[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Can i know does the ultra able to read an external hard drive example like 500gb or 1tb hdd via usb otg....i know that it may not support because of power issues but i have read that some older xperia phone able to read it...i have ask store manager that I'm want to buy it for my ultra but he says that it will not support because the power for it to operate is not enough on a phone...we got 3000mah battery, but are lower capacity hdd like 250gb will use less power..? Just need some expert opinion on this, and if some of you able to use it can i know any brand and capacity for it to work...thanks member...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
yes external HDD will work over OTG. I've not done it myself but [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION] has.

It will need to be powered I would think.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Oh you mean standalone hdd wont work....do you think lower capacity will work if using it with paragon ntfs app...?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
This gadget may be a workaround, I have one but don't have an hdd to test with. It is supposed to support up to 1tb.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Out of the subject, does ultra support 128gb sd card...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] NiCk.JaY:
Yes, not officially, though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Do you got one...have any been tested...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Never seen this before, is this some kind of a wireless card reader...work as a sub between phone and a hdd if im right....can it connect with usb cable rather than wireless...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I bought this on an impulse and haven't used it recently. I think it only has one full size usb so you probably couldn't connect the hard drive and the phone at same time, although the card reader may work while wired to phone. It creates its own network or Hotspot so more than one device can see it, it can also be connected to wifi and will pass-through that signal.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
It seems that if hdd doesnt work i need to search alternative storage expansion...using hdd with an adapter is a hassle cause need to carry more stuff...i need to be able to bring it to me all the time...128gb sd card is a little expensive to me now...but maybe later will switch to it...but now i will use this 64gb flash drive dual otg i found...small capacity but easy to use..it will do for now.....

Thanks for all the expert opinion...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Do you already have the hard drive? I was assuming you did, if not there are wireless ones with the function of that Kingston device. Seagate has this one for example, comes in three storage sizes, is rechargeable and creates its own wifi network.

I'm not sure but a ssd may work (as might some of the very low power laptop ones)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Does the Z Ultra have pin out power?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Herrnobiz:
I used a "y" usb cable so one end goes to the usb drive and the other one to a power adapter.

Drive it's not power hungry at all but it's needed the y cable for me.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cu7tur3d:
I would assume it is similar to the sgh-i9505 because that is the international version. Download the app cpu-z and see if your hardware is the same as serannoltexx. If so then flash current twrp via Odin, use cf autoroot to gain for privileges then make a Nandroid and you are now safe to try flashing various s4 roms. Please know I am not an expert, s4 mini is my first android but I've been using it for a few years now.

I know of a few apps that do this for example an app called hide it pro. I hides behind an app called audio manager and in order to get to it you have to do a long press on the title and enter a pass word to open the app. the app doesnt show in your app tray or anything and the audio manager actually can control your volume and everything.

well I was about to take a pic with my girls phone and noticed a random app called magnifier. when you open it it just goes to a crappy camera app with no special features. the app doesnt show in the app drawer nor does it show in google play ass downloaded. I even checked in the app manager and still nothing. anybody know anything about this or heard about this? i even googled it and there is no such app with that same icon picture.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorholic:
I'm a newbie with the rooting and custom rom installation, I've actually never done one before attempting in on my phone a SM-G730A mini S3, I have searched online and was unable to find the factory rom for this device or instructions how to install.

I was able to root my phone using king root, Then I started removing all the factory programs that ill never used. It was great until a few days ago I removed 2 programs that affected my phone operates. It now gets stuck on the at&t screen when powering on, but the funny thing is that if someone calls me, the screen pops up for me to answer.

Issues with my phone: gets stuck on at&t screen, no home screen at all, only way to access apps is through S voice.

I first started looking into the custom rom because I wanted wi-fi calling since the phone signal is low on this phone. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks

I think you should reflash your current firmware version via Odin3. You can get stock ROMs from sammobile.com/firmware. You will lose your root access and you will get these system apps back what you deleted before.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lefl:
those stock roms from sammobile youll need to flash via odin / heimdall
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Firmwares from SamMobile are only flashable via Odin3 on your PC/Laptop. Move your downloaded firmware to your PC/Laptop and unzip it. Move the ...HOME.tar.md5 file to your desktop.

1. Now download Odin3 and install the drivers for your phone.

2. Open Odin3 as Admin to avoid errors or "Fail" messages while flash. (If you use Windows XP then open Odin like always) and make sure only "Auto reboot" and "F.reset" are checked.

4. Close all Samsung Kies process in task manager to avoid errors. (ignore this if you don't have Kies installed)

5. Tap on PDA/AP and choose the ...HOME.tar.md5 file (wait until Odin finish check the MD5 check sum)

6. Now on your phone. Turn off your device. Then hold volume down + home button + power button till you see a "Warning!!" screen and continue with volume up.

7. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop via USB.

8. Wait until Odin detect your device. (You will see a blue box) If your PC/Laptop install the drivers again then wait a moment.

9. If everything is OK then you can start flashing. (A flash process take up to 10 Min, so be patient)

10. Now your phone should reboot and you're done.

Don't forget you will lose ROOT access and you will get your system apps back what you deleted before.

