I believe you hold the power button and then hit volume up. At least that seemed to work for me.
[G Pad 8.3 General] isamonic:
I hope someone can help me, I updated my GPad OTA yesterday, it was doing well until I powered it down and turned it on again and now its stuck at bootloop. Is there anyway to fix this?

(My laptop is a mac BTW).

Thanks in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vtmike:
The restore to stock on 4.4.4 on the op may be your best bet. Could also try flashing twrp and restoring the stock 5.0 back up someone provided.
[G Pad 8.3 General] isamonic:
May I ask how its done? I'm a newbie at this...
[G Pad 8.3 General] shawn13165:
Theres a link to the thread in the op that has the intructions on how to restore back to 4.4.4 stock. Its an easy process and they supplied step by step intructions on how to do it.

Yeah, So I have a DD-WRT enabled Dual Band Router. I see my 2.4 GHz AP when I keep tablet Wifi Settings to Auto. but as soon as I change it to 5 GHz, all the APs dissapear.
[G Pad 8.3 General] rocket321:
Did you check that the router is broadcasting and visible to other devices, maybe try a reboot on the router? If had instances where my dual band router would drop one of the bands.

Check for a router firmware update?
[G Pad 8.3 General] rocket321:
Looks like a known lollipop bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80374

Obviously not affecting everyone so may be limited to specific routers or their security settings. Switching your encryption settings may be worth trying otherwise I'd look for a future update from Google.
[G Pad 8.3 General] da_hool:
Is it me or are there no default android wallpapers after the Lollipop update?

I noticed that as well.
[G Pad 8.3 General] needtoride:
Sorry for the newbie question. I'm rooted and running stock recovery. OTA fails to install.

Is my best bet to go to TWRP and recover from the Lollipop backup posted here?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Colchiro:
IMO, yes.
[G Pad 8.3 General] needtoride:
So are you saying that after I rename platform.xml, I should be able to get the OTA? Not clear if unroot is necessary from your post. Thanks in advance!
[G Pad 8.3 General] ragflan:
Just to make sure I'm 100% clear, if you have used the app 'Kitkat SDFix' it renames your original platform.xml to something (let's call it platform_modified.bak for example) else and creates a new modified platform.xml . What you need to do (before unrooting) is to rename the new modified platform.xml to something else, and then rename your original platform.xml back to platform.xml. After doing this, I uninstalled xposed and removed root from the SuperSu app by using the setting within the app to unroot. After this OTA worked. Hope that helps.
[G Pad 8.3 General] needtoride:
Great. Thanks for clarifying this is the exact scenario I'm in.

Were you able to get root after the update?
[G Pad 8.3 General] ragflan:
Yes. I used the same method that I did for Kitkat. It's described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575783 (How to Root - Click to show Content). It's a simple process. You're basically:

Booting into Palman.img (TWRP) - Link above has the download link for palman.

Flashing SuperSu from TWRP. The link above, in the root section, contains the link to the latest SuperSU as well.

Note that you're only booting into TWRP recovery and not flashing so this is not a permanent thing. It goes back to stock recovery after reboot meaning future OTAs will still work.
[G Pad 8.3 General] needtoride:
This worked perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to help me out! :good:
[G Pad 8.3 General] techinv:
Internal storage used up, but not sure about that.........

So.... I'm running Lollipop rooted, with TWRP, and Sleekmason's kernel. All is working well, however I'm wondering if my method of upgrading from stock 4.4 to 5.0 may have messed up my internal storage. The method that I used to upgrade was to restore from TWRP backups posted on XDA from folks who had grabbed the OTA update.

Settings -> storage shows that I have less than 2gb free, but I have very few apps, I have less than a gb of audio, and only one game installed (Candy Crush :rolleyes:). The amount of free just doesn't seem right, plus I can see some repeated directories in root browser, /media/0/media/, Android directories on sdcard0 and sdcard1 (screen shots below). Has anyone seen this type of behavior their tablet? I'm wondering if I need to do a complete wipe and start all over, but with everything else working OK, I'm hoping that there might be a quicker fix than that. I already tried the restorcon command, that didn't do anything.
[G Pad 8.3 General] sleekmason:
Misc is your problem. Click on it to find out what is taking up the space. Mine is less than 200mb
[G Pad 8.3 General] aidfarh:
Try instaling DiskUsage app from Play Store and use it to see what's exactly using up your internal storage.
[G Pad 8.3 General] techinv:
Sleek:

Over 4gb of the 6 is TWRP, specifically my most recent backup. That size is about the same for a backup on my Nexus 5 so I assume that there is nothing wrong there. Is it possible to direct TWRP to store a backup on the external SDcard?

