[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dauninge:
I was only able to postpone it by doing a factory reset. No big deal as I do not have much stuff on the phone yet. It was going to do the update whether I wanted it or not, as I had postponed it a maximum of 3 times.

It's party the principle of the matter. I should not be forced to install a new version, but also I like this version fine, and AT&T has admitted problems with KitKat and the S4 (or maybe it was the S5?), and I don't want to run into any issues on mine. I own the phone outright, so I should be able to do what I want with it.

I still have 11 days to take it back to Best Buy and return it for full refund, so I guess I could let it update, and if I don't like it, I can return it, get another that has 4.1.1 on it, and root it.

I'll head over to general right now and do the free sim unlock.

Once again, thanks for your reply and insight Doc!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dauninge:
Evidently the update had already downloaded when I had the phone on wi-fi when I first got it. The install postponements were only allowed 3 times once the update was downloaded.

After I did the factory reset, I made sure I had wi-fi turned off.

Now, the check for updates button is the active one, whereas before, the continue update was highlited/active, and the check for updates was greyed out. This was because the update had already downloaded. Factory resetting got rid of it.

According to AT&T, the update can only be done when on wi-fi, so as long as I have my wi-fi turned off, it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't use wi-fi much at all, just my data plan.

This at least gives me some time to figure out a way to disable the updater, or root the phone, or go with the update. I may at some point want to use wi-fi, so I'll need to decide what to do.

Thanks again Doc!

I am using 4.4 and do not have any problems..... My battery life has been signicantly better on KK then JB and my ram sits at around 500mb.....this is my own opinion but I suggest to update after you do the free unlock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dauninge:
I will probably do that. I haven't unlocked the phone yet, as I guess I need another sim, non AT&T, to do the unlock?

Thanks for the info on the KK. I appreciate it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Actually, no you don't need another sim! That's only if you unlock with a code.

There are unlock threads in all the forums, including this one. But I knew right where this one was so....

Hello.

I am a noob and currently running jcsullins cm11 6.25 data media build and it is great, but would like to update to his newest 9.13 data media release. My question is can i just dirty flash this new rom in my philz touch cwm, or should i use cwm to do a clean install by format/wipe system data and caches? I have also read some recommend to use acme unistaller2 and then use tptoolbox to install the new rom. That seems excessive, as i was under the impression that you can flash new roms through the cwm recovery. Thanks for helping out a rookie.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Flash ROM using whatever recovery you have installed. After flash, clear caches, and boot. FWIW, dirty flashing is just flashing the ROM without clearing the caches and generally not recommended.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tahawk69:
Thanks for the help. I found the clean rom install option in the cwm recovery and i used that and flashed the new 9.13 jcsullins cm11. So far so good. Do i need to clear cache and dalvik now or is that taken care of in the clean rom install option? Thanks again. Gotta love what you guys have done for the tp.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
It should have, and the option you used is the one I would have suggested as it avoids any possible problems.If you do have any hiccups you can still clear cashes, davlik is under advanced options.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saidiadude:
I used the TP Toolbox and did a complete wipe. Did not cache or dalvik as it was wiped during a clean install.

Not that I think the above is really that surprising, but I bought a 8gig SDHC card for my camera (which IS SDHC compliant) and tried the card in the Prophet and it did not work/read/attempt to format etc... it did NOTHING with it...

So for those wondering/searching NO -- it doesn't work :-(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] qwazix:
sdhc in registry

surprisingly though there is a key in the registry under drivers named sdhc. Maybe it means something else.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] theone3:
Oh good. One less thing to spend my money on :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joe_dude:
The "sdhc" in Windows Mobile stands for "SDIO Host Controller". So, nope, it's not SDHC we want. :p
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] kimcng:
SDHC is in the registry

HKLM->Drivers->BuiltIn->SDHC

I would believe that if the SDHC.dll is updated to SD 2.0, our device would be working with the 8GB SDHC card.

Has M$ updated that driver yet?

[Treo 680 works with 8GB SDHC. When that driver (Palm OS) is copied to Treo 700p, that makes the device work with 8GB too.]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joe_dude:
There might be two hurdles sdhc.dll (MS) and omap850_sdhc.dll (HTC/TI). So even if MS updates WM to support SDHC cards, I think the hardware driver must be updated too. :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] aleksandr:
8 gb-> four 2 gb?

