to do everything (long time ago I rooted the Z1) Give me a step by step in how to remove my root and wipe everything on the phone so it's factory reset and newest version.

Thanks!

Just update using pccompanion, or flash a 4.4.4 ftf using flashtool, then root it using newroot. Follow my signature links for help
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanozy:
If I update using pccompanion does it completely remove root and leaves my old apps behind or does it completely wipe everything?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FahmyAbou:
The apps will remain if you use Pccompanion but you will loose root. However if you use flashtool there is an option to wipe everything, so you can choose if want to leave the apps or remove them.

The best way is by using "SEUS"...Cleanest and best method ever existed...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
Hi,

I have a SM-N900K/hltektt (one of the Korean variants of the Note 3), currently with NAC bootloader and baseband versions. I'm running an AOSP-based ROM with TWRP as the recovery.

The latest firmware for this device reportedly fixes an issue us Korean users using AOSP-based ROMs are having with LTE. The firmware version is N900KKKUFNG5_N900KKTTFNG5_N900KKKUFNF3, and I believe this means it has NG5 bootloader and NF3 basebands.

I've downloaded the full ROM tar file, but I'm looking to flash just the bootloader and baseband. I've never done this before, so I wanted to see if this is even possible.

What I have in the tar are:

NON-HLSO.bin

aboot.mbn

boot.img

recovery.img

rpm.mbn

sbl1.mbn

sdi.mbn

system.img.ext4

tz.mbn

Which parts would I flash with Odin, and can I use Mobile Odin for this?

If this seems too risky, I can always flash the whole stock ROM and then restore my own stuff from nandroid, but I wanted to see if there's an easier way to just update the bootloader and baseband.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckoon93:
im not sure about the bootloader

but for the baseband, u can flash the modem.bin and NON-HLSO.bin and it will works! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman95:
flashing bootloader is not necessary. If you have any KK BL it's OK

I have old BL et new modem

Hey, im not sure what i should have called this thread but anyway, when i lose LTE on my phone it used to switch to H+, now it switches to 3G. Basically im wondering what i need to switch in the default file to display H+ instead of 3G

i hope this makes some sense
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajxx16:
Well 3g and H+ are different. You can check to make sure in data settings that you have GSM/WCDMA/LTE AUTO set in there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
I basically loose the H (HSPA) service with my operator by taking the 4G package, I get 4G LTE, and in bad coverage area's, which is almost everywhere for Vodafone UK except major cities, I get a G or an E unless I can connect to a wifi.
[Samsung Gear Live] wolfspider55:
I recently had the success of rooting and installing twrp on my gear live. I used twrp to make a backup, yet I don't know how to move that to my pc. Anyone know how? :confused:
[Samsung Gear Live] skitty:
On your PC "adb pull \sdcard\TWRP c:/watch backup" will pull the twrp folder to your C drive

You can then use adb shell on your PC to remove the folder as its about 450mb in size. Use "adb shell" then "rm -r \sdcard\TWRP" then "exit". You can always push the folder back using adb if you need to restore
[Samsung Gear Live] wolfspider55:
Thanks

Thanks for the help dude. I'm not to familiar with the commands for adb. Anyways thanks for the help.:good::)

What color G3 did you guys get? Are you happy with your choice? I played with the gold one at the store and it looks real nice..
[Sprint LG G3] skillz360:
I went with the black "Greyish" color. I'm happy with it.

I thought the gold one looked like a toy, so i went with the black. I really wish they would have had the white.

I went in to get the gold one, but when I looked at it, I thought it looked bad. I ended up getting the black/gray one.

[General Questions and Answers] linoskoczek:
Hi,

I want to buy a phone from eBay (I'm not from US) and I found one, but there is a note:

What does it mean?

