[LG Optimus G Pro] uWayPtomaine:
First time post in xda forum.

Hello everyone, my device E988 with LG official 4.4.2 (Taiwan version)

I faced three problems:

1. external_SD problem: it was detected but non writable and cannot mount in cwm recovery

2. status 7 error "geefhd4g" as I flashed zip files.

3. cannot mount as USB storage in cwm rec.

senarios:

cwm recovery 6.0.4.4 ( after root ). I tried to flash Carbon 4.4, Bliss 5.0, straightly flash philz_touch rec. but all failed with status 7 error. So I extracted philz_touch rec. , insert one line text

getprop("ro.product.device") == "geefhd4g" in

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, and re-ziped the recovery.

Then I flash the re-ziped recovrey and reboot recovery, three problems I mentioned were disappeared.

so now my device is eating lollipop now. :D

I think those problems is come with the wrong or incompatible recovery, so after I flash the touchable recovery, everything is OK.

I attached the revised zip below.

Hope my experience can help someone with similar problems,

BUT!!! Before do what I do,ensure the zip-files you want to flash is suitable for your Device.

Finally, thx for all who dedicate to ROM development and so on

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
This is more of a general ATT thread, but it does relate to my note 4.....

I have a one plus one, and my note 4 and from day to day I want the flexibilty to swap phones as I see fit. It used to be move the sim, and you're good. Lately, I've see issues when I moved my sim from phone to phone.

The first was last week, I bought an alpha clone off of craigslist and voice would work, but data would not. I dropped it back into my one plus one, and same thing, no data. Went to an ATT store, and they did an IMEI swap on my account and all was well in the world. Years ago, the IMEI swap on the carrier system kinda just followed the phones and wasnt ever an 'official' thing...but now it seems it is. Any ideas on this, can I swap my IMEI online with ATT?

Obviously I did a search on it, and it takes me to the ATT website, but it looks more along the lines of swapping when you've made an official order, not just because you want to. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Clienterror:
Change the sim card. When I went from my g2 to a nexus 5 I swapped the sim when I got the nexus 5 in the mail and data wasn't working ect. I go down to the AT&T store and talk to the same girl who's actually on the ball there and we found out that if you have an ICIS sim card it won't work on phones they don't sell. Just get a generic lte sim and see if that fixes it. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thanitos:
The Sims that are blue are lte Sims don't get the ones that are purple those are isis
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
Is that what ATT is giving out by default now? I have a nano sim (that i got for that nexus clone) and it works fine in my OPO. If I put it in my note 4, I only get 4G, not LTE, which I thought was odd. I can do as suggested, just want to make sure I understand first...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thanitos:
All att Sims are lte capable but the purple ones are softcard (isis) compatible, meaning they have the correct security features for the use of isis enabled devices
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
ok, so he meant isis above.

I think this is just a standard att LTE card...its orange...and it DOES work in my OPO, so I think that theory is out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thanitos:
Call customer care and give them the imei of a phone that supports lte and have them add that and just not change the sim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] zoso28:
The Isis/Softcard is a problem as described above, but there's also a "nextgenphone" feature that goes on your account with newer phones (along with your normal data feature) and newer phones are using that with a related APN so it could have something to do with that new feature. Haven't figured it out yet but I'm playing with the system & I'll post what I find. So far all my secure sims have changed phones fine. My Gear S gave me a couple problems but I'm not sure if they were related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
Interesting. When I went to another ATT store a few weeks ago to change to a nano sim, the rep changed some codes on my plan. I got this in an email:

DELETED MOBILESHAREVSL64VT

ADDED MOBILESHAREVP20

Last night I went to a different ATT store than usual, and found out they were just a partner (though you could never tell it) and he said there were a few wonky codes on my plan, one of which mentioned something about APNs...so maybe youre on to something. He was under the impression it was grandfathered though, so it was old. He could, of course be wrong.

He also tried his SIM (oh and I have a non-secure sim) in my one plus one from his moto x 2014 and it worked just fine. LTE and everything. He put my sim into his X, and got 4G only, no LTE.

