Hi, I am having problems in rooting my S4 I9500 with baseband I9500XXUGNF6. I have tried Kinggo, iRoot, and Oddin to root my phone, but all have failed. I have attached a screen shot of my phones specs.

Can anyone help me in finding a solution to my problem, so that I can get my phone rooted. Thank you
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Here is a guide on rooting your device, read the first post carefully. You can ask for help here too,

Good luck !
[XDA Assist] Markanics:
Thank you Darth

I followed the instructions to the letter in the link you provided. However, it never worked. I failed to get it to load into the Philz recovery mode. I tried half a dozen times and still failed. I did a lot of googling and finally discovered why I was failing to root my S4. My S4 came with something called Knox preinstalled. Along the way, Knox had been compromised and had gone from 0x0 to 0x1.

I did a lot more googling, and I found the following link helpful: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-safe-knox/366118-solution-how-permanently-remove-knox.html

So for those who may have a similar problem to mine, this is what I did. I downloaded the CF-Auto-Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip?retrieve_file=1

I then extracted the contents from the zip file and used the Odin3-v3.07 that came with the zip file, to root my phone using the CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 file.

After doing its thing, it restarted my phone and auto rooted my phone before re-booting again. I now had a rooted phone, and I was then able to follow the rest of the instructions given in the first link I shared above to permanently remove Knox from my phone.

I hope this will be of help to others, and would love to hear of any other success stories like mine.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDerham:
Got the LTE version of the tablet on Monday. On powering up and connecting to my WiFi, it pulled down an update which I believe is for 5.01 (at least it now has 5.01). I took the device to the local AT&T store to obtain a nanosim.

The tablet works fine, but I cannot find the tethering and WiFi hotspot setting. It's not where it usually is. When I search "tether," the search takes me to to the "more" under WiFi and network settings which is where I expect to find this setting, but it's not there.

Does anyone with the LTE tablet see tethering anywhere on his device?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

I went to Verizon and T-Mobile stores. Each put a nanoSIM into the Nexus 9. In both cases, the Tethering and Mobile Hotspot menu appeared exactly where it ought to be. It's the AT&T nanoSIM that causes the menu item to vanish before my eyes. I spoke with AT&T and Google. Each asserted that the other caused the problem. This identical problem occurred with AT&T the last LTE-capable tablet marketed by Google (the Nexus 7 2013, see here). It's unclear whether subsequent updates or AT&T programming repaired the error in the prior matter. I'm a little baffled that the engineers would allow the same problem to re-occur.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealzam:
I've had this problem since day 1. In any other setup tethering appears, but when I pop in my AT&T SIM, it's gone. I had the same problem with the '13 N7 too. Unfortunately, this year's issue looks like it will never be fixed.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
It's something that AT&T asked Google to do and they complied. I asked Jean Baptiste Queru about this back when the Nexus 7 LTE launched 2 years ago and all he said was that he couldn't talk about it due to NDAs. Suffice it to say, he didn't deny that AT&T was behind it.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDerham:
Makes no sense for AT&T. Most of us have metered data plans. More tethering more data. AT&T claims that its allows tethering. If AT&T, after selling tethering as a feature, instructed a vendor to disable it, then potential of a class action would outweigh the gain. Regarding the Nexus 7, wasn't it eventually fixed?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Nope. It was never changed on the Nexus 7 LTE. It's right in the AOSP code. There are lines that specifically disable tethering if you put in an AT&T SIM. It's in an XML file somewhere. If you're rooted, you can change that line and get tethering. But, that means that Google is specifically targeting AT&T SIMs and disabling tethering in the ROM. This is most definitely not a bug, nor an issue requiring a "fix." It's very deliberate. The only plausible reason for Google to do this would be at the request of AT&T. We have no idea what agreements Google has with carriers, so the specifics will never be known to us. Regardless, this is most-definitely done on purpose.

From a branded device standpoint, AT&T never allows native tethering on tablets within the OS. They always make OEMs disable it and then provide tethering via the AT&T AllAccess app. The app comes pre-installed on every single tablet AT&T sells. You can download it on the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartcom. I'm not entirely sure that it'll actually allow you to tether, but that's what you have to use to tether on any AT&T-branded tablet.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scurrilous:
Hey guys, I got the nexus player yesterday and I've been seeing mixed results for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm simply trying to view movies off of a USB flash drive using an OTG cable on a non-rooted Nexus Player. Is this possible? I've sideloaded ES File Explorer and I can see the USB Flash Drive listed under the 'Local' panel of ESFE. When I click on the Flash Drive nothing happens. There is also a eject icon directly beside the text of the USB Flash Drive. I've tried 3 different flash drives 8gb, 16gb, 32gb, and formatted as exFAT, FAT32, and NTFS.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markcj5:
I'm having the exactly the same problem.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scurrilous:
I just saw a video that claimed that you cannot click on the USB using the nexus player remote. You will need to use a mouse to select the USB drive in ESFE. I haven't been able to test this as I do not currently have a USB hub. I'm ordering one today and I will report back if it works.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scurrilous:
So my powered USB hub arrived today and using the mouse to click on the flash drive worked!