I know that I can transfer the data to a laptop, but if I don't have enough space to restore in an emergency, then the backup isn't really useful.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Thanks, is there a particular app that you recommend?
[G Pad 8.3 General] sleekmason:
Yes, while is twrp you can choose your backup location to /storage/sdcard1
[G Pad 8.3 General] aidfarh:
DiskUsage. That's the name of the app.
[G Pad 8.3 General] techinv:
All righty then, changed the location to the SD card for twrp and TiBu backups and I'm standing with over 8gb free of internal storage!! Feeling more than a bit embarrassed that the solution was this simple, but there you go.....

Interestingly enough, I had to manually delete the backups from the internal storage locations even after running successful backups to the SD card. TiBu presented a prompt to move the existing backup and I said yes, but no data was moved and no failure message was presented.

Thanks again sleek and aidfarh.

i just flashed my 8525 yesterday with xda live and i have a problem. I had to manually input my MEdiaNet setting (i have cingular) and also my MMS setting in order to be able to download pictures. ANd in the "servers" tab under the mms settings i choose 'new' in order to input the correct settings but after I hit ok it doesnt do anything? which leaves me with no mms capabilities since the correct settings do not exist. I love the new os that was released yesterday( xda Live) but i need your help on this one!

Re: MMS capability after rom flash

After several research attempts, I am unable to find a solution ot my current issue.

I used the flash rom to unlock sim and aside from the keyboard layout being changed (which I found the fix for and will try later tonight), I lost mms functionality.

There is no mms folder in the messaging application. There is no mms settings page, no mms anything at all.

I have not noticed anyone else having this problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you all very much in advance.

Both my dad's stock Sense m7 and my girlfriend's ARHD Sense m7 is getting the "com.android.systemui has stopped working"-message, and they can not use the phone. My gf's got like that during work when she did not pay attention to it, but my dad said it was an update and after that this started happening.

It keeps flashing between Home screen with no background, lockscreen with background, Home screen with background and so on. I can not run any more updates or launch any programs or do anything on the phone. Any ideas besides resetting it?

Update: It may also be that it's trying to update something and the HTC Update thing is crashing.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Hello XDA!

I'm about to purchase a note 4 tomorrow from Wind mobile here in Canada. I would have preferred the nexus 6 but its just not available with wind as of yet.

So my questions regarding the note 4 are:

1) The Note 4 variant would be SM-N910W8, will it allow rooting?

2) Does Samsung allow unlocking the bootloader to install custom roms or is just a root sufficient to do that.

3) I've heard of something called knox, and how it will trigger once you root the note 4. Will this have any adverse effects on app functionality such as tap2pay etc..? I know the warranty will be void, but if something goes wrong with the device its a 50/50 chance of getting it repaired replaced.

4) My reason of preference for the N6 was stock android, is there a ROM currently that is AOSP based?

5) Is there a specific thread i can go to find roms for my variant?

5) Is there a way to return back to a virgin note 4 (unrooted, stock ROM)? And even when that is done, will knox still reflect the trigger as 0x1?

6) Lastly, i havent been much of a fan of samsung because i felt they were pushing out "cheap phones" And i must admit, ever since they came with the metal band with their alpha and note 4. Ive taken a great liking to them. So my question (I do only expect general replies) , How are you guys/girls liking your note 4 so far?

Thanks in advanced!

(P.S sorry if some of the questions are stupid, i researched and dug around as much as i can but couldnt find definitive answers)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbuckk:
Rooting restriction is carrier based. Some carriers lock down from rooting, others dont.

Knox is a one way trip. Once tripped it stays that way. It is effectively a fuse.

Had my N4 for two weeks and am loving it. Came from a rooted S4. Not really missing root that much. Wish I could still turn GPS on and off with Tasker and wish I had better access to the SD card. Not big deals though. There is another thread here about non-rooted solutions to many things people want root for.

Might become more an issue in a couple years if Samsung/Verizon fails to do timely updates.

Best advice to new N4 users is learn to use the S Pen. It is what makes the N4 stand out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
1. No it doesnt allow rooting. get a 910U - so far it seems the least hassle.

2. no rooting.

3. yes once you try to root your warranty is void. for all purposes assume you will never get root. then again, you dont need root. in fact having no root and knox is much better. you can have a dual personality phone which works very well.

4. irrelevant. if you get the note 4 expect to run factory.

5. no. you cant have root.

