[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
so i can flash 4.4.2 directly from 4.2.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Yes you can with Odin, but do your know the bootloader version of 4.2.2 you're on? If you're on mdb or mdl you probably don't want to update. On 4.2.2 you can use twrp or cwm custom recoveries and flash any roms your want. Once you're on 4.4.4 you'll be limited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
okay that's kinda uncool of samsung to lock the bootloader, how would i know which bootloader i have? how do i check? i have installed safestrap by the way... any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Go into setting, about device. Look at the last three characters build number. That's a good indication of what your bootloader is. If your rooted the best way is in a terminal emulator type

su

getprop ro.bootloader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
OK I did that it says MF3 in the last three for the build number...

And thanks again man for helping me out... I really appreciate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Ok, mf3 already has a bootloader that you can't do much with. Definitely update to nb1 by flashing the tar file in Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
so will have to unlock the phone for carriers after i upgrade to NB1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
If the device is already sim unlocked it'll remain so after flashing the stock firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
first of all, i wanted to thank you for your swift replies and help, you've been very generous, thank you ...

final question, is 4.4.2 a good upgrade from 4.2.2? is it worth it? i've read 4.4.2 had some issues with the S4... should i remain on 4.2 or upgrade to 4.4? what do you suggest? i've got the firmware (NB1) downloaded alongwith Odin... should i go for it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
I would. It has bug fixes and you can update to lollipop if you want. You can still have root and safestrap if you want. There really is no downside to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
Hey man just wanted to say thanks for your guidance. You've been very helpful. I'm running 4.4.2 and it's great, smoother and better than 4.2.2... Thanks for the prompt replies.

Cheers :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Glad it's working for you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jafferkhan:
I'm glad you were around to assist me. I know I'm bad but could you tell me about the the S5 launcher? Can I use it on the stock NB1? Also another thing, is it true the Nj4 is better than NB1?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjowol:
Hello, first post on this forum, so yeah ^^ I am also kinda new to this. I have a gs3 which is rooted and all, but that is old, and methods has changed...

So i tried to root my shield tablet and it got stuck in a boot loop. I can not get it into the bootloader using adb tools, or fastboot, or atleast i knot know how to. I have ran the: adb reboot bootloader, without success. I have also tried the: adb devices command and i dont see my device there. I have installed mini adb drivers.

This happend when using this tool(windroid): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499926

So im thinking that if there is a way to get out of this, that would be great. I really hope i have not bricked it... all i wanted to to was to get root so that i could connect a ps3 controller... :/

I tried to use the windroid program but the recovery did not install. so i did it manually following this tut http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316

im am not complaining or anything, purly looking for help.

So, after trying i got it up and running. i did not flash any supersu.zip files, just installed it from the market. wen it asked me to reboot the device ended up like this. I am aware of the disclaimers and stuff. If i go to device manager on my computer i can se: SHIELD Tablet, with a yellow triangle. I also searched youtube and this forum to look for posts, but found none that could help.

**Update** I found out how to get into the bootloader manually, so ill continue trying...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Doudou:
I have a brand new Verizon Note 4. There is no french language. I wanna try and flash the international samsung firmware on the phone in order to have the french language.

Would it be possible without bricking my phone. or is there any language pack i can download instead.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Li:
You can't flash any ROM because the Verizon note 4 bootloader is locked

Many verizon phones have international languages I sometimes send phones to Poland and for example motorola phones do have Polish on there and b unch of others.

It's samsung phones that don't for some reason.

Try morelocale2 but you will need to give permission over adb and remember it won't 100% change the language only some parts.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Doudou:
Yeah already tried morelocale2. As you said its partial. And also you have to do the process every time the phone reboots.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
That's weird when I used morelocale2 it would keep the language after reboot. I know when you go into languages you won't see your language but it would stay on there anyway..

are you on lolipop or kitkat?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meboy:
I get a blue led for sms.

No led for emails with kaiten mail. Then tried gmail and still nothing.

Will try stock next.

Double checked that it's not blocked in app notifications (it wouldn't be by default and I didn't touch it).

This is on regular Sound mode and Blocking mode is Off. The new Silent mode in LP still disables LED and Alarms as far as I can see.

Edit:

Turning on Gmail sync in Accounts and using the Gmail app gives blue led notifications.

Email used to be white on S5 with blue for sms and had settings I believe..

Now it's just on or off. No control.

Does everyone just use Gmail?

Surprised there hasn't been a thread about this.

I need to buy a spare charger for my Atom Exec, one that I intend to leave in my office. I tried a lot of chargers with it but the only one that works is the one that came with the unit.

So other chargers do not work with the Atom Exec? The only way for me to charge it is with an ActiveSync PC via USB trickle charge, and the adapter that came with it.

What are your experiences?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] afterlife:
Hi there,

I'm using some OEM charges and not all charges will work fine with Atom Exec... I had to try a few model on the spot and got 1 tat can charge my Atom Exec.... And i also found out that a O2 Mini charger is workable also...

