[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Vyza:
Applicable for Note 4 Developer Edition?

I stumbled upon this thread after researching several hundred pages of material regarding my Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition. I REALLY hope that this technique will also work for me.

I've already backed up my aboot.mbn and been successful in updating to 5.1.1 using a "safe" version by [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] that updated everything minus the aboot and bootloader. But, I'd like to update to the most current stock version (6.0.1) without losing my unlocked bootloader.

I was so excited on finding this technique that I researched and installed Linux Mint MATE Edition on an old unused laptop. Since I'm unfamiliar with Linux, I wanted to verify that I could extract a stock tar using Engrampa, remove the aboot.mbn, repackage the remaining files, and recalculate the MD5.

So, I'm now ready to flash my "update" via Odin, but have the following questions:

1. Will this technique work on the Verizon Note 4 (SM-N910V) Developer Edition?

2. Am I correct to assume that my bootloader will be incremented, but remain unlocked?

3. Does an incremented bootloader prevent me from downgrading using this same technique?

Please pardon my long post and I greatly thank you in advance.

ok first of all I've been searching SO long for this, I WANT to flash a rom but don't know which one will work! I cant find Any straight forward answer like if my phone isn't even capable of flashing!

NOTHING! its ready to go ok, IVE ALREADY rooted it, cwm backed up, have SU, have Rom manager

Its a T989,GB 2.3.6,UVLDH,2.6.35.11-1209942

Please if anyone knows what i need to do HELP ME!

What rom do i need to jump on that'll work to eventually flash to kit kat or anything better than GINGERBREAD!?

Come on guys, desperately in need to flash

Thanks in advance and very much appreciate what ya'll do for us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
First... It would be best to start over. Flash stock 4.1.2 stock firmware with Odin.

Then flash the latest recovery and ROOT. Then you should be fine to flash custom roms.

?

I have no links for you, cause most threads here have dead links for 4.1.2. Best to google it. sammobile. Com should have it.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

And Odin 3.04 or 3.07 are probably best. Make sure any kies processes are killed or Odin will fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] malimt:
Definitely agree with "Darth" here.

First update your device to 4.1.2

Then root and CWM/TWRP Recovery and then you'll be good.

If you want a smooth and fast rom for you t989 then go for Cyanogenmod 11 that's kitkat

Hey guys, I'm new to the LG community after coming from HTC. I got my phone used and it already had the 11c update on it. I'm trying to get into download mode to downgrade using the KDZ method, but when its off and i plug the phone in via usb while holding volume up, i see the LG splash and then it goes to a screen that shows my battery percentage. Am I missing something?

I have bricked my SGY.Before I had hyperion 9 with hellfusion kernel.few questions are

1.How to save my mobile from bricked stage to normal

1A.I have hyperion with me now so after clearing data,system,cache.can I flash thesame rom again.only for few days I will keep H9

2.I want to change to cm11

2A.someone said I should be stock kernel.is that true?.if it is true then how to get stock kernel again

2B.what are cm11 flashing instructions.

2C.what is RC.

3.if internal memory is increased by some other method.say,sameuls method.will it break updates

4.my default cmw is that I flash from H9 thread.is it okay to flash cm11 or should I do anything to flash cm11
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
1- make a nandroid backup in cwm - you can restore it if your phone doesn't start & you can still get into recovery

If you don't have a nandroid backup or can't get into recovery flash stock rom via odin

1a- yes remember to mount all partitions as well before flashing

2- read instructions on cm11 thread

3- Flash hells fusion kernel zip - There is an option there to flash stock kernel or you could just flash the entire stock firmware via odin

2b - read the cm11 rom thread

2c - stands for release candidate - considered stable & is a milestone release but won't have the latest nightly bug fixes

3- if talking about on cm11 than yes - you must use method as per cm11 instructions on thread

4- you need cwm6 please actually read the instructions on the rom thread!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] –NigthFury–:
all are answered.thanks to you.but one is left out.