So he swapped me back into a non-secure micro sim, just to try things out again, and I left the store with my one plus one working. I came home, dropped it into my Note 4, and got 4G only, no LTE. When I put it back into my OPO, I got a text message saying I needed a new sim to work with my phones new feature. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] zoso28:
The original feature is just normal mobile share data but I'll have to look up the second one I haven't seen that in the system. What i know is that once you put your sim in a newer phone (last few months) the system auto adds that nextgen feature & you end up either needing a secure sim or have to put the correct imei on the account
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
So that sounds like its our culprit.

If i have a secure sim for my note 4....can I move that to my OPO? I've heard no, but I've also heard yes...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jrtireman:
I have been swapping my Sim card that I got with my Note 4 with my Note 3 Nokia 1520 and my Gear S. I have had data act up but only with the Note 4. Everything else has worked fine. In the Note 4 what I have done is add the older apn and toggle to that apn. Let it pickup the 4G lte icon or whatever it is. Got to phone app settings advanced settings and make sure you don't get an error. Then switch back to the Nextgen apn.

Worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
For Christmas I got an iPhone 5s for my daughter,to replace her iPhone 4s.Its been so long since I've used an iphone. Christmas morning she opened it.I told her just swap your Sim card,she came back down kinda upset and said it didnt fit.Now I felt bad,ATT isn't open nothing I could do.I remembered once I took a Sim that was too small and crazy glued it to a iPhone 3g Sim tray and it worked.So I googled cutting an iPhone 5s Sim card,and there's actually a template you can DL and trace where to cut.For some reason my printer didn't want to work so used a ruler and the dimensions that were on the site,it was micro Sim to nano sim. I got really sharp heavy duty scissors and cut it,sanded the sides and corner,even the non contact side because the nano is like a hair thinner,fit right in sim tray and worked perfect.I've offered to give her my S5,nope lol these kids and there Iphones.And that phones IMEI was on my plan that day,it was an ATT phone from someone who recently got a 6plus that I got it from.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjsupe:
I have tried to root this using Root with Restore by Bin4ry and the KFFA toolkit and I am having no luck. The thing just recently updated to FireOS 4.5.2 on Dec 13 (The build number is 11.4.5.2 or at least that's what it says in the root checker program). After trying to root using KFFA, now if I try to load any game or go into Silk browser and try to type something in the address bar it reboots. I can get into ES File Explorer and The Washington Post app just fine, it just seems like the games and browser are causing the issue. I am thinking about trying a factory reset but really don't want to go that route if I don't have to. Are there any root exploits working for this kindle and FireOS version yet? What could be causing the kindle to reboot when loading a game? Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjsupe:
Just tried something else, looks like it is not Silk Browser, it is the keyboard that is causing the reboot. I brought up ES File Explorer and tried to search for something and it rebooted as well.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjsupe:
Well, oddly enough it seems to be working now, not sure wtf is going on, but I still need to get root if possible on this thing.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Erai Dev.:
Probably you installed an app that causing wake lock. There are a lot of theads about wake lock, but for you to know is some background process that don't allow your device to enter in deep sleep. Unfortunaly, android is like that, if you install a bad app you going to have issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dlang123:
Yeah maybe, but with KitKat and no root, ferreting out problems is much harder. Seemed to be mostly fine before the last two updates I got.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Thats crazy ... Android OS should not be anywhere near that high a percentage. Have you tried reatrting your tablet a few times if not I'd say factory reset and see what happens. I must say this Tablet has had A LOT of people complaining about battery issues - seems like a product fault somewhere. Fortunatly mine is still gojng strong hopefully that doesnt change.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dlang123:
Yeah, it restarts itself when I pick it up and the battery was completely drained. Yesterday I had 6minutes screen on time, and was dead within 2 days of unplugging it. Bought an iPad for Christmas. Can't decide what to do here. Android seems to always have battery issues with the solution being "Factory Reset it". Annoys the heck out of me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dlang123:
So, after a data wipe. Minimally installed and syncing apps, the 2 day drain is gone, replaced by losing about 3-4% at night. Now decisions. The deal was I was suppose to sell my Android tab here, and buy an iPad due to battery frustration woes. Well, it was the deal with my wife. Now I am thinking of just keeping both of them. Wonder how long I can hide it. iPad still destroys the Note 10.1 2014 on battery life....but there are a few Android things I want, e.g. Stylus, Share menu, that I believe Apple or app developers on iPad will fix soon.