I also discovered that you can add the USB to the favourites menu on ES File Explorer to get around the mouse requirement. If your USB shows up as usb2006 or 2007 or whatever, simply add usb://200x as a favourite folder. This will allow you to bypass the requirement of using your mouse. The only negative is that the USB number seems to change every time it's re-plugged in. I got around this by making favourites for usb://2006, usb://2007, etc..
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemino:
I have it working right now as a FAT32... But I can't to see what file systems are supported. It would see it with ExFAT, but nothing would work. FAT32 works, but has obvious limitations. Does NTFS work? Has anyone tries Ext4?

Sent from my Samsung GALAXY Note 3
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_Horvath:
I connected a USB hub to my NP so I was able to use my NTFS formatted external drive and my mouse at the same time. I found my video files on HDD by ESFE but there is no any media player app that plays 1080p MKV movies correctly. I tried ESFE's media player, V Player, MX Player... unsuccessfully.

Playback was always laggy and audio problems occured pretty often.

Does anyone know a good option/app for that?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scurrilous:
I can't post links but search for the kodi android app and sideload that apk. It works flawlessly.​
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Download VLC to play movies when you use a external drive or save them to the NP. That's what I do and it works great.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi everyone,

Two weeks ago when I got my Moto 360, I started using the voice commands and I was amazed by how well the voice recognition does its job. Then, only a few days later I was eating some pizza, getting my hands dirty, and then I noticed that there was an awkwardly silent in the room with a couple of friends, and the idea to play some tunes using my watch came to my mind. I tried saying some commands to see if it works, since I saw that we could assign apps to "Play music" voice action, but none of the actions I tried worked. I felt a little bit frustrated for a moment, but then I realized that it is quite simple to connect Spotify and the Wear Voice Commands. It was when I created this app: Voice Controller for Spotify. (Yes, I suck at naming)

Voice Controller for Spotify allows you to use voice commands to play songs on your phone from your Android Wear device.

Simply assign Voice Controller for Spotify as the "Play music" app on the Android Wear application on your phone, and start playing your tunes.

The application also allows the use of a native player instead of the Spotify App. Native player uses the BETA Spotify SDK.

A PREMIUM SPOTIFY ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED TO USE THIS APP.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voicecontroller

I published the app just a few hours ago, and I would love to get some feedback. Unfortunately the users that are able to use it are only the ones that have an Android Wear device and uses Spotify with premium, which kinda reduces a lot the overall amount of users, compared to other android apps. So, if you have a moto 360 and use Spotify with Premium, please check out the app, and if possible, send me some feedback, I would love to keep improving it and helping more users to break the awkward silent haha.

Thanks!
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
I've just been given a moto 360 for Christmas (love it!) and this is exactly what I've been looking for so thank you! Unfortunately, I cannot find it anywhere...

Any help on how to search by package name by any chance? :)
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
I edited the first post and put the link with a few spaces. Glad you liked it :D
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
Sorry, I haven't downloaded or used it yet. Thanks for the link, but it's supposedly incompatible with my device? HTC One.

Link to the app for everyone else

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voicecontroller
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hmmm, I made it compatible to the HTC One... Which version of Android are you using ?
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
Non-rooted 4.4.3
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
That's the problem. I released it initially only for 5.0+ because of the new Wear APIs, but I am currently working on supporting it for KK devices. It should be out today, or the next few days. Sorry about that ):
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
No worries! We haven't received 5.0 on M7 Three yet. Look forward to start using your app!
[Moto 360] tsy87:
hmm... ill have to try this out. Ive been trying out google play since its free for 6 months but I feel like spotify is still way more polished.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
[MENTION=3033023]mrgreeny[/MENTION] I updated the app and now it should work with any Android 4.4+

[MENTION=3184406]tsy87[/MENTION] Awesome! Please, let me know what you think. Any feedback is most welcome (:
[Moto 360] felacio:
Love the idea of being able to instantly play any artist by just saying there name. This is great... One issue though.

I have an LG Flex running 4.4.2 and when I have the option turned on to use the native player it crashes. It will pop up on the watch that its sending to the phone then the phone says "voice controller stopped responding" but moving it to use just the Spotify player will open Spotify and start playing that artist.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Thanks for testing it out [MENTION=465698]felacio[/MENTION]! The only problem of using the Spotify App is that sometimes it hangs/freezes when it is closed and you try to open it to listen to a track. But I am not so sure if this issue only happens on my Moto X running 5.0... Due to that, I created the native player that will basically use the Spotify SDK to play songs instead of opening the app. It seems that the native player has a compatibility problem that I am currently working on, so if you're on KK, keep using the Spotify App for now, and if you don't have the issue on its initialization, feel free to use it forever and ever :D
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
Thanks for this! Didn't work with the native app for me couldn't get anything to play with the native app open or not. Works fine with the Spotify app!