I said that I already have cmw from h9 thread.is it enough to flash cmw or should I cmw on cm11 again in my cmw
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
I did answer that

You need to use cwm6 to flash cm11 (stock roms like hyperion use cwm5)

The kernel you need to flash containing cwm6 is on the rom thread

Again please read the instructions on the cm11 thread - all these questions would of been answered if you read it and followed the instructions

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
Hi guys!

few days ago I got this new update (3.32.771.3) on my device but as I'm running TWRP I couldn't just update it so I found my stock recovery and tried running the update but it failed at around 30-35% with a red triangle.

I tried doing a factory reset and of course that didn't work either. Tried installing Viper ROM without luck. Everything seems so damn complicated, to run this you need this and that and to install that you need something else.

I'm so lost and frustrated, what do I do?

The device is S-OFF.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
do u have a backup of your rom before u tried to update?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
I have a backup but it's not very old, I made it like a month ago. After all these things didn't work I recovered to that backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
After recovering the backup, maybe try a factory reset with the stock recovery and proceed on with the OTA

You are super CID. Just update your firmware to the newest. The firmware you're using now is 4.4.3 based.

It's super simple. Go here to find out how.

Then load a 4.4.4 custom or stock ROM.

Easy peasy
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that didn't work.

I used this firmware and it seemed ok but now the device keeps rebooting and I have no signal.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Are you on Verizon? Because that is Verizon firmware.

You are super CID, so I would suggest non carrier specific firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
No, I have a Swedish carrier, my original CID was h3g__G04 but I could not find anything of use for that CID.

Do You have a suggestion on which firmware I should use?

I also forgot to mention that when I ran that firmware from the previous post I change its MID to mine.

this is how the device looks now:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You are super cid, so it doesn't matter UNLESS you pick firmware that is carrier specific.

I'm going to help you out here.

Download this with your phone.

Rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)

Put renamed firmware.zip on your external_SD

Boot into hboot and let it update its firmware.

No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed firmware file to external_sd

After you have updated your firmware, make sure to remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your firmware everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once (unless you are planning on flashing firmware again).

Profit!

All credit for this goes to [MENTION=4542027]skulldreamz[/MENTION].

I copied and pasted from his thread, because I didn't feel like typing it all out. ;)

EDIT: And a huge edit buddy!

I just noticed your hboot is 3.19

You already have the newest firmware. LOf*ckingL!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
Thanks a lot! :D

I have a signal now and everything seems ok.

I'm on Android v. 4.4.3 (2.22.771.5) do you have any link to a guide or something how I can install 4.4.4 OTA or maybe Viper?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Are you sure?

Compare post #1 with post #9.

Go to fastboot (power + vol. down), and post what it says there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogward:
fastboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yep. You've got the new firmware. Have fun with the 4.4.4 ROMs!

And yes, Viper is an excellent choice.

Hi,

I have a problem with my HBH DS970. After installing Jetware 1.20 trial version, the Caller ID function worked, but on the second or third call the screen went blank.

All functions still work including the backlite (those audio beeps come in handy now ).

Is there anybody who knows a way to reset this? Or is it a hardware failure? Resetting the headphone to its defaults didn't do the trick.

[T-Mobile LG G3] dictionary:
The reason people are telling you you can't compare, other than outright respect for the Dev, is that no two circumstances are the same. Applications, processors, solder, climate, age of battery, perception of lag/fragmention, reception, etc. Tons of things go into this. If you and I both sat next to each other, and did clean flashes, no gapps, both of our devices would behave differently with identical use. What is butter smooth for me, may be a janky mess for another. My SD card has worked with every last AOSP build out so far that I've tried. Many others report it's still broken. The best advice is to flash and test on your own device, under your own conditions, and let that guide you.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. Search brought up no answers for me.

l have a note 10.1 2014 WIFI only. l haven't rooted it yet though I am familiar with rooting from other devices.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jbarr3:
I'm running Hyperdrive Rom with Nova launcher and all functionality with the spen is working fine. You might not like touchwiz on the stock Rom but on this Rom it flies.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Pazzu510:
This clarified lets answer the question; because this gimmicks\features are on TouchWiz and not on the SPen, if you take Touch-wiz out of the equation you will lose those functions but not necessarily the precise pen and the side button detection(which rely on the drivers been implemented correctly on the ROM and not on touchwiz itself).

Rooting the device doesn't affect which system you are running, only what privilege you have in it; so, Still TouchWiz=Gimmicks exist.

