hmmm

The first paragraph seems redundant.

To change your phone in any way from stock by definition is modding.Changing functionality at a system level means rooting.XDA host files, tutorials and links to do all of the above so it would seem like XDA is in fact in the business of modding and rooting.

The poster who claims everything should be locked down to prevent BYOP is in fact in the wrong place for said comment.

Verizon and Att will be the only locked devices, TMO and Sprint, unlocked, and of course the international versions also.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

lol, you scared the rep away. :laugh::laugh: I did the same thing when I got the N3, I am with ATT, and they hung up on me also, so I bought the TMO device and unlocked it for ATT. I will never buy a ATT device again, period!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
ATT Has said on numerious occasions all of their phones will come with a locked bootloader.

Verizon always locks their bootloader too - but they offer a developer version - sometime after the launch of the device in question.

TMOBILE has not really locked any bootloaders on any of the samsung phones and there is no reason to believe they are going to start now. I stopped buying ATT Phones when they began locking bootloaders and have always bought TMOBILE Phones since. THis includes a preorder of the NOTE4 - which I am very excited about and can't want for it to be delivered

Does any one have a screenshot of the bootloader to show knox counter?

No one seem to be posting Note 4 bootloader to show if it still has that crap from note 3
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
I'm confused by this paragraph. What you mean by "approved by the carriers", if you mean junk them up then yes, that apparently translate to "approved by the carriers". The storage space as listed in the device specification don't mean crap anymore. And this goes for ALL the smart devices manufacturers. It's getting worse. Why TF say it has 16GB of space and then only have about have of that left. And then who the hell is the "companies who use their services". Ok, I get that Samsung put stuff like Knox on it and lock up the bootloader because they don't want to deal with people who brick the phone. But, the additional crap that piled up because of the carriers are total bull craps. Most of the that the carriers want to put on the phone can go on the app stores. Make those apps appealing and people will put them on them self. The only reason we have carriers stuff put on by default are are party our fault. I don't directly mean you and me specifically but the consumers. It started when the carriers offer the contracted phone at discount. Notice even back then it was only 1 year contract, now it's like 2 or more. Same thing start to happen on other stuff too, like cable and broadband services. In the case of wired services, they all got some sort of monopoly created by the local and state government. Spend the money to make the law that only benefit them, so they can make more money and make another law to benefit them again and again. In the case of wireless carriers. Those subsidized phones are what people asking for, and in return people wanting to spend more money on the cell phone. Thus give those carriers power over the consumers decision to purchase. Even though if you think about it, those phone would have been lower in price if you consider the market competition. Those contracts and subsidize phone price are what get rid of competition. If you look at the non-smartphone(what used to be call just cellphone, and now feature phone), are exuberantly expensive. Tell me why a simple phone like LG A380 is selling at at&t for $100 or LG Exalt on Verizon for $200. If these aren't monopoly power then tell me why non-smart phone demand such price when something like Moto G is selling for only $200 out right.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
As tester, I have flashed quite many different Samsung phones, some of them hunderds of times- without bricking or damaging one single device. My i9000 has been flashed far more than 300 times and works better than ever.

Knox is just a money making thing. Many people report that even flashing a fully stock firmware with Odin has tripped their Knox warranty.

There is an easy workaround for all who all who don't want to argue with Samsung about Knox warranty void: hardbrick yourself. Flashing a wrong firmware or even disconnecting the USB cable during flashing process of the "right" firmware might be enough to hardbrick. When there is no download mode, they won't be able to figure out Knox counter AMAIK

