[XDA Assist] theking722:
I made a full nandroid backup on twrp about a week ago which included every option including EFS, when I went to (fully) restore the backup due to a faulty ROM it got stuck at 36% and wouldn't continue, I left it overnight to see if it would work and it did not, so I pulled the battery out and went to re run the restore but it has dissappeared, it wasnt on my SD card anymore and I couldn't figure out what had happened so I restored a different backup that only included data, system, and recovery, and when I booted my phone it said it was in Factory mode right away, but it didn't have the yellow text in the background, I have access to my cellular network but when I turn WiFi and then open an app that uses it, the phone instantly shuts off, I was reading online that the EFS was corrupt but the whole folder was empty, not a single file in it. I can't find anyone else who had the same problem and would greatly appreciate any help, I'm quite desperate to get this fixed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blarrick:
Hey everyone. I recently got my GS4 and it came with NC5. I'm simply attempting to gain root, debloat and remove the annoying software update popup. Should I update to the latest version and then use towelroot to regain root, and then manually debloat? Is that even possible, or did the latest update patch towelroot? Or should I stay on NC5 and flash a safestrap rom? If so, which one is the most stable? Would prefer maximum debloat, but stability is priority, dont want any hotboots or hard restarts. Any help is much appreciated as I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjetil84:
Hi

After getting S-OFF via SunShine, I changed mid and cid to be able to install Google Edition RUU zip.

I then typed 'fastboot oem rebootRUU', and tried to flash the ruu zip file.

It gave me an error, as expected from the guide I was using which told me to type the same command again.

But the problem is that I cant find my device in fastboot anymore. I am still able to find it in adb when in recovery.

Info:

HTC One M7 GSM Norway

Original CID: HTC__Y13

hboot version before flashing 1.57, and after flashing 1.54

After I rebooted I noticed the bootloader had changed colors from white background to black background, green, red, yellow, orange, purple fonts etc..

I am completely lost here, have tried rebooting the computer and so on. Nothing seems to help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjetil84:
Solved it by using a live linux cd with fastboot installed.

But it was strange that it didn't work on either the laptop or the workstation, because it did work on both before the s-off.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
Ok, I know this is the m8 thread 1st off. I own a m7, S-off'd, unlocked boot loader, rooted, etc. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ACCESS TO A PC FOR QUITE AWHILE, SO PROBABLY NO ACCESS TO ADB/FASTBOOT for me.

I am prepping for when the Lollisense update comes for the m7, and I have everything figured out as far as getting back to stock (STOCK Rom & recovery, so I'm OTA-READY) & taking the OTA .

Now here is the problem, Once I'm updated to lollipop/Sense, with no access to a pc, is there any TEMP-ROOT that will work? Long story short, plan was to Use something like TowelRoot or Weaksauce 2 to Temp-root JUST LONG ENOUGH TO USE Flashify to flash TWRP back onto the phone and then flash supersu to gain perm-root again.

Now here's my question/ favor to ask anybody with a M8 and on the stock Lollisense Rom- Can anybody test out WeakSauce 2 or TowelRoot to let me know if either of those Will work on lollisense, or does Anybody know the answer to this???

Again, I know this isn't the M7 thread, but the M7 hasn't gotten Lollisense yet, so nobody in our thread can test.

Any help and/or feedback would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can flash TWRP using terminal emulator.

Put it in the root of your internal storage (by in the root I mean not in a folder) and rename it to twrp.img

Launch terminal emulator, then type this, hitting enter after each line:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34

You don't need a PC or Towelroot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
Dude If this is true, u just SOLVED my WHOLE PROBLEM..

..But, 1 last question.. I've never had to use a Terminal emulator on the phone, Doesn't it require root access? Or no?

Because once I flash on stock Rom and recovery and then take the ota update, I'll be stock without root and no pc. So if you're saying I can use Terminal Emulator WITHOUT root to flash TWRP so that I'll BE ABLE to flash root , THEN U JUST MADE MY DAY
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No you are right. I was having a **puff** and didn't pay attention to your details. The "su" command says it all. I read it, then puffed, then thought "that dude can flash TWRP without a PC!" like an idiot not thinking of you going back to stock/unrooted.

Sorry to get your hopes up buddy. :eek:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
While it might have not been true, you don't need to go back to stock to take the OTA because you are S-Off. That is one of the best features of being S-Off. Go SuperCID and flash the new firmware through hboot or ADB.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
That's the WHOLE problem... My kid fried my pc and now have no access to adb or fastboot. Without a pc, I've completely figured out how to get back the stock odex Rom, flashify to flash stock recovery, take OTA, ETC.

BUT, that's where the brick wall comes. Once I take the lollisense update, ill n without root, on STOCK recovery, and won't have any access to adb / fastboot, so I'll not be able to get root back Unless there comes a temp root method that will work on lollisense, (which seems highly unlikely).... Cuz if I have temp root, I could just use it to use flashify to flash TWRP back on , then supersu... Hmmm, hopefully 1 of my m7 brothers will post a rooted lollisense nandroid 4 me

While this is good news, it should be taken with a grain of salt as "Unlocked" means no carrier affiliation. You have a while to wait before the US Carriers trade bloat filled test builds back and forth with Samsung. Then they still need to decide when THEY want to send out the OTA.

I agree with you. The only viable source I have found is this youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Samsung-s-Smartphones-and-Tablets-Android-5-0-5-1-Lollipop-Updates-ETA-List It lists the S4 CDMA (which is the sch-i545) for MAY/JUNE of this year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokuzumi:
No. You really only need to wipe data if you are having issues after updating. Chainfire has an app that backs up data, and does a pretty decent job, although when I used it 6-8 months ago, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to use it. I don't think I've ever wiped data prior to taking an update (when I wasn't rooted).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokuzumi:
This happened to me.

Only other thing is with notification sounds. I have been using sound events stored on my SD card. Even though the phone can see those notifications, and the default notification is set to one of those sounds, it defaults to the Samsung sound event. Seems to only be an issue with my default notification sound.

Other than that, the update has been great so far. May just be placebo, but the phone seems a little faster. Battery life is too early to call, but the battery life on this phone wasn't all that great, anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
i have no idea where itd be located. check partition size differences see if u can narrow it down that way... more than likely stored in data with a script in cache. sounds like the first zip is an ota for nk4 firmware which then allows the phone to be updated to the build LRX22C.I545VRUGOC no idea why a 2 part ota is necessary or why they cant just go straight to goc

Anybody know where I can find a stock NK1 full wipe tar? This update is not happening and I figured out why:

When NK1 came out, I unrooted and tried to take the update. FAIL.

In desperation I used the full wipe tar to get me back to the version prior to NK1. The result was it didn't wipe the phone but it did let me take the NK1 OTA update.

In that process I lost the SD card fix, something I desperately need.

I made the decision to Root NK1 just long enough to reapply the SD card fix.

Now here I am again in the same boat.

Now that Google has addressed the SD card write access in Lollipop I no longer want/need root. I just freaking want lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
sd card fix? weird. havent had to worry about that since nc stock. but sammobile.com or any search button on google or xda will show you where to get the nk1 odin tar you need, rather than asking someone else to do a search for you, maybe you should try doing that.
