Tmobile Note 3 and Wicked Rom

I recently switched from the Chrome Rom to this. I did a factory reset, cache wipe and devilk clearing through clockwork recovery, then installed this rom from the external sd card. Nearly everything is functional. I can text (MMS as well), recieve and make calls, download apps and update (a few "failed" to update but did later). The only limitations ive noticed is the inability to add files from a computer ("the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"), unable to view anything on Tumblr, and I cant download anything to the phone (either fails immediately or cant be opened). I have the 4.4.2 firmware for my Note 3. Can anyone give suggestions or point me the correct information?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] High-Joker:
I have the 4.4.2 firmware on my note 3 and the wicked rom. I was switching from carbon rom and did a wipe of cache, dalvik, and factory reset before installing the wicked rom. I can text, call, and download apps. The issue is I cant see anything on Tumblr and cant download anything onto the phone.

Hey guys just to let you know if you don't by now that Droid-Life is giving away both a Nexus 6 and a Nexus 9 in a giveaway. Just thought I'd share this. I know it's not related to the G3 but I thought I'd let you guys know.:good::good: Also you get 5 extra entries for every person you refer. It's pretty shweet.

For most of us here who've worked with fastboot. We all know how to change CIDs with fastboot. My curiosity rest in this thought. Can you create a fastboot OEM writeCID script, throw it in a 0P6BIMG zip, and change CIDs that way ?

we have a few XDA of different models and they all connect to our server seamlessly except one which just wont!

all settings, few as they are, seem correct, tried many different names & passwords, which work on others, same result.

any ideas?

[AT&T LG G3] kinjo1023:
So last night I was using My Backup Pro to back up my files before I tried flashing the new CM for our phone and noticed that I didn't have busybox installed. I installed it and backed the phone up overnight. In the morning I noticed that my WiFi wouldn't turn on and that I couldn't flash anything. Ran root checker and my root is bad now. Anyone else experience any problems with rootbox? That and backing up my stuff are the only things I've done different lately. My phone is rooted with towelroot and bumped. I really don't feel like unrooting and returning back to stock to start the process over again but IDK how to fix the root. Root checker gives these error messages.....

Don't know much about the code, anyone have any suggestions?
[AT&T LG G3] greg4869:
What does SuperSU or Superuser state when opened? Have you updated the binary or is that even an option?
[AT&T LG G3] kinjo1023:
Everything was up to date when I checked last night and supersu was working fine. I ended up unrooting and reverting back to stock and starting from scratch.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] s1lenz:
Hey guys..

I just got an ad on my note 4 in the pull-down tray that says if I install knox I can be eligible to win a note 4? Only thing is I'm running firekat v4, so there is no knox to be found...

...is anybody else experiencing Samsung advertisements on their devices? Please don't tell me they're going to start using the notification pull-down tray as a platform to start advertising Samsung products..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] SelfElevated2:
Negative man. Has to be a bogus push ad from an app you installed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] southphillysean:
I received it as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ShrekOpher:
My bet is you got some spam on your phone. No way Samsung would push that out the phone comes with Knox installed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nick2k:
Lol... You should stop downloading sketchy apps because they will NEVER push messages like that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] s1lenz:
a third party dodgy app wouldn't make much sense. the ad was way too targeted to be a third party app. it knew i had a note 4 and i didnt have knox installed. what 3rd party ad app would be that specific? Plus I have adblock on the phone since day 1.

I'm 99% sure the ad (or "promo" or whatever) came from samsung. I'm assuming its from their galaxy store. It looked too professional to be a third party ad. The ad was a big, bright image of the note 4 and note edge, and the link took you directly to samsungs website without a referral number at the end.

[MENTION=5264497]ShrekOpher[/MENTION] knox isnt installed by default, the installer apk is baked into touchwiz. Knox creates a virtual partition in your sd card to store secure apps. If you don't want that (like 90% of people) you would be losing space on the sd card for no reason. You have to run knox for it to go through setup.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kchino:
I'm running fire kat too, I'm pretty sure it's due to Samsung push services still being present in this ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ezsoulja:
I got the same... Just don't install it..

