[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robdabomb:
Hello! Sorry for my panic and sense of urgency, but I'm currently away for school and my lease is ending at the end of the month and I have no way to contact my parents, real estate agents, movers, or anything now. All I have is my phone and computer, and I haven't renewed my internet for the month so it should be shut off any day now as well.

But I was running Lollipop (OC1) and rooted my phone the other day with the terrible KingRoot. I attempted to use this app that was supposed to remove KingRoot and replace it with SuperUser but it only removed KingRoot - nothing else. So I lost root access, but still had all the KingRoot crap on my phone. Today a Verizon update appeared on my phone and I clicked install - I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't a major OS upgrade, just a small patch. Plus I thought it'd help remove KingRoot. Uh oh. I was wrong.

I installed the update, it went into recovery and then attempted to install. next thing I know all I see is a black screen. I tried pulling the battery and rebooting it, but I can't get passed the Samsung logo - it just goes to a black screen (but I believe it's still on, draining battery). If I try to boot into recovery it INSTANTLY starts auto-installing this update, which it of course always fails to do and gives me an error message.

My brother said I need to use 'ADB' but he's busy and can't email me much more information. I'm entirely lost, panicked, and scared! I need my phone working soon. I'm assuming theres no way to 'fix' my phone - so I'm just going to have to suck it up and realize I lost everything (man I wish I saved a lot of people I was texting as contacts *face palm*). What can I do now?

P.S. If I need to install a new ROM or whatnot over this, then can I do so with a pre-rooted Lollipop ROM? That way I don't have to risk using KingRoot ever- ever again. NOTE I NEED ROOT FOR WiFi TETHER! My internet is being shut off very soon, so to get by in the meantime I planned on using my phone and its tether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No... You need internet access..

BUT... If you backed up everything to the external SD, then you can regain contacts..

Otherwise, Any attempt to fix it won't do anything...

ADB won't work on this phone either...

What you need to do is download a program called Odin, and a OC1 stock tar... That will recover your phone, but you will lose all contacts unless you had the Verizon contact thing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregwhit:
I had the exact same experience as you yesterday... I had to put my phone in Download mode and start fresh with the Verizon Software Update Assistant. All I really cared about was my pictures, and they were on the external SD card. The other response about using ODIN to go back to OC1 works just as well... Best of luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quigly:
Odin is your friend

Don't panic. You're contacts and other media of a similar nature are usually backed up regularly enough if you don't mess with the default sync settings of your stock rom. We can all agree Kingroot is a terrible way to root because of it's unnecessarily bloated bundle that it installs along with its super user app. To get your phone working you need to 'Odin' back to stock and from there you can root and install a custom rom. However your choices are very finite because of the new SELinux enforcing files on the OC1 build for the Verizon bootloader.

Step 1) Download Odin here ---> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

Step 2) Download the stock OC1 Build ROM for the SCH-I545 (Verizon Galaxy S4) here ---> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/odin-5-0-1-lollipop-oc1-t3174850

Step 3) Once the download has finished (use DownloadThemAll add-on in FireFox to boost download speed) load the tar.md5 file into Odin

using the AP button.

Step 4) Put your phone into download mode and plug it into your computer. Make sure the cables aren't loose and click start in Odin.

Step 5) Wait for the phone to reboot and for the com-slot in Odin to turn green (will say "PASS!!" when complete).

If you use KingRoot to root the phone then I suggest googling how to replace KingRoot with SuperSu and following the tutorial W0lfdroids website here ---> http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

Yesterday the icon appeared double, but I could not understand why. After the closure of the notifications it has remained a ? would avoid resorting to the recovery of the backup to remove that icon, because I'm afraid of SM-T705 restore of TWRP not working.

Hi,

Sorry if this is a silly question but i just wanted to check,

I know the edge features dont work so does the screen go all the way to the edge as just one screen or is there just a black bar where the edge is?

[Note Edge Original Android Development] KyoNisus:
Thank you! Finally a clean version of the best ROM there is. :) Really appreciate it.

I've got a question: I know the Edge feature is not available for non-TW ROMs, and have been using RessurectionRemix (based on CM12.1) for some time now. However, I always found it annoying to have the Edge screen just enlarge the normal screen - not only makes it the whole Edge feature rather pointless, it also feels really awkward sometimes since that part of the screen is really sensitive to nonintended commands.

