[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zegame:
The problem is partially solved. Since the download mode was the only working thing, I flashed all files of the original rom (except for sboot.bin). The recovery and the custom rom returned.

Custom roms are working now, but I still have problems to restore the original rom.

I can flash all items with heimdall except for --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin. Whenever I try flashing it, the operation fails. It is broken and I do not know how to fix it.

There is an obnoxious kitkat custom rom installed and I am unable to get rid of it. If I flash all items of the original rom (except for sboot.bin), the kitkat rom will be restored instead of the original rom. I am sure that the files that I am installing are the original Jelly Bean rom.

I can install and use other custom roms, but if I try to restore the original rom, the same kitkat custom rom is restored instead.

The easiest solution is to use a good custom rom that keeps some Samsung things, instead of restoring the original rom.

If we compare the original Samsung rom and the Kitkat Android rom, Kitkat has two bars (an upper bar and a lower bar), but in the Samsung version both bars are merged into the lower bar. The Samsung version is more efficient because it occupies less space and I have a larger area for apps.

I need a reliable rom that merges the two bars into one. It needs to be safe, because I will use banking app. Omegarom seems to be the best option for me, because it is close to the original rom.

[General Questions and Answers] GuestK0087:
You don't need ADB. In fact, I don't think that will work. If you wipe cache/ dalvik from custom recovery, you can just flash a different package. Otherwise, you will have to wipe data from recovery, reflash your ROM and gapps.
[General Questions and Answers] Musicbee:
I'm not planning to install different package, I'm about to remove Gapps completely from my phone. I thought can I can do it more easily with ADB.

Are you aware of any "Gapps removal package"?
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK0087:
No, I'm not aware such a package exists. I suggest just reflashing your stock firmware. That will solve your issue.

[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbabbar:
Hi ,

I have been reading a lot on xda developers about how to root,back up and flash a custom rom. I Successfully rooted my phone and got the supersu app too . I downloaded a few apps like greenify and fullscreen to test the waters of rooting . I also downloaded rom manager , TWRP & helium . Everything was going smooth when i was trying to make a back up from rom manager it wasnt letting me and phone would just reboot when i tried .

Then i was getting a little restless and tried to work on TWRP to install a recovery and an option that was on top of install a recovery . It gave me few options to which i said yes ( something related to back up in sd card ) . Then it asked me to press yes to reboot and since then my phone gets stuck at the samsung logo screen and if i press volume down + power + home then it gives me a screen where it says " downloading... do not turn off target !!" . On this screen the current binary is custom and so is the system status .

No other key combination that i know of is working .

PLEASE HELP .

Thanks in advance

Manik
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amad:
what recovery did you use?

if you can enter recovery menu by pressing upper vol+menu+power button,

try to find your rom file again,either in backup folder or anywhere you place it before.then flash it again.

if you had your rom file on computer, just flash it via odin. or if you can enter recovery mode, flash via adb also possible.

Since the ROM came from outside of XDA, I can't personally speak of it's stability.

I also can't find any ROMs built for your device on XDA. I suggest, that if is the only bug of your ROM, that you try to live with it. Otherwise, your only option here, is to flash back to stock.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] H117:
You can still use these lists to some extent, though some apps on the lists might be missing on KitKat, or vice versa.

In the end the documentation as to what the apps do is not really available, but most of them have names that suggest their purpose. You'll probably just have to experiment yourself. What apps you remove will also depend on what features you'd like to keep, so have that in mind, there's not going to be an universal list for everyone.

Here's my current list, if it helps:

[G4 General] Josh_Walker:
You guys really need to look into second hand devices. I bought my Verizon G4 (unlocked and can be used on AT&T) off Swappa for $360. It's like new and came with the original box, accessories, and a case.

If you don't have the cash up front, set up a credit card with your PayPal account and make the same monthly payments that you would be paying to the phone carrier. Only difference is now you're paying about half of the price you would be originally and you OWN the phone. Something new comes out..... Pick it up off Swappa (or CL, celltraderonline.com, eBay, Amazon, etc) and sell your old one on a similar outlet. There's even Facebook pages devoted to buying/selling phones.

