[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartphone3:
Hello thank you.

I'm typing this from my s3 mini. It has been rooted with kingroot the rooting is ok now needed to allow permission.

So it's ok for a Uk Samsung galaxy s3 mini be updated to later firmware. I read couple guides on here with the cynam rom.

Has is got to be done by odin?.

I also read that can be done with rom manager app is this true?.

What is the latest and stable firmware for samsung galaxy s3 mini GT- i8190n?

Also erm What's a kernel and has that got to be done?

On the downloads page I choose my model and cyamogen then is it recovery or odin I download?

Thank you to everyone

Hey fellas

I have search the web for this and found nothing.

When i set Knock Code on the G2 (both 5.0.2 and 4.4.2), Knock On wont work anymore!

I have test it on the G3 and both works together

has anyone know a way of getting them both working together?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdy5:
yea,i'd like to know about that too.

i did try it on stock and on cloudy 3.3 and nothing,only knock code works,which is a bummer...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iko11:
Do you know what Knock Code made for ? It replaces Knock On for a special pattern of tap. It's meant for screen lock. If you can unlock your device by Double Tap what the hell is the meaning of Knock Code pattern ? You got it very wrong..

It supports 2 to 8 special tap patterns.

Knock On supports any Double Tap made in a row to same spot of screen. But you can set Knock Code any differrent spots of the screen.

I know what it is. The fact is that on the g3 you can use both. On g2 you can't.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iko11:
So there is something stupid with G3, a Screen Lock is made for Screen Lock option :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purpleraintoxicity:
The idea of having both is the you can't directly unlock. And you can double tap to see notificaion

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdy5:
i did try that on stock 5.0.2 but it didn't solve it.

from what i've tested,g3 and g4 has that feature .

i wanted to have a lockscreen and being able to quickly unlock with knock code straight to the homescreen ,while staying "safe" with the code on.

imo it should have worked because if you press the powerbutton, with knock code activated ,you do have a lockscreen and a designated space to tap the code.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waroo14:
Hoping for some advice how to get Sprint Note 4 running again. The phone has never been rooted. Up until a couple of weeks ago most of the OTA updates had been received and applied no problem. A couple of weeks ago my wife pulled it out of her bag and showed me it was on the update screen and had been for a couple of hours eventually the batter went dead. We took out the dead battery charged it and tried to restart. It goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 white on black screen vibrates twice then the screen goes black and it repeats the same thing over and over.

Now i'm not sure how to proceed. I'm familiar with Odin and rooting my own phones but leave my wifes stock normally.

First i tried reset in recovery - When i boot to recovery after a few seconds the android robot lies on its back with a red triangle over it. At the top of the recovery screen it says Android system recovery - LRX22C.N910PVPU3BOF5. I tried wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partion and rebooting but makes no difference.

I thought install official firmware manually

I put the phone in download mode it displays

current binary: samsung official

system status: official

reactivation lock: off

knox warranty void: 0x0

I downloaded a stock firmware N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_N910PVPU3BOF5_HOME.tar.md5

installed Odin3 v3.10.6.exe

installed F/W this using Odin.

Odin finishes normally, box turns green and PASS! but the phone just restarts and does the boot looping thing.

I don't know what to do next - suggestions? Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjesse:
Have you tried booting to safe mode, you'll have to Google it as I'm not sure of the procedure for stock phone. What your describing doesn't sound good, I would have thought the odin flash would have worked.

You could always try to odin OG5 Stock tar, can be downloaded from kies. Sorry i cannot offer more but it sounds like you're doing all the right things.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Yes, I agree, that's good advice. I'd say try KIES first, then safe mode if KIES doesn't yield results.

Did you get to safe mode? From power off, hold power until 2nd splash screen, release and press-hold power plus volume up until it boots or vibrates. I think if you continue to hold, it loops until you release but boots into safe mode.