Try ur local store which allow you to test the charger on the spot to ensure the one you are getting works...
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] yetdy:
Guys, Try to get a motorola phone charger. Atom versions have special protection inside that prevents other chargers from working. The same is true with motorola because motorola and gigabyte installed the same protection to their units. I've tried OEMs but only those that work on motorola phones work on my atom. It is the same with car chargers. I'm currently using a car charger for motorola in my car, the stock unit at home and USB for my office.

so finally I tried flashing other moto e version modems, after successful flash I don't get any signal at all, when I checked the nv item in qpst I see only few items available.

Just would love to do some experiment by undervoltong redmi 1s. Unfortunately I don't see a kernel with undervolting support. Perhaps you know about one?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] BATVIC:
Xcelerate has under volting
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Angelina7:
Thanks. Tried it today and didn't work out .. probably I did something wrong.

First of all .. finding the correct kernel was confusing. So I downloaded the last one offered at sourceforge page .. which is labeled as R2 but I am on R26. I assumed it would work on both.

Second its a zip I was expecting an img file. anyway flashed it from twrp and cleaned both cache, cm11 did boot up. But it also messed up a few things .. like my lockscreen is gone, a few buttons are not working and plenty of fc. This is the first time tasted FC .. never seen a FC on stock Armani ROMs.

So I guess I either downloaded the wrong kernel or didn't installed it properly. To be honest I don't need anything from this kernel expect cpu voltage control. I get great battery life from stock armani kernel and I am happy with that.

Could you please give me the correct kernel for CM11 R26? and install instruction. Also if you don't mind, can you please confirm if its working with cpu voltage controls?

Thanks a lot :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaglord:
Hey!

There are many Intel z2580 android devices out there without proper Kikat updates. Sure they may be lesser known but some have a larger following.

Few manufacturers have made the effort to provide kitkat updates for this modern chipset. I'd say there is a significant interest to at least try to create some generic port of the few kitkat firmwares that are available. This could be the whats needed to get the ball rolling.

What are your thoughts? (Check out the post below for a few details.)

Thank you for reading.

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.

Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.

My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.

Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.

[AT&T LG G2] DaOldGrandpa:
So my LG G2 popped up a message telling me there was an update available (yay lollipop). Having TWRP installed I didn't take the update at first. However, I found an app that allows you to switch between a custom recovery and a stock recovery. When I switched to stock, I booted into the recovery to test it and it worked. So I went ahead with the OTA. Instantly, my phone was stuck in fastboot mode and I cannot get into download mode or anything else at all. Any options anyone?
[AT&T LG G2] DaOldGrandpa:
I'm trying to use fastboot with adb to re-flash the stock firmware now. When I open command prompt in the platform-tools folder and type in "adb devices" it shows none. When I type in "fastboot devices" it shows a question mark. If I type in "fastboot reboot" it will communicate with the device and reboot it. I can't tell if I have a driver issue or what the problem really is.

Yeah sooo i accidentally the flashed wrong gapps ie for lollipop 5.1 onto a 5.0.2 rom (Resurrection Remix 5.3.9), which in fact already had its proper gapps. How this happened was because i was doing this in MultiROM and i guess i lost focus for a second as i was supposed to flash that onto a 5.1 rom (EuphoriaOS 1.1). Obviously then my RR rom then began to throw up gapps crashes eg youtube, play services... I did a full wipe and then reinstall the rom, gapps, kernel. Twice. To no avail, i still have some(less severe) crashes. I restored a nandroid once with data ticked, once without. Followed by full wipe. And still. Why in the hell isnt that gapps getting off my rom??

From GPE, I wiped everything in twrp recovery. Flashed the gpt.bin file I had linked to there, and then rebooted to recovery again.

Then I decided to go back to stock 5.0.2, flashed that, then cm12 and then cm12.1. But thats just how I did it anyway.

I had to flash the gpt.bin file to re-partition the system storage, because its different to the stock and cyanogenmod. I flashed stock 5.0.2 just to be sure there wasnt going to be anymore problems when flashing cyanogenmod. Then I flashed cm12 to see everything booted right, and cm12.1 with the 5.1 gapps.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjandroiddeveloper:
For flashing cm 12.1 if you are currently using gpe 5.1 converted, you dont need to do all that **** like flashing stock 5.0.2 then cm 12 and then cm12.1

You just need to do this

In twrp recovery go to wipe and change data partition file system to f2fs

Then wipe every thing in recovery and flash cm12.1
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekdeshmukh:
1st step - wipe and change Data partition to f2fs ONLY or should i change the partition to f2fs for all (data, cache, system, usb)?

2nd step - wipe everything meaning dalvik, data, cache, system BUT NOT internal storage and USB - correct?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjandroiddeveloper:
You have to change file system to f2fs of data partition only ,don't change other, if you do there is no doubt your device will not boot but it may cause several other problems

And after changing file system of data partition you need to wipe dalvik,cache,system and data

No need to wipe internal storage (data/media)

And where does USB come in this ???
