:(

Hi, I tried to do this to downgrade mi N900. I followed every step, everything work fine (supposed).

After I flashed the moded 4.3 firm (without sboot) my phone died, first time boot show something about a kernel error :(

Now I can't go into download mode or recovery mode.... It just says "Samsung note 3" and reboots 2 o 3 times and thats all. It doesn't even show that the battery is charging...

The steps i did ->

Downloaded Firm from sammobile -> SM-N900_XFU_1_20131129160104_fifz3b44bv

Downloaded 7 ZIP

Downloaded Bootloader.tar (From the post)

Flashed Bootloader.tar -> OK

Open firm with 7 zip, erased sboot.bin -> recompress to tar -> OK

Flashed recompressed TAR without sboot.bin -> OK

Firts boot -> Black screen with red letters saying something about a Kernel Error

Second boot -> Shows "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" (like usual) reboot, shows the samething again and reboot and then power off

I tried to go into recovery mode -> FAIL

Tried to go into download mode -> FAIL

Can anyone here help me ? :(

I want to ask a question about installing CM on a Samsung Galaxy Light SGH T399. However, the "Custom ROM Central" forum's "New Thread" button requires me to specify one of several custom ROMs to which my question pertains, none of which is CM. So there doesn't seem to be any place for me to ask this question. What do I do? o.O

Hi, is it possible to connect Windows 10 Mobile to NAS?

Also, does it have photosphere?

Being able to connect to NAS is a must. I need to get a new phone and I want to know if Windows phone is right for me but I don't have a Windows phone so I can't test it out. If Windows 10 Mobile can do it then I will wait for Windows 10 Phone come out before buying.

Thank you.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillyundead:
After this update this phone has gotten so much worse. I need help with this.

1. GPS constantly puts me on the other side of Philadelphia, no matter where I am and what GPS mode I'm in. If I manually refresh it it puts me in the right spot.

2. Massive battery drain, even in safe mode.

3. Charging time almost doubled unless powered down or ultra power save mode

4 Bluetooth very buggy. When playing music on Bluetooth devices, even of right next to it.

5. Very, very laggy. Even in safe mode. Even after factory reset.

6. A long list of apps don't work. A few examples: Mortal Kombat X, facebook, fb messaged, twitter, go SMS pro, TouchPal and more.

I don't know what to do. I'm stuck with this phone on the next plan. They've already replaced it once with refurbished device and once with a brand new device.

Considering they were charging $950 for this thing, why does it have so many issues? The bloatware is insane on AT&T too. All 3 of the note edges on my plan are doing the same things too.

Anyone have any suggestions? Should I just give up hope for this "premium" device and move on? Any tricks I can use to make it a little better without rooting?

AT&T has severely disappointed me with their ridiculous amount of bloat and making it so hard to root. I paid 950 bucks for this thing and can't even root it to make it run how it should be out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] Maury000:
My at&t phone was unlocked and rooted when I got it, but it was lacking the last 6 updates, including lollipop, so I unrooted it to bring it up to date (5.0.1). Now I want to root it again, but haven't found any viable way to do it so far.

I tried Framaroot Plus, but that was a bust, and I had to uninstall it or my phone would personally take me out!! :eek:

I have read about people going back to KitKat, and I'm beginning to think I may do that, providing I can find out how, or perhaps someone out there knows how to root this phone and can show me?? ~Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Go to GalaxyS4Root.com, Zedomax has the rooting methods for all the S4 models and all the builds they come with, if you don't see a method for yours then there probably isn't one.
[General Questions and Answers] Maury000:
Thanks for the reference. Zedomax shows many ways to root the S4 back from 2013 and 2014, but I couldn't find one that would root the SGH-i337 5.0.1. BTW, I suppose I should have mentioned that I have a MAC. I've posted my question on his website. Meanwhile, is there anyone else out there who might be able to help?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I've looked this up before for other members but I don't recall finding anything that will root the 5.0.1 build for your model. You can look into whether or not your device is safe to downgrade to older stock firmware(one that is root able) and then root.
[General Questions and Answers] Maury000:
Thanks again. That settles it; I'll downgrade. The only thing is that I have no idea how to find out whether my device is safe to downgrade to older stock firmware that is root able, Can you point me in the right direction?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You would need to go to the i337 forum here at XDA and ask other members that have your device, if anyone can tell you, you'll find it there.
[General Questions and Answers] Maury000:
Finding my way around on this website is usually laborious and confusing. I did find out about "J0din3" for mac, but that was a bust and a great waste of time, because it's too old and now it's undownloadable. So I tried the latest Wine Bottler; it works with el Capitan OSX (what I'm using on the mac) and was able to get Odin to work. However, it's not recognizing my phone, otherwise, I'd be done by now. Have you ever worked with Wine? Can you tell me how I can get the Odin to recognize my phone? Did I do something out of sequence?

