Sorry, about that I was a little rushed with that one:). It is better to use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515656 to flash custom Roms then Obin because it is faster and is a lot simpler. That thread is all about the custom recovery TWRP. I suggest reading the last ten or so pages. I would ask any recovery questions over there.

You are right CF-Root does keep stock recovery. Rooting shouldn't cause problems it is when you start playing with system, changing cpu settings to much, flashing incompatible ROM or kernel, related stuff that is when the trouble can start. This is where a custom recovery comes is handy because you can just restore the back up. I wouldn't worry about bricking when rooting because there are at least five or maybe more safe guards. TWRP also has some safe guards as long as you follow the directs when flashing then you will be fine, I will make a flashing check list for you when you are ready. In the event you were ever to brick your tablet Samsung devices are also really easy to unbrick it is just a simple search of XDA.

The key to minimizing the risk of problems is to read a lot and ask as many questions as possible. If you need more clarification just ask?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Many thanks Orion again. If I can get Android L after rooting, I am now ready for you to send me the flashing list. My requirement is simple to start with wherein I'd like to get the multi-window (4-way), magazine UX, better battery life, more s-pen features (if available). Basically, I just want to root (don't want to install any custom ROMs), delete some unwanted apps and install the above features I wanted. I downloaded the 1.7 GB file from hyperdrive and can see some ".apk" files for the above features I am requesting for. I am guessing I can only install the required .apks after rooting. Please confirm if this is possible?

Please can you now list point by point on what I should do? I will bank on you and follow your steps for rooting and installing the above features.

Also, I have downloaded Titanium backup to freeze the KNOX and SuperSU so am ready when you are ready. Please please let me know if I will be able to get Android L
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Please can you provide me with the flashing checklist
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
Sorry for the delay. I was checking to see if you could flash just the apk files in a zip form or not. I was told that you have to install the complete ROM because the ROM has certain software framework that needs to be in place. Here is a check list for you.

1. Root using CF-Auto Root as per the instructions on the are the thread posted earlier. One comment here if you do not get root uncheck auto reboot and leave all other settings that are checked checked.

2. Freeze Knox there are six to eight things to freeze.

3. Download Flashify.

4. In Flashify when it asks for a recovery choose TWRP navigate to version 2.6.3 newer version don't wipe cache like they should*.

5. Make a back up and store it on your external SD card. Back ups are for stock are big at least 4.5 to 5 GBs

6. Reboot and use TB and delete the KNOX files completely.

7. Then debloat and do whatever else you want to do while rooted.

8. You have two choices at this time

8 a. Stay rooted and play around with different roms.

8 b. Unroot using the SuperSU app. I believe you still have access to TWRP so you can restore your back up if you want, not sure why you would need to restore it but it is always good to have a back up handy.

9. Enjoy a smother running device?

*If the Flashify method doesn't work use the other method in the TWRP thread I posted.

Again make sure you understand all of what I said and read, read, read, the more you read the more you will be prepared for anything. Good luck and enjoy this process. If you have questions about flashing custom Roms just ask.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Many thanks Orion.

Point 5 - when you say back-up 4-5 GB, it means the current Kernels, OS, apps etc.?

Point 8 a - can I just flash the ROM from hyperdrive website (the 1.7 GB one) at this stage? Also, if want another ROM later from someone else, should I just delete the current hyperdrive ROM and flash that new one through odin?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
Point 5 yes a back up literally like pausing movie half way through, and then unpausing it when ever you want. Everything that is on your tablet is saved and frozen as it is. When you restore a back up everything will be like it was when you did the back up. Samsungs OS is huge most custom ROM back ups are 1 to 2.5 GBs.

Point 8 yes, you can flash Hyperdrive here. Flashing with Obin is fine for flashing stock updates but for most custom roms it is easier to flash with TWRP. Here is another check list for flashing any ROM with TWRP:

Note: I will say when I want you to reboot.

