Moto G vs Galaxy S5

179.99$ vs 525.83$

This comparison doesn't make any sense.:silly:

Here is the problem with the video: Sukesh Banik, the guy who made the video, should have used "factory reset" on both phones before making this video. On the Moto G the Dialer and Messaging loaded faster because there were no number or messages. Even the gallery on Moto G was empty.

He should "Factory Reset" both phones and do a proper comparison video.

This is not the proper way to compare devices.

Well I have come to the moto g from a Nexus 5 32gb, the Nexus broke and I didn't want to spend that sort of money again, liked the idea of dual sim which I now use one sim for T mobile £20 for 6 months internet and a Giffgaff sim for calls and texts, works great and the signal strength is much better than the Nexus, also has better battery life plus on normal use there's very little difference between the two phones bar the very odd stutter here and there on the moto g, but given the price difference and cpu / rom etc the moto is a very capable device.

Hi guys I need help on S-OFFing my M8

I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone and am now on ViperOneM8 and I need to try the Harman Kardon Mod but S-On method is not working for me so I need to S-OFF

I tried firewater method and it says

" The first bottle is open

chugging..........

remember the golden rule, NEVER take an OTA? Of course you don't

****** device patched by HTC, you are out of luck ******** "

So firewater method is now gone ( I guess )

Please follow all the steps or you'll have bricked device

Step 1 :

This is the easiest way to enable USB debugging.

Dial *#0808#

Select last option, DM+Modem+ADB

YOUR PHONE MUST ASK FOR USB DEBUGGING AUTHORIZATION ! YOU MUST CHECK ALWAYS ALLOW FROM THIS COMPUTER AND THEN PRESS OK. IF YOU DO NOT GET THIS DO NOT PROCEED

Step 2:

Reboot phone into download mode

Select PDA slot in odin

And flash the tar file root kernel (you'll need to extract contents of rar file and rename file to boot.tar)

Your device will not have display but it will still be working, run saferoot.

Step 3:

Use saferoot thanks to k1mu, Surge1223, download is at the end of the post linked below

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48392009&postcount=1

After phone reboots for first time remove USB and enter download mode.

Step 4:

Select PDA slot in odin

And flash the tar file restore display kernel (you'll need to extract contents of rar file and rename file to boot.tar)

Step 5:

Install Supersu from market and open it. Continue with saferoot, that is waiting for the phone.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
Nice work.

Looks like we're flashing 4.2.2's kernel, rooting, then flashing 4.4.2's kernel again.

I guess this also means there is the potential to downgrade back to 4.2.2 completely with mobile odin now...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
Did you guys have any trouble getting SuperSU to update the su binary?

SU works, just prompts me to update the binary and fails.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djdevin:
You can downgrade to 4.2.2, just flash the stock bootloader first, then it will let you flash the ROM. I had to do it because I bricked at the 4.4.2 upgrade.

Trying this root now!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
I have not been able to find the JB bootloader. It's out there? The ROMs on Sammobile don't include it... I had previously bricked trying to downgrade due to the locked KK bootloader.

Sorry, I misspoke. I don't know if it was the bootloader or something else. Check this out: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55251936&postcount=18

Also, root works!

Someone want to explain how those two files could be flashed via ODIN?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
They are stock kernel images. I've never had issues flashing stock kernels or recoveries with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djdevin:
stock images from the sm-g730a? or another device?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
From the SM-G730A.

"Root kernel" is simply the 4.2.2 stock kernel, which worked with Saferoot previously, and still does.

"Restore display kernel" is the stock 4.4.2 kernel you started with, you're just reflashing it after rooting.

I extracted boot.img from each ROM (4.2.2 and 4.4.2), created my own tar.md5 files and was able to root successfully also. I'm not sure why the ones in this post don't work with the md5 extension. It's a great idea.

FIX for "Installation Failed when Updating Binary on SuperSU"

It seems that the SuperSU version (2.01) that is currently (13/10/2014) on the Play Store is outdated. You need to do the following:

1) Download v 2.13 of Chainfire's SuperSU from his Google+ page (I cannot post the link here as I am a new user)

2) Extract the .zip file and find 'Superuser.apk'

3) Transfer 'Superuser.apk' to SD card of your phone

4) Open 'Superuser.apk' from your phone and install/update

5) After the installation/update is complete, open SuperSU and update binary (normal method)

EDIT: If anyone is willing to guide me through these steps in PM i'd be more than happy to comply

EDIT 2: After extracting contents from Root Kernel.rar file, do I rename the file 'root_boot.tar.md5' to boot.tar?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] quakeaz:
Yes.

