[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spleef:
Hey guys in the many years I've been into android I've never owned a Samsung and never owned a note. ...so here's my question. ...

I'm used to having to unlock the bootloader to do any custom rom flashing....I've been scouring these note 4 threads (all variants) and can't seem to find anything pertaining to unlocking the bootloader...so I'm wondering if anyone could drop a few lines or a link to help me understand the process of rooting/unlocking bootloader/recovery/flashing for the note 4....my apologies if this has already been covered or if is a dumb question but I'd like to have all the info i can before doing any modding to my phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LMMT:
Assuming you have the Sprint variant, and the drivers, for your computer, download the latest version of Odin, the latest TWRP, and Chainfire's SuperSu zip. Place the SuperSu zip on you phone's storage (either internal, or external micro sd). Place the TWRP tar file, in the "PDA" or "AP" slot (depends on version of Odin), uncheck auto reboot. Power phone off, and boot into download mode (hold volume down, and the physical home button, and press the power button. You should get a warning about custom operating systems- press volume up. Connect phone to computer, if everything is set up correctly, you should see a "com" number appear near the upper left of the Odin program. Uncheck "auto reboot", press start- process should go very quickly. Once it completes, hold the volume up, and the home button. Without releasing, the other buttons, press and hold the power button, until the phone reboots. If the phone doesn't reboot, and you're certain TWRP flashed, without errors. Pull the battery. Again hold volume up, and home, and press power. As the phone powers on, you should see the recovery booting text, at which point, you can release the buttons. Flash Chainfire's SuperSu zip, in TWRP, if you want root.

tldr: Odin TWRP, flash SuperSu in TWRP

[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
I'm not new to Android, just an FYI. Got an HTC One m8 to replace my HTC one m7. When attempting to resync all my data I noticed that my contacts tab under my gmail settings hadn't been synced in several months where everything else had synced in the last day. My new m8 only has the contacts from before that sync while nearly a hundred new ones thay have been added since then didnt show up on my new phone. Every time i try and sync it says 'sync is experiencing errors and will be up shortly' or something along those lines. It obviously will not be up shortly.

Ive attempted to google it several times and some people recommended a contact fix up which didn't work for me. The google support number is no help at all and neither is their support forums. Anyone have a clue on how to sync my contacts with my gmail successfully?

I'm having a bit of trouble CID Unlocking my US T-Mobile branded Wizard.

Rom: T-Mobile 2.26.10.2 WWE

Radio: 02.25.11

SPL: 2.26

IPL: 2.26

ExtROM: 2.26.10.105

I'm attempting to follow the "Stickied" guide posted by faria (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263116

), the same as posted by Dr. Puttingham (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435). I get stuck trying to downgrade to Button's 1.05 ROM. I've tried several times with no success.

Each time, the progress bar will progress to 98% on the PC and the Wizard. Then the PC will move to 99% leaving the Wizard at 98%. Then the PC will move to 100%, and then eventually close the ROM updater application without displaying the final success message. The handheld stays at 98% until, after a few hours, the battery dies.

My goal is to install Faria's AKU3.3 ROM. It is my understanding that a CID Unlock is required to make that happen. Even so, I attempted to install it without first downgrading. The ROM installation seemed successful, however, when the device rebooted the same ROM seemed to be installed, only this time without the Extended ROM.

Any advice or alternate methods you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to try a different PC to flash it too in case it's a software malfunction in Windows.

man, first you gotta to downgrade the rom 2.26 from T-mobile to CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

after that you can CID unlock it.

I can't wipe data or anything all of a sudden inside TWRP 2.8.

I have no SD card in the device and was just using the onboard memory and I noticed that spotify would no longer load because it was looking for an external SD card which I have never had.

I did a fix permissions and that did not work. I then did a system wipe in TWRP and then now I am stuck at the samsung logo with being unable to mount data or storage anymore.

Any advice would be amazing.4
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Darth_Munkee:
I just ran in to a similar situation yesterday. TWRP 2.8 kept saying that it couldn't mount /data and /cache. It also showed their sizes as 0 MB. I ended up doing a factory reset about 5 times before I got both partitions back.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] 7ravler:
I have the same situation with unable to mount /data and unable to mount storage. Did Factory Reset several times. Still no luck. Im getting 0 MB on internal storage and data. Any suggestions?

SOLVED...I odined TWRP2.8.1 onto my Note then did WIPE/then FORMAT DATA.Got all my partitions back. Now to flash the OS back on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Darth_Munkee:
I think at one point I re-pushed TWRP to my tab through Odin, so that may have been step one of the fix. At any rate thanks Odin's Beard for Odin.
[Nexus 5 General] GunninZombiesdown:
In the past year that I've had this phone, I haven't seen this discussed hardly at all and I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue with their phones. So far it hasn't been dropped (yeah, this is the only one I've had and I haven't dropped it), so there's no physical damage at all. For the last few months I noticed there was a crack next to the Sim card tray (going from the Sim card tray to the back), which has been a common topic, but then it cracked going from the screen to the Sim card tray. Today I noticed its cracked from the screen to the headphones.