1. Make a back up just in case there are problems with anything or you don't like the ROM.

2. After making your back up reboot system.

3. After the system has booted reboot to recovery.

4. Then do a factory reset three time.

5. Go into advance in wipe and wipe system. Do not ever wipe any of the memorys.

6. Then go back to the home menu tap install choose where you download the rom*.

7 For stock based Roms like Hyperdrive just skip this step. Before you install the ROM also install a gapps package, gapps are Google apps, these need to be installed only if the ROM is AOSP based. Stock based Roms include gapps.

8. For some Roms like Hyperdrive they use something called aroma installer for the extra features just follow the on screen directions for that.

9. After the flash is successful there should be an option to wipe cache and Dalvice, that is spelled wrong, do that wipe and reboot.

10. If all went well you should be able to set up the ROM and enjoy. Just a little warning the first time you boot a new ROM it will take ten minutes to boot, so don't worry to much if it takes awhile to start.

As always before you do any of this make sure you understand everything that was said.

* Always download ROM zips to the internal memory it is faster installing and it is less likely to become corrupted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Ok, sort of clear. Can you clarify this for me please? I am going to root my note (and delete KNOX) and then delete all bloatware. Then, assume I don't want to install any custom ROMS, will it be possible for me to install official updates (Eg: Android L) via sammobile? If yes, is it just a case of downloading that update in the laptop and flash it through ODIN?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
Yep, that is correct. You can install official firmware from Sammobile, but a little warning if you do flash official firmware then Knox will come back and so will the bloatware. So what I would do is wait to see if we can root the official firmware before flashing it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
I meant, I need to install official firmware from sammobile on a rooted device so slightly lost with your answer orion. When you say knox will come back, can I not delete it with TB since I will be having a rooted device? Am I missing something here?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
Yes, when updating android version you will lose root, also when you flash official firmware all of the official bloat is also installed. Updating KitKat to a newer kitkat version will also lose root but you can reroot. We do not what Samsung will do with the new security features they could make it impossible to reroot. That is why I said I would wait for month until someone smarter checks to see if it is rootable. Hope this clears things up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] subram:
Very clear now. A quick question before I make up my mind - Is it possible to install official Android L (device not rooted) when it has been released in sammobile portal through KIES rather than waiting for a year or so to get the update in note 10. 2014? If yes, can you let me know if android L has been released for UK?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Orion116:
If you mean installing a different region without rooting. Then yes it is possible since all sm-p600's are the same. You can install a United States or any region update using Obin or KIES. As long as you only flash official firmware and not root you keep your warranty intact. I live in the US so I can keep an eye out for it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoTeamScotch:
Last night I got a Galaxy S5 as an anniversary gift and successfully rooted and installed TWRP and Alliance Rom 4.4.2 and everything is going smooth for the most part except for fingerprint scanning.

When going to define a new fingerprint or access fingerprint options it gives an error: "An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor...".

The process I took to mod it was use Odin to downgrade the kernel back to a towelroot friendly one, use towelroot to gain root, install busybox, flash previous kernel back using Odin, installed Safestrap (nandroid backed up), installed Alliance Rom via Safestrap recovery, installed SuperSU (disabled KNOX) and here I am. Does disabling KNOX cause the issue?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks XDA

Yes I have searched forums and google before posting. Yes I wiped prior to installing the rom.

Unrelated problem: the phone also does not shut down. When going to shut down the samsung shut down animation plays then the screen goes black and just hangs there. The LED shows a blue light and the bottom soft keys are lit up and it will stay that way until I pull the battery. Any advice?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SkateSoft:
While installing a rom using aroma when prompted to reboot no matter what I option I choose the screen goes to black. If I selected to reboot the device will reboot, but if I don't the screen will stay black until I reboot with adb. Additionally when flashing some roms with aroma, specifically DigitalHigh's L rom, after exiting aroma the device gets stuck on the HTC logo for a few minutes, than boots into the rom normally. This happens on every boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I'm guessing that you are using TWRP for recovery. You need to go into the advanced settings in TWRP and adjust the screen timeout. I have mine set at max, but you can also shut it off. As for long boot times, are you saying a long boot time after flashing a rom or on every boot after the rom is already installed?