I haven't been under contract with Verizon (mainly because of my grandfathered unlimited data) for years. I own/use every new device that comes out and most of the time I make a few bucks when I sell the old one. I can't understand why people pay full price for a phone, or finance it just to trade in on another one. We pay high cell phone rates in the U.S. because carriers subsidize phones. If we're paying the high rates AND paying full price for phones, that's a win-win for them.
[G4 General] Wing_Zero_Custom:
Yeah for the record I really regret doing their plan. I way overpaid for my device.

If I sell it and pay the phone off ill be out an extra couple hundred bucks. The best I can do now is pay it off early and own it. Either that or just keep paying the minimum payment and then hand it over after 12 months for a brand new flagship but then be back in the same exact spot as before.

The key here I learned is patience. Let the flagship come out, wait 2 months and then hit Swappa.

I think ill pay off the device early in a few months and then go crazy with flashing and the like.
[G4 General] Wing_Zero_Custom:
If anyone is interested on how hard I was bent over:

[G4 General] hyelton:
I agree with this MUCH cheaper. Even though I went through the next program to get my iPhone 6 several months ago, I just paid it off the next day onto my credit card (Got $200 cash back from it lol) SO I had $200 off ON TOP of I got AT&T to pay my phone bill for a month which was another $174. Because of paying it off early, credit card etc. After it was said and done I have about $250 in a brand new iPhone 6.

But anyway even I were to follow the next program it would rip me off by the time that 12 months came, I wouldnt get half of what I could sell it online for.
[G4 General] Wing_Zero_Custom:
Not sure where youre getting like 30% cash back from, thats insane, also I havent heard of AT&T paying peoples phone bills for early payoffs.

Yeah the used device average sold price on Swappa has already plummeted down to $450, the more I think about my plan of action, ill try and pay off the phone in the next few months so I at least own the damn thing.
[G4 General] hyelton:
How many of you will root your AT&amp;T while youre on a Next plan?

each time I make a large purchase I look for a credit card which gives you so much back for spending a certain amount.

AT&T has a credit card if you spend $2k in 3 months you get up to $650 credit on a phone. So pretty much a free phone.

Also the paying my bill was part of me being able to help me afford the phone. If I didn't buy the phone they wouldn't had credited me it as they couldn't give a discount on the iPhone it's self.
[G4 General] Josh_Walker:
So are you opening and closing credit cards every time you make a large purchase? My Amex only gives me 1-3% cash back on purchases and we use it for almost everything. It seems like they have me $150 the first 3 months for spending a couple grand.

At some point, credit card companies would no longer give you the promos and it would wreck your credit opening and closing cards.
[G4 General] CAG-man:
While I agree in the idea of buying second hand devices. I can't speak for other carriers but on AT&Ts Next plan the person outright owns the phone on a 0% finance plan. Yes there are trade in months and such but that's just it, trade in the phone and they recover the cost from a resale. They give you the full financing disclosure showing the 0% Apr and other such disclosures.

Edit: Back on topic. I have Next and I will be rooting tonight.

Also why would someone want to pay off something that is an at cost price of a brand new device financed with 0% with a credit card that will charge financing. Suddenly the device now costs more because of the fact the credit card is likely not 0% Apr.

The only advantage to credit card financing is the ability to trade up whenever you want like you state.
[G4 General] joshw0000:
A good ol' prison style raping!
[G4 General] hyelton:
How many of you will root your AT&amp;T while youre on a Next plan?

I don't close them. I keep open. I do need to close some old accounts though that are old
[G4 General] CAG-man:
How? The balance dropped by $16.75 indicating no extra charges meaning 0%apr
[G4 General] Josh_Walker:
Because buying 2nd hand is typically half the price of buying new. So get a 0% card for 12 months or even one that charges 30% interest. No matter how you look at it, you'll pay less than full retail when it's paid off.
[G4 General] Wing_Zero_Custom:
Well its true, I am not being charged any interest and I have more spending power right now because of that. I can just hand them $17 a month and use the rest of my paycheck on whatever I want.

But I also overpaid for my device by at least $200 to be able to have that luxury. So technically I paid that interest, just up front.
