[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaikNaw:
Hello, I'm not completely new to rooting but the last device I have rooted is the first Samsung Note. So, I'm not sure if anything has changed thus, I'm here to ask the experts some questions before I move on. My current device is, SM-N910G with stock Lollipop.

I'll be installing TWRP as the custom recovery and will be doing a backup immediately. My plan is to run CM12 as daily driver. So, I would like to know is CM12 ready as a daily driver use and if anything goes wrong, can I restore to my backup like the way is it with everything intact and application settings all in place? (I understand that CM12 is still a nightly thing but I don't intend to flash it every night for the update, maybe once per week.)

I researched and found out that Xposed isn't quite steady yet but how limited am I in terms of customizations using the good old xposed modules?

Any other good roms to recommend besides CM12? Been reading in XDA about SimpleROM, CMRemix, etc but only CM12 seems the nicest to me, IMO. Although, I understand the limit in S-Pen functions and multi-windows stuffs.

Is there any other way to un-root and go back completely stock besides using Odin to flash back the firmware? (KNOX will always be tripped, ye? Sammobile is giving me a hard time to download the stock firmware but they're still awesome nevertheless so is there any other site that I can download from?)

TBH, I'm still deciding whether to stick to stock or going away. It'll trip KNOX however my warranty isn't done till Oct and I'm not sure if my local store does care about KNOX or not. Is there any way that you can convince me further to go away and root my Note 4? (I'm into backing up my entire OS, use Greenify and Amplify to increase battery life, AcDisplay modules to remove the home button unlock, customizations that Nova can't do, etc. So are they worth it to root?)

Lastly, pardon me for the long post and hyper paranoid questions.

Thank you for any replies.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allfiredup:
Hi,

Is it possible to pair a second remote that is already paired on one Fire TV box so that it works on my 2nd box upstairs? I no longer have the first box, just the remote. I keep trying to pair it and the my 2nd box won't pick it up.. im thinking its because its still paired to the first one???

Basically I had 2 fire TV's... While spring cleaning today my daughter put one in a bucket of water.. its gonzo.. I know the remote works on that unit as I used it earlier today. My upstairs Fire TV has its own remote, but the up button has been sticking a lot.. I want to use the basement remote upstairs rather than forking out $60+ for a new remote... It just won't pair.. no matter what I try. I was thinking.. Maybe its because it was paired to the first box??? I can't turn the first box on as its destroyed, so I don't even know how to unpair it ??

Thanks so much! I really appreciate any guidance!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
So I was going to reinstall Cataclysm ROM because it has been giving me problems the last few days, mainly it's been dropping my WiFi signal forcing me to switch it on and off just to use my phone, like once every minute

So I downloaded the file to my device, and went to flash it, but I wiped the dalvik and cache, and I pressed data I'm pretty sure, 100% by accident cuz I was so mad at my WiFi signal constantly dropping

Anyways now my phone says "No OS Installed, are you sure you want to reboot?"

I just did a few hours worth of research and... nothing seems to work

I've tried a few ADB sideload guides but I can't seem to follow what they're saying since my screen shows something completely different than what theirs shows

I checked a couple forums too and no one else was experiencing what I am

So I've come to you guys to help D:

Basically I have TWRP installed, my computer doesn't recognize the device when I use the flashall.bat in Windows, so I tried a few different cables, same thing

Any other ideas?

I saw the USB OTG method works, should I just buy one of those and try it out?

It's just like an add on hard drive that I'll load the ROM onto right?

Do I have to flash the stock img or can I flash a new ROM, like Cataclysm again, or Carbon or something?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
I'm going to go buy one of those USB OTG drives, a Kingston 32 or 64gb one from Canada Computers

#fingerscrossed it works guys!

If you have anything else for me to try let me know!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Flashall.bat, which uses the program fastboot, isnt meant to be used with a recovery (in this case, TWRP). It is to be used on the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
Yeah the bootloader is the menu with the reccovery, restart BL, and start, and poweroff right

i tried it on that menu too, did not work

be back in an hour, gonna go get the usb otg, good sale right now, $15 for 32gb!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
Back in business! Picked up a couple of USB 32GB OTGs for $15 each (WICKED)

Plugged them into my PC, transferred 3 ROMs over (Cataclysm, XtraSmooth, and Stock IMG)

Just tried Cataclysm now, and it's working, everything was successful, and no problems!

Damn I love USB OTG
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
If it did not work there, it must have been a missing driver issue. Or your fastboot setup.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
Okay so I flashed Cataclysm ROM and XtraSmooth ROM but they both give me a black screen after the white "android" logo is done

I think its the black screen of death

Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Wipe /data before you switch roms
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devchaube:
Got it working last night, since I couldn't do it using TWRP or CMD

I just used Wugs Toolkit, selected the bricked / bootloop option, and flashed stock + unrooted it

Loaded the newest imgs available, so I'm good for now

I'll wait a bit, see if the WiFi thing comes back on stock, if not then it was probably something to do with Cataclysm, I didn't even save any logs to hard to see what it was :(

Thanks for all your help though!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
It didn't work because you didn't install the drivers for adb/fastboot properly. Anyhow nice to see your device is working again! :)

Has anyone gotten their computer find their G4 through cmd (adb devices). I cant get the adb message on my phone to allow access to my computer. I turned on and off usb debugging several times but i still don't see the message on my phone to allow access. I let me computer download the drivers when plugging up my G4 as well as allowing the install of PC drivers.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermessiah:
I was having the same problem..

