[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tweeny80:
I'm not in USA but believe I can help clarify. Unlocking relates to the ability to use your phone

on a different network than what it's locked to.

Rooting is completely different, it gives you total control over your device. However be aware that ATT version of N4 is locked up tight and cannot be rooted at the moment. May I spontaneously combust if my facts are wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
Hahaha OK well thank you I'll get it unlocked for starters. Straight talk runs on the ATT network so I'll get it unlocked to safe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eyesofice:
What is the best way to unlock a phone? Is it a similar to do like flashing via Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
You purchase a code, then you put in a different carrier sim card, then type in the code, and the phone is carrier unlocked. No flashing necessary.

Rooting means gaining access to the file system of your phone to install apps, delete files, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
If you have no warranty on your phone, you may be able to downgrade to 4.1.1, unlock, and run OTA updates to get back to KK.

I have the Canadian version (sgh-i317m) of the Note 2 that was running the latest 4.4.2. I used Odin to flash back to stock 4.1.1 which tripped the knox counter, unlocked, and flashed back to stock 4.4.2.

Hi,

My device the SGP511 has never been rooted and I updated already to the newest firmware which may be a bad thing cause I hear I have to unlock bootloader but I cant backup TA without root, so I am stuck in a catch 22. Am I able to go back to an older firmware, do I have to unlock bootloader and lose Sony warranty? What options do I have?

Edit: I wasnt clear, I want to get root access, which was the reason for this post
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
- Download .314 ftf file of your choice and flash it via Flashtool. (Downgrade)

- Root your device method you chooce. (EasyRootTool, Newroot, Flashtool, XZDualrecovery)

- Backup your TA

- Install XZDualrecovery

- Flash latest prerooted firmware for your device via custom recovery

- Do what ever you want with your device

Basicly no need to unlock your bootloader just to achieve root. You just need to downgrade to rootable firmware and then update it to the latest by flashing prerooted firmware via custom recovery. Or after you achieve root and backed up TA you could unlock your bootloader and etc...

How do I fix this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
EasyRootTool

You use wrong ftf file that is meant for Z2 phone. Download SGP511 .314 ftf file for example this one:https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 and flash it via Flashtool.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Anyone having this issue? When I receive a text, I swipe up to go directly to hangouts and after I type in my pin to unlock, it'll take me to the hangouts app, but I'll have to scroll down through hundreds of texts before I get to the one that was just sent to me. This started happening after the latest update of hangouts. Tried clearing data/cache and rebooting, but it didn't work.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smudger40:
I've got the same. I only started noticing after I'd updated to lollipop though. If I go to the normal unlock, then hangouts, it takes me straight to the message...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZhaLinth:
Same here. A work around is opening hangouts directly and not through the notification.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelkus:
Yup. Same thing and it is annoying as hell. Like mentioned before, going directly to Hangouts works, but it also negates the point of the shortcut from notification shade or lockscreen. The other thing that works is to just type your response and send it. It jumps to the bottom after you hit send. No good if you didn't get to read the sender's whole message, but if you already read it on the lockscreen or wherever and know your response it works.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyg946:
Yea, noticed all those things after a while. I assume it's a hangouts issue and not Motorola's issue? Because it was working as intended until the recent hangouts update...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowBeer:
I don't think this has anything to do with the moto x. It happens on my nexus 4 and nexus 7 and started whenever the completely revamped hangouts a few months ago.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Manually reboot into the bootloader (use the power menu instead of ADB commands), then connect via Fastboot USB mode. You can run the fastboot devices command to see whether or not you're connected properly. If your device serial number is output on the line below the fastboot devices command, you're good to go.

AFAIK you cannot root by installing SU alone.

My recommendation (FWIW) would be to backup all important data to your Sim card and do a factory reset.

Good luck.

Buy a new logic board my friend, your phone is done.

Please note, for SGH-I337, root with towelroot ONLY and !!!AVOID!!! trying to install TWRP or CWM recovery on your phone. we can use only safestrap.

Connect your phone in a desktop computer, 890GX AM3+ chipset (works for me every time I brick my phone, odin succeeds in flashing to stock) make sure you use USB3!

I don't know why, but this setup works for me without fail. Anyone else is welcome to try it, however I do not guarantee success. Just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you.

Unfortunately, they are different aspect ratios (First Gen is approx 16:9, exactly 128:75, Second Gen 7 inch is exactly 16:10) so changing the desc.txt resolution will not work, I'd have to resize completely. Some I may, others (like the Nexus animation, which has over 100 frames) would take to long. On a normal Andriod ROM, changing the desc.txt would just lead to a warped image, on stock Kindle firmware I've never got it to work.

So I made the same now :

- reflash stock recovery from 5.0.0 stock

- upgrade adb to 1.0.32

But when I try to sideload OTA ZIP file, upload stop at 60% and I have this error :

"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unespected contents.

Hi,

First, kies will not work if you've modified the device in any way. Also, Odin will not work if kies is running on your PC. So kill all processes of kies in your PC's task manager.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] starrider1300:
I have a Nexus 7 (2013) that I installed an Android 5.0 lollipop ROM on. I also had TWRP recovery installed. It was working fine. I took the OTA update for 5.0.1. It would not install with the recovery installed. Long story short, I believe I wiped something I shouldn't have. I can install the factory images using WUGS toolkit. The tablet boots and I can do the set-up. Wi-fi works, bluetooth works. I can't download files from the internet, I get a No SD card message. The play store, camera, gallery do not work. Trying to use the gallery I get a No Storage, no external storage available message. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:

You should learn how to flash manually with fastboot, as you can see toolkits are not always helpful.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] starrider1300:
I tried flashing with fastboot with the same results. When I go to recovery, all I get is the red triangle.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] meekrawb:
At the red triangle screen press power button and volume up at the same time and then let them both go. That should get you into recovery.

Or you can flash a custom recovery and use that.

Hopefully the factory reset will fix your problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] starrider1300:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fury683:
I would try downloading the factory images directly from Google and flashing the whole thing. Once that flashes, you can run Chainfire Auto Root (CFAR) to get root back, if desired. Or you can flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU from within TWRP.

It sounds like your partitions may have gotten FUBARed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iTz.Ranga:
I would highly recommend just staying with the "full" releases of ANY OS on any smart phone, as any x.x.1/x.x.2 etc can have more bugs than what is trying to be fixed in the original (not all cases, but some)

Using NRT I would suggest dropping back to 5.0 and COMPLETELY setting it back to stock (re lock boot loader, stock recovery, no root), then doing it OTA (if thats how you prefer to update) THEN re-root, re-unlock etc

Or just stay on 5.0 until something like 5.1 comes about
