B512

I have a 100% clean device, running B512. Not unlocked, nothing.

I want to install custom roms, can I just follow this steps:

Or do I need to do more to install TWRP?

Do I also need to unlock my device via ADB (Fastboot OEM unlock or something like that)?

Hi there everyone

Greetings from Paris

I encountered the same problem. The file was not there anylonger. Then I saw this post, and its reply. I downloaded the file on http://download.yousendit.com/FF900F2908E9D05B which worked fine.

I ran the CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe file.

So far so good, and then the process crashed at 98%. Something about a file in outlook. I started the whole process again, and now it just stalls at 98%. No error message. NOthing. Anybody have any idea what I should do now...

I have an Orange SPV 3000. I can put the new rom back but I wanted to do a cid unlock, before doing so. It seems to be necessary to be able to try out different roms...

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mtvn:
I never have to downgrade before I do the CID unlocked. I've tried with two MDA and never encountered any problem. You will only need to downgrade if you CANNOT CID unlocked; otherwise, don't bother to downgrade.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Paul Bourbon:
thats just the point. I cant do the cid unlock... And I suspect that the rom version has something to do with it. Anyway, thats what I read everywhere on this site. So I am still looking for a working link to Button 1.05 ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] j3d1n4s7y:
When downgrading with this ROM...it will stall at 98% for a few minutes...be patient. To confirm that the ROM I posted was legit...I used it again myself and worked fine. Then to make sure it wasn't just me...I had 2 other people tell me they used it and worked fine for them as well.

Don't know what to tell you as this is the ROM that was hosted on the FTP site for a long time.

Hi everyone,

I've updated to lollipop a few days ago and since then, a few minutes after making a phone call the other person is no longer hearing me. This happens on almost 50% of the cases and does not matter if I am connected on 3G or 2G. If I call again everything is fine. Does anyone have the same problem?

I have become accustomed to not seeing ads through out the user experience. I was using a flashable ad blocker from the N5 thread but I guess its not 5.0 compatible.. You guys have any suggestions.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Sinker1345:

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] PJcastaldo:

Huh? AdAway is working for me. I downloaded it from f-droid. I just ran an Ookla Speedtest and no ads came up
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I prefer using https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway ... AdFree is nice but blocks a lot of the Slickdeals links for me, yeah theres whitelisting but Slickdeals has a lot of redirecting links whereas AdAway is less aggressive on that part and gets most of the ads.

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Whitelist redirect.viglink.com on AdAway then reapply the list.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] PewPewK:
Out of curiosity, can you run an adblocker (like adaway), have it modify the hostfile, then unroot and still have ads blocked? Or do you need to keep root for the changes to remain in effect?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] cupfulloflol:
You can unroot after making the change. You would have to re-root to update or modify the hosts file again.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] PewPewK:
I'll probably do that then. I have an app (a game) I'd like to keep using, but its got a very invasive root detection system. On KitKat, the only way to get around it was with Cydia Substrate and RootCloak Plus. But I'm not expecting Cydia Substrate to be fixed for ART for months... if ever. Which means I'm a long ways away from having a good root cloak again. Still, nice to know I can keep some root only features by rooting, changing what I want, then uninstalling the root and reinstalling it occasionally when I need to make changes.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Acrono:
AdAway is what I'm using. Both AdFree and AdAway work similarly, but AdAway is more polished. AdBlock+ is very funky on android, and only works on wifi.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] brizey:
I had been using the Mother of All Ad-Blocking hosts file, but it doesn't seem to work, and i don't know why. The hosts file is there, and permissions are set, but I still get ads. Compared it to my old S4 and no ads using the same file. May have to go back to Ad-Away. I liked MOAAB because its flash and forget.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Did you make this backup yourself or download it off xda?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamonBoboman:
If you didn't make a nandroid backup (I'm assuming you didn't), you're going to want to look here for a flashable zip of your stock RUU. If you can't find one, try looking for a nandroid backup of your device then port it to a flashable zip. Hope this helps, but this is what I did when I installed CM and forgot to make a backup.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayad1:
Downloaded from xda
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamonBoboman:
Ohh, I misunderstood what you were saying, you're asking how to do it.

Reboot your phone into recovery (Shut it off, turn it off, then hold volume down and power button at the same time, then go to recovery)

Go to the "Install ZIP" category.

Go to "Install from SD Card"

Go to "Downloads" (I'm guessing)

Then choose the .zip you downloded, good luck.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayad1:
I download this backup from on xda site
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamonBoboman:
Ohh, so it is in the form of a nandroid backup? I see.

What you're going to want to do is go to this post.

How to create a Flashable ZIP from a Nandroid Backup
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayad1:
It is in the from cwm backup
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamonBoboman:
Use the link I provided you.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
No, don't follow his instructions at all haha. Take the zip you downloaded and extract it, (should be called a bunch of numbers, it signifies the date it was created) after that place the folder on your internal (or external) sd card in the directory /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

Or "/ext_sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/"

After that boot into cwm, and choose restore/backup. Select restore from sdcard (or sdcard1 depending on if the backup is on your internal or external sdcard) and choose the file with the long string of numbers, which should be the only on in there. But make sure it matches the numbers that I previously mentioned. Choose yes i wish to restore.

After that just boot up your phone.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
I was googling for some news on custom ROMs for our S5 Mini when I stumbled upon some sites that seem to be deploying a fake ROM.

