[Sony Smartwatch 3] Trolltest:
Hi!

Do you mean selecting the "sideload" option in recovery? Yes I have selected this (by swiping down and then right to validate the choice) and my device still does not show up in adb. Have you been able to do this on the SmartWatch3? I feel like most people have experience with the LG G Watch...

In order to flash TWRP. I need to unlock the bootloader, don't I? If I can avoid voiding my warranty, that'd be great...

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
My first thought was the sideload option. I did not do it, but am on an SW3. I went right to option 2.

This does not unlock your boot loader, or void your warranty. What it does is hotboot another Rom (in this case recovery) without writing it to disk. I did do this, and it worked well.

This is the thread I followed. Skip the fast foot unlock step. That. An void your warranty.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Trolltest:
Oh! This is pretty awesome. Trying it, thanks a lot!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Trolltest:
YESS! lekofraggle, I owe you a good one :)

So, for future readers, here is the procedure I went through. I have tried many different ways, this is the only which yielded results, so I'll only explain this one:

1) First, make sure that when your watch is connected to your phone, it displays the notification prompting you to upgrade your andoird wear version (I am not sure it will work if you don't have this notificaiton) (note that this notification only appears when the watch is connected to the phone in bluetooth, for me)

2) Follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3107501 instructions to hot boot TWRP 5.0.2 (yes, even though you're in 4.4, does not matter (too much)). (command: fastboot boot twrp.img)

3) Root your watch by downloading the rooting zip from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3342605&d=1433157678 and "adb push yourzip /sdcard/root.zip"

4) In TWRP, your watch, go to "Install" and select "root.zip". You watch is now rooted.

5) Reboot your watch in normal android boot. Now push the OTA zip to it: "adb push yourota.zip /sdcard/update.zip"

6) Now is the trick: Replace the official OTA by yours: do "adb shell" and then "rm /cache/update.zip" and "cp /sdcard/update.zip /cache/update.zip".

7) Now check you still have the notification prompting for upgrade (your watch needs a bluetooth connection to phone, else it does not display it). Check the zip in /cache is still your by looking at the size, for instance: "ls -l /cache/update.zip" and compare with the size of your file.

8) If you're confident it is still your file, use the notifcation prompt on the watch and say you are ready to apply the upgrade.

9) Watch restarts and upgrade.... using your OTA file !

I tried using the custom "recovery command" that tutorials like http://www.carbontesla.com/2014/12/tutorial-update-smartwatch-3-lwx48p-android-5-0-1/ tell you to use but it would not work for me, only the notification would really trigger the upgrade...

Hope it helps!

PS: The reason for not using "adb sideload" directly from TWRP is that my OTA package (4.4 -> 5.0.1) would not be applied, it would complain that I am trying to apply it from a 5.0.2 system while it should be applied from a 4.4 system (oh, really?).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Great, I am glad it worked for you.

Two points for others travelling this path.

1)I am not sure you need to be rooted to do this, because twrp has its own permissions.

2) Did you try to use the install update.zip feature of twrp? That should have worked too.

Either way, I am glad you got there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alohagirl:
Hi all.

I have a rooted phone that is used strictly in wifi mode and only needs to be able to run 4 or 5 standard aps, a couple of optional aps, plus the aps that support rooted phones and enhanced power management. I don't want google-anything on it, and I am not kidding. My prime concern is battery life, I hope to be able to run my phone for 3 to 4 days (or more) between charges, so deleting all fluff aps and crapware is important, as is underclocking it and getting rid of google. I also want to stop updating of the operating system and installed software by google.

I hope to do a hardware mod to remove power from the cell band rf transceiver. Despite it being turned off in the phone using software, I am detecting occasional transmissions from the cell band transmitter. Hardware mods are not a problem for me, I'm a retired EE, who specialized in RF design.

I need to know if it's possible for the phone to function if gmail, google+, google search, chrome, google calendar and google-whatever are exhorsized (uninstalled)? Yes, I also want to give the playstore the boot, to prevent excessive battery drain (and, yes, I do realize downloading aps will be slightly more difficult without the playstore).

For those who might be interested, the phone is used as a wifi phone for the home based Ooma telephone service. I also might like to run a mini bittorrent server. It seems to me that the android community could use bittorrent in place of the playstore, thus making it easier for others to give google and google playstore the boot:)

I love this forum, and want to thank all those that support and administer it.

