[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Monkeymo13:
Hi,

About two days ago I posted a forum topic about upgrading a relative's AT&T S4 here in Canada (Rogers Wireless). After a while, I was finally able to upgrade the bloody phone to 4.4 from 4.3 by following these two threads: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM & I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip and

I337_NB1toNC1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip & I337UCUFNC1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM(4/24/2014)

However I now have a problem with the Lock Screen Options, Removing Safestrap, and the Mobile Hotspot. First, when I go to set a PIN for the lockscreen, I only have the two options Swipe and PIN (which doesn't work at all but is an available option) while the rest have this message under them "disabled by administrator encryption policy, or credential storage". I've tried googling a fix but none of the fixes seem to work. It is said in the first thread posted above, that the MK2 bootloader users will experience a lockscreen settings issue but I can't apply the other bootloader provided that resolves the issue as it is stated that it may cause a hardbrick to the phone since I'm on the NC1 bootloader. I'm not sure what can fix the lock screen problem.

My second problem is removing Safestrap. Stated in the second thread above, there is a known issue that Safestrap will force close after updating to NC1, but Safestrap will continue to function normally after. I tried the method of manually uninstalling it by using ES File Explorer and tried deleting the safestrap folder under system/etc/ and the e2fsck file under system/bin/e2fsck, but I get an error that those files/folders can't be deleted even though I gave ES File Explorer root permission.

My third and final problem is the Mobile Hotspot that comes with the phone from AT&T. I tried to run the mobile hotspot today, but I get a message saying that Mobile data not available or Invalid SIM. I'm assuming since this is an AT&T Phone and AT&T is using their own software to override the System Default Hotspot Tether program, It doesn't let you run it without having a AT&T SIM. Is there someway to restore the System Default one that Samsung ships with it's phones and remove or disable the AT&T one?

Thanks.

Bump?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
The manual method of removing ss is only for older versions, but good try. (I tried the same thing, myself)

Given the lockscreen and safestrap issues, rather than try and troubleshoot, I recommend starting fresh. It will be easier than troubleshooting. I'm not sure what method you used in the first place, but I've never seen safestrap fc after initial install. Try these steps and see if you have better luck... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51130818

***Note - The settings for safestrap are stored in the TWRP folder on your extsdcard. To get get the clean install, you will want to delete that folder before odin back to stock. (If you have any backups stored in there, you'll want to copy them out first.)

As for the hotspot issue, I am not in your situation (ATT phone on another carrier), so I cannot verify if these will work, but they sound good...

1. Do nothing. Maybe Odin back to stock fixed issue

2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53509265#post53509265

3. Following your own advice of moving off ATT software, flash one of the roms in post 2 here that are i9505 based (or Maple Leaf, the Canadian based ROM)... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53758259

So I have a 32GB Nexus 5. I played around with it (flashed Android L, back to stock 4.4.4, rooted, ya know), and on the Bootloader, it says that I have a variant of the "hammerhead D820(E) 32GB" version, but when I go into my Storage in the Settings menu, it says I only have 12 GB left.

I just factory reset everything, so.

Is there any way to go back to 32GB?

Sorry, I'm a beginner to this whole thing..

Hey.

Far from satisfied with most things

Could use some quick help with a rom that works with an MHL adapter. "Hdmi"

I want to se on Theodor TV what i se on my sgs2.

And it's just as easy to install new ROM if it is to downgrade to?

What do I need to consider?

NOTE uses me never out of computers.

I use the very simple program "ODIN mobile Pro"

Has enough been surfing around on the cell phone a total of 4-5 hours just for a solution.

But now I give up and ask for help.

Any help is welcome.

No im not sure yet. Ill be able to work on it alot more monday when i get home but i bet i it has to do with framework. Ive tried disabling xposed and it still doent load art so im leaning towards framework modifications. Im gonna look at the s5 files since its able to use art
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you'll just have to flash it through recovery cause if you try to replace through a root browser you will lose touch and you would have to reboot into recovery and restore a backup

That may be why it kicks it back to dalvik. Im gonna find iut why it does. I i pushed the files in so they are good.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] donkon:
I am fed up with the garbage charging cables, literally every month I have to buy a new USB cable. I have tried many different companies and they all break after 1 month or less of use. BTW I am travelling Europe so anything here would be great. BTW I've spent about $100 in just USB cables.

P. S

I've just lost my **** because a cable I bought 3 weeks ago stopped working an hour ago. I can't warranty it because like I said I'm traveling.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] tuxoa:
Cables I use

I have two of these:

((Can't Post Links... It's $7.99 on Amazon, just search this "aLLreli® 10ft 3M Premium Gold Plated USB 3.0 Supper Speed Data Sync Charger Charging Braid Cable - Extra Long"))

One for my Note 3, and the other for my Note 12. They are braided, long, and hella durable. I would say my only complaint is that the braided cable is thick, and sometimes hard to coil up to fit in a tight bag.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ShadowLea:
I've never had issues with the original cables.. I also use the (prettymuch identical) Note 3 cables.

