[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bunky011:
I finally figured it out without that stupid Software Repair Assistant. On sammobile.com, go to 'firmware' and type in 'Note 4'. Go to the SM-N910V for the VZW model. There you will get the last 5 firmwares. Download the 5.0.1 BOG5 since thats the most current 1. You need an account on there. Just make a fake username and password but use a real email since thats how you finish activating the account. Theres a pay option to download the 2.1GB file at fast speeds, or you can use the free account and download at the super slow speeds. I used the free account and it took about 2-2.5hrs. After that, just unzip the files and use Odin. I used Odin3_v3.10.6. Device successfully powered on and I still had all my info on there after about 10 days softbricked. Share your success story to let others know this is legit. Good luck..BTW, the 4.4.4 firmware is there too if youre trying to root. So if youre feeling brave, go for it and let us know..I couldnt figure out how to add attachments on here so please repost this with one to make this more convenient for others..

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentonite:
Hey guys,

I just rooted yesterday (G900T..FOG) using the TrapKernel method and everything is working just fine. Today I got a prompt for a new security update (FOJ). I haven't installed it yet and was curious -- if I do, will that remove my root? I'm assuming yes. Say I do install it -- is there anything I can do to get back my root aside from downgrading and re-applying TrapKernel?

Secondly, would I be able to flash a rooted FOJ ROM over the top of my FOG and still keep my root or will the update from J to G ? What steps would I need to do to accomplish this other than find the ROM and flash & wipe cache/davlik. Would I be able to dirty flash this or would a full wipe be required?

Last question (for now), if I choose to flash a CM ROM like Fusion would that keep my root as well? Again, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes I just don't want to make bad things happen that could be avoided.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean89us:
1. if you take the OTA, root will be lost. You will have to downgrade, root, then upgrade using a prerooted rom to get it back.

2. Prerooted stock ROMs are the way to go. Just download Muniz_ri's prerooted stock OJ4 rom and flash it, you'll update to OJ4 and keep root.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/how-to-update-to-g900tof6-5-1-1-pc-t3141404

Straight from that page:

The ROM will wipe itself, you'll need to back up your stuff before the update.

3. The vast majority of custom ROMs are prerooted. Cyanogen based ones require you to enable root in the developer settings, FYI

Hi

I know it's a REALLY general question...

But I am in the market for a new WM phone. Have been happily using the Wizard, recently upgraded to WM6, for the last year and a half. It seems a little bulky by today's standards.

I was considering a smartphone with no touchscreen but with a qwerty keyboard. Or maybe something like the new Ipaq 514. Ideally it would have WM6, or the ability to flash to a stable ROM of WM6.

I was wondering if someone could make some general comments on moving away from touchscreen, including any specific praise or criticism of particular models?

Or perhaps there is a PDA phone out there with touchscreen, Wifi, WM6, and dedicated keyboard that is much smaller and sexier than the Wizard?

Any general comments would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can anyone help me with this issue...It started when my phone was suddenly restarted by itself and couldnt read my simcard. At first, i tried reboot it and luckily my phone can read the simcard. But after i remove my battery the problem came back and simcard cannot be read anymore. I tried other phone, my simcard is just fine. And i realized that my phone imei Null and baseband unknown.... I read the other thread that have the same issue (solved), i follow his step, flash stock firmware, re-partition the phone, Nand Erase All, and clear the EFS. At last, my problem solved. But, when i changed the battery, my phone will be back to imei null. I fix my phone like before, my phone was good again. But now, it is still imei null even though I follow the same step as before... What should I do? :( Please help...

At first i thought it happen because maybe i updated some of Samsung Apps that can cause this issue...But is it possible its because of the batteries? Both my batteries are original...

Hello.

So recently i bought samsung galaxy s6. My first android and Samsung phone!

Issue i am facing is that front camera is not as smooth as iphones front cam , it lags by lag i mean when you move your camera around it feels laggy not very smooth specially in low light it lags frame rate drops to teens.

But wierd thing is camera works fine in video mode or if i add any effects it becomes smooth .

Guys am worried . Is it my phone fault or it was supposed to be like that?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batuzai04123:
S6 Front camera slows down drastically at low light conditions. Maybe its normal for most of S6 users here.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
Are you having the same issue ?

Camera lags havily in low light . But when you take video its fine though the quality gets darker.

And if you add effects like vintage it becomes smooth in low light also.

Are you sure its not me and my phone fault ? I was worried coz iphone front cam is pretty smooth.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batuzai04123:
Im pretty sure its normal.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

Video and cams are different. You should set aside your doubt with this since they do diff. things. Front cam is not as powerful as rear cam.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctechie:
Thanks I was worried actually .