Unlock screen and go into security (if it boots) and uncheck Reactivation lock, Knox active protection and make sure device isn't encrypted. Finger scanner; remove registered finger prints, and change lock-screen to swipe. Then factory reset or try whichever you prefer to try next. If normal reboot still fails, then factory reset in safe mode and reboot. If still loops, try the KIES or Odin flash. I'm not too familiar with stock and default security but looking at OG5 security options, seems there's redundancies that could potentially be in play preventing Odin flash as if the phone thinks the phone is in the hands of someone other than the registered owner. You may need to bypass it all to boot or flash.

Typically, it's data corruption that causes a loop that stock tar doesn't fix in tars OF5 and below. OG5 has frequent reports of wiping user data but I've seen occasional reports of inability to flash OG5 tar from OF5. I saw another today that reported having to Odin OF5 tar again and take OTA to get to OG5. I asked what the failure indications were but so far only know his rooted phone couldn't get there without taking those steps. So perhaps you're on the right track, it's just the security and our security that's being a hindrance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waroo14:
thanks for the suggestions. I tried booting into safe mode but i can never get past the first white on black Samsung Note 4 powered by android screen. No matter how long i hold just the power button it just goes black and back to this screen every few seconds. I never get to the second boot splash screen. Any other way to force the phone into Safe mode?

I've installed kies and smart switch. The phone is not recognized by either whilst boot looping. If i put it in download mode and connect it kies3 displays unsupported device. How do i get Kies let me download a copy of OG5 firmware to my pc to try with Odin? I can't figure this out. I connected my own Note 4 to kies and it recognizes it fine and displays This is the latest firmware Current og5 latest og5 but i still don't see how to download a fresh copy of OG5 to the PC? In Kies i go to Tools, Firmware upgrade and initialisation. I'm entering the model name SM-N910P and then it wants a serial number. How do i determine this? I tried the Dec and Hex numbers from the back of the phone, i tried the Hex number plus a 1 and plus a 9 - i read this is the imei and this is confirmed from looking in settings on my other note 4. I'd really like to get a clean download of sprint OG5 from Kies i've searched for instructions without success.

Suggestions what i can try next? Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
This may help your PC detect the phone better in recovery mode for KIES. Can't say it gets past unsupported device but it was a problem I had with adb in recovery on my Windows 8.1 machine. Read the OP and post 14 to see if it applies to you. Try detecting phone in recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34864154&postcount=14

I've always found safe mode a little difficult to get into but once I found my phone had went there when I was carrying something wrapped around the phone while in a belt pouch. Holding both buttons must have been the way it accidentally got there.

That unsatisfied s/n inquiry has puzzled some of us here and we haven't found a solution AFAIK.

I'm not sure but you may have to also Odin OF5 and take OTA like some others have had to do. There are some tar files in general forum that others succeeded with. Sorry but that's about all I can think of. Unless you can get it to Best Buy Samsung Experience or Sprint service center and explain what happened. They should be able to flash stock back on it. That may be best solution since there was no doubt about root or void warranty on that one.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waroo14:
Thanks for the suggestions.

I found more instruction for getting into safe mode which work on my other note 4 but no success with this one.

I was trying to Odin OF5 it goes all the way through in Odin and displays success but never actually boots.

Would it be possible to replace the stock recovery with something else that might have additional features to get a working f/w to install and then downgrade back to stock or will i risk just making things more screwed up? I wouldn't care about taking OTA updates if i could just get a working F/W back onto this phone.

Encryption and security were not enabled on the phone.

So without S/N what is the work around to use Kies with Sprint phones?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjesse:
Since you're pure stock and given the problems I'd stay away from a custom recovery at this point. Your reporting a successful odin flash of stock OF5 then rebooting right back to the same boot loop problem is sounding more and more like something has seriously failed in the phone, I'd start thinking replacement.

If you dont know you can install the MIUI 7 on your phone by clicking on this link: http://en.miui.com/thread-149081-1-1.html

There is a full description on how to install MIUI 7 on your Redmi 2... :)

This method can successfully Root your Redmi 2 running MIUI7

...

Steps are as follows:

1)Install TWRP recovery(I used TWRP myself so I dont know totally that any other recovery will work or not..you can yourself comment here if it does)

2)Download the attached file into the phone.

