but if you really want to root without tripping knox you can downgrade your firmware to any rom prior to the June update then root with towel root and now you can upgrade with mobile odin to any later roms while keeping root during the mobile odin flash.

however you can't have any custom recovery without tripping knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevey500:
^^ What he said.

The bootloader is not locked. You can downgrade to any stock firmware and flash whatever stock firmware you want. Anything that NOT stock will trip your knox counter warranty status.

I rooted and flat-out deleted all knox apps in the system folder. I have no idea if that tripped my knox counter, I am figuring my knox counter was tripped because I went ahead and flashed TWRP recovery. Removing the Knox apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app are no big deal.

can i down grade the firmware to the pre-june update? i screwed up and updated and lost my root.

I've got the play store working and have been able to install a majority of what I want but I'm trying to get things to install as what was before the tablet ui. Anyone know of any xposed modules that will get the tablet version of the apks to install. The one I'm trying for is chrome. I want the tabs across the top. I tried tablet metrics xposed module but no 'dice'.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajb999:
Edit: There is an xposed module for achieving this called app settings. Unfortunately it doesn't work with version 2.5.1.

These were both made by backing up the apps on my nexus 7 2013 and both show the tabs on my tablet like you are talking about. As you can see they display differently on the OUYA. You could probably edit the build.prop to get it to display the tabs.

Hello, I feel sorry for your bricked Prophet but here some informations. First of all, there is no need to write in big red letters. This usually annoy people or make them feel offended. You are not more important than others - who have their own problems as well. Writing normally would usually give better chances for a reply.

Here some feedback for your problem :

a) As long as you can get back into the boot loader as long everything is recoverable (hold camera button and reset and keep the camera button pressed until you get into the boot loader with the different colors). As long as this is still there as long you can recover.

b) Get an official ROM from your service provider for your Prophet and flash it back.

c) Only problem you might have is the updated boot loader (2.20).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] hanmin:
big red annoys me.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] RaptorRVL:
You did not try to flash your G3 phone with a G4 rom now did you? (or G4 with G3 rom..)

As Spatzm said: Try to get into bootloader. If that works try updating again with the official qtek 2.20 rom. (here). And READ that topic about how to install and get yourself the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the ftp (see wiki).

Since you tried to update with the 2.20 rom (which is the base of Jesters rom) you cannot downgrade, that's why you need to use the 2.20 official qtek rom (which is suitable for both G3 and G4). You can only downgrade if you have a CID unlocked G3 (if you don't know if it's CID unlocked then it's not :D ) with a G4 device you cannot downgrade to put it down shortly.

I installed a new ROM on my Note 3 and in order to re-pair it with the phone I reset Moto 360 and now I cannot get it paired again. In the Android Wear app it just shows as "Connecting" but I was able to pair it via Bluetooth settings. Now it is just stuck at a " Just a minute" with a circle going around. Before I started the pairing process Moto 360 was at 84% battery, so not sure if it's a battery issue.

With that said, is there any other way to pair the watch other then resetting to stock?

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] solwretep:
I'm amazed there should be a sticky on this!! If you have a rooted z2, then rootdim on playstore let's you lower brightness far below stock. And it's hardware, not an on top layer which just destroys contrast. It makes your z2 dim just like an Amoled screen! Best of all it saves batteries unlike software dimmers!

I use it together with another app called night filter which is actually a software screen filter, I apply a slight reddish tint to save my eyes further.

(side note: The developer has made a remake of rootdim called ScreenDim but it currently doesn't work for me as well as rootdim )

HTH!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] _mysiak_:
Thank you for sharing, I was looking for a way how to make the screen as dim as possible, finally bumped into this thread :) Though I would probably prefer using Xposed module or force system brightness to go as low as rootdim, nevertheless very nice app :)

Gotta try it out. Sometimes i do think the screen is way to bright.

Edit:

Don't really like it.

when you press 25% you can press it 3 times and the screen flickers and changes brightness 3 times.

also depending on which App you open screen may change brightness for no reason.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] newtype_lex:
Hello, as you guys have already figured out, I am new to rooting. In trying to use Odin to flash CWM into the S II, the phone will not boot after logo. Even when attempting to boot into recovery mode the phone just loops back to the logo. I think I messed up big time. Thanks for reading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Your post tells us that you're trying to get a different recovery onto the device; it would be very helpful to know what you flashed.