What good apps are out there that would replace Edge functionality? What I'm specifically looking for is something that makes it possible to permanently move the main screen content (i.e. the keyboard) away from the Edge screen, and then use that "empty" part of the screen for a sidebar or something like that. I've been looking at a couple of apps and solutions now, but so far haven't been able to find something that allows to permanently occupy the right side of the screen and not just overlap.

[Note Edge Original Android Development] _Dat_Piano_Walrus_Doe_:
Umm... 😕

...You can just reflash the stock ROM through Odin...

Just search your model number on sammobile.com, download the stock firmware.tar file, put your phone in download mode, connect it to your laptop (assuming you already have all the drivers installed and everything) put the file in the AP section of Odin, and just flash it. Itll wipe everything and flash it fresh, without touching any of your internal storage. I don't think it touches your user data either.

I know that was a really basic tutorial, and its a really obvious suggestion, but hopefully it helped, idk ? If not, I'd really like to know what flashing a custom kernel could've possibly done to brick your phone to the point of no return like that. And I'd also like to know how money is gonna fix it? ?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Hi Guys

Im new here so I hope I wont mess things up too bad, by posting something in the wrong place or something like that :o

I have a question about my Htc One M7 and I have been googling all day and either there is no easy solution or I am not able to find it...

So hopefully you can help me :)

My Htc One is at the moment completely stock. All I did was unlocking the bootloader as described by the htc-dev website.

I want to make a backup of my Stock Recovery, before I flash a custom one.

I tried to use this Guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 to achieve that.

In step 7/8 it states ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)") that I should be able to boot a recovery without flashing it. But it also says that it might not work with higher hboots.

It seems that it wont work with my Hboot 1.56 :(

Now my actual question: Is there any way to make a backup of the 100% Stock Recovery?

And please dont give me a link where i can download one, i would like to create a backup myself :D

If you find anything that is wrong with this post (spelling, location or somthing), please let me know.

Thank you for your help :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can only use the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command on hboot 1.44. So if you absolutely want to backup the stock recovery using this method you'll need s-off in order to downgrade your hboot so you can boot a custom recovery without flashing it to dump the stock one, not very convenient... Stock recovery can be extracted from the ota update zip file of the same version your phone is running, this is the method used by everyone if their stock recovery.img is not already available to download here on xda.

Yes but not convenient at all like said above, I already did it once, just because the ota update zip file was encrypted and so it was impossible to extract the recovery directly from the ota so I had to pull it directly from the phone: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54167697&postcount=1095

Can't give you any link to download your recovery anyway since we don't know what firmware version your phone is running.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Thank you for your quick answer :)

It doesn't have to be this way, I just want to create my own backup of Stock Rom and Stock Recovery. If their is a way to extract it from an ota update, I would gladly use this method. Do you know a good guide, that explains how to do that? And could I do that with the current version of Android running on the Phone? Update sounds like I would have to update it first?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
To extract the stock recovery from an update update, simply open the zip file, inside you'll find another zip file named "firmware.zip" open that one and extract the recovery.img file.

what is your firmware version? "fastboot getvar version-main"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Im running 4.19.401.11

How do I get the ota.zip file? Is there a way to extract that from my Phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can get the ota zip file when downloading an update and selecting "install later". Once the download is completed, connect your phone to your computer and copy the ota zip file from your download folder to your computer. Once the update is installed, the ota zip file is deleted form the phone so you can't extract the update from the phone since its already installed.

You can find the ota update file for your version (from 4.19.401.9 to 4.19.401.11) here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045071

Or directly download the 4.19.401.11 stock recovery here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717070740 which is the same exact recovery installed on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
I think i did it. Thank you very much!

there is the firmware folder with 9 .img files in it :) seems to be right, altough I can't open the zip folder directly (it says error- Folder invalid), but it worked when I extracted the Folder...

The 9 .img files are about 100 MB, is that right?

And could I apply the same update to my second HTC One M7( running a rooted Stock with Android 5.0.2), to get it back to Stock Rom and Recovery?

What do I have to check to make sure they are compatible?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The stock recovery should be around 12MB not 100MB,

No, this recovery is only for 4.19.401.11 and that update file is for patching 4.19.401.09 to 4.19.401.11 only.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Sorry i didn't say that well... All of the .img files in this folder together are about 100 MB.