If you google for "upgrade update galaxy s5 mini to 5.0 lollipop" you'll find some entries claiming that "I rewrite this tutorial from xdaforums.com". Download links are provided, but the whole thing seems to be BS, just because:

- there is no reference to the "tutorial" cited, in the first place;

- whichever link I clicked at the menu ("home", "about us", etc) lead me to the very same page I landed at first;

- I changed the browser link from ".../samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-duos-6563.html" to "../samsung-galaxy-s6-mini-duos-6563.html" and I was taken to a page telling me how to... upgrade my "S6 Mini";

- as you may have guessed, changing the link to "...S19-mini-duos..." will also give a positive result, and the same goes with the Galaxy-XPTO97-mini-duos, of course.

So beware

: downloading and installing those alleged "ROM upgrade files" could be a very dangerous project, to say the least. Take care.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
If anyone is rooted with the STOCK recovery (kitkat or lollipop -- doesn't matter) on the US version (LTE or wifi - doesn't matter), can you please pull a copy of your recovery image and make it available to me?

How to get it:

adb shell, su to root, and:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096

That will leave a "recovery.img" in the root of your internal storage.

(If someone has the one of the recovery packages from nvidia's website, it should also contain a recovery image.)

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
There is more to this than I can fit in the subject line.

My wife dropped her S4 into a pail of milk (she works in a cafe), We were not able to clean it until the next day and we also stuck it in a bag of rice.

I took it it into a local repair place who removed the board, soaked it in cleaning fluid and the phone restarted okay. But apparently the milk had damaged the digitiser so that no touch was recognised on the lower part of the screen despite their cleaning the contacts etc. So bit the bullet and had a new screen/digitiser installed.

Now my wife tells me and I can confirm this, that when using two of her favourite apps for communication(Wechat and Viber) when she tries to record a voice message the mic stops working. In Wechat the level control doesn't show any bars. Or it will work briefly and then stop. But regular cellphone calls are fine and the called party can hear her. Out of interest I installed a recorder app and that works fine also. I can use the recorder app and then try to use Wechat and the recorder will work, Wechat (or Viber) won't.

It seems like this should be a software issue but everything was working before the milk incident and no software was updated when the digitiser was installed.

I guess we could remove both apps and reinstall them but my wife has long chat conversation threads on both apps which get lost if you re-install and she wants to keep them.

I plan to go back to the repair place to ask if they can see if there are any issues but this doesn't really make much sense.

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:

And reinstall the apps.

"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ?"
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
Well I backed up her messages (Wechat has a capability to do that), deleted the app, re-installed it and restored her messages. After being able to send about 4 or 5 messages with audio, the audio stopped working again.

It's hard to believe it's a hardware issue when the same mic works with regular calls and a digital recorder but next step is to factory reset the phone and see if the app behaves itself then.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Claw22000:
I have been reading up on the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and the TF701T. I really would like some advice on helping to decide which way to go. I will list a few questions I have and concerns I have to see if any of you current users can help lead me to a decision.

Thanks in advance.

I know the primary differences between the 2. What I would like to know is has any one had any issues with rooting or putting roms on this? I have a Galaxy S4 and it really made me shy away from Samsung. I will never buy a phone from them that's for sure. Love the power it has and the screen is decent (a little dark) but getting roms on it is a nightmare. I've had a few different Android devices and loved all of them rooting and replacing the roms have been awesome! I just don't want to get one and find out that I'm going to have the same issues I have with my phone now. I realize that phones are different in the respect to the need to have extra protection requested by the phone companies. Thats why I'm reaching out to you to see what your experiences are.

Needs... I need to be able to use a Gumdrop or Otter box case as I have a 2 and 4 year old that will probably be using it at sometime or another. I also need it to have a decent battery life as I will most likely us it for work and play.

Wants... Speed, reliability, durability, Root, Roms, Games, and expand-ability.

I don't care about the stylus so that's not a reason to get this device. I will want a clean rom without all the Samsung garbage that this send with it.

Hope I can get some help with ideas here as I currently have a TF700T and aside from the ram shortage I love it. But time to give that to the kids and get Dad a new tab.

Again thanks for all the incite and opinions.

DrClaw
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
Don't get the note 10.1 if you don't need the stylus. You pay quite a bit extra for it and samsungs tab devices are basically the same hardware wise. It's wasted money if you dont use the stylus. You can get great deals on the samsung tab 10.1 depending on your country. A fellow student picked up a new tab ( 3 I believe) for 180€ two weeks ago.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] buhohitr:
watch this and you should have a decision:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBvyczTGh9A

My opinion, TF701 will beats the Samsung in Gaming, hand down. Everything else Samsung is better like, camera, speed, lighter, bigger screen, stylus a plus etc... Samsung is slightly cost more if you buy both used. I'm not a gamer so I would pick the Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Claw22000:
99% decided.

After listening to many different opinions and watching videos I'm pretty settled on getting the Samsung Galaxy S 10.5. It was suggested I broaden my horizons a bit to include this tab in my research and I'm glad I did. The performance is identical to the 2014 but it has an LED screen giving it a brighter screen darker blacks and a crisper image. It also has a ROM that removes KNOX. This was a major concern for me because of the dislikes I have experienced with my S4 Phone. Gumdrop also makes a case for this and doesn't make one for the TF701T. I love their cases and as long as they are in business I will be purchasing them. Unless the TF701T pulls out some crazy feats in the next few days I will be purchasing the Tab S.

Thanks to all who have offered their opinions and considerations. I really appreciate them all. If anyone has any last note please don't hesitate to add to the pile I will consider more options.

Bit off topic, but how strict is Samsung on tripping Knox voiding warranty? My knowledge of it is that its a irreversible bit flip that Samsung will check for at warranty.

Do they check for this every time and does it guarantee a warranty denial?
