Ok First..

there was a weird update for ATT and i updated.. no big deal.. device wasnt rooted

Looked at ping pong root to see if my build number was supported and it was! , so i rooted my device..

shortly after realized rooting a 5.0.2 is pointless because im into that SBGAMEHACKER app alot, and not having it makes majorty of the root pointless.. so I downloaded the latest ATT stock firmware off of one of the major posts here with all these links and downloaded the correct odin .. flashed stock firmware, went into the back door of the phone and did a hard reset/plus wipe cache ...

phone is great now and all but something wierd.. starting the phone, there is no att "locker" how it always be... and also the keyboard is not the actual lolipop keyboard, it has that swype ugly looking keyboard, tried hard reseting again by doing wipe factory reset etc.. and flashing using odin stock firmware again but no luck at all.. phone is fine and all, but its bothering me that its really not 100% ATT stock...

anyone have links to a true ATT Stock firmware for latest software?

Hello ! :)

I try to unbrick my Honor 6 since 2 days but nothing want to work.

I've used Multitool > Unbrick with EMUI 3.0 B316 and Developper Ed. 5.7.1 too without any results.

3 buttons method never want to show up (the phone just reboot again and again)

Fortunately, fastboot mod works perfectly.. I also tried to instal CM11 (bootloop) and liquidsmooth (bootloop too)..

I don't know what I can do next ?

Thanks for your help :good:

I've had a terrible battery life experience with lollipop on my G901F. I've disabled and tried everything. I have the UK EE G901F with that spyware tracer agent thing on there too on 5.0.2

I want to go back to stock KitKat (I've never rooted)

Can I do this without rooting and without voiding my warranty to knox 0x1?

And will going back remove that tracer agent thing?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
Yes you can downgrade and NO your knox wont trip as long as you are flashing the stock firmware and are not rooting.

1 Here is a list of available EE firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/EVR/ download the required one.

2 Go into recovery, TURN off the phone and press power+volume up+ home all at once, once in recovery perform factory reset> clear dalvik and also clear cache.

3 Then Put your phone in download mode (turn it off and press power button + VOLUME DOWN + home button all at once. It will warn you about installing custom firmware (dont worry its just a warning) press the appropriate key i think its volume up to continue. Once in download mode Connect your phone with usb cable. Right click on odin and run as admin.

4 click on "AP" and locate the stock firmware you downloaded earlier.

5 It will freeze for 8-9 seconds when you select the file (dont worry its verifying file)

6 once normal click options tab make sure ONLY AUTO REBOOT AND F.RESET TIME are checked *** DO NOT CLICK ANY OTHER OPTIONS***

7 once confirmed click start.

8 Enjoy :)

Do I have to factory reset? If so, how can I ensure to have all my data backed up? And what things will I actually lose i.e. icon positions

What does clearing dalvik do?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
I think you should do a factory reset because you are moving from Lollipop to kitkat its always better to do so but i am no expert on this so i am suggesting you to do it just to be safe. You will loose everything on your phone (except things on sd card like if u hv music on sd card it will not be formatted) but you can backup your pics and music on your pc and then restore afterwards. For contacts and sms backup there are many apps on market i use super backup by mobileldea studio, it will generate sms and contacts backup which you can move to ur pc and then reinstall the app and restore afterwards..... This way you will have your phone as brand new....note that poor battery life maybe due to some app or wakelocks so doing it this way will ensure that all of that gets fixed.

Anything I can use to back up my icon locations, app data i.e. game saves and phone settings?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
Titanium backup can do that but it requires root.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zzk2009:
So no other options?

What data will I actually lose?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zzk2009:
Also, on the link you provided, why are there multiple versions of the same android version? There are 3 kitkat versions.

Finally, what is the difference between the BOD1 lollipop and BOC4, can I go from my BOD1 version to the BOC4?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork997:
here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/EVR/ you can see different versions of Kitkat click on any file and it will show you its PDA, BUILD DATE AND CSC all versions are different i suggest you get the last kitkat release 2014-12-03 it should be most stable.

Your Second question that what is the difference between BOD1 AND BOC4. These represent "PDA" of the rom Think of them as different builds of the same rom. For example when lollipop came out it had PDA BOC4 and then samsung removed some bugs and released it again, this time it would have a different PDA for example it could be BOD1. So what going from BOD1 to BOC4 means that you are moving to a more recent version of the same lollipop rom...maybe it has bug fixes.

Ciao Giuseppe...

First and foremost, upgrading to various WM6 ROMs will not help you.

Try and upgrade your radio instead. Look into the wikis for the various radios to try.

But before you do all that, I hope your device is HardSPL.

Buona fortuna =)

Do you have the official ITA rom on your phone now? and also did you have the same problem when you used other roms? The only thing I can think is that maybe the ITA rom disables some functions. Maybe you can try another rom, or hard reset then soft reset before the customisations start to see if you get the functions back.

I'm guessing you want the ITA rom for the language - I can't help here unless you get in touch with schaps to help him translate his great rom into italian http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=312604

Hello.

I rooted my samsung sm-g800f phone using odin, first time i forgot to put the phone in the loader menu and the phone got broken.

I got the message: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again

I found a firmware here:

I installed it, and the phone is working again, but i get the message "has stopped working" On gmail, clock, and other apps.

I thought when i installed this firmware my stuff would be gone, but i got the same background, apps and so on.

