Hi

I havent got access to the pc with them on at the moment but if you download the latest winzip (i think it is v 12), that is what I used to create the file and I probably used the latest compression.

Also I think I posted them again further down pianosams thread

thank you... after ur advise of using latest winzip, i managed to unzip the zip file....
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AgentVash:
Hello everyone,

I'm not new the whole rooting and installing recovery/kernel/roms. I've always had a Galaxy S phone. Though this is my first time having an HTC phone since the first ever android phone launched (G1).

I have the boot loader unlocked, I was just wondering what does s-off get me ? I can install TWRP and root it through the recovery, but after that it sometimes takes ~15 minutes for the phone to boot in, is that normal ?

Because of that, I went back to stock and left it that way. Firewater doesn't work with my phone. I also know I can sound incredibly cheap right about now, I don't want to pay $25 for s-off.

So where do I go to after unlocking the boot loader ? I want to use THIS ROM, but is it 100% necessary to have s-off ?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TheSocalGuy79:
My bootloader is unlocked and my phone rooted. I don't have S-Off. Follow the HTC steps to unlock the bootloader.

Hello,

This is my last option to solve my problem.

I bought a Cogito Classic 2 months ago. First time I got to connect it to my Meizu mx4. Once connected app said to update the watch software. I did it and since then I have not been able to connect it again...

After 2 months talking with Cogito FAQ and testing some app versions they told me they give up this problem....

Could any developer help me and others trying to develop the app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.connected.watch )??

Thank so much!

Solution to Cogito Update

Hi ! I hope you still have the watch !

If it asks you to update better have an old phone running Android 4.4 or an iphone laying around.

Only using an old phone will do the update (that takes 15 minutes in total) after that it works like a charm !

* I spent a whole year till I found this fix * :D Hope it helps !

[General Questions and Answers] rizkhan999:
Which method did you choose to unlock your bootloader?
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
Assuming that your bl is unlocked , you can flash a custom recovery such as twrp then try to flash a custom rom to see if it works
[General Questions and Answers] rizkhan999:
Is unlocking bootloader necessary for installing a custom recovery? Or is it just necessary for installing a custom ROM through custom recovery?

Means can't we install a custom recovery while having a locked bootloader?
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
there are some workaround for some devices but it's always better to unlock the bootloader so you wont encounter bugs, thats the first part of the question

and yes you must have an unlocked bootloader to flash the twrp or cwm or any custom recovery, and to install a rom, you need a custom recovery, so you will definitely need it unlocked

you are not forced to use the custom rom, but im saying, since you unlocked it already, you may try, specially that there is a twrp for your device

you can flash the recovery from fastboot then lookup for a rom

Long story short is my boss is buying out my contract to put me under the employer account with verizon. Is there a way to unlock this to work with verizon?? Thanks in advance
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awilson77584:
You may want to check if your employer is going to require a BYOD mgmt app like airwatch. You may want to keep your phone and let your employer purchase a new Verizon phone for you. That's one of the reasons Verizon and AT&T are approved. They have locked bootloaders. Your security people read XDA too :) ... //cheers

I rooted my GT-I9100 with Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 then installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.99 and tried to install cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.8-20150309-i9100; cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.7-20150309-i9100 and cm-12-20150225-UNOFFICIAL-i9100 but nothing to do...my scrren is lock on this as you can see on picture

And in the end an erro message. What can I do to resolve it ?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Try using a newer version of recovery to install the Rom. It seems as if you are using a older version of recovery than is required for installing RR.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
here is a link to a newer recovery. Link: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/

If you want to flash via recovery, download the zip file to your phone. If you want to flash with ODIN (recommended), download the tar.md5 file to your PC and flash with ODIN (select as PDA file).

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Now that the S6 is out and the whole world saw Samsung take out expandable storage & removable battery in the S6 in favor of design, does anyone think they will do this to the Note 5 as well?

I certainly hope not because this will be the last Samsung I will buy ever again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jay8302:
If they do it would be like buying a nexus
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Archiimonde:
I think they will drop both, but I hope not.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
I hope not, too.

