well, there is no need for removing battery, first backup all your data also in internal storage , Use triangleAway to reset your counter for Official system status and getting OTA updates, download it , open and grant it supersu, click reset flash counter , when its done , power off , press vol down plus the power button it will say promt to continue , click vol up to continue , install usb drivers on your pc , connect your tablet to pc , open odin it should say added in the white info box , click on PDA and select the stock rom file "tar.md5" you downloaded from sammobile and then press start wait for it to end and then reboots , after that unplug your tablet , hold on your power button it'll reboot now quickly press on vol up + power again then release power when you the tablet logo appears and then in recovery select wipe data and perform it then click reboot and voila you got your stock rom back

I have another issue with my tablet.

When the flashing was done and the device was rebooted, my tablet starts with white screen. unfortunately i am not able to add the link from the outside of the xda forum.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jlover:
Just got NOTE1 from friend who jump to other SS note family due to this one so lag.

Have upgraded it to stock rom 4.1.2 from ICS last month. Anyway, battery life and speed still so bad.

After play around for some more week (never try any custom rom so far) I found small trick (which I wish it become a big trick across other Android device). I just "REMOVE" SD card out from the slot, reinstal app to only internal storage. I got a very good battery life and faster speed.

I post this small trick just to ask someone who have time to prove this. For stock rom I get a good improvement. So it will be a hug help to those custom rom who has good optimization already.

If my understanding correcly. The other phone don't have external storage bay (like I-phone) has better performance in this two espect, may be from this (not)special feature.

Thanks.

reluctance to custom rom

combine with a few power saving option such as, disable voice command, hi galaxy, 2g/3g, etc. we will easily get longer battery life.

have use Wakelock. found the 'MS Exchange service' and 'voive command' in 1&2 top list.

hope this simole trick effective to other mobile also. they can extend their battery life, not to trow away their battery fast, help save environment.

for me i feel reluctance to go fo custom rom now though having search a few days ago.

[LG Optimus L90] joeyiii:
I have a D415 that I managed to get rooted and get CWM installed. On my D415 (as well as my last phone a P569) I had the same nagging issue. In order to increase available space I installed Link2SD and formatted my SD card with a fat32 and ext partition (ext2,ext3,ext4 tried them all). Everything seems to work fine with one nagging issue. I always get a message about "no /sdcard/.android_secure found" whenever I created a nandroid backup. Restoring the backups always seemed to work fine except when I would replace the SD card with a new one. I partitioned/formatted a new card with a fat32 and a 2gb ext partition. Then copy a nandroid backup that I made before the change from my PC to the "external_SD" card, then boot into CWM recovery and install the backup. I would get the typical messages about skipping sd-ext and android_secure. Then boot normally and discover all the apps that I linked to the SD card with Link2SD would not be there and I would have to reinstall them with Titanium backup and relink them with Link2SD. I've been looking through various forums but I can't seem to find anything describing how to make a backup of the files that I linked to the SD card with Link2SD. I've been to the Link2SD site and read through the FAQ but this isn't addressed. If there is a way to do this and can someone point me to it. Thanks in advance.

[Xposed General] oernii:
Hi, I have a new Note4 N910F with CF stock rooted and twrp phone and I really wanted xposed on it :) Unfortunatelly after installing it bootlooped. I could easily disable xposed and boot normally.

The bootloop problem: SELinux labels

I didn't disable SELinux, but relabeled binaries that xposed installed. I believe, this should be done by Xposed while installing the binaries:

130|root@trlte:/ # restorecon -Rv /system/bin/
Relabeling /system/bin/app_process from u:object_r:system_file:s0 to u:object_r:zygote_exec:s0.
Relabeling /system/bin/ddexe from u:object_r:system_file:s0 to u:object_r:ddexe_exec:s0.

after this, the phone started normally WITH xposed installed.

heey you guys

i been spending alot of time for this battery fix and this is what i did

since i was upgrading it to 4.4.4 odin gaved me error when i try to flash 4.3 stock after failed custom mod pack by Kik0o and DrKaOt. thnx alot now my warrenty is of and device keep binary 2 and rev 3

but i dont like 4.1.2 4.3 android system on the s3 battery drain problems wifi and more of those **** message keep updating....

