I see some websites that post download links to download official firmwares that are made by manufacturers and carriers. How do the people who upload these firmwares get them?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] furzewolf:
Google has already told everyone to stop using hardware menu buttons and to instead use the built-in software ones in the apps.

Unfortunately there's quite a few devices, the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 included, that still have a menu button.

My goal is to successfully remap that button to a Recents button, and enable the built-in software ones. I'm using Hyperdrive RLS5.1 on my device, but this technique should work with any other ROM too - if it doesn't, there is either a conflict or you might need to change other keylayout files as well.

I fairly easily remapped the key.

You just use a root file explorer like FX to go to "/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl" and find the line that looks like "key 139 MENU" and change it to "key 139 APP_SWITCH". Then reboot the device. When you press the button, it will open the task switcher - but there's a nasty caveat. When you do this, the device still has the menu key in it. So if you go into an app like Firefox or Viper4AndroidFX and try and change settings, you can't. The menu button is inaccessible.

But, no fear: the solution is the Xposed Framework, combined with MenuBeGone, which can be found at http://repo.xposed.info/module/ro.epb.menubegone. I've checked the source code and it's completely benign - the key here is that you have to force every app to return "false" when it checks if the device "hasPermanentMenuKey".

It doesn't matter how much remapping you do, the device still technically has a physical menu key. Lil' blighter.
[XDA Assist] L4vPivo:
Hello people of XDA, I don't know if this is the right place for the post, I'm sorry if it isn't. I have a problem with Kingo Root, I used it to root my BL locked M2 Aqua (D2403), root checker confirms root, but whenever I try to use anything with root, even if I grant access it says I don't have root (Xposed, BusyBox, Root browser, ROM Toolkit). Now I'm guessing it just pasted the files and my guess is that root checker works only by seeing if the SuperUser program grants it permission. As I've seen a lot of people have had problems with rooting the device, so I just want to give up and restore unroot. The problem is, I can't remove the SuperUser app from Kingo Root, I've tried substituting it with SuperSU via the Terminal, but as it is not rooted properly, it cannot be done, aswell as trying to unroot with Kingo Root, but failed, so I want to ask you if there is a way for me to remove this, and maybe possibly root the device with the bootloader locked? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. There definitely isn't a dedicated section for your device on XDA, however a quick search uncovered the following thread:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobra112:
Bought a refurb SCH-I545 Verizon to run on Tmobile network. Created a new APN and have things working but signal is rather poor. Seems to hunt around a LOT from no signal to full signal and data 2G to 4GLTE. Not consistent at all. Many calls being missed and sometimes trying to call out, I have no signal. Tmobile is out of ideas. I think I have most settings right but something is either wrong with the phone or a setting is off.

Can anyone confirm?

I am considering rooting the phone to delete all the bloatware? I am not sure if the boot loader will be opened? I would not mind losing the Verizon boot screen and the "sim is not verizon" BS....

At first, tmobile thought the phone did not support 1,9ghz but all documents I can find say it is fully supported. Do I need some radio apps?

Hello, I had sent you a message to try and help as much as I could but you opened a thread so I'll help you on here.

First. Double check all twrp folders using a file Explorer. Some roms when flashed through twrp automatically back up your efs partition.

Second. If the folders are blank then we'll proceed to try other methods of fixing your imei.

I assume since you went from having a blank imei to that weird number you tried one of the methods you found through Google.

There are ways to manually reenter your imei if the methods found on Google fail. Follow the instruction in the site below (I highly suggest using the terminal emulator method) and report back here. Your imei can be found on your Sim card or the bigger card your Sim came in.

I am working on a friend's Verizon Galaxy S5 running on a rooted Lollipop stock rom. The in-call photo is completely mess up. Let's say I have 5 contacts and 3 out of 5 have it's own contact photo (contact #1-3). When I look those 3 up on my contact, it shows their photo fine. However, when I make and receive a call from contact #3, it shows another contact photo. Below are what I tried but with no success.

1. Back up contacts to microsd card. Remove all contacts and uncheck sync with Google contacts. Imported contacts from backup to phone's contact. Still locked on that single contact photo.

2. Deleted that particular contact completely. Back up contacts to microsd card. Remove all contacts and uncheck sync with Google contacts. Imported contacts from backup to phone's contact. Still locked on that single contact photo.

