Then why is it that the T-Mobile version and sprint version have unlocked bootloaders?
[Galaxy Note5 General] the Doctor:
+1 This is the decision of AT&T and Verizon. When Samsung sells an international unlocked phone, it always has an unlocked bootloader, which is why you should do this of you insist on staying with AT&T:

Too bad I can't do that with Verizon.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dgibb2000:
S4 had a locked boot loader on mdk on Verizon. We had the Loki method that bypassed the locked boot loader, but it was still locked. That vulnerability was fixed in later updates.

I continue to be a Verizon customer because they have the best network. Doesn't mean we can't still be pissed about carriers locking down phones we buy. The whole system is messed up.

Hi,

I've experienced exactly the same problem a couple of days ago. I used the Addons Detector-app to find out that the Trebuchet-app was responsible for the icon and message ads. Unfortunately it was part of the default apps and couldn't be deleted via the apps manager.

I first installed the Nova Launcher-app as a replacement for the Trebuchet Launcher 3

and activated it (Apps -> Start Page). Then I stopped the Trebuchet app, installed the Root Uninstaller-app, enabled the request of root access (Security Superuser), started the Root Uninstaller-app, chose System Apps and selected the Trebuchet Launcher-app. After pressing the delete button and confirming the root access the app was moved to the waste basket. That's it!

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] SigmundDroid:
Same thing here but recently I got very tired and did "reflash the whole thing".

Ingredients were: Smart Phone Flash Tool, the right USB driver, a lot of RTFM and the latest 5.1.1 Beta (#4) from Jiayu Germany. Even though it is beta, I already prefer it over that bugged OS it came with.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I checked the beta #4 at virustotal, no probs!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] LeD00de:
Decided to flash to jiayu germany 5.1.1 beta 10. I managed to get the rom but the flashing tutorial I found is in german.

Do you have instructions of backup/reflash/recover or whatever in English please?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Use SP Flash Tool on your computer. If you come from KK (such as perhaps your stock ROM) and go to to LP (such as the Beta10 ROM) then it is important to choose 'firmware upgrade' in SP Flash Tool. That's because partition layout changed (LP has one extra partition, not sure what it is for). Once on LP you can choose 'download' to flash further LP upgrades. To backup/recover a ROM one typically uses a custom recovery (mostly TWRP on S3). Beta10 comes prepackaged with LP partition aware TWRP. Beta10 also has GApps, so there is no need to flash GApps on top of it.

Success
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] SigmundDroid:
It's a bit hard to remember my odyssey though webspace back then but I bookmarked some stuff... but here is a pretty decent recipe: some link*

The SP Flash tool was fairly easy but to use get the drivers running was problem. Tried some things without success and got lucky with the same site: some other link**

Altogether:

1. Get SP Flash tool and the right USB driver and make it work (eg. ADB driver)

2. Get the ROM

3. Choose the ".scatter"-file in SP Flash tool and flash

It's some weeks now and I also vaguely remember that the phone had to be off (well, not really sure but you'll see).

! Don't forget to check any downloaded at least with virustotal - I did that back then but the DL-links might have changed.

!! Use it at your own risk! Some kittens might get killed, or even worse: your gets bricked.

* and ** Alas, my apologies, I am not allowed yet to post links but if you google for androidxda sp flash you should find it instantly or just let me know.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] fgiobergia:
Okay, I'm probably a little late for this, but hopefully this will be somewhat helpful to other people having the same problem.

I myself have purchased a Jiayu S3 Advanced a few months back: while the price is hard to beat, it comes with that ROM that sometimes starts installing "random" apps on its own. At first it was bearable, but at some point it started downloading multiple apps every day.

After some analysis (pretty much looking for data usage by different apps) I figured that the problem was with the Trebuchet launcher (which was the only app in that list that I didn't recall using - and also, why would it need Internet access?).

So, what I've done was rather straightforward: install Google Now launcher (but any other launcher should do), uninstall that other launcher. Worked like a charm!

Also, I've heard a few people complaining about this sort of problem with Chinese smartphones: watch out and consider that next time you buy a new smartphone! I know I will :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ebertshay:
Hi everyone, a couple days ago I flashed from stock (smp600) to cm 12 unofficial. I also installed xposed and a few modules. The last module, which I have a hunch is what caused the problem, was xhalofloatingwindows. Last night it was fine when I powered down, but this morning I got a boot loop when I turned it on. So, I booted to recovery, flashed the uninstall xposed and rebooted. It optimized my apps and then shut down automatically after it finished. Same thing when I turned it back on again. So I did a full wipe and reinstalled the cm 12 and xposed, then rebooted system and walked away. When I came back it was hard bricked. Power button doesn't work, no recovery, no download mode, no charging symbol when plugged in. Any ideas? Any way to get into download mode without a removable battery? Thanks in advance for any help!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] vazgsm:
hi there,

well, first of all, you could try the usb jig to force it into download mode ( Read this: http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_download_mode_usb_jig ). You can make one on your own if you have the connector and soldering iron (and buy the needed resistor), or you can buy one ready to use (search ebay). Another option is to let it charge for few hours, amazingly this can help. I didn´t get what you said about 'removable battery', do you mean removing battery?