Problem though, I've asked it to play an artist and it'll play one song. But when I go to skip it, it seems to just pause because there's not another song in the queue I assume?

Edit: just left you a Google play rating, hopefully that'll start to get you up in the search results ?

Edit2: also, I'd quite like the ability to say "play music" and it play all of my music, it is just playing Charlie XCX - Boom Clap atm and that's not in my music.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Thanks! I just pushed an update that should fix issues with the native player, but as I said before, if it is working with Spotify app, you guys should just keep using it (:

Right now, I am just enqueuing one song and if you ask to play another one, the app basically skips that and starts playing the next one. But adding more songs or distinct new voice commands are on the list!

The planned features that I have on the roadmap right now are:

- Enqueue songs using "Play <artist/track name> next"

- Play a playlist using "Play <name or partial name of your playlist> playlist"

- If the first track finishes and there are no more in the queue, play more songs of the artist/composer of last song. (would love opinions if this is the best way to "handle" when the music stops)

I will definitely add your suggested feature to the list, probably together with the second one, since they are related (:

Note that some of these features might not be available if you are using the Spotify app. I need to check but I think you can't enqueue songs on Spotify, if you send a new song, it will just skip the one it is playing.

Again, thanks for the positive rating and feedback!
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
Sounds good! I look forward to it. I think the only perfect command for me would be a shuffle all music command, that's really all I use spotify for...
[Moto 360] vanda:
Hi Yurifariasg, your app is great idea, I like it. I downloaded now, but I have a still problem with app in my phone. App works well on my Moto 360, but on my Samsung S4 mini with Android 4.4.2 it doesnt work. Have you idea where can be a problem, pls?

Thank you, Vanda
[Moto 360] Ducaticorse:
Great app idea! Some feedback on my testing. Here's what I'm using

Moto360 updated to 5.0.1

Galaxy Note 4 on 4.4.4 (non-rooted)

Spotify Premium - Logged into the app

I set Voice Controller for Spotify as the music player in the Android Wear app. If I try to open the VCfS app on my phone, I receive an error message that says "Unfortunately Voice Controller for Spotify (BETA) has stopped." When I ask my Moto360 to play a song, it seems to correctly search and I receive the confirmation but on the phone side, I receive a notification: "Could not play song - Your must be logged in to be able to play songs on native player."

If I open Spotify, I confirm I am logged in and can play the track from within Spotify.

Hope the feedback helps!

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

I should add that if I use the voice command to play a song when Android Wear is connected to Play Music, it finds and plays the song no problem. It's quite slow, but it works.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi [MENTION=261072]vanda[/MENTION], Thanks for checking the app! The problem you are having is another issue with KitKat compatibility, looks like it was something on the way KK handle the views, it is weird that this issue didn't show up on the emulator and neither with other users before.... That's why is important to get this feedback from you, thanks for helping me out! I just pushed a fix for that and should go out on version 1.0.4, please check that out again and let me know if you run in any more problems.

Hi [MENTION=3306316]Ducaticorse[/MENTION], the native player is enabled by default on the app, and it requires you to sign in on the application. Since you could not open it (due to the same problem [MENTION=261072]vanda[/MENTION] had), you were not able to do that, and couldn't neither change the player (to use the Spotify app). This compatibility issue should be fixed on 1.0.4 and you will be able to log in to use native player or change the configuration to use the Spotify App to play your tunes! Please check that out, and let me know if you get any more errors.

Thanks!
[Moto 360] felacio:
New problem since the latest update. Now when I ask it to play a certain band it will say its sending the request and then nothing happens. Before this update it would send, about 2 seconds later it would pop up on the watch saying its now playing "so-and-so's song" and it would play, unless I had "use native player" selected and then it would just crash.

But now, nothing happens at all.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi [MENTION=465698]felacio[/MENTION], which version are you using (1.0.4?) are you logged in the app? Is it still crashing when you select native player and tries to use the app?

I didn't see any crashes on the developer console with the newest version 1.0.4, but maybe there's some hidden exception somewhere...

-----------------------

[EDIT] I just found an issue when the app can't find a track using the Spotify Web API, currently it just doesn't do anything, no confirmation, no dialog saying it couldn't found, nothing.. I guess this is what is happening to you.... Have you tried different queries with more popular artists?

I'll add a notification on the next version to inform the user when his/her query returned no results.
[Moto 360] felacio:
Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you. But it was version 1.04 and it was artists it found before and started playing, but that is all moot now because you released a new version and it queued just fine and even played using the native player without crashing. Haha!