3. Deleted that particular contact completely. Clear both contact data and cache via app setting. Imported contacts from backup to phone's contact. Still locked on that single contact photo.

Guys, any ideas on resolving this? I want to avoid a full factory reset on this if possible. Thanks in advance.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] agento:
I have a CID unlocked XDA Orbit, and was looking at the T-Mobile Web'n'Walk contract packages.

I have spoken to T-Mobile, who assure me the Web'n'Walk contract will ONLY work with certain (ie their own) T-Mobile Web'n'Walk compatable handsets.

They have stated this is because to the the Web'n'Walk connection can only be made using the Web'n'Walk application (included with compatable handsets) and is the only way to connect, and that manual settings for this particular package are not available.

But as my phone is unlocked, would flashing with a T-Mobile ROM (from the MDA compact for example) fix this problem? Come to think of it, would installing the Web'n'Walk application (from a T-Mobile extended rom) work?

Has anyone tried this? How was it done? Or is T-Mobile simply talking out of their hat!

Also, what do you guys (and gals) think of the Web'n'Walk service, is it any cop?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Gajet:
T-Mobile know nothing.

There is no T-Mobile application. There wasn't one on my MDA Compact III when I bought it from them, and there certainly isn't now I'm using Tupisdin's WM6 3.5 ROM. The device uses the standard Pocket Internet Explorer, or will happily run Opera Mobile.

You don't need to flash a ROM, the O2 one will work fine with the right settings, but a WM6 ROM is better, if you are happy to flash it anyway.

Web and Walk is great, all you can eat data and no hunting for WiFi hotspots, I just wish the Artemis was 3g. Roll on the Polaris.

Oh and the Manual settings that "Aren't available" are on their website, you just enter a valid T-Mobile phone number and look for setting up MMS manually, it will take you to a page that lists the GPRS and MMS settings.

(Edit: Back off T-Mobile or I shall taunt you some more)

Thanks for an excellent, quick and concise response!

I'm using a Orbit on the Flex 20 with Web N Walk. If your looking to save then T-Mobile to a Sim Only deal for £7.50 a month and unlimited data for another £7.

Personally I'm about to switch to O2 then back to T-Mobile after a couple of months to take advantage of the deal.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migpilot8:
My KF HD6 OS 4.11 is stuck in a bootloop.

It was successfully rooted with KingRoot v4.5.0.722 . OTA update were verified disabled.

Problem started once I grabbed "update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120" and sideloaded it to the device. The idea was to flash this update as an interim to "twrp_ready_update-kindle-20.4.5.4_user_454006120" and lastly the gapps utils.

Now, as a reward, on boot up I get the 'Amazon ' splash for 19sec, followed by a blank screen for 12sec. (no bootloader logo at all). The only glimmer is that during the 12 sec Win7/device mgr 'other devices' expands to show "MT65xx Preloader" --- details are: ( USB\VID_0E8D&PID_3000REV_0100).

Neither adb or fastboot commands recognize the Kindle as being attached during the boot phase. Tried to connect via USB to a Win8 laptop without a positive result.

I understand the factory cable doesn't work on the HD 6 and the other posts read here haven't pointed in a promising direction.

At my wits end here... thanks

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migpilot8:
Sorry dhrubonill not much advice I can offer.

The key is to be able to successfully factory reset if the device doesn't function as expected after a flash. Some devices will reset using a 'factory cable' the newer 4th generation devices will not.

In my case (Fire HD6) I was required to return and replace the device.

For the future it is important to state in your post:

1) the type of device you are working with.

2) the actions you took.

3) the current state of your device.

Even after providing the info above and pouring over other posts a solve may not be found. Insult atop injury, there may not be any replies to your questions... that is also a risk in the modding process.

Once my replacement arrived the folks over in 'Fire HD 6 and 7' were both knowledgeable and helpful. I didn't make the same mistakes twice and love my device (again).

Lastly I'd say, learn what you can and enjoy the process that comes with taking control of your device(s). Good Luck finding a solve.

To answer your question - you only TRULY have to wipe your device when changing from KK to LP or vice-versa; however, everything just works better when you wipe. During the rooting process, I believe you'll have to downgrade to an old KK firmware, then once you've obtained root, you'll have to install a pre-rooted 5.1.1 LP firmware. At that point, you can choose to either wipe or not.
