[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello,

I have used xda for years (never making an account) because all i ever did was read the forums on how to root devices.

Over the years I have successfully rooted over 10 devices of mine, ranging from the SGT2 to the SGN2.

But I haven't rooted my newest device, SGT3 which I was very excited to root when I got it, but nothing

was released at the time and I just forgot to do it. Now almost a whole year later I want to root my device.

But I am having an issue and I believe that it is all being caused by this mystery app 'KNOX'. I have done some research

on this app and from what I found is that it is a new security app for all the Samsung products 4.3.3 and above.

I say mystery app because from everywhere I have read you are able to open the app, but the thing is, I can't.

I don't even see the app when I open my 'all apps' button. But I go into the settings and to App Manager and i see that I have

KNOX installed, I can't uninstall or clear data or cache. It's all greyed out, another thing is I am running 4.2.2,

so I don't understand why I even have the app.

I have gotten frustrated trying and trying to root my device, I give up. I have hit a digital wall that I can't seem to hack my way around or through,

so could someone with a little more knowledge help me out, or just say it's impossible.

Thank You for any help!

P.S. - This is my first post and I wasn't entirely sure where to put this so XDA Assist sounded good, don't hate me if its not where it should be. :\

Are you saying you have the galaxy tab 3 8.0?

If so this method should work just fine.

Knox is present on 4.2.2 and up. However the Knox flagged boot loader and container isn't present until 4.3 and up.

Good luck!

The vibration feature on my Z2 tablet is a bit weird.... if I enable vibration on the keyboard, but type too fast, the vibration motor will spin at higher and higher RPMs. Never seen anything like this on other devices. Does anyone else see this on their X2 Tablet?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANGER_A2:
Yeah. It's funny. You can do it with lots of apps. Obviously the software sends a pwm signal to the motor and if another signal is sent before it stops it adds to it. Easy solution:turn off haptic feedback it's a stupid feature that wastes the battery! :P
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwtsn32x:
I wonder if this is something Sony may fix in a future software update, or if it's a fundamental hardware issue. personally I like haptic feedback for the keyboard instead of sound feedback. Oh well.

I flashed dynamic kat today and I'm trying to go back to 100% stock. I thought cf-auto root would do this but it only seems to flash the recovery. I made a back up but im not sure if it goes back to before I had network issues.

I saw that, but what would I do to get the bad boys rom properly installed? Would it be ready to just follow they're installation instructions completely or would it require me to do other steps prior?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
You need to follow the instructions in that thread

Unlock boot loader

Flash recovery in fastboot from PC using adb with fastboot commands

Make a nandroid/backup of your stock rom

Place the SuperSu.zip on your sdcard and flash in recovery to obtain root. If you want root on stock ROM or you can just simply flash the BadBoys ROM it already comes Rooted.

Just read the OP of threads and educate yourself on what you are doing. You can learn a lot by simply taking time to read thru things thoroughly. Maybe read the same things more than once to completely understand what you are doing.

As far as the BB ROM you are already on the HK firmware. You might wanna look into obtaining Soff it makes things easier on this phone

Here is a link to soff it cist I think like $25 but it is well worth it. I don't know what version you are on 4.4.2 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 cause you just got this phone but read the op of this thread to see if you will be able to obtain soff

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] oKersey:
Alright. I was able to succesfully root my phone, but now I'm a little confused on how to get the ROM I want. I'm not willing to pay for a ROM without seeing what I need/like first, so I figured I'd try some out. I was looking at Android Rev HD. Would I be able to flash that ROM if I'm still on 4.4.2? Also, whats the best way to get any app I'd might want? Sorry for the newb questions. I'm just trying to be extra cautious.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
All Roms are free the only thing that cost is the S-off tool which is sunshine.

Put it this way since you are S-on you basically have to take the official OTA all the way up to 4.4.4 cause you are on 4.4.2.

If you want to flash any ROM that is based on a version other than what you are currently on you will have issues.

For example you are on 4.4.2 and have the firmware that comes with that version. Every time we receive an update on our phones are H-boot, recovery and firmware are also flashed with an ota. The only way to upgrade your firmware being S-on is to basically put stick recovery back and be 100% stick than take ota

S-OFF allows you to by pass the crappy part having to take the entire OTA. With S-Off you can flash just the firmware and or HBoot/recovery without taking the ota.

In order to run the newer Roms that are 4.4.4 you have to no if and or buts most definitely have to be on the firmware that is for 4.4.4 and also it is recommended to update your Hboot along the way cause if you aren't in the latest firmware you will have issues like no WiFi and long as hell boot times so if I was you I would S-off for 25$ before I even went past 4.4.2
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] oKersey:
Alright, I guess I'll have to go S-Off. Once I do go S-Off, whats the proper way to get to 4.4.4? Is there a guide anywhere?

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] oKersey:

Make a backup in TWRP of your current setup.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] oKersey:
Alright, that's done. Now I'm just having trouble deciding what ROM I want to use. I like a minimalist look, but nothing too barebones, and I'd definitely like bloatware to be gone. (or at least know the proper way to uninstall it)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Well that's entirely up to you. Just read the op and see what the ROM is all about. Flash it if its not your cup of tea than you can restore your backup and keep looking.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] oKersey:
Ended up getting Digitalhigh's GPE 5.0 ROM. I wasn't able to backup before I flashed the ROM though, because I did a factory wipe of all data in TWRP, and lost my backup with that. But I was able to flash the ROM succesfully, and it's running great. If I wanted to revert back to Stock ROM how would I go about doing that? Also, what about going to different Custom ROMs? And last question. Where's the best place to find some cool apps. I'd really like a one where I can download movies/tv shows if possible.

