By throwing away our phones!

Seriously though, it's a game that we freely chose to play. I don't know why anyone is surprised by AT&T's actions. You get a Samsung phone and you know the bootloader is going to cause some problems... You want updates? Get a phone that is easy to flash custom roms. I was tired of waiting so I got a OnePlus One... Now I am on easy street until the GS5 gets the lollipop update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sdc177:
You are in a really small minority. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do that will make a difference. Most S5 owners have no idea what the difference between 4.X and 5.X is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
I sold my G900A and bought a G900T. I'm still on att's network but will never again buy an att branded device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
Samsung has pushed updates to the S5 including the G900A to carriers. AT&T has not yet (to the best of our knowledge) finished their prep and tests. Don't blame Samsung for something it already has completed. They can tell AT&T to push an update all they want, but ultimately the update for our device is up to AT&T.

There is nothing the FCC can do either. The device works properly and complies with the FCC regulations.

Yes, I want Lollipop too. But I can only wait until it comes out or until I can buy an unlocked devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KennyG123:
First off Samsung gets updates usually within a month or two of Google release of OS versions. However those are the international versions of the phones. US carriers are always last because of all the bloat and in AT&T's case being able to open the phone to install the OTA and then locking it down tight again. So who is your complaint really against? Slow AT&T is slow! Now your complaint will fall on deaf ears because updates are not guaranteed nor in your TOS or contract. The one thing you DO get out of this is knowledge...knowledge that this is how it is with AT&T and realize you have choices in carriers. The less than 1% of their buyers on XDA will not even hurt their bottom line enough for them to notice if no one here bought from them again. And how does any of this concern the FCC? They are responsible to clear the phone for release...period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ButtonBoy:
Vote with your dollars. If you don't like Samsung using an encrypted boot loader, don't buy the S6. If you don't like how ATT releases the worst software with the worst delay in the industry, then buy an unlocked GSM phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] malickie:
Sadly it isn't really Samsung who "wants" to lock the bootloaders on their phones. It's the Carriers who force them to lock the bootloaders. If it was the case that Samsung wanted to lock them down then every single Samsung phone on the Market regardless as to what carrier or where would have locked down bootloaders, which isn't the case. So if you want to do something about it stop buying cellphones from the carriers who have locked bootloaders, aka get an international phone if you can or switch carriers. Currently I think the only one who doesn't lock the bootloaders (correct me if I am wrong) is T-Mobile.

Or as others suggested get a different brand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mattucf:
Could you direct me go an article or something that explains why guessing the unlock key is so hard. Couldn't we setup some brute force code generator to try to find the unlock key?

Maybe it is like 512 bit and would take 1 million years of attempts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordmorphous:
Just read up on encryption. That's the problem. If encryption was so easy to crack, then none of our online transactions would ever be safe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] grphx:
I have an AT&T S4

Rooted with the method where you install a bat on a physical sd card and run a terminal command... forgot which one that was called

Firmware 4.2.2

Baseband version: l337ucuamf3

(let me know if you need anymore info)

As far as what rom I want, I don't really have a preference, but anything close to stock would be good.

I don't have a 3rd party recovery installed that I know of. I tried to install Clockwork Recovery and it said it did but when I boot into recovery it doesn't identify itself as CWR.

Honestly, if I can get to at least 4.3 and not have root I'd be okay with that. Having root also would be cool but getting to 4.3 is most important. I need to get to 4.3 to use my moto360 if you are curious.

If you send me a link on a guide on how to do this, I would be grateful, but any additional info you can provide as far as why I'm having such a hard time installing a new rom would be helpful too.

So I currently have TWRP installed as well as root access on a developer M9. In order to go back to stock to get an OTA update I would restore my TWRP backup that I made before I rooted and then flash the stock recovery to my M9 found at this link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28830 ? Which recovery file do I choose, the signed one or the unsigned one?
[One (M9) General] Strangeland16:

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I feel it needs answered for future people...

If you are getting this same error: FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state) all this means is that you are in Bootloader when you just need to get into download mode. You can ONLY flash files and things in download mode with the HTC One M9 :) Hope this helps :D

Hi, I have an HTC One M8 Dual SIM which I managed to root and s-off. I need to get this back to stock but am having some problems.

At the moment my phone is as follows:

Software Status: Official

***LOCKED***

M8_DUGL PVT SHIP S-OFF

CID-HTC__032

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

OS-3.33.401.6

I have TWRP v2.8.4.0 installed as well

I have looked at the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 and managed to get the phone back to Software Status: Official and ***LOCKED*** I think but not managed to get S-ON or unrooted.

I have found firmware 3.33.401.6 for the M8 but not managed to find the actual stock OS.

Can someone point me in the right direction of what I need to do now?