Make sure that you are on the latest firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SkateSoft:
On every boot after the rom is installed. I have tested it with several ROMs, and it seems to be only happening on DigitalHigh's L rom. I think it may be due to my TWRP not being up to date.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtonfamily101:
Hello,

I am very sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread. My question is I am planning on buying a blue AT&T unlocked m7 from eBay. But I want to be sure that I will have the option to root/unlock boot loader for the GPE 5.0 if wanted. Is every GSM M7 able to? not sure if there is something special about it being blue.

Is there anyway to tell if I can or not?

Thank you so much!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If it's at&t Unlocking the bootloader shouldn't be a problem. You can do it at www.htcdev.com

To convert to GPE requires s-off which depending on the devices current firmware may cost extra. As you may need to use sunshine to s-off which costs $25. There are free exploits but non guarantee s-off on newer firmwares.

There are only 2 types of HTC one I know of that can't be unlocked and that's Verizon and GPE.

I'm wondering if it's possible to play music on a car radio (or any usb input) thru the usb port on the note 4?

Any app, mod, hack, tweak to mount a certain folder (music) as a thumb drive?

I have several usb input audio devices, but I can't access anything when I attach the note.

I feel you, I tried to do the same with no success ended up buying a 3.5mm headphone jack to rca for my car stereo ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araltd:
Yeah that sucks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deeveeance:
So you're trying to MOUNT a USB DRIVE filled with music and play it to your car stereo? You using a 3.5mm cable or Bluetooth here?

I have some USB OTG cables (really cheap, ebay) and play the music from my SD card using PowerAmp (FLAC Playback, also allows folder choosing; your USB drive?) through the OTG cable, to my Fiio E07k, then to my headphones/speakers. Works FLAWLESSLY, and if I plug anything to the headphone jack simultaneously, it will re-route the audio.

Hope this helps.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araltd:
I can't remember, I set it up a long time ago. It's a 64gb uhs1 card. I remember I had to format it with a pc app to get it to be recognized in my (then) Galaxy S3, and I simply moved it in to my note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman7793:
OK, with that being said, what stereo you using? Display style or single din?

Is it linix based or android?

Brand and model number?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Araltd:
I've got a pioneer single din in the wife's car (can't remember the #) and I've got a Kenwood dnx5120 double din, which has a usb port that will read a usb thumb drive or a hdd (or iPod / iPhone) but will not "see" my phone when connected usb.

I figure if it can read a usb thumb drive or even a hdd, why can't the note 4 mount itself as a thumb drive (external sd card) and allow my radio to read it's content and play it's mp3's?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NachoLaflame:
Ever found a way?

Im in the same situation.

Ive tried the apps that enable usb mass storage mode on my sgh-1337m galaxy s4 and while it works and my computer recognizes my sd card as an usb drive, my car stereo still does not.

Any other way or USM enabler that works?