3)You can search the Miforum or xda to flash the proper version of the TWRP recovery for Redmi 2.

4)After successfully flashing TWRP go to Recovery using Vol up+power button and then selecting Recovery

5)Inside the recovery go to install and select the path where you have downloaded the attached file.

6)Install the zip(It will take about 1-2 minutes)...CONGRATS...Your device is successfully rooted...!!Enjoy Root access...

**If you are prompted to update the binary update it...Select TWRP/CWM method when prompted...

Sometimes it may happen that you dont get root access with this method...For this you have to factory reset your phone and again reinstall the MIUI7 rom via recovery flashable zip...You can search the MIUI forums for the same...

P.S:The TWRP can be used to install weekly OTA updates as well so no need to care for the Stock recovery even after you flash the TWRP recovery.Although after the OTA update your device will go back to stock Mi recovery but you can reflash twrp using Flashify app if you need it...(Available on the store)

***"I am NOT RESPONSIBLE if doing this Bricks your phone or causes any other type of harm...I am sharing something that I found while experimenting..!!"***

I used MIUI 7 ver.5.8.22 and ver 5.8.28 during this process..!! :p :)

If it works please credit me!!Thanks...!!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyvillian:
I have a pair of Etymotic hf2's, which are supposed to be 'android-compatible' canalphones with a built-in mic. I seem to recall being able to use these with older Android versions, although for the past few months I haven' been able to use them. The audio sounds washed out. I've read that this phone isn't compatible with TRRS connectors, although I do remember it working. Was this perhaps a fluke, do I have a bad memory, or perhaps was there a kernel audio SoC driver that changed that removed the compatibility?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjiHansell:
I'm fairly sure the answer is no. I've just upgraded to a large 1440p monitor for both my PC and the Shield to use in my small room at university. The Windows PC is obviously perfectly happy to output at any resolution I want, and even prompts me if I use anything other than the display's native resolution. The Shield on the other hand has extremely few settings in every department, including HDMI. I get that Google is trying to simplify their various software for the average user but come on, no option to set the output resolution? Ridiculous. Under Settings, HDMI I've set 'HDMI optimisation' to 'best resolution' mode (that's the only relevant setting I can find). I've then restarted and it still appears that the Shield is outputting 1080p and letting my monitor scale it up (crudely). I'm not only going by my judgement of the image quality. When I take a screenshot it saves as 1080p.

Presumably people with 4K displays aren't experiencing such a problem? The device is, after all, supposed to be 4K60 capable.

I haven't tried any custom ROMs (nor do any current ROMs offer a 10-foot UI as far as I'm aware), I wonder if it would help though?

Nor have I looked into using the Xposed framework (which I've only ever read about and never properly used), though I'm doubtful whether that could help.

My problem isn't with 1080p HD itself. As far as video is concerned I can't even tell much difference between 720p and 1080p at a normal movie viewing distance. It's when any GUI renders at non-native resolution that it becomes really obvious and annoying to me.

Maybe try this? It's for dropping res to increase performance, but I don't see why it can't increase it too.

This app may also work. It also allows for overscan adjust if you would need that on any other display.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjiHansell:
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay, I've been moving house.

I got a copy of the .apk for Screen Shift from the developer on that thread and Sideloaded it and used it to change the resolution to 1440p. The result it interesting. Everything on the screen shrinks (presumably in proportion to the increase in resolution).

This proves that the hardware can physically output in 1440p, which is to be expected considering that it is 4K capable. However another reasonable assumption was that the software would be optimised for smoothly coping with 1440p, and it isn't. This is quite disappointing considering that it is a 4K-capable gaming device and that 1440p is a popular choice among gamers in particular.