6. you need a full case to hold it. its a thin glass panel. ive got an iblason armorbox for it. also would recommend buying the wireless back and wireless chargers. cables are too much of a hassle on this phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstay:
My recommendation would be little biased towards Samsung given my last four phones were all galaxy. I never had to root Note 3 but I rooted Note 4 in few days of owning it. Google must have thought let's give some punch to Samsung by disabling write access to external SD giving excuse of security as Samsung is the only high end phone manufacturer that still has it. And one of the most used function that was very important to me was copying files off network share to SD which no longer worked. Only for this I rooted.

I buy Note series not for amoled or big screen or good battery life or running AOSPs. I buy for SPen. I snap, print screen, doodle and write catchy text and share, adds that special touch. And that Microsoft One Note supported inking in android, I am loving it even more.

Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated!

While it seems most of you use the note 4 for its main purpose of being a multitasking phone. I on the other end just need the good camera, screen and battery. Everything else is gimmicks (for me atleast). However, this opinion of mine could be due to the fact that ive never owned a note before.

I did see some guides of being able to root the SM-N910W8 with CF auto root, as well as a way of bringing devices back to stock as i can see form this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/ref-stock-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2920452

Now, is that really the case or is there somehting im not seeing?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
you can NEVER bring it back to stock. the efuse blows once you root. Do NOT root a note 4 until youre familiar enough with knox to make the choice
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
By stock i dont mean resetting the knox fuse. I mean, if I am on a cusotm rom, i can bring it back to stock for warranty purposes (which I know after the knox fuse is blown, is a hit and miss)

So my question still stands, will I be able to root my phone based on the thread i mentioned above and be able to return it to stock afterwards, or is there something im not seeing there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lessaj:
I have a Note 4 with Bell so to answer your questions:

1) Yes. This is true for all Canadian carriers AFAIK.

2,4) Should be sufficient with just a root. I haven't been around for a week so I haven't caught up on new developments yet. I didn't see much in the way of AOSP last I looked.

3) This I can't answer but I know for example there is an XPosed module that will allow applications like GOOD to continue to work even with KNOX tripped/removed.

5) The W8 is similar to the 910T. I'm actually running DynamicKat with the KTNote4 Kernel. When you install DK part of the install script checks if your phone is a 910T or a 910W8 and installs the correct kernel. I had an issue with my initial flash of it bootlooping but I used the Stockish kernel from twistedumbrella that I had flashed when I still running stock rooted and backed up the boot image so I restored that boot image and it booted, then I flashed KTNote4 myself. Check here http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development and here http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/orig-development for roms/kernels.

6) Yes you can just flash a stock rom (should be floating around somewhere) but Knox will still be tripped.

7) Overall I'm absolutely loving it. I came from an S3 that I was running CM11 on with KT's kernel (seriously, his kernels are amazing!) and I liked it for a really long time but it started to get really sluggish and it just can't handle multitasking the way I'd like it. I do still notice slow downs, and the phone does still get pretty hot sometimes, but that's the price you pay for multi-tasking. KTs kernel certainly isn't perfected (granted I'm on a build from 2 weeks ago) and sometimes it will randomly reboot and bootloop at the splash screen but once I clear cache it boots right up. Usually only does this once it's been pretty hot for a while. I love the multitasking windows, that's exactly what I want. The one thing that threw me off the most was the DPI. It's a big phone, I don't need everything on it to be gigantic. So I did end up using the XPosed module App Settings to scale the DPI down to 480 from 640. There are a couple quirks when doing that, like the task switcher is smaller (since it was designed for 640 DPI) and there are a couple apps that you have to set back to 640 as well like the camera but you can always fix those as you find them.

I'm a firm believer that Android is a dev's playground. I could not use this phone happily without root. In fact, I rooted it the same night I got it within a couple hours. I bought the phone outright since I would have had to change my plan if I wanted to early upgrade and my plan is too good to do that. Happy modding!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seriously__:
Hello there this is my first post on xda I came here because you guys are android wizards :D

So that beïng said, I recently bought a phone again. And I was curious to see if I could use my android device to be recognized by the PC as a HID. Like the usb rubber ducky from hak5(modified teensy that emulates HID) . From what I understand you have to modify the kernel to do this. And after that find a way to communicate with usb (from what I've heard the API doesn't support this or something) I'm always up for a challenge but unfortunaly I only have experience with the API and I shure ass hell don't want to brick my phone. So where does a noob start when modifying the kernel? Or am I being ridiculous and it's way to difficult? I do have experience with c/c++ on windows..
