[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneekyhan:
Hello everyone, this is gonna super noob of me to post but I'm going to do it because I'm a bit confused.

I'm ok with the stock rom, I'm sure down the road some day I will install a custom rom or cyanogen mod. But for now I understand that rooting the Note 4 will trigger a change in state to show that the device had been rooted before.

I've rooted and installed custom roms on countless phones before, but the reason I make this post was because I achieved tethering/mobile hotspot by installing cyanogenmod, which came prebundled with those features enabled. I don't really want to install a custom rom, but I do want to somehow have the ability to tether/mobile hotspot without installing a custom rom. What would be the way to do that? Do I have to install an apk after rooting and if so, what would that apk be? (Using Sprint unlimited data)

TL;DR - Noob here trying find the best way to use mobile hotspot/tether without paying carrier.

Thanks for your time and sorry for such a noobish question.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChickenWingSoup:
I use Foxfi. It doesnt need root and it does mobile wifi teather without carrier charge. I'm on verizon, not sure if it works on sprint.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannstarr:
Tethering and mobile hotspot just work when completely stock and un-rooted.... I guess if you get it from specific carriers they can block this function?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneekyhan:
i'm on USA Sprint and foxfi uses the stock tether function so access to those function is denied unless you pay for it, which is why I have to root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianmay27:
So I got my nexux 6 a few days ago from att. I have since compiled lollipop from source and flashed it on my device forgetting it does not have gapps. I am trying to figure out what I need to do to install gapps onto the nexus 6. I have tried to factory image but that did not install it either. Can anyone point me to how to install gapps?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You have to find Lollipop Gapps and then flash them. You can find them on the internet.

So when I'm playing a video over Wi-Fi, I can skim through it and view it like I would normally.

When I use LTE/Mobile networks, the video will start, and then if I try to skip through it, an error message will pop up "video cannot be played"

I have disabled "reduce data usage" on chrome, but I'm not sure what else I can do to solve this problem. HELP! (this problem is consistent on any browser)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickA_55:
Ok, so I'm a Verizon customer and ordered the AT&T N6 before I knew it was SIM locked. I do have AT&T service too, but Verizon is my main. Anyway, I can forward my Verizon calls to the AT&T N6, but what about SMS messages?

I installed the Verizon Message+ app, but it just wants to use the phone's phone number. When I install Message+ on my tablets, I'm prompted to sign in to my Verizon account. I need the phone to behave the same way so I'm prompted to sign in.

Or, can I setup Hangouts to receive SMS under my Verizon number, and tell Hangouts on the AT&T phone to look for messages using that Verizon number?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] land2634:
Someone else directed me to the site cellunlocker.net. Check it out and see if that might help you get it running on Verizon.

It's working

I'm running 4.2.2 on my Xperia C and it's working like a charm :D for Bootanimation but Shutdown animation seems not working :( . Anyway's it was a great effort,Thanks alot.
[XDA-University] abhimortal6:
@ ihamza47 whats the prob. in shutdown video?

blank screen , or something?
[XDA-University] ihamza47:
I'm using a custom Xperia Z3 ROM, while shutting down it shows the shutdown animation integrated in the ROM not the one included in the flashable zip.
[XDA-University] abhimortal6:
check if /system/bin have only one " bootanimation"

b/c your factory " bootanimation" binary may start with capital " B " . if you have then rename it to anything!!.

then delete old .zip shutanimation

from /system/media

also check for "shutanimation" or similar file

Where's devilex94's credit for posting the original bootanimation binary that you're using here? All you really did was relabel some things and added some boot animations.

i'm sorry but this binary is from diff. source not from aosp

and why did u say that without even reading :(

my binary uses single video doesnt uses .zip

and it uses better method for decoding MPEG-4

than aosp's..
[XDA-University] abhimortal6:
Thanks I'm gonna update that
[XDA-University] RMarques:
Thanks man, its awesome!
[XDA-University] RMarques:
Hey there Abhi, would you mind shedding me some light? I've flashed the file you linked a couple of messages above and everything went ok. Files were copied, permissions were given, the cell phone took the almost the same amount of time to complete the boot but the boot animation output is just a black screen...no shutdown animation whatsoever!

Thanks man!

Im running Motorola RazrHD (XT925)< CM11 latest nightly, ART, F2FS /Data. (The normal (no MP4, no sound) Marvel boot animation was working fine!

Hey [MENTION=5760399]abhimortal6[/MENTION] awsome work man....only problem is all videos are showing in landscape mode and also they are stretched to fit in landscape.....any fix....lenovo a3000 tablet....4.2.2 mtk6589

Edit: just tried mcu bootanimation which was already in landscape mode....it turned portrait upside down stained stretched to fire the screen....

So now I figured out that every video gets rotated 90° clockwise and stretched to......now any fix?
[XDA-University] abhimortal6:
please send me some screen shot so i can see whats the prob . use terminal emulator and type

"su" then "bootanimation" then capture screen shot. so i can adjust video resolution for tabs

however i've already fixed it for shutdown just rename shutdown video to "bootxoff_land.mp4"
[XDA-University] Karamvir Singh:
Video link added

I think screenshot can't explain what's happening so I recorded the screen...and now you can download and check it out......when ever bootanimation plays...tab thinks that its screen has rotated 90° clockwise......and even after bootanimation stops...everything is now displaying in the top half of the screen rotated and diminished.......I have to touch at where the object has to be and not where it is showing to access anything....finally I enable auto rotation and then get my screen back in portrait......