The Recovery itself is only 12 MB, so it seems fine :)

Okay, but if I would install the update and make a Nandroid backup of the updated Rom, would I be able to install that Nandroid backup also on the second Phone?

And would I be able to use the recoverybackup I received out of the OTA.zip to restore the first Phone to StockRecovery if I flashed a custom Recovery after I updated?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes that seems fine.

I'm not sure if I should answer this one before knowing the details (fastboot getvar all) of the second phone and knowing what is your goal exactly. That might only brings more confusion and there might be easier solution to restore your phone than creating a backup from device A and restoring it to B...

But yes its possible, you want to make sure your recovery version, software version and firmware version match together. E.G You don't want to restore a 4.19.401.11 software backup on a phone running a different firmware version and the recovery version must also match. So if phone B is 7.19.401.22 firmware you want to restore a 7.19.401.22 software and a 7.19.401.22 stock recovery. If you have updated phone A from 4.19.401.11 to 7.19.401.22 and then make a backup of it, you should be fine restoring that backup on phone B. Any mismatch between version will prevent installation of ota updates and in some case you can have drivers issues.

What I wanna do is to use the first phone to create my own Backup of ROM and Recovery to get the second phone to the newest Version of stock.

Is this possible with these pair of Phones?

And could you recommend me a good website were I could learn what all these variables mean? an were I could learn more about this topic?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Well the second phone can simply be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30 which is the latest version.

The first phone can also be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.2 firmware first and then doing the same thing, flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30. Simple and easy unlike what you are trying to do ;)

Here is the essential:

(bootloader) version-bootloader: This is your bootloader version, sometime called hboot

(bootloader) version-baseband: This is your radio version, radio is the software that controls the reception/transmission. Different carriers/region will requires different radio version because of different infrastructures.

(bootloader) version-main: This is your firmware version, the firmware is the code that make possible the interaction between the software and the hardware.

(bootloader) serialno: Serial number of your phone, don't share this number on the forum

(bootloader) imei: IMEI number is a unique number identifier for GSM networks, for example if your phone is declared lost/stolen or linked to unpaid bills, this number will be added to an international blacklist and you won't be able to use your phone on any carrier worldwide. Don't share this number on the forum.

(bootloader) meid: MEID is the same as IMEI but for CDMA phones, on GSM phone you don't have an MEID (only showing 0)

(bootloader) product: This is your product code, M7_UL means its a M7, U = GSM, L= LTE so its a M7 GSM/LTE

(bootloader) modelid: Model ID (MID) is a little like the product code but more specific to your region. For example, PN0710000 = M7_UL Europe. PN0712000 is also a M7_UL but for North America (all Canadian carriers, USA's AT&T, Google Play Edition and US developer edition)

(bootloader) cidnum: CID is the carrier / region ID

(bootloader) security: Security ON/OFF. Read about s-on/s-off here
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
How would I know if these are compatible?

I would rather not use some download from the Internet because I afraid that somebody messed it up and I won't get the 100% Stock, maybe even an infected one. (Is this even a rational fear? :D )

That's why I am trying to create all the necessary resources myself, so I can be sure that they are alright. Also I learn much more if I do it step by step instead of just flashing a Rom from the web.

For example how do I check if a Rom is compatible with my device?

Is the other stuff save to share?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Not really since the RUU are offical (from HTC) and also they are encrypted with HTC private key .The 7.19.401.22 ruu was uploaded by me as you can see here. :good: So there is nothing to fear. Then the 7.19.401.30 ota update will come directly from HTC's servers so again, nothing to fear.

No offense, but these ruu are probably more reliable than what you are trying to do + easier to achieve your goal.

+1 for learning

First you have a M7_UL (GSM variant) so make sure you are only flashing M7 GSM stuff (rom, recovery, kernel etc). Also read the rom thread to see if you have all the pre-requisite before flashing a rom, for example, lollipop roms requires at least a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware to work correctly so it would work fine on phone B but not on phone A. Another example: CyanogenMod roms requires at least TWRP recovery 2.7.1.1, using anything below that will not work. Thats why you should always read the first post of the thread from the rom you want to flash before proceeding. If you are unsure after reading, better to ask questions instead of (soft) bricking,