How about formating the card in the PC and splitting into four 2 gb partitions? Try that, may be that would work. You can also try few different media cards software to create the right partitions. just google it for the software.

Hope it works for you.

Best Regards,
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] g3k:
Partitioning would probably not remedy SDHC issue

It's possible to partition a SDHC card into 2GBx4 or 4GBx2 but it would not change anything because the CSD (card specific data) is different on SDHC cards and the device should be able to interpret it before recognizing the partitions.

The prohet is incompatible with SDHC it can not read its CSD. The CSD is outside user accessible area and this is the device driver that reads it to understand what is the capacity, manufacturer ID and serial number of the card.

I suggest to never buy SDHC cards for prophet and use standard 4GB Transcend or Ridata cards.

Do not buy any 4GB SD card of brands not registered to sdcard.org and avoid fake Sandisk's as well.

Why 2 partitions? I have the Transcend 4gb SD. I formatted it on my PC using XP to one large 4gb drive and it works flawlessly. You might want to copy the data off of it and reformat it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lukesed:
I used to get LTE around here with this phone. Since about a month ago, things have gotten weird. If I use LTE/cdma/evdo mode or global, it just goes to 3G and never connects to LTE. If I go to LTE/gsm/wcdma, it gets LTE but no voice or text (which makes sense because Verizon isn't GSM). The LTE performance also seems really bad in this mode. It seems as though 3G is somehow prioritized above LTE, so if both are allowed it defaults to 3G. Manually switching APN's doesn't help. If I select "LTE - Verizon Internet" it doesn't connect to data and then after about 30 seconds goes to "EHRPC - Verizon Internet " and connects to 3G. Similar results on multiple different ROMs and radios.

I'm wondering if the SIM card could somehow be to blame. If I go to the Verizon store, will they give me a free SIM despite having CM on my phone? Don't care about warranty, phone is over a year old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] luke24:
Are you on a custom or stock Rom? Is there a "Global" setting under networks? That's what my s4 uses. I don't think it could be your SIM cause if it was you wouldn't have any signal at all, not just 4g.

I apologize if this has been covered, but i cannot find another situation like mine.

I have the verizon variant of the Galaxy s5

Currently on version 4.4.2

I rooted using towelroot on 4.4.2 i believe.

The verizon update came through and i completely forgot about root.

I tried to install, and it failed, then i lost root access.

Currently sitting here without root access, running towel root v3 won't work nor will changing the modstrings.

Root checker says no root,

But verizon OTA update won't work either. Get the error at the android open belly screen.

I need some help, i used to be awesome working with motorola phones, and root/unroot/restore/custom roms.

Samsung is a different story.

I need to get on the android 4.4.4 update (without tripping knox) because my bluetooth connectivity is dog ****.

Thanks for the help.

Solution,

Plug the phone into a windows laptop (may work on mac too) update the drivers. Auto play should pop up and VZW upgrade assistant will be an option. Click on this, it's pretty much automated from this point. You will not be rooted, even though a part of my problem was i wasn't rooted, but the update was failing. So thanks to HGFireHazard. He's the man.

If you have any questions i will try to answer them.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
Having the same issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a factory reset and that didn't solve the issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
I was able to get updated to NI2. If you plug in the phone to a computer (Windows in my case), you can run the VZW Updater that Windows asks if you want to run when you first plug in the phone. From there it pretty much takes care of everything. Although obviously I'm now unrooted and will have to find a way to get that back.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarinu10:
Ni2? What is that.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
NI2 is the newest build from Verizon but it's the 4.4.4 you're looking for.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarinu10:
Ok. Thanks didn't realize it was called ni2. It does it all through the updater though on the desktop?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
Those are just the last 3 digits of it. That's basically how those on the forum have been distinguishing between updates is by the last 3. Yup it did everything. Once I installed the app and told it to update it did everything start to finish without any additional input from me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarinu10:
How did you install the upgrade assistant. Verizon website says auto play should pop up. But it's not popping for me. USB debugging is enabled. Did you manually download it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1 by chance? If so, when you plug it in you should get a pop up in the upper right hand corner that will allow you to run it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarinu10:
No. Windows 7. It goes into installer mode to update drivers and then goes into media mode.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HGFireHazard:
There should be a popup that comes up when you first plug in the device. If there isn't, that's a setting you must have changed in Windows that you will have to modify. I originally tried to find an executable to run myself as it took me a minute to find the location to run it on Windows 8.1 but I wasn't able to locate. Unless someone else can chime in you'll have to get that popup to show.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarinu10:
Just flipped over to my girlfriends windows 8.1 laptop. seems to be installing just fine.

