[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keinalu:
Hi. So I'm an owner of a new N910C (bought in Austria, I believe it's Polish distribution). It's running 5.0.1 and I'd like to root it. This is my second Android device, so please excuse me if I don't understand something painfully obvious.

According to this post the root for 910F 5.0.1 should work for 910C as well. It doesn't for me. It stucks in ODIN (at cache.img.ext6) and doesn't give me a fail message or anything, so I had to disconnect. The firmware was of course broken, I flashed the stock ROM, it booted, gave me the android.acore crashed error, I did a factory reset + backup. At first I was blaming the USB port, so I tried a different one, the same result.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help.

I have had a problem with my touchcreen for 2 weeks now. The touchscreen all of a sudden stopped working, i tried all the suggestions on the wiki to re-align the screen. It didn't work. I then replaced the touch screen and it still did not work. My hermes isn't in warranty so i had no choice but to get it fixed myself. I then rang HTC and they told me it was a software fault and they have no solutions as of yet but are looking into it.

I have seen, looking through the forums that many of you have the same problem as me... do any of you think HTC will be true to there word and find a solution, or will we all have to live with smartphones now?

Joe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Quite frankly I don't believe HTC's answer. Yes some of these cases maybe software related in which case a hard reset should fix it. If it doesn't then the device is faulty and should be replaced under warranty if possible.

However most cases in my experience are neither hardware nor software!!!!! They are related to the pressure put on the screen/digitizer by the case/bezel and are often intermittent, apparent when device is warm or in a few cases permanent alignment or no screen response is shown. Many report random or even predictable responses such as start menu opening and applications closing despite no user taps on the screen.

I have made several posts telling users not to spend money buying new screens as in the majority of cases there is no fault with the screen or indeed with the software but rather a proportion of cases put pressure on the touch sensitive screen.

I would further point out that a software issue would be apparent for all those with that model - this is not the case.

Hello

In some cases, the problem is in a broken conexion under the main processor of the PDA (no phone processor). In other cases, you can see if have a dent in a surface of font case, around of the display. It causes a false measurement in the touch screen system.

Please, you excuse my bad quality for English.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
Just bought this ebay case from ebay seller yellowknife_cable. Not a very friendly seller BTW and I think they are doing a switch and bait. They are using another product's images but the item they actually sell are just bad, if not one of the worse copies I've seen.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271692429375&alt=web

If you look at the camera cut out, it is way off centered and is touching the top lens of the camera. This prevents that portion of the case to touch the back of the phone and is slight lifted off. I'm not sure who designed this but it's clear it was not test fitted and probably was based off some incorrect schematic of the note 4. The other issue is the bottom part of the phone doesn't fit well and exposes part of the phone's bezel. I've tried putting it on from the bottom first but this doesn't help. Also this case is not ultra thin as they advertise. This case is not expensive but you can find a lot more better fitting case than this so don't waste your time. And don't waste time with this seller. They want you to drive to USPS, pay for your own shipping first, then they refund and reimburse you for return shipping after they determine it's defective. For $6 dollars, who would want to go to the trouble. It's just a waste of time overall.

I sent them this image and they still think it's not defective. Really? Again, dont waste your time with this seller.

Here are more full images

Here are some images of what they posted on their listing. Clearly false advertising.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] SebasC:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NitrogenX2:
yes. not working !

quastion from wanam and reply this :

Samsung removed the flag "CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP" from Stock kernel, that's why you can't disable SELinux with usual "setenforce" command.

You can try to build it from Samsung sources with this flag enabled.

but i not a developer and i cant edit source :(:(

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEGAX91:
you can't change selinux to permissive due the lack of SELinux Development mode in stock kernel.

you should compiling kernel from source and add SELinux Development mode. ( BOC3 source is not available yet )

use this guide.

this is U.K v19 source.

Hi, i want to install custom roms for my sgh-i747m s3 which is from bell canada. But im kinda confused on what rom to install. Im fine with kitkat roms with theme support. Can i ask you guys on what custom rom should i install which can be used as a daily driver (stable) ?