so i did install stock 4.4.4 kitkat and when i installed all my apps and stuff i made a backup

now i did install Galaxy s5 Project

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/stock-galaxy-s5project-t2854464/page25#post57509866 So all the credit go too this guy:)

i did not clear my factory reset or wipe dalvine cache or anything was recommend by this guy this option in Philztouch recovery cause need Gapps default otherwise wont work its give googleplay service apps ect crash

waited for device to completed before i reboot did a factory reset and its working when i put my phone of it just charge my battery

why now factory reset? otherwise device has too launchers and crash the screen and you cant go in your own system

The device works and looks like a galaxy s5

my apps i can set back easily so i dont need a backup for my stuff:) after weekend trying installing apps is not the hardest part

ill hope this fix works for more people that have 4.4.4 installed it wont work on early version like 4.1.2 4.2 4.3

I'll post soon a screenshot have to find my webcam:)

no matter with theme i used 4.3 inst working proper on newer device so Kik0o and DrKaOt. go to the moon with your modding mess:) you brick device and make crap that never works even when its for 4.3 device its a shame that you been called modders instead you messing up code's and dont even look at the harm the device can do

sorry for this last line but realy hate people who think there can make something and ITS NOT!!!!!!

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Offline charging wasn't working before in your case because you had an old bootloader (from sammy Android 4.1.2 or Android 4.3.x). Since you upgraded to official Android 4.4.4 with Odin, your bootloader has automatically been upgraded and that's why offline charging now works. It's the only reason.

No, bootloader is only upgraded when we flash official firmwares with Odin or OTA.

Didn't you previously say you upgraded to official stock 4.4.4 with odin ? When you bought your phone wasn't it with an unofficial stock 4.4.4 by any chance ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] rubenownz:

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Yes seems weird but having an official 4.4.4 firmware with old bootloader is not a normal situation. It means that you was not fully official since bootloader is upgraded when you flash with Odin for instance.

Then I fully flashed my xt1056 with the xt1060 rom (VZW_XT1060_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25.2_CFC_1FF.xml) in rsd. Now the phone is 4.4.2 and no signal, but it is 4.4.2, I can get my SPC with the app SPCUtility.apk.

After get my SPC, I was fully flashed the xt1056 (ghost_sprint-user-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.28-28-release-keys-cid9.xml with rsd to upgrade 4.4.4) again and works well (need to unlock the network again).
[Moto X Q&A] DarkWolffe:
It really doesn't help me that you have the Sprint version. The AT&T bootloader can't be unlocked. At least not to my knowledge.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Downgrading with an unlocked bootloader is no different than locked... Extremely dangerous.

And the poster above who downgraded, then upgraded again... I would not take any OTA's going forward. Or you might get an unfortunate surprise.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If you have 4.4.4 on an ATT device, right its bootloader can not be unlocked at this point.

As for flashing, as many have said IT IS NOT SAFE to downgrade, unlocked and locked bootloader included.

There are parts that are included with 4.4.2 and up that prevent downgrading. Because of this, under certain circumstances when trying to downgrade (like from 4.4.2 to 4.4 or lower, or 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 or lower), you could either brick your phone, or set it up to brick in the future when you take an upgrade.

In the case of some who have bricked by downgrading, flashing the latest (4.4.4 currently) SBF via mFastboot commands, with a few extra steps, has been enough to revive the phone. Other times, not.

For as many stories you might see of "its safe" or "I've done it", a future OTA will likely get them. Plus there are many more who have created "I bricked when trying to downgrade, HELP!!" threads.

A few Examples of bricked while downgrading:

And why do you think this thread exists? -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

I'll quote myself from another thread (in reply to someone that had an Unlocked bootloader)...

Again, this info applies whether you have an unlocked or locked bootloader.

So it is suggested you just stick with what is on your phone once you get on 4.4.2 or newer.
