Thanks for the replies guys!

I am now very happily running the 'normal' version of JJ's Black Satin rom and radio rom 1.48.

Everything seems to be working fine now. Adding the extra 0 into my voicemail number did the trick; so easy once you know how!

The data connection can still be slow occasionally. I think this is because if you have a weak 3G signal this overrides a stronger GPRS one. Sometimes the 3G signal is so weak it can't transfer any data and the phone just keeps trying in 3G rather than switching to the stronger GPRS signal which would work. This is easy the fix, just go into com manager and disable 3G (on the black satin rom at least).

Generally I am very happy and my device is finally working the way I wanted it to.

Once again, thanks for your help

Cheers

Matt

I have a Samsung Galaxy core prime on metro and want to use my data vs wifi, I have no wifi where I'm at due to having hotpot on my cell phone. I have multiple apps that require wifi only to run and I want to trick it in using only my data connection. the posts I have seen require root, and I have yet to see any solid proof that this phone can be rooted. Any suggestions is appreciated.

I've got the Note 4 N910T3

I rooted, via the beast kernal. Everything was going fine until I decided to factory reset (had a few programs go haywire)

factory reset went fine, I reinnitialized android with my google information. Rebooted the phone, and now I'm stuck at "custom binary blocked by frp"

It's my fault for not rechecking the option in developer settings, but its too late

I can get into download mode, but simply booting, or getting into recovery give me that error.

what can I do to get my phone booting?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chr0nicDreamz:
That would be the factory reset protection, you need to odin the stock images back on, run through the setup as fast as possible, open developer options, and turn on OEM Unlocking. From there you can flash whatever you'd like. The FRP will also block insecure kernels, and recoveries from being loaded.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum. If not I apologize.

In the last few days my battery life dropped from 2 + days to a few hours. I got more batteries. Same result. I scanned with AVG and Malware Bytes. Nothing. I tried looking up apps that were safe to "freeze" with TB, and froze the ones on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483927 . I powered off and restarted my phone, and now it gets to the big white V over the word VERIZON on a red field and just freezes there. When the phone started before, when the Samsung "Galaxy Note 3" logo came up, it said something afterwords - I don't remember the wording, but it started right after I rooted. It had something to do with the rooting. Anyway, apparently something I froze had to do with the proper operation of the rooting. So now I think I need to start the phone in some kind of "safe mode" and undo what I'd frozen. I just have no idea at all how to do that. Any help would be appreciated a lot!

Start the phone in download mode ( volume down, power and home), download the correct firmware from sammobile and flash it in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dravekx:
With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button (located on the right edge) until the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo appears (the animated one) then release.

With the logo on the screen, press and hold the Volume down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.

Note Phone goes through entire boot up process before showing Safe mode. This may take up to 45 seconds.

Thanks!

Can I do this to just flash it back to stock? I'll worry about root later.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
That didn't work. And I waited 3 minutes. Actually I should have said this. The phone no longer responds to the power button after it's started. The only way I can shut it off is to remove the battery. I CAN get into recovery mode though. That worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
OK. Actually, I DID get it to start in safe mode. I had to let go of the power button as soon as I saw a display and hold the volume down for about a minute and a half and the phone started to a black screen that just says SAFE MODE in the lower left. It's been on that screen for several minutes now. None of the buttons seem to have any effect so I don't know how I can disable (or unfreeze) any apps. Did I brick my phone by trying to freeze apps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve01351:
Many thanks. I'm downloading the firmware now. Another 5-6 hours. Could be worse.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegamerchunk1:
This is a tangent to the issue I had Situated HERE. I am seriously giving up on hope and want help for the love of god. Semester is approaching and I need a functioning mobile :eek:

After "fixing" my isssue and being on Lolipop 5.0.2, I realised that my SU binary wasn't present, So I reboot into recovery to realise that CWM isn't present anymore.

Not a big issue, I plug it in and flash TWRP onto it using fasboot commands.

Now i go into recovery and Install Superuser.zip trough TWRP. Then I decide to make a backup of everything. Afterwards I rebooted

The boot logo (The logo in which it normally mentions that Bootloader is unlocked and blablabla) Apears. But then it closes. Apears again but then closes once more. It keep doing than until I boot it into bootloader and close it once arrived there.

If I try to get into TWRP again it closes and continue the cycle.

So I flashed in CWM recovery with the intention to Flash the Stock lolipop ZIP that I done before (which fixed it).

When I boot CWM however, I am presented with a bunch of command lines at the bottom saying

"E: can't mount cache/logs"

and other lines (If you want the exact command lines say so and I will go get them). I didn't flinched to it (sometimes weird **** happens like that and I got used to it) so I go into the install from sdcard. I get this amazing message:

E: cannot mount sdcard

And all gui is not even present. I close the phone and start panicking

################################################################

In other words I need help. I will be checking this thread all the time looking for any help. I am giving up. faced such a problem in my life. I am scared that I bricked the phone for good.

Here is all I know about said phone:

KITKAT MOTO G 4.4.4

from

canada

(obtained from

WIND mobile

) most likely

XT1034

(Its a mono sim)

The bootloader is 41.18

I used

TWRP 2.8.6.2 for xt1032

(This is probably why everything exploded. I didn't realised it was for xt1032)

And I used

CWM touch 6.4.0.7 falcon

MORE INFO WILL BE COMING, But I am extremely stressed right now to the idea that I might killed it.

#######################################################################################

Update 1. I calmed down. I searched the error message and found out that it could either be an issue with CWM being currupted. I will reflash it and bring details. If it doesn't work I will format cache (Wiping the cache seems to not work)

Formatting the cache seems to fix all the cache error messages. But the mounting of /sdcard still present an obstacle

I decided to try and sideload stock rom lolipop. Seems to be working. Will be updating the results.

Here are the result:

ON MOTO G

-Install zip from sideload

nothing unusual happens

ON ADB

- adb sideload "lolipop stock rom".zip

Loads.....

Sends.....