I currently have i747MVLUEMK5 bootloader and i already install philz touch and already created a backup :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Here are the CM11 snapshots. They haven't posted a new one in quite a while.

The nightlies are here and they're much more recent builds. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on with kitkat right now. I've run the nightlies recently and they were nice and stable.

There is an unofficial CM12 thread maintained in the developer section of the forum here. Its pretty solid, but it is still working through some issues with camera, ril, etc.

I can flash d2lte custom rom for i747m canadian s3 right ?

Does installing custom rom can brick my phone?

And how do i uninstall them ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can flash any ROM that is made for the d2lte, no others. For ROMS that are based on a Samsung i747 kernel, the success of getting everything working on the ROM can be hit and miss.

Custom ROMs do not usually touch the bootloader or modem. If you're not sure, carefully read through thr thread before flashing.

You can't uninstall a ROM, you can only overwrite it with another ROM or you restore a previous ROM from your nandroid backup.

Can i install cm 11-m12 snapshot? Is there any chances of bricking my device while installing it?

One more thing before i flashed philz touch theres some lone saying in the stock recovery "qualcomm secure boot:enabled" i dont have any idea on its purpose
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
the CM ROMs do not contain the kernel.

yes you can flash the CM 11/12 snapshots (d2lte).

there is ALWAYS a chance of bricking a device when flashing custom ROMs , but you should be fine.

the "qualcomm secure boot:enabled" message , means the bootloader is in a secure folder ( :thumbup: [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION]).

Thumbs up for the reliable members of XDA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I found this on another forum re: Qualcomm secure boot:enabled

I can not vouch for the accuracy of the statement.

I am frequently seeing reports that CM12 and the most recent nightlies of CM11 require a KitKat bootloader and modem, NE/NF at a minimum. (But then I have one or two state that they are having no problems with the 4.3 bootloader and modem.) If you go with CM11/12 and have connection issues you may need to upgrade past MK5 to resolve them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
This is a great point.

Look in your settings -> about phone and see what baseband it says you have. Then have a look in the firmware section in sammobile.com, look up i747m then find your firmware number. Just to get a feel for how old it is.

Before you flash a custom ROM make a backup. Once you flash your custom rom , if you find you have no signal or a blank imei, don't panic. Restore you backup and see if signal, data, and imei come back. A modem that doesn't work with your ROM will look like a blank imei. Don't just start googling lost imei, it won't help, and you might make the problem worse.

And if you root your stock ROM, before you flash anything enter this in a terminal.

su
reboot nvbackup

That will fix a Samsung derp and give you a working efs backup instead of a blank one, making it a lot less likely you ever actually lose your imei.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Another great point.

This is supposed to poputlate a partition(s) left empty by Samsung. I have done this to my Captivate and to my SGS3. The partition is not overwritten during flashing stock or custom roms and serves as a permanent nvdata backup.It is used to automatically rebuild the imei/nvdata if it is fouled during flashing. It is unknown as to why Samsung left it empty. My guess is that the partition would be specific to each phone and would therefore require each phone to be individually handled to populate the partition instead of batching entire production runs.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Are you trying to restore the backup using the same make of custom recovery with which you made the backup?

If you made the backup with TWRP you can not restore it with Philz.

Also coming back from any of the 5.0.x Lollipop roms you may well have to perform a complete wipe. Not only must you wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data; you may also have to reformat system or even your internal sdcard. I have read of a few instances where the person had to restore a stock recovery and do a factory reset with it, for some reason this seems to reset differently than doing a factory reset from within a custom recovery. (I don't recall the details.)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JulesJam:
No, root alone doesn't give you that.

They are modding the build.prop or using Xposed modules to do it. Just like you would have to do if you had root any other way. The mod to the build.prop has to be done on the pre-rooted system.img and then flashed. Same with Xposed - it has to be installed in the pre-rooted system.img.

Search for the threads on this.

Thank you for taking the time to offer a more detailed explanation, I don't feel comfortable at this point with this $20 root, not because of the money but because I feel there is a good chance I will mess up my phone and when I ask for help I will be told to use the "search" feature.