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Yes, I'm aware of that. Even sometime when flash the wrong firmware it may not fully brick the phone and still recoverable via download mode. Not to mention who know if Samsung may a way to read the phone the other way, something like serial/jtag? Don't get me wrong, I don't work for Samsung and I still like to hack my phone. But there is also an ethical view involve here. Let's look at the old traditional overclocking CPU here. Say, if you over overclock and over cooked your CPU, the result is obvious you got a burned CPU and there is no warranty there. But what if you overclock it just enough that it will work somewhat stably, but slowly burn internally. After 9 months, your CPU got pregnant, stop working. Should you be able to claim the warranty even though you slowly kill the CPU yourself? Yes I know it's kinda bad comparison since you can overclock w/ just root, and I bet Samsung would like a complete control just like apple but there is still the same ethical question. I very don't have problem w/ locked bootloader at the purchase point in general. But I do have problem with them not unlock the bootloader after the warranty period, espscially for product that technically have the operating life cycle way past their support time table. Keeping the bootloader lock prevent other from supporting them too. Imagine a Core 2 Windows PC that only run XP and won't be able to install Win 7 or Linux. Well, it past the life support from Microsoft, and you won't be able to re-purpose it even though you brought the PC yourself. This is a wrong way these manufacturer need to be heading. They all think about locking the products up and want the customers to keep buying new products every year or two. While many of us glad to get a new shiny stuff, but that doesn't mean the old one is unusable. I have my old Samsung GS2 that is not activated to any carrier, and use it as MP3(podcast) player instead. Seriously, we may need to tell government that we need a law to unlock all those electronic devices so we can keep them off the landfill.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
JTAG can reflash the phone. IDK if it can read what bricked the device.

Solution is easy for me: I will not buy any Samsung device anymore. No Knox in my home.

I read though that knox 0x1 doesn't void warranty
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
Yes and No. Have you seen the picture of the odin mode? It clearly said "KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1" The purpose it to determine whether your warranty is void or not. That said, it's up to the whoever you take the device to whether will grant the warranty. Also, from what I heard in europe they can't deny you warranty even if you trip the knox.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezky:
I'm totally newbies with samsung devices, but i consider to buy the Galaxy Note 4 with a (french) carrier contract and i'm not sure that i've understood the informations of the subject,

Today i'm runnning a Sony Xperia Z who really has a Locked bootloader (no Custom Kernel, just Official Kernel and OFW modified) and it really bother me :/

I've understood the Knox 0x1 fact (void[or not] the warranty)

But does it possible to install Custom Kernel and Custom Rom with a samsung device on carrier contract ? even if the warranty will be void ?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As long as your bootloader isn't locked by the carrier you will be able to flash what you want. AFAIK only certain American carriers are locking the bootloader. At the moment there is no custom recovery for the n4 but that will soon change, I'll even have a go myself if no one else does it.

As for knox it's main purpose wasn't to void warranty but for corporate use where employers didn't want thier phones rooted for security reasons. In Europe any hardware failure should still be covered by warranty even if knox has been tripped
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
It should regard only Knox software, not the device. But depending of the country or even the person in the service, Sucksung interprets the Knox trip often as guarantee void, even in many EU countries, where should be two years warranty on every device by all means.

IMO, it isn't worth time lost to get the justice on the court. Better void Samsung devices in the future.

0x1 Jump!

I wonder if I should keep my rooted but 0x1'd Note 3 instead of Jump!(ing) to the Note 4 if I'm going to have to go through the same risks again with the 4. I can probably do a 30m drop test and return it damaged...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conchchowder:
So I can flash a Rom and custom kernel with absolutely no risk of tripping the Knox 0x1 warranty void trigger as I did with my Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
no, it will trip the knox trigger, but that wont void your warranty..this has been discussed endlessly here..

Did anyone pick up a Note 4 and determine that it indeed has a locked bootloader like the Note 3?

There is no way in hell I will buy a phone with a locked bootloader again. I am stuck with the locked Note 3 and I miss the days of ROM experimentation I did with every other smartphone I ever had (HTV Evo 4G, Note 1, Note 2). I am keeping an eye on the Note 4 in case either they decided to drop locking the bootloader due to customer complaints or someone figures out how to unlock it, but since no one figured that out on the Note 3 I am not holding my breath. Likely going to pick up a Nexus 6 this time and sadly end my long running Note streak.

I read all 12 pages and I am 95% sure my bootloader is unlocked . I just want to verify , I read all international versions are unlocked. I have the 910c . One quick question can you root and custom recovery on a locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Usually it would brick the device, as locked bootloader preserves the system partitions, including recovery.

Some devices however are using bootstrap. Your Note 4 has ceirtanly good threads regarding all this, you're here in a S4 thread.

Hello all, anyone know what the max card support for the universals sd/mmc reader is

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kecido:
Hi there,

If I'm not wrong, the manual says clearly that universal can read/write SD cards up to 2GB (unless someone with a better expertise than me knows something different).