You need to install the LG Drivers and then your phone will connect via adb..you will be asked on your phone to allow the port connection after installing the proper LG drivers. Verify and you will be good to go..:D:D

I used these ones below in the attatchment or you can grab them from.....

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memtenn:
I think I found the issue. I had Note 3, 4, Nexus 6, S6 edge, and G4 all still on my computer in the device manager. I uninstalled all of them plus I uninstalled the adb driver in device manager. Plugged my G4 back in and ran the PC driver update via G4 and it worked. I can now see my G4. Don't know if I had to do all that to get it working but hey it worked for me.:D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akomack:
I was having issues with this myself and didn't find a solution. I found out that I was having better luck switching it to Camera PTP from the notification dropdown. Sometimes I have to toggle to MTP back to PTP, The dev notifcation should appear when it is actually connected.

1. PTP

(1a. switch to MTP back to PTP if it doesn't work)

2. 'adb kill-server'

3. 'adb devices'

-If you see your device, you can try to 'adb connect **IP**' but it will most likely say it was unable to connect

4. give it your adb commands you want

It's the only way I've been able to get adb, hope this helps!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almalikiy:
I was having this issue also. After install win10 then adb connection to my LG G4 (h818) was not detected. Back to android.com, it said that if general USB driver doesn't work then we must find OEM driver to the producer web. LG ADB Driver was about 17MB. After installed the driver then it was immediately detected. Thank God, finally.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1123:
I have silly problem. I bought used G4 LG from someone found in online forum. Checked all series on phone (sticker), on software "about phone" all showing LG H815 software version H81510H, but by adb ( linux machine ) showed H812xxxxxx .... :D set on developer option debugging the command "adb reboot bootloader" just send device into android boot ( device boot ). I wish to unlock the bootloader and put CM. Hard button option > pushing vol up + power button simultaneously did nothing, vol up + power button then > connect to PC via usb, did nothing ( just send phone to device boot ) ..... I have no windows machine :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] morgan1202:
Good Evening,I am a noob so please forgive me for my ignorance.

Device:SM-G925F

OS:Android 5.0.2

Device is Unlocked

Root:Yes it is,method used is pingpong root tool.

Xposed Framework:Cannot Install says my chips etc is not yet compatible.

Quick backround,I'm new too android however I have basic C++ programing skills and also Java ,don't know if this will help me or not but mentioning anyway.

My biggest fear is too brick phone as I don't know anything, not even how too avoid it,just a point in the right direction would be great too learn.I assume this forum is very strong however I believe I need a basic understanding before I can fully utilize it,please correct me if I am wrong.

So first question,how do I go about creating a nadroid backup,no idea what that is but realize it's important.

CWM backup how do I do it,what do I need and how do I start

From what I can tell,only after that should I start playing around,so if you could point me too the best resource of info a guide that would be amazing.

I have decided too attempting changing my boot loader as a first project as I am hoping there's the least risk involved.But I cannot achieve anything even close too achieving my goal.

Maybe I'm rushing but just heat me out quickly.

No matter what operation I attempt too do in recovery mode,I get a system error that ses dm-verifiy verification faluire.I have restricted access from what I can see ,when I try too apply from sd card it ses fiction disabled gives same error for all other functions.

Last thing ever since root when I turn on my devices it gives a SU notification error that ses download cannot continue please try again later,after that as far as I can tell everything works fine,bear in ming I'm clueless so maybe it isn't.

Kind Regards

Morgan

I'm a fan of reading and learning so if you know of resources that will help me along please post links.I am hoping that after not too long I will be able too ask the right questions.less critic at least.

About for a month, i'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my VPA 3 (BA) GSM, it's always disconnecting and bugging, communicator is ok but the phone is terrible i can't call normaly cause time to time i's disconectting the same thing with incoming calls. I tryed reflashing to 1.12, 13, 13.1, 15 Radio modules it's mostly the same, also changed roms 1.40, Helmi 5.04, Xplode's Aku 5.35, Aku 5.35 WM6 fake ROM, no big differences in phone fuction, it's always bugy! No physical damages to PDA happened, also found that then battery gets down to 55% it's starting to bug, then it's charging looks like no problems with connection. I'm charging with USB sync cable to PC (have no cradle) maybe this is a problem? Also WIFI connection is mosty imposible, i think this is radio problems... Plz suggest any solutions for such bugs? maybe registry tweak or any software for radio stability? or it's hardware prob?

