You can try to include a PIT file in your upload to repartition internal storage. Also You can try to do the upload using Heimdal instead Odin. To use it you cannot load tar file directly but you have to unpack it to individual bin files. Have luck!

Thanks for the replay but can you please provide the correct links for the both files and the procedure ?

also i read somewhere that if the procedure fails after using the pit file the motherboard could get damaged !

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warlordni:
Anyway, i just tried it with the pit file (I9100_2GB-STOCK.pit) and same thing happen ... got stuck at boot.bit in Odin...

will try Heimdal now, as u suggested. any link or tips on that would be great...
[SuperSU] kjnangre:
Hi. There is a thread here where we are wondering if SuperSu full unroot is enough to allow an OTA to succeed (assuming no other mods were made to the system other than root) (Nexus 6, Lollipop). There is speculation but hard to find a definitive answer on the subject. Anyone here able to shed light on that? Thanks!
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
It depends.

OTAs can update various parts of the system in various ways.

Previous to Lollipop, updates to the system partition were usually (but not always) done file-based. Which meant that if you removed/renamed all the modified files and put back their originals, the OTA would work. And thus, SuperSU's OTA survival option and/or the unroot option would allow OTAs to complete.

Partition-based OTAs have become standard with Lollipop. Some OEMs have used them before (different implementation), but it was rare. This new style OTA does not patch the differences between files, but on the underlying partition contents. If you make changes to a partition's filesystem and then revert them so that all the files and their contents are original again, this does not actually mean the partition contents are completely the same. In fact, just remounting /system read-write and not making any modification changes the partition contents - that specific change is actually the first thing these OTAs check.

If the OTA is partition based (which by far most OTAs upgrading from 5.0 to something newer will be) the only way to guarantee the correct contents of the system partition so that the patch script will succeed is to reflash the entire partition.
[SuperSU] Frank Westlake:
I wonder if that is because of problems from rooted devices and modified System partitions. They now replace the entire partition to ensure a successful update.

Is that because some people leave '/system' read-write or is there some residual change even after the partition is returned to read-only. In other words: if someone remounts '/system' read-write and immediately returns it to read-only without any writes to it, is there some detectable change that remains.

Frank
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
No, it's for dmverity. A kernel-based security system that verifies the system partition contents are as the manufacturer intended. It requires the partition contents to be predictable and verifyable on block level. See https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/secureboot/index.html for further details.

Yes, there is.
[SuperSU] Srandista:
From what I can see though (in updater-script), in current OTA for past Nexus devices, they are still file-based, even for 5.0>5.0.1(2) upgrade path.

This is not truth for Nexus 6 and 9 OTAs, which are partition-based from day one.
[General Topics] forphucksakes_1:
Hi guys,

As some of you are maybe aware of, broadcom released the documentation to their Videocore 4 chipset not long ago making all videocore 4 based SoC's, for all practical purposes and intent, open source. As such I was thinking of porting a linux distro to the GT-S7580; this will allow for continuos updates & extension of its lifecycle to beyond a smartphone.

Doing a cat /proc/cpuinfo on the GT-S7580 produces a Hardware : hawaii_ss_kylepro rev0000. This(hawaii) apparently corresponds to the BCM21664/T CPU and not the 21855(capri) as wikipedia originally indicated.

So I did some kernel "spelunking" on the opensource.samsung.com source and found that (unfortunately) the GT-S7580 device kernel does NOT use DTS. This means to actually compile vanilla for the 7580 I would need to some how include all the board files into the vanilla kernel OR create a DTS from the board files that I found; neither of which is a simple task from what I understand.

I have also however , in the process found that the device kernel does have a .dtsi file for the 21644 and a .dts for another board that uses it(kyleve == GT-S7392?) Oddly enough there is also a board file for the kyleve version.