Even though front camera gives good image in low light

Better than iphones. But lags make it disappointing.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Recently tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab S (I am not allowed to post links yet so I'll just say the site is techbeasts)

I believe I went through these instructions and followed them all precisely.

This method also installs SuperSU on my device..

However, I tried checking the root status with Root Checker, and it says "verification failed"

I then checked SuperSU, and it said something along the lines of "binary needs updating". I tried the "normal" method for doing this twice, but it didn't seem to work. There is an option presented in SuperSU to do this through TWRM or CWM, so I tried that option. ( NOTE I do NOT have TWRM or CWM installed)

**Then when I started the tablet, a whole bunch of messages came up saying "unfortunately, ____ stopped" [/B]and a whole bunch of these are there.

I'm sure this is a crash....

**

I managed to get the tablet back to semi-working state by using the factory reset from the recovery partition (it's the stock recovery partition). However, the crash-on-reboot problem still persists.

Any help on getting back to working state? I can use the tablet but I cannot restart it as it will crash again (have had to do the factory reset from recovery twice now...)

I should mention that i am trying to:

1) have a rooted tablet

2) Not have these crash-on-reboot issues...

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alta1r:
Best would be to flash your firmware again with Odin. You can download your firmware on sammobile (see link below).

You will need Odin for this, the correct drivers on your pc and to have USB Debugging on (under Developer options in Settings).

Unzip the firmware you downloaded and put it in PDA or AP in Odin, connect your tablet in download mode (power + home + volume down , afterwards volume up to 'continue') and click start.

Go to TWRP website, search for Tab S 10.5 and download the latest TWRP (tar-file).

Download supersu.zip as well (see link below, you can download 2.46 or 2.49 beta) and put it on the tablet or external sd card.

When this is done and your tablet rebooted (can take a while), reboot in download mode, open Odin again and add the twrp-tar you downloaded before (same PDA or AP).

Tablet should reboot as well after that. To enter recovery mode press home button + power button + volume up. This should bring you in TWRP recover. Flash the supersu.zip you downloaded before, reboot and you should have root.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T800/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Note: should the tablet reboot in stock recovery after you flashed the TWRP-recovery. Go to download mode again, fire up Odin but uncheck 'Auto Reboot' and flash TWRP-tar again. Once it's done, hold power + home + volume down, you will get to the screen again where it says volume up to continue volume down to cancel and reboot. Choose volume down but quickly press power + home + volume up until the screen turns on again. That should take you straight to TWRP recovery. You can flash supersu.zip and TWRP recovery should stick now.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Wow, how to massively over complicate something. :confused:

Just install the stock firmware, then look for my build of cf_autoroot in the dev section, flash in ODIN. Done.

If you want to upgrade twrp to the latest version you will find it in the dev section too. This version fixes some of the issues with the official version and has more options.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Hi guys,

TThanks so much for your replies! Complicated or not, anything helps...

I had previously used Odin to flash the rooted firmware to the tablet, so I amn faniline with the software.

Alta1r: looked at the links and it looks like sprue stock firmware. A couple of questions about this procedure:

1) Is it normal that the stock firmware file (as downloaded) is larger than firmware images used to root the tablet?

2) Would using TWRP to flash Supersu onto the tablet root the tablet, even if the stock firmware is installed?

Thanks again guys!!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alta1r:
Not sure what you mean with firmware images to root the tablet. Do you mean a custom rom? Those should be smaller in size yes, as the are usually de bloated.

Maybe you flashed a wrong version if a custom rom for your tablet before, that would give you problems when flashed.

Both my or ashyx's method can be applied on a stock rom. I'm running just stock with root.

[MENTION=3248136]Asyn[/MENTION]x: I flashed the latest firmware on my T800 this week and twrp didn't stick after the first boot. Tried many versions, also the one you mention in the dev section, but to no avail. Even replaced the recovery in the samsung's tar file and flashed it like that: twrp screen showed up right after the flash, but on next boit it was stock again. Only way to make it stick was to reboot into recovery right after flashing it.

Never had that problem before though on the Tab S (did have it already once on Galaxy S6).

Edit: forgot to mention I hadn't seen there was cf-auto root available for our current firmware. If I knew it would have saved me some time. Could have flashed the recovery with Flashify afterwards. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Apologies I am still getting used to the lingo with this stuff

Have done some stuff with Linux and some tweaking in Windows as well, so figured this shouldn't be too bad...

[MENTION=1749917]Alta1r[/MENTION]: so the process you describe is what you said, flashing the stock ROM and then root it afterwards...