Thank You guys.

Hi guys

I’m new here and I need your help.

I have Samsung S4 International bought on amazon in US, no simlock.

I use this phone in Ireland in Europe.

Everything was ok until a few months ago when I lost 3g connection. Science then my phone is working in 2g only mode (gprs/edge speed)

Phone was running on stock rom android 4.4.2, I thought it is a software issue so I rooted phone and installed CyanogenMod. Unfortunately it did not help 

Phone still synchronise with 2g network instead of 3g even in capital city next to BTS.

I was wondering is 3g module broken and what could be a reason of that? Do you have any idea how could I fix it, what would be a cost of doing it and is it even worth it.

Except that, phone is working ok. GPS with finding a fix is a little bit slow but this is not a big issue.

Thanks in advance

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thealexday:
Hey everybody!

This is my first post and I'm new to the "rooting" scene but I've been spending extensive amounts of time researching and studying the fine art of rooting recently. Everytime I meet someone with an Android phone, I immediately ask if I can root it for them! Unfortunately, MY phone is a Verizon Note 3 running OTA Lollipop 5.0... Needless to say, at this point, no one's had any success rooting this elaborate puzzle that Verizon has so kindly constructed...

Now forgive me if this is just a crackhead fantasy, but I had an idea that's crazy enough that it just might work (but I doubt it)... I have a rooted Galaxy Gear smartwatch and since I've been overindulged in the rooting culture (and occasionally high enough to think outside the box while munching on some Taco Bell), I started wondering if there would be any way that you could use a rooted smartwatch that connects to the "unrootable" device to somehow bypass the security measures that Verizon has in place to prevent doing so...

Am I delusional? Or is there a remote glimmer of hope exposed by this idea? I'm sure someone out there who knows a helluva lot more about this **** than I do can enlighten me as to why this is (likely) a nonsensical idea... right?

To everyone out there who've been imprisoned by Verizon in this unrootable beast, we will prevail! I have been to the mountain top! And I couldn't see much because it was really cloudy ☁... BUT, I THINK MAYBE I saw a root on the V-orizon! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmccoll:
I have been reading in forums about rooting and unlocking phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 . Model # is SGH-S959G.. It is Android version 2.3.6 and has Gingerbread UDL12.

I want to unlock the phone as it shows in my settings that Network Lock is "ON" and SP Lock is "ON". Subset lock is off as well as CP lock..

I understand that I may have to root the phone. I see from most of the threads I have read in various places, they were posted back from 2010 and up to about 2013. I am not seeing anything that appears to be current in threads that tell how to do this. I am wondering if there have been updates or changes, or even if this phone can be rooted or unlocked.

I purchased the phone at full price from Walmart. Used Straight Talk as the provider, but now I want to simply change to another provider using this phone instead of the phone they want to provide. When I bought the phone, unlocked and a lot of other things meant nothing to me because I was totally unfamiliar with phones. I still do not use the phone too much. I am 63 and not savvy to most of this, but did want to make sure I know all the facts ( as much as there are any ) before doing anything, as I am on limited income now and sure can not afford to really mess up my phone. Can you tell me if there are more updated posts or news on how to root or unlock this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
First, welcome to the XDA forums. There is a dedicated thread for your device, you can find it here. In the first post you'll find very specific information for your phone, so my recommendation would be to check there and see if it answers any other questions you might have.

To unlock you don't necessarily have to root your phone, but if you DO want to root the procedure is much easier than it used to be. Just download the Framaroot app from this thread and use the Aragorn exploit when prompted. Then reboot and you'll be rooted.

But again, you don't have to root just to unlock.

Here is a link to an old app that used to work for unlocking the i777/959... https://app.box.com/s/mu8xp28np9y7f9r9psqswljhhlhkfx3q. In order to install the app you may need to go to System Settings > Security > and check "Unknown Sources". This will allow the app to install, bypassing the "Play Store-only" check. If you're uncomfortable leaving "Unknown Sources" checked after you've installed the app, simply uncheck it it afterwards.

Because these devices are older and out of the warranty time-frame it's perfectly legitimate to unlock them, so see if that app will work. No guarantees, though! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask here, but you may find better answers from those users who actually have your device, as I have a tendency to over complicate things!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmccoll:
Thank you Steve. I did use the link and downloaded the old app you provided link for, but it did not work after following instructions. It gave me a message about Root Access Denied, Please check your ROM is rooted. .. Does this mean I would have to root my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Probably, but it isn't a big deal if you decide to do it. In every sense rooting is actually beneficial, as it gives the user compete control over their devices and what's installed. You can root and never install a custom ROM, so the only thing that would be detrimental would be if you had to return it for a warranty issue (of which there is a way to unroot/return to stock). But because these devices are out of warranty due to age, there's no reason not to root.

So my advice would be to download Framaroot from my previous post and use the Aragorn exploit, then reboot and run the Sim Unlock. That should work.
