They can still push the update out past December. Might even be obligatory. But Samsung is no stranger to procrastination. It would not surprise me if we got an update in February. Because that's how they roll.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontpannic:
That's it then. We're now officially the last GPE device to be updated...

Come on Samsung, you've had quite a while to get this sorted.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariuxReloaded:
Exactly: the Moto G GPE has been updated today, and now the S4 GPE is the last one...

Luckily, this will be the last official update for this device, because in this way we'll be finally free from Samsung and its delays...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariuxReloaded:
Hi guys, I've written again to Samsung Mobile USA on Facebook for further information about the update for the S4 GPE. This is the link to the discussion. As you can see, someone answered me, but then they've deleted their answer

https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMob...al_comments=7&ref=notif&notif_t=share_comment

EDIT:

Question completely deleted by Samsung Mobile USA staff, maybe because it was receiving too much Likes by angry users. Congratulations to Samsung for its censorship policy!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilequest:
What did they answer you? I guess something meaningless.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariuxReloaded:
Exactly, they only said to ask to Google and that they understand our frustration...

We said that only Samsung can start the rollout, after receiving Google approval. They were in a corner, because I showed them, with the link from the Samsung Open Source Center (http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9505G) that their theory about "the carriers which decide when the rollout will start" was completely senseless, since it's Samsung that provides the firmware, and if carriers don't receive the firmware, they can't start anything.

Many people liked my post and other ones commented, until Samsung Mobile USA staff, like the Inquisiton, has deleted the discussion...

It works (mostly) on the 9505g. You just have to flash the alucard kernel after flashing the rom, even in the new 12/9 update. There are fixes in the Q/A thread for the bluetooth issue. The only major issue I'm having is that I can't make phone calls, but I'm not sure whether or not that impacts all GEs.

Since this is a common occurrence with Samsung owners, NO. If you have i9505, it will not work. If you have an i9505g, it will work. You will need to wait for someone to cook up a ROM for your phone. Partitions are different. Don't try to flash as it will soft brick, I would expect at the very minimum.

I've got the OTA, but didn't upgrade yet. Does OTA upgrade unroot the phone? Did anyone tried? Does anyone know if it is possible to root the unlocked GPE after upgrading to Lollipop via OTA?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
The OTA will fail if you install it on a rooted device. You must be FULLY stock to install the OTA. Once the OTA is installed, there are numerous methods to install root since it's unlocked.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
I've upgraded while rooted just fine, just lost root, and re-rerooted with Chainfire's auto root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
On THIS update specifically?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
Yes, I just did it yesterday night, I had to revert couple files I've changed to prevent file integrity check failures during upgrade, but did not unroot the phone, it upgraded fine, and Chainfire's Autoroot for S4 GPE worked with Lollipop, even though it was built for 4.4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
I got an error on some file in system/bin/ddex or something. I had to unroot completely before it'd allow me to install. At that point I decided to make us a fully unrooted ODIN image for base 5.0 so we can always have a clean place to start from. It was a nightmare getting it to install for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
Same thing happened to me actually. In that folder (system/bin/) there is a file named ddexe_real, which is the original file, if you rename that to ddexe, upgrade works fine. I don't know what changes ddexe, might be the original rooting process. Having said that, no matter what you lose root when upgrading to Lollipop so you have to re-root it anyway. I didn't want to wipe the system due to having waaaaay too many apps and setting etc., so I tried a few times with reverting back to the original files (ddexe, hack for SD card access, few audio/ringtone files that I've changed to mute the camera click sounds, etc.) and finally it did upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
Oh I didn't wipe my data. :) I flashed the 4.4.4 ODIN image I had created, fully unrooted it, and ran the OTA. SuperSU has to be what modified that file, which is fine. Rooting is hella easy on an unlocked device, so, I wasn't concerned. And having an unmodified system partition in an ODIN package will make the next upgrade go much easier. When you flash the ODIN images I create, it keeps your data so you can use the one for 5.0 to revert to full stock, take the update, and root with the method of your choice. For the Nexus 6 we have no choice since they're hashing the system partition itself, not files within it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forevergone:
I have 2 files... ddexe_real and ddexe. Which should I remove?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuriHL:
Replace ddexe with ddexe_real.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The111:
Thanks for that, I was able to do the same thing. In addition to the ddexe one, my /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml was modified somehow. No idea by what process, but thankfully it saved the original as .bak. I compared and the modded one just had an added line about some media_rw filesystem. I replaced with the backup and after that OTA went smoothly. :)

If only I'd known this before I reverted my N7 to stock in order to get the update to succeed there. ;) Fortunately I do a lot less with my tablet so it will be easy to get it back to the way I had it before.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
That media_rw change in platform.xml is (was) for the sd card write access fix for KitKat, and you don't need that any more in Lollipop.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highvista:
I successfully upgraded my I9505G from 4.4.4 to 5.0.0 by sideloading the OTA package. The procedure I followed was

Booted to Download mode and used Heimdall to restore the stock 4.4.4 recovery image

Booted into Android and used SuperSU to unroot

Booted to recovery and sideloaded the 5.0.0 OTA package

Booted to Android 5.0.0

Fastbooted CWM and sideloaded SuperSU to root

Booted to Android to verify rooting

Booted to Download mode and used Heimdall to install TWRP 2.8.3.0

Did a Nandroid backup to my microSD card

Booted to Android

So far, everything seems to be working well. One nice thing is that enabling the phone to be a wireless access point now works. It wasn't working under 4.4.4. :)

Hello all,

I am newbie to this forum and also newbie to Android.

