S-OFF for brand

In this tutorial, you wrote:

This only works for "free" phones (unbranded) or if you have SuperCID

How do S-OFF on branded ROM and kernel rather k2ul kernel-3.4.10-g47d5073?

Despite upload k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1_stock_odexed_v3.zip through recovery, I still have the above-mentioned kernel version of the T-Mobile brand.

I tried Rumrunner (this is a newer version of Moonshine), but it does not work.I still have S-ON.

Any ideas for me?

Rumrunner should work on k2ul with 3.11.xxx software.

Did it myself some month ago on my One SV.

If you don't care to pay a few dollars, Sunshine app should give you S-off much easier.

Rumrunner could be nasty :D

There are maaany different things which can make it fail. For example internet connection (not blocked by antivirus/firewall), superuser permissions granted on the phone and many others i don't remember anymore. Try to read through the rumrunner threads or consider sunshine app (compatibility test is free of charge).
[HTC One SV] ze7zez:
Yes, I know that Rumrunner is bizarre.

For some people work, and others do not. -> [s-off[ rumrunner s-off

Sunshine confirmed the compatibility, but it does not mean anything.

The test is only a test - do not give a 100% guarantee of proper implementation.

In case of failure of s-off, is problematic refund 25$ and unbrick device.

For me it's too much cost and risk.

I bought occasionally k2ul second-hand for an amount much less than 25$.

That is why I am looking for economical solutions.

If I wanted to pay and make sure execution, it would go to the nearest service having the programmer hardware.

Hello XDA ..

i got my N4 for 4 months however

i want to root and install a rom .. :cowboy:

what do i know about this pretty much nothing .. :p

what i can think of root is a way to make u the developer of the phone so u can use it complelty

and rom is like a windows of the phone [ operating system ] so i wanted a rom to delte my stupid samsung apps that

make my ram full and drain my big battery in useless stuff .. :eek:

now after i did root my note 4 on 5.0.1 i was scared af ! but it worked :D didn't realy use it but in ads blocking :D

i wanted to download simplrom but i knew 5.1.1 is coming and then i updated to it via odin

now i can't root my 5.1.1 the easy way !! i want to root then update to the next 5.1.1 simplrom srs what da hell is BOOTLOADER and Kernel AND MODEM ! :rolleyes:

in googy max kernel that's so famous ,, u can use it via odin how ever

it says - CPU Voltage control (Deltas up to +/- 100 mV)

- CPU Clock control (A53: 200MHz -> 1800MHz / A57: 500MHz -> 2100 Mhz)

- GPU Voltage control (Deltas up to +/- 100 mV)

- GPU Clock control (266MHz -> 800MHz)

wait what !! is that an OVERCLOCK like in pc / wow in a massive number upgrade :silly:

my phone gets hot enough for me and i don't realy like to get it even much hotter ! ..

and the kernel does alot of other things ... including that i can't root without one BUT WAIT !

am a normal user that knows nothing but a normal phone how can i know if there is a bug of the kernel if i don't even know

what da hell is it !! same goes for modem i know nothing about it .. and bootloader ..

please help and explain the easy way as i'm not an english pro :D :cyclops:

it looks like the kernel is ssomething that controls the device performance but why wouldn't i use the stock one // :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
First, don't be confused with all the jargon/technical terms.

Just use the phone as usual & flash (not install) anything you need/want by following the instruction thoroughly.

Second, let me explain everything as simple as possible:

KERNEL is the core of any OS (Operating System).

It does anything the phone needs without you know it.

Without it your phone is kinda expensive paper weight but it is still recoverable as long as it has a BOOTLOADER.

A ROM is a collection of software + a KERNEL so that a user can make use of the hardware (the phone)

A BOOTLOADER is in charge to "wake up" your phone as soon as the power button is presses & then load anything needed for the phone to be functional.

Without it, your phone is a very expensive brick.

A MODEM is in charge to connect you to the network(s), specially to the phone network(s).

And yes you can over/downclock your phone using some custom KERNEL, but.....if you unfamiliar with it or any tech terms...DON'T DO IT! It can bring you an EXPENSIVE brick.

Just do what you usually do.

In the case of our Phone, the right term for putting a ROM inside the phone & similar processes is called FLASH(ING).

It is entirely different between FLASHING & INSTALLING.

INSTALLING an app/software has a minimum risk of ruining your phone without the chance to recover it again.

INSTALL process occurs in the "Read & Write" part of the storage

FLASHING on the other hand has a much higher risk as if you doing it the wrong way it will "destroy" your phone FOREVER without any chances of recovery.

FLASH process occurs in the "Read Only" part of the storage.

That's why you need to read all instruction carefully before doing any FLASHING.

I hope this explanation give you a better understanding about your phone.

....And yes, this section is not for Q&A. Next time post your thread in the correct section ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boody hegan:
Lol thx ..

I didn't get the oc part .. ao the kernel makes me able to oc not oc it itself ?

What happens if i change the modem .. and do i have to change it after flashing a rom ?

My modem is coi4 ..

When some guys flash a kernel sometimes they say they got bootloads ..

And finally do i need to change the bootloader as well after rom ?

Thx alot
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Some KERNEL has been OCed out of the box & some kernel hasn't.

Some of them can be OC & some of them can't.

No one knows if your phone will still works if you change the MODEM with incompatible one & only a fool does that.

Usually a STOCK ROM is a package of KERNEL,BOOTLOADER,ROM Softwares,RECOVERY & MODEM.

Custom ROMs on the other hand can remove or add some parts of it.