So I've read up quite a bit on devicetree.org/free electrons but the task of writing a DT is still quite daunting to me. Seems like the main HW difference is in RF(HSPA etc) , camera specs; so Im thinking that they actually use the same pcb?? Can the dts for the 7392 used instead?

Im not allowed to post links since this is my first post but here is the post I made on CM that has inline pastebin links:

http(dot)//forum(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)org/topic/103336-dtsi-compiling-vanilla-linux-on-samsung-gt-s7580/

Can someone help me create a dts from the board files? Or show me how? Is there a board-->dts generator?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi, I have been reading through stuff on here for the past few days trying to find a solution but nothing has worked so I registered to actually post. I have had a Siemens SX66 since August 05 and until lately it had been working ok. I started to have battery issues a few months ago, and finally last week my SX66 refused to charge. I was away from home and using a travel charger, and was trying to search for any existing problems with that. Well, while I was searching I came across the wiki and found the uni-directional sound patch. It didnt solve my immediate problem but I have had the uni-direction issue every so often so I filed that away in the back of my head. So I got home, put my SX66 back in the cradle and it charged no problem. So once it was charged I decided to apply the unidirection sound cab figuring I might as well fix that while I remembered it. Being that genius that I am though I didn't back up my original ROM, and now I can only get sound on phone calls and through my headphones when the SX66 is plugged into a charger. I tried upgrading to ROMs 1.40 and 1.42, and I even found the official Siemens 1.33 ROM somewhere and tried to reinstall that. I have also been trying every single CAB I can get my hands on relating to audio (being careful to back things up before I change stuff now) but my audio issue is still there. I saw someone say that if you turn on BT you should be able to get audio, tried that and it didnt work either. Any ideas or suggestions would be great, or if there is a Siemens ROM out there that I have somehow missed (I have been wading through the FTP site looking for anything labeled Siemens/Cingular). :confused:

Thanks

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HotHail:
So I somehow got Amazon to rollback my device to 13.3.2.5, I then rooted my kindle, put safestrap on it, backed everything up, and installed the Nexus Rom. Now everything was going great, until I saw the CM rom for Kindle FIre HDX. I thought "Hey, everyone loves Cyanogenmod" and on the forum it said it added support for safestrap, but apparently not. I flashed it (AFTER I BACKED EVERYTHING UP.) Then safestrap said "Fail" and it instasntly rebooted. Now My kindle will boot, stay there for around 5 seconds, then turn off and boot again, and bring me to a screen that says "Kindle Fire System Recovery". ADB will not recognize it no mattter what I do, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, because whenever I'm in command prop in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" in CMD and I run "adb shell" it returns "No devices" I would really like to get my kindle back. If worst comes to worst I can send it back to amazon, but it would be easier to see if I can fix it. Thank you for all your answers ahead of time. Oh and please do not tell me to "google it" because that's what I've been doing for the last 4 hours. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Qwertimus:
So I Tried to root my newly acquired I717, using this method

"How To: Root AT&T Galaxy Note i717 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 " on You Tube by mooneyb123

I tried on my macbook but I wouldn't recognize the note in Jodin. So I used my Fiances pc.

I had to install keis as the video did not mention that., But it did instal TWRP, which is awesome, But when I tried to instal the CWM-SuperuserSU-v0.94 file nothing happens, it appears to work fine and says successful but when I reboot and check for Root its not rooted.

I've tried this 4 times now.

I don't know what to do next

I want to root to get rid of the ATT bloatware, and possibly overclock. I might try a stable rom like padawan later but I mainly just want to root. Is their any way to do it with TWRP? or am I going to have to go another route?

Also can I odin CWM on or do I need to wipe the device to factory first. The main thing is I don't want to brick it as I am using the phone daily.

I tried what I thought would be the "easiest" looking way to root, but since it didn't work, I need some advice.

How do i get it back to stock recovery If its not rootable? I am running 4.1.2.