I would have posted this to the thread it is in but I do not have enough post to be able to post in the Development forums yet.

I was very glad when I found the thread [RECOVERY][mojo] TWRP 2.8.2.0 recovery Mad Catz M.O.J.O. in the MOJO Development forum. I was hoping I would be able to find a custom recovery solution. I was able to install the image and root my MOJO. Unfortunately though I am unable to boot the image using

fastboot-windows.exe -i 0x0738 boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-mojo.img

When doing this from cmd prompt I get the TeamWin splash screen but then it goes back to the Key driver not found.. Booting OS screen.

Can someone please explain how I get into recovery mode?

Odin still sees the galaxy nexus when i connect it to the laptop but cannot do anything... everytime i try to flash any rom it fails. any help please?

[Xposed General] SkywalterDBZ:
Can anyone please help me to install Xposed on a Droid Maxx (4.4.4)? I've been searching for over a hour and finding information on how to root a Maxx or how to install Xposed on a Maxx is nonexistant. It's like this phone doesn't even exist. Even as I sit here now typing into the "find a device" prompt at the top of this very webpage, Droid Maxx is not even listed.

P.S. - Reading Xposed's own description, it mentions that it only needs root to modify a file, then no longer needs root after that point. I would totally accept an answer that lets me achieve just the ability to do that. I don't need boot loader access or anything really high level. I just need the absolute minimum rights to install Xposed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try it two times always fails at the end.

Any other method or have to wait for updated version of CF-Auto?

Does BNL7 has some locked bootloader security or so I cant mod anything neither root it now... :(

Lastly to let you know that now I'm in Stock G900FXXU1ANCE, dowgraded from BLN7 to BLN2, then ANJ1 and then ANCE. On all of them I have been trying to root or put a custom recovery, used CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f, openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-klte or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte with same results always Failing Odin at the end of process...

Even after downgrade, could these be the issue?

Made a little progress here,

As I'm now on G900FXXU1ANCE I used towelroot and finally gain root access it Work :) installed SuperSu from Gplay and then finally made an EFS backup with samsung tool...

But still dont know why it does not work all other methods and ODIN rooting and cant have a custom recovery neither...But for now I feal a little safer having my EFS on Dropbox to be sure....

Will keep playing trying to get a working custom recovery so to flash customs roms later...But looks like I will have to wait for updates now...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:
This is the story that I heard and followed, after which I got root on bln2:

You can only get root on Samsung Lollipop with SuperSU v2.38 and above,

but

the only 100% sure way to flash SuperSU v2.38+ is by flashing it in Fusion TWRP 2.8.2.0.

So you do it like this:

1 Flash rom in odin

2 Flash custom recovery in Odin (CWM/TWRP doesn't matter)

3 Now boot custom recovery and flash the Fusion TWRP 2.8.2.0 zip file

4 Reboot recovery

5 Flash SuperSU v2.38+ zip

6 Enjoy root

Are you trying this site for the ftp (Hermes Uploads)? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Hermes.

Or this one ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extracted_Radio_ROMs/

Both started downloading ok for me.

Why do you want to upgrade from 1.34.00.10 to 1.35.00.11? From what I've read in some of the other threads the only benefit the 1.35 radio has is that it is GPS enabled - not much use because the Hermes is no good for GPS.

I've made the above statements from paraphrasing others because I haven't compared these radios and don't need GPS - so I'll be happy if others correct me.

Maybe a bit of reading (probably lots really:( ) could save you the time of an un-necessary upgrade - but probably finding the info will take longer than flashing the rom!!!