Aloha,

A
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There are threads all over the place trying to do this. Google is deeply ingrained into all the apks used by the os. You will be very hard pressed to find away to remove them completely and still have things work right.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alohagirl:
I agree that security is an illusion. I dumped Microshaft in 2013 in order to improve my security and privacy.

However, the android operating system is supposed to be open source, so it should be possible to de-google-ize it IF someone knows how to edit and recompile the android OS.

I was merely asking if anyone knew of a way to give google the boot, even if it came down to paying someone to compile a custom rom.

The loss of google playstore is not a consideration, neither is a monetary forfeiture (any programmers out there?).

I'm curious, is it possible to gag google so it can't connect to the outside world (with a firewall)? We used to do this in XP to prevent Bill's Internet Explorer from downloading updates.

Are any of the custom roms currently available able to run without google-anything??

Is there any hope, or is it truly hopeless? If a custom rom that gave google the boot was available, how many would pay a small fee to have it? Just curious??!!

TY

A.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There is one project that is working on removing Google completely in the forums. A search will find it for you. There are some issues that I don't recall if they could find a way around or fix. You could give that a shot.

REVIEW

The Pros:

1. First ever actual Lollipop Rom for our Canvas Nitro.

2. Speed is amazing.

3. Many tweaking options for Lock Screen, Status Bar, Notification Drawer, On Screen Buttons, etc. in Settings.

4. A fascinating app drawer.

5. Can be heavily themed.

The Cons:

1. The phone goes into bootloop after update the SU binary and rebooting (both by the normal way & via CWM/TWRP).

2. Low Speaker Volume.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] neitousama:
Hello all so I have recently swtiched to MetroPCS and the phone I currently have is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (M919N)

SGH-M919N

Version 4.4.4

It is completely stock.

After paying for the 60$ unlimited plan I guess now at the start of the month they include a free 6.7gb of data, or maybe it was only for the activation, because I haven't been with them in a while I'm not sure.

Regardless, I burned through that overnight, so I found this "Google Chrome Extension" that allows for unlimited hotspot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6ejhaP2aJI

However it does allow me to browse, but at extremely slow speeds (~76kbps) and sometimes it doesn't even fully load webpages or it gives me a 403 FORBIDDEN error. When I was on the MetroPCS actual hotspot I was pushing 10mpbs so I know the speed is far faster.

Basically I am trying to figure out what I need to do to get the full speed and bypass this thing, I can even tether but again it's still slow as heck.

Also, I have a lot of MetroPCS bloatware on there, Rhapsody playlist is one of the things on the top of one of the home screens that I can't even move, I wanted to know what was the best custom recovery/ROM to install. I know there's a one click or one touch automatic root or something...but I'd prefer to do it the way I did my M7 unless it's recommended to do it that way.

I had the M7 for T-Mobile with ARHD installed and TWRP which was nice it was fully functional it was my first time for both of those types of mods and everything went smoothly. (~a month ago)

I switched phones because my HTC's headphone jack stopped working and I had a guy who was willing to trade me phones, his Galaxy was fully functional and even though I explained to him my phone wasn't completely he told me he fixes phones all the time, thus the trade was made.

But for this particular phone....especially considering it's MetroPCS I am having a God-awful time finding any information online especially regarding my issue. Also for those that say, "Just pay for more data" I am a broke college student and I use this to do my school work...aside from going to the library, which sometimes is way too packed and there's usually no where to sit (I'm a UofA student) this is the only way for me to do anything.

If anyone has any information tutorials etc I would greatly appreciate it, I read some forums but none addressed my issue and none seemed to lead me in the right direction. I don't HAVE to install a custom ROM right off the bat...I can deal with the bloatware but what I NEED absolutely right now is the full speed of the hotspot.

Thanks everyone!​

[Sprint LG G4] bartbg323:
Hey guys I've had my G4 for about a month now and have taken it to Sprint twice with no help. I'm averaging 7 hrs battery with light usage and multi tasking is pretty much impossible without having the phone get really hot and get really slow. I came from an m8 running the same apps and it doesn't compare. Reps at Sprint pretty much did and said the same bs...keep closing apps, you need to update prl and profile, its normal for it to get hot, do hard reset. Any help please
[Sprint LG G4] iiEatTurdz:
okay this is like my g3. dont go to the store. call the customer service reps and go ape ass on the phone and make them do a warranty replacement. never fails.

[Sprint LG G4] iiEatTurdz:
not lg. call sprint. 1 888-211-4727. call and go ballistic. they WILL replace it. tell them you arent going to pay for them sending you a defective product and that you want to do a warranty replacement.