I did upgrade soon after I got the device but am wondering If I could have rooted it easier on the original version of android.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

is their any way I can do it with

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sophie36:
So, I dun goofed trying to change the default font on my Ellipsis 7 after rooting it, and now it won't get past the Verizon boot screen. Since it's such a cheap, generic tablet that no one wants to make anything for, I can't even find a stock rom for it. What should I do? Is there even anything I can do?

I used Root Genius to root it and I tried replacing the Roboto fonts manually. I have the fonts backed up on the internal storage in the fonts folder, and I've backed up my data to an SD card and wiped it off of the internal memory. That didn't affect the system folder, though, so I still can't do anything. I really don't want to buy another tablet, but it might be a better idea to do that since there's practically nothing out there for the one I have.

UPDATE: Since no one has said anything, and I can't find any roms online, I'm looking for anyone that even has an Ellipsis 7 so I can make a flashable .zip from another tablet's /system folder.

[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
I have persistent issues with the touch screen.. it is unresponsive and inaccurate (I touch one part on the screen.. it "ghost" touch another region instead)... I am getting really annoyed by that... It's due to dirt around the sensors I think (cuz when i clean it, it's better) but I can't prevent dirt from getting on the sensors! Are all ebook touch screens like that?
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
You are correct, this problem is happening due to buildup of substances (dirt, sand, dust, etc.) around your Nook's screen sensors. If you cannot prevent these substances from getting on your screen, try putting your Nook in a case with a pocket cover. You can carry a microfiber cloth in the pocket to clean the screen when needed.

And yes, all eBook reader touch screens which are eInk act like this.
[Nook Touch General] OverByter:
Actually most newer e-readers have a capacitive layer for the touch screen instead of the infrared sensors along the edge. I would recommend that anyone experiencing these issues search for and download Renate's app for testing your NST screen, It'll show you exactly what sensor is having problems and allow you to try and correct them.

OB
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
Thank you for the FYI!

Would you care to link/attach the app you mentioned? I'd like to try it.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Download Touch.apk in the signature.

Also UsbMode.apk now shows touch coordinates too for a quick check.

It will also work with non-Nook-specific stuff on any Android devices (up to Lollipop).

The screenshot below was with a Nexus 9 using 10 fingers.

The number of points your device can follow may be anywhere from 1 to 10.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
Here's a screenshot of what my NTG displays when using 2 fingers - strange that it still displays coord's instead of "2 points" like the Nexus 9 shot you attached does (except with 10, of course).

EDIT - By the way, [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION], don't you think it's probably time to put com.temblast.reader.apk into your signature? ;)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I didn't think there was enough room to show 10 sets of coordinates.

That's why you only see the first two sets.

After that, it only shows the number of touches.

Um, about the Reader, I have to see what the latest version is.

The development has gone off in a direction that probably is not useful for most users.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
Ah. Well, that's definitely logical. Thanks for explaining.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] WL8789621:
1. First reason

After many years of owning latest smartphones I know very well which application I cannot live without. So after using pathed versions - for a (long) test purpose - just bought them. So - no need to root from this point.

2. Second reason

Stock UI. Been trying many ROM's with good or bad results and realised that there are never ideal custom soft for your mobile. They caused always some kind of trouble. Maybe the reason is I'm getting older and have no time to dig into system, but lately I decided to stick to preinstalled firmware and as the only modification - to change unuseful Galaxy launcher on similar Galaxy one from Play store. So again - no root needed.

And yes - I got my Note4 rooted. There are two reasons I did this:

1. To get a possibility to add any application shortcut to the bar on the right side. I know I can jump between applications by using the task touch button on the left side but I love to use the bar on the right. Much easier for me.

2. To get access to my SD card. From this point root will be always needed I'm afraid.

I've rooted every android phone I have.. The note 3 took me about 8 months of non root use before I rooted to try custom ROMs.. They were great but not essential.

The note 4 running stock no root seems to be rock solid. Produces good enough performance to run anything with ease I chuck at it.. I like root apps. But deem non of them essential in my daily use of my phone. So in my opinion. This phone right now doesn't need root.

