[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] PlutoDelic:
Thanks a lot for this one.

From what i read, CWM is not being maintained anymore, so it leaves us with TWRP only atm.

Any chance we'll get 2.8? it has grown quite fond on me on my main device.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] gody420:
nyc dat u liked it... ri8 know i just know to port things, i dont hav any experience in compiling, so if i find any similar device wid latest twrp 2.8 il try 2 port it [MENTION=4695607]PlutoDelic[/MENTION] redownload it now, i themed it ...(material theme)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Endroyed:
Nice! Is this a touch screen enabled recovery like the 6.0.4.7 version of CWM. It's the one I'm using now and I'm pretty happy with it. But I also like to try this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] gody420:
​

s its touch based recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] ash12141:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] GlauberMSP:
Is to be congratulated ... ooooo excellent work :Good: :Rir: :Highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Endroyed:
I haven't tried this yet, but above pictures look pretty cool for what I know of a recovery and its appearance. Those are pictures of TWRP's interface, right?

Is this better than CWM? Why and why not?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] PlutoDelic:
CWM is not maintained anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] gody420:
NEW UPDATE (TWRP v2.8.0.5)

latest twrp 2.8.0.5 coming soon..... and if possible i'l theme it real material style....
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] PlutoDelic:
2.8.5.0 :P

Really glad for your work gody, 2.8 came right on time when PhilZ stopped his work too.

Also, it would be good if a few people which have the new 8552 with the new recovery could pull it so gody can bake one for you as well, unfortunately i have no idea how it is done though.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] gody420:

I have installed, but the phone not enter in recovery mode.

EDIT: working now, but recovery not found the sdcard.

I tested 3 sdcards, but the recovery not found none.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Sayan44:
Flashed it long time ago :) Thanks for the reply anyways :)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] PlutoDelic:
for some reason. 2.8.5 wont see sdcard but emmc instead? and nothing seems to flash from there? hmm
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Mr Curious:
twrp looks nice using it now thanks for this :)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Lorennn:
Hi, does someone know if this recovery works on GT-8550l?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SpaceMan013:
The recovery is not entirely bug free.

BUGS:

There is a problem with the keyboard. The key output is not accurate. It recognises a neighbouring key to the left of the one actually pressed. The 'ok' key cannot be pressed as all clicks near it result in the spacebar getting pressed.

The file manager is whimsical. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes only a blank screen is seen (the internal file manager, not aromafm).

The file manager (whenever it works) doesn't show all locations and partitions, for example, /storage, /mnt, /cache are gone.

In the logs, it displays error: "/sdcard not found" in red color text but continues with the given task and finally completes it.

In the reboot menu, if 'reboot theme'is pressed, the recovery freezes, and the battery has to be removed to restore functionality of the device.

The material theme colors cannot be applied as whenever a color is selected, it displays rebooting recovery but the phone reboots normally instead of rebooting into recovery. After reentering the recovery, no theme color changes are seen.:confused:

So is it possible to run the stock 44 ROM alongside a LP ROM in Multirom? I've been away from the OPO for a few months so I figure things might have changed. Thanks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
I tried some LP based ROMs with KitKat as my primary ROM, but secondary LP based ROM doesn't bootup

And same is true for vice versa..
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.

this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff ;)

This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)

This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!

Steps:

1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.

2- Download This file to PC and extract it.

3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.

4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)

go to check the system status, you will find it Official

you can now receive OTA.

Q&A:

What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.

What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.

- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.

- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.

and some times xposed.

- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.

- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.

and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data

you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...

you can root again at anytime.

check my thread for rooting if you want

im not responsible for any bricks
[Galaxy S 4 General] KillerJM249:
thank you...
[Galaxy S 4 General] yagneshlp:
Bricked.. wat to do?

If i am bricked, will flashing the official rom again solve the problem??
[Galaxy S 4 General] S_7:
Thanks alot ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
What kind of bricked? Soft brick like bootloop?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
Your welcome!
[Galaxy S 4 General] TG09:
Hi there,

Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.