[MENTION=2808403]bartbg323[/MENTION]. I have had mine for a week and was having the same issues. I think I have figured it out, at least for me. There is a know bug in Lollipop with Location services and play services. What the problem is that with Location services set to use network services to determine Location (battery saving) it causes play services to constantly request Location. Two solutions: either disable Location services or set it to device sensors only. Since I did that the battery drain went away. I hope this helps.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I used Auto-Root-flounder-volantis-nexus9 to root my N9 today. It worked great until I went to reboot the device, at that point I see the google logo and then just a black screen.

I booted into recovery and factory rested, but I'm getting the same thing, turn it on , see the google logo, then just a black screen (the screen is ON, just all pixels are black). When I turn off the device it just reboots and goes to the google logo, then this black screen.

I can still get into fast boot, but resetting the device doesn't do anything... help :(

I also tried going into recovery mode and resetting it that way. No luck :(
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I fixed it myself (panic over breaking a $400 tablet vanished!)

1. downloaded 5.1.1 for Nexus 9 Wifi here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

2. downloaded fastboot and adb

3. put my device in fast boot mode (held power and volume up, chose fast boot on the white screen that appears)

4. ran these from my machine:

fastboot.exe flash bootloader bootloader-flounder-3.44.1.0123.img

fastboot.exe flash system system.img

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

fastboot.exe flash cache cache.img

fastboot.exe flash vendor vendor.img

(replace fastboot.exe with sudo ./fastbook for OSX)

And then I was back in business. I thought going to recovery and hard resetting was doing this all for me but I guess not.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camaao:
Hey -- congrats! I find myself in a similar situation. Just curious, when you went into fast boot mode, were you able to ./adb devices and see your N9?

Will the sudo ./fastboot work if adb can't find the device?

Answered my own question. Fast boot seems to work even though adb isn't showing the device. Hopefully I am saved.

ADB only works from the booted OS, or from recovery.

Please make a forum for the Verykool branded phones, and all of its various models. Apparently they are a recent manufacturer, and I have proof: I bought one and am using it!

Apparently, since I am a "new user", part of my proof, the URL links to the device, will have to be human-encoded:

www verykool net/Products/SL4500

Put dots in the first two spaces.

It says $160 but you can get it on Amazon for $100. Besides user accoutrements such as good processor, ample memory, ample cameras and such (including one surprise bonus feature, dual-SIM support (it's awesome!!)), it has one key feature I hunted for: T-Mobile Band 12 support. It supports the following bands:

TECHNOLOGY 4G LTE CAT 4, 150 Mbps DL, 50 Mbps UL

HSPA+ 42 Mbps DL, 11Mbps UL

BAND 4G LTE (Band 2 – 1900, Band 4 – AWS1700-2100, Band 17/12 – 700)

3G Tri Band (850/1900/AWS 1700-2100)

2G Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900) – GSM/GPRS/EDGE

The company makes a large number of phones, of note:

www verykool net/Products/sl5000

Put dots in the first two spaces.

That is the Verykool Quantum SL5000. If I had to do it all over again today, I'd compare a number of phones, including the two above and a few others that have cropped up in my awareness since then. (The SL5000 seems better than the SL4500, but I vaguely remember it's more AT&T centered?) Here are the SL5000 bands:

TECHNOLOGY 4G LTE Category 4, 150Mbps Downlink, 50Mbps Uplink

BAND 4G LTE (Band 2 – 1900, Band 4 – AWS1700-2100, Band 17/12 – 700); Category 4, 150Mbps Downlink, 50Mbps Uplink

3G Triple Band (850/1900/AWS 1700-2100); HSPA+ 42 Mbps Downlink, 11Mbps Uplink

2G Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900) – GSM/GPRS/EDGE

Anyway, now that I have the phone, I'm trying to set it up. The first thing I noticed is that an on-the-air update seemed to disable the encryption of the entire device, and that annoyed me, so I tried to root it. But, I can't quite do the root foo at this moment, and wanted to see what other XDA forum members had experience with this. However, I do not see it listed, not in the listing and not in search. Since it is not a kilobuck ($1,000.00) Android device with deep pockets, and is only a $100 item, I'm not expecting a high number of technical users, but there may be some cheap-minded XDA forum members who get it nonetheless, so let's go! Please help me find out where to post and search for information on phones from this manufacturer.

Sincerely,

Ulmo
