[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizaria:
It's been a long bloody time since I fiddled around with stuff on this phone. So I'm still on a rooted 4.1.2.

My questions are is it worth the upgrade to KitKat? And if so, what's the easiest way for me to do so? Hopefully retaining root, but not too necessary.

Help would be appreciated. For dummies. :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoOoZaQ:
Hey there.

I've gone through the process myself recently. Here is what you should do :

1. Download a custom rom from the Android Development forum. For example I downloaded the DN3 v5.2, but whatever catches your eye is fine.

2. Just follow the instructions the rom' s topic states.

3. If you have trouble getting to the recovery mode, you should flash with Odin some custom recovery. I like the cwm recovery.

4. Most guides provide info how to root your phone but if not then there is a topic in the Android Development forum about it.

I suggest backing up everything you can before- copy the phone contents to your pc, run the efs professional program to backup your efs.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
Hi there. I'm using n7100. N7105 is not far different to n7100. I've recently upgraded my phone from 4.3 to 4.4. I can't see a big difference from the 2 version except 4.4 consumes more battery than 4.3. I think you should consider 4.3 first before going straight to 4.4.

Just to inform you. What I know is...4.3 and 4.4 Official Rom already have Knox. So maybe you should read about them first. And Flashing Custom Recovery like PhilzTouchRecovery may trigger your Knox and increase your Binary Counter. And you may loose your warranty.

Flashing and rooting stock ROM is easy. But you have to do it right. What I did:

1. Download Odin

2. Download Samsung USB Drivers

3 Download 4.4 Firmware for my phone at sammobile.com

4. Install Samsung USB Driver

5. Run Odin

6. Put phone in Download Mode. Check if Odin successfully detected my phone

7. Once success, load the firmware to PDA Tab/Button. Don't touch anything

8. Press start. Wait till done. Wait till your phone reboot on it's own.

9. Once rebooted, check "About Device".

10. Done!

11. Download PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26

12. Put device into Download Mode again.

13. Run Odin again

14. Connect device again

15. Load PhilzTouchRecovery.tar.md5 to PDA Tab/Button

16. Uncheck Auto Reboot from Odin

17. Click start. Once Pass! Disconnect device.

18. Hold Power Button, DON'T RELEASE till you boot into your new recovery.

19. Once booted to PhilzRecovery, select reboot system now, but make sure not to overwrite with stock recovery or else you're PhilzRecovery will be reverted back to your stock recovery and you have to flash again your PhilzRecovery.

20. Once successfully flashed PhilzRecovery. Make all necessary backups (Full backup) you can't make EFS/MODEM backup yet because your not yet Rooted. You just installed Custom Recovery.

21. Once fully backed up. Copy backup files to your PC.

22. If you want to root again. Use CF-ROOT on 4.4.2 or use Dr.Ketan's Multi-Tool-Advance-V6 in 4.3. And follow their instructions.

Good Luck. HTH.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizaria:
Thanks for that. Still wondering which one I should try all this Knox stuff is puzzling. Seems a lot of things have happened since I last had a fiddle.

Very concise steps, cheers for that. Might give all that a try. Just need a safe rom. Not sure what. Is there anything else that needs flashing, like modem files or anything?

Thanks for both your comments.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoOoZaQ:
Only the rom is necessary. Shouldn't flash modem and kernel etc unless something doesn't work.

All the roms published in xda are fine and safe. I just went for the topic with the most views.

If you want you can also download stock 4.3 from www.sammobile.com

Just choose your device and you get a file flashable with odin. About 1.9 giga download.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
Your current Bootloader doesn't have Knox. So you better search for a 4.3 or 4.4 rom that doesn't flash new bootloader. I think i saw it somewhere in the development.If I were not mistaken, it should be flashed thru custom recovery. Coz it's a zip file.

