I see lots of root programs, is there a best one?

Can you flash with TWRP?

And someone said all i have to do is...

"Full Process

1) Unlock Bootloader.

2) Flash TWRP Recovery.

3) Get the no more OTA.zip from XDA and flash it via TWRP

4) Check if the update option is removed from Settings, if not flash it again.

Done! "

Is that ok also?

Thank you...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EowynCarter:
You need to root to flash twrp?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
No, but you do need an unlocked bootloader to fastboot flash anything.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EowynCarter:
Yeah, that the conclusion i reached.

Flash done, now runing bliss pop. First start got me loads of errors. I went :confused: until i realized i had forgotten to wipe. It's been a while since i last played with custom roms.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarocks:
Well, that's disappointing
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
Ok i followed the http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316

I got to "On the tablet, select "recovery reboot"

But i didn't see it so i selected reboot, i rebooted and was on stock i think?

1) I can see that a few more steps and i'm rooted.

But i'm nervous to try this again from that point.

Should i just start at unlocking the boot loader?

2) Is rooting the device permanently unlocking the boot loader?

3) can i just no OTA from unlocking the boot loader part?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
Ok i got to side loader and in the command it says error can't find device and there's an android guy on his back with a red statement mark.

So I'm in developer USB.

I have unlocked the boot loader

I'm flashing the recovery

And i get to restart in recovery.

Then i get the menus to side load the supersu.zip

I renamed it with out caps, i even made a folder in C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

Cause it installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

just to avoid the (x86)

when i try and leave the menu to reset it asked me to root, but i had the error so don't want to brick it if rooting with an error on side loading supersu.zip

What do i do?

Thank you...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
says

loading: 'supersu.zip'

error: device '(null)' not found

And no android guy on his back this time.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenziedfemale:
You have unlocked bootloder and installed cwm recovery so yay! Download the SuperSU file on your tablet. Make sure you know where it downloaded to. Boot your tablet o to fastboot menu using the power/vol down. Select recovery mode using volume then power to select. Chose install zip then from sdcard (not the sdcard1) chose 0/ then search for where you put SuperSU and select it. Install. Then navigate to reboot. If asked to fix root pick yes
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
I don't have an SD card ATM. LOL

Why is the command with ADB not working?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenziedfemale:
You don't need a card the sdcard referee to is your internal memory on your tablet. Not sure why ADB isn't working but I had a similar issue with cwm once.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
Ok that installed it.

WOW thank for that.

I guess I'm rooted, how do i test it and what does being rooted do for me?

Thank you....

Did you go back and flash the nomoreOTA zip? That is the most important part!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337g0g0:
Ok i just flashed nomoreOTA.zip.

It said the file was deleted and was a success.

I guess i can use the internet now?

I'm so nervous to turn the internet on and have the thing reset... :(

Did i need to run supersu to keep it rooted or always rooted until i use supersu to full unroot.

Thank you...

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WraithLord1933:
Hi,

I flashed Bliss on my old tablet, do I still need to run nomoreOTA ? on the old tablet ?

Also does any one know if the new tablet will be able to be killed if I leave it stock ?

I would prefer to keep it stock if possible,

Thanks
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
New tablets with TegraOTA running (I.e. stock) are at risk of having OTAs pushed to them without user verification. This includes accidental kills if the nvidia system has a glitch... Seems unlikely but there have been reports. I ran nomoreota specifically on my new tab to prevent this possibility. Once I get my systems working I want to control how and when they update.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
You will need to apply updates manually.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowiiSnowii:
Hi everyone,

I am gonna have a noobish set of questions (despite the fact of having rooted and flashed a few phones already) so please stick with me :)

I have already received the new Shield last week but I am keeping it in the box untouched for now, my old one is in original state (stock, unrooted) with 5.1.1 (the last OTA I know about was the one enabling me to recognise the recall type of battery) and now a OTA was trying to download itself which I cancelled immidiately - I have just turned the old tablet on after a few weeks. Using http://shield.bogdacutu.me/ I get back a blank page, so I am guessing the killswitch hasn't been triggered for my unit yet, is that correct?

