Turn off automatic date and time and manually advance it by a day, and try again.

When they re-flashed KitKat did it wipe your tablet? The OTA failed me when rooted, failed me after un-installing adaway and un-rooting and removing KingUser. I cannot do a firmware upgrade via Kies 3 as it's not available. I cannot do an emergency firmware recover via Kies 3 as it's not soft bricked. I can't find either the KitKat or the Lollipop firmwares online anywhere... Currently I have a tablet, works fine, I did a factory reset (in the back of my mind knew this wouldn't work) that has a custom status and won't take the OTA.

If anyone knows where I can find the KitKat firmware, or the OTA, please let me know.

Or maybe someone could grab the OTA off their tablet after downloading prior to updating and share the wealth with the community???
[Galaxy Tab S General] Russ77:
Has any kingroot user tried triangle away, unroot via kinguser, and take the OTA?

Also just realized that if I can fail the OTA, I can obviously download it... Where do I grab it from if I wanted to flash it with odin or sideload?
[Galaxy Tab S General] fleabeard:
OTA came down successfully while not rooted. The reflash at Best Buy didn't wipe it.

As far as I know, the factory images for the AT&T versions aren't available anywhere, or at least I've been unable to find them. They obviously exist because I'm pretty sure the guy at Best Buy used Kies to flash with an image that's available to him from Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Russ77:
I re-rooted last night in the attempt of using triangle away to clear customs status, then un-rooting. This was odd because device status still shows custom but download mode shows official and Knox is 0.

While I was briefly rooted again I downloaded the OTA in the hopes of copying it to my PC and updating via ADB Sideload... Couldn't find it. If anyone knows where Samsung puts these I'll grab it and post it to share.
[Galaxy Tab S General] metfoo:
im not rooted, performed a factory reset, and my device still doesn't see any updates. Can somebody provide a link to the ROM?
[Galaxy Tab S General] bshaw100:

I've got the same thing: no root, no mods, no update available! Darn!!!!
[Galaxy Tab S General] gshaw1967:
I've got the same thing: no root, no mods, no update available!
[Galaxy Tab S General] leapinlar:
The OTA gets downloaded to /cache. If you are rooted you can see it. But the OTA is not a complete ROM, just a differential to the ROM you have.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gshaw1967:
still nothing

I've reset several time and cannot download the update. I get "Connecting to DM Server" and then update interrupted. Has anyone gotten around this?

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

Turns out there is a imei problem with the tablet that is preventing the download. My imei number is paired with a IPhone 4. Anyway will take a few day to fix then the upgrade should work.
[Galaxy Tab S General] metfoo:
I get the same. I wiped my device hoping for a different outcome, and still no update.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Russ77:
After not being able to take the OTA after rooting, even after un rooting, not being able to find the OTA and sideload (not in /cache), and not able use Kies or Odin I finally took it to the Samsung kiosk at my bestbuy.

They reflashed 4.4.2, didn't wipe anything, and immediately downloaded and successfully installed the lollipop update after getting home and on WiFi.

Just don't mention that you rooted ;')
[Galaxy Tab S General] metfoo:
I went to best by today hoping the samsung genius could help me out. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time. She wasn't familiar with refreshing with Kies, as she said they now have a new tool for that process. Her system also didn't have the ROM downloaded, as it was out of space, so she needed to redownload, which apparently takes hours on their internet connection. So, I'm still unable to upgrade. This experience makes me wish I had an iPad over the tab. With apple, I can easily download the ROM and install on my own. No hoops to jump through.
[Galaxy Tab S General] metfoo:
I went to a different best buy and they were able to refresh mine, unfortunately, it didn't change a thing. Still no available updates.
[Galaxy Tab S General] chungylau:
In order to get the 5.0.2 update, you need to have an activated AT&T SIM card inserted. Otherwise, it would show the message that software update is interrupted.
[Galaxy Tab S General] metfoo:
i have an att sim inside. i still get that error.
[Galaxy Tab S General] oneeye69:
So here is my story on this, I go to sansung in best buy he plugs in my tab and says there isnt a update for this tablet. He tells me that att has not yet released my serial number to be updated, ok so I call att and they tell me yes we did have an up date on june 16th but samsung tells them which devices to send the update too. I call samsung and they tell me there isnt an update at all for my device. And now Im on the phone with att again and he is telling me to just wait. OMG what is going on?
[Galaxy Tab S General] jlopez0109:
So bought the tab s 8.4 from ebay. Guy mentioned in ad it was rooted but that root had been removed and set back to factory settings. My guess is somehow it still has something of the root because the lollipop update always fails. I download it and once its installing it just gets to 25% then00 it starts again installing. The second time it just gets to 26% then it just says installation failed. I already checked and the device is no longer rooted. How do you guys think i can solve this problem? Thanks

BTW its the att lte version and it does have an active sim card.
[Galaxy Tab S General] polytek:
I am out of country with my SM-T707A, with no active AT&T sim card, and will be for the foseeable future. Does anyone have any ideas on how to update? If there was a capture of the ota from /cache could that be used?

