[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jUsT2eXy:
Thanks for the advice. My original Galaxy Note charged to 100% when under full load with the standard power from the AppRadio. However your right in saying that the new Samsung MHL adapter will ruin my set up because during installation the HDMI/USB Power are in the same 'section' of the centre console and I can't stretch the USB power cable without an extension lead.

So I will use the below that I have fitted in the centre console for power.

So although I won't know if my Edge would drain using the AppRadio power (my N7000 did not do this) this is rated @ 3.6A / 18w and it should be fine.

I have just seen on Amazon that you can now get 4.2A / 20W car chargers which is crazy!

My new Samsung MHL device will arrive sometime today (thanks to Amazon Prime). So I will let you know what happens and take a picture of my current set up.

Ps. When you say 'Fast charger'... what in car charger or power output (e.g. 3.6amps) would you consider being equivalent to our home wall plug fast charger?

AFAIK cf auto root should still work, check one of the lollipop threads in the s5 sprint general section for the link. FWIW you can always root it if the bootloader allows you to flash unsigned packages, so unless Sprint decides to lock us out we will always have root.

Question for Samsung S5 SM-G900p

Hi guys,

I have a Samsung S5 with Sprint carrier (with Kitkat rooted).

Since Sprint is CDMA, I intend to install Lollipop from another carrier (Cellular one specifically for SM-g900P) available on sammobile.

My questions is if this will brick my phone and if not, will LTE/4G work?

Many thanks!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citizen1408:
Hei guys I managed to **** up my HTC M8 pretty bad (I think..)

I had a rooted M8 with 4.4.4 so 5.0.2 came out a few days ago and I tried to update my phone today. To do so I wanted to unroot my phone so I did the following things:

1. I did a factory reset using the option in Clockworkmod

2. I flashed the stock recovery to my phone

3. I (re)locked my bootloader

The problem is something seems to be wrong with the flashed recovery, Factory Resetting or booting into recovery just restarts the phone and the OTA also just reboots the phone. Unlocking the bootloader and CHECK SMARTSD also won't work anymore..

I really don't know what to do now/where to ask for help..

Here is some information I can provide:

Bootloader looks like this:

*** Software status: Modified ***

*** Relocked ***

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Unrooting and relocking the bootloader was a useless move. OTA accepts rooted phones and with bootloader unlocked. OTA needs a stock recovery and a clean system.

What you can do is flash via adb TWRP and restore a working backup of your firmware.

P.S. Delete your IMEI and SERIAL NUMBER from your post.

After my phone crashed or somethings like that and force shutting down,I wasn't able to turn it on again !

I press the power button and nothings happend ! Now, if i remove the battery and then put it back, MY PHONE is turning on automatically ! ( this is the only way of turning on the phone ) BUT after a few sec from the s4 logo(first logo) it's turning off again !

I tried to enter recovery mode and didn't work too AND I EVEN tried to enter DOWNLOAD MODE(by plug the battery and fast press the buttons) and again after a few sec from the download logo my phone is turning off again !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi

Check you power button.....maybe stuck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I don't think it's cause by the power button. Once the phone is in the process of booting up, you can't shut it down with the power button. Only by removing the battery.

Is your phones battery ok? I had a similar issue with an LG P350.

Sounds like a hardware problem though.

Friends , I have xperia Z3 Dual, 6633. How to upgrade to the firmeware .96 after the root ???

Not against firmeware to the proceedings or to use PRFcreator . Someone with some help ??
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The correct way to do it is to install recovery then flash a prerooted zip

Unfortunately to get a pre rooted zip you most likely have to use PRFCreator. (I am unsure why you do not want to do this) it takes 7 minutes to make a prerooted flashable zip and its its about a dozen clicks in the program to do it...