PS...my tab never had a shutdown animation so cannot test it....all it says I shutting down....and then screen goes black.....

[XDA-University] abhimortal6:
sorry for late reply b/c of my xams

please try bootx.mp4 in rar i attached and let me know if worked!!
[XDA-University] Karamvir Singh:
i got that trick

Oh yes man....it works all you did is rotate the video 90° anticlockwise so that while playing it gets rotated back to normal.......well I had already figured it out and was using it before.....but that doesn't matter thanks for your....help ill resort to it as a workaeound until you aren't able to find the bug......

PS I think there is some problem with my device because when I installed smart scroll tools from playstore.....its scroll directions were mismatched...like up was right and right was down......me and the dev [MENTION=5992189]mrYoussef135[/MENTION] have been in touch over that matter.....so this makes me think somethings wrong with my tablet

bruh can I just push and set permission bootx.mp4 into system/media does it work that way? I can't seem to find the binaries in the zip
[XDA-University] GokulNC:
Not working on stock Android 4.4.4.

It just continues to display the boot logo instead of the boot animation when booting up.

And no animation while power off, just the old power off dialog box.

In terminal, boot animation throws this error in attachment.

By the way, how do I remove this? I tried deleting the mp4 files and restoring the bootanimation file but didn't help

[XDA-University] fireplayer:
question.

this works seemingly great for those on aosp / aokp - but what about HTC - and Sense - where bootanimation.zip is called hTC_bootup_one.zip and downanimation is called hTC_downanimation.zip and placed in system/customize/resource -

can this mod be customized for these settings? any chance you could up a custom version w these settings? I have two amazing Doctor Who videos I'd LOVE as bootanimations.

Looking for this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2nNzNo_Xps - RE-SYNCED if possible - otherwise this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gIS5AKcZGA - as bootanimation - and this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKXLkWrBo7o - as downanimation -

of course with sounds in the mp4s... can you pretty please help me?

Thanks /Pete

odin restore back to either mdk or nc5. You can just do a simple google "odin nc5(or mdk) stock tar xda" on Google for instructions.

So I have a mdk2 downgrade file. Does it have to be tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
If you are definitely returning it I would recommend you to flash the nc5 full wipe file on this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. This will remove root, upgrade your base version to a more current one, and wipe your data. Beware though, if you flash nc5 then you won't be able to get your current mdk version back.

Very much the same problem...

Son is up for renewal and was going to trade his verizon s4 in for the s5 this friday but, cant use ODIN or anything else to get it to take

He had been using the hyperdrive aroma rom and the phone was perfect (we havent upgraded to the latest rom, think he was on 17?) and the phone was fine

only reason we were going to take it back to stock was to trade it in.

Have tried to use various methods (ODIN) on this forum and all have failed.

This is a 32Gb S4 if that makes any difference

The latest was trying to use the Verizon SCH-I545 4.2.2 562219 Stock Restore file and it fails everytime

Have used two different computers, 2 different usb cords (wife has one as well) and various versions of ODIN and tar files...all fail

best I can tell is the custom recovery is gone...however I can get into ASR but, all end in fails.

What am i missing here?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Assuming you have good downloads, what version (s) of Odin have you tried? Did you install the correct Samsung drivers? Is USB debugging turned on under settings/more/about phone/developer options? Do you have anti-virus running/active?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
I have tried ODIN 1.85. 3.09 and 3.07 that I know of, may have used some others yesterday not sure..wasted about an entire day trying to fix this screwup.

Yes, installed the drivers a couple of times and also tried to use Kies

I cant get into the settings to check the usb debugging at this time because the phone wont boot after the initial flash yesterday

No av running on the computers I was using during the work

I have tried several of the guides on this site multiple times and nothing is working.

I dont know a whole lot about this stuff, usually I get brought in when he screws something up or its not working but, this one is on me trying to take it back to stock so we can trade it in this Friday....so, whatever was done wrong, I did it this time! lol

Couple things that might help someone who understands this more

If I just turn the phone on to "normal boot"..goes to yellow triangle

ODIN mode

Not sure whether that will help or not and again, this is a 32gb S4, not sure whether that matters or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
So you have not gotten a screen that says "Downloading do not turn off target"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
Oh yes, I can get to that screen but when trying to load the files with ODIN it fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You said you were using the 4.2.2 files, this is the firmware version you were on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
I am pretty sure thats what the phone came (4.2.2) with when he/we first got it.

Since then, we upgraded it to the hyperdrive rom and I think, not sure, he was on release 17

So, I believe that requires the phone to be at 4.4.2 but I may be mistaken
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You can still run Hyperdrive if you are on 4.2.2 in fact, you can flash just about anything because of the loki exploit on the MDK bootloader. Did you use the files found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751461 and follow the instructions exactly as they are written?