But, if the Note line is supposed to be for power users and the S line for normal users, then they should be smart and not ditch the expandable storage and removable battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Thor:
The Note series isn't been pushed for its design aspects as much as its feature set. The Note series is also very business orientated and because of that the removable battery is a seriously important feature. bringing an extra battery is a must for most business users who are away from the office a lot or travel and such. There would be no point in removing the MicroSD slot if they still have a removable battery,

Now of course Samsung don't want to brand the Note series that way, but ultimately a large phone such as the Note would see no benefit from a premium design such as the S6 as the general population aren't going to go for phones much bigger than the S6 and as such removing features for such a thing would be counter productive.

At least I hope so. If Samsung remove the MicroSD slot from the Note series, I will stick with the Note 4 for as long as possible and then move to another company. Samsung can scream all of the nonsense they what, copying Apple's greed for storage strangled devices is nothing short of pathetic. If your going that route, then 64GB better be the standard. Why bother advertising 2k display here, 4K camera there, if people don't have the storage to deal with higher size content.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] omeryounos:
I hope Samsung thinks in the same way for Note 5. Otherwise I will be moving to iPhone 6S plus
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
Yeah and for one I'd be seriously tempted to choose the Nexus. The N6 is a pretty sweet phone, the only reason I don't have one is that it's not as good as the Note 4. Removable battery and micro sd slot being 2/3 of the reasons I have the Note 4 instead.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
If they do then bye ? Samsung
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
Depends upon the sales of s6
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Yup, and of course feedback. The thing is though that samsung has the ability to do both, but in order to improve their margins they have gone the Apple route, a route which I think they will stay on as long as it brings in greater profits, which is going to be the case due to the S6 actually being quite awesome in comparison to the rest of the phones out there.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
Note 5 will keep both because its designed for power users on the go. The S6 is more for the mainstream crowed like Iphones sheeple.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
If they do it's bye bye Samsung for me too after Captivate, S3, Note 2, Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
If s6 sales fail then they wont.

I know I wont buy a pjone without microsd.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] spexwood:
I think Samsung will first see how people react to the S6 once on the market and base their decision around that for their next phones (including Note 5). However, I hate to say that I think non-removable batteries and nonexpandible storage are the future (as much as I hate it). Google is really encouraging these kinds of features and many companies may follow in their footsteps.

I read somewhere a day ago that the 32GB S6 will have expandible storage. The slot is under a flap cover that's on the top of the phone instead of under the cover. There's another dlot on the sidr of the phone for the sim. That was not officially confirmed though, and I think the people discussing it were only basing it on the photos and hands-on footages. But they all see one distinct slot, a distinct flap covering something, and a micro USB port on the phone. I'd confirm it myself, but I can't tell based on images, what version of the S6 I'm looking at.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I have a feeling the S6 will actually be a big hit with consumers. It's visually appealing and has great specs. Most mainstream users don't swap out batteries or load up large SD cards. With 64GB versions to be sold I expect the S6 will do very well, although I'm hoping that Samsung leaves the SD card and replaceable battery in the Note 5. That would help distinguish their mainstream S6 from the power-user Note model. As it stood before, the Note was simply a more powerful version of the S6 with an S-Pen..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
S6 pre orders have already smashed records and launch is sill a few weeks away. Like it or not, these sales figures will have an influence on Samsung's design team going forward. In other words don't be surprised if the Note 5 has a solid glass or possibly metal back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jetbruceli:
It would be OK with me if they made sure higher storage options are available and not to hard to find. Android is making it tough for OEMs to have ext storage. I know I needed root to access mine the way I wanted to.

Either way I am not worried because the note 4 is the last device for awhile.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
http://phandroid.com/2015/03/09/galaxy-s6-pre-orders/

This does not bode well for the Note 5. We have to constantly let Samsung know on their Facebook page that they SHOULD NOT get rid of expandable storage or removable battery.

https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA

https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
I'm not going to even bother do that. I will just not buy it.

That should send the message.

So if note 5 has no external storage and no removable battery then no one that want these features should buy it.

Then I bet note 6 will have whatever we want.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] flyhighx:
If they removed either, I would not by their product and have to look for an alternative from one of their competitors.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Zamboney:
They will 100% certainly remove the SD-card as that is incompatible with superfast UFS2.0 storage. The difference in speed and experience is too large. The battery one can always hope for but with S6 looking like a success they will likely stick to the new design for Note 5 and remove the removable battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] snideguy19:
I came to love and work for Samsung because of the Note line. If it ends up like the S line I will be looking for a new employer.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xbellox:
I personally don't care for replaceable battery. I owned S3, S4, (Nexus5) and now Note 4, and I've never ever had the need to change my battery.