All I know is all rom files from sammobile.com includes new kernel, bootloader and modem. So if you flash this roms from sammobile, you will have a new kernel, bootloader and modem. It's all up to you. If I were you, I'll stay away from Knox. So find a rom that supports your current bootloader. Maybe a custom one.

Maybe this will help...

Fair enough, thanks.

If I try the one below, think that'd work out alright? And which to use, deoxed or not?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asin_punk:
Yeah nice find... It should work fine... you're on the 3rd status "For those are on the 4.1.2 bootloader the rom could work normally with AGNi Kernel include in rom". I think you should go for DEODEXED for more customization and etc. Read here: http://codeversed.com/deodexed-vs-odexed-rom/.

Make sure to follow instruction precisely and strictly. And make sure to copy your Backup to your PC right after you created it. Coz if you do a Full Wipe, Reset and Clean Install, it will also delete the backup that you made. Read the instructions multiple times carefully to avoid mislead. Once you done it successfully, you will be on Custom Rom and Custom Kernel. Sounds very techie. Hahaha. Good Luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizaria:
Thanks for the advice. :p

Really, I wanted to upgrade to Android L but then I saw it wasn't out yet so I was like...huh, KitKat time?

I'm not even sure if it'll be any better than what I have! Mostly just want something with better battery life. Even though I just bought a new battery that lets me use my phone for 3 days and a half hour. I have noticed that Screen/Android seem to be bleeding power a lot more these days, so figured it might be worth a wipe and an upgrade.

In any case, whenever I do, I have some handy guides now. Cheers~

Hi, I rooted my Xperia SP yesterday via TowelRoot and everything was great. I used SuperSU which was fine but I decided to factory reset as I wanted to root with a custom rom which ended up an awful idea. Now my phone will not work will SuperSU, root explorers but TowelRoot still somehow 'works'.

Hey guys,

About 2 months ago I brought an i9505, it's overseas stock I think it had firmware for Netherlands? Anyway it worked perfectly fine in Australia. No issues what so ever. I recently though ok I really want to root my phone and install an AOSP rom. I flashed the 4.4.4 Google Play Edition rom located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 I also tried out a few other ROMs but with every ROM I had this problem with reception dropping down to 1 bar randomly, then at times the antenna would be gone all together and had some circle with a line through it. Sometimes it comes back but if I leave my phone over night when I wake up in the morning I cant send sms's or make calls.

I don't know what im doing wrong ive followed the instructions corresponding to the ROM developers notes. I really don't want to return to stock firmware because that's the only firmware that currently works fine.

Cheers.

Not retrospectively! If you didn't back up your settings before wiping then there is nothing you can do now!

As for future backups, you can only do this through third-party apps at the moment. Something like Helium or TB, but most backup apps require Root as well

As far as I know you can't backup your homescreens, only the Google Search settings.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] singletrack970:
I don't normally ask for help usually many others have had the same problems as me and I can learn from their mistakes but this M8 has given me more headaches than any other phone I've ever rooted. I was using a SGS5 until a few weeks ago because my S3 died in its sleep and I didn't do my research before heading to the Verizon store. Once I realized the bootloader wasn't going to be unlocked I traded for the M8 because I can't keep anything stock. After 3-4 hours fighting with firewater I finally broke down and used SunShine to S-off but now I'm having trouble getting SuperSu to install. I am fully S-off and when I open the SuperSu app it says I need to update but it fails every time. While fighting with firewater I tried using Superuser so I just tried that and it fails as well. I really want to try Viper but until I have SuperSu set up I don't want to risk doing anything to it. Any help is appreciated

Edit: Even after SunShine I don't have root until weaksauce kicks in. I think I'm supposed to, huh?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I figure if you wanted to do this you would've done it anyways but going to recommend this anyways. If you would like, the simplest way to do this is by flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP or Philz CWM and using that to flash the SuperSU.zip which will flash both the app and the binaries required to use it.

Link to TWRP 2.7.0.0

PhilZ touch CWM

SuperSU flashable zip & just incase you cant find it, the download link.

