[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tingtwothree:
So I saw the 4.4.2 stock ROM dump thread and got all excited, and proceeded to follow the instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788357

However, I couldn't get anything to work. I flashed the ROM then the kernel. (ktoonz) I flashed the ROM only. I flashed the kernel then the ROM. Nothing.

Then I read something about the bootloader and thought that maybe that was the issue. I downloaded the kernel from this thread (I747UCUEMJB). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2321310

Now while I did pay attention to the red warning letters, I'm still tearing my hair out.

No, I did not attempt a downgrade.

However, while before on the old bootloader I could always flash my stock ROM to the original state, I can't flash any ROMs at all. Not from Odin. Not from CWM. Not from TWRP. Not from ADB sideloading.

Thankfully I can still flash custom recoveries. So yes, recovery still works.

Additionally, I don't think it's a kernel issue. When I was on the old bootloader I can always flash the stock image and it will overwrite the kernel as well. With the new kernel Odin almost dies immediately. I have tried Odin v3.07, 3.09, and 3.10.

Also, don't know if this is related. I cannot find any bootloader drivers. Anywhere. I followed every single instruction I could find, and dug through every driver that Google and Samsung offers. While the ADB drivers work perfectly, I have been unsuccessful at finding a suitable Samsung Bootloader driver that works for my device. I have tried installing drivers across multiple windows computers and I keep running into the same issues.

If it's relevant: my device came with 4.1.1. Not sure exactly which bootloader, but that was the OS that came stock. I think. It wasn't the current one, that's for sure.

What's going on? How do I fix my phone? All help is appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you sure Odin is failing because of the kernel? What is the error message? Once on the 4.3 bootloader, that will often cause Odin to fail when trying to flash a ROM via Odin if the ROM includes an older bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
If your custom recovery is TWRP you can verify your phones bootloader and modem by going to terminal emulator and entering these commands:

getprop ro.bootloader

and

getprop | grep version.baseband

It would be best to know what versions of these are present before proceeding.

I don't know if CWM or Philz recovery include terminal emulator.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LigerRider:
Hey, so for the past few days my G3's contrast seems to be changing and dark apps have a noticeable transparency.

I have colour adjustment on - and a dark grey keyboard theme that is almost black, but when it randomly changes contrast my almost black keyboard turns to a grey, that is where it is most noticeble. The transparency is most noticeble when I open my texting app Textra - the dark theme is a lot lighter and I can faintly see my home screen through the app but while when it's working nornally there is no transparency. It happens on all apps but these ones make me know its not normal as I use textra and keyboard the most and know what they should look like.

I may note that the navbar is black and the buttons green and when it goes brighter the navbar stays the same.

I dont know what triggers it, but it just seems to randomly switch between normal and brighter+transparent. It has only been happening for a few days that Ive noticed, and it doesnt affect anything it is just quite annoying.

Other than this, the screen works fine, knock codes work fine, when its running normal everything looks perfect.

Does anybody know what is causing this? My G3 is rooted with various theme tweaks from G3 tweakbox and gravitybox, but I did not change anything between it running fine and acting up.

Found this new ROM for our Grand. http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamglade/

It's called Glade ROM. Just wanted to know if anyone has used it, or if anyone has screenshots and features list. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RichyE:
Never seen of heard of it before.

I will give it a quick run and post some info
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rommel Espinosa:
I think this is the continuation of aogp...im not sure :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RichyE:
Look like it’s based on CM12 5.0.2 and Android Open Grand Project(AOGP) 5.0.2

Out of the box I has only single sim support, but dual sim can be activated with the normal procedure and can receive/make calls without FC.

There are a couple of tweaks available but not yet much compared to blisspop or resurrection

Looks stable for a version 1.0 but to early to tell and I haven't got more time as I have to gow now.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Great! :D

Thanks a lot. Looks good though :D

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RichyE:

Give fc on setup wizard and makes the first offical build useles as it keeps FC every second
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Yeah, it does. Switched to BlissPop.

[MENTION=5216756]jackeagle[/MENTION] [MENTION=943196]k2wl[/MENTION] Thanks for the works.

Screenshots from Glade-v1.0-i9082-OFFICIAL-20150316-1359.zip

It's looking good and stable (running for 2 hours now)

Call, data, wifi and bluetooth works for me

Just some small problems:

No ringtone and notification selected so there is no sound until you set it yourself.

No file manager (no problem just install the one you like)

Looks great missing only a couple of blisspop features, but that is my personal opinion.

Add blocker

Open Camera

Kernel tweaker

Also happy they are using SU (Chainfire) and not CM SU as that is having less problems and is more supported by apps and superior

Also right out of the box only 1 sim enable , but you can activate the 2nd on in the usual way :p
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AakashKaushal98:
do this rom based upon cm.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RichyE:
Yes it is CM 5.0.2 based
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AakashKaushal98:
Will it be different from cm or almost same.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RichyE:
Knowing the team it will be CM based but with extra features and options.

