I'm pretty sure it did, I'll try it again. Even the t mobile employees tried the same while at the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmacguire:
Is your phone rooted? If so, I would try Titanium Backup and try freezing an app called VZWSetup. I did something similar on my wife's S3 and it worked well for using the phone with other carriers.........
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vizi0nz:
Phone is not rooted, any other way of freezing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
Along with the APN, make sure the Message Center number is the correct one for T-Mobile: +12063130004

This should be in the Messaging app under Settings.

I am glad the last responder brought this up. Sometimes you will see proprietary Verizon and Sprint APPS that will not allow you to change the Voicemail either. If there is a Verizon Voicemail program I would freeze it too. As far as rooting your phone? No big deal.

i am looking for a good custom rom for my SM-P600 that is 4.4.4 based or 5.x Based. i really want to update from 4.3 because i can't install some apps now because i am not on 4.4.4 but i want to stick with a TW based rom. i do not want to go to a AOSP rom or CM rom . any suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Orion116:
For TW based Roms I would suggest Hyperdrive ROM. For AOSP I would recommend Temasek, LiquidSmooth, and BrokenOS.
[Note Edge General] amrobins21:
I just got the Galaxy Note Edge this weekend and it updated to 5.1.1. Well before the update, for the brief few hours I had it on 4.4.4 and it updated over night on its own and before it updated the Wi-Fi worked great. Well after the update, it doesnt work. I have connected to multiple wifi connections and they all do the same thing, it just connects fine but the speed is horrible. All the data it shows about the connection is normal but its like the wifi antenna or something in the update has been messed up? I have no clue. I talked to sprint customer service for several hours and the only solution they could come up with was exchanging the phone. So I did. And still the same thing. So the only option left is that it is because of the 5.1.1 update. Unless someone has any other ideas to make the WiFi work normal....

Hi,

Has anyone ever tried loading the firmware from a T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T?) onto a non T-Mobile version (such as an N900W8) in order to get the wifi calling capability ? Perhaps something like loading the system.img from an N900T to gain just the T-Mobile custom Android, but keep the modem and etc appropriate for my phone. Don't particularly care about Knox status triggering...

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wulfsburg:
Anyone have a link for the Verizon M7 lollipop hacked hotspot? I'm running a rooted stock Rom but can't find a hacked app/zip to install via recovery. All I could find were out dated versions. And of course third party apps from the app store are useless. I need this for work and really don't want to subscribe through Verizon or wipe my phone with a new Rom with it worked in. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alphax_0:
So i've been running stable slimkat 9.0 (4.4.4) on my galaxy s3 and it has been working great. I want to upgrade it to lollipop but I've had trouble flashing any lollipop rom. CM12, AICP, OctOS, PacROM all fail to boot after I flash in recovery. The boot animation starts, and I get the screen that android apps are initializing. After it runs through the apps, the screen blacks out and the phone resets and the cycle continues.

I've had no issues flashing roms beforehand. I can go back to 4.4. and 4.3 ROMs both AOSP and Touchwiz without any problems. I've flashed with both clockwork mod and TWRP and the results are the same. I do a clean factory reset and wipe prior to flashing the rom and 5.1 gapps.

I have no idea why it won't boot up for me. Would appreciate any help!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkart99:
Hello

Searched a little bit, but not finding much. Im rooted, running the latest tekhd. I have to encrypt my phone for work. I got it all set up and running the encryption process. When I start the encryption process, the phone reboots and just keeps going, no progress bar, no little Android man, I keep just seeing the startup Android for dots. Is that what's supposed to happen? That lasted 4 hours and nothing happened. I ended up doing a battery pull, then I kept getting a message on startup that encryption process was interrupted , & I had to factory reset my phone. I also kept getting a system UI crash message . Then I Odin'd my phone back to stock and I updated to the latest version of tekHD and I am attempting the encryption process again. It's been running for over an hour and a half the same way it did yesterday. I'm concerned that the encryption process is stuck and not actually occurring.