Recovery on the i777 is packaged with the kernel, so you will gain a custom recovery by flashing an appropriate kernel. I don't think that the recovery can be installed separately on this device.

using desktop Odin to flash anything other than stock firmware will result in tripping the flash counter, and the phone will display the yellow triangle as the initial boot screen. Flashing custom firmware via desktop ODIN does NOT necessarily mean that the device won't boot, which leaves me wondering what you flashed.

What is your goal? It will be easier to direct you once we are properly aware of where you were, and what you are aiming to achieve.

[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I just got the phone today and so far that's the thing I hate most about it. Text on certain web pages looks awful unless you zoom in because it's so sharpened.

Also, I couldn't stand the default launcher so I installed Google Now Launcher. Double-tap to turn off the screen no longer works with the Google Launcher. Any way to rectify that?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I'm not sure about that launcher but if you're rooted and have xposed + G3Tweakbox module you can enable Knock Off on the Nav Bar.

There's also an app called Screen off you can use with Nova gestures or you can use Greenify to have it set up so you Knock off the screen and it Hibernates your apps plus locks it.

Both those options require you to have Nova though. Just an idea. I'd imagine there is a way to do it with your launcher possibly with the xposed module that's been made for it. Maybe if your not rooted look into doing so using Stump Root ( very easy ) and then check out xposed.

- Tapatalked from the G3
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Thanks. I'm not rooted and won't be for a bit. I have two weeks to test the phone out before I can return it to Verizon for a refund if I decide I don't like it. It's hit and miss so far.

Does Greenify require root for it to work with knock off?

I guess I'll have to look into to some other launchers that support the knock off feature. It's annoying pressing that back power button when you have your phone laying on a desk.

I really don't want a bloated launcher though. That's one of the things I love about the Google Now Launcher. It's nice and simple. The only improvements I would like to see be made to it is the ability to have 5 rows of icons instead of 4 and the option to hide apps in the app drawer.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Just a note: I discovered with the help of a user on another site that you can still use knock-off to turn the screen off if you double tap the very top of the screen on the notifications bar regardless of the launcher you are using.

One problem solved.

Now to figure out the terrible sharpening issue that occurs on some web pages.

Stock ROMs (+Xposed) are great, the only problem is RAM management, and that is a real PITA if you like to multitask.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonCrap:
I have a 300mb swapfile and never have I EVER faced ram management issues.I've got more than a hundred apps installed.I multitask most of the time.I play heavy games"MC,Asphalt 8,PSP Emulators and whatnot".I've got a 70mb live wallpaper.A 40-60mb keyboard(swiftkey).A 40mb launcher and a bunch of other sh*t.There's always a gazillion apps running in the background(obvious exaggeration).I am on stock based (ExistenZ 4.0) with a few Xposed modules.The only problem is though that the swapfile causes the risk of the sd card degrading but I've got the sdcard backed up so that's not an issue.To be honest though, this phone is a real sh*t if you want it to work right out of the box.God knows how long it took me to get it to be usable but now that I have, I'v never been more happy.Seriously guys, try using swap(at your own risk ofc).It'll do you wonders.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
Indeed, I never tried with swap.

The swapfile is maybe not much used, so maybe SD card wear is not an issue.

There are still some nice options on custom ROMs that I haven't found in any app or Xposed module, like the ability in App Ops to set inidvidual permissions as "always ask" instead of just enabled or disabled. But I could do without it of course.

I might give it a try.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonCrap:
I'm pretty sure that you can enable things such as app ops/auto starts etc by some Xposed modules although I'm not sure.But what I know for sure is that you can also you can get the "options" you mentioned in most stock based roms.Even the Rom that I am using atm (ExistenZ 4.0) has those options.I've attached a (yet another) screenshot.

CHECK IT BOHY!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
App Ops is one thing (and is available on all ROMs indeed), but "always ask" permission is another thing.

On my ROM (stock rooted by dipesh), I have only "enabled" or "disabled" options for individual permissions, not "always ask".
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonCrap:
Oh I get it.That must get pretty frustrating huh?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
It can be, it just depends. You can also remeber your last choice so that you're note bothered again.

But it's quite handy to find out when some services (Google Play for instance) will use certain permissions (like location).

Anyway, as I said I can do without.

I searched a bit on swap, but it requires init.d scripting, right ? I believe that's not possible on stock, so I would need to flash a new stock based ROM with more functionalities, ExistenZ for instance.

I'll think about it.