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Newbie Help

I am getting ready to do a first attempt at rooting on a Samsung S3 mini, G730A. I don't know how to get the Samsung USB driver onto the desktop because I'm not sure where it's actually located. I downloaded the Samsung Driver Zip and it's loaded on my C: drive but didn't find anything is there that seemed specific to that phone. I did locate what appears to be the generic Android device USB driver for this phone through Device Manager and put that on the desktop but not sure that is the one that I'll need when I go root. Any suggestions?

My Nexus 5 developed this issue lately where I don't get reception in one city but get it in another one. This happened out of the blue. I tried my sim card in another phone and it works just fine. Also tried flashing latest radio but to no avail. The phone just drops signal when I'm on the highway back home only to return after the weekend when I'm back.

I'm running Paranoid Android and have tried going back to stock and everything else but failed.

Any idea what it might be? Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] forcedv:
I've searched for a solution to this but apart from upgrading the SPV M2000 to WM5 (I don't think I'm up to the task), I can't find a way of streaming stereo audio via bluetooth to my a2dp headset.

My M2000 has the latest firmware from the Orange site and runs on WM2003 second edition.

Any help or advise would be great.

I even installed the O2 bluetooth stack for the HTC Magician in a hope that it would work, but it didn't and now I can't get the program off the M2000 using 'add/remove programs'.

Will this cause any problems if I just leave it on the M2000 or is there a way to remove it ?

So if I follow this:

Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"

[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the

only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)

[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.

Am I right in saying it will change to s-on but it will also get rid of revolutionary at the top of the screen? Can I change that to locked after by using fastboot oem lock?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nemaides:
First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for making this type of thread, but I have done some searching and reading and I am now thoroughly confused.

My phone is the BNG3 version so obviously not towelroot compatible. After figuring out that was the case and it ain't being updated I stumbled upon Odin Pro, but it needs root to use. Seems like a bit of a catch 22.

So how do I root my S5, what is this Knox and why shouldn't I trip it, and what the heck is happening?

Once again, sorry for making this kind of thread, but I am just so confused.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
I'll answer the second part since the other poster already answered the first part.

Tripping knox is just setting a flag in the bootloader to true. Basically it tells Samsung that you did something "unauthorized" with your phone and voided your warranty with them. The thing is, tmobile doesn't care. They will replace/upgrade your phone without even looking. This has been confirmed many times here and other places. (don't hold me accountable...yada yada...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AleHanSolo:
That's not always the case. Before rooting, I called T-Mobile a few times speaking to different representatives each time and asked them to explicitly describe their policy on rooting and Knox, and how it relates their JUMP! program (T-mobile's warranty/insurance and upgrade service) with regards to upgrading and general insurance repair/replacement.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SAID: If the Knox counter is tripped we will know/find out and you will no longer be eligible for upgrading nor replacement in accordance to the JUMP! program. In fact, a couple of them went into further detail that I could be liable for paying the full remaining price plus a fine if I were to attempt to upgrade/replace a Knox tripped phone.

THAT SAID, the employee that I bought the phone nonchalantly remarked when I asked him about rooting the phone with respect to the JUMP! program that T-Mobile would honor the JUMP! program despite root. HOWEVER he said nothing about a Knox tripped phone. Perhaps he equivocated meant that a towelrooted phone may be accepted but a full-fledged Knox tripped phone may not.

TL;DR:

T-Mobile representative/"official" web-sources say Knox tripped phones will not be eligible for the JUMP! program.

ONE employee at a T-Mobile store seemed to be willing to accept a rooted phone with regards to the JUMP! program.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AleHanSolo:
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a troll/unwise, I am being completely serious. I am a cautious guy, and I wanted to know the full potential hazards of rooting with regards to their warranty policy. Of course on a person to person basis it should be easy to find a rep that will let a Knox tripped phone slide. However, in my personal opinion to pay the price of the warranty + full price of the phone + a fine in the unlikely worse case scenario that T-Mobile holds their policy to the letter seems expensive, especially when I know I will more than likely keep the phone for 2yrs+. My conclusion was to not buy their warranty, root, and be happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Just do a deferred trade in then when you jump. You skip one person looking at your phone and the people in the warehouse honestly couldn't care less.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nemaides:
Wow, thanks for the massive amounts of information folks, truly.

A couple question though.

1. If I Install an older version and root using towelroot...

Would I be able to keep my device up to date with the performance updates Samsung releases?

2. These custom recoveries/kernels that would trip Knox? What do they mean and what advantages do they have?

3. If I do end up tripping Knox, can I un-trip it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
I'm not sure on the first one, so I'll let someone else answer.

The reason I chose to use the root method that tripped knox is I knew I was going to flash a custom rom later on. I would really recommend flashing the CM11 rom in the forum. If you wait a few days, most if not all the bugs will be ironed out and it'll be just as stable as stock.

As to what they mean, recoveries are what you use to flash and backup roms (they can be used for more, but this is what most people use) and kernels would just add MUCH more control over the inner workings of the phone (performance, screen calibration, button tweaks, etc).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nemaides:
Last question,

If I root using an old kernel would it be possible to install updates without breaking root? Someway to keep the kernels just get the improvments?
