**** sorry for misleading about theh Android L, it was actually the theme that had the effect even before the update.

I got it OTA and Here is my observations :

-settings scrolling bug has been fixed

-it feels smoother and till now I got no glitches, lag or other stuff

-battery seems good till now and I hope it be like this all time.

In total I'm really liking this update

Thumbs UP!
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
Yeah, I was totally surprised at what I saw. I never had that icons even before I update to .283
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
I donno! But im pretty surprised!. Menu? I just put screenshot of my setting ( About Phone) page. if thats what you mean

I will try do Deodex later.

ps. It is not possible to root .238 with easy root toolkit.

Someone said :

1. Flash kernel only from a 230 FTF.

2. Root with Easy root.

3. Flash back kernel from 283 FTF.

Thanks for posting.

I am glad that the nave bar is not the new L version. I really much prefer the existing look to the new simple shapes.

I can access custom recovery with no issues and I attempted to flash some customer roms but no matter what I do when I boot I get the HTC splash screen and then the recovery icon and cant do anything else. This icon here (http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMAG0008.jpg) this isnt my phone just wanted to show the icon

Any ideas on how I can the phone to live again?

If you can make it to recovery, maybe you ought to search some other methods to restore the phone.

Like maybe go back to stock?..., or ph85img.zip?

I bought my Mi3 on 12th August. It was working perfectly till last week.

I tried to call my friend on skype last week and found that the front cam is not working. It is now showing random black lines on white screen. I tried a lot of camera apps and none of them are working.

Can anybody help me with this? Is this a firmware issue or is there something wrong with the hardware? What should I do to get it fixed?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] _Thanks:
Hello,

Looking for some quick (like most) ROM, and, if you know of any, then MODs (flashable) accelerating the phone, I would sometimes play some games, but constant lag does not facilitate this; /

I have a similar problem with the GPU. Sometimes when something breaks I play graphics, pictures in the game to deform, text, etc..

I know that the fault of poor phone and Processor ARMv6, but you do not have some "medicine" on these issues?

I'm currently using:

- Adrenaline Booster

- Pure Performance

- BroadCom Booster

I have Merruk Kernel and phone overclocked to 1.2 Ghz

I use Stock ROM (Deodex)

We will get NHA kernel and flash that later (building it for you guys now).

Anyone who is rooted on NE9 build with Safestrap (and willing to help us out with a test)

Please try flashing this version of SuperSU.zip in Safestrap recovery and enabling "Survival Mode" on your current build, then taking the OTA and seeing if root survived.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I just tried it and it didn't work. After flashing NHA the phone rebooted and stayed at the Samsung boot screen. Thankfully I was able to Odin back to NE9.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] open1your1eyes0:
Did you take the OTA and were able to get it rooted before flashing NHA kernel back (step 6)? At which step of that method did it pass/fail?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I didn't take the OTA. I Odined back to stock NE9, then to NCG to root and then to NHA. Odin didn't fail but rebooting did. After Odin flashed NHA it rebooted but got stuck at the boot screen. It just sat at the Samsung boot screen, even after another reboot. Than I Odined back to NE9 and all is good again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] open1your1eyes0:
As per the steps on that method you should take the OTA first (the full NHA OTA on stock unrooted), then flash the NCG kernel just your can reroot and flash the NHA kernel kernel back after you have root.

I'm not sure you can run NHA kernel on NE9 build, that may be why you're getting stuck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Ok, seeing that I already flashed the NHA kernel and flashed back to NE9 should mean that NHA isn't incremented?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] open1your1eyes0:
If you're referring to the bootloader update that's included in the OTA, unfortunately without testing we have no way to tell at the moment. Someone needs to just be brave enough to take the OTA for us and see if they can flash back to NE9 after.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] open1your1eyes0:
Okay folks, you all are super lucky today as I decided to be impatient and personally test this out for you guys. Confirming the below method fully works for me.

Make sure you are on stock unrooted

NE9

build (if not flash this

NE9

firmware in ODIN)

NOTE: If you are on a newer firmware just flash the stock firmware for the version you are running instead - if needed

Take the

NHA

(Android 4.4.4) OTA and confirm all is working

NOTE: If you are on a newer firmware just take the OTA for whichever is next version instead until you get to the latest

Flash the

NCG

kernel in ODIN: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567722142

WARNING: After flashing this kernel you may get lots of crashes and hanging but try to push through to next step below little-by-little.

Root using Towelroot: https://towelroot.com/

Install/Open SuperSU and let it update the binary normally

Flash the

NHA

kernel (I provided earlier) in ODIN: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712469066

NOTE: If you are on a newer firmware just flash the kernel for whichever version you are on

Reboot and you should be all set

So since I did reboot . I am wondering this.

I did the dirty update by Odin ne9 to remove root .. accepted the Ota .... then Odin ncg kernel... Root. . Odin nha kernal. But like I said there is no VOLTE switch in more networks area . I will back up. Factory reset and see if that will get it to show.

awesome ya i saw my stepdads phone and saw he had ota thats how i found out about it :D

can downgrade to whatever u want i reuploaded all the tars in recovery tar type with data wipe and pit. if snagged from vzw assistant u get recovery tars if snagged from kies u only get cache wipe tars. debeting if i should upload both or just the recovery ones.

awesome now we just need that ni2 tar lmao

its hard to explain but i will do it in a second and pm u where u can see the difference. its basically 000000001000000001 and if it increments it goes to 000000001000000002 000000001000000003 etc. the first # is a minor number and iirc doesnt affect downgrading but the second number affects downgrading. so far were still at 000000001000000001 make sense?

its towards the end of the aboot right before the signature. ill try and see if i can find actual address in a minute

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Extract aboot from the ota zip then open it with any hexeditor. Use the hexeditor's search function to locate sw_ID1. To the left of sw_ID1 you will see code similar to 0000000100000009. Compare this number 0000000100000009 to that of previous firmware. If the numbers are the same it will allow for a full odin downgrade to the previous firmware.

That NI2 was so fast I was trying to figure out why I did not have the VoLTE Call switch . So I had Odin'd back to NE9 stock .. reset factory data.. let the OTA go and update my system .. thought I was getting NHA again but I got the NI2. Odin'd NCG kernel. rooted.. Odin'd NHA kernel and all worked fine.. So after reading all this here I now just downloaded the NI2 kernel and Odin'd that. I now have the VoLTE Call switch and root, xposed, and Safestrap. All works great. I even set the Wanam hack to show my system as official and got rid of the Custom lock on startup. If I can't have a bootloader unlock.. I am content with what i have .. It all works great.
