[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tanxsora:
The other night my gs4 running OC3 decided it didn't want to live anymore and randomly rebooted and hung at the ATT splash screen. Took the phone to best buy and had them reflash it. The phone would then boot but ran incredibly slow and certain apps just wouldn't open. Fast forward to last night and the network died. My IMEI is gone and everything having to do with the phones identification was wiped out.

I'd like to downgrade the phone from 5.0.1 to 4.2.2 and possibly get twrp onto it. I don't care about tripping knox or bricking the phone as I've already gone and got a new one. Worst case scenario I have a brick, best case I can install custom roms and use it as a multimedia device. Can anyone point in the right direction for experimental methods people are too afraid to test or guides that might help out? I did some searching and found a few relevant posts but nothing concrete relating to this situation. Any help is appreciated!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
So I am a developer, making a lockscreen app. Part of the app allows it to set a system lock for double protection. Upon doing this, it set PIN needed for phone to start up. The pin I had set wouldn't work so I entered it in too many times and it wiped my device. The weird thing is, the default password "0" worked in TWRP but NOT to boot Android. Now, after it wiped my device, it boots up to the Android screen, and tells me to enter my PIN again.. It still doesn't work, but tells me in -1 attempts my device will be wiped. How can I just get this all to go away and start again? I have root and TWRP installed. Is there anything I can do?

I can't even boot into Android because it asks for the PIN, even though it already wiped it. I can't use my phone at all.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Contact the previous owner for his unlocking gesture or code/pin and Gmail account, then factory reset and login with his account and when done delete this accoubt in /settings/accounts/. Then data factory reset again and it should be fixed imo. Or send your phone to the prev. owner so he can do it himself. Look here too http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-properly-prepare-nexus-6-resale-t3104504.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
I've had this phone since it came out haha. I haven't stolen it or anything. The problem came because I was solely testing on Samsung devices. Here, I set a backup PASSWORD in case you couldn't unlock your phone. My app was a device admin so it had the ability to set phone lock and lock the phone. What happened was when I tested it on my Nexus, between making the password and setting the password there is the option of "require at boot", which mysteriously, my app automatically selected. Now the issue comes in when I rebooted my phone and Google did NOT let me put a PASSWORD it, but required a PIN. This was an impossible scenario because the android lock screen was set with a PASSWORD, not a PIN.

The even weirder thing was that my app automatically sets the backup android pin to "0" if no backup password is set. When I tried 0 at boot it wouldn't work. BUT when I tried it in TWRP 0 was the only thing that decrypted the phone. I am still not sure why this whole thing happened (Google not letting me put a PASSWORD instead of a PIN if the device is encrypted. My app automatically selecting require PIN at boot, and the backup "0" working in TWRP when it wouldn't work to boot Android).

So [MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] I know it may seem like another thread where someone stole a Nexus and wanted to break in to use it. But I assure you I am the only one to ever own this phone. This was just a weird scenario that hopefully won't happen again.

But for the sake of the question:

Flashing factory images worked! Thanks [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION]

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylgo:
I made the jump to Lollipop on both my S4 and Tab 2 and i want to go back to Kitkat. Both are running TWRP and I was wondering if there are additional steps needed to downgrade them other than flashing a Kitkat rom on both...

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505-downgrade-5-0-lollipop-to-4-4-2-t3052472

Or you can just pick a good custom 4.4.2 rom and flash it. But why would you want to downgrade. Lollipop works fine for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylgo:
I wanted to play a few games that haven't been updated by SquareEnix for Lollipop on my phone rather than on my Transformer Prime. The Prime is showing its age...

So you only have to use Odin in general if going back to stock original firmware downgrading? I can use a custom ROM and not have to flash bootloaders or modems or whatnot?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Yes custom roms would be the easiest.

You can also use a solution like this:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469

Then you can run 2 roms on your device at the same time. You can even run that 2nd rom from your external sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylgo:
Alright thank you. Didn't realize how many games haven't been updated to support ART until I made the jump up. I'll try the Phoenix rom on 4.4.2 when my 64gb card arrives.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
IMO, hard drives will usually last longer running 24/7, then spinning down and up all the time. It's the transients that usually lead to both mechanical and electrical failures.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniel300:
thank you for your reply, according to this website it not a good idea to have it on all the time on but it is also says that it is a good idea to have it. here is a quote form it.

"There’s a careful line to walk here. On the one hand, you don’t want to keep your hard drives on all of the time, but you also don’t want to turn it on and off multiple times per day. Where do we mark the line? As a general rule of thumb, if you’re stepping away for more than a day, shut it down. If you’re going away for a few hours, consider sending the computer into standby or hibernation mode. Any less than that, you can either leave the computer on or send it into sleep mode with powered down disks." according to Joel Lee (www.makeuseof.com)

Device: Dell Venue 8 3830 (32GB)

Version: 4.4.2 KitKat

Root process: Temp CWM Session

I'm trying to paste a 31MB hosts file to /system/etc. I'm able to delete the old one on ES File Explorer but when I try to paste the new one ES File Explorer gives an error message saying there isn't enough space. So I tried using Root Browser and it will only do a partial paste of the file totalling to 18.09MB (I even get the superuser permissions popup), so of course I'm still seeing some ads that should not be there. So I deleted it (which worked perfectly fine in Root Browser this time) and tried the Terminal route by mounting and pasting. It did the same thing Root Browser did, a partial paste of 18.09MB. The only thing I ever change in the /system directory is the hosts file.

FYI: I had no problems pasting the 31MB file in my LG Volt's /system directory.

I have the exact same issue. At first I thought it was tilt-to-wake having poor gesture recognition so I turned it off. However I noticed without touching the screen it would turn on and then turn off after the stand-by time. To verify that was the case I left it sitting on my desk all day and observed that it would in fact randomly turn on and off. I also noticed that when the issue occurs the battery life decreases rapidly.

Also this issue will continue to occur even in theater mode.

I recently began having the same problem. The screen does not turn off after it randomly turns on - I have to manually press the button to turn it off. Needless to say, this tend to run down the battery. I did a factory reset this morning, but the problem persists.

EDITING POST JULY 20:

After factory reset, I actually had the watch doubly connected to the phone, so I have corrected that now. However the problem with the random turn-ons began occurring well before the factory reset. I'm not sure what triggers it, or what stops it, but when it begins to happen, it drains the battery very quickly. The problem only began recently (within the past few weeks), so I'm not sure what changed to bring this on.

This exact Sprint Version of the LGG3's seem the most troublesome. What worked for me(3rd of 3 ppl attempted this same device) was:

1)The newest of avicohh’s original one-click root LG Root, run on a stock windows7ultimate

2)LG's drivers(LGE Mobile ADB Interface) installed with error that device "was not currently running" in the properties

3)Windows had it show up as an "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" running without error.(think this is the biggest reason for many that rooting is difficult.. the device needs to be communicating properly with the computer for it to push the files even with putting phone into download mode manually as i had to do still.(I have tried on Windows8, Windows7, UbuntuStudio14.04trusty in KDE and Gnome modes, ALL were 64bit. -- Windows7 and XP seem to work as they are 32bit. not sure if the hardware bus in many peoples pc's are to blame???