I don't have a ton of data, lost a lot because of having Odin back to stock. Any insight that anybody has would be appreciated.

I've got this Galaxy S2 since a couple of years and back in 2012 I rooted it following the method in the video below

How to Root Galaxy S2! [NEW][i9100]

the device is on android 2.3.3 (GingerBread) and according to the guy who posted the youtube it is a super safe method and it is but now I decided I want to upgrade it with a customized ROM from your respectful GS2 section.

my questions are :

1- following the method above; is my device fully rooted and ready to be flashed and tweaked around?

2-if my device is ready to go;Would anyone kindly direct me to the page where I can find a guide/s on how to install the tools required on the device (gs2) to do the move from 2.3.3 -(because through my search here most what I found was going up from IcecreamSandwich +) -to the newest supported firmware ?

Thanks for the great work you guys doing to support android devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Should work fine. It would be an even safer to update to official jelly bean first before flashing a custom rom as you will face less issues this way.

Hi, I am a software developer in Singapore.I like jokes and all other funny funny things. Recently I created an app called 'Funny Moments', initially it is just to share funny jokes among my frens, but now my frens ask me to publish it to get more people post their funny experience or just jokes on that app. I agreed and I think it will be my great pleasure that if I can make a lot of people happy. In that app you will play a role of admin, it's up to you to judge whether the joke is funny or not. If it's funny then let it pass so more people can see it, if not then it will be removed. If you like jokes and want to laugh often, please join us, let's create a kingdom of jokes, where only funny ones can survive!! :p:p

For now in the app there is already nearly 1 thousand of funny jokes. If you just want to read first, no problem! it's totally free! And all feedback or suggestions are welcome!

Google Play link: Sorry cannot post link yet, please just search 'funny moments',

iOS version is still under review, hopefully can be available in 1 to 2 weeks.

Thanks :D:D:D

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AndyYan:
Though I've already sold my own N7 2013, I'd still put this thread here because this is one of the most popular tabs around here :)

So, as the title says, I'm thinking if it's possible to force the classic dual-pane layout in Android 5.x... Like this:

It's already a shame Google removed Tablet UI in 4.4, yet in 5.x dual-pane is gone even for 10-inch tablets.

Back in Android 4.x, this can be done by decompiling framework-res (I used APKChanger back then, which has apktool 1.5.3 integrated), editing a bool value, saving and recompiling. I actually attempted this for 5.x too, but since apktool 1.5.3 doesn't support Android 5.x, I'm forced to use a bare apktool 2.0.x jar, which I am not so familiar with. I did all the steps just like what I'd do under 4.4, and all that welcomes me is a boot loop...

So, 1) is this even possible at all?

If yes, then 2) is there an easier way of doing this (e.g. an Xposed module)?

And 3) what could I have done wrong with my steps of using apktool - any alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone

What's the best way to change my CSC to BTU (from EVR)?

I've done a little research and found the following:

1. Root using PingPong to prevent KNOX trip

2. change CSC using an app (is this available for S6 in the app store?)

3. flash with BTU firmware and unroot

Is any of this possible, is there a better way?

thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roydok:
Yes, its possible while your still on 5.0.2.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail_ahmad:
Thanks roydok, whats the best app in the store to make the change as there are so many to choose from?

Also is there a simpler way, or is the way i described it the only option, esp for KNOX trip?

I've seen some other tutorials use the auto cf root way, is that ok to use or does that trip KNOX?

Lastly, if i move to BTU and update to 5.1.1 will i continue to get OTA updates direct from Samsung rather than my carrier?

thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiokicio:
As far as I am aware.. your csc will change by flashing btu... your root obviously be gone too. If you flash 5

1.1 you loose root but you'll gain ota from samsung rather than your carrier. Hope that helps
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlotters:
Skip the rooting and just flash the btu firmware from Odin. That will change your CSC anyway.

