[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whip Cracker:
Hi everyone,

Just spent the best part of 2 hours wondering how I go about installing some kind of custom recovery on my wife's Note 3 (SN9005) so I can run SlimKat on it.

It's currently running MJ7 firmware.

Question: Can this phone have a custom recovery installed so I can flash a different ROM?

I understand that the bootloader is "locked", but it seems that I can still go on my merry way and install a custom recovery and ROM, but Knox will flag that I've changed it.

Can someone please explain to me my options if that's ok?

Thanks very much :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whip Cracker:
No one? :/

Any info would be great :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptChaos1969:
Install ROM Toolbox Pro from the Google play store. You can get recovery installation within that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whip Cracker:
How do you manage to think that?

Doesn't that just install a ROM? I didn't think it'd somehow install a different Recovery partition or anything. You'd need Root before installing Rom Toolbox Pro first though, so I'd need to find the best/easiest way to gain Root Access on this handset first.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
Bootloader is not locked. Just install CWM/TWRP using Odin, then boot into recovery and flash your ROM.

Knox will be broken, but otherwise you should be fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxilick:
My Knox was broken first day I had the phone. Was a wonderful thing I did. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Narsil007:
I was experiencing the data/cache corruption problems described in this thread. Prior to finding that thread and it's solution (which did solve the problem, BTW), I created another problem by performing a data format via TWRP.

I've since repartitioned with the pit file via Odin. I've flashed Philz recovery via TWRP, flashed the MJ9 base via Odin, flashed SU via Philz, flashed the radio via Philz, and flashed multiple ROM's via Philz (Mean Bean, DN3). I'm still missing something that was wiped via the format as the phone boots through the Samsung logo with the swirly ovals but then just stops at the pulsating Verizon logo.

What files am I missing that need to be flashed and do they need to be flashed via Odin (pda slot?) or via Philz?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can render.

--Narsil
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You should not need to flash anything else except a rom.. there are no "data" files..

How long are you waiting after you see the Verizon screen? After a full factory reset which you did..it can take up to ten mins booting..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Narsil007:
I started the boot as I left for church this morning at 0715. When I returned home at 1130, the red Verizon screen was still pulsating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Narsil007:
I redownloaded everything and reflashed Philz, the firmware, the ROM, the radio, and SU, and it still won't boot.

Any suggestions? It's bizarre. I've never had a device do this where I could flash whatever I wanted and it still wouldn't boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Narsil007:
I did notice something while attempting to wipe/flash a different ROM that may be part of the problem. During the Philz "wipe for a new ROM" process, the following line appears after "formatting sd-ext"

"E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

What does that mean and can that be the problem?

Is there anyway to root my cellphone with the update installed? Recently formatted and re-installed 4.4.2 with RSD because I wanted this update...

And now I can't root :mad:

PD: To the question if I have Bootloader unlocked, the answer is yes, if it helps ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Flash the recovery of your choice then flash the SuperSU zip

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
What IS this post about?

Firmware restore of 4.4.4 (xt-1060) using RSD Lite, but for unlocked boots, the recovery flashed is custom & the logo used is the normal M rather than the warning version. Comes in Philz & Twrp flavors. Upon rebooting, Philz or TWRP will root for you.

User data is retained, not erased.

Note: After this restore you may notice problems because you kept data-just wipe data from recovery & reboot. Keeping data like this is non standard.

The logo used is from here.

First 2 attachments are about 10 MBs. There are 3 modded files to extract: MOD...xml (RSD instructions), recovery & logo to paste into your unzipped/extracted FXZ/XML folder. You may want to rename the stock recovery & logo so they will not be overwritten. Here is the usual fxz Source , which you may have already.

Do not paste the source xml folder contents into mine.

The 2 last attachments are modded full FXZs, 900 MB.

Choose the mod xml from RSD Lite 615. Moto drivers. I removed the getvar & erase userdata. So use of the modded FXZ will leave user data alone. While using the source/original FXZ will erase user data!

Settings/Developer Options: Enable USB debugging to use RSD.

If you want a fresh restore just wipe data from stock or custom recovery before you use get into the bootloader/apfastboot screen

Note: step 2 is ap/fastboot (RSD mode) & step 6 (recovery) is where to wipe data.

Faster Mega server full versions can be downloaded for regular use on locked xt-1060s as each modded Full fxz can be easily put back to normal. Recovery.img.orig 10.5 MB & logo.bin.orig 647 KB just need renaming, as well as the modded ones renamed: recovery.img.mod Philz: 10.4 MB, TWRP: 8.6 MB & logo.bin.mod 877 KB. Then run the original xml (included)(not the one labeled MOD). Again just be aware that whole getvar line must be deleted & erase userdata (whole line) can be deleted.

A better backup
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
Full 444 xml with Philz recovery is up.

It is easily converted back to the normal fxz for locked boot users.

But why? Mega is much faster than the sbf/xml storehouse site.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gobbling_Monkey:
Hello. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. I have had this problem on my phone for a while. The problem is on the Favorite Apps thing when you swipe left on the lock screen, where you have shortcuts to apps. I added one ofe shortcuts to be to Google play music. I later saw that is removed all of the shortcuts that I put there. When I tried to add them back, the apps were not on the list of apps to be able to have a shortcut for. If I add any other app to have a shortcut, it will just remove it from the page, and the list of apps that are able to be added asa shortcut. How can I fix this and add shortcuts to my apps? Thank You.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Already answered in your other thread. Please only post questions once.

Since this is the right place for it, I'll answer again.

Try different cables, USB ports and drivers. One of those often helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michael1855:
sorry thought i deleted the other post i bought a brand new cable from a best buy at thier samsung experiance area. still no luck my computer reconizes it and i can transfer files and photos. but odin and kies wont reconize
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OK, if it transfers data the cable should be fine. A lot are for charging only and people don't realize it.

