[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi

I have "blocked by cc mode" on my S7 :(

I have TWRP installed which has a terminal. I can't use USB for anything :(

I try "busybox devmem..." But it comes back saying can't find /dev/mem. I'm guessing this is what's called. Do you know where I can download "mem" from please.

I need to bring my phone back to life. I can use the SD card to copy across.

Please help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Busybox is an app. It creates s series of links to commands that are typically available on a Linix (unix) system. Android kernel is linix based.

devmem is a command available in an adb shell or in terminal mode.

No idea if the hack still works or not.

If it does still work I am sure it would require root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi

I have root.

I have terminal and busybox, but the devmem command fails.

I can install anything on the phone using TWRP :)

I'll try your hack. I really hope it works. There is almost no other info on cc mode available.

Best regards

This is what I get running devmem

To actually use it, you need to su first to get the # root prompt like this:

1|ua255@hltevzw:/ $ su

Then try the command /dev/mem isn't writeable by ordinary users
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi

Thanks for the "su" headup.

The problem is that I have so little installed on the phone now.

I need the dev/mem code

I even need the "su" code. At the moment it says "su not found".

So I need to install some zips. Can you suggest some for me please... I guess busybox would be one, do you know where I can get all the code for the "dev" folder please - which Zip is that?

Regards

Dean
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Both busybox and supersu are available in the playstore. /dev/mem is a file directory not a file, unless you are root, it's not acessible to you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi

I have root. Thank God.

I don't have play store, but I can find the Zips and install them through TWRP.

Then I'll su and busybox that devmem command.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Regards
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
How do you not have play store (Google Play)? They are not zips, they are apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi

I don't have the play store because I don't have android.

The apps need android, but my phone won't even boot. I have "custom rom blocked by cc mode"

Download is blocked by it too.

All I have left is TWRP in recovery mode.

Regards
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
I got adb shell to work. I connected to the phone...

You just need devmem and the address. Not busybox devmem and the address.

The only thing I can suggest is that you use ODIN to flash back to whatever the latest stock ROM you were on and go through the rooting process all over again.

The bootloader won't allow you to boot with a non stock recovery unless you unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi Everyone

Please could someone zip up their root folder, without system, so that I get a copy of all the /dev files and everything else.

I have looked everywhere and have overwritten the phone with ROMs but they don't include the /dev area of files.

I have SM-G925F exynos 8 core.

If anyone has the same then please zip it all up and post it here for me. It'll mean I can try unlock my phone. I have no idea why my phone doesn't have /dev/mem and other files.

Best regards, Dean
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Dean,

First... This whole forum is for the Verizon model SM-N900V version of the Note 3. That's not what you have.

Second... /dev "files" are not files for the most part.. They are links to the hardware created during bootup. Different hardware different links.

UNIX (LINIX) based operating systems have a kernel layer (software) that that is specific to the hardware. Think of the kernel as.. Among other things.... as a series of device drivers that show up in /dev as if they were plain old files.

The point being, hacks that access stuff in /dev are specific to specific hardware... Thus hacks that works on the Verizon Note 3 (snapdragon processor) most likely will not work on a Note 3 from Europe based on the Exynos processor.

You need to get back to straight stock and then move forward with ROMs and kernels designed specifically for your model Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deansmithok:
Hi Donc

Sorry. I didn't realise I was referring to different hardware. My mistake.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krismach:
Ive tried to update baseband of my AT&T m8 to Taiwan radio, and after successful flashing it shows correct Taiwan radio on fastboot, but in about phone it shows unknown for baseband, and can't connect to anything and the phone reboots every few minutes.

The phone is unlocked has s-off and has supercid 11111111

Thankfully I did a backup of my AT&T radio before and was able to restore it, and it works. But I would like to try Taiwan radio since I'm going to be here for a year.

Also what I noticed which might not be related is that I couldn't flash radio using recovery, could only do it fastboot/adb method.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Well radio, hboot and recovery can only be flashed using fastboot. Thus will never work in recovery, as recovery can just install the corresponding OS.

Regarding the radio you wanted to try. Could be the OS is not designed to work with the Taiwan radio bands, or AT&T doesn't work with them in the region you're in at the moment. Another guess is, that the whole rest of your firmware, as well as you current stock ROM don't support the radio and you thus won't be abled to use it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krismach:
Is there a way to tell if a radio is supported by the ROM? I'm running ARHD 10.2, which is based on 4.4.3 stock rom 2.220.401.4. Or should I look for roms for Taiwan version of m8?

Thanks for your reply as it totally makes sense. Just it's strange they included recovery method in the radio thread, they should remove it to make it less confusing.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Right, so you installed a radio that was designed for different hardware and it caused problems. Experiment successfully completed.

