[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erzketzer:
Heyo, same here.

Installed 2.1.2 and my google camera still dies after 2-3 Panorama pics (not yet stitched together pics) and yes, I tried reinstalling google camera...

After 3+ pics, it acts as if it takes the 4th pic, but actually freezes and the whole shot is for naught.

Frustration on: damn, sooooo many problems with this phone. Camrea, heat, crashes, no vpn, etc. and most of all, no ROM community to try other roms as a solution. No Cyanogenmod. Frustration off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Dear Benevolent Android Wizards: please help me root an AT&T S4! I plan to buy a used S4 and want to make sure it can be rooted. Are some firmware versions rootable and some not? If so, which ones? I've seen phones available running I337UCUFNB1 and NJ4, as an example. I tried to check the forums here, but I'm new to this and it's too confusing. Also, as time passes, some of the comments become dated and wrong. One forums here say to downgrade NC1 by flashing NB1, take OTA update to NC1, then OTA to NL1- but I don't know if these OTAs are still available, for example. I'm simple and hope someone can explain things in a simple way! I don't want custom ROMs, just to root and maybe make backups. Please help, O Wise Ones!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
You will probably buy a phone with at least 4.4.2 or above. It can be rooted by flashing the NB1 firmware (if it is not already on NB1), flashing the NC1 kernel and rooting with Towelroot. Then you can upgrade to 4.4.4 or 5.0.1, depending on what you want. You can install Safestrap to do backups on KitKat or Flashfire to do backups on Lolipop.

Here is a good place to start reading. Contains all info and links you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Thanks a lot!

So you're saying that any S4 running 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 should be able to be rooted?

And I would use Odin to flash NB1 firmware and then NC1 kernel (also using Odin?), then Towelroot would work?

How do I get the phone back to the firmware and kernel it came with?- also with Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
Yes. Or 5.0.1 for that matter.

You can root phones with earlier versions of the firmware as well.

All the instructions you need are available in the thread I linked above. You probably don't want to go back to what firmware came on the phone. You will need to decide if you want KitKat, in which case you should flash the latest one, which is NJ5, or Lolipop, in which case you will have some decisions to make as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Thanks, I will definitely read that whole thread once I get a chance.

Isn't there some issue with changing firmware where the software changes how the phone interfaces with the cell and wifi radios and they don't work right after you change version? Don't you have to do something to make sure the ROM and radio software stay in sync? Or isn't that an issue when changing stock ROMs with Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
Shouldn't be an issue. The stock firmware includes the corresponding modem, but the modems are interchangeable and can be flashed separately. There is a thread dedicated to modems in the general forum.

I would definitely recommend that you read enough to be comfortable with what you are going to do before you flash. There are several good threads in the general forum that you should familiarize yourself with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Thanks again. I read 10 pages of the thread you mentioned in your first reply:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642

Very helpful

Another question- you said to load NB1

firmware

on the phone, but also NC1

kernel

, apparently, NC1 is required for towelroot to work. Why not just load NC1 firmware- won't the NC1 kernel will come along? Is NB1 firmware specifically needed for some reason?

Or did you mean to keep upgrading from NB1to reach the final desired firmware, say NL1, then flash the NC1 kernel, root with towelroot, then flash the final desired (in my example, NL1)

kernel

.

Also, the first section in that link says if you want to end up on Lollipop OC3 or OC4, to root using Kingroot, but warns "there is mixed feeling about this application". Can't I root with towelroot instead to avoid Kingroot?

Sorry! As I learn more it brings up new questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
NB1 is the only full stock tar available. There is no full NC1 stock tar, or any other 4.4.2 or above stock tar. No matter which distribution you are on, 4.4.2 4.4.4 or 5.0.1, to go back to stock you have to flash NB1 with Odin.

If you want Lolipop, I would suggest that you root with towelroot, and then use the keep root method to go to OC4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
I'm trying to decide if I should update up to NJ5, OC3, or OC4. Any thoughts about advantages/disadvantages? Should I just update to the latest (OC4) for simplicity?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
I don't have an opinion between KitKat and Lolipop.

As far as OC3 or OC4, the OC4 update is just a bug fix update from OC3 that supposedly protects from at least part of the stagefright vulnerability. NJ5 is the same update with respect to JN4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
I'm making more progress on your thread- I'm up to page 20 now and feeling much more comfortable as I see how to deal with (or hopefully avoid) other's problems.

I think I'm almost ready to go, but I know I have one more question- I know that some versions of towelroot need internet access, but when you flash the NC1 kernel onto NB1, you lose wifi. I plan to do this on a phone that will not have data, at least at the beginning. I saw others talk about getting around this and they said they used an earlier version of towelroot that didn't need internet. Do you think that will work for me?

If I get a chance, I'll edit here and list the specific older version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shekinahsmoke:
squatting in this thread because I too have an s4 w/ ni1 bootloader (4.4.2) .. gonna check that thread out too ... (fist bumps [MENTION=6997974]xdafan15[/MENTION] .. me and u are the lone desperados)

got some good help too. check that thread about ALL THINGS ROOT in the general tab.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
I found the version of towelroot v3 that doesn't need internet access. It is referenced here in the first post.

File here
[MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION] or anyone else who knows: Is is OK to use this version to root instead of the normal version of towelroot 3 that needs internet access?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
Go ahead at try it. I don't actually have the S4, so I don't know from first hand experience, but it will either work or it won't. I expect it will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
I got a surprise- I bought a used S4 and when I checked it, found out it has 4.2.2, MDL- one of the rare ones that was never updated and still has the unlocked bootloader! So all of the work I've been doing was somewhat off target.