In my sig is a link to drivers. Try with a few of those. You may need to install, then go to device manager and manually update drivers and browse to the program files folder to find them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michael1855:
downloaded and then it updated when i plugged my phone in. is kies if i switch it to camara usb connect it pops up the message that i need to be in mtm so i have no idea what is going on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] michael1855:
would i be able to flash it from recovery? because i downloaded a copy of the firmware
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I thought you uninstalled kies. If not, do so. It interferes with Odin. Mtm is media transfer mode I believe.

Depending on what you found to flash in recovery....maybe. Can you link to what you're wanting to flash that way?

Hi,

I used to use the HP iPAQ 6515 and I could just copy the mp3 file that I wanted to use as ringtone to the 'windows' folder and the file appeared on the list of the ringtones.

I'm now using this T-Mobile SDA or the HTC Hurricane, and I tried the same thing but it didn't show up on the ringtone list. What should I do to make an mp3 file as my ringtone? Thank you very much!

[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Why don't you share all the details here.
[Droid Ultra General] dschewchenko:
Solution

Before this thread, I have 4.4.4 with broken root after OTA update (without system RW and SuperSU crash)

My way:

-Install RSD and drivers

- do solutions from head from head

- download file from 1 attach

- replace files

- flash it and see on phone error about size of recovery

- reboot

- wipe data and cache

- reboot

- see SuperSU in Menu

- check wp and su with terminal and adb - all OK

- run Root-Explorer, all permissions apply

- can edit and write files in system folders =)
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Do you have a locked or unlocked bootloader?
[Droid Ultra General] dschewchenko:
I have locked verizon moto droid ultra
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
What build did it come with? Please post all info & steps!! Did you use any exploits?
[Droid Ultra General] dschewchenko:
I have Verizon XT1080 with Locked BL, on 4.4.2 was root and WP off, after WiFi updating to 4.4.4 all was broken, and after that I wrote upper I'm now with root and system read/write permission, but safestrap see that WP ON and crashes after tapping somewhere. After updating SuperSU root will be lost.

For system R/W you may go to Terminal and run:

- su

- mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

and than with mount command check if /system have rw. After reboot you may to remount

P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm from Ukraine =)

Very bad that Moto with cutted language pack =(
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
-Install RSD and drivers

???

- download file from 1 attach

Was that the small?

- replace files

This must have been recovery, logo & the mod.XML.

- flash it and see on phone error about size of recovery

Details?

- reboot

- wipe data and cache

- reboot

- see SuperSU in Menu

In app drawer?

- check wp and su with terminal and adb - all OK

- run Root-Explorer, all permissions apply

- can edit and write files in system folders =)

I have no idea how you kept root if RSD succeeded properly.
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
So you flashed the mini version without system, motoboot, boot, gpt & etc.

It is still confusing so for everyone's benefit maybe, in time, your sweet time, you could be more clear about the exact steps.

Thank you.
[Droid Ultra General] dschewchenko:
I don't change xml, from downloaded archive I replace files with source Source (from head of thread) And in RSD check xml file that from archive Philz
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Just to be clear, I intended the attachments to overwrite the source. You overwrote the attachment with the source!! (If I read you right)

Dear developer for the LS ROM,

dear p880 community,

I really like the LS Rom and tried many times to install the new nightlies from [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION], but it's not possible for me to keep the F2FS format at the p880. I use the special TWRP recovery from [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION] and tried some ideas from other users (formating seven times and unmount cache / data).

I saw that the download page isn't available anymore. Is there any new recovery which I can use? Do anyone has an idea how I can install the new LS 3.2 nightlies without using another kernel?

Thanks & Best,

But thanks for your answer!

[LG Optimus 4X HD] HDSteff:
Thanks Rudjgaard for your answer!

I've two questions regarding this:

1. Do you have a link for me?

2. Do I use the ext4 format with cyanodak?

Last time I tryed the IODAK kernel, sure it works but actually I'd like to try the new F2FS format.

Best,

Steff
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Rudjgaard:
Yes, obviously using this method you keep the standard ext4

Tbh i'm one of those who believe there's no advantage in using f2fs outside of a server environment :P

Hey everyone I needed to know how to get soft keys on my rooted xiaomi mi3 running stock rom..... Please suggest some working method
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hapticc:
Use a Root Explorer with superuser permissions to navigate to /system/build.prop

and open the file with a text editor. Add the line

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

at the end of the file. Save and close. Reboot. Done
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dork Knight Rises:
Be aware that editing your build.prop might not allow you to install future MIUI updates.

So take a backup first. After every update, take a backup. Then, before updating again, put the backup in place, set permissions to rw-r--r--

Basically, you'll have to do this every time, so I would suggest using some root app for this. If ur on MIUI 5, you can install WSM Tools...that should have a module that could help...(I've never tried it though...)
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porroro:
If by stock you mean the stock android ROM and not miui you can use Xposed framework and install gravity box module and it will give you the option to use soft keys. Give them both a quick search in this forum :)

Hello! I recently decided to try out a GPE edition rom to replace my stock rooted Sense room. It installed fine, but decided I hated the Google camera app and wanted to go back to Sense.

Every sense rom I've tried so far seems like it installed OK through TWRP, but when I reboot it just dumps back to the Fastboot USB screen instead of starting the phone.

What the heck is going on? The GPE edition I used used that fancy installer (name starts with an A) and mentioned replacing SuperSU with something else. Did it screw up my root? If so, how can I root with no ROM installed?

Fastboot screen is showing Unlocked, and S-Off. HBoot- 3.18, and Radio 1.09.20.0702. TWRP is 2.8.0.1. Firmware installed is from here:
