G870A on OF2 update

Looking for info on if the AT&T Galaxy S5 active with update OF2 can be rolled back to the kit Kat to be rooted.? I can't find any info other than how to update to OF2 if already rooted.

Thanks so much!

Help with stuck 870a

I tried rooting by this method, and I am stuck on the bootloader screen. All i can access is the download option and the recovery bootloader. When I try to restoreto stock(G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5), Odin gives me the error fail (auth). This is my only phone, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Good day guys.

I just wash my XZU screen, put some soap and rinse it. After drying it with towel I notice some dark shade in the upper part of my screen and I knew it was water inside my screen :( After I noticed it i put my phone inside a sealable plastic then put some desiccant silica gel bag inside.. I notice that the darker part (lower part of the screen) was shrinking but very slow, while the upper did not change. :crying:

As of now, it is 9 hours there inside the bag.. WIll it remove the water??? And how long should I it take? BTW the screen is working , the phone was turned off and flaps are close. :crying: Any suggestions???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] melcali:
Do u still have the stock anti shatter film on?

Maybe you should also try rice.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Yep it's still there.. should I remove it?

Yea I read some thread using rice to dry their phones.. OK I'll add some rice...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Can I use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the remaining water inside the screen? Im guessing that the water enters from the top speaker of my phone..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
Help please :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] motoi_bogdan:
unfortunately water got inside the phone, more precisely inside the lcd module, between 2 of the polarizing films beneath the actual lcd panel. once there it will dry up over time (maybe a week or more) but in most cases it will still leave some marks - spots or gray dots because of the fact that plain water contains impurities that get stuck between the polarizing films and cannot be removed.

the shatter prof film is applied over the digitizer module, therefore over the entire lcd module, removing it won't have any effect in solving this.

back when i was servicing cell phones, the only way to fix this was to disassemble the phone, remove the lcd module, disassemble it and manually clean the polarizing films/light diffusers. it can't be done for all phones and some of them have fused screen assemblies that cannot be opened.

in any case, there is only a small chance (let's say 10%) that the water will dry out and not leave any contaminants inside the lcd module. however some sort of improvement could be seen over time, even if, most probably, the screen won't recover to it's initial performance.

interesting however... why water got inside a phone advertised as practically waterproof? were all flaps closed? any marks on the water damage stickers under the flaps?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hristcroixqwerty:
I really don't know the exact reason why it got inside but im guessing it enters from the top speaker. And yes all my flaps are close, and no traces of water inside the flaps, sticker is still white.

I was really dissapointed actually, i didn't even submerge it on water! i was just WASHING my screen.

Anyways, water inside was all dried up, but i notice my screen got darker just a little bit. Good things was, it was the entire screen got darken. So no spots...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mathieulh:
Never use soap on a waterproof phone as it usually eats through the membrane that prevents water from going through the speaker/microphone.

They even tell you not to use soap or any other chemicals in the user manual.

IP58 certification is supposed to be valid for Fresh water, not water laced with other products (not even salt water in fact), it also does not protect your phone against mid to high pressure jets of water (such as the one going straight from your tap). Next time you will be more careful when handling a waterproof device I hope.

Hi all,

I am tearing my hair out with a strange problem atm: every time I sync with Activesync, it sets my time and date to over one month ago (10th Feb today).

I have checked regional settings and time/date on both PC and PDA, but they are both fine (set to UK GMT).

I can ask Activesync not to sync the time/date, but then the calendar syncronisation does not work.

I have re-installed Activesync, but not effect....so I am at a loss.

I am tempted to re-flash with WM5, but was wondering if anyone had seen a similar problem before I do.

HTC WIzard

Faria's WM6

Activesync 4.5

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pogle:
I had the exact same problem.

When syncing to pc my wizard clock changed to 11th feb every time!

I've got a CID locked G4 so I used the wizard love rom as a base rom before using the shelltool to install faria_wm6.

Funnily enough, when going back to the wizard love rom the initial date was 11th feb.

Therefore, the conclusion I've drawn is that there's some sort of incompatibility with the wizard love and the faria_wm6 rom.

I've since went back to the wizard love rom then shelltooled Most Beautiful Edition instead and it seems to work fine!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] smccaldin:

Don't want to spend another 3 hours re-flashing my phone if there is no need :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] eluth:
May be a bug in Faria's ROM... who knows...

I have a similar, but different problem.

I have the DST patches installed on both my WinXP system and my Wizard (Orwell-custom based).

Synchronization works, but it's sets the clock of the Wizard 1 hour back.

I'm in GMT-8, we are already DST, but It's like the PC knows about it and the PDA is still in Winter Time :-(

Don't know if this is related with the bug you see in Faria's ROM or different.

time problem faria WM5 aku 3.3.0.0

Mine went to 16 november 2006 every now and then. I notice this first when the Bluetooth icon disappears from the today screen, Then I recharge and powercycle the MDA and then the date is 16 nov 2006 - which obviously causes AS to cause trouble. I guess this is indeed something related to Faria's rom since my AKU3.3.0.0 -WM5 has this. I will move to WM6 soon and hope this does not appear anymore - but if it does I hope it is resolved/ overtaken by a new cook.

[Android Apps and Games] debugger22:
Hello folks,

We've been working on an Android app called Waeo. It helps create 'flexible' playlists - which means you can add music from any device you want to your #CLT playlist without having to bother about physical transfer. If you don’t have a copy of the song, that you feel like listening to, you can easily queue up an online link in your playlist of local music that will stream the music seamlessly, without you having to move an inch. Social twist : Have friends over? They too can connect & contribute to the playlist by adding songs of their choice. So it's useful for individuals and multiple users.