Sent using my T-Mobile Note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] poopflinger4u:
im on fkv4 as well. No knox adds though and i stillhave samsung push service installed. I did do debloating on side though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
I got the same ad yesterday but I believe it was pushed by T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
Well i aint running yalls rom, and i didn't receive it lol.

frankly even if it was samsung, it make no sense. why make such an advertisement on a phone the user already have
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YarsRevenge78:
I have received this, a coworker on an S4 has as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] poopflinger4u:
can someone screen capture it it ? im curious
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YarsRevenge78:
It is probably the Samsung app store, I'll try to take a screen shot if it comes up again, then freeze or remove it and see if is the culprit.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
My wife got it too on her s5 she's unrooted
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jdidtht:
I recieved it yesterday, its from samsung push .. debloat that trasha waway
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kkg720:
If you long press on the ad and click on "App Info" it should tell you exactly which app is sending you those notifications. If it's an app you actually use you can just hit disable notifications from there and you won't be bothered any more.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arodhr13:
The app is an app that separates your phone from your work phone of you use your phone from work the app is on the play store
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YarsRevenge78:
The question here is not what Knox is, but where the advertisement for it is coming from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] noheroez:
Just had my phone screen crack completely and totally, making it impossible to see anything but black in the screen. I plan to exchange it for a refurbished version with my insurance plan, but I need to uninstall Safestrap, the custom recovery, the custom ROM and possibly Towelroot.

Will I be able to overwrite the custom recovery using Odin in the download mode? Is there anything I can do without having access to the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Odin the nb1 tar file. See this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56453100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] noheroez:
I don't need to uninstall Safestrap through the app within the OS? Will using Odin and a stock rom remove the need for this?

I read somewhere someone was still getting the Safestrap screen during boot up even after they've removed the custom flash without using the app within the OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Odin will return your device to like it was when it was new
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] noheroez:
I had a partially related question, do you know if the Nexus series has something similar to Odin where I can tinker with the ROM and recovery without using the screen in case something like this happens again with the Nexus 6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Nexus devices have fastboot. Not quite the same as Odin but more versatile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] noheroez:
Sweet, thanks dood, I got the recovery and ROM replaced using Odin, can't tell if the Safestrap screen still shows up or not, I'd say not because I don't have to press anything to proceed into the OS like I would normally.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omg_penguin:
So I have had Cyanogenmod 11 installed on my Z2 almost since I got it... However, I realised the other day that I really miss the USB OTG feature from my old Nexus 5. It was great for being able to backup/restore system images directly to/from a USB drive that I have (Transcend JetFlash 380 32GB if anyone cares...). Anyway, I know this was a feature of the stock ROM as I used it a couple times before I installed CM11. Now I would really like this feature back, since I know the phone is capable of doing it, does anyone have any idea of how to enable it? Thanks in advance :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isley_:
Maybe Stick Mount work
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
Isn't it already included? I know it is in pac as I plug my USB devices in all the time with no issues :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omg_penguin:
Unfortunately not. Stick mount wouldn't find it and it isn't already included... Starting to think it might be a problem with the memory stick. I'll go back to stock and try it to see if that's the case. Thanks anyway!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerodarknight:
I just updated to Lollipop. I tried to run TWRP without flashing (use fastboot boot command) and it run smoothly. However, after I encrypted my phone TWRP cannot decrypt the storage like it could in Kitkat even though I enabled encryption in Kikkat too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Correct.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerodarknight:
So no worry then, I thought it's only my phone lol. Do you happen to know if TWRP or CWM will make it compatible with Lollipop encryption?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Forget CWM, it doesn't even support encryption for KK.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyOnTheWall43:
Anybody know how long it has taken the devs of TWRP to update to the new encryption for previous versions? Just curious about when this will work again.

Thanks for any info,

Fly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It will come when it comes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Forget encryption, It doesn't even support /sdcard for JB!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyOnTheWall43:
Is it just me or are these responses the least productive thing on the internet?

I would understand if I came in here demanding an exact ETA, but I feel like I respectfully asked for estimated past turn around times so that I could have a basic idea (2 weeks/2 months/2 years) of when I'll be able to use TWRP on my phone again.

And I understand that the devs are probably working very hard on getting this done (I see that there is version 2.8.2 for the Nexus 9 that allows decryption on Lollipop, so maybe they're really close), and although I am an entry level programmer, this kind of stuff goes way over my head, I do really appreciate the work that they do.

I am fairly new to the wonderful world of this level of Android customization and I'm just trying to learn how the process works.