Now I guess I need to root 4.2.2 and flash a custom rom to get the phone updated. If I update with the stock firmware it'll lock the bootloader permanently.

I found instructions to root on the first post here "[HOW-TO] The ULTIMATE All-In-One Guide - I337M & MDL - MF3 - MK2"

Is that the correct method?

I wonder if I can just load towelroot and root that way?

Can anyone suggest an updated ROM (preferably one that has been patched against stagefright)?

Do I also flash this phone using Odin? And does the firmware always go in the "AP" slot?

Sorry, I'm trying to learn this and I thought I'd be using the locked bootloader method in the 2nd post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Reinaldo33897:
MDL oh don't let that bad boy ever update. You can root and unroot as often as you like.

Can you please help me understand what to do? I have a Samsung Galaxy s4 with AT&T that I switched to Straight Talk. I need to know how to root this phone but this forum is very confusing and outdated. Plz help me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Hi, [MENTION=7102992]Tmtd78[/MENTION]. The S4 is getting pretty old now so this forum is pretty quiet. What version of android does your phone have? Under *Settings*, *About device*, what are the last 3 characters under *Build number*? I think every version of android on this phone can be rooted, but you will have to spend some time here to learn how everything works. Did you read the posts linked earlier by [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION]? Read the first and last 10 or 20 pages of each thread of interest and you will get the idea. The method you use will depend on the firmware your phone has. If it has the mdl or mdb bootloader, you probably will want to make sure the firmware doesn't update.

By the way, to [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3973489]engloa[/MENTION], thanks for your help. I was able to learn how to successfully root my S4, load a custom recovery, make backups, load a custom ROM, and make some tweaks to the kernel. Everything is running well now.

It was a long road, but everything was here on XDA and I appreciate your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tmtd78:
[MENTION=6997974]xdafan15[/MENTION], the build number is NI1. And I will definitely read the posts. I really appreciate you getting back with me so fast. I'm just scared I'm going to mess something up lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdafan15:
Sure thing. I'm not an expert, just a beginner, but I have learned a few things along the way. The NI1 bootloader is locked so you will need to follow the instructions for using Odin under the first post shown above by [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION] (here). Also, read this one. Also, this.

As long as you are 1) careful to not load code incompatible with an AT&T S4 onto your device and 2) follow instructions EXACTLY you should be fine. Be wary of following instructions listed on a forum that is not specific to the AT&T S4. Don't get sloppy and try to do stuff from memory- read and follow the instructions step by step. The good news is as long as you don't cause as few specific types of problems with your storage, I think you'll be able to Odin back to the NB1 firmware and start over.

Learn how to and practice booting your phone into download and recovery modes.

Get Odin running on your computer and see if it will recognize your device. A guide here. I think .tar or .tar.md5 files always go in the *AP* slot if memory serves. You may also see references to an older version of Odin where the *AP* slot was called *PDA*

So the predicted Meizu M2 Note metal is most likely the Meizu Blue Charm, as a new set of photos have surfaced. Click on the link below to see the pics.

http://www.mobiletechasia.com/?p=1834

The photos indicate a metal unibody design with the same bright colours as it's plastic counterparts found on the Meizu Note series. However, full metal phones traditionally have problems with reception and we will have to see how Meizu deals with that.

While not obvious, the name "Blue Charm" points towards a budget device. Check out the expected specs below:

5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD

MTK6795 Helio X10 Processor

2GB of RAM and 16GB storage

Dual SIM, microSD

13MP Camera

8.2mm thick

No word on the battery yet

The new phablet will most-likely be unveiled on October 21 which many chinese outlets have been invited to. If you are a Meizu M1/2 Note owner, how do you feel? Or if you just bought an MX5? Let us know in the comments below!

i think you need USPL and extract the files to your hd, then

copy this nbh file into the uspl folder and start uspl...

I think this is an image to flash from sdcard (because of the name),

but imho it should work when you use uspl.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fdp24:
nbh file is installed with original/standard flashing utility for your device.

if you have nbh which represents original ROM for your device, then you can copy it to sd card with name ARTEIMG.NBH, reset the device into bootloader, it will flash.

however flashing from sd card only works with original/shipped ROM for your device.

https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=SM-T116bu+return+to+stock

one small tip for future reference.

you should figure out how to fix your phone and have the tools and files on hand before making any modifications.

personally, i never do anything to my phone before thoroughly learning how to fix it, and if i cant find a way, then i dont mod it.

i see all the time on here, people frantic because they broke their phone and dont have a clue how to fix it.

in some cases there is no way to fix it because the files are not available, its really important to know that before you break it.
[General Questions and Answers] Stanwar:

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i never implied that you or anyone else wasnt "smart or intelligent"

i have broken my phones many times. the difference between me and a lot of users i see posting here is, i think about what would happen if i do something and it breaks the phone, before i actually do it. then i go and find out how to restore stock, and gather the files and tools first. then i actually restore stock, just so im sure i know how to do it first.

i see and help countless users here on xda, and frequently see people run to flash things they think they have to have right away. frequently that is followed by post pleading for help, because they failed to understand the journey, and chose to jump right to the finish line.

so yes, i agree, not breaking your phone doesnt make you smart or intelligent. knowing how to fix it, and helping others to fix theirs for many years, at minimum should gain those of us who help others a little respect, because we dont get paid to, nor have any obligation to, help anyone.
[General Questions and Answers] Stanwar:
How come? Posting a Google link is actually helping? Then next time someone asks who's that guy, you tell him Google it. I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.

Anyway I found a solution I will post it here in case someone needed it:

1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.

2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).

3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.

4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).

5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.