Hello. I have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 on 4.4.2 and the NC5. I tried to install a mod thing. The instructions on this website said to flash this zip. I used this flash gordon app to flash the zip. Now, my phone will not turn on, It goes past the Samsung screen, but cannot pass the Verizon screen. The animation plays but it just stays on the same screen forever. How can I fix this? Will I have to do a factory reset? Also, is there a way to backup my apps? I just realized that I accidentally deleted my backup yesterday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If a cache wipe doesn't work, then you need to reflash the firmware you are on. It won't wipe your system.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gobbling_Monkey:
Hello and thank you for replying. I wiped the cache both in safestrap and in the android recovery, but my phone is still not turning on. How would I reflash the firmware on my phone? Also, how would I be able to retrieve my files? Would it work if I wipe/factory reset?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You are on the N5 firmware. Then just reflash the N5 firmware for Verizon with Odin.

Factory reset would do nothing more then losing your apps. So you don't have to do that.

Just flash the N5 firmware and you still will have everything. You have to reroot though and probably flash safestrap again but that's it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gobbling_Monkey:
Hello. I would like to thank you for your help. I did what you said and found the firmware and successfully reflashed the N5 firmware using instructions on a website. Although I already did make the mistake of factory reseting and did lose my files :(. What I flashed claimed to theme my Galaxy S4 like the S5. Since it didn't work, I just ended up installing the Hyperdrive ROM. Thank You and have a nice day.

From Firewater attempt. I am aware that $ in adb shell means it is not rooted. So I think there's just a big issue with if it is or not rooted. Like the original post, one says I am and one says I am not. So I am giving up!

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. The article is great like I said. Just sometimes there's some information about something else and I just couldn't work out if it applies or not. A little bit more description would help.

I thought about doing that but I am reluctant to fiddle about too much now. I'm being super cautious with all things technology wise. I lost a hard drive last week and then the backup of it two days later when I tried to put it on a new drive. Through no fault of my own and it's costing £540 for it to be recovered by a professional company. I don't want to f-up anything else because I can't afford another phone. My contract is up in Jan so I'll just stay on this till I can upgrade. My phone hasn't prompted me to upgrade ota again yet. So it's not a necessity to return to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:

To get the wake gestures, you would need a custom kernel such as elementalX (possibly in conjunction with Xposed + Sense6Toolbox).

I like to think I am not stupid. But sometimes when I am using something new like adb, then I just daren't do something, since I have the possibility to wreck my phone.

This confused me. I didn't know if I had to reboot my phone or whether I needed to type reboot bootloader/fasboot usb into adb.

Reboot to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, then:

fastboot getvar all

Then this confused me. I didn't know if I needed to do these?

Common downloads for all methods:

download CWM from here: recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img 8.5 MB

rename the file to CWM.img (careful about .img.img in Windows)

this is originally from: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2173863

I'm using the 6.0.4.5 version because I've noticed that some versions (I've tested 6.0.3.2 and 6.0.4.6) have problems with adb commands when used in "fastboot boot CWM.img" mode.

download Guru Bootloader Reset from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_boo...reset_1-0-zip/ (this is the thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2527194)

----> if Guru Bootloader Reset gives you a hard time (freezes), use alternate method from FAQ #8

I realised after installing xposed and sense6toolbox that I needed a custom kernel. I was lost in a world of roms, roots, custom recovery, xposed and just gave up because I couldn't find out what I needed to do re. the kernel.

I am downloading ARHD and I am ready to flash it, I will try to s-off with firewater. If it doesn't work, I will just keep ARHD on and be fine till I can upgrade to a new phone. Not sure which one yet. Torn between Z2 and M8.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Thanks for the feedback.

by bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, I mean this screen:

because that's where you issue fastboot commands, and the "fastboot getvar all" command is one every user should be familiar with, as it gives you the necessary information to know what your phone is.

I'll probably edit the box and make a copy/paste of the actual command prompt.

Not sure what's confusing here, it does say "Common downloads for all methods" -> so yes, you need these.

Maybe I'll just put them at the beginning of each method instead (when I get a chance to rewrite and add the mirrors)

You would need ElementalX kernel for wake gestures, and since ARHD 71.1 is "Sense 6 Android 4.4.2" you would need version 14.12 of ElementalX.

yes, that RUU is for your model:

(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__001

but it is a lower version and decrypted, so only flashable with S-OFF

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

did you check md5 on the download? also which recovery are you using (name and version)

adb only works in custom recovery, or booted up ROM with USB debugging enabled.

why can't you get to recovery?

B) Force reboot

Press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.

(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)​

then enter RECOVERY

Sorry I crossed posts, I wasn't sure if you'd seen it.

When it is in the bootloop it tries to enter recovery itself, it says something like no context file or something. It flashes for a second and that's it, it returns to a bootloop. It does the same if I try enter recovery from the bootloader.

When do I do the force reboot. No matter what I try it just enters the bootloader screen.