Thanks for all of the help i will report back if this works.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelazypeanut:
So I wanted to do the full encryption on my device. Let the device charge, and started the encryption process. The screen went blank, and then a green figure of the android came on the screen and has been there since. Its been almost three hours now? If my phone loses all its data thats ok, but I dont know if a bad encryption could brick the device?

Not sure if this is significant, but I have been on Facebook messenger since my phone was encrypting, and several msgs and text msgs have been showing on the screen?

Any ideas or advice would be great.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alebcay:
The encryption process may take quite a long time; it's not uncommon to see some phones take 6+ hours to encrypt, depending on the internal storage capacity.

AFAIK, Android will encrypt all of the internal storage, even the empty space. So if you have the 64GB version, that's a lot of storage space to encrypt at one go.

I would leave the phone plugged in and running the encryption for at least 24 hours if it's taking a while. It shouldn't take that long, and something might be broken, but better safe than sorry, I suppose.

Interrupting encryption will probably, if not definitely, result in data corruption or loss on the device. Depending on how far along the encryption was, you may end up with a bricked device, but it's pretty much impossible to say for certain what the outcome will be if you interrupt it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnphantom:
There's a bug in CM11S 33R that broke full device encryption.

Normally, soon as you set a PIN and click encrypt, you will see a green bot, then you phone should restart into the Encryption Progress 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. screen.

As it is right now on CM11S, which is the stock software that the OnePlus One come in, you will see the green bot screen but the damn tying won't restart. OnePlus confirmed this is a bug that should be fixed in next OTA update.

In the mean time, if you unlock your bootloader, encryption will start. Or flash CM11 nightly.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmart:
Someone could boot a stolen phone to boatloader, access the partitions (data, internal sd, etc) by adb and copy the contents of your device to an alternate location. One could also flash a custom recovery and create backups and push them over to a pc.

It also seems possible for some devices to unlock the bootloader without wiping data. So there are some unlocked doors, if device is not encrypted.

You can compare it to a WindowsPC -> Just boot from USB-Stick / CD and mount the Harddisk and you can access all of its contents, if device encryption isn't used.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
Your should see a percentage indicator when it's encrypting. My 64gb took around an hour or so to finish
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Signor Rossi:

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Signor Rossi:
Lower performance, less battery life, harder to troubleshoot if it does not boot correctly.

Make sure to have off-site backups when starting the encryption

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
As an addendum, on a fast device like our OPO, the performance penalty is negligible. The security benefits far outweigh the costs, as pin locks are easy to defeat and even without, data can be accessed from bootloader/recovery. Remote wipes are not always reliable and for others like me who keep sensitive emails, company info, SSH/GPG keys, it's peace of mind.

It's also rumored that Android 5 will bring by-default encryption.

Strange, you say pin locks are easy to defeat, but isn't this the default for unlocking your encrypted phone?

I changed my decrypt password to 16+ characters, and screen unlock remains at 4 digits. That way inconvenience is minimized.

There is an app on Play Store to set separate screen unlock / decryption passwords.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amg83:
Do you know if that app will work with TimePIN? I rather like the app, though it's currently removed from play store while developer works on ART issues, because it changes the screen unlock to the current time which enhances the security of the device. I've thought about doing full device encryption previously but that always made me hesitate with the amount of hassle to check it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
I dont know what TimePIN is, but it should be fine. Changing the decryption password doesn't affect the lockscreen pin/password, they are independent.

Now that I'm back on my computer, I can drop some links here.

Cryptfs password changer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nick.cryptfs.passwdmanager

This changes the pre-boot decryption password ONLY, not your lockscreen password. It's good for people who want a very secure encryption password, but without the hassle of typing it in each time they unlock the device (by default, Android will use the same for both, which has been a long-debated point).

Manually:

If you want to do it manually, you can configure Android's vold module (https://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config.html)

At prompt (with root):

vdc cryptfs enablecrypt inplace <password>

Security:

I can't find the link, but there was a Github script I ran across that was able to extract the encrypted filesystem header from an Android device in recovery mode, to an attached computer and brute force it. For a 4 digit PIN (which is what many people use), it takes less than a minute on an average home PC.

Hopefully that helps somebody ...