Also, thanks a million times. I think I've got the jist of things now, and feel pretty confident venturing on my own. I really appreciate everyone being patient with me.

So, this device has started acting up all of a sudden. Started giving me the white bg screen with the logo after a random reboot. Tried doing everything possible on this to fix it, and get this back to the stock ROM using the official RUU (htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_R23_US.exe), was hoping to retrieve some of it's data since I didn't have sufficient amount of good data backed up. But at this point, all I want to do is get this puppy back up and running w/ unlock and root, any way possible. Tried doing the RUU on two different windows machines with different usb cords, have received error message 170,171(was able to get rid of those with the help of CCleaner, a quick registry wipe) and finally error 155 when the update got stuck at 9% with the black screen with htc written on it. I would even wanna try if I can put lollipop on this, as I just came across a post here that says it's doable. But I just don't have a way to enable USB debugging as I don't have any access to the OS, or even the Play store. Would appreciate suggestions, and proper step guidelines on this! Please help a brother learn as I'm just starting to take small footsteps towards this. Will appreciate any help. Thanks a lot!

Help flashing JB on a HTC vivid

Hi,

I've been trying to upgrade my android OS from ICS to JB using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

I already unlocked the bootloader and installed the ClockworkMod Recovery, now when I'm trying to install the new ROM, it says that the installation was completed however I still have ICS 4.0.3. I'm following these steps:

Download a ROM, it should be in a zip file (MAKE SURE the ROM is pre rooted, or else you might lose root. If you do not know, ask the respective dev)

2) Connect your phone to your computer through the USB and mount the storage card (storage mode)

3) Copy the ROM you downloaded and put it on the ROOT of your storage card (not in any folders)

4) Power off your phone. Then power it on holding the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. You should be in H-Boot, now use the volume rocker to select recovery (the power button "selects" it)

5) Once in recovery, scroll down to "backup and restore" and select it, now select "backup". This will give you a safe ROM to fall back on and restore in case anything goes wrong

- IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH BACKING UP, pull the battery, boot back into recovery (power + vol down then select recovery) and try again. OR you may have to boot up and delete the old partial backups with a file explorer and try again. OR make sure your USB is no longer connected and try again.

6) Get back to the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset". Select "Yes" when prompted.

7) Get back to the main recovery menu and select "wipe cache partition". Select "Yes" when prompted.

8) Get back to the main recovery menu and select "advanced". Now select "Wipe dalvik cache" and select "Yes" when prompted.

9) Get back to the main recovery menu and select "Install zip from SD card". Choose the ROM you just put on the storage card, and select "Yes".

10) IF your ROM will not install correctly or you get an error and you are using the recovery from the superguide (this one) then tell the dev of the ROM to update their script to work with the new recovery

11) Get back to the main recovery menu and select "Reboot now". Your ROM will now be loaded up. Do not panic if it takes a small while (5 minutes at most I'd say) because the first boot always takes some time.

Is there something I'm missing or something else I have to do?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:

Why JB and not KitKat?

Either CM or PAC are good choices... PAC has more features...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gersonvel:
Do I still need to S-OFF? because I've been reading and found some steps which include a wire trick which I'm not sure about.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
No... Use fastboot to flash the boot.img...

And the wire trick just forces a reboot... Its a special reboot but that's all it is...

As you said, it's VERY important, I would say MANDATORY to read most of the threads in the forum.

My forum Join Date is 30-10-2006. Only after 3 months I made the first upgrade.

It's very nice to get a new ROM but we must be patience before doing it.

Last point:Before the upgrade I also got the "unbrick" tools , just in case...

And I had a stupid problem: stuck on bootloader: REASON, I didn't use the original cable during the first upgrade attempt.

If you reset your device, maybe your phone thinks there is more than one?

This is what worked for me with the two devices I had: I had to either disconnect (Gear Manager) or entire unpair (BT settings of phone) my first device, then the second device could reinstall the apps. I should have updated this post when I figured it out, as I am fuzzy on the install details: I think I had to redownload from the app store.

For imap are you using SSL/TLS ( accept all certificates) port 993? It fails instantly with this but works on KitKat. If I try the other protocols it at least take some time verifying before failing, but failing is expected with those settings.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
I'm just using SSL/TLS, port 443 for both my exchange server and Office365, and it works with no issues. Of course, your server may be setup differently, so this may not help. Does your server have a self-signed certificate? Maybe the issue isn't with IMAP, but trust issues with the Certificate Authority? (Neither of the certificates I'm dealing with are self-signed.)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundneedle:
I'm not sure how my work configs their servers but this exact setup works on my moto x and turbo. The speed at which it fails making a connection makes it seem like something on the phone is blocking the attempt. I'll try some other apps from the Play store and see if I have any better luck.

Update:

Just tried using cloud magic from the Play Store. It works but I don't trust this app with my credentials. I suspect it connects to the servers in a different way than native email apps on the Nexus. It also uses ssl and 993. For now I have no other choice but to use it.