REMEMBER TO READ ALL INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU REGRET DOING FOOLISH THINGS!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boody hegan:
I'm starting to get it

So if the rom is the same modem as my phone

Then i don't have to flash one ?

How can i know if it's already oc'ed or not .. and which kernel do u recommend for an idiot like me ... i just want better battery performance and faster phone

And why some developers post boot loaders with their rom ... why would i change it

From atock anyway ? Much apreciated
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludoke:
Man,keep your phone as is,and read about things for 10 days or so !!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
The only answer for this question is READ & READ again.

Read everything & ask the ROM author if you have any questions about the ROM.

Hi all,

I'm seeing this strange thing. I have received a Qtek 2020, and I tried to use it with my sim (TIM, Italian Telecom) but I can't see network service, under any circumnstance. Then I swapped my sim card with a Vodafone IT one, and I've seen full signal immediately. Trying to change to another operator like Italian "Wind", took me just as the very 1st step: no signal at all. I tried to change radio rom/os rom, and running unlock tools (they said it's all unlocked). Nothing changed.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

It seems that works with the old ones as well as with the new ones (my sister has a 6-years-old card from Vodafone, and it WORKS!), but just from that vendor.

[XDA Assist] dominator7002:
Hello, after a good two weeks of frustration and a soft-bricked phone, I'm happy to say that I've finally managed to root my first phone, with huge thanks to various threads on here.

I now, however, have run into another problem. Firstly, I'm using an Xperia Z3V, Android version 4.4.4 w/ build 23.0.E.0.376. I've downloaded BusyBox, ROM manager, ROM Toolbox Lite, and Titanium Backup (all suggested from another thread here). What I'm trying to accomplish is setting up a recovery w/ CWM, but according to ROM manager, my phone isn't supported, nor can I update my ROM (which I'm assuming is because I'm on stock ROM).

How would I go about getting CWM? Would I need Cyanogen, or another ROM in general? Or is the Z3V currently just not supported? Is it necessary to have CWM if I, say, just plan on using my phone for normal activities (I.E., Facebook, YouTube, Emails, etc.). The only thing outside of normal use would be upgrading to Marshmallow.

Thank you, again, for the tremendous help.

If you have need for a selfie stick, this is the one to get!

It arrived well packaged and ready to use.

The first thing you will notice about it is it "feels" premium. It has a nice heft and balance to it.

The box it comes in has a scale on it to check your phone will fit. It fits all my devices perfectly.

The selfie stick can be used from about 10" long to 36" and anywhere between.

It securely locks in place with a twist and will not move.

The part that holds your phone has a strong spring to hold pressure on your device, it will NOT fall out.

There are softer rubber grips where your phone is held in place to prevent scratching of your device.

The device itself has a semi rubberized texture to it, it feels like it will not slip in your hand.

One thing I did not expect when I received this was the tripod mounting hole.

You can screw this onto the top of a tripod and use it to do timed shots or record video.

This is the best selfie stick I have ever had in my hands.

5/5 stars and it deserves every one.

But there is not the switcher button at windows after the new install. Needs to shut down the windows and get back to the Insyde Q2S start screen to choose android for boot, if i want to switch OS.

I've been interested in having skins on my phones, but I've never had a phone popular enough for companies to produce skins for them.

The HAM2 is no different, but I just found this carbon fiber-looking skin, which, as far as I can tell, is one of the few skins out there for the HAM2. Does anyone here have it, or experience with skins? Are they more protective than cases? Are they grippy or still slippery? I assume the "military grade" and "self-healing" stuff is utter BS? The case I have now is a Nillkin slim case.

Edit: Can't seem to get the link to work for some reason... just search "ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Huawei Ascend Mate 2"
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I have that installed on my ipad. Looks pretty cool and would protect from scratches. Does nothing to protect from drop damage etc. Its got some texture to it so it makes it easier to grip. Three year old is watching videos on it right now. When he's done I will post a pic of it.

Well there is a crappy pic for now. Lol I have never taken it off so I don't know of it leaves a mess on the device after removal. But it has taken more than its share of abuse and is still in tact. No holes or wear and tear. And that's after three years of use. Btw the dark spot you see is water.... As my son had spilled some on the table evidently.. Lol

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Use a hair dryer on it when you apply it. Makes it a little softer so it fits better. They ate really stiff. If ya don't heat it a little it will try to flatten out and pull off the edges. I pit few on HP touchpads a couple years ago. Was a pain to get it to lay down. Heat applied and it was smooth as butter.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I doubt any case will work if you use the shield. Its very thick. That's why the iPad and touchpad are not in cases. It adds a surprising amount of bulk. I know it will not work with the trident at all. Nor the gell cases. Matter of fact the trident case wouldn't even let it start to slide in. It's designed to be a stand alone protection. But there isn't any real use in putting this on then a case over the top of it anyway.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
If a clear TPU case fit, then you could still partially see the carbon fiber and reviewer on Amazon implied using with a case.

If you do get it and have a way of measuring the thickness of the skin, let us know. Otherwise measure case before/after skin :) .

From their website:

Can I use MilitaryShield on a device that fits within a case?

MilitaryShield is ultra-thin and measures under 1 mm thick. It should be compatible with most cases, but it's also possible that the combination will not fit. That's why we offer the case friendly version for our screen protectors, which is slightly smaller along the edges. Check with your case manufacturer for compatibility.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Not

Not many cases available for these ham2s. Used one on an iPhone and went through 7 cases before I could find one that fit. And it was a soft rubber one that would stretch. Crapola made.