Ive been rooting all my phones the xouple of years and tried allmost every rom. Now i have my note 4 since yesterday but i dont feel the need to root it. Its just fast the way it came with touchwiz. And for the first time i dont disturb the touchwiz it just works on this beast.

So in my opinion i shouldnt root it to make it faster.

I'm gonna wait for lollipop, and then at least a few updates to that before I root.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lorddeadxiter:
It depends on what you are doing with your phone. If you use mobile banking I recommend you DO NOT use root if so use as much protection as you can. With root you basically control anything - change design, control behavior of you device, control it's CPU and GPU, using different ROMs and more.

I've rooted my S4 and with awesome tools on XDA I was able to revert it and with USB jig make it totally unroot without any evidence of change.

It probably will be on Note 4 however Know could be problem.

I use root, I've SuperSU Pro and also I use Eset Antivirus. Mainly I use Xposed and fantastic X-Note ROM. Also what I love about ROOT is backup - simpy in recovery like TWRP.

Anyway it still depends on you what you wanna do with your phone. You can live without it in stock but at least Android 4.4.4. in Note 4 with Stock ROM is pretty junk on RAM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
Just a personal preference. I specifically root all my devices for two main reasons.

1 adware programs

2 hotspot

Those 2 reasons usually are the only 2 for me. The warranty thing i feel like it doesnt matter for me. I use to keep the sprint insurance on my phones and if i had a prob i could just take it and and get a replacement or repair. Sprint hasnt ever told me they wouldnt fool with my phone because it was rooted. I just bring it in with stock software and most of them dont even know what root is. I swap around phones so much now i just dropped the insurance all together because i figured i was paying 130 dollars a year with the rate increase and i wasnt benefiting from it. I hardly ever use any kind of hotspot and sprint makes u pay 20 dollars extra a month. I dont think i use it enough to justify paying that. I can go 6 months easy without using it. Its just those few and far between cases where it comes in handy.

My 2 cents
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Johnmcl7:
I didn't root my Note 1 or the Sony Z Ultra but I've been looking into rooting the Note 4 due to the phone interface being far too large for the size of the phone screen, the Z Ultra was correctly scaled to suit the larger screen so it made the Note 4 feel very cramped in comparison. I've used the adb trick I found on this forum to adjust the DPI without root which largely works well, it mucks up most of the Samsung applications which is fine as they can be replaced aside from the stock camera application which is meant to get the best out of the camera. The only solution seems to be to root it and set custom application specific dpi's although I'm not finding the misaligned camera screen too much of an issue.

I was lazy about rooting my Note 4 for a while but as soon as I did I realized I should not have waited as long as I did. There is some really solid, stable, streamlined ROMs available right now.

No...no LOL...deactivating the window animations always does help a lot to prevent lags. Afterwards everything is much more smooth. It's the first thing I always do when setting up a new phone / custom rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jlczl:
I think that's what most knowledgeable people do when setting up a new TW phone. The LOL is because that doesn't eliminate the lag that is there. There is so much discussion about this all over, I don't really want to start it all over again here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daffie:
Won't start all over again, not my intention at all. Of course with TouchWiz there unfortunately always is (has been) a certain amount of lag (and imo far too much!), but at least with deactivating animations it is a whole lot less...definately workable.

I come from HTC One m8 (and M7), as well as Nexus 5, and this is my first TouchWiz device in a very long while. On my former devices there was no lag present, with the same settings, whereas on the Note4 there will remain some lag (regardless of animations set to off). Rather unfortunate, and pretty incredible for a device with octacore CPU + 3Gb RAM. Shouldn't be the case at all. But having said that, with animations off, the lag is so much less and the phone is speedy and smooth enough for me. Hopefully (and I have been reading a few reports stating) Samsung will be slimming TW done a lot on future versions.

Here's hoping this will be in the relatively forseeable future :)
