If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DBugg:
I'm down, long as no damage is done.. like bricking
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
OP here. :)

It's unlikely to brick but I don't even want it to trip the Knox flag, let alone bricking!

My main focus as of now is I527M (Canadian variation). I can say that I527M uses logic board of I527, so I'm guessing it's just a matter of software issue that people are having so much trouble rooting I527 at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] friendlyG:
I was able to root my Mega 6.3 sgh-i527m

Hello all, I found a few articles that lead no where, Then I saw this forum talking about using Package Disabler. Download it from the google play store. Kill any process looking like Knox Icon. One will not allow it as Package Disabler will need Admin access to your phone and remove Knox Admin privileges, Disable last Knox Package. Then Boot into Download mode with Odin 3.09 on. Root your phone as normal, except for the Reboot automatically option. Uncheck that feature as you want to boot into Bootloader first. Once your into the CW custom recovery or the recovery that comes with your choice of rooting, Install latest version of SuperSU. Finish and boot back into Android. Get Root Checker to verify or Titanium Backup. I used Titanium Backup to un install everything related to Knox. No more Nagging Knox popping up and phone is rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
Well, rooting SGH-I527M was possible and pretty simple to be honest. What I wanted to achieve was to root it without tripping Knox.

I'm sure your Knox flag is tripped, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JCSouth:
I have root!!! I527 4.4.2

Kingroot latest version 4.1.0.249 (From androidxda) successfully rooted my phone. Knox didn't get tripped until I tried to do a custom recovery on my own, which admittedly, I don't know what I'm doing. But other than that, it did disable knox and worked perfectly. I do have screenshots, but it won't let me post outside links because I have less than 10 posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] A Christian Guy:
Yes people this work finally we got root..Thanks to JCSouth he funded
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
I tried it on SGH-I527M unrooted Mega and it didn't work. It went to 52% rebooted and said root failed.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
App said no root available for my device....did you get this message as well and went ahead with root anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
[MENTION=4347001]txnolesfan93[/MENTION]: You can proceed. Report back if successful.

[MENTION=6732489]friendlyG[/MENTION]: any updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
Success...? Said root successful and titanium backup says I have it too. Sgh-i527 4.4.2 baseband nj1
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
Root checker says as well
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
I get this when I restart my phone. Phone boots fine but I have no idea what it means. I uninstalled knox with titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
This
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JCSouth:
Yeah, unlocked. That's the same thing I got on my old Nexus S when I got fastboot. It's unlocked, but still have an issue with AT&T software. If someone can figure out how to get around that, I've been trying and spent all night trying to get my phone back to where it was, working backups and custom roms can be created.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] txnolesfan93:
Ok...nothing really just that I was able to get knox back in my phone and when I try and update su it says that knox has been detected when I took it off it said just that I couldn't update su....so....yeah. but unlock is still on boot. I hope we can get this thing cracked.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
As a record in the history of mankind, I've been living with this phone for months happily without rooting it, but now I can't take it anymore. It is ridiculous that I can't sync my Dropbox to the external SD card! What the hell KitKat!!! I am very close to root this baby, in an unstoppable rampage!!! :) Seriously, what the hell Android team! I am very close to say goodbye to Knox 0x0...

But I might wait a bit more for [MENTION=6674985]Kingxteam[/MENTION] and PingPongRoot ! :D

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Ok thx. will try them will it wipe my encrypted phone?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
As long as you don't format data you won't lose what's on your "sdcard" If you want to remove encryption, backup everything to your PC and format data in recovery. Reboot into recovery, connect device to PC, transfer ROM and whatever kernel you want to the device, and flash like normal. Just make sure the kernel you choose doesn't force encryption. After you're done you can move all your stuff back to the phone.

Edit: I'd also recommend AOSIP with hells-Core kernel. AOSIP should be getting an update today if you want to hold off on flashing for a bit.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
I want a new rom. so i need to format data. i want blisspop. and i have chroma.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
You don't need to format data. If you have TWRP just do the normal factory reset wipe and you can flash a new ROM. If, however, you want to remove encryption then yes you must format data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
But dosen,t factory reset wipe data?