Just find a Mediamarkt or Saturn or Conrad and look for reinforced gold-plated USB3 cables.

Also, perhaps it's an idea to change your methods of storing the cables. Mine have been everywhere from folded in the bottom of my bag to tangled in a suitcase with tons of junk, never had one break on me.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] ElementOfChaos:
I can't say that I actually paid any attention to charge cables. I connect my Note Pro to whatever charger is nearest to me, the original one or other USB 2 cables from mobile phones. Never had any problems.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] donkon:
honestlyI hate to say it but I bought exactly that cable from amazon uk . It was the worst one out of the 12 cables I bought in the past 6 months . It broke after 2 days of use Just stopped charging and fitting in the Slot. Right now I'm on my 13th cable which costs me $ 10 usb 2.0 and its lasting me about a month so I'm getting ready for it to die again

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] gollums:
I hate to say it donkon, but I've had the opposite experience. I too have the aLLreli cable, and it has worked great for me. Other than maybe a 2M option, 10 feet IS a little long, the cable is great. It connects solidly, allows me to read in bed while having it plugged in, and send to be a good cable.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] donkon:
I'm starting to think my galaxy note 12.2 might be the culprit as I have never had a problem on any device. Before a cable dies I get an alert that my tablet is too hot and it will not charge . Next event is my cable stops completely working.

Sent from my SM-N910F (Note 4)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] muzzy996:
Could be, how do the contacts within the tablet's port look? Anything bent or misaligned?

Only other possibility is the charger itself.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] donkon:
The port looks good to my knowlegde but I've had a couple cables have pieces come out of their ports after using them a couple times. But I think that might be cable qaulity related. 1 have my original new Note 4 adapter I was contemplating to try but I am afraid that will get broken too if I use it with the tablet

Sent from my SM-N910F (Note 4)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] muzzy996:
Yeah I wouldn't try. I keep that one reserved for my Note 4 since the tip has a unique feel to it (the shape) just so I know which one is connected to the special fast charger for the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] kkretch:
If your in a jam you can use a standard micro USB cable to charge your note pro 12.2.

Found this one with a 10 year warranty http://www.lindy-usa.com/3m-cromo-usb-30-type-a-male-to-micro-b-cable-41620.html
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] wingdo:
For that price, it better not break down. I have been using these two cables without issue all year.

Just for charging on my nightstand:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] rodnok1:
I've used both the expensive and the cheapos to varying degrees of success. Some of the better cables don't fit well into some devices due to the protective cases. . As much as I want to use Samsung cables when the kid destroys one it hurts(I am guilty too) so I buy the cheapos off ebay by the dozen. Seldom have had an issue and they last a good while . I just trash em at first sign of getting worn.

This is late, but...

Here is my story of me being a GENIUS. I tried flashing a g2 ROM because I didn't read everything and because I am a dumb donkey. Anyway, so I get into recovery mode, wipe everything, and then try flashing the ROM. MISTAKE 1, it told me to make sure the ROM was compatible, but me being a genius I skipped the check and just flashed it. MISTAKE NUMBER 2, it failed flashing the first time, so me being a genius tried again, it took almost 5 minuted but it finally flashed. I reboot it and it just stays on the LG screen, I leave for 10 minutes and come back, still there, leave for 30 minutes and come back, still there. I take the battery out, and go back into recovery mode. I get in there and look at the ROM name, "Cloudy G3 for LG G2". Good thing I had another ROM handy and flashed that one instead. Now none of my sensors work, the accelerometer, proximity, gyroscope, etc. None of them work. I am a GENIUS. So the lesson here is read the whole name of the ROM, not just what you want to read and don't be a genius like me. I'm still going about trying to fix my sensors, but if I can't, I'll be getting a new phone with the T-Mobile JUMP! thing anyway.

OK so I decided to do a full unroot, and return the phone back to it's original state. Now all of my sensors work and I'm running the Illusions ROM with working sensors.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearless!:
Hello everybody,

I'm a victim of the infamous purple tint camera bug so I'm planning get my phone fixed and thus need to get back on stock. I'm currently S-OFF and relocked bootloader. My phone's original CID is O2___102 (German O2 HTC One) but right now its on super CID (11111111). My hboot is 1.44 and my radio 4a.13.3231.27. As of right now there is a 4.2.2 custom rom running on the phone. I tried to go back to stock using this RUU ruu_m7_u_jb_50_htc_europe_1-29-401-2_r_radio_4a-14-3250-13_10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe but it always gives me that annoying 155 image error. Does anybody know a way for me to return to stock? All answers are kindly appreciated! :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You can follow the link in my signature on returning to stock. The reason you were not able to run that RUU is your MID or CID needs to change to match the RUU. Take a look at this crushalot's site for the .401 RUU.

Thanks a lot for the reply. My CID is on 11111111, shouldnt I be able to flash every RUU? So basically I should change my CID to HTC__102 and then flash RUU M7 UL K44 SENSE55 MR HTC Europe 4.19.401.9 R Radio 4A.23.3263.28 10.38r.1157.04L Release 353069 Signed 2-1 ?