I would just go to CM12, but there does not seem to be a release for this device. Am I wrong?
[Galaxy Tab S General] oneeye69:
Well I have not been able to get the update still, so I did a factory reset today and still nothing. I still get update interrupted every time I try an update. Nothing special done on this tablet, all stock. Sooo I call att again and for some reason I get advanced technical support and this guy knows what he is doing! He tells me that every time I try to update my tablet thinks it already had the update and rejects it,he had a log of every time I had tryed to update. I'm still waiting for them to contact me when the do a forced update for my tablet. I hope this works because this has been kind of ridiculous that I can't update.

Hi.

I have a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T707.

I tried to root my tablet, but I could not.

When you restart gave an error "Firmware upgrade Encountered an issue"

Can someone please help me :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You can't root that device it's has a locked bootloader, you're lucky you've at least got the firmware error and not bricked it totally.

Try the emergency recovery option in smartswitch or you may be able to clear the firmware error by wiping cache in recovery.

In trying to do the android update to version 5.0.2 and tells me:

I'm using an Otterbox commuter on my optimus G now and it's really great, but the phone is getting old so I figured out why not to upgrade to the G4. I went on researching about accessories and found this thing.

THE QUESTION: Have anybody used a Love Mei case before, and is this better than an Otterbox case?

I'm really interested in it because it's half of the price of an otterbox case on ebay.

I can't post links because I'm new, but just google "LG G4 love mei case" and you'll find the webpage of Love Mei.
[G4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
No case is better than Otterbox.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] billbond4:
battery seems better on this, only went down 2% in 8 hours overnight.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] szturchen_pl:
This does not mean you cannot use it, just it can be different in appearance from standard unbranded roms - for example can have different boot logo (matching specific operator - here Telekom DE), different colours, theme, wallpaper (usually matching operator's logo etc) or have different / additional applications as per operator's choosing (or actually less of the applications).

I cannot say what is different here as I haven't installed it. Whether you choose to stick to unbranded roms (like louis0815) or don't bother with such differences is up to you. Also sometimes specific modules of ROMs (mostly radio) are tweaked for specific region and work better or worse depenting on your operators infrastructure (at least I remember some time ago it was true for some HTC roms)

billbond4 good news on the battery, thanks for the input! Please keep us updated.

And, even more important, can you produce a flashable ZIP with root and recovery!? I will try it myself but maybe somebody is more into this kinda stuff...

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xangoch:
i think we should hold our horses and wait 3 or 4 days for an unbranded ftf which has less crapy junk...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] billbond4:
At boot up you get T-Mo branding and there is a few apps, most I could uninstall, but some I could only disable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] doenen:
Is it possible to root it!?

If so there should be no problem to uninstall any app.

In xperifirm they have updated more tmobile firmwares e.g. poland and hungary and there is another carrier with .283 out there now. "Cosmote" from greece.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aikon96:
Ok, I am also German user and got an available update to .283.

Does anyone know if this works on the wizard - and if so how to set it up?

I tried mucking about with the phone for ages without even seeing anything hopeful - and searches here bore no (recent) fruit.

For the benefit of those unaware - "line 2" is two numbers on the one sim - like two sims in the one phone with the disadvantage both numbers are from the same company - but the advantage of while selecting the outgoing number - both incoming are mutually live (my sagem and siemens have a different ring for each).

I find it hard to believe a facility I have used since the last century does not appear to be supported by a phone in the league of the wizard.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eran Says:
Weird and potentially stupid question. I dropped my phone battery in the tub today; not my phone, just the battery. The sticker turned pink, but looking at the battery it seems air tight.

Any chance I can use it again? Also is there any potential harm I could do to my phone by putting a potentially water damaged battery in it? It was only submerged for about 1 second. TIA for any responses.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
A battery is pretty tough when it comes to water, you won't have any problems im sure of it. I work in a phone repair shop and we get lots of water damaged devices in and like 70% of the time the battery is sill ok. Mostly its the build in batteries like from iphones or other closed devices that die.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
I assume you are using Philz CWM recovery and afaik there is a 'fix permissions' option somewhere, have you tried that?

Wait, your internal storage is located in /storage/emulated/legacy and that is where Titanium backup's default backup location is located at. I don't see how it could save in /data partition but you can specify the backup location from TI settings.

As far as I can tell, you don't need to wipe data, the first error (which probably is the cause of the other errors) appears as a permissions error and after you try fixing permissions from cwm the issues will probably disappear.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaban:
Thanks for your reply!

Yes, its PhilZ, and I can't seem to find "Fix permission", but wasn't that used to fix permissions on apps, that were moved to sdcard before android supported it natively?