Sendt fra min cloud white nexus 6 med ?? ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
Yes and no. When you swipe that bar in twrp for factory reset, do you lose everything on the phone? Like music, pictures, etc? You shouldn't. Hitting the button that explicitly says format data...that wipes out literally everything. Hence why I said backup your stuff to your PC. That only matters if you want to remove encryption though. Otherwise just factory reset in twrp and flash away.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Yes i know if you press format data and type "yes" it wiped everything and no pics and music dosen,t get deleted when i swipe factory reset but now i have lean kernel and chroma it might have been another story?

Sendt fra min cloud white nexus 6 med ?? ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
I was running chroma with zen kernel for about 2 weeks, then chroma with leankernel for a week, and then last Monday switched to aosip with hells-Core. Tuesday is when I decided to ditch encryption. Up until then all I had ever done was factory resets.

If all you want to do is flash blisspop and/or a kernel, you don't need to wipe the entire device. A factory reset is all you should need. If you're worried that encryption is somehow causing issues for you, it's very simple to remove. Just follow these steps:

1) Backup everything to your PC

2) Reboot to recovery

3) Format Data -> type "yes"

4) Reboot recovery

5) Move ROM and kernel .zip files from PC to device

6) Flash ROM

7) Flash kernel that DOES NOT force encryption

8) Flash Gapps/Su

9) Reboot system

10) Manage to control your excitement while waiting for first boot to complete :)

If you're planning on sticking with leankernel, it doesn't force encryption so you should be fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Vindicator and blisspop, is that a good combinaton? idc about encryption i rather want it off though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
I've never used Blisspop. I also haven't tried Vindicator yet either. I was going to flash it today. I've tried Chroma, Euphoria, Liquid smooth, and AOSIP. I don't plan on switching from AOSIP for a very long time. As for kernels I've tried leankernel, Franco, Zen, hells-Core, code_blue (not the depreciated version here on XDA), and elementalX. hells-Core is by far my favorite so far.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Ok thx.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhizzat:
Did you flash the required sepolicy patch (when using a kernel other than the included modified Franco Kernel) after flashing Lean Kernel? Zephik has the link in the OP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Yes.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAcube:
Ended up with blisspop and leankernel :) underclocked it to 2.5ghz.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Very nice. I think it's a good list.

'3)' Causes a.o. that backups made with TWRP are wiped. Be sure the connection Phone - PC works with adb/fastboot when the phone is booted manually in recovery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royredman:
does hells-core kernel force encryption?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
no.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royredman:
Can anyone explain to me how I would know if something is force encrypted or not? Sorry, I am brand new to this phone and want to have a non encrypted overall phone. IS it the kernel the is the only thing that could force encryption, or could the rom individually do it also? Thanks for your help guys!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
Kernel. Most Roma will overwrite kernel too, but any respectable dev does so with a kernel that does not force encryption.

I just like to pick out a kernel, and flash it right after I flash whatever ROM, before I reboot... Just to make sure.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Coming from another rom, wiping (factory reset) is needed. TWRP shows a message about that.

The internal storage is kept, but the device needs to be configured again.

A format is needed when changing encryption - decryption v.v. than all your data is gone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musicbee:
After I installed CM ROM Titanium Backup doesn't have a menu button and I can't access settings. I had this issue on both CM 11 and CM 12.1. I looked through the settings but didn't find the cause. 'Expanded desktop' isn't on.

I still have this issue. I found a quick way to access TB preferences, but menu button is also missing in other apps like Firefox. I have absolutely no idea what (CM) setting causes this to happen.

HI guys,

I have a Nilkin power stone wireless charger. It was working great so far but I recently come across an interesting issue. The charger only works with the original galaxy s6 adaptive charger , galaxy s5 charger or the pc usb port. The other chargers ( iphone 5 charger, numerous other usb chargers) I have refuse to work with the wireless charger. It shows the phone charging but it doesn't charge. Same issue happens with the Nexus 7 as well. Anyone come across similar issues ?

Hi this may have already been answered but I'm having trouble locating any information on it.

When transferring from my laptop to my tablet, some of the time my files transfer fine while others won't.

Now before someone says the formats are different. I have made sure the file formats are the same.

