[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lh94:
I've already tried everything I can think of. Reinstall the ADB driver, change the USB cable driver. Nothing worked. Is there anything I can do to downgrade to 5.0.1 without bricking it?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Nope. Can't be done. (Well thus far at least) Definitely don't try using stock recovery as that does brick it.

It isn't 5.1.1 that's stopping that aspect of fastboot working though or no one would have gained anything from the 5.1.1 additions to the supertool.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
Hello,

I'd like to upgrade to something more current than my 4.3 JB. Only, I'm concerned with losing my apps data and phone data. I used Odin one click root with no data loss. Now I'm wondering how the heck do I upgrade. Do I have to unroot to a stock mj4 first, then upgrade either ota or by myself to the highest version or since I'm rooted and running on twrp, can I upgrade with the most current or at least NC5 4.4? All the while, not having to reinstall my apps like before or any data loss?

My applogies ahead of time on not knowing the correct terms or procedures on what direction is the correct one to take in steps.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
First you need to consider if you upgrade to NC5 or higher that installs Knox. Second has your trip counter been tripped to 1x0 ? You can root NC5 with Towel root and not trip Knox counter. But if upgrade higher than NC5 there is nothing that you root with that will not trip Knox counter. To save your data and apps you can attempt a "dirty flash" . This is done by finding a flash able version of NC5 in a zip file that you place on your sd card flash through twrp recovery, while in recovery you wipe caches and system, but not data.

However the odds of something being corrupted are high. The best way is to save all your data to your desktop and install back on the device after you are done flashing. Just click on rom flashing basics in my signature all info and links you need are there. Or you can find it on page 3 in General section.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
I've got knox on 4.3.. and it's tripped any how. I don't care about the warranty, it's two years old. Hasn't got any left. hahahah. I'm more concerned with having to redo all the settings, my apps, work apps detailed things I really don't want to reset if I can help it (more so I can't remember all of it). I'm not sure how they did it before under the "one click no data loss" root. Wish there was a concise method, centralized that specifially says, hey if you used this, and want to do it like this, this and this, to save date, you do this and presto. hahah.

To be honest, I'm not sure what direction to take to even begin with. I'm rooted and what's the best way to update from there. I read your page, but it doesn't tell me what to do from being already rooted standpoint. Also it starts off as if you're on 4.4.4. I'm still on 4.3 MJ4. lol

Real quick, you mentioned to wipe the cache and system but not data. For obvious reasons, but could you explain what the three portions contain, reason being so I can wrap my mind around it to better understand why this, but not that.

Thank you for your quick response. Hope I can do this today if I'm lucky to get it right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Ok so have a device that is rooted running mj4. To upgrade to 4.4.4 NC5 you need to find a copy of NC5 thats already rooted and in a flashable zip file. Than copy and paste the zip file to your sd card, and boot into your recovery. Now wipe cache, dalvik-cache, and system but do not wipe the data. This will install the new OS and keep your device rooted and save your data. This is commonly known as a dirty flash, most of the time it works. But sometimes it doesn't hence the term dirty flash.

The cache is a log of the OS running if there is an error or crash developers can review it and see what happened and fix it.

A dalvik-cache is data from your apps as they are loaded into the OS when they are opened or started up. The dalvik-cache stores this start up data that is repeated every time the application starts. Then uses it to make the app start up or open faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
Do you recommend any link for the file? And does it matter if I use a newer version, suppose it's a matter of finding it like you said?

I see many different types out there, trying to match to my phone and I see odex, dodex and different things, I'm not sure what to use. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Let see if I can find the right link for NC5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
I found this, but unsure if it's the correct one.

N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
That one is flashable with Odin only. It would work but it would take you back to bone stock NC5 with no root and you would lose all your data. Think of it as buying a new phone and starting from scratch. I found one to but the download link is broken. Most of the guys here have updated to OC5 5.1 of course l'm still running my 4.4.4 NK4 deodexed debloated rom it's smooth and bulletproof.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
ah, gotcha. I read also about battery life kind of sucking... How's yours running? Is there any benefit to updating higher? And, say I did 4.4.4, if I wanted to go up, would it be the same way, find a rooted flashable version and boot recovery?