If not succeeded, would take a little more effort, and a multimeter. Disassemble device, and measure battery with the multimeter. If it has less than 3.3v, it won´t show charging till gets at least 3.5v. If it shows 0v, your battery could be drained so much that tablet cannot charge without a little help from a regulated power suply. If bat is above 3.65v, and still nothing, you may have to take it to Samsung Service Center or some repair shop that have jtag tools (it can rewrite boot sector and make download mode alive again). Hope you get it fixed.

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

I've noticed my battery use in the Settings area is wonky. I only noticed this after applying the OTA 3.1.1. This is on my new RMA unit. It happens to be bootloader unlocked and rooted but is otherwise pretty much stock. I've started settling in on it.

This morning I took it out of my computer bag and noticed it was warmer than usual. Went to settings \ battery to see what was draining it. It was down to 20% battery remaining.

The list of things using battery only added up to about 22% even though 80% was used up. The usual things were in there... Cell standby, screen, android OS .... But not anywhere enough to account for the power used.

I charged it up to the point where the light was green and tablet said 100% charged. Then I used it for a while over the lunch hour. I'm down to 90% but the list only has two entries: screen (7%) and android OS (1%). I'm used to seeing a litany of all sort of processes there.

Any idea what's going on?

I would hate to factory reset and start over but I probably should start from a clean slate. I did not wipe between OTA 3.1 and 3.1.1.

Thoughts? TIA

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hartsink:
Hello.

I used to own a HTC TyTN (Hermes) for a while but I sold it because I had some problems with screen alignment and sometimes the phone was on and geting a good reception and still I couldn't be reached.

Anyway, now I would like to buy a new PDA and I am thinking about buying a new TyTN or a P4350 (Herald). What do you guys think?

- The TyTN has a Samsung 400 mhz processor and sometimes I found it a tad slow, the Herald has a 200mhz processor found on most HTC products. Will the Herald be even slower?

- I see the Herald has no dedicated buttons on top of the screen (for Outlook and Internet Explorer) but can I set a given button to launch a program? (like arrow up, down, etc..) It was not possible on the Hermes.

- In size and weight matters I think we all agree that the Herald is better.

- Connectivity: the Herald has no IrDA (which is useless to me) and no UMTS. Can I have a decent internet connection speed with EDGE or HSDPA?

- Herald doesn't have video call support but it's not that important, altought I have 120 minutes of video calls for free and I won't spend them.

- What is really important is the qwerty keypad. It's just imposible to write sms or email with the virtual keyboard. Which keypad is better? Herald's or TyTN's?

EDIT: - Macro mode on the TyTN was really great and usefull. That one will me missed if I buy a Herald.

Which one would you suggest knowing that I will use it mainly for web browsing, reading and writing emails, phone calls, listening to mp3s, etc...

Thanks a lot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Neverwork:
if one of your main concerns is web browsing

if you have 3G in your Area...seems like the TyTN would be the choice

as it has a UMTS/HSDPA Radio

as long as you have a way of charging it when the battery gets eaten up

the 400mhz vs 200mhz issue

yes, im sure that the 200mhz would be slower than the hermes

Keyboard-Wise

idk about the Herald...but my TyTN Keyboard has become a little unresponsive and i need to press some buttons hard sometimes

i think this is a hardware defect and im looking into it

it does require me to take mine apart...again...lol

hope this helps :)

Hey,

I have first an TYTN and sold them (Buy Dezember 2006): A lot of Problems and bugfixes

Then I buy an Herald: First wonderfull, but if you use many programms 200mHZ to slow. No scroll whell but ab better keyboard.:cool:

4 Weeks ago I sold them and buy again a TYTN and since then; I love it, but the keyboard from the Herald is better

----> If you ask me: I will buy an TYTN again

Regards

Oliver
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hartsink:
Thank for your answer.