I have included a picture of what is happening.

I have reformatted the sd and managed to get a few files on, then the same thing happens. Even previous files which have worked before come out the same way.

Please help me its doing my head in.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
Dear All,

I have a problem with my galaxy tab 2.

I had a CM 10.1.3 and I have tried to flash it with branded Polish ROM (by T-Mobile)

Any ideas ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
You flashed a ROM for a different tablet or phone on your tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
No. I've just used a ROM downloaded from sammobile prepared for P5100.

I read that it may be caused by damaged kernel...

Samsung was not able to handle this case - they advised me that I have to contact the offical techincal support.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
What is the model number of your tablet? It can be found stamped on the back of the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teargas66:
As I have already mentioned it is GT-P5100
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
Sorry about that. I thought you were saying you flashed a P5100 ROM, but it wasn't clear if that is your model number. You are saying you have a white screen during booting. Do you mean that it shows a white screen and does not boot or that it does boot, but with a white screen instead of the regular animation?

Can you still boot into download mode? Or recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
It means that my Galaxy Tab is starting normally but with white screen. The same situation has place when I try to boot it in recovery or download mode.

So, I can't see anything on the screen even in recovery or download.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
Starting normally meaning you can get into the system and use applications? Or you think it starts, but cannot tell due to a white screen?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
Based on the sounds which were place during the booting the device (before configuring the device) I know that the tablet is turned on properly.

Accordingly, the device is working but I can't see anything on the screen because it is still white. I suppose that it is caused by the CM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
Assuming that you can get it into download mode, you could try flashing stock through Odin again. Idk if it will help. Standard disclaimers apply.

jrc2
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
So....

I have tried to do these steps numerous times. Unfortunately it is not working on my device. Today I found info that I can try to flash my tab with PIT file.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
Be VERY careful when messing with PIT files and repartitioning. I would recommend using Heimdall to do this, rather than Odin. I have seen numerous people brick when attempting this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakałko:
jrc2

But the most important thing is question that if the PIT file would solve my problem ?

W8 is the Core-M and resolution upgrade of the pretty good, high-end Baytrail (but only 32bit OS) W3.

Available in 64GB and 128GB versions, with gold or gray coloured metal back. Price ~$460 USD (64GB) isn't terrible for supposed ~2x performance over the W3 + 2560x1600 resolution, 4GB RAM, (most likely) licensed 64bit Win8.1 'with Bing' edition + large 10,000mah battery.

3G/4G capability is unclear, with 'external 3G dongle' mentioned. Perhaps takes the same Huawei 3G UltraStick as the W3, or something else. Either way, not yet clear if the '3G dongle' is included in the pre-sale listings?

Any more word from any of the suppliers? I was torn on waiting for reviews but I miss having a tablet so I'll likely buy this on release day and hope for the best :S
[Windows 8 General] _gl:
No nothing and it seems nobody has stock yet. I'm in the same boat, will probably buy the 128GB from Bangood (though I'd prefer the gray back).
[Windows 8 General] _gl:
If you're not following the W3 thread anymore, it seems some people got a non-original W3 keyboard (or maybe unbranded sightly different ones from the factory) from Banggood. So we should ask for a picture of it before ordering.
[Windows 8 General] NeoMatrixJR:
It's the final countdown....

So, if the information given by banggood is correct this should go on sale sometime on the 15th. That means that at some time after ~ 9pm or so central time this should be available. :) I'm hoping they don't change the price much. Of the other core m tabs they have the onda and the cube and the teclast is also "alert me on arrival." It's interesting, I just noted that they have it looks like 3 SKUs for the i7... 64gb, 128gb, and 128gb + kbd (increasing in price). The Onda (64gb only) also comes with a keyboard. Only the Teclast and the Pipo have the > FHD screen and the teclast is listed at $669.99! I'll have my fingers crossed all day today waiting on word for this. Good luck to anyone else considering it.

From Banggood last night after I inquired about an update:

I see pipo-store and pompmall haven't released this either. I hope we'll see something soon. I indicated that other sellers have said it will come with the keyboard so I'm hoping this changes from Banggood. If they keep to selling without the keyboard I may have to purchase elsewhere....