Curiously I was unable to take a screenshot of what I am describing. I'll attach a photo instead.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
so you got thta working somewhat at least. Is everything stretched? It looks fine to me from the picture, but those can only show so much. Unfortunately, the 21:9 market is really a niche, not to say that I don't understand how amazing that they are, I intend to own one someday. Unfortunately for us and Nvidia, Android TV, and ANdroid in general is made to work well with 16:9 ratios as that's what almost every TV, monitor, and phone are these days, or really dang close. On top of that, this is a media box, which you could argue both ways that 21:9 is very nice for ultra-wide movies and also not usefol to many as most if not all blu-ray is 16:9 for most media formats, and games aren't likely optimized for a small niche. It makes sense that they wouldn't add support at this time, and I want support as I would buy a 1440p monitor if they would add support, but it'd be more work for each app, though mostly games, to support an odd ratio, and on top of that, even shield specific games are pretty niche, and then to add a niche feature to a niche product, just isn't monitairly worth the time. Sorry to make this so long, but I wanted to explain the best my tired brain could.

TLDR: It's not worth it for them, but DANG it would be nice. Till then, we have to hope that a monitor will black bar it to 16:9 for us, or that hack to work.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjiHansell:
1440p is 16:9, so the 1080p image scales up without needing to be stretched or cropped.

Interestingly with firmware upgrade v2.0 they've added a few more HDMI settings, including one to change the resolution and refresh rate. Unfortunately, despite being connected to a 1440p monitor, the only available options are all 1080p (as shown in the attached screenshot).
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Wow, I'm totally not on the ball. Mixing up 1440p with 21:9, sorry about that. It looks like Screen shift did what you needed though. It'd be nice to see that added, but for now, workarounds are there at least.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeHughesOS:
Hi, im just wondering if the OP ever managed to get his Shield to output 1440p?

Ive been watching some UHD / 2K video trailers on youtube using my PC and i've been blown away by the quality, in particular the "Samsung UHD - Transformers Age Of Extinction (2014)" video ( incase someone wants to check it out).

Ive just upgraded to a Curved 1440p display so I now have a spare 1440p monitor that I would love to use with my Shield TV and finally replace my old plasma tv Ive been using for years. After seeing the quality I can get playing a 2K 60fps video on the display it would be great if I could use my shield tv to play UHD content @ 1440p as the hardware is clearly capable.. I'm just hoping there is a work around to enable it. Even if I need to root my Shield / Install a custom ROM. I've googled and hit a brick wall..

Anyone have any solutions to displaying 1440p @ 60hz on the Shield? (fingers crossed)

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luis_Erasmo:
[Solved] Yes! you can 1440p (2560x1440 @60Hz) with the nvidia shield. just:

1) Enable developer options (search for tutorial ,easy)

2) Go to: Developer Options > HDMI section > Show all supported modes in custom display modes> enable.

3) Settings > Devices Preferences >Display & Sound > Resolution > Select to match the resolution of your monitor.

While you are there, may be you want to force Advanced Display Settings > Dynamic Range to Full to match the full RGB input of your monitor. Mine a Monoprice IPS27 shows washed out colors by default with Nvidia Shield, switching to full RGB solves the issue

Have a good day!

Hello members, so here is my short story, I bought the note 2 close to release date. Within a few days I dropped and cracked it and ended up just buying a used phone. A little later I decided to revive it and get the screen fixed, I think at one point i had it working but that was a couple years ago. I think I might have rooted it, then at some point put it back to normal but I cant remember. I do not remember what version I have on it or if I did take the 4.3 with the locked bootloader. I have tried all the tricks out there I can find, including trying to get Kies to see it and do a recovery and also using Odin 3.10 with the .pit and root 66 vzw stock. All I get after using Odin is a reboot, the samsung logo then black screen. I can not seem to get recovery to open, just Odin which shows

So I just got my second replacement device. The first was acting goofy. I just dropped the second one and cracked the screen...thank god for the one time free screen fix...which is actually just a replacement device mailed to you. The current (cracked screen one) is modded. I have been finding my device doing random reboots or getting laggy.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Correct. I've read reports of people getting 5.1 replacements from Verizon as well. Jcase and beaups are supposedly working on updating Sunshine (bootloader unlocker) to support the Turbo, but there hasn't been any news on that in a while. Also, Sunshine needs root access to work, so it wouldn't work on 5.1 unless they also released a new root method. That's the current state of things as far as I know.