So I'm wondering:

1) if the cracking is going to stop

2) how many people are seeing more than just the Sim card to back of the phone crack

3) culprit to what's causing this

4) would you RMA it since it functions perfectly (no dead pixels, no light leaks, speakers are loud enough, etc)

Little more info- it's the black model, #310.

My guess is either expansion and contraction from heat or somehow the phone is possibly bending to such a degree in my pocket that it's causing the frame to buckle and snap (doubtful).
[Nexus 5 General] oopsallberrys:
Just wanted to say that I never dropped my phone either and I have the cracks by the SIM card, no cracks by the volume keys, but I do have a crack going towards the screen from the headphone jack (which I've never used).

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP

This is a modified kernel for Android 5.0 that allows root to work.

This kernel alone will not grant root access.

Flash this in custom recovery to obtain root: http://download.chainfire.eu/591/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.17.zip

The kernel boot.img can be flashed using fastboot.

Credit goes to Chainfire. After seeing this post: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP ,

I took it upon myself to decompile, edit, then recompile the stock manta LPX13D kernel since he had only done so for the Nexus5/7.

Link: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/ZzXaU1W7Uzm

Keep in mind this kernel allows root to work, but most apps that require root will need to be updated in order to fully work on Android 5.0.

Chainfire explains this in greater detail in the first G+ post i linked.

Damn, titanium backup is a no go.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] esteras:
great! works perfect, thanks a lot
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
TiBu Works on 5.0!!!

Link: Experimental Version of TiBu that works on Andriod 5.0
[Nexus 10 Android Development] newellj79:
Thanks I'll give it a shot.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] anoneemooz:
What has your experience been with this so far? Does it delete system apps too? Thanks for the link!
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
So far I've only restored a previous backup of flappybird from tibu on 5.0, I'm restoring a twrp backup of kitkat now so i can run a new backup in tibu, then restore lollipop, then test all the things!
[Nexus 10 Android Development] newellj79:
It force closes when trying to sync with my Google cloud backup.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
So far I've found that the experimental version of TiBu fails to uninstall system apps claiming "Cannot remove system app, failed to locate the apk file."

But... It does restore backups (app + data)
[Nexus 10 Android Development] anoneemooz:
Aw man. That's all I really want right now. I'm about to give rooting this a shot now. Hopefully to try out some ad removing stuff like adaway! Thanks for the updates on TiBu!
[Nexus 10 Android Development] anoneemooz:
I can't seem to get this to work. I flashed the boot.img via fastboot using "fastboot erase boot" followed by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then I reboot into recovery to flash the superuser zip in this thread..and I still get the same error with SuperSU about missing stuff and all root apps I've tried say I'm not rooted. I'm using the latest TWRP. Anything I'm missing?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
Off topic: if you only need root to restore TiBu backup - create update zip from your backup, then flash the update zip in recovery. No root needed.

On topic: since you followed Chainfires' method, this won't set the whole system to permissive, right?

edit: I believe not, if TiBu is not working with this boot image. TiBu has not adopted to the new 5.0 SELinux environment yet.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] mabs123:
Thanks for this kernel. İs there anybody tried this kernel ? I havent got much experience about android.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] corumuk:
Thanks, this gave me root. Just need to wait for the various apps to be updated in due course. First one I tried, rashr, gained root access but said device not supported.

as an aside, anyone looking to block ads with or without root you can always flash this from recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098

Keep up to date with the latest versions of TiBu. Check out their Twitter feed.

https://mobile.twitter.com/TitaniumBackup/status/524487475738443776

The first test version I linked was older. I haven't had a chance to test this one yet.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
Flashed the modified boot image & flashed SuperSu 2.17

SuperSU app won't let me update the binaries - so no root. SuperSU 2.16 doesn't work for me either.

Where to look? Can't find flashable SU binaries either.

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
If you flashed the boot.img and the SuperSU zip, root access should work.

The SuperSU zip includes the SuperSu app and the su binaries. It won't let you update the binaries because 2.16 is the latest stable release.

To test root:

Download and open Terminal Emulator > type "su" > you should get a SuperSU promt > grant access to Terminal Emulator.

The $ should now be a # , this confirms you are using the shell as root user.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] corumuk:
Latest tibu test version working ok here for backup and restore :good:
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
No # for me... not even the prompt (duh..)

I flashed the boot.img and the SuperSU zip. I just don't have root.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
What build of Lollipop are you running?