Just a thought.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
Done ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] leap_ahead:
if i flash custom kernel i will still get update with this ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
I didnt test it, if you can do please confirm, and if you cant get an update just flash the stock kernel (boot.img)
[Galaxy S 4 General] leap_ahead:
If i remove some files on rom i will get update .?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] sak500:
didn't work. still shows custom and doesn't check for the update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel
[Galaxy S 4 General] sak500:
So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .
[Galaxy S 4 General] leap_ahead:
U try the method with flash only stock recovery and not work?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sak500:
yes flashed stock recovery but still showed custom. I was on original stock russain with root and custom recovery only. No custom kernel or different ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
yes you need to full unroot your device as mentioned in the guide then flash the file, lol no my small file its just the stock recovery
[Galaxy S 4 General] bryan081686:
Is this available for Gt-i9505 version

Is this available for GT-i9505 version?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
If you have the stock recovery file, it should work
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sacramento666:
Any idea on where to get stock recovery for GT-I9505? I have googled it til' my fingers bleed, but no luck so far... :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
Extract the recovery.img from firmware file and then convert it to .md5 and flash it via odin
[Galaxy S 4 General] invisible4d:
will the method work on 4.4.2 is?
[Galaxy S 4 General] milly62:
You said that this guide works only for gt-i9500.

I have GT-I9505 with Lollipop 5.0.1 rooted. Where can I find the recovery for my device?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RubbaBand:
Never tested it out,

but you will need your stock recovery

You will find it inside the firmware file "recovery.img" convert it to .tar.md5 and flash it via Odin

Hi Colin,

I found this thread about your device on xda: LG G3s,Beat,D722,D724,F470 / TWRP, SonyBRAVIA3, Firmware.

Maybe you have to re-flash the stock firmware or get the needes files from it.

Next time, make a backup before.

If you register on xda, you can post your questions in that thread or in the LG G3 Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Good luck !

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintsmmx:
Hi fellow HTC One enthusiasts

I just got an unlocked AT&T M8 a few days ago to upgrade from my Nexus 5 that I'm using on T-Mobile and really enjoying, especially the beautiful screen and exceptional build quality!

So here's my situation: First off, I'm pretty rusty with regards to general ROM installation stuff since I started using Nexus devices, but, being a Nexus enthusiast, the first thing I did when I received my M8 was unlock the boot loader and S-Off the device to fully convert the AT&T M8 to the GPE Lollipop version following this tutorial on YouTube .

So from that, I now have a bootloader-unlocked AT&T M8 with fully stock GPE software (eligible for OTA updates from Google like a Nexus device), S-Off through Sunshine and I believe no custom recovery.

However, I'm having trouble figuring out the LTE/data signal on T-Mobile and some slow Wifi issues that I'd been having since before converting to GPE. I've tried changing the APN's to numerous different ones and the average LTE speeds I've been getting is about 1-4 Mbps here in the Los Angeles suburb area whereas with my Nexus 5, I was receiving at least15-20 on a regular basis. On top of that, the stock Google camera performs horribly on this device and I would love to use the HTC Sense camera instead but I've read that HTC Camera APK is incompatible with Vanilla Android.

So I looked around to remedy these two problems that I have with the signal and camera and I figured that the best solution is to install this ROM on XDA called LolliGPE which is a Multi-carrier ROM that is based on GPE Lollipop and is mostly vanilla with some Sense apps (including the HTC Camera app).

However, reading the instructions, it has a prerequisite that is emphasized quite a bit throughout the thread:

A. Update your device to your carrier's 4.4.4 Firmware BEFORE flashing anything here. Google it.

So that's where it gets confusing for me (and I've spent a few hours "Googling it" and on XDA to try to figure out an approach).

*Which carrier's firmware do I flash (AT&T, the phone's intended carrier vs. T-Mobile, the carrier I'm subscribed to)?

I'm about 80% sure that it's T-Mobile's firmware that I need since I'll be using the phone with T-Mobile, but I need to make sure, and also need to know which one to flash since bricking this beautiful device would wreck my soul.

I've read that having S-off is pretty crucial to simplifying the process and I'm pretty glad to have paid for Sunshine, so I at least have that going for me.

So in conclusion, if anyone could guide me towards the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for making it all the way down here, sorry for the wall of text!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you used the 5.0.1 RUU that graffixnyc posted your FW is already up-to-date and on the right version. What you need to do is add the APN to the phone manually. Funny that Google didn't pre-load the US APNs into the ROM as (technically) the GPe M8 is US-only yet it has the UK APNs in it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintsmmx:
Thanks for the input Eddy! 5.0.1 did have APN's preloaded in it upon installment but I was getting really slow speeds with it, so I spent the next two hours after that trying a multitude of other APN's from all over the web and the best one I found netted me an average Down of about 7 Mbps.

If I'm at the latest firmware, can I proceed to installing LolliGPE then?

