I didn t read everything about the downgrade procedure, but of what I have read you have to odin flash a specific KK version first, and then a specific 4.3.

Anyway, if it s really that risky maybe you shouldn t try and wait until we manage to release a 4.4 Una rom.

The problem is that the person that owns that phone uses it for business purposes, so I have to be very careful not to loose all the whatsapp, bbm etc. contacts and settings, and if it was ok to backup her rom, work on making una during nights and then restoring her original rom in the early morning, it would be a different story to switch from 4.3 to 4.4 to again 4.3 every night...

Let s see if I can convince her to use 4.4 as her daily rom, but I can t lie and tell her that 4.4 is better than 4.3, and I don t think she will accept to sacrifice her phone.

I meet her again next month and I ll keep you informed in case she accepts.

For now what you can do if you want to make your phone more private and secure is to follow what I explain in my security thread (check my signature "how to secure your phone").

All builds prior to NK1 are without KNOX.

NH6 is good and speedy.

I'm a dev too, and I don't recommend the over-VIP experience you're using to grab customers. I ain't sure, but it looks humiliating to you to give picky users a VIP experience.

Just tell them to get the hell off the thread if they hate the idea (I really like it and would've upgraded if I was a TW user. I use AOSP CM).

Also, the screenshots are from a Grand 1, and our device is SM-G7102, not I7102. You mixed up with the Grand 1 i9082.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] unclefab:
Oah you know, customers is maybe not the right word, unless they pay which is not the case:p!

Then I don t know if that can be called a vip experience, but I understand your point, maybe sometimes I m too nice, what to do...

For the screenshots, I didn t mix 'em, I explained in OP that I didn't have time to make any since I ran short of time, and that the ones I put here come from another phone.

A galaxy grand i9082, yep, well done, you have a sharp eye;)!

They are very similar in shape, layout and color (apart from the cascade icon to minimize windows that Samsung has removed after 4.2.2, a big mistake to my opinion), so people can get the idea.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] setmov:
In some ways you are right, but we think that being professional is not a bad thing, despite the fact that the forum is full of picky users, ready to make bad comments even without trying the product. Of course, we can and we will also give a VIP experience, but it is reserved for the ones that will earn it.

In any case we appreciate your support. Thank you

Removed battery for nearly an hour. Placed it back.

Flashed Cwm from mukulsoni via Odin again.

Booting up in download mode. Strange. Not in recovery mode.

Reset OK. My god successfully booted. Corrupted It's asking for reset.

resetting itself. It's seems OK.

I installed una

hi

As no one had guts to install this. I decided to give it a go... because i firmly support this developers Point of view about invasion of privacy

I downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3

then restored this UNA..

After booting up.. I see nothing has changed,,, its exactly how it was..:crying:

Restored again... this time after booting.. it said Android is upgrading...

same.. nothing changed

:silly:
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] -->:
Any update or progress?

:confused:
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] unclefab:
Sorry for the late reply, I havent been very much on the forum lately...

Did you install the rom using the recovery mentionned in OP?

Because using another recovery could prevent installation.

Good luck, and let me know if it works, thanks in advance!;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] virginwidow:
My device. Only had it a week. Been reading more on here that I've actually tried to use the fone, cause the first thing I discover is it's "broken" (which means it works the way "THEY" want it to, not how *I* like it to) ... Am on Verizon based pageplus carrier, don't need any verizon anything I don't think it'll get OTA updates (but need to be sure about that)

Question 1: Got a 32 gig class 10 Sdcard for it, do I format that ext4 (like the rest of my linux?) Or ??? I have heard people unsing fat32 but .... Just tell me what works & by what means (program CLI whatever, w32 or Linux, just whatever THIS phone likes best)

Question 2: Need to totally back the whole thing up before I try to tame this poor beast. Have both odin (all the flavors I could find) and heimdall. would be wise if I could extract not just the whole "blob" but also radio, system, etc so forth (I have found a Pic file)

how to . Yes I've looked.

Question 3: Odin or Heimdall? Or Jodin? I've tried turning the innernetz upside down to find some kinda .chm or .pdf for this Odin thing, nuthin.... I've seen a few good general guides but nothing explaining it's function. Ditto for Heimdall, but atleast I can look at the comments in the code on the Github .... Of these tools, which is best documented / most reliably EFFECTIVE / best supported?

Question 4: Obviously my phone is broken because it was boot-raped when previous owner took 4.4.2 It appears (?) there are very limitted options to getting it 1/2ways usable (but not really RESTORED) with Ghetto-root and Safestrap, I have some access to the phone and can use only some ROMS? No Cyanogen-mod? Losts of warnings in colored boxes, but they say use Heimdal.... Other things I've read says this wont work.... nothing clear on their side.

I need to know how to back the poor thing up first, and get the memory card working before I even try Ghettoroot and safestrap (I already tried GR and failed, and thought, dumbass better make a backup before going any further):eek:

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hellstorm32:
Qestion 1: I usually use the phone to format the SD card. That's the surefire way to make sure that your phone and computer will read the card.

Question 2: I use Odin to flash stock ROM, but haven't tried Heimdall yet, but heard good things. If the devs in this forum say there's no way to unlock the bootloader on a 4.4.2 SCH-I605 yet, I believe them. Don't try anything else unless you know how to unbrick it yet.

Question 3: Just format your memory card and try the ghettoroot like I did. I have Safestrap running as well, and am going to try to flash some modified 4.4.2 ROMs today. I'll post something later indicating my result.