I flashed the images from this post :http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56505625&postcount=99

Edit: that build is android-5.0.0_r2 (LRX21M)
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
Yea me too.

I'm also not getting notifications (however apps do sync) so something's probably wonky here on my side.

When you flashed those images, were all your settings from 4.4 & apps still there? I thought that was weird. I didn't flash userdata though.

Did you flash all files and how did you flash them? I think I got it wrong there somehow (I followed [MENTION=4955229]stiggy2012[/MENTION]'s instructions).
[Nexus 10 Android Development] anoneemooz:
Yup this is the exact one I'm using and like Ti2 I can't get root
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
I did this:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img "the modified one"
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

I omitted erasing and flashing recovery (to keep TWRP)

Then I rebooted into recovery and wiped data, then flashed gapps and SuperSU zip

I wanted to start from a clean slate.

Maybe something in your data partition is conflicting with settings in 5.0 and causing problems.

Try and wipe your data then retest.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
I think so too. I will try and start over. Thanks!

Which Gapps did you use?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] phrix626:
I used the gapps linked from this post: [ROM] [Lollipop 5.0] Stock AOSP
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
I will try and report back, probably to confirm it was me and nothing else [emoji4]
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Langduscher:
Well... clean flashed. Totally.

At least notifications are working now... but...

Still no root. SuperSU just can't update the binaries. aaaaaarrggghh.

May be a clue: SuperSU app doesn't install when flashing the zip. I have to manually install it from Play Store.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

SuperSu 2.16 stable doesn't work, nor do beta 2.16, 2.17 & 2.19

Installing binaries "normal" doesn't work, nor does "install from twrp".

It's doing my head in by now :cowboy:

I'm using [MENTION=2601134]kejar31[/MENTION] 5.0 flashable build. Flashed this boot.img and then supersu 2.19 beta, just like that, didn't wipe a thing. Already installed busybox and changed dpi so it's definitely working :D

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

TWRP can find backups - but Windows can't (duhh), neither can Root Explorer.

Is that a clue somehow?

Tomorrow I'll reflash images incl userdata. That way I'll lose everything but at least I'll start cleaner than clean.

What about the ramdisk & ram disks recovery images? Anyone?

*uck me. This is costing me too much time.

edit: I also can't enter /data/apps like it doesn't exist.

Why not just use adfree.apk?

Followed the link and was met with a verbal barrage in capital multicoloured fat letters, which had me reach for the kill switch...

I've been using adfree from bigtincan.com on my Nexus 7 Lollipop w/o any problems .

I've tried the experimental version of Titanium, but not anything 'close to the metal' as that is most likely to fail.

It's restored all the big games quite properly e.g. like Minecraft including all the worlds my daughter built (important!)

TiBu didn't at first, but after a reboot it does.

Hi there. As the title says I think I got in some serious trouble. Ok so today I got the brilliant idea to try to upgrade my software from android 2.2(froyo) to 4.4(kitkat). But since I missed some warnings from the guide I deleted my 2.2 software (from bootloader) and then I while I tried to install the 4.4 kitkat along with CM well it didnt booted anymore(it appeared only SAMSUNG screen along with website). And to add to my stupidity I tried to install CWM from the bootloader and now I cant even acces the bootloader. Did my phone became unusable? Can I do something about it?I hope u understood me and sorry if I posted in wrong forum.

Hi Guys :)

So I tried to port a MIUI V5 4.4.2 ROM to my device and after rebooting after flashing it everytime, I get an unresponisve black screen but device is detected by adb so I can easily boot into recovery. Recovery.log is perfectly clear though no problems during flashing. But this logcat goes way overy my head. Can you guys please help me :( Don't ignore this thread as I have trying the port since a month and litreally tried all guides, videos, tut's, google etc but didn't end up on a satisfactory guide. No guide could solve the problme. Asked many porting devs still no answer. So lets begin with basic info.

I have XOLO HIVE 8x-1000 MT6592 with 2 GB Ram ( rest specs can be found here - XOLO 8x-1000 Specifications ) and the rom I am trying to port is ELephone P9 ported ROM, MIUI V5 for Elephone P9 which is really same as my device except NFC and CPU clocking as it's 1.7 Ghz and mine is 1.4 Ghz, here specs forELEPHONE P9.

So I assume you must have looked specs of both devices which prove that they are identical in most aspects and I also hope you took a proper look at the ROM I am trying to port as I provided the link. So I asked every person I could from a noob to a dev who can help me but no answer and even no guide on how to port MIUI KK V5 for MTK devices. My logcat is in first post. Please do have a look and reply to it.

EDIT : I am using Windows 7 Ultimate as OS and WinRAR to port and Notepad++ set in UNIX mode to edit all my stuff like updater-script etc and also added logcat.txt if you want to have a look later at offline mode. Please help me. :'(