Will try this process and report results here

(aside: I think the tablet was working fine after flashing with CF autoroot ROM -- is that the right word? -- what I think ruined it was when I told Supersu to try updating its binary through TWRP or CWM....which isn't yet on my tablet)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It seems since lollipop this has to be done if flashing over stock recovery or it will be replaced at boot with stock.

Twrp will patch the recovery install script at first boot.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Sooooo...

First off, thanks for the "luck wishing" :)

I decided to try the method of [MENTION=1749917]Alta1r[/MENTION].

[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] - I tried the CF-autoroot thing before (this was first attempt at getting a rooted tablet), and this didn't work for me. So I wanted something a bit more "hands on".

This is procedure I followed and worked for me (as of this post):

1) Before I began, I accidentally went into recovery mode instead of download mode. So I had to restart the tablet *gulp*

....yet I was able to restart just fine (no crashed as mentioned in my first post). I think this ~might~ have something to do with the fact that I downgraded the version of supersu that was "updated" through Google Play, but I'm not really sure...

2) Downloaded all relevant files.

3) Flashed firmware for tablet as instructed:

Result was that tablet booted just fine!

Made sure that a few apps worked OK, and also rebooted the tablet a few times to make sure it was stable

(this is a linux based system, not Windows, but I still like reboot tests for stability checking...)

4) Next I did the TWRP flash through Odin:

TWRP flashed fine. But then....

5) Tried to boot into TWRP recovery:

As predicted, Alta1r, the TWRP didn't flash properly. I got an error on the stock recovery saying:

"Error message is "E:ensure_path_unmounted failed to unmount /efs (Device or resource busy)"

So I tried your odin + reboot trick as above, and this booted into TWRP recovery.

6) Then I flashed supersu.zip (had kept on microSD card that is in tablet).

Andddddd.....

Root checkers says all good ;):D:):o

Thanks so much for the help guys. I wrote the procedure above for anyone else who attempt this method!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alta1r:
Glad to hear all went well, and by the looks of it had fun doing it. :p
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Although computer/device problems can get me agitated, I still have fun in the end ;)

Not sure if I can ask this here, but two other slight issues after the rooting:

1) Upon rebooting the tablet, I always get the message "android is upgrading", even if I didn't touch any apps through Titanium Backup or other root-only apps that are meant to remove pre-installed applications.

Is this an issue? And if so, is there a way to get rid of this?

2) I am able to uninstall/remove apps with Titanium Backup (freezing them isn't possible without the paid version of the app), but I am not able to restore them. I made a full backup before I started to uninstall stuff. I put on USB debugging mode in developer options, but still I cannot put apps back. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again!

Bharat
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I wouldn't worry about the upgrading message, most get that.

AFAIK TB requires a kernel that can be set permissive to fully function.

If you want the ability to remove and restore apps use system app remover (root)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Okay thanks, I will not worry about that upgrading message for now...

Is there a way to set this up? Even System App Remover does not let me reinstall stuff...

(I don't plan to ever use any of the apps I am removing, but I would like this feature for "sanity" purposes...)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Are you sure you have full root?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Yes I am sure I have full root.

I used root checker to check if I have full root access and it comes back green (to say root access is good).

(Just checked again now before posting this...)

Using either Titanium Backup and Root App Deleter, I am unable to restore deleted apps...

I have enabled USB debugging in the developer tools, as instructed to by Titanium Backup....

I read something about the "mount namespace separation" in supersu, I might try to toggle that option to see if it helps this situation.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Root app deleter? Is that system app remover?

Also what is the error when you try to restore with it?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
App is called System App Remover

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en

It tries to restore the app, and after about half a second it just says "try again if it fails" with a "yes" button to be selected...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
That doesn't mean it doesnt restore. It says that every time iirc. Check in system apps to see if it restores.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquared938:
Okay I'm just going to say exact issue...

I deleted calendar storage, thinking that it's part of Samsung's calendar app (when in fact it is used by all calendar apps).

So now Google Calendar doesn't show me my calendar....and I'm trying to restore calendar storage, but it's not restoring

(had previously deleted through System App Remover, but now can't get it back)

Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Calendar, and that seemed to bring back my calendar.....

Sorry to cause you this trouble, I guess I panicked too early...

But will still be careful of what I remove...

The software update from LG is not fast but they are very committed. You need to wait 4-5months to get latest update but still good. But no one can guarantee it will be upgraded to Android M.

Far more important than default "white" screen color temp is whether it's even or has red/pink localized. Yours looks even so I'd call it acceptable. If the 6P is like the Nexus 6 then color temp will soon be changeable with Kernel Adiutor and a custom kernel.

If you RMA you'll risk getting a lesser device.