This is the first time I have tried to unroot a device so sorry for anything I am missing from this post.

Thanks.

Thanks for the help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Well, you've go the right Model ID, so do this...before we start make sure the RUU I linked to is named ruu.zip (not ruu.zip.zip!) and that you have htc_fastboot in the same location (if you don't have htc_fastboot you can get it here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8L4pkbzdlR3eTlJSjdKVEdHX1U/). Also make sure you've relocked the bootloader using fastboot oem lock

1. Connect phone in fastboot mode

2. Run fastboot oem rebootRUU to get into RUU mode

3. Open a command window in the location where the RUU and htc_fastboot are

4. Type htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

5. Wait for it to finish

If you get any errors please post them up

[Google Chromecast] krystal404:
hey guys

i hope this hasnt been posted before because i couldnt find anything about it.

so im from germany and i have netflix and a 1year ipvanish contract.

i was wondering if i can unblock my chromecast(which i didnt buy yet) if i just connect with my nexus 6 with the ipvanish vpn app and watch US content since germany is pretty limited. or do i really need to look into other methods?

i mean... once my phone is on VPN i can access all the US Content, so it would just tell the chromecasst to get this file, am i rite? :eek:

or.... i might just wanna buy a prerooted Chromecast (germany or EU ;) ) since i really dont wanna buy all dem tools which im only gonna use once ?!

greetings and sorry if i overlooked the answer somewhere in the faqs or something
[Google Chromecast] xtrememc8:
You can't unblock Chromecast by simply installing VPN on your phone. This is because the content is delivered directly to the casting device from the Internet, bypassing your mobile phone; To unblock Chormecast using VPN, you need to install it on your router. Alternatively, you can use Smart DNS services but it won't work properly unless you block Google DNS. There is a detailed guide of how to block Google public DNS.
[Google Chromecast] Pietplezier:
The best way is rooted chromecast + dns service.

I can sell a rooted cc, but the shipping is expensive from the netherlands to germany, around €12...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerMUK:
Hi Guys,

So in short,

I've edited mixer paths and used franco kernel to mic boost - which sorted the MIC issue out.

But earpiece call volume is still too low, even with 5.1 now - has anyone actually found a solution.

Also why does the volume seem to have a mind of its own, it lowers itself at the start of every call and you have to put it back up.

Is there some sort of automatic volume adjustment going on ? Nowhere to turn it off ?

Thanks

So I actually tried using that kernel and and for whatever reason with my current ROM it kept crashing System UI so that's a no go. I have volume mic gain at 15 in the Franco Kernel app and people still say I'm far away. This is the only freaking issue I have with the phone.
[XDA Assist] TheN33k:
I just bought a G2 on craigslist. It came rooted and with custom recovery. Whenever I plug it into my computer (tried my mac and two other PCs) the phone does not recognize it's plugged into a computer (just gives me a regular slow charging warning). On windows when I plug it in I get a malfunctioning usb device error. I have tried many cables.

I also tried putting it in download mode, but it still gives the malfunctioning usb error and the progress bar never goes anywhere.

I think the device is missing a recovery partition (might be something I did while trying to fix it) because I can't seem to get into recovery.

Is this a hardware issue or what?
[XDA Assist] DKRACING:
Hey,

I used to be rooted with the stock rom, and had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM. Do you have XPOSED installed? If so, open it, and go to "modules". If you have something called "Xposed Media Scanner", hold it in and uninstall it.

For some reason, having that installed for me made my phone and Nook invisible to any PC.

Let me know if it worked :D
[XDA Assist] TheN33k:
Nope no exposed module installed :/

I'm about 99.9% sure it's a hardware issue at this point because even the official LG Flashing utility can't recognize the phone when it's in download mode.
[XDA Assist] DKRACING:
Well that still requires the PC to be able to see it.

Windows i'm guessing? In the task bar, bottom right, there is a USB icon with a green check mark. Right-click it, and see if it says G2 or Android Phone anywhere.

When I had this problem, I was able to see it down there, but again not in My Computer or anything.

Flashing a custom rom will certainly fix it though :good:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] beginner:
on my side I am happy with the test with Pocket Informant, pocket slides.

Bad expertise with pocket hack master. Times bad expertise with the print software coming with the device, I think is due the wifi is a little special on athena.

Resco explorer last version creates problems -I think is due too much options on network- managing files in other network computers.

Expensepro runs fine, except the problem with the screen if you rotate it.

About hw, I own a jabra bt8010 and no caller id support, I think is a problem of the bluetooth stack that jetware doesn't solve.

I have manage to quite a lot of programs working, yes some have bug and side effect, but there is always a solution to it. Pocket hack master works too. Actually you will find most of the good application out there works fine with Ameo, there is only very small amount that doesn't work