I was on vau firmware but changed to xsa using this method.

Just be sure the btu firmware us for the same variant of fallacy s6 as your device (I.e both 920F or whatever you're rocking)

EDIT

To get btu system updates going forward you WILL need to factory reset after flashing the btu firmware as your device needs to re-register with that CSC. There might be a way to force it to do that without a factory reset but I dunno how. So perhaps use smart switch or Helium (from app store) to backup whatever is important to you first :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail_ahmad:
Thanks dlotters, is this safe and won't trip KNOX? and no way of doing it without reset? I'll have to do a Kies and Helium backup before i start.

Which version of Odin should i use?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail_ahmad:
SSTIWARI's reply in the following post scared me http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/flashing-stock-rom-via-odin-affect-t3138019#post61992036

His Knox tripped when using a standard BTU ROM from sammobile and flashing via Odin 3.10.6, it sounds risky.

So going back to my original post, would that order of doing seem the safest? Would it even work? Still not sure which app to use to change the CSC.

thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlotters:
Strange. Everything else I've seen on here and other for UK mobile s suggest that flashing stock roms with Odin is safe and doesn't trip Knox. My own experience confirms that also. But I used the xsa firmware as I've the 925I variant so maybe it's different. Seems odd though. What about other people who have flashed btu firmware? Is his an isolated incident?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail_ahmad:
After adding my post, i did a little more research, even watched a few videos of the process from beginning to end and i'm a little more confident. Maybe it was an isolated incident, well hoping so.

Going to run more backups and try it tonight.

Did you still have to use the wipe option? if so what was your method or restore?

I've created another post but haven't had any answers yet.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/correct-to-restore-s6-types-backups-t3163101

thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlotters:
The reason you have to wipe/factory reset is so that your device registers with Samsung for updates against the new CSC. It was previously registered against the old CSC so won't get update notifications for the new one unless you do. At least, that's what I had to do to get XSA updates pushed to my (previously VAU CSC) phone. It's been confirmed by a number of other users over on whirlpool forums (Australian tech forum).

If there's another way to register the device then I don't know what it is

How did I restore? Well, I used Helium to do the back up of app data and sms's etc, so just restored via helium. Discovered Smart Switch backups afterwards but I've never used it myself so can't comment.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whereismyhat:
Hello all. this all started when i was editing build.prop to download an app in the store that was incompatible with my device.

I was editing my build.prop file on my note 2 (tmobile) and i was smart enough to make a copy before doing that, i just copied it to a random place the "downloads" folder, seemed like an easy place to remember.

After failing at editing the build.prop and getting the app i wanted, i decided to put the original build.prop back in the system folder and just give up.

Well im not sure what happened here, i think i deleted the edited one and tried to paste the original one, when i rebooted my phone, it wont boot up, screen wont come on when it boots up, etc.

now i know there is a good copy of build.prop in the downloads folder so for the past hour ive been trying to get that and place it in the system folder, im a complete noob to adb, which is what im using to try and poke around in there, but im horrible with the commands, and cant LOCATE the "downloads" folder, where i was planning on pulling the build.prop file, and then pushing it to the system folder.

I cant find online what the folder structure is like, and i cant view it because my phone wont start.

Can someone PLEASE help me getting to the downloads folder in adb, the command to pull the build.prop file, and then getting to the system folder (i have root access and everything) and pushing the build.prop file into there.

I think that should solve my problem, id even give 5 bucks on paypal or something if someone can give me an easy list of commands i need to do in adb.

THanks in advance everyone. I hope this is in the right subforum.

If you're using a custom ROM, the easiest thing to do would be to do a "dirty" flash of your ROM (no system wipe via recovery, only your cache). You won't lose any user data but things like the build.prop would be restored.

It also helps to have a backup so that you can simply restore it via recovery when trouble arises.