Thank you for your help, really do appreciate when someone takes the time to help someone less knowledgeable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcflyer40t:
I've been searching but still haven't found one. Anything in particular you can recommend I add to my search? you're right, some of the links no longer work. Any luck on your end?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] peej4ygee:
Hey All,

I've recently been given a Galaxy Gear as a gift/freebie as they upgraded to the Apple Watch (UK Version, I'm in the USA), and me being me, figured I'd do what I do with all my phones, see if I can root, custom rom, etc.

I've done the research, learning about Android Vs Tizen and also the null_23 rom (which looks very appealing to be honest).

So, rooting and customizing most of phones, didn't think this would be a problem, but for the life of me, I can't get moving forwards on this, so before I brick it (as I've only had it 24 hours) I figured I'd turn to the knowledgeable :)

I have tried using ADB, I can boot it into download and recovery using that, I've tried using Odin 3.09 to install 'null_03_TWRP2.7.tar.md5' recovery, ready for the 'null_ 23.zip' rom, but, the only way into 'download' mode is from ADB, if I try the 'rebooting' then 6 power button presses and choose 'download' it just reboots into the gear, not download. So I then I read up somewhere that it needed to be rooted, so I tried to use 'Impactor_0.9.14.zip' to do that, even following the instructions, didn't seem to work. All this didn't allow the 'recovery' image to take and be used.

I've tried to connect with the two versions of Kies, I've tried 'Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.4.4.exe' I've tried 'Wondershare MobileGo ' I've tried different USB ports. Once I've had it on the screen providing me with the code (looks like a MAC ID) asking me to trust it, etc. When it goes into sleep mode, I have to pull the usb and reconnect to dectect it again. I have enabled debug mode (going into the system and hitting software version, I think it was, 10 times)

I believe I've done everything I should be doing, but it doesn't want to work, and I don't want to brick it.

The details on the system info are as follows. (from Unified_Android_Toolkit_v1.4.4)

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argounaut:
Hello guys,

I have a samsung galaxy grand prime, and I want to update it to Lollipop. Unfortunately, there's no firmware update to lollipop in my country/region. I noticed that there's an update for this device in Russia or India region. I wanna install one of those firmware in my device. Is it okay, although I'm not from India or Russia? :confused:

(Pardon my english)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitsouka:
what grand phrime version do you have?? g530H or what?? and baseband version XXU or XCU?? you can flash any region firmware to your phone...
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argounaut:
It's G350H. And the baseband is XXU. I know about that, but I'm still not sure that's safe. Is there any risks if I flash it to any region firmware though my region firmware isn't available yet?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Audiophile:
Hi argounaut! There's nothing really risky about updating from another region as long as it's the right firmware for your phone. I usually update just like this 'cause my region doesn't give anything at all. My first was from Russia and then I updated my firmware from Uzbekistan and then flashed the latest build from Panama. All of it are 5.0.2 (Lollipop) and I haven't had any problems at all upgarding from other regions :):good:

(EDIT: And I have the same SM-G530H as you, so no need to worry about risks)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitsouka:
no, you can.... it's okay... because all of my phone from different region firmware :D
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argounaut:
Okay, thanks!:good: Do I need to unroot my phone first before flashing it? Which region firmware from those in your opinion is the best so far?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argounaut:
Thank you, Hitsouka :good: Have you ever had bootloop when you flash any firmwares?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitsouka:
i have, just flash your stock firmware and that will fix :D
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Audiophile:
Not really, but you have to root it again after every update beacuase you will lose root access. And for the best firmware so far, I think you should always go with the newest build every time you update:good:
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamedfaky:
if i install lollipop from other regions will make Warranty 0x1 ?