Greetings
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
clean imie means the phone is not blacklisted or stolen.

ready for activation really cant be axplained mch further. just means it is ready to use as soon as you activate or put a sim in it.

there a good bit of scams on ebay with phones, you may want to try a more safe site like swappa.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imei

A bad/dirty IMEI would mean either the phone was lost/stolen and reported as such (usually by the insurance companies), or that it was reported as lost/stolen, but actually wasn't, and the seller got a replacement or reimbursement for the phone and is now selling the original device.
[General Questions and Answers] linoskoczek:
Thank you both for your answers! Good to know it means that, because I thought it's an info like "IMEI is 000000..." so I wouldn't be able to use this phone. In my country, I have never heared of dirty/clean IMEIs so that's why I asked you about it.

And bweN, I would use Swappa, but thirst thing, I can't find this phone there (Galaxy S Relay 4G) and second thing, when I found it today, the seller won't let the phone to be shipped to other country than US.

Thank you for your answers again!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlinespending:
I've got the NFL Game Pass app working (requires a mouse; I'm using Droidmote) so I'd have to imagine the Sunday Ticket app would work as well.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcsephoenix:
Thanks thats a start. I wish they would make Droidmote available on the amazon app store. I have a ton of amazon coins to spend and can't find anything to spend them on lol
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaxs:
So you side load the Droidmote server on the FireTv and run that in the apps, then exit, and it runs in the background? I too would like to get Sunday Ticket on my FireTv.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlinespending:
You and me both. I ended up just buying it. It's not without its shortcomings, but it's actually quite nice. One time the server complained that it wasn't a registered license, and I had to uninstall and reinstall it. But it's been solid since. And for the client I'm using an old phone which disables wifi when it enters standby and the Droidmote software doesn't auto reconnect. I have to manually do so, which is such a drag. I contacted the author and he doesn't appear interested in fixing this, even though it'd be rather trivial to implement that auto reconnect functionality.

I purchased iit and installed it from the Play Store (which I had side loaded). There's a setting to have Droidmote server start in the background which works well. I believe you need root for it
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mybad702:
I can confirm that DirecTV Sunday ticket app works fine on the fire TV. Side load it and it works fine The problem is that it is entirely a touchscreen app so the fire TV remote will not work and you cannot watch anything. Droidmote fixes this problem, but requires root. If you don't want to root, just plug in a mouse to the back USB port. I have all the games up now! Good luck.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJZimmer88:
I side loaded Sunday Ticket to my AFTV, and can login and see the list of games. But nothing happens when I click on "watch game"...

Have you gotten a game to actually work? If so, which version of the Sunday Ticket app are you using?

Thanks a lot for posting that! It worked just fine - no errors like last time! I did notice it's one point version back from the version that's currently in the play store.

Anyway, I started it up, highlights, stats, work fine. However, I tried to stream a live game and got this error:

"Due to NFL rules, local broadcast or non-sellout games are not available to stream on your device."

It was towards the end of the 4pm games... so maybe I'll try again tonight and see if i can get it to work.

Any progress for you? Did you get the same error?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcsephoenix:
I saw that message as well on the Dallas game. I was mostly trying to get the redzone channel working. I gave up for this week no luck with either app nor any browser. Luckily the games I wanted to watch were in my local market this week. The tablet app works fine on my hp touchpad running ICS.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJZimmer88:
This version looks like the tablet version, WAY nicer than the phone app I tried before on the AFTV

The Sunday Ticket games are over for the week, but I was able to watch some replay highlights, and did see errors about games not being a part of the Sunday ticket package. The highlights played in full screen, and with Ethernet had better quality than Airplay from the iPhone.

When I tried to click the Red Zone channel it showed a loading circle and said "activating" and never loaded. I'm not sure if it's just because all the Sunday Ticket games ended, but neither red zone or fantasy some currently load.

The big question mark will be next week... Will we be able to get a live game to work? :) fingers crossed.

Also - did anyone else notice the "record" button...? How could that possibly be useful? Lol
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreakingDroid:
I had the same results as others when installing the tablet version Sunday ticket. Everything worked, aside from live streams, when just hang up on the loading screen.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcsephoenix:
I got the same activating screen when trying to watch live games or the red zone channel yesterday unfortunatly. I assume the record button would tie back to your DVR if it is your directv account.