In any case, this is not completely right, many people uses 4GB cards (including me), but it seems that not all the applications can cope with them, photo camera is one of them, if I'm not wrong, it will not save the photos to the SD unless it has 2GB or less free space.

Somewhere else in this forum, someone else said that he even uses a sam..ung 8GB SD card (very expensive).

Hope this helps
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Yup i use a 8GB Samsung SD Card to watch DVD's. I dont have the time to encode DVD's to avi xvid format so i just copy them directly to the 8GB card and watch them on the tcpmp player. Quite fun i believe. I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card release by samsung and sandisk.

im using the 4gb 150x sd card from mobymemory (£47) no probs! nice and quick too noticed tomtom load quicker.

Im getting the 4gb Transcend sd card soon.. im currently using 2gb transcend but I soon realized it still isnt enough...the bigger, the better of course :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joe_dude:
nuclear, I don't understand... how is an 8GB SD card possible??? 4GB should be the absolute max.

Does the Universal support SDHC in one of the newer ROMs or something?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Well the device will always show you 2000MB regardless of the ROM. But you can put more than 2000MB on your 8GB card and it will read all the files and you can use them. Its just that at this part the memory monitor will show your SD card in the negative section or full. All SD Card are compatible in the HTC Universal. Enjoy.

I am waiting for the 32GB SD Card by Samsung and SanDisk
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joe_dude:
Brain... does... not... compute.

Nuclear, I need more info. What card did you get? What brand? Is it SD or SDHC? How did you format it?

What's different about the Universal that makes it possible?!?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Its a SD. Samsung 150X 8GB SD Card for $200 or so. I formatted it when i insert it into the Universal. Then i hooked it up to my PC. Transfered a DVD into it. And then back into the Universal and it played the DVD!!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joe_dude:
I was going through the SD specifications, and it looks like that SD 1.1 could support up to 64GB (!!!) using 32KB clusters.

Unfortunately, this won't ever happen, since SD 2.0 flags anything above 2GB as a memory error.

8GB should be possible because FAT32 defaults to 4KB clusters, which would match. Larger capacity would need reformating to match the larger SD clusters, but technically it should be possible, IMHO.

So probably some of the Samsung OEMs do work at 8GB using SD 1.1. But I'm seeing the new auctions say SD 2.0 compatible only.

Oh well, I can live with 4GB, but I hope Windows Mobile adds support for SDHC and MMCplus.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joe_dude:
Nuclear, the 4GB Sandisk I believe is SDHC, so it will probably screw things up. The 8GB Samsung you could probably reformat on your PC.

If you have an SDHC and an SD USB reader, use the SD one, as the SDHC one might force you down to 2 GB.

Hey, it's just my guess from reading the specs. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
My SanDisk 4GB Extreme III is a SDHC? I was sure i bought a SD only. It says SD on it....

As for my 8GB my PC detects it as only 2GB. Reformatted and again only 2GB. I know another way to fix it. Partition MagiC!!! I lost 6GB in partition space. And same with the other 4GB card. Once i partition it every 2GB it will make 3 cards in 1 . Well stay tuned and i will let you know how paritioning the space helped.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-edge:
Hi Guys,

I am getting sick and tired from my samsung based rom on my Note 2.

Every samsung based rom I use is becoming unacceptably slow and sluggish after some weeks of use and I would like to give another try to a CM or AOSP based rom. :rolleyes:

Now the last time I tried that - I was having two main issues which made me to go back to samsung:

1. Video camera Mic gain - the Mic gain when shooting video was very high and that messed up every video I took, especially when filmeing in a loud environment.

2. Call recording - couldn't find a decent call recorder - on samsung I just need to enable it using Xposed and it works flawlessly.

Are those known issues when using custom roms on Note 2 devices?

Can you tell me if there's a solution for those so I can finally use my phone properly?

Thanks in advance!

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezdi:
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're running low on internal storage, here's what I did for a fix:

First, apply one of the myriad of options for allowing any app to read/write the external SD.

Get the xinternalsd xposed module.

Tell it to make everything point to the external uSD card.

Then move everything from the internal emulated SD card to the external.

That will probably clear up a ton of space.

If you're still running low, clean up the app caches. If you really have 4GB of apps and data on internal storage, 1GB is probably caches.