I recently got myself an ASUS Memo Pad tablet and I want to root it.

I did some searching and reading on the subject and I found some info about

Towelroot, superSU, CPU-Z, root checker, brick, app ops, etc'.

But I did not find any specific information about rooting the ASUS MemoPad 8" 4.4.2 .

Did anybody ever rooted this device ?

Can somebody direct me to a tool that can root this tablet ?

I want to root this tablet for two reasons:

- To enable me to install apps on the microSD card .

- To prevent apps from collecting data.

I would also appreciate it if anybody tell me about other advantages of a rooted Android device.

Here's the info:

ASUS Memo Pad 8"

Model Number: K011

Android version: 4.4.2

Kernel version date: Friday June 20th 2014

Processor: Intel ATOM

Architecture: X86

4 cores

Any help appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Well while I don't know how to root your tab, I can answer your other question. There are many benefits, and a couple of drawbacks. With root, you gain full read-write access to your device, which has many uses. For example you can set custom CPU clocks (to increase performance or save battery), you can remove bloatware apps which can also increase performance and save storage. Then there's adfree to block adds, you can get an app for permission management to increase security as well as firewall apps. You can also install UI mods and better customize the tablet to your liking. Finally there's the possibility of a custom recovery and ROMs like CyanogenMod. The downside is that if you fiddle too much and break something the tablet might not boot. And of course there's the problem of giving su access to a malicious app that can steal data, drain battery, slow down the system or just plain make your tablet unbootable. All in all, it's a good thing, just be careful.

Roots for K011

I know what you mean by rooting. It seems like an impossible task. One good thing about this tab though is once rooted, IT KEEPS ITS ROOT! I rooted mine and 3 updates were done, all updates keeping the root. Asus does have an app called root.apk that you can install. There is also Kingo Root which requires you go into developer mode and turn on USB Debugging. The root.apk is hard to find, but Kingo Root is easy to find and fairly simple to use as long as you have an open USB port on your computer.

Hope that helps.

Hey guys, I have been having more than normal dropped calls and poor signals so I have decided to move to an actual TMobile ROM to match with my T889 phone.

I am coming from an AT&T based SKy Note Air G2 ROM with the MK7 modem and PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v3.9.5_N7105_4.3_AROMA-signed Kernel, I also had to do a WIFI patch because I upgraded from the 4.1.2 BL to avoid Knox issues.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download Rom to sd card

2. Backup Your Contact and other data

3. When you're done downloading, reboot to CWM recovery

4. Do a Full rom backup

5. Factory reset/wipe data/wipe cache/Format system

6. Install from sd card and choose the rom

7. Wait for about 3-5 minutes to boot up until the initial screen will appear.

6. You will be prompted to choose which launcher to use (Or if black screen, press home button) and select iLauncher

7. Restore conatct and other data

8. Enjoy your iKnight Rom by [MENTION=5845183]UzUmAKI_NaRuTo1[/MENTION]

BUGS/ISSUES

1. I ported this rom from a qHD phone, so some apps have smaller resolution (wallpaper manager)

2. Panorama in Camera not working

3. Contact doesn't show after sync with your google account so Please do a backup of your contact from your Current rom then restore once the rom is installed and booted.

(Contacts can only read Sim 1 Phonebook. If you have important Sim 2 Contacts, save it in your Sim 1 or SD Card)

USEFUL TIPS

1. At first boot, change your keyboard (Google voice is default) in the iKeyboard app

2. If you have important changes to the settings and it does not work or encountered some apps not working, one important fix is to REBOOT

3. For faster and smoother performance, go to Settings ( not Setting), then go to the tab MORE... and then choose developer options. Set window, transition animation and animator duration to .5x

4. After doing step Useful tip 2, you may hide the Settings (Samsung UI settings) and then you can also hide the Gallery app. You can use the Photos app to view pictures. Or you may not hide if you like the Galley with its organized folders.

5. Dont forget to set your CPU Control. default is 497 mhz to a higher value for no lags in gaming and etc or to a lower value to save battery

6. You can use the statusbar but its very slow to adapt to changes in the apps. Enable iNoty (included in the rom) for more iOS7 UI. But if you want the statusbar, i would suggest you use the Tinted Statusbar.

7. Disable the system screen lock in the iLocker to avoid dual lockers (system lock has resolution problems)

It installs the icon in the Programs Menu and when you click on it, it will tell you if it detects a T-mobile hotspot; it also puts an icon in the connections (off of the settings menu).