Does anybody else have any useful info?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
There isn't anything else to say other than what I did in the post. Check repos and see if there is any progress.

But still.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
As mentioned, we don't know anything. We haven't had any feedback. You have access to the same info we do (TWRP dev thread and github). There is no point asking us the answer. You'd be more upset if no one answered at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyOnTheWall43:
Again, I wasn't asking for when the next version will be released, I understand nobody knows that... I asked for:

Just a rough guess, that's all I'm wondering.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Without knowing the complexities of encryption and the development involved and the fact that past development turn around has nothing to do with the future, we can give only the same answer.

I'd say you can only ask the dev, but since that's against the rules, you'll just have to wait and find out when everyone else does. You have the same information available as we have, including past turn around dates.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vacsed:
New 2.8.2.0 with Android 5 encryption support is available at the TWRP site and confirmed working on my Nexus 5 ;)

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] galets:
I'm trying to get an SSH server running on touchwiz adopting following instructions: https://alainwolf.ch/tech-talk/ssh-cyanogenmod/ . Touchwiz comes without ssh binaries, but I could run the ones copied from CM. The rest of instructions seem to be working as well. However, no matter how hard I try, I cannot figure out where do I inject a startup script. I tried both /data/local/userinit.d/ and /system/etc/init.d . None of locations auto-execute scripts on boot in 4.4. Anyone can help?
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] epiquiem:
Most OEM kernels have startup scripts disabled, in my experience. Try using something like this app (safer) or this (could softbrick your device). You could also flash a custom kernel, as most have init.d support built in.

Hellos,

I'm noob and recently rooted and installed a custom recovery my S4 in attempt to install Cyanogenmod. This was after the last update by At&t and the bootloader doesnt let the recovery (TWRP) boot. This was before I heard that Att added a boot loader. I have tried many methods to return to stock but all have failed because of the bootloader. Any way to remove and return to stock or perhaps unlock the bootloader?

Help...those with the Developer Edition of the Note 4

My Verizon rep is trying to order the DE for me but we cannot find the SKU and this is the only way he can order it if we can get the SKU to see if he can find it.

He asked if I can ask someone here who have the DE to look at your box or the receipt and tell me the SKU for your model. What we looked up was SM-N910VMKEVZW but he did not find it. Can you please tell me what SKU you have?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogrekane313:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
It is a question correct…but I need visibility to only a select few that have the DE model and could be helpful for others…

I used the Walkman music app for a while and that one worked fine (fluke?), but I pay for google music so I went back to it despite the conflict. Here's hoping it's a google music app problem or something that gets fixed with 5.0

I clean-flashed the stock release version of Android L that just came out, and I noticed that my phone doesn't detect the correct amount of storage on the device. This is a 32GB Nexus 5, yet the storage page in Settings only lists 12.55GB of total space (screenshot). Windows (10) also lists only 12.5GB of total space (screenshot). What's wrong here?

So... I have to completely wipe my phone and start from scratch AGAIN?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RVDigital:
Apologies, that quote assumes everyone knows what a Full Wipe is (that's not sarcasm, its a silly assumption). Wipe the data partition in recovery is what is being suggested here. In some recoveries, a full wipe is data and cache.

I will tell you that doing this in TWRP didn't solve the problem. I ultimately just formated via fastboot, as follows.

fastboot format userdata
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaindil:
Is there a way I can back up the contents of userdata then restore them back once the partition is the correct size? I'll go through the process of reinstalling everything again if I have to, but I'd really like to avoid that if at all possible. Can I MTP to it from TWRP?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RVDigital:
Why not do a TWRP Backup of /data then restore it when you're finished?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonjunkie:
I will say I was having the same issue, and I couldn't create a nandroid backup via CWM. Backs up boot image OK. Backs up recovery image OK. Backs up system OK. "Runs out of" storage space when backing up data. GRRR. SD card space free: 0 MB. False!

Wiped data partition in CWM. Started setup again. STILL 16GB.

Formatted using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

(Code: fastboot format userdata)

Rebooted

THAT worked!!! I am just raging that I spent ~8 hours setting up and customizing everything last night, down to the last email account and icon and NOW it's all gone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaindil:
Ah, I thought a nandroid backup was a full partition backup, so doing that would just restore the entire partition with the incorrect size. I took a TWRP backup of data, wiped data, then restored the nandroid backup and all is well. Thank you!
