Got rooted bu when I went to install a custom recovery , it HAD stock recovery until I tried installing CWM and TWRP. Neither of those worked, AND, I can't get stock recovery back, just the DOWNLOADING screen with the following:

Could not do normal boot (red text)

ODIN Mode (red text)

Product name :SCH-1545

Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

CSB CONFIG LSB: 0x30

write protection : enable (grey text)

eMMC Burst mode: enabled (grey text)

Suggestions how to correct this, and what recovery SHOULD I be using on this device (I am on build NK4)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
You can't install cwm or twrp on nk4. Locked bootloader.

You'll have to Odin back to nc5 (download nc5 stock Odin tar and pit file from surges thread..) and Odin 3.09 or 3.10 and then flash back to nc5 and root with towel root.

Then you need to install safestrap. (Busy box first depending on the version of safestrap)

You may be able to install flash fire but I don't know if it works on kitkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wedmiston:
Thanks. Got Odin to get back in and do a soft wipe only issue is now i get the android.process.acore has stopped message that pops up immediately after I say OK - can't get past it.

I have an unlocked VS985 using T-Mobile and I recently flashed to the newest Skydragon rom. I can't seem to send SMS but I can receive them. I'm thinking the SMS settings may be incorrect but I cannot find the place to set it. The service center option is missing from the Messages -> Settings -> Text messages menu and *#*#4636#*#* doesn't do anything. Is there any other way to check/change it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gran_T:
Hi everybody.

Didn't find a thread about such a problem.

The thing is, in the last last few days phone connects but doesn't get internet through my office's hotspot.

Last week there was no problem. Nothing has been changed. IP, gateway and DNS addresses phone getting from router are right. No problem for laptops or other phones to connect and get internet either.

On the other hand, there is no problem with internet when connecting to other hotspots.

Device: N900T, stock 4.4.2 ENK3, root.

What has been done: reset/restart, clean/delete cache, delete data/misc/wifi directory

Any suggestion how to fix the problem? :confused:

Before it begins, make sure you backup your data using LG Backup Tool.

Make sure you have LG USB driver installed (LG United Driver or LG PC Suite)

The entire process takes up to an hour, so your battery should be fully charged.

A USB cable for the process.

Here it goes:

1. Connect the computer.

2. Run LG Flash Tool 2014. Since data is backed up, you can use CSE flash. Locate your kdz file, and leave all other options untouched.

3. After your phone has been wiped, you have to run initial setting and do it.

4. Go to About Phone - Software Version - hit Build Number few times to enable Developer Options.

5. Go to Developer Options - Enable OEM Unlock (it should be checked already) and enable USB Debugging.

6. Plug your phone with your computer.

7. Unzip and open H811-one-click folder. Run the batch file. Press any button when you're ready.

8. Copy superSU to memory card.

9. Observe your phone screen for Allow USB Debugging request and allow your computer. The process will start. The phone may reboot a couple of times. Unplug your phone and remove the battery when prompted.

10. After the battery placed back in, press and hold the volume down button and power the phone on. When LG appears, release the power button and press again.

11. You will be asked to factory reset your phone twice, answer yes to enter TWRP.

12. install SuperSU.

13. Reboot and you have a rooted 10n.

14. Sign in your Google account and run LG Backup to restore the data. If the backup file isn't there, open your file manager and locate /MicroSD/LGbackup and copy the backup file onto /LGbackup in internal memory and run LG Backup again.

15. Press restart when it has finished.

I jumped on the $250 eBay deal for this phone. Today, after installing my tmobile SIM card I can talk and text fine but the mobile data is not functioning. I've gone into the "Data Manager" menu and turned on the "mobile data"...airplane function is off....performed a factory reboot, and still nothing. What am I missing? Do I need to do an APN configuration? Being an unlocked phone, I thought it was a matter of plug and play. Data works fine in my moto g. Please help. Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike613ottawa:
I am running stock 5.1.1 on my Nexus 5, and have recently noticed reduced battery life. When running Quick System Info PRO, I see that "system_server - BluetoothPhoneService" is constantly consuming anywhere from 15-60% cpu, usually 20-30%. I have tried restoring all the Google factory ROM's one by one, starting with 5.0 (LRX21O) up to 5.1.1 (LMY48I), yet the issue persists. Toggling Bluetooth doesn't help any, and Bluetooth functions normally when needed, but is usually kept off.

Has anybody else encountered this issue?

Any advice would be most appreciated. I would be pleased to install any other software which may help provide more info.

I posted this in the Nexus 5 forum with no replies, but then realized it is probably better suited here.

Thanks,

Mike.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gary3:
So guys, I've rooted and put custom recoverys on every Android phone I've ever had. And before my girl got the M8 I read it could be rooted. However, no words can express my disappointment when I discovered that the only way to fully root the phone, is a whopping $25 (1/4 the price of the phone?!?!) service. Not only that expensive but also usable on the one exact phone. Can't use it on any others.