And a separate question for xda-dev at large: Why doesn't xda-dev eliminate all the outdated, old, and useless information that rattles around here like satellite debris and gets a lot of people off on the wrong foot?!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sorry, I won't be of any help with Mac and my knowledge of linux is less than rudimentary, never used Wine, I use windows when windows apps are needed.

The old stuff still has useful info that still applies I guess, I've never checked XDA-Dev out, I'm not that deep in it yet. I'm working in other areas. Try posting your issues with getting recognized in this link:

Pls port lollipop battery saver app for KitKat 4.4.2 or assist me to port lollipop apps for KitKat. Pls help me
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

A quick search for that app leads me to believe that it takes advantage of LP's power saving features built into the firmware. Not exactly fair to assume those features would be in the KitKat version (99% sure they won't). Sorry.

But for porting "down" other apps, you may want to post your questions here:

> App Development Forums > Coding Discussion, Q&A, and Educational Resources > Java for Android App Development

It doesn't look easy, as when you set up a new app in Eclipse, one of the first things it asks is how far back the compatibility should go. The further back, the fewer features will be available. So some (if not many/all) apps will require a complete rewrite.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
[Verizon LG G4] Maduro78:
It's killing my battery just as much as the screen is. Android os is always the 3rd culprit. I've tried uninstalling Google services erasing cache reinstalling then rebooting, that did nothing. I tried keeping GPS on in battery saver mode that helped but halfway thru the cycle it started back up again. I'm not gonna bother calling vzw because of course they'll act like they've never heard of the issue before and just tell me to do a factory reset which I've done. Oh yeah this phone is a replacement my old one died last week and also suffered from this issue also
[Verizon LG G4] nst6563:
Do you have an SD card in it? Try backing up the data and formatting it with the phone. See if that resolves it. I had insane battery drain issues on my phone, ended up removing the sd card altogether and haven't had any battery drain issues since.
[Verizon LG G4] konradsa:
The only way to really see what is going on is to use an app like GSAM battery monitor to analyze what is draining your battery. You will get much better insight when you root. I was able to identify apps that drain my system, and then either uninstall them or greenify them. For instance, I noticed that the MyFIOS app drains battery like crazy, uninstalled it. I have a Polar watch, and the companion app drains battery, so I greenified it. Also, turn off all the background synching, scanning, location etc, that helps quite a bit.

Update LMY48T really messed up my phone so I reverted back to LMY48M via a TWRP backup. There is a new security update being released soon, and I would like to give it another try. Do the factory image security updates include all previous updates as well, or does each one need to be installed in sucession and therfore would not work?
[General Questions and Answers] NikitoGR:
Alright folks! I got these http://www.orangedove.net/images/ims-1/354_cs-2.jpg (photo isn't mine) since 2007 and I love them, but the left speaker doesn't have any audio coming from it.

Here's how it goes.

Using the earphones jack, it's like connecting directly to the computer, because even with the speakers switched off, audio do comes from this jack.

My plain speakers work fine (L&R audio).

PC audio jack works fine (because as I said, when connecting something in the earphones jack, L&R do work fine).

But whatever I plug in the woofer (the speakers audio jack), the audio comes from the right side only. If I pull out a bit the jack from the woofer then the audio comes from both speakers but actually it's not stereo but mono with the right output, coming from both speakers.