I'm new here. I have a Galaxy S3 on Sprint running 4.4.2. I rooted with CF three or four months ago. A few days ago, i received an OTA and now Super User, Busy Box and Titanium won't work any more. SUPPOSE says i may need to re-root. Root checker says i do NOT have root access but, under Settings > About Devise> Status= it still says " Custom. I have decided to trade up to a new phone so ingress i need to re-root, make sure the counter is clear and that everything else is as it should be. I never flashed a custom ROM or anything. I just rooted and left it all stock. My question is: Will i need to flash the stock ROM when i do this or, should I be alright sincenter I never flashed anything custom in the first place? So, which forum do i go to find my answer? Thanks.

I unlocked my lg optimus g pro f240k, so everything is ok. And I installed the recovery twpr.

therefore, I've the system olleh original lg 4.1.2, I did an update OTA with the system. Up to this point the download is finished, but then the update has been successful partially. You turn the phone always in recovery mode twpr, and not boot the phone is always remains on the recovery, in the end did not install the new update.

what can i do ??? why did not finish the upgrade process and remains stuck on recovery.

then on google I downloaded the file .KDZ but as you use it?

I have no experience in this regard.

I hope much we can unlock and I hope that me can help solve this problem :) it's important because I am with the phone locked HELP !!

I would like to make it work again :( - h e l p -

Can you help me ??

Well your first issue was you had not done any research before doing anything. Had you, you would know you can't take ota with a custom recovery. It has to be stock. Your only options are to flash a stock rom if one was ever released for the device. If not then you might be out of luck.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidbits:
Hi there.

Are you on KK or Lollipop?

From the Modem number I suspect that you have a KK Modem/Baseband. [when I was on KK I had a 00008 modem. v20h is 00048]

If you are already on Lollipop, you ought to flash the v20h Modem which is the adequate one.

You can use Search on the Forum and get v20h.

You should then notice changes.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwalker_xda:
Thx a lot for your reply.

It's KK now.

Do u mean that the KK does not support 4G LTE on my phone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
No it probably means the phone doesnt support the frequency that T-Mobile runs its 4G network on. T-Mobile's 4G network runs on 1700 mhz and 2100mhz while the phone only supports networks running on 800/1800 and 2600 mhz

and please do not listen to the person, V20H is only for D855 variant. Please do not think flashing random things from other varians onto your phone will work.

It will result in brick and youll wont be able to do anything about it since US LG Service Centers dont repair international variants

Hey man, I'm an iOS user as well. firstly Are you a technician cause you said you opened the iPhone and fixed the battery.

Secondly, I lost whatsapp messages before. due to update issues. But I couldn't recover any messages cause my Whatsapp went from 500MB to 46MB so I had lost all hopes, fortunately I made an iTools backup so It saved my ass.

So I don't have a solution but a suggestion, always keep backups. u.u

I still use Whatsapp on iOS cause: Lifetime Service :D

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Whatsapp forced the update on me because I was using an older version. Mark ****erberg is being a real jerk. And for that Whatsapp automatically logged me out of Whatsapp and told me to reverify after update. So after updating I reverify and BAM! My Whatsapp message history was done for. But luckily I have a habit of making weekly backups so it saved me. -_- I really hate the fact that Whatsapp is owned by Mark ****erberg now. -_-
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Let's not get into the whole debate that millions of others have about sunshine.

Anyway, I have seen conflicting information, and am somewhat confused. Many say you can still install custom roms with S-On and even install custom recoveries, while others say you can't install some roms unless you are S-Off.

Now, I know I can't flash a custom radio while S-On, or "convert" it into a play or dev or whatever edition.

I am fine with that (I assume I can still flash official radios released for it?), I don't want to convert it into a different type of M8 or switch carriers or anything. I just want to have rooted custom roms.