Also, I'm wondering if flashing T-Mobile specific radios will help me with the issues that I'm having

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I did use the 5.0.1 RUU from graffixnyc
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You should be OK to flash the new ROM so long as it is based on the GPe build (due to partition sizes). Other than that I can't really comment as my 4G speeds were the same or better than when using Sense so didn't ever look into anything else
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintsmmx:
I see, thanks for the help Eddy, you're the man!

If I were to update my firmware in the future, would I be updating to T-Mobile's (my carrier I'm subscribed to) or AT&T's, the phones original carrier?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
As your phone is now GPe all updates are from HTC/Google and are nothing to do with your carrier
[Security Discussion] RedMr:
Hello!

I have some basic questions about the security of rooted android devices. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 actually on my SGS3. Of course I rooted it to install custom Recovery and ROM. So is there any possibility for an App to get Root Access without recognition?

I dont need the Root access anymore, I only wanted to install Cyanogenmod and thats it. What to do to fully unroot Cyanogen?

Another question:

If i have enabled "only install from trusted sources" am I safe? Or could there be sort of drive-by-downloads for example on this site sometimes i get the pop-up "your phone has (13) viruses, click ok ...".

Yeah thats it, I'm a little bit paranoid especially according to my passwords, are they safe!?

Thanks a lot and Greets from Germany!
[Security Discussion] RedMr:
Can anyone help me? :)
[Security Discussion] shifter7:
First, how do you define 'safe'? Nothing is ever really 'safe'.

I'm not sure if it is possible for an app to get root permissions without having the device 'rooted' first.

If you see your device restart(ed), it could have been done by some exploit in an app. But you have to have downloaded and run that app first. But don't rely on my answer on this one, my knowledge of this is not enough to give you an proper satisfying answer.

To unroot your phone just bring the phone back to factory state. This will reset everything on your phone back to normal.

If you want to be really sure, flash the original rom with KIES, which will restore your phone back to it was when you bought it.

Then put some recovery on it like TWRP or CWM and install CyanogenMod with it.

Maybe you could even use the stock Samsung recovery to install CyanogenMod, but I've never tried this so I am not sure this will work.

For the 2nd question:

The popups you are referring to are probably just advertisements. The same crappy things you get on a pc without an adblocker.

But for an adblocker to work, you probably need root.

From my perspective, there is no really being 'safe' without taking the necessary security precautions, but in most cases they require root access to work properly.

About your passwords:

If you are really paranoid about them being stolen from your phone, don't store them, period.

I would suggest AFWall+, which is a firewall based on IPTables (which are fully configurable to your own liking) and don't give any apps internet that don't need it.

Hope I could be of some assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Philomorph:
My GS3 used to be rooted, but I had to install MDM/Airwatch on it for testing at work, so I unrooted it. The unroot was successful and MDM didn't complain, and it's pretty picky. That was a few months ago.

Now Sprint or Samsung is pushing an update to the phone (I don't know exactly what it is) but when I try to run the update, it reboots and extracts then gets an error complaining that /system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk has unexpected contents.

I tried doing the update through Kies and it fails with an error saying that the phone was disconnected, even though it wasn't. I even set the phone to not sleep and no screenlock just so the connection would stay alive, but get the same error.

I did a factory reset but that didn't help. It seems like there's a problem with that APK but I don't know what to do about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Philomorph:
So I just reimaged my wife's S3 with an unrooted image I'd previously downloaded. Everything seems fine but when I try to apply this same update, it gets the exact same error!

Do I need to reimage these phones with something different to get the updates working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
in order to completely unroot your phone and hers is to Odin the stock tar...and since the both of you are on Sprint you can take the NJ2 tar...which is the Update that you are trying to install
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Philomorph:
Thanks, I'll give this a try! Do you think this is going to be a problem going forward though, where I can't get OTA updates anymore? The ROM I used put me on ND8 and is called:

L710VPUCND8_L710SPRCND8_L710VPUCND8_HOME.tar.md5

I'm not 100% sure where I downloaded it from, but I think it was from the link in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well ND8 and NJ2 are both 4.4.2 just NJ2 is a security update on top of ND8 and it will break root via Towel Root but the other 2 methods will still work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtseiler:
Doh wish I'd seen this before posting my own. Same exact problem here.

Where does one get the NJ2 tar? And will I be able to update after that? Otherwise how can we fix it so we can run updates and not have to wipe our phones every time?