I have never found a way ? sad to say. If anyone can point us in the right direction if that direction even exists, that would be great.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madcowintucson:
I just bought a Kenwood KDC x701 and I had a very unusual set of circumstances. When I plug in my HTC 10 to either USB cable one or two nothing happens other than charging the phone. The Kenwood radio does not recognize the HTC 10 at all. I thought this was completely normal as I was not trying to mount the HTC 10 internal storage to play music files as I have no music files on my phone except audio recordings I make myself a phone calls and such. I am able to stream music via Bluetooth from the phone to the radio just fine and that's what I've been doing this entire time. The only thing I listen to is tidal music streaming service. So the other day I went to plug in my lgv10 to charge while I was driving and a funny thing happened. The radio display indicated it was reading and then went into a hand mode, it is literally called hand mode LOL. The next thing that happened was a message popped up on my phone asking me if I wanted to download a Kenwood app from the Play Store I hit cancel. Then all of the sudden it started playing music from the Tidal music streaming app. Although no information was displayed on the radio I was able to use the buttons to skip forward and Skip ahead of the different tracks but I am not sure I am able to pause or play music on the radio controls. I am not sure how it is possible to stream digital audio through the USB cable directly into the radio. I have no audio files stored on my phone on either phone and I'm not even sure how to mount internal or external storage on the phone if I wanted to use the head unit to access any audio files. So I called Kenwood and they said what I described is not possible with any of their head units. They did say that I should be able to mount my internal or external storage on my phone and use the Kenwood app two act as a music player and play the files on the phone and have them information sent to the radio. What it sounds to me like is I have a USB OTG situation with the LG V10 and no one knows why. Also of note I am unable to stream music from the lgv10 to the Kenwood stereo and no one knows why Kenwood does not know why. All of the track information is displayed on the radio I can control the songs going backwards and forwards the timer countdown xcetera but there's just no music. I will say streaming music from Tidal music service streaming app sounds much much better through the USB cable versus Bluetooth. I can't believe how much better it sounds over the USB cable it's like adding an amplifier to your system. I will try to make some videos and if this helps anyone that's going to be awesome. Also of note when I select source to USB when I have my lgv10 plugged in it calls the source Android1. This totally sounds to me like USB OTG. What do you all think and has anything like this happened to anyone else? And this does not work with my HTC 10.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ug:
I don't believe that this is possible any longer. It was possible under older versions of android (pre kit kat i believe) where the "internal sd" was seen as a physically separate storage device instead of being mounted under /data/media. Once they made this change, they had to swap from USB Mass Storage mode to the annoying Media Transfer Protocol. The reason Mass Storage had to be dropped is because of how it functioned. When you allowed access to your "internal sd" it would have to dismount it from the OS to give the host device plugged into the USB port exclusive access to the file system. Since they made the move to mounting it as /data/media there is no way to give that exclusive access any longer. Trying to dismount that /data/media to give that exclusive control would yank away all of the writable media away from the OS. Android would likely crash, or at least nothing would function any longer.

Added more to the list, that is a huge amount of bloat removed and seems to be running fine without it! Definitely seems much more stock Android as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] KevTN:
Good thread but quick question pls. I see many of you are disabling the hot spot. One of the top things i use is the a hot spot for my daughters homework while in the car and such. Is there a secondary hot spot youre using?

Thx
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] impala454:
Not that I know of, but if you need it, just don't disable it ;)

The idea here is to get to stock Android, then perhaps enable the things you needed from Verizon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
I'm a little shocked anyone would disabled the moto features. I guess this thread is about the most stock experience. But if the moto apps were on the market, & I was rocking a nexus. I would still have it downloaded lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] impala454:
Yeah I may still re-enable some of those.

Also disabled the Camera app and installed the Google Camera. No reason to have two :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] frankeegee:
I have disabled most of these apps. Now I can not answer my phone when it rings. The phone rings, but no animation comes up to let me swipe or any way to choose to answer it. What have I disabled/changed that would cause this? Every thing else seems to work fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] impala454:
Post your list and maybe we can figure it out. My guess is maybe you only disabled some of the Motorola specific ones? I have the full list as advertised in the first post and have no prob answering from a screen off.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] frankeegee:
Sorry, I was unable to post them. I did go into settings and enabled every one that I had disabled with my wife periodically calling me. I also randomly turned the phone off and on a few times. Still nothing. The phone rings, but the answering icon does not appear and I can not answer. Is there another way to answer the phone? Could I have turned something off that would affect this or maybe download an app?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] frankeegee:
I just went into recovery and wiped the cache partition, reboot. This did not fix the problem. Don't know what else to try? I'm thinking it is something simple. I will take it into Version tomorrow.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] impala454:
That's really strange. Maybe it wasn't related to the disabling?