I think I didn't make clear, what I was referring to by /data. I was talking about userdata, which in recovery gets mounted to /data:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata on /data type ext4

In this directory there is an other directory called data which contain all the app data. I thought /storage/emulated/legacy and /storage/emulated/0/ both were symbolic links to /data/media/0 (which is referred to as "internal sdcard", iirc) I have not looked at the mounts when it was running though, so I don't know where userdata would get mounted to.

Having a strong background in linux, this sure looks messy... ;)

The permissions of the directories look sane to me:

drwxrwx--- 5 media_rw media_rw 4096 Jan 1 00:00 media

drwxrwx--- 52 media_rw media_rw 4096 Jan 1 23:24 0

Maybe it would help, if I just flash the stock rom and root again? That wouldn't wipe userdata, would it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
Ah okay, now I understand.

Fix permissions when I used it worked for the whole system, so I don't think it's solely for the purpose of moved apps, however it probably also has the function you said.

Yeah that's what I would do in this situation, unless you can't think of another solution you should flash a stock rom again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaban:
Did that and it worked. Not funny, but once I enter recovery (no matter if stock or PhilZ) it messes up my phone again. I flashed several times to confirm this. Any idea, what I am missing here?

I'm using a Nexus 4 and trying to get rid of all the Google tracking services and their built-in Android background communications with Google servers. I have already searched the internet and found a few articles about this, however most of them were outdated or didn't answer my questions.

I do like the look and feel of stock Android, which is why I would probably go for CyanogenMod for this. In an optimal world, it would retain its current look and feel, but without communicating with Google.

My questions that I currently have pretty much are as follows (when using CyanogenMod):

- is it possible to keep using SOME Play store / stock apps but taking their permission to send information to Google? For example, I still want to use whatsapp and I doubt I can find it in the F-Droid store, or perhaps i like the Google camera app, and so on

- is it possible to turn off all Google tracking services (obvious things such as Google Now, but also the less obvious, like the constant hidden communications with Google servers) using CyanogenMod?

Has anyone had a problem with their gear shutting off randomly or shutting off when put on the charger? I'm running Tizen OS2 stock ROM. When I put it on my charger, it just shuts off. It doesn't power down, it shuts off. It charges fine and will boot fine when taken off the charger. It was turning itself off, randomly, while wearing it but that seems to have stopped with a factory reset. The only thing I haven't tried yet is re-flashing OA2 again. It's been very strange and going on for about a week. Flashed it about a month ago and it worked fine. Thanks all.
[Dell Venue] Isrks:
HI all

It's for the 3830 model i'm not sure if work on any other device

Few months ago I finally could change my tablet's battery icons so I want to share with you if you want to try

You need:

-A cwm backup only if a fc appears (then reboot in recovery, advanced restore, restore system)

-Xposed gravitybox module working (it's no necesary but is for avoid the bug appears

-a rom that works (for easy way) I recommend deodexed I cannot remember if works on odexed roms

-Rooted and knowledge about flashing through fastboot (for hard way)

If I miss something I will edit :D

This mod allows you to change the battery icons of your tablet and works, but it has 1 bug that I don't know if can be solved: :(

this is the thread where i found how to do the mod

The bug is that gravitybox can't change the color of the battery icon, but you can change the battery icon and this includes the color so it's not a big problem.

I'll try to ask for support at least for the screen freeze, but for now i'll tell you the method for installing it

There are 2 ways:

------->First of all have an updated backup if something goes wrong you need to restore!<---------

Then download my modded apk i'will attach all of they

easy way

is modifying a .zip file (you can do it even in your tablet but is slower and you need like 1.7 Gb free. In computer use zip editor I.e. Winrar)

1.- Extract somewhere in you computer,tablet

2.- Once made it erase systemui.apk and systemui.odex (if is odexed)from extracted directory/system/priv-app

3.- add my modded apk

4.-create zip ( recompile the files that you extracted)

5.- flash it in cwm recovery like a fresh rom

You can also edit the zip without extracting just go to the directory erase the files that I metion below then add my systemui.apk modded and wait for finish then do step 5.-

hard way

is when you don't want to break your head with you computer or you don't have it or don't want to use etc.

1.-locate my modded systemui.apk with a root Explorer then copy or cut

2.- go to root/system/priv-app/

3.- select systemui.apk and systemui.odex and erase them (maybe give you constant fc so you need precision and be patient

4.- paste my systemui.apk

5.- set permissions to rw-r-r (I'll attach a screenshot for how to do it)

6.- reboot and if you're lucky your battery icons will change wothout fc's

If you have fc from step 3.- this will take you a while only continue

If works go to NOTE 1 for avoid the bug and everything will go fine

Maybe hard way is too much

I attach only those that work maybe I need suggestions about the charging animations

problems check post 2

NOTE 2:

tis mod also allow to modules to change the battery icons with an xposed module xbattery themer If I not wrong. Also a theme compatible can change your battery icons maybe is a problem but is not a bug this is normal

NOTE 3

The first screenshot is v1.5 from attached zip then v2.0 and then 2.5

There are 2 versions In v2.0 only changes the charhging anim