Well, I do have 3G coverage and I will use the device for web browsing and email so I think the Hermes (TyTN) would suit me better. What kind of connections does the Herald have? Here is only states that it has EDGE. How fast can that go?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Neverwork:
For a Comparison between EDGE and HSDPA

in my area my results were:

EDGE: 156kb/s

HSDPA: 896kb/s

and HSDPA had a much lower pingtime

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bravo261:
the herald is a lot thinner if that matters, and to my girlfriend( and myself if i needed a keyboard) a slim phone almost means more than anything. the 200mhz didn't feel slower yet, but then i'll run two programs max, and could live with the speed since the tytn didn't feel too much faster.

we're with t-mobile, so 3g wasn't important or available, but if i had it, i'm unsure that would sway me. going wifi doesn't seem all that fast either. we don't browse the web much, mostly just email and certain data-pulling programs so the 3g isn't all that to us.

but the keyboard, and all front keys, and the sliding keyboard mechanism are all so much nicer. the front keys are the best of the 6-8 htc products i've run across. similar in feel to the Jam, whereas the 8525 are the worst(notice, 8525, not htc tytn itself).

if i had to choose, it'd be the herald unless the web is a BIG need

[Moto X Q&A] xdadumas:
I have a rooted Verizon Moto X 2013 Developer Edition (XT1060) with Android 4.4.4, TWRP and SuperSU installed. I rooted the phone so I could install a wi-fi tethering app that I frequently use. Last night I noticed that the Lollipop OTA was available, and being a dumas, I proceeded to download it without coming to xda-developers first to educate myself on the correct process and potential issues with the upgrade (one such issue being whether I will be able to run my tethering app after the upgrade). Consequently, after I downloaded the upgrade, my phone restarted and booted to the TWRP screen, and I don't know where to go from there to complete the upgrade, if it's even possible to do so.

This is my only phone, so it's more important that I get my phone up and running in the next 1-2 hours than it is to complete the upgrade. With that in mind, what should I do next? Is there a way to quickly abort the upgrade process, perhaps by simply deleting the update file "Blur_Version.212.166.3.ghost_verizion.Verizon.en.US.zip" in my cache folder using TWRP's File Manager and rebooting my phone? Or is it possible to complete the upgrade process in the next 1-2 hours? If so, how should I proceed?

By the way, TWRP is displaying the following error messages:

Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/Blur_Version.212.166.3.ghost_verizion.Verizon.en.US.zip'

Error installing zip file '/cache/Blur_Version.212.166.3.ghost_verizion.Verizon.en.US.zip'

Thanks in advance for helping me recover from my dumas behavior.
[Moto X Q&A] kschang:
The OTA update file does not work with TWRP, IMHO. It only works with the stock recovery.

If you just boot back out of TWRP (boot back to regular system) your phone should still be functional.
[Moto X Q&A] xdadumas:
Thanks, kschang. Your suggestion worked, but not right away, so there appears to be a twist involved that other users should be aware of if they get stuck in the same situation I was in.

As I indicated in my original post, after downloading the update, my phone would power off and boot to TWRP. From TWRP's main menu I would click on "Reboot," then "System." I tried this a number of times, and each time my phone would reboot to what it appeared to be before I downloaded the upgrade, but only for about 10 seconds, then it would power off and reboot to TWRP again--except for just now, when the phone displayed a message that the upgrade had failed and no changes were made to my phone! Apparently the upgrade process has to fail a certain number of times before it finally aborts. I don't know what the number is, but I must have tried rebooting my phone at least 10-15 times before the upgrade process aborted.

So thanks again for your suggestion. It encouraged me to keep trying to reboot until it ultimately worked:good:
[Moto X Q&A] daddylonglegs:
I had the same issue with my phone rebooting so I forced the system update app to freeze via Titanium Backup and that seemed to work.

My phone now is kinda messed up though. To get it to boot I have to hold the volume key while powering it up and choose "boot normally". Any time I just restart my phone or power it up while it's off I get a black screen because like the OP I tried to update to Lollipop without reading XDA first. Doh!!

Any first impressions on the update for this phone by the way? Battery life improve or get worse? Can I still use Xposed on Lollipop? Rooting still possible? Wifi tethering for us on unlimited data?

[Moto X Q&A] James L:
Root is still possible. The only issue i had was after flashing Twrp, if i rebooted the phone and then tried to boot the recovery Twrp was gone. So i reflashed Twrp while i was still in fastboot i selected "recovery" it booted into Twrp and i flashed a SuperSU zip.

After that i could reboot into Teamwin without issue. I haven't tried Xposed yet. Battery life is great on my end.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

The way i did it was to fastboot flash the dev edition 4.4.4 files to unroot. Then i used Verizon upgrade assistant to take the small update that came out awhile ago. After that i factory reset the phone, checked for updates and the first of two updates installed then it updated to 5.1

I reinstalled Twrp and regained root access.
[Moto X Q&A] rice923:
Would flashing dev 4.4.4 unroot as well as remove twrp? Twrp seems to be the main obstacle to get past in order to get the update going. If so, I might just do this tomorrow