I disassembled it:

http://imgur.com/a/8aMes

Now the thing is how to find a solution making the left speaker work again. The issue comes either from the woofer or the control panel. Sometimes when I push a bit the cables and the woofer, I get it working but for a limited time or until I move them again. I'm 90% sure that the issue resides in the woofer's audio jack. And it seems a bit tricky to replace it (never tried soldering etc).

Gosh, I wish I could change the title... Not working? Seriously? *doesn't work* should it be. Mod edit: Fixed that for you

Just got a security patch update today (11/2/15) from Verizon. About 24 MB. Froze the update as I'm stock rooted on 5.0.2 I may pull the trigger to see if I lose root. But before I do I wanted to see if anyone else received this update and can confirm if it may be the stagefright patch?

Doh! This should be in the VERIZON LG G2 forum. Apologies.

P.S. Thanks mods for moving this to the correct forum. :)

[Verizon LG G2] MightyT01:
Got the same error message. Can't seem to get the Software Upgrade Assistant to work either. Not in any rush. I may try a factory reset, try a clean update, and see if I can re-root this weekend if I have time.

[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
Got 3AA OTA update working - kept root

Being rooted doesn't block the update. The update script checks a large number of files already installed on the phone, and if they don't match what is expected to be there prior to the update, the script exits and throws the error message.

Since you're rooted, if you don't have one already you can download an install file explore than is root capable and can also mount your file system read/write (several out there).

Browse to the System folder (with Root access)

Open the cache folder

Open the fota folder within the cache folder

Open the log folder within the fota folder

Assuming you had the upgrade error, you'll find a log file there - I don't recall the exact name, and now that I had a successful update the file appears to have been deleted, but it was something to do with "fota" with a file extension of "log". Open the file (it's a readable text file) and scroll to the bottom. You'll see a number of lines that trace the script's examination of each of multiple files, verifying that the right version is in place. In my case, "install-recovery.sh" was the wrong size, causing the script to abort with an error code -- with the update failing.

I did a bit of research, and learned that installing SuperSU (which is excellent) also caused the original install-recovery script to be backed up and replaced by a modified version. If you started by installing a current version of SuperSU, I believe the backed up version of the install-recovery script is still there and an uninstall of SuperSU (via it's own internal menu) will cause the original copy of install-recovery.sh to be replaced.

In my case, I didn't want to give up root - so instead of uninstalling SuperSU, I dug around a bit (don't remember if it was in system\etc or system\bin) and found "install-recovery_original.sh" -- which is the backup that SuperSU had created for me on installation. I backed up "install-recovery.sh" from the system\bin (just renamed it, actually) and dropped in a copy of the "install-recovery_original.sh" file and renamed it to "install-recovery.sh". BTW - I noted the the OEM file was something like 649 bytes, while the SuperSU version was 629 bytes (I think -- all from memory now).

Once I had the original file back in place, the OTA update worked just fine. I also checked: it's now running:

Software version: VS9803AA (Android 5.0.2)

Build number: LRX22G

Baseband version: VS9803AA-MPSS.DI.2.0.c2-00081-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

Kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-ga038154

Using Root Checker Pro after all this, I verified that I still have root, and busybox is still happily installed. No need to re-root the phone doing it this way. The OTA apparently does NOT unroot the phone.

If you're getting an error running the OTA (I think it was 11110004), that suggests that the install script ran into a non-OEM file (size or CRC didn't match). If you have the patience to find the log file and look at the bottom 10 or 15 lines, you can likely figure out which file it's choking on, and possibly figure out how to get the original / OEM file back in its place, after which the OTA will work.

[Verizon LG G2] superchaos:
Thank you JonStrong!! Worked like a charm and no more nag! Much appreciated.