Question 4: Your phone isn't broken, just stock.

It's hard for me to justify asking for too much help with this hardware, considering it's age. I'm late to the root game, but have some good tech knowhow, so I would recommend just trying things. Ghettoroot the phone and get that to work, then flash the stock rom back just for practice with Odin. Then ghettoroot again and install Safestrap, and make a backup onto your external SD Card, so if you run into any problems you can re-flash that using safestrap and get back to normal.

Soft bricks can be fixed with Odin. But hard bricks are tougher to fix (Opening the device and shorting a resistor sounds like it would be fun to try, but I don't really want to risk that with my daily driver phone unless I absolutely have to). I learn by practice, and if it wasn't for this site I wouldn't know crap. Much thanks to the devs and all people with their questions and answers that have taken me this far! And, we'll see if when the SDK comes out for 5.0 lolipop if anyone wants to crack it for the Verizon Note 2. Hopefully they do, cause I'm learning programming, but I'm nowhere near that far yet!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] virginwidow:
Thank you thank you

:cyclops::cyclops: I know..... "they" broke it to keep me from breaking it myself... but I bought it, I paid for it, I will suffer the consequenses and how will I ever learn anything if I don't break it a few times? "they" do not encourage learning... THEY ENCOURAGE BUYING... my phone is full of Amazon and Verizon and NFL for God's sake and I can't use an addblocker without root!

It's (to me the annoying noob) utterly justifiable to ask for help. The phone is old enough it's no longer under contract and is now available to purchase for cash (I only draw $700 month in disability, I could not afford these new jewelry phones)

Furthermore the phone is old enough that plenty of people smarter than me have had LOTS MORE TIME to really get to understand whats going on with it, how to make it better etc....

Good Luck, I'm gonna format the card tonite

Under 5.0.1 Lollipop, how do I (or, can I) make external SD writable? The TWRP installation app claims to make that change (I think), but it didn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G3] vel0city:
Go to the playstore and search and download SDFix by NextApp and follow the instructions in the app. That should fix your external sd card problems
[T-Mobile LG G3] noteespirit:
Yes you can. In recovery (twrp) go to wipe/advance wipe/ select sd and press change file system/ choose fat. When done reboot to system.

Through play store, download sdfix. This will surely help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] choliebrown:
I was kinda wondering the same thing. I haven't tried twrp but I have used the sdfix tool as SuperSU and it says it worked. I was wondering if users like myself could get some more information on the whole write issue. Specifically! Getting a torrent program to write to the sdcard. After all why would I need root for any other reason? Please help with step by step instructions. Any experience at this is much appreciated.

So far I am luck y to have root. I am getting more familiar with adb command interface. I have been reading about rebooting and installing apk's from the boot menu but, this is all overwhelming for someone who just decided that google is a b.i.t.c.h. and it's time to jump on the xda ban wagon. So far my torrent programs either only write to internal space perfectly, or write to sdcard with small file sizes, stopping prematurely or even stopping only to refreash and start the torrent all over from zero percent. The torrent app ability is all so sketchy at best when it comes to using it with lollipop 5.0.1 lg g3.

Let me know if this is not the place for this discussion and I will delete this post and follow your link.

The gpt.bin and motoboot files won't flash because you are trying to downgrade both versions which cannot be done.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
Alright, my not-so-perfect yet-working solution.

I flashed TWRP. In the recovery (wipe-advanced-repair or format) I realized that all the partitions (system, cache, data) are corrupted and showing size zero. So I formatted all of them to ext4 and (just to be sure) ran REPAIR.

After repairing the partitions I enabled MTP - it didnt show in my PC, but reboot helped - and copied GPE 5.1 Untouched (http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510) into the storage. Then, I installed the ROM in TWRP and rebooted - dont let the recovery install SU, it ended in loopback (during first boot only: after successfully entering my google information and rebooting into recovery, I let it install SuperSU and it worked fine).

Voila, phone working again. :)

I checked the process once again and it worked. But when I try to flash anything now, partitions get corrupted. Weird.

I know, but I was going to sell the phone and I hoped relocking would make the Warning Bootloader Unlocked sign go away. :) Later, I read it doesnt - too bad.

But generally I'm quite satisfied now - the phone has a newer system, no Bootloader Warning, it has Czech language now and the new user is a total newbie so Im glad that (thanks to the TWRP) she wont lose her internal storage files when doing factory reset.

UPDATE: I flashed stock recovery (Brazilian 5.0.2) to make Factory reset be able to format even the /media/data partition, as was intended. Just to make sure the partition can be wiped in case of trouble. GPE 5.1 recovery didnt work btw.

I know there's another auto brightness thread but I think my problem is different. I'll turn it on, leave the phone in standby for a while, and when I use the phone again I find the auto brightness doesn't have the check mark there anymore? Has anyone else noticed this?

I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast when I was using it. That's when I realized my setting was at full brightness but the Auto had become unchecked so it was running at 100 constantly without auto adjusting. I've used the 100/Auto checked on all my other Samsung devices dating back to the Note 2 and S3.

I'm thinking it's a software glitch which will hopefully be fixed in a future update. If it is, I'll live with it for now...

Simply rebooting - gets me back into Recovery

Turning everything off and plugging into my computer to charge - screen stays black and constantly vibrates

Odin flashing - keeps failing