We need help in testing the app before public launch. So, we wanted to welcome volunteers for beta testing. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have lost almost 11gb because of using incorrect PIT file while I was trying to update my S Advance to official jelly bean firmware. After that I don't know but it was not booting up at all and it was almost bricked. I had to approach local vendor to repair it. They repaired but now I am struggling to get the lost space back.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tkitez99:
So basically the issue is that if the phones battery dies, the battery will not be allowed to get enough charge to boot the OS. What happens is when I plug the phone in after it dies it begins to charge for a few seconds, then "Safestrap is disabled" shows up and tries to boot to the OS then the phone shuts off. I cannot go into recovery either. If I press the power button again the same thing happens. So, basically safestrap is not allowing the battery to get enough juice before the phone boots. The only way to remedy this is to put the phone into download mode and let it charge for a while. This is annoying because I need to plug the phone into a computer every time the phone dies. Anyway around this? I'm running Pure Nexus 4.4.4 and safestrap 3.75. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Plug it in while it's off, hold power, wait for it to vibrate. Then remove the cable, but don't plug it back in until the Galaxy splash comes up. It should be able to turn on off the little battery left and the charger, and then it will continue charging.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slater22:
Here is my situation, I have looked multiple places and have found many mixed answers.

My friend purchased an HTC One m7 from the "Chinese ebay" when he was living in China. He was given an HTC One m7wls, which from what I can find is the sprint version. He's now back in the US and he tried to do a factory reset which made the phone useless, broke the recovery and relocked and unrooted the phone.

I have unlocked the phone again, rooted it and got it working with a Sprint RUU based on posts in this forum. The problem is he has purchased a tmobile SIM card with service. The phone sees the SIM, sees the apn's but never get service. The same thing was happening before he did a factory reset. The radio shows an x and does not receive a signal at all.

The CID is currently SuperCID and the MID is now set to the sprint MID, it was set to blank beforehand. I did try to use a tmobile RUU but it would just bootloop.

The only thing that works that wasn't working is the Google play store and services actually function now.

Any suggestions on getting it working on tmobile if possible?

Thanks for the help!

Hello all,

I have lost the USB connection to my Gear 2 Neo watch.

When I plug it into my computer - the computer does not seem to connect: no USB connection prompt appears and I do not see the watch from the file manager either. SDB devices shows no device . Charging works

This has worked before - all I did was to do a factory reset on the watch...

I have reinstalled the samsung USB drivers (got a warning that they were already installed - reinstalled anyway), but the watch still does not show.

USB debugging is enabled...

Any ideas?

Thank you all

Wow. Found the answer... The USB cable I have used was the culprit. Used a different USB cable and now it works...

*/

CyanogenMod statement modified, very useful for this!​

Hello folks, I'm elaborating this thread as an index thread where DEVELOPERS can find TESTERS for their ROMs/Kernels/Tools before officially posting in XDA Development Sections. The idea seems to be profitable and worthy because I haven't seem this kind of thread out of the 'apps' sections, and I think it will organize and make our development threads greater without things that don't even work. It will help not just devs, but all the community.

DEVELOPERS ---> Read post #3 for information.

TESTERS ---> Keep reading this post and reply this thread to get in the INDEX.

But how this is going to work?

Well, the best arrangement I could find to make it easier is listing for each variant it's testers in the post #1 as people reply/feedback their respective variants and their willing and possibility to be testers.

In my point of view, to be tester you need to fit some parameters. So, here we go.

You need to know how to deal with possible problems that maybe these stuff can cause, like BOOTLOOPS, SOFTBRICKS...;

Have a good knowledge to feedback errors;

Don't change/sell your cellphone fast;

Constantly use XDA, thirty minutes to one hour a day is enough;

All related to the world of custom (Kernels, ROMS, etc...);

Know XDA politics and rules (end of the post).

If you fit these parameters, which is probably possible you are ready to be a tester. CHECK OUT once more to be sure.

G2 Variants Specifications:

D800 is the AT&T US variant;

D801 is the T-Mobile US variant;

D802 is the Global variant;

D803 is the Rogers Wireless Canadian variant;

D805 is the Latin America variant [D802];

D806 is the Argentina's variant [D802];

LS980 is the Sprint US variant;

VS980 is the Verizon Wireless US variant;

L-01F is the NTT DoCoMo Japanese variant;

F320S/K/L are the Korean variants.

Example of reply (just need to specify your variant):

D802

And then I'm gonna add your XDA profile link in the second post on the correct variant. So devs can ask you using a PM to test whatever they have to test and it's up to you ACCEPT or not.

So, all this stated we can start this party by using the second post to link the testers profiles as you feedback your G2 variant.

[G2 General] GalaticStryder:
Developers:

If you are a Developer and need a tester for something you're building, you can request them on this thread as well, in two ways:

1st ---> Post a reply to the thread with information about whatever you want to be tested, and then testers can reach you by PM. See post #8 as an example.

2nd ---> Just PM directly the testers you want without replying the thread if you don't want an opened testing.

You can, of course, be both, tester and developer.

I hopefully want this to be simple and helpful for everyone.

I'll make my ROM compatible with F2FS and MultiROM, already have the right commits for that. I think won't need to patch the .zip once I have already patched in the sources. I don't know if F2FS is going to work well with MultiROM, but it should. My first test builds will be ready when I delete CM theme engine broken code that I inserted and when I fix the public API being broken, like this: http://pastebin.com/7Fa9i7Qt.

I have rebased to PA because of the RRO Theme Engine, sounds very clean in the sources.
