This is the last thing you should be using to root your m2. It sends the iemi no of every phone it roots to a unknown ip address in China and will just slow your device down no end eventually. Doesn't give proper root access either so I believe(that's why it's kinguser and hard to remove)if your gonna root it at least do it properly..

I know it's probably got to connect to something to find the best suppose'd root method for the device it's rooting but what else is it upto. I know I would sooner not have root at all than use this to root my phone. I suppose until proved otherwise there is nothing they(xda) can do but warn people.

You can try to enter manually into the download mode. Press the power key for a longer time to switch the tablet completely off. Now switch it on again and directly afterwards press both volume keys together and hold them until the download mode is activated.

I'm on a rooted OC1 S4 with stang4litre Edition 5.0 (GREAT WORK Stang!) and would like to install two of the stock S4 apps.

I did quite a few searches here on XDA and general online and can't find them anywhere.

I'm looking for the stock calendar app and the stock Kindle app.

The Play Store Kindle app has insanely huge margins, and I can't find a 3rd party calendar app I like as much as the stock.

I could get by with one of the 3rd party calendar apps, but the Kindle one is driving me crazy. I figured if I could fix Kindle I might as well have the calendar I want while I was at it.

Does anyone have these two APKs they can post?

Do you know where I should put the files to get them to work?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsui:
This is really confusing. Most of the threads are written such that 'how to root while updating to OF2/OF3'...it doesn't tell me which versions allow rooting in the first place? Any help. Coming from the GS3
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean89us:
As far as I know, the S5 Active is only available as an AT&T phone, which means it will have a locked bootloader and any somewhat newer firmwares will be unrootable. Pre-lollipop builds (Anything below OF2) are rootable but still have a locked bootloader.

Just a word from the wise, don't get an S5 Active, and DEFINITELY don't get an AT&T phone. a GS5 (regular) with a thin case (Spigen slim armor or neo-hybrid/ otterbox commuter) will be WAY more durable anyway, plus it's still waterproof/dustproof.

Get yourself a G900T (T-Mobile variant), or a G900AZ (Cricket wireless variant --Cricket is a subsidiary of at&t--), or even a G900F. Those all have unlocked bootloaders and will allow you to root, install custom recovery, custom roms, whatever you want forever. I personally have a G900T using it on AT&T with no issues, as the G900T supports all the same frequencies (and an extra one!) as the G900A (AT&T model). The G900F doesn't support every single band AT&T uses, so I would pick one of the other two if you want 100% compatibility.

MAKE SURE if you buy a G900T or G900AZ that it is

UNLOCKED

or you won't be able to use it. And after you get it, you'll have to call AT&T support and give them the new phone's IMEI number in order for LTE to work.

Hope what I said makes sense..

FYI The best place to buy a phone is always (XDA's own..) Swappa!

https://swappa.com/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean89us:
The T-Mobile version shares all the same frequencies plus includes an additional frequency which AT&T does not use, so therefore the T-Mobile (G900T) retains 100% compatibility with AT&T. Yes, if you want to use a G900T on any carrier besides T-Mobile it will have to be unlocked. Luckily it's not hard to find an unlocked G900T.

Let me make this clear: If it's AT&T and it's a Samsung phone and it's on lollipop, don't expect to be able to root it. Go with a T-Mobile or factory unlocked phone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no.human.being:
Hey guys,

just curious what would happen if you were to flash an i9300 ROM (e. g. CM for i9300) to an i9305 device.

I'd suspect, you'd at most lose 4G capability (due to no drivers in the i9300 ROM), but when you google around, you find warnings like this.

I mean, seriously? "Brick the device" by installing the wrong ROM? Even if you were to install a ROM for an entirely different device, wouldn't it, at worst, just "not boot" and you could get back into Recovery and flash a ROM that works?

However, with the i9300 and the i9305, they have the same SoC, an Exynos 4412, so memory layout, drivers, etc. should all be identical, so I'd expect this to even work.

Has anyone ever done this? What would happen? Would it just not boot (bootloop or whatever)? However, the "warninigs" are definitely wrong, it wouldn't "brick the device", right? I mean the devs must be flashing "ROMs that don't work" all the time when developing/testing/debugging and nothing "bad" happens.

I don't wanna try this out actually, but I cannot imagine what would go so seriously wrong, so may some dev or whoever confirm that it won't brick?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itzjosh:
Try it. If it bricks your phone you can always restore through Odin or kies ?

But the doesn't the i9300 have 1gb ram while the i9305 has 2gb
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no.human.being:
I found out that the partition layout is different, which is probably a "good reason" why it won't work (wrong "/etc/fstab").

Concerning: "If if bricks, you can always restore through Odin" --> Odin talks to the bootloader, right? On the Exynos, as far as I know, "system" partitions (bootloader, etc.) are not "write protected". I would say the risk is low, really low, but I don't think the phone is "unbrickable" or every "brick" can be restored via Odin. If some code "decides" to write over the boot code, I suspect you're in for a JTAG repair, since Odin has "nothing it can talk to". That seems unlikely, kinda like "the phone might get struck by lightning while you're flashing it", but I wouldn't say it's "impossible". ;)

And to be honest, that's exactly what "never getting to use it again" sounds like to me. "Soft brick" (need to flash it again through "Odin" - or rather Heimdall - why would you use Odin if you can use Heimdall?) is nothing that requires any "warning", right? After all, that's what we do to flash that (potentially "wrong") ROM in the first place. ;)

If it really was "my phone", I may have tried it, but it wasn't "my phone", it was the phone of a colleague, so I went safe with an i9305 ROM. Fortunately, by that time, an i9305 version of the ROM I wanted to give him was already published. It was i9300 only when I created this thread, which was why I asked in the first place.

Nonetheless, thanks for your answer.

TWRP is impossible for the TWN version at the moment. The only ones that can currently install TWRP are those with H815 that come from open European stock, which can have their boot loader unlocked via the official LG boot loader unlocking tool. Does not work with any other region's phones, even if you change software etc...it's based on IMEI and hardware ID which is uniquely coded to your device.

[G4 General] delacrum:
ok so I got tired of waiting for my Polish 10D to be updated to 10E so I flashed this 10C TWN anyway since my phone is originally TWN

and I must say there is a significant improvement on the swiping as well as the Knock Unlock Code compared to the Polish 10D.

Also Stagefright fix is confirmed so the 10C TWN is definitely an improvement
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
If your phone is a TWN device, you should always stick to TWN updates. THis is the latest update for our device. As you said, it fixes Stagefright and fixes touch etc. This is equivalent to 10F on other Euro devices.