Now, if there are things you don't like about TouchWiz there are many ROMs based on it that try to fix many problems inherent to the system and thus you would still have TouchWiz features. On the other hand, if you want to install something like CyanogenMod, AOPK or OmniRom, you will trade Touchwiz gimmicks for those implemented on the ROM you chose(Different Rom, different gimmicks).

I would tell you to investigate which are the gimmicks you want before jumping ROMs. Read the post of every rom you would like to install before doing so.

Personally I couldn't care less for multiwindow or doubletap note gestures if the system stutters randomly and its dumbed down Samsung-style. Even with the great things guys here have achieved with Touchwiz framework(You are really doing great things guys :highfive:) i still feel like i am in an eternal battle using and controlling it; trying not to launch something i really didn't intended to, or praying for the system to do what i want when I want it to; it is not worth it for me. Touchwiz makes me feel awe but never lets me feel at home and comfortable with the environment. I prefer to install CM and feel the tablet like a nexus device with a nice Wacom pen than a colorfull collage of Touchwiz features. Again, this is my personal opinion.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SPen functioning(READ DISCLAIMER) is almost ready for the new cm ROMs for the wifi version. At this moment there are various cm bases ROMs with the SPen functioning only on landscape mode so if you use the SPen thoroughly for notes, drawings and stuff I recommend waiting a little bit more before making the jump, if you decided to go that way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Dark_Az_:
Greetings everyone, if possible I'd like to add one more question to this scenario.

I understand from the above that we lose the features from Touchwizz like the floating menu, however what about the general S-Pen functionality, like the 1024 levels of sensitivity?

In particular, I'd like to know if installing CM11 and Sketchbook and use it as efficiently as in a stock environment.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Pazzu510:
It depends. If the ROM you want to install has the drivers and are correctly implemented(As in no Bugs), NO, you wont loose core functionality of the pen; Pen detection on the screen with its sensitivity, pen button detection, pen eraser and hover(and any combinations of those 4) are all driver based so they should all work on a ROM that implemented them.

As long as the not-touchwiz-based rom says that the pen works it means that those core functionality are indeed working, and if they dont, it is a bug.

The other aspect would be an outdated driver but i am sure the devs get what we already had on touchwiz and only port it or something, so i don't think we should worry about it.

Other aspect is that some apps like papyrus give you the option to use the pen's button as tool changer, item selector, and other stuff that could not be used on touchwiz because those gestures were taken by the system to open apps or action memo; so in a way, using CM gives you even better experience for 3rd party apps.

TL; DR If SPen drivers are in place you would have the same quality than on touchwiz for SPen Wacom core functionalities.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zubietaroberto:
Yesterday i woke up to find my tablet unresponsive. Tried force-restarting it, but it never answered. "It's probably the battery, " I told myself, as I plugged it in to the wall and went to sleep.

This morning I tried booting it up again. It doesn't respond, doesn't beep, doesn't ilumminate and doesn't answer. It is not the battery, because I have it plugged to the original adapter, and the orange light is turned on. It is not the screen, because the tablet vibrates when booting, and not even the BIOS splash appears. At this point I came to conclusion that there is something very wrong with the hardware itself.

I don't like that it died peacefully in it sleep. The exterior is inmmaculate, I have cleaned it constantly, treated it well, and never dropped it to the ground. I cared for it beyond what it's laggy NAND deserved. For me it was like the stereotyped three-legged dog: crippled but loyal to the end.

Now I believe that cheap NAND ASUS soldered into it finally gave up. Or probably it just looked at me with envy, being constantly tempted by that Nexus 9 I see constantly on the internet, and it's weak NAND couldn't handle the betrayal.

So, is there any way to diagnose if my tablet finally wen to the big server farm in the sky? Is there any way to know what's wrong? Does anyone know what to do with the keyboard and cables other than trashing them? At the very least I want to know for certain if it is dead, so I can arrange a proper burial for it, with military honors and 21 canon shots... or more likely just dumping it into the recycling bin.

PS: If it's dead I believe I will replace it with a Nexus 9, but I am waiting for AnandTech's review. Is it the correct choice or does anyone know a better 10" tablet?