But sdcard is a must have for me. Samsung can keep system files within internal storage as it is way faster, but why not leave the option to expand storage for images, music and videos?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Removable battery is indispensable for those of us who travel a lot or who are always on the go. I would hate to have to find power outlets for a 10min quick charge everywhere I go. It also would suck to have to carry your charger and USB cable too. Carrying a spare battery is much less bulky.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
I think samsung wont change the note 5 like they did with s6. The note is aimed at a completely different audience and looks isnt a priority. The way the note 4 is now with the metal frame is 1000% perfection. They would shoot themselves in the foot if they change
[Galaxy Note 4 General] coolfire:
Gimme a note 5 with 256GB internal storage and 4000mah battery and I'll be pretty happy lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Does Samsung have market research staff gathering data from these forums?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Simonetti2011:
Yes, but wether they take it in consideration or not is an entirely different matter. Samsung (and other manufacturers) also have technical people lurking around XDA.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mehdi.moha:
if they do it , i will never buy samsung phone !!!

why they acting like that , shi###
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
So much fud in this thread.

They will probably end up splitting it down the middle and look to maximise profit. A mainstream note with a sealed battery and no microsd. A more advanced 'edge' model, with MSD support and costing XYZ more.

I bet removable batteries stays gone

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Why would they bother with that? This forum despite its wondrous community support, is largely a lopsided shrill noise. They will focus on larger sample sizes, observance of actual sales patterns on people that dont care for XDA and other stuff.

If the 64 gb model just works out, dont expect them to bother with MSD again. I for one would welcome a note with a sealed battery and onboard storage, that is quick.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Current Note isn't quick enough for you?

A micro-SD is a must have for me. I put all my data on the microSD and only apps go on the internal storage. If something happens to my phone (like USB port gets jacked) and I can't get access to the internal storage, I can just pop out the microSD and all my pictures are still saved.

I also have Google Photos backing up all images, but those are reduced down to lower resolution and I have it set not to save videos because those count against your storage quota.

I will definitely move to another company if Samsung takes out both features.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Why in the world would you think that taking out SD support and sealing the battery would make things faster? TW can't even use the current Note 4 power or speed. You want to remove things so a bloated OS somehow becomes....... what? Highly doubt it will feel faster.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
Totally. For me it's also a lot easier to just slot my card into a new phone than it is to spend two hours copying multiple gigabytes of music photos and video across from the old phone to my laptop and then back to a new phone.

It's not uncommon for people to experience lag and even crashing due to having a dodgy sd card inserted. Read write speeds to internal memory are considerably faster than the sd card so the slow down when accessing the card leads to the perception of a slow phone.

For example, in another thread people were complaining that it takes several seconds to go from the camera app to the gallery app. I did notice this lag also, until I removed the micro sd card and then it was much quicker. It just flat out takes a lot longer for the gallery app to read the photos on the external card.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Very good point. But, wouldn't a gallery app that is programmed in a smart way know to create thumbnails of the images and store them on the internal storage? I would be surprised if the Samsung Gallery app did NOT already do this?

In addition, it could cache the most recently taken image on the internal storage so switching to the gallery app is faster. Then, copy the image to the destination later.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Neo3D:
Yea, I agree. I don't know why sealing the battery would help the phone run faster? That makes no sense whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
I love my Note 4 as much as everyone else here. But if the Note 5 comes in roughly the same styling as we have now but with upgraded specs, I'll be using my jump to get one.

The SD slot I only use because of the 32gb we have now. I put a 32gb sd card in mine. I don't swap batteries, but I can see why other people want that feature.

It's all conjecture at this point. But my opinion of the new s6 is that's it's an awesome phone and if I didn't have a note 4 I'd be all over it. I love that new cpu.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
You cherrypicked my post and that's to be expected.

It's strictly ok. I was talking purely in perspective. Current loadout is 6 plus 128 and note 4 with 128 sd. However if Samsung chose to go purely 128 gig onboard it would not bother me much.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Heh. Really cannot believe the lack of information around these parts.

