[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSGio:
this is the second time i purchased this phone (i9500) , first one didn't have KNOX but unfortunately it fell into a clumsy,painful death - (WATER)

so now i have a couple of questions:

the new one i purchased does have KNOX warranty flasg in download mode

1. i wanted to know if i can use towelroot for i9500? cause if not ill use kingo root

2.if i understand correctly, rooting with one of the above methods doesn't trip knox; but flashing a custom recovery WILL trip it! WHY?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Hi,

Towelroot won't work for your device. Only for i9505.

When you flash custom roms you have to flash a non original recovery and this will trip the Knox flag. There is still a method to install custom roms without tripping Knox but only for i9505 as well. Sorry^^

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvi0:
Have a Samsung galaxy note 4, but really want to try out lollipop after all the good things av been hearing about it. I never really use any features like the spen and the other gimmicks like finger print sensor etc. Now the note 4 has 3gb of ram as opposed to 2gb of ram on nexus 5 and obviously a much faster processor running at 2.7. I am more interested in performance over battery life so just wondering how the 2 devices compare in terms of performance as that's the main issue of comparison for me.?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomancoolboy:

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mhuhn:
What exactly is slower than you expected? Does it start up very slowly? Is it slow while it is running? How does it perform in the emulator? Have you built in release configuration or debug?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] karencollett:
well it is slow starting initially but this isnt really a problem. It runs incredibly slowly and moving between forms and pressing buttons take a while to have an effect on what is running.

On the emaulater - and on other devices (i have previously been using XDA2i and Eten G500+) this has not been an issue at all.

Im currently running the release version, although i had tried the debug previously, and can see no noticeable difference between the speed of the two.

[Sony Smartwatch] hckrjhn:
Hi, I just got my Sony Smartwatch 3 yesterday and today I was planning on taking it for a run without my phone. But once I disconnect it from my phone the Endomondo app on the watch just waits for a GPS signal.

Do I need to turn on the GPS on my watch manually? If so, how?
[Sony Smartwatch] legend921:
You need to download Google's My Tracks app and it will sync to your phone. Once you do just go down to my tracks and select run, and once it locks you'll see that location icon in the top left corner of watch showing that it has GPS lock. Then all you do is run. Have fun!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
I notice some newer custom 4.4.2 Note 3 ROMS have the Note 4 S-Pen features, like Smart Select. Is there any way of getting this working on a current 4.4.2 ROM? I'm happy with my current stock rom which is rooted and has an S5 theme applied via Xposed. Also, my Knox is at 0x0 and I would like to keep it that way so installing another ROM with Note 4 features doesn't appeal that much unless it involves Mobile Odin Pro to keep my Knox intact.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a service APK replacement in /system/app or /system/priv-app?

Cheers if anyone has an answer for this,
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lKinder_Bueno:
You can't. Samsung didn't want to release 4.4.4 on our phone, and note 4 apk work only on 4.4.4 (I have tried) . So we must wait lollipop for note 4 functions, and we will have also the same UI.

More than likely. But I don't want to trip my knox flag, and there is no way to avoid doing that if I were to install a non-official 4.4.4 port. I'd much prefer just to modify the rom I currently run to include the new S-Pen features, and if there are other 4.4.2 roms that have these features, it must be possible to do.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ion.corbu:
Hi.

Since I have got the phone I have noticed this bug and lately it became constant. When someone calls me, the first second is very low then the sound becomes normal. The same with the texts and other notifications. The first thing to come in mind is the "ascending volume" option.. disabled that and no luck. Sometimes I notice that even when I type, the sound is randomly low and high (or maybe I have just became paranoid...).

I have searched the web and seems like many people have this problem but there is no fix. Some of them uses the app "Disable Increasing Ring" or "Smart Ring Control" and they are happy with that. But in my case it didn't work. Don't know if it is because of incompatibility with the 1+1 or with the CM11S.

If anyone else had this problem please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

My device is OnePlus Onewith CM version 11.0-XNPH38R. Not rooted (will root if the fix requires it :D)

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ryanbg:
Hi guys,

In this thread, I will teach the Developer Edition owners how to make a tar file to update your device, and prevent your bootloader from being locked.

Requirements:

-Linux (It's possible on Windows with Cygwin, but I won't cover that here.) (Also possible on OS X but you need the GNU version of tar, you can get it with brew)

-Firmware tar

The most important step we will take in precaution is backing up your precious Developer Edition aboot. If your device accidentally gets locked, and you have this file, you can re-unlock your device.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/aboot.bak

Move aboot.bak somewhere safe and hang on to it!

1. Extract the tar file using a file archiver like Engrampa or Archiver

You will have NON-HLOS.bin, modem.bin, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, tz.mbn, boot.img, recovery.img, cache.img.ext4, system.img.ext4, and possibly a .pit file or a couple other files, but the latter listed are the important ones.

2. Open a terminal and change your directory to where you extracted your tar

cd /home/ryan/Downloads/firmware/

This is just an example

3. DELETE aboot.mbn

rm aboot.mbn

Or just right click and delete

4. Tar the files

tar -H ustar -c NON-HLOS.bin modem.bin sbl1.mbn sdi.mbn rpm.mbn tz.mbn boot.img recovery.img cache.img.ext4 system.img.ext4 > update.tar

You should now have a file called update.tar and it should roughly be the size of all the images combined.