Thank you for your prompt work, sir and if you ever decide to add a donate button to the app I'll hit it.
[Moto 360] vanda:
Hi Yurifariasg,

I can tell you now, that last version 1.0.6 works well on my HW (Moto360 and Samsung S4 mini with stock Android v.4.4.2). :)

Great job! Many thaks for that.

THX and Happy New Year,

Vanda

Awesome idea but i cant work out how to change the app in android wear? Using nexus 6 with lollipop

Maybe its just me being stupid
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi,

When the app doesn't show up on Android Wear's list, it is usually because the app is not synced with the watch. What I do when that happens (usually when there is a new android wear app), I click to sync apps (Android Wear Settings), and then reboot the watch, then a few seconds after the reboot is finished, you should be able to see the app in the list, and also in any launcher if you use one for your watch.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi everyone,

I just released a new version of the app, that should now include most of the features missing on the app. Please check that out and let me know if any of you find anything "out of usual" (:

Thanks!
[Moto 360] nadavfeder:
hi! first of all thank you so much for this app, that's exactly the one app i was looking for!

and here we go with the demands :)

1. do you think that at some point it will support the original Spotify app?

2. can you please please add control buttons to the watch? like play, pause, next, previous, volume +-...?

thanks again and keep up the good work! u got my good rating of-course.
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi [MENTION=3502512]nadavfeder[/MENTION],

I'm glad you liked the app! The Spotify app IS supported, the problem is that since I don't have control over the app, I can only "ask" it to play a single song, if you try to use it with an artist, or playlist, instead of playing, it will just show the list of songs on that playlist or from that artist. One alternative to this is to "listen" to the Spotify app and whenever it stops a song, then I send the next one... but this is too much error-prone and will most likely be kinda unreliable. That's why I preferred to stick using the SDK.....

The control buttons are supposed to be on the watch. Which Android version are you using? Do you see media controls in other apps such as the original Spotify app?

Thanks!

[EDIT] I forgot to mention, to use the original Spotify app, you just need to unselect the native player on the app settings.
[Moto 360] mrgreeny:
Will be checking this out after work, just updated the app! Thanks in advance
[Moto 360] iGotTheRuns:
Awesome app!

Phone Model: LG G2 VS980

Phone Software: 5.0

Wear Software: 5.0.1

I've been waiting on something like this ever since I purchased this watch. I've noticed a few things so I will report here, although I'm sure some of this might be slated for a future release.

"Play..." - As of now it appears I need to say "Play music," after assigning the Spotify controller as the primary music controller, to launch the app. After saying "Play music" or launching the controller via Mini Launcher, I can then say "Play..." This gets rather annoying when skipping songs or using multiple commands. For example, I have to say "OK Goggle" -> "Play music" -> "next," "OK Goggle" -> "Play music" -> "next," etc.

"Shuffle" - The way this feature is listed/worded on the Play Store might be confusing to some. I was trying to simply say "Shuffle" which didn't work, after music was already playing of course. I was finally able to get it to work by saying "Playlist Chill shuffle," for example. I assume it's the same for repeat?

The music controls randomly appear on the watch, allowing me to control it via touch like normal if needed. Didn't have enough time to test when and how this occurs.

It appears the user is not able to close the app when they are finished using it. I had to Force Stop it in order for it to close.

If I find anything else I will edit my post or PM you, whatever works best for you!

Thanks again for this app and keep up the hard work! Look forward to future updates. :)
[Moto 360] yurifariasg:
Hi [MENTION=4393372]iGotTheRuns[/MENTION],

What exactly happens if you just say "Ok Google, Play <artist>" ? Does the request not get redirected ? I know that sometimes Google does not send the request, and for some commands we need to explicitly open the app, either by saying "Start Spotify Controller", or "Play music", or starting using a Mini Launcher.

That is totally true! I will add this feature on the next update. So if you say only "shuffle" or "repeat" it will shuffle/repeat the songs in the current queue (:

I've noticed something strange as well on my tests, the controls usually shows up when you start a song for the first time, but sometimes it just disappear and does not come back.... I'm investigating this issue.

Can you describe better which part of the app you are not able to close? The notification? The Android Wear app? The mobile companion? What happens when you try to close?

Thanks again for the feedback!
[Moto 360] iGotTheRuns:
- "Ok Google, Play <artist>" appears to work for more famous artists, but it seems to just generate a Google search for lesser known artists.

- When a song starts playing it adds the music icon to the status/notification bar. Also, when you pull the bar down, it displays the controls exactly like Spotify, cover art with controls There is no "X" in this box nor is there an option to close the player from within the controller app. The notification does appear to close immediately for me today when I play Spotify from my PC.