More custom settings, but at the moment blisspop rules them all ;)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damedolla2:
Long story short my messages app sucks! Short Story long I love the messages app but it don't love me back. I'm sure many of you will suggest that I use hangouts or chomp or textra or some other third party message app which I do but I really want to use the stock app. I'm using hangouts by default right now. That's bc my stock app started acting up about 2 months after use. It would just freeze while texting and doing all kind of weird things that it shouldn't do. I thought it was just my phone and hoped that lollipop would fix it and started using hangouts but lollipop isn't here. Furthermore I bought my wife a note about a month ago after convincing her to leave the iPhone (greatest thing she ever did besides marrying me) and her phone started doing the exact same thing. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced this. I've tried clearing cache, deleting old messages and googling a solution but came with no luck. So here I am reaching out to my fellow xda-ers to see if anyone else had the same problem or better yet a solution?

That's really strange. Are you both on T-Mobile? I have not used the stock app since day 1, and I don't like Hangouts, but I do have problems sometimes messaging with my girlfriend. We both have Note 4's with Textra, but she is on Verizon and I am on the big pink T. We had no problems when we both had T-Mobile.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihadtoregister:
Last summer I had my Fire TV rooted and set up with Xposed to fake Wifi access so that I could use my Xfinity app via ethernet. Previous to that I was using FOX-FI and my phone as a Wifi hotspot but Metropcs blocked the ability to do so.

All was well until the unit started turning itself off a few months ago. I was sent a replacement that I believe was a refurbishment and it NEVER updates (i.e. never updated to the Prime option on the left side of the menu) -- which would be great except I haven't been able to root it (most likely it's unrootable). Now I have a 3rd one and I just need to know how I can run my Xfinity TV GO app on it (after it's sideloaded) without having to use WIFI. Also, where is the list of serial numbers or whatever it is that allows one to know if the box can be rooted?

Thanks in advance.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aobeta:
The newest version of Xfinity Go does work over ethernet. I do have a lot of buffering issues when trying to watch on demand video though.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihadtoregister:
Really? I'll download the new app then sideload it to see if I'm still being told to connect via Wifi. I'll update later.

Are you sure you have the newest version? Its at version 2.4.2. When I tried an older version, I would get that error about experiencing difficulties. But the new one works fine. And you should get a popup about it working with mobile data the first time you open it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihadtoregister:

Hmm, did you get the popup about mobile data now working at least? I have no clue why it wouldnt work for you unless you are on an old version.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihadtoregister:
It's still not working. I included the link to the version I installed today. So, I'm not sure what the problem could be. There's a version of Xfinity for X1? users with cloud that I don't believe applies to my account. I've retried it a few times now and it shows the same message
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aobeta:
If you don't see that mobile data popup then you likely do not have the newest version. Downloading from play store may not always get you the newest version because the version it lets you download is based on what device you download it from. Google "xfinity go apk 2.4.2" and find it that way and make sure you are downloading version 2.4.2.002. If that doesn't work, I have no more advice for you because I have no clue what the issue is.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihadtoregister:
I tried installing that same file on the older rootable device that won't update and the new non-rootable one and it's the same "experiencing difficulties" error. I was able to navigate to the 'Live' streaming area and when clicked to view a channel I got the "No Wi-Fi Connection. You must be on Wif-Fi to stream video content." pop-up. So, that's the true issue --- this version isn't ethernet compatible. I also tried to google for that apk and there were only a few sites that didn't seem to be safe. Would you be able to upload the apk that you have working via Ethernet?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Martinjv71:
Looks like root threads are getting shut down due to negative comments. Well they are a part of forums. Go look on everyone. You have to take the good and bad XDA is no different. I've been a member for 7 years and to see such a vital thread shut down makes me think the moderator is a tmobile user trying to derail us. No thread is perfect at all. Are the moderators helping with root or just using their opinions on posts to say whether or not they are valid. So hundreds and hundreds of users are dependent upon the thoughts of 1 or 2 people whether or not a thread is valid? Take the good with the bad people. Your not going to change anything except maybe losing people on XDA as they go to Android central or anything other forum. I'll probably get an infraction or banned but I'm staying an opinion just like forums were meant for along with information and facts.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brentsalinas714:
I can understand the ppl working hard to achieve what we all want( root) getting Pissed off about useless coments. I have to say the good outweighed the bad And was harsh to shut it down because of a few ppl trolling or have had nothing to contribute to the thread. Why do we all suffer because of very few ppl?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] EMDrNote:
I PM'ed the moderator staff about this and was assured the current lock is only temporary. They also acknowledged the concerns you all are expressing. I would guess it is a TOS violation to copy & paste the private conversation here, but do know that they were not only appropriate in their response but also highly supportive of reinstituting the thread. However, there have been major issues with people not following instructions and posting off-topic and inappropriate messages. If you want to see the thread open back up, perhaps a better approach would be to do what I did and write a polite, formal request to the moderator staff rather than post threads complaining about their actions. The latter will only tick them off but lots of requests done in a professional, persistent but considerate manner is more likely to push them in the direction of unlocking that thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] goobieracing:
I understand your guys thoughts but this isn't the way to go about. Us people ready to do what we can with root just have to stay quite and wait say nothing.....

Idk if this will help out getting to root but there is a hidden menu in the dailer "*#0*#" to access camera functions. Idk if it would be easier to use that to access the exploit that was discovered because i don't dig that deep when it comes to tinkering with android but that's what I came cross.