Was my research accurate that the only way to fully root this phone is to shell out $25? I remember the paid methods only being for those who didn't want to do it the manual way back when I rooted my past Androids.

I'm aware of Weak sauce, but that only roots it after boot. And it doesn't S-Off. Which Xposed needs.

It's not like I'm against supporting developers. I've supported various devs in the past. It's just $25 is insane to me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wdarea51:
I agree it is sort of high, but it is not 1/4 the price of the phone, more like 1/20. Also I literally, just ten minutes ago, did sunshine because my old phone that I used firewater to S-off with, which is no longer active, died. So my replacement phone, thankfully did NOT come with lollipop preinstalled, and I used sunshine, and honestly it really is one click, no computer needed, restarts once and BOOM done, it takes 5 minutes and you have a fully unlocked, soff, and rooted device.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gary3:
Yeah. My math was wrong. It's actually 1/8 cause she got it for $200 used.

And rooting, unlocking, etc, flashing has never been a chore to me. I actually enjoy it. Lol. If it was like, $5 or something, and the only option, I would without too much whining.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
Where do I start?

It's not reasonable to expect something like this to be free when its development is known to brick multiple devices. Not to mention, it's totally appropriate to pursue compensation for their time and skills. Root bounties exist and are open for anyone to claim. There's a reason jcase and beaups and team are often the only ones in the game; breaking into these phones is extremely difficult and risky.

If $25 is too much then people won't pay it and the price might come down. Your tone implies an obtuse amount of entitlement. I want this, I want it to be cheap, if it has to be expensive then I want a cheaper option to be available.

Lastly, there is another option for s-off, find someone with a java card. Most I know of don't necessarily charge you but if you obtain their assistance, please don't be the cheap wad your post makes you come off as and thrown then some cash. $25 is not that unreasonable of compensation whether given to a beautiful app developer or a generous person who shares their investment in an expensive java card with the community.

As the title said, the phone doesn't give me the choice of always or just once, there's only a menu and I can click the app that automatically becomes the "default" app...

You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

Samsung it's so wrong!

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?

NO SD CARD SWAP

NO WATER PROOF

NO BATTERY SWAP

COPYCAT DESIGN

EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM

AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!

this company it's going backwards or what?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalogic:
this happened on my note 4 as well with 5.1.1.

the change was completely unnecessary, as people could just click "always" if they wanted. why remove the option?

has anyone found a fix?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuwait:
This option disappeared on my Note 4 after upgrade to 6.01. Actually there should be a line Default App Selection in Settings menu in page Default applications which is missing. That setting, if activated, will allow to have Just now/Allwais question when opening file. But looks some smart yellow man decided to remove this line in menu or just deleted it by mistake.

I correspond already one month with Samsung support in UK , Kuwait and UAE and they still cannot understand what I am speaking for. Samsung has the most idiotic support on the globe. I am Bulgarian, but I purchased my Note 4 in Kuwait when I use to live there in 2015. I live now in Germany. However the latest suggestion from UAE Samsung support was to send my Note 4 to service center in Lebanon due to the phone was produced for Lebanon as per the IMEI number. It is not sufficient to call them only idiots, they are INCRIDABLE IDIOTS. How the poor man in Lebanon service center will add the line when it is missing in the software build? Furthermore I never been in Lebanon in my life and have no frends there.

I installed the Better Open With application and it restored the functionality. But still trying to convince Samsung to return this setting in the menu.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBellman:
Long Story Short: On a CM12(Nightly) Moto G(Falcon) that had to be thoroughly reformatted after an unexplained disaster, I'm trying to use a TWRP backup made earlier and ensconced on my computer to restore my phone. After using the backup function once to establish the filepath, I transfer the backup to the backups folder in TWRP and use the restore function. At first, it said that it was a f2fs backup or something, but after reformatting to match it just hangs when trying to restore the data folder(without a specific error), and throws a "Failed" message. Backup doesn't work, phone gets one step closer to being launched out the window. I've thoroughly reformatted everything, reflashed recovery, and double checked all the catches I know of(the backup is under 2.5 gb for instance).

I'm stumped. Should I give up at this point? Is the backup just gone(especially given that it's connected to how this all got started)? Is there nothing I can do with having captured all the folders onto my PC?

(Full story)

While fiddling around with Moto G 2013(falcon/xt1032) running CM12 Nightly this morning I decided I should take a backup with TWRP (which I had also specifically installed this morning because of rumors of it working with encryption). The moment after I rebooted from the (supposedly successful)backup, my phone got stuck in a nasty bootloop, would even reboot from attempting to start recovery half the time. After a lot of cursing and trial and error I successfully formatted everything and reinstalled TWRP, and that stopped.

I had even managed a mass evacuation of my files (simply dragging everything off with windows explorer) to my computer. This included that fateful backup that TWRP made, that didn't seem to be worse the wear. There are some things on here that I'd rather miss (especially since I just cleaned out my PC based backup program yesterday), so I'm trying to restore my phone from there.
