[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerRoyalDykeness:
Hi, A friend of mine just bought a s3 mini from another friend and we've found the phone has been rooted. After contacting our friend he doesn't even know what root is. But it was sent off for a screen repair a couple of months ago and came back with complete factory reset. Why would that have rooted the device (the insurance company) it seems unnecesary in order to replace a cracked screen.

I have two queries: a) can the phone be unrooted and how, none of us know how the phone was rooted or what was used.

or b) is there a way to still use the sky go app with the phone in its rooted state.

We also know next to nothing about rooting and not sure how to proceede from here.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpulford311:
I have the At&T version of the Note3. I've been rooting and messing with phones for quite some time. Is been a while since I've rooted a Samsung phone.

My question is. Is TowelRoot the way to root the phone or do I need the tar file through Odin??

I've read and can't really find an answer unless I've looked in the wrong place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgrbckr:

Is Towelroot safe?

I have read some warnings about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jae2014:
Yes it is an app that you download from Towelroot.com

It should work on Android 4.4.2

That is what I have and it worked

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Yes it is safe and because you are not downloading it from the Google play store you have to check unknown sources and so you get a warning saying that it may be malicious software or something like that.

Also, if you have an anti virus app on your phone like Avast it'll also say that the Towelroot app is a threat. Its not just ignore it.

To get root there has to be some sort of vulnerability on the phone's firmware for the root program to exploit.

I went from the nightly channel "back" to the lastest Snapshot, which is M11 at the moment. So far no issues after just flashing the snapshot over the last nightly. SMS app crashed but works now after erasing the app data.

Is there something else, that should be wiped or reset after switching from nightlies to snapshot? Of course a full wipe is might be the firts choice. But I don't want to backup and reconfigure everything again (and maybe restore some issues).

Is there any major difference or incompatibility between snapshots an nightlies? Should be the same structures, right?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] thomson.aa:
Hello

This is TWRP v 2.8.1.0 for the S4 Mini. It works for the I9195 - I do not know if it works for similar devices.

The problem was that TWRP after version 2.7.1.0 did not boot up - the phone tried to enter recovery mode but eventually booted into android.

This is because of commit https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/8471/ which does not seem to work nice with the S4 Mini.

DISCLAIMER : You apply this recovery at your own risk - if something breaks or bricks I am not responsible ;)

IMPORTANT NOTE :

a) The attached file is NOT a flashable ZIP and I will not provide one. You have to unpack the attached file and use heimdall or dd. If someone wants to provide a flashable zip - I am fine with that.

b) There is no F2FS support.

c) I do not know if there are still problems with the recovery sometimes not booting up - I tried it a couple of times and it worked every time. Tell us if you experience booting problems.

d) I am no coder - so I cannot help with things like encryption, luks or similar wishes.

How to install:

a) Boot your phone to download mode

b) Connect phone to PC

c) Get root on your PC

d) Unzip attached ZIP file

e) Check md5sum

f) heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot (dd should work as well - take care of the right partition)

Thanks goes to:

Teamwin

OliverG96

_that

Additional information:

If you want to build this by yourself from sources open file twrp-functions.cpp and search for line:

int TWFunc::Set_Brightness(std::string brightness_value)

You can change it like that:

int TWFunc::Set_Brightness(std::string brightness_value)
{
return 0;
std::string brightness_file = DataManager::GetStrValue("tw_brightness_file");;

This should fix the problem. According to one of the developers there should also be a flag for specifying a brightness file that one can probably set to /nobrightness.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] dulemars:
Works great so far, noticed only one (minor) issue:

I need to use encryption for my phone and for its backups as well (I'm a sysadmin and my phone is fully equipped to access my datacenter). When using keyboard to type encryption/decryption passwords, somethimes I hit one key and completely another key gets pressed, can't be due to fat fingers because wrong key that gets pressed is usually very far from the original one. This was very iritating sometimes since I needed to type passwords for 3-4 times in a row for them to work. Figured out how to prevent this, I look at whole keyboard carefully on every keystroke and I'm usually able to see when it gets buggy and hits wrong key (keystroke animation is trigerred), but this isn't very fast or comfortable...

I think I had the same problem with early versions of TWRP 2.7 posted here but it has been resolved in newer ones. Otherwise, works as a charm, if someone added full F2FS support it would be totally perfect :)

PS If my memory serves me well, fix was build.prop related.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Dr.Ghobar:
Hello

Recently while installing programmes on S5830, I confronted bizarre problems. I set to track the cause and found out that CWM 5.0.2.6 and the rooting software named SuperSU are in a bad conflict:

If CWM 5.0.2.6 had been installed first, when I tried to install Root.zip or Root_Cooper.zip, rooting did not take place because these two install SuperSu.