5. Calculate MD5 for your update.tar

md5sum -t update.tar >> update.tar

6. Change the file name of update.tar to update.tar.md5 to reflect our new MD5

mv update.tar update.tar.md5

7. Flash your freshly baked update.tar.md5 in ODIN!

I will be making improvements to this tutorial and possibly adding a Windows tutorial with cygwin. Questions or comments, post and I shall answer!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] timeToy:
I confirm this works with the latest 4.4.4 NI2 and the stock Kernel will boot!

Here is a ODIN flashable file:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608429

This will flash boot.img, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn and tz.mbn.

This will NOT flash, the bootloaded and the recovery

Downgrade

B"H

So, using your methodology, can I take a Verizon developer edition phone (4.4.4 or 4.4.2), take a stock Consumer edition 4.4.2 version ROM, Tar it up, and flash to my developer edition?

This would be something important as I have software that needs 4.4.2 version, but can only find new Verizon S5 that are on 4.4.4.

Would this method also flash the 4.4.2 modem as well as kernel?

Thank you,

Dovid
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] timeToy:
Yes, you should be able to downgrade to 4.4.2, including modem and kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ryanbg:
As long as you don't touch aboot on a Dev Edition (always delete aboot.mbn from any tar you make), the answer is YES! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ryanbg:
It's rather easy to do. Just download an Ubuntu live cd image and burn it to a USB drive. Boot up, access your hard drive, extract tar to a folder, delete aboot.mbn, and then follow the instructions verbatim on my tutorial. It's a great learning experience, and figuring out how to do it is half the fun.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] HTC-8690:
Two questions: First, where in ODIN do I flash the TAR? Second, do I flash the firmware first, or the ROM? Thanks in advance!

My bad, I renamed the file after I processed the md5.

I will re upload a valid version. In the meantime you can remove the .md5 at the end of the file name and flash it like this. It will not verify the md5 and proceed though.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Zooandbio4me:
Why do you delete the aboot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] thuddome:
If you don't you will lock your bootloader. You can avoid this by backing it up with the beginning of this thread. Also remember that the aboot is specific to each device so you have to have your own. Back it up, actually just backup all partitions for safe keeping.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] joshw0000:
First off, thanks for the tip on backing up my bootloader! I used Terminal Emulator to pull the backup.

Could I use Terminal Emulator to repackage the firmware? I.e. download the firmware on your phone (or Windows PC), extract, delete the aboot (and maybe recovery), and use Terminal Emulator on your phone to repackage it.

I do have a jump drive with Ubuntu but I rarely use it. So rarely, that I end up spending a ton of time tinkering with Bios to get it to boot into it. It would be quicker for me to carefully type the command in on my phone since it is Linux based.

Not that anyone here would be brave (or dumb) enough to overwrite their $600 bootloader, but if so, how would we restore the backup?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bink1r:
Does anyone have a copy of the flashable zip for backing up the partitions and aboot? the link is dead.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] _msl_:
I understand that to execute the dd command you have to do it in the phone itself through terminal emulator or something like this , right? when I do it I get the message "Permission denied". What am I missing?

Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] landshark68:
Based upon your posts in other threads, you cannot use this guide. The guide in this thread is for the developer edition of the Verizon Galaxy S5, which could only be bought through Samsung I believe. From what I can tell from your other posts, you most likely have the retail version. The retail version has a locked bootloader, the developer edition does not. That is why this operation can be performed on the developer edition and not the retail version. If you bought your phone privately and not from Verizon, it would have been clearly identified as a developer edition by the seller. If it was not identified as a developer edition by the seller you definitely have the retail version. And like I said, you cannot use this guide. That's why the title of this thread is clearly identified for the developer edition only.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] _msl_:
I had no idea about this developer and not developer edition. Thanks a lot for the info, it makes sense now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ryanbg:
I'd love to explain. This is for backing up a Developer Edition bootloader. This bootloader is unique to your device, so it's beneficial to keep a copy. The most important thing I can emphasize is NEVER take OTAs or update to a newer version. Use this command instead:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.bak bs=512

If you are getting "Permission Denied" it means that you are not running the command as root. People only need to flash this if they accidentally lock their bootloader, but it only works if you have flashed the same version, but the locked - retail version of the bootloader. This will re-unlock it. If your bootloader is unlocked, all you need to do is run that command, and keep a copy of the aboot.bak file on your computer. Basically, just make a backup, and keep it handy. There's no need to flash it or anything else. I'd also be happy to make a flashable copy if you PM me with your backup file that we made with that command. If you have any other questions - please feel free to ask.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] magic_man185:
I know that aboot is the dev bootloader, so what is the boot.img file that is in the tar? I was thinking that was the update for the bootloader version, and aboot was just the signature, but I looked at an update file that said there was no bootloader included, and it still has the boot.img file. Also, can anyone explain what the rpm.mbn, sdi.mbn, sdl1.mbn, and tz.mbn are for? I can't find anywhere that explains the purpose of each file. Thanks.