I also would like to confirm that I can simply leave the new unit untouched for now and easily root and flash TWRP on the old one - I have an unbased fear that once I start the process due to some OTA already in the old unit it will deactive itself. Is that a nonsense? Is there a way to check? Does not touching the new unit guarantee that the old one has and will have no kill switch in the meantime?

Thank you!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagilsugaM:
Yeah, I am also curious about that. A friend has the old one. He didn't apply the latest ota. So I assume it should be safe since he disabled the WIFI. I made a new thread with the question.

[Android Apps and Games] laufersteppenwolf:
After publishing CutCalc, a colleague of mine had the (not so) brilliant idea that I could write an app that can scan resistors and tell you their resistance. At first I was like 'nah, too much work', but after some time I, too, felt like it would come quite handy to have such an app.

Long story short, I have built an app that can do exactly that. It is not completely finished yet, but it's at a point where it's doing what it's supposed to do. I know that the UI is not really...umm...beautiful yet, but I'm not really good when it comes to graphics and designing :o

ScanR​

[IMG="ScanR app icon"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COPlwgsWwAANJ7W.png:small[/IMG]​

How to use:

In order to scan a resistor, you have to place it with the tolerance band to the right (works best with bright backgrounds).

Then position the blue line over the color bands indicating the resistance. The left border should align with the first band, the right one with the last band.

When you've positioned your camera correctly,

Press the scan button. The app will then scan until it has 20 proper readings and then calculate the most common value of the scans.

Once it has calculated the most likely result you will be redirected to the result screen.

(Using the advanced result screen you can directly edit the color combination in case it was read incorrectly.)

Of course you can also switch directly to the manual detection screen and enter the color combination manually.

And as usual, you have settings for pretty much anything you could possibly wanna have changed.

Please note that this app gets developed on my Z3 Compact's camera, so all color values are tweaked for my camera. It is quite possible that my values do not properly fit yours, so please let me know if there are some colors not being properly recognized on your device.

Further plans:

- Nicer UI

- Further fine tuning of the color values

LOL i did not block cam-access, and since other apps (like whatsapp) had permissions, i thought it had to do with Android M.

Most new phones have a maximum of 400 characters or something, my atom only allows 160 characters.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] PPCNUT:
Is it not allowing you to write more than 160 characters?

Default is 160 characters per text message, looks like it cannot be altered (well anyway, I didn't see that option in SKTools).

Standard SMS per message for any phone is 160 char.

O2 Atom Exec allows you to type more than 160...which means u are being bill more than 1 sms as long u write more than 160...

Hello everybody

I have Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (purchased in France), That has never been rooted, and which is already under Lollipop (regular updates by Samsung)

I would like to root it in order to be able to use some apps that only work under rooted devices.

I went through all the forums, tried all I could, but didn't succeed.

I tryed :

Towelroo

t, but it seems it doesn't have the stratedy for this version or this android version

Kingroot, but it seems it doesn't have the stratedy for this version or this android version

Via Odin, CF-auto-root, but I always get a "FAIL"!

Via Odin, CWM- recovery , but always get a "FAIL" or Odin bugs..

Via Odin, Twrp, but always get a "FAIL" or Odin bugs..

I'm not an expert at all, but really tried my best... I seems there ar elots of things to root a GN3 under Kikkat, but it is more difficult to root when it is already under Lollipop..

Would you have any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Update drivers on pc and the latest odin also make sure your cf is for lollipop and your reactivation lock is off failing that try the latest firmware or a prerooted one

HYBRID
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Yeah make sure the drivers are installed on PC! If you are on an updated version of Windows 7 or 10 as soon as you connect the phone to your PC the drivers will be automatically downloaded for your phone, unless you have Windows auto update disabled.

When you are connecting the phone to Odin you SHOULD see the connection confirmation message as in com0, com1 or whatever. See the attached screenshot if that helps.