The country for this firmware is wrong that might cause this issue, i didn't backup my original firmware.

[Note Edge Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
Hello edge users,

Been playing around with the edge screen sdk and just thought I would share with you a simple panel I made called Edge Air Command which serves as alternative to the stock air command menu. The app requires root access. Just download below, install, activate and grant root access if required.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] anh513bmx:
>requires root access

:(
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
Smart Select and Image Clip requires root access as they are allowed to be launched only by system level permission. Action Memo and Screen write does not require root access.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] JazonX:
Finally, Great and an innovative idea ! This makes things a lot easier. I can see myself getting used to this. Let's put a theme on it with some colored icons ? So it doesn't look the same as the internal aircommand.

Thanks [MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION]
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
The truth is I only made this and tested on an emulator as I don't have a note edge to test with so I just used the stock icons but if somebody can give me some icon replacements and color scheme suggestions then I might update it to allow a certain level of theming on it.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] JazonX:
For a moment there, I was overjoyed guessing that you have got a hold of a Note Edge - as we have a very few Dev's on this side of the world.

I have attached a screen of my stock air command which I have replaced the icons (inside drawable folder) of, with some stolen icons from some theme in some part of the Note 2 forum 2 years ago.

I will extensively test your app and I will give you a feedback on what needs to be fine tuned. If there is a separate channel for you to obtain feedback, do post here. Otherwise I will post as a reply here.

Once again , cheers to a great start!

[Note Edge Themes and Apps] JazonX:
Hey [MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION],

I used the panel for quite sometime, and tried to get used to it as a mainstream daily app. I find the following points, which could be fine tuned.

1 - There is no indication that an option has been pressed, hence you end up pressing the same icon 3 - 4 times until the action appears.

[Solution] - Make the icons change colour / highlight / turn into gray-scale / etc.. as soon as an option is clicked

2 - When screen write is triggered, The Air command edge panel gets captured in the screenshot - blocking a thin line of your wallpaper

[Solution] - When Screen write option is triggered, the panel needs to collapse back / hide before the screenshot is captured (ref screenshot)

3. - I see some room for one more icon below -

[Solution] - make the empty spot configurable for a custom action / app / shortcut

I hope these tips^ help you in anyway to fine tune this app. All the best!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] califauna:
Hi all,

I recently did a full nandroid backup on my i9100 onto the external SD card, then took SD card and put into another i9100 and attempted a restore on that device using the nandroid backup from the other.

When I put the SD card back into the first phone, a bunch of apps are greyed out and can't be launched. They appear in the app manager (in settings) and on the launcher shortcuts screen, but there are no icons at all in the launcher apps grid (where all the apps are listed). When attempting to move them back onto the internal storage, the message is that they 'don't exist' .

Looking in the 'android_secure' folder in the SD card (with the card in a card reader on the PC) I found it to be empty, and its empty in the root explorer in android.

When I did the nandroid recovery on the second phone I also did a 'wipe data', 'wipe cache', and 'wipe dalvik cache' on the device during the install. I assumed this resulted in deleting the apps which were stored on the SD card as well, so I ran a data recovery on the 'android_secure' folder and found a bunch of deleted '.asec' files., (though no apks). Putting one of these asec files for one of the lost apps back into the -androi_secure' folder didnt result in the app data being recognised on the device though.

So now Im stuck looking for a way to get these apps back (on the first phone I mean) and am hoping someone could suggest what I could try next. Would the wipe of the second phone whilst it had the sd card in it have also wiped out the apps on the sd card? Are these .asec files what got wiped?

LiteROm Custom based on Jelly Bean

Rooted i9100

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
Install titanium backup pro, and check if the apps are frozen. If they are, then defrost them and then you can use them. But, since you did a data-wipe before the backup, your data can not be recovered. You can also try this app, which can recover some data partially - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger&hl=en

Regards. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] califauna:
The apps aren't frozen - I have checked this and the apps are listed as grey icons that 'dont exist' according to the application manager.

I have done a data recovery using R-stuio already, and as I mention, .asec files were found for each of the missing apps (right there in the 'android_secure' folder on the SD card). Are these files useful, or do I need to recover another type of file?

After my phones battery was fully drained, i kept it for charging and after some time when i tried to restart it

Boot Logo animation appeared, then whole screen gone blank. It just shows the active notification icons and when power button pressed it shows power off option.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjg222:
I am having the exact same issue. Have you had a luck resolving it?

My phone battery died last night. I plugged my phone in, let it get about 15% charge, then tried to turn it back on. The phone boots like normal, but after the boot animation goes away, the screen is black. Active notifications still seem to work, and I can hold the power button to get the Power Down option. I can boot into the bootloader & access recovery just fine. However, my phone is fully stock (no root, no bootloader unlock, no anything). I can't seem to access ADB when the phone is powered normally (ie, when I'm at this mysterious black screen), but it's possible that USB debugging isn't even enabled.

So far, I've found a few people who've said a full factory reset will fix the problem, but I'm looking for another solution, or at least a way to grab my data before I reset. Since my bootloader's still locked, I can't seem to use fastboot boot to boot into TWRP, and I can't find any other way to access my data to copy it off the phone. I've tried wiping the cache using the stock recovery to no avail. Any suggestions?

Me too have tried many things for not losing data, my usb debugging was also enabled. But pc didnt recognized any device.