thank you
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Audiophile:
Hi man! I don't know if it's going to void your warranty but, I do know that flashing firmware from official updates from other regions are totally ok. If it's a custom rom or your phone is rooted, well I can't really assure you with your question

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meanvulcan:
What are people's observations re: performance of Kaiser? I've been using Hermes (8525) since last January, have gone through a few ROMs (now using vp3G's latest WM6 ROM), and I continue being annoyed by sluggish performance. With more ROM, a better CPU, and a different graphic chipset, I wonder how much better the Kaiser is at these two...

opening the keyboard... on the 8525 it takes at least a second for the device to handle that, and another second or two for the keyboard to become responsive. Very annoying, especially when I need to type in a GoodLink password or type up a quick response to an email.

waking up... depending on the apps running, it can take a half second to a second after I push the power button and before the home screen fully redraws (this is specific to waking up to the home screen)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] D@rk_4ngel:
Can someone please run some benchmarks on both phones!! would really like to see the performance difference, before i upgrade to TYTN II...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jrp:
What benchmarks would you like to see run?

Subjectively, the II is a little nippier than the I, but not revelatory. The Ameo is still much faster at web page rendering, eg. But that could be as a result of a better radio as well as more horsepower under the hood.

The GPS seems pretty good. Finds satellites faster than the Ameo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wywywywy:
Is the GPS as good as the Sirf-III implementations??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eva_d:
Kaiser's performance compared to Hermes with WM6 (LVSW and Dopod's lately) is MUCH better. Waking up device - split second, literally. Switching to landscape - well, still takes a little bit of time, but looks snappier. Rebooting also clearly faster. So far I am really happy with it's performance, but don't forget, it has just been released. True judgements will come after some time of daily usage...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thedogger:
so Kaiser turns on fast - that's good. Does the clock update instantly, or do you have to wait a few seconds for it to update like the HTC Wizard?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evolution_theory:
The wizard is a couple steps down the line as far as performance and hardware.

on the 8525 the clock is instant.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eva_d:
Didn't actually looked at it specifically, but I've just switched phone on, and clock was showing correct time without delay.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaVince:
Can you try running a benchmark using SKTools? I'm really very curious... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eva_d:
Where can I get it? I never used benchmarks on my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nadavi:
Please get the SPB BENCHMARK from somewhere and letus know :)

Nadavi
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eva_d:
I've got it now, but it says it should be done on freshly hard-reset device, takes ~35 minutes to complete benchmark, and it may destroy some user data. How sweet. Are you sure it's safe? To be honest, I don't like the idea of putting my data and possible hard-reset into risk, so maybe some volunteer with freshly unboxed Kaiser could get up for it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nadavi:
yeah it's safe.

Do a BACKUP (SPRITE BACKUP of SPB BACKUP)

HR the device

install SPB Benchmark.

RUN it.

Publish the results.

HR the device again.

Restore you backup.

Nadavi
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eva_d:
To be honest, I really hate the idea of doing HR just to get benchmark, and you are getting Kaiser tomorrow, as I found out on modaco, so maybe you could benchmark it, how about it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nadavi:
Yeah sure, not a problem, but i'll charge my device 12Hrs before usage :)

NAdavi :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jrp:
You could just leaved it plugged in to the USB charger.

Of course, the benchmark is useless without also benchmarking other systems such as the Tytn, etc...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hkultraman:
Can any body test the performance on TCPMP? If you can, can you brenchmark with the Matrix Reload 640 x 480 Trailer ?

For what it's worth.

Thanks to sot13may1 on Google+ at https://plus.google.com/u/0/100873899416430561037/posts/gkwjsvnVNp7?cfem=1, he references LG's page of sources for the D855 variant here http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGD855, which shows a Marshmallow build for it:

Doesn't mean anything's for certain but if it's being released for the D855, it'll most likely come to the VS985 I would think. There's still no source newer than for 35B (5.1.1) for the VS985, but we'll see.
[Verizon LG G3] confusatron:
Is there any alignment between the models (LGD855 Marshmallow V30a vs LGVS985 Lollipop V35B)?