This part is extremely important. Make sure you get this prompt from your phone before you begin. You may need to run adb from the terminal first (you need the Android SDK) to get it to prompt you.

Just goto C:\android\sdk\platform-tools\ (for example) in command line and type 'adb devices' with your phone connected and USB Debugging enabled and the prompt will show. It should look like this... check the always allow box.

Select PDA slot in odin???

Nothing in odin ever says PDA. It says press volume up to continue, down to cancel and reboot. Pressing up makes it stick at the screen "downloading..." forever until you remove the battery.

And flash the tar file root kernel (you'll need to extract contents of rar file and rename file to boot.tar)????

How? And where do you put this boot.tar file?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] sveris:
Chris,

It's frustrating for us new guys who don't have the knowledge and expertise the others do. Half the time, the thread wanders so much that I don't even know if the suggested steps apply to the SM-G730A or for the other S3 Mini models. most of the devlopment appears to have been done for the international models rather than ours. Plus, many developers have long since moved on to other more recent model phones. I guess we will just have to settle for what we get. Heck, I still don't know if it's possible to downgrade the OS from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 without creating a brick!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] MasiGuru:
I used Roms downloaded from SamMobile.com. The 4.2.2 would not transfer to my phone no matter what I tried. Seems the g730A is locked down pretty tight and that is the issue all of us are fighting. The 4.4.2 Rom, however, installs just fine.

To others, not Chris:

Stop telling me to "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS" I AM FOLLOWING THE ******* INSTRUCTIONS AND THEY DO NOT WORK FOR MY PHONE!!! I am a software engineer and am very anal retentive when it comes to following instructions. I know that one missed step, no matter how small, might brick my phone.

I agree that the instructions presented at the start of this thread are basically useless as a training tool. As a set of crib notes for a very experienced "rooter", they are very easy to follow. It took about a month before I was able to root a different phone. I had to wade through so many posts before I collected the correct information.

If you take a look at most of the rooting instructions found on other web sites and on YouTube, they are mostly "download the Rom, put your phone into download mode, download the rom, reboot and you are done". The links for the referenced ROM download are 99.9% expired or you have to jump through so many hoops and load up so much maleware on your system before you can actually download the Rom. SamMobile requires only registration. Sure the free download speed is very, very, very slow, but you will eventually get your ROM.

I have used the instructions found on this web site very helpful for rooting all my other phones. I have found that it is either going to work or not. If you are the type that can go deeper than simply transferring a ROM and rebooting your phone, chances are you are not going to be reading threads like this one and already know how to do whatever you need.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] sveris:
Very well written. So, one more question. Can a phone with 4.4.2 be successfully rooted or must one begin with 4.2.2? If it's the latter, then a lot of us are out of luck.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] MasiGuru:
From my experience and from what I have been able to read on way too many forums, if your 4.x build is after a certain date you will most likely not be able to root. All successful roots have been done on 4.2.2 dated before June(?). Mine was 4.4.2 dated after the "magic date". Too many other users in other forums report the same results.

On the bright side I was able to reset two GT-I8190 phones back to bone stock "official" status before I returned them to the vendor. I was able to reset the binary download counter and the statusesss. Neither phone supported 4G LTE. The GT-I8190 is such an easy phone to root and modify. Too bad for our SM-G730A.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] sveris:
I agree. Once you update to 4.4.2, I think you're done. I bought an SM-G730A on Ebay but the Seller shipped me a GT-i8190. I returned it immediately. FYI, I switched to 4g/LTE service yesterday on the H2O WIreless network. If you don't use a lot of data, it's a real bargain at US $27.00 per month and no contract required. It's an AT&T subsidiary, so your SM-G730A will work on it without being unlocked. I'm going to try to find a nice SM-G730A running 4.2.2 to see if I can root it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] MasiGuru:
T-Mobile is running two killer deals right now. 2 lines, unlimited talk, text and high speed 4g LTE data for $100/month. For families you get 4 lines, unlimited talk, text and data with 10gb of 4g LTE data to share for the same $100. I remember back in the day with Verizon I had 4 lines at $60 for the first, $40 each for the remaining three with no data plan. Smart phones were just starting to come out. Verizon is still far and away the most expensive carrier in the US. I added unlimited calling to Canada for my line (business). I was able to finally dump my land line. T-Mobile does not have any contracts.

I also would like to find a 4.2.2 SM-G730A just to play with. I never do any of these mods on my actual phone. I practice on extra phones first. This way I am not in a panic when (REPEATE: WHEN) I soft brick the phone by doing something I should have known better not to do. So far so good on recovering soft bricked phones.