And I have no idea about those root methods, but for rooting a N9005 it's extremely easy. Just download TWRP from here, https://twrp.me/ Flash it with Odin. Download the .tar image obviously as you are using Odin. Then download this Super SU zip and flash via TWRP, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

A bit better..

Hello.. Thanks to both of you.. There is a little bit progress..

Indeed, there was an issue with the reactivation lock.. Then I succeeded in installing some files.. some failed some succeeded.

I tried the CF-auto-boot and CWM. Then I also tried to run the SuperSU file..

However, I'm not sure all is working ok..

- When I use the Root Checker Basic, it says "Congratulations!, Root access is properly installer on this device.

- However, I installed Titanium backup, and a windows ask me "Requete Super Utilisateur"... However, I cannot click on neither "Refuse" or "Authorize"...?? (Same issue with Greenify!)

So At the end, I don't really what is installed, what is not, what is working! How should I proceed to make sure I can use such app, such as Titanium backup, Greenify, JuiceDefenders, etc?

- When I press Start/Home/VolDown, I get :

"Odin Mode

Product name : SM-N9005

Current Binary : Custom

System status : Custom

Reactivation Lock : Off

Knox Warranty Void : 0x1 (4)

Qualcomm Secureboot : Enable (CSB)

- When I press Start/Home/VolUp, I get the file attached.

System UI crashing after pressing "task viewer" button

After updating to CM12.1 comming from the DigitalHigh ROM, I started experiencing System UI crashes whenever pressing the "task viewer" button (whatever this button is called (The square one in the soft keys)).

Im currently running with the latest version of TWRP and no ROM and as far as I know, my device is not bricked.

See video of the issue --> on youtube /watch?v=CUvcIfUmfIs

Also, for some reason, my animations are now sped up by 10x even tho, both in my settings and launcher settings I have my animation scaled at 1x.

I have tried:

-Installing another ROM (3 different ROMs)

-Flashing the default recovery and wiping/factory resetting data

-Updating my TWRP

-Running in Safe Mode to see if apps were causing this issue

-Unmouting my SD card

-Wiping everything multiple times

-Clearing my System UI cache

Essentially, I've tried every solutions to similar issues.

Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostinCanada:
Hi there,

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE version, which I purchased through Ebay - I believe it came from Asia somewhere as it showed up with an international adapter for the power supply. It was sold as a "Verizon" model - I ditched that sim card and have been using it with Bell Mobility in Canada.

Recently, I tried to update my firmware using the latest version of Samsung Kies and I'm running Windows 10 latest version. For some reason Kies needs to reinstall the USB driver before performing the update to the firmware and this causes Windows 10 to crash without fail. (This is also happening to my Note 3 - Samsung informs me Kies is not compatible with Windows 10 although it seems to work for everything else - just not the update). Kies doesn't seem to care that I already have the latest drivers installed.

I can't update via the tablet because my device has been "modified" - rooted.

Finally I went to Sammobile for the firmware, however I can't find any US firmware for a compatible carrier under SM-T705. I am debating flashing the Bell Canada firmware, but the model is listed as SM-T705W. In case this is not ok and I need to revert to the original, I'm hoping someone can help me identify my build? The samsung agent offered to identify it but once she discovered it was from outside Canada she said she had no information. So much for Samsung International!

Please help! I'm having battery issues and I'm hoping updated firmware will help, plus I would like to have the latest version of Android. Thanks!

Hi there, forgive me for being thick, but how do you tell it's Cellular south, and what do you mean by region XAR? I'm sure that the fellow I bought this unit from flashed US firmware, however I can't find it on the Sammobile site - in fact I can't find any US carrier firmware listed for this model.

As mentioned above, I did find Bell mobility (Canada) firmware listed for the SM-T705W but nothing for the SM-T705.

Further explanation greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You can flash any firmware for that model, so just flash the Canadian firmware, no point in flashing a us firmware.