& finally just incase you find outside links (even though its official site) shady or unsafe: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2717932
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
If you're s-offed and unlocked you don't even need to root first, just flash a custom rom after making a nandroid. Every custom rom is already root injected.

Or like previously mentioned, flash a supersu zip and it'll inject the proper binaries.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poog:
I was wondering if anyone has gotten any other recording software to work with the 4K/UHD mods. for the Z1?.....specifically for 4K/UHD recording....?

Some 3rd party apps in the Playstore do 4K recording but only with certain phones like the S5, Note 3 etc.....not phones that are modded for some reason.

So is the problem the software needs to be written for specific camera profiles?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
I think the software checks if the hardware is powerful to handle 4K Recording...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poog:
But the Z1 already does 4k recoding using mods and ported software.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Playstore can't check "mods" it check your phone, he knows that your phone is z1, z1 doesn't have 4k video recording, it's automatically says to you your phone is not supported.

Playstore check phone and database to it, not what is installed or moded on it.

Bud play store doesn't check that.

[General Questions and Answers] xyanidenz:
good Afternoon all,

just need a bit of help and reviews on what people think, i am looking at getting a new phone ..

but i don't know what to pick from Samsung Note 3 or Note 4 or S5...

i read a bit what they say the Note 4 going to have - is the Note 4 basically the Samsung S5 but bigger?

what do you people think, if you own an Note 3 or Samsung S5... what are the benefits over each other, i like to take camera photos as well

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Josh McGrath:
Both cameras are great on the note 3 and s5. I don't know the specs on the note 4, but comparing s5 to note 3, it's all about screen size. I personally don't want a phone that big but some people love it.

The note series has always been a step ahead of the galaxy S series though. So I would assume the note 4 would probably be a bit better specs wise than the s5, specifically the ram and probably the processor speed and series.

If you like the bigger screen, go for it. But I own an s5 and love it. Very responsive, no lag like the s4 had.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cuongfucius:
Hey guys, since T-Mobile has unlocked bootloader, are you guys able to flash other carriers roms like at&t?

I'm only asking because im on an AT&T model, but eventually want to flash T-Mobile roms once our bootloader is unlocked for wifi calling.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheJesus:
It would require some tweaking, but in the base idea, yes, they're all the same (with different radios and likely different kernels). You'll want to just wait a little bit and have devs port to the other models. However, your goal of getting wifi calling likely won't work. Maybe I've been out of the loop, but last I checked the app registers your phone number with the T-Mobile network so it knows where to forward calls/texts to. So it more than likely won't work for AT&T/Verizon. I believe Sprint has it now, but same method.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cuongfucius:
hi sorry, i left out a big important detail. I'm on t-mobile lol. so it would work for me. This is my first lg phone, and i've been on many other phones where we can easily cross flash carriers without the need of porting the roms. I was under the impression that the at&t model was slightly different? i should revisit that again just to be sure.

I was hoping if there was any hard evidence or experience that someone did flash an at&t rom without any hiccups. That'll mean we can do it vice versa.

Thanks for the info.

Vz runs a cdma network for voice and data, t-mobile runs gsm. Some phones can do both, eg Verizon's world phones, but by no means all of them. YMMV

btw I just realized android isn't that far from linux.

/data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/shared_prefs/

or

/data/user/0/eu.chainfire.supersu/shared_prefs/

Now to figure out what string grants adb root rw permissions at startup.

The drop dead sexy update:

Adding this string to eu.chainfire.supersu_preferences.xml will grant root access to all apps that request it.

I'm not sure whether this is all it takes but this seems like the only change that happened once I changed the setting in SuperSU. Will try it as soon as I get home.

Follow-up:

So this is what I added, along with the above and got su granted through ADB. Now the phone is able to get root while it's running stock 4.1.2 UXUMA7

One problem remaining, AndroidScreenCast doesn't seem to want to request root for touch input or browsing the filesystem. What do?