On the other hand, if I had rooted the system via above-mentioned zips or any rooting software which used SuperSU (like Wondershare MobileGo), and then I installed CWM 5.0.2.6, suddenly problems ensued such as clear button malfunctioning.

The solution is the following:

If you want both to use CWM 5.0.2.6 and to root your S5830 stock rom, JUST USE "SUPERONECLICK 2.3.3" TO ROOT IT.
[Android General] thevncore:
I'm having a new lenovo a3300. a few days ago I've rooted it. Everything goes ok until I replaced the framework-res.apk on device with the wrong (unintended) one. And now the device is bootlooping. It doesn't go further than lenovo logo anim, and adb doesn't detect it (no new devices in device manager). But I still can go to recovery and sideload from there. But every framework-res.apk in zip packages pushed to causes Installation aborted. Now I'm stuck with this one.

I've tried flashing many framework updates and even create one (+sign) but I always get "Installation aborted".

What should I do now?

EDIT: I've a backup before making changes, the original apk renamed to framework-res.apk.bak but now there's no way to access to the filesystem..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.free.studio.xperia.locker&hl=en
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furrydaus:
The phenomenon you encounter is mainly due to the fact that the Xperia SP has low RAM at most times and the lockscreen such as the z2 consumes quite alot of it. Due to low ram, the cpu will take a longer time to render and actually remember the preferences you set for the lockscreen because it will take a while before an application will initialize.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
I have successfully rooted my T230 and installed TWRP 2.8.0.1. I now want to update the Google system apps with the latest available. I currently do this on my HTC One X running CM11 with the PA-GAPPs from here. I also modify the .zip file contents with the latest when they come out - I usually check here.

Now I tried this on the T230 and the script starts but exits saying 'Incompatible GApps Currently Installed' - I wasn't expecting it to work to be honest..... :eek:

I still want to update the Google system apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app to the current ones as the ones in the OTA ROM are fairly out of date. I know I can let the Play store update them to the current ones, however I wipe the device frequently and would prefer not to have to go through this each time. There are apps on the play store that let you move system apps and to user apps and vice versa which I have used before however its a faf each time they get updated as you need to make the system app a user app, let it automatically update or manually update it yourself with the .apk file and then move it back to system/app.

I'd prefer a flashable .zip I can install from recovery?

Andy
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amangupta53:
Well, I haven't tried flashing a Gapps zip but I agree that the apps are really outdated and would be too much to update each time you factory reset/wipe the device.

One way of doing this as you have mentioned: Remove the current Gapps. But I'm not sure it works for the play services. But even doing this may lead to the same error while flashing the zip.

Second way, as you said yourself, would be to make them as user apps and update them and make them system apps again. Which would take some time. But it seems the best method here.

The last way, specific to your case, is to wipe the device, update the apps and finally make a nandroid backup. Next time, instead of wiping, just restore the backup.

There can also be other ways to flash the zip in traditional manner but I think it would require a chance in the updater script of the package. (While you're at it, make sure you're flashing Kitkat 4.4 Gapps and not L Gapps.)
[XDA Assist] Stryke_the_Orc:
Your symptoms sound like bad batteries honestly. The biggest giveaway here is that the battery drains ridiculously fast to 4% then lasts the "normal" amount of time. This is usually indicative of dead cells.

My suggestion, buy another battery, avoid the cheap aftermarket batteries, either go stock or a good quality 3rd party battery and see if it changes anything.

How long between flashes are you allowing your device to settle? Battery drain may appear high on fresh flashes for the first few cycles, this could also contribute to what you're seeing.
[XDA Assist] zulugulu:

Hello Stryke,

Did you had a chance to look through the screenshots? I might buy a legit Samsung battery, but just something tells me that could not work. I've already seen posts from people saying they tried replacing the battery with another original, but without luck.

I must admit that I didn't consider the time in between flashes as important (never heard about it previously). Normally, I would just copy my zips to SD, reboot to recovery, do a wipe and then flash.

Please tell me - what do you think about the charge time? Is 1 hour enough for a full charge?

I welcome any other suggestions!
[XDA Assist] Stryke_the_Orc:
Generally no, even with fast charge my note takes longer than 1 hour to fully charge. I'd try the new battery, that will at least rule out one possibility. Time between flashes can make a huge difference as well, especially if custom kernels are involved.