In that regard, just what would I be limited to exactly? Again, half the posts say you can still flash custom and rooted roms with S-On, and others say you need S-Off for custom roms, do they mean custom roms that are for dev/play/etc editions would require S-Off? Or are there custom roms designed for a regular Sprint M8 that would still need S-Off? Or am I even limited to only stock versions/mods of the Sprint rom? What about installing recoveries?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
S-off isn't required to flash a ROM, but in some cases you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Do you mean that I won't be able to flash a kernel separately with S-on? I don't get that, won't roms flash the kernel and other key files to the system partition (which I assume you need to format first before flashing the rom) anyway?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Hit the second link in my sig and read the section pertaining to S-on kernel flashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
I don't understand, what do you mean that you can't write to the /system partition permanently if you are S-On? Wouldn't you need to be able to write to the system partition in order to flash a custom rom your phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Meaning any changes that you make are only temporary and won't survive a reboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Though again, changes like installing a custom ROM? Or do you not need access to /system to install a custom rom?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Amer28:
It certainly helps to have S-OFF, but I haven't found it all that necessary. I'm currently on the ViperOneM8 3.2.1 with S-ON, and I'm not having any issues. Nothing that cannot be fixed anyway. At one point, I had ran into some trouble when I installed Sense 6 Toolbox (Xposed Mod), played with some settings and then uninstalled it. The trouble was with Venom Tweaks, it just wouldn't run. Thankfully I had a back-up, loaded it up, and it's all good. Other than that, no problem. And I'm not even sure if S-ON was the problem, but I'm assuming that the reason why Venom couldn't boot up was because it had no permission to overwrite some stuff that the xmod sense 6 toolbox left behind. I'm just guessing of course, I'm probably wrong.

But yeah, I would give ViperOneM8 a try, though be careful. Make sure you have all the right firmware installed BEFORE you start doing any rooting. It will save you a lot of headache.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Sorry to keep going on about this, but I am still confused. If you can't permanently write to the /system partition, how were you able to install tools that modify system files? You mentioned that you think the reason was that the Toolbox software you installed left some modified files behind, if S-On means you can't permanently modify those files then how did they survive a reboot?

Would I be able to install a security application like avira onto the system partition with S-On? It has an option to install itself, and it's settings, into a rooted phone so the application (and it's settings) cannot just be wiped from a factory reset. Wouldn't it need to write to the system partition in order to do that?

Come to think of it, I know you can install another bootloader and/or recovery once you are rooted, but wouldn't you also need to be able to access the system partition in order to be able to do that?

I don't get what this unable to permanently write to the system partition while S-On entails since it seems like many things do permanently write to it still.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Amer28:
I'm not hundred percent sure on this. I don't do any modding or anything myself, but it is my understanding that you actually 'can' write to the system partition. Just not 'some' stuff. It's essentially like having safe mode on, it just ensures that you don't completely brick the phone.

Again, please do not quote me on any on this. I'm merely humoring the subject, not an expert in any sense of the word.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] elandroido:
You can flash virtually any custom ROM with S-On as long as you unlock your Bootloader at HtcDev... I can explain details later on, I am just busy atm...

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Some more details:

Basically you have 2 options to enable Custom Roms on the HTC One M8

1. Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

2. Gain S-Off

For 99% of the ROMs it makes no difference which way you go. You can flash a custom recovery with both ways and you can flash custom ROMs with both ways. There is no such thing as a limitation during writing /system.

The difference is that with S-Off you can change your device IDs (e.g. CID) and in consequence you can flash firmware (like radio firmware, adsp firmware, etc.) that is not meant for your device. So playing with S-Off is quite "risky" you can "easily" achive a brick.

With S-On, you can only flash firmware which is signed for your device.

I would give the recommendation as follows: If you decide to go with S-On (which I would do if you have no specific reason for S-Off) then after flashing a custom recovery, take a backup of your stock ROM. Then, when you need a update of the firmware components, you can restore that backup, flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and use stock OTA to update all firmware components consistently.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Wait, so I can't flash an updated radio if I am on a custom rom even if that radio was officially released for my device? I thought even with S-On you would still be able to flash a radio if it was officially released and signed for your device?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] elandroido:
Well you can flash a radio which is signed for your device. But the safer way imho is to go the OTA way, because that really dates up everything. There might be other firmware components that can receive an update and when you go OTA everything stays consistent. But oft course you can also take the manual way, if you find a proper firmware zip.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can flash the full, signed firmware such as what OMJ provides in his RUU thread, but you cannot flash unsigned firmware to your device while S-on. You can still update your radios, you just have to jump through a few more hoops to do so, unlike those who have S-off.