Seriously is this even a question at this point? Onboard memory is a great deal quicker than sdcards. Even the fastest SD cards are at best equaling onboard performance and those are restricted to 64 gb and cost a packet. Take any decent benchmark tool and check it yourself?

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Oh good lord...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
You can good lord all you want. Still won't make a phone perform better with a sealed battery vs not. ;) Jokes aside, I'm aware that onboard storage is faster , my point is that if the OS is running like crud and is bloated up then it won't matter what you do, it will still be slow. For example at the current Note 4 specs the phone should be running faster and smoother for the OS and games in general. Not slower. So increasing the power of the phone while NOT optimizing the OS or features will STILL result in a slow phone. Only now you have no way to replace the battery AND you have no SD card support. I'd rather have a blazing fast OS then have features removed for basically no improved result.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jj03:
sealed battery and no sd card slot means bye bye samsung. will go with another manufacturer. ****in retarded to remove those options at a time when other manufacturers have been at it for a while.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jonathan-H:
Taking out SD memory won't make a blind bit of difference to speed on a mobile phone and Samsung phones will still lag.

Doesn't make a blind bit of difference in the real world on a mobile using SD or internal and no amount of quoting tech specs will prove otherwise. We have all used technology and know it won't make a blind bit of difference.

Saving photo's and video's and copying back and forwards to pc will take the same time via SD or internal, it always does, and saving photo's and video's to SD via the camera is just as quick as saving to internal.

Camera gallery lag is non existent on my phone because I don't keep killing the gallery app via recent apps. It has nothing to do with SD.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
The only reason I see stupid Samsung remove microsd support is so they don't pay royalties to Microsoft
[Galaxy Note 4 General] torickray:
If S6 is a hit, most likely note 5 will remove both. I don't care about the battery, I just hope they will keep the expendable storage
[Galaxy Note 4 General] disk0360:
The nexus 6 is not even in the ball park as the note 4. Samsung's note 4 is streets ahead, I know this from personal experience having owned a n6.

It's not a deal breaker for me but spare battery is always good ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
If they do that, theres really no need to stick to galaxy series. i just get the next nexus. At least then Ill be secured uptodate software.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AtlAndroid:
It would drive me away from Samsung..

A removable SD card is a nice tool to have in your toolbox, but a removable battery was the deciding factor over the Nexus 6 for me. And in the Galaxy Nexus (toro) before that. It's one of teh reasons I never went iPhone. Eliminating it would be a show stopper for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowLea:
I sincerely hope not. The MicroSD is one of the main deciding factors for me. (I don't live in the USA and I don't live in the capital. 4G is only available at home where I already have 120Mbps internet, and I travel 7 hours per day by public transport. I need my films and music.) I intend to buy the Note 5 when it comes out, but if it doesn't have a MicroSD slot... I'll probably keep my Note 3 for another year to see if they learn that lesson the hard way.

It wouldn't make sense if they removed them. The Note line up is for powerusers, techies, artists(Wacom) and media lovers. The latter two require expandable storage. The first two want as many options as possible. They want a choice.

The Note devices have never been about winning people over with design. They're about functionality. They're not trying to compete with the iPhone the way the S lineup does. And the S6 is meant to persuade the iPhone users, not Samsung users. iPhone users don't want removable batteries and expandable storage. (That's much too complicated for them, the poor souls might suffer an aneurysm!) They want metal unibodies and that ugly SIMflap.

As for anyone who goes about saying "The internal memory is much faster than the slow MicroSD", The MicroSD is meant for media, not apps. :rolleyes:. A 1080p film plays just fine from the MicroSD, cheers. (As you can tell, I've heard that comment a lot).

Besides, a 128GB Note 5? Can you imagine the price? That'll be €1299... :eek: My laptop cost that!

I'm also quite worried they'll stick with Exynos. Yes, Exynos is faster in everyday use. But for heavy apps (Games, Sketchbook/Photoshop with 15 layers), you need a Snapdragon and an Adreno, not a low-ghz Exynos and a Mali.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Best rebuttal i have seen so far, on why onboard etc is not a good idea. Cheers to this post.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ukbondraider:
Yes because they want to build all metal/glass phones. No more cheap crap plastic. Ive been waiting years for Samsung to stop producing plastic tat. Whilst I like the Note 4 the rear leather/plastic removable back cover is the worse aspect of the phone.