Do I need to go back to the "install-recovery.sh" I originally renamed?
[Verizon LG G2] tedyun:
In my case SuperSU notified me (after update was successful and rebooted) to update its binary, and it automatically replaced install-recovery.sh during the process.
[Verizon LG G2] BolderBoulder:
Thanks, that worked, but I screwed up. I did the rename, but I forgot to save a copy of the 649 byte version of the file. So when SuperSU updated its binary, it wiped out the file and I can't find where it backed it up (if it did.) Is there some way to get a copy of that for next time?

Hi,

Has anyone been using the hotspot provision fix/back with the new VS9803AA update? I successfully upgraded (brand new phone) then successfully rooted (using the LG One-click method). However, I think I messed up the hotspot mod. Now when I try to turn on Mobile Hotspot, it slides to "on" but nothing really happens (I don't get the antenna icon in the upper left status bar like usual) and I can slide the switch to "off." Hotspot Settings and everything can be accessed though.

Any ideas? Did I just screw up the file replacement?

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baymon:
Coming from Samsung here, so this feature is very new for me.

Does the knock to wake feature work if you're set on pattern lock? Or does it only work when you have knock code set as your security?

Reason I ask is because I initially had the knock code set as security, then changed to pattern after I set Android Pay. BUT, knock to wake has been working for me the past two days (even with the pattern lock ON)...until 2 hours ago.

Now the only way I can knock wake the device (or even access the second screen) is either to set the security as Knock Code, or press the power button.

Is this behavior normal? I found it weird that the second screen is untouchable with the pattern lock ON.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
Knock On will work everytime regardless of your lock screen setting (double tap on the center of the screen to wake device up into lock screen).

Knock Code, however, need to be set to unlock your device, the pattern is of your choice.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knifedroid:
Android Pay doesn't accept a knock code as a security measure. I was using it, then was forced to switch to pin after setting up Pay.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baymon:
ok so correct me if I'm wrong: regardless of your security settings, KNOCK ON will work to wake the device up. Yes?

In that case, something has gone wrong with mine as I can only do knock on when Knock Code is set. Even worse, the second screen shortcuts are only accessible in that mode as well.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastarpete:
I think I just encountered a similar if not the same problem but I'm not sure if it's an app or if it coincides with something I accidentally tapped in the hidden menu last night.

I had been using pattern unlock since I got the phone on friday and double tap to wake the screen was working fine along side fingerprint unlock, now double tapping doesn't work and the second screen does not respond when locked.

EDIT: I just tried knock pattern and it allowed me to wake the screen but the moment I switched back to pattern it stopped responding to screen wake tapping.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baymon:
sorry to hear about that, seems like you have exactly what I had. Knock on just stopped working out of nowhere.

Good news is, I did a factory reset and it fixed the issue. Albeit, without access to Titanium Backup, it's quite a chore right now to redo all of my setups. Trying LG Backup now just in case.

Give factory reset a try and hopefully it'll solve your issue as well.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastarpete:

I think [MENTION=4725605]knifedroid[/MENTION] had the answer. AndroidPay doesn't allow you to use knock. I have the same issue as well...well i guess it's not an issue...it's a feature.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baymon:
Knock Code is a security method, Knock On is a feature that LG implemented at kernel level to wake up/turn off the device. The issue that we've been having is with the Knock On not functioning anymore.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastarpete:
Long story short the reset restored Knock On (wake).

Long version, I gave the LG Bridge software a shot to do a backup to the PC.

It let me backup just about everything including apps and data, including Humblebundle apps and stock homescreen layouts, so it's probably as close to tatanium as you ca get.

I Haven't gone through updates yet but so far Knock On is still working after a restore, I'll edit if that changes. *crossing fingers*
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joachim123:
oh man I'm glad i came to peek this section for this, as i feel like i tapped something wrong in the hidden menu as well. i might wait a little bit to do a reset and see if someone finds out a way to keep the KnockON thing running when screen is off.

hey someone on another thread said that deleting all the fingerprints solved his Knock ON issues. Can you try this out?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakraider:
Just tried it, no luck. Both knock on and off are still not working.

The issue started for me last night after going to the hidden menu and enabling Fast Dormancy. Disabling it again doesn't help. I guess just avoid the hidden menu is the takeaway here.
