[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edcedcedc:
i have galaxy s4 i9505 and i want to know if i need to unlock the bootloader in order to instal custom rom(cyanogen).the phone is in stock condition(not rooted no roms or anything)ive checked the first 10 pages of google results and some guides say i if i dont unlock the bootloader i will brick the phone and some say i dont need to unlock it.i searched this forum aswell but i just end up with 100 tabs open and still cant find my answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The only thing you need to do is this. Install TWRP using Odin, then flash your ROM using TWRP. The only mention of locked bootloaders comes if you own an AT&T or Verizon Galaxy S4. Those two models have a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked, and attempts to change the bootloader on those devices have led to soft bricks which can be resolved by flashing the correct bootloader in the BL slot in Odin.

For a few days now I have been unable to access the Windows directory of my Vox via my PC. I have tried turning 'Show hidden files and folders' on but ot no avail.

If I use the File Explorer on my phone then I can see it just fine, however not on my PC.

Does anybody know what may be causing this problem?
[HTC Vox] mancom:
On your pc,

go to folder options and uncheck Hide protected operating sysytem files, it is bellow options you have set.

Good luck.

Ahh thanks very much. For some reason Windows had turned this back on again and I hadn't noticed.

Not totally sure about this file, but looking inside of it, it has a modem, and the right name for an i605

I am going to give it a try, over the next week, will let you know how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
that appears to not just be the radio but the upgrade to MJ9 firmware, there are separate radio only custom recovery flashable zips. The file you linked appears to be the ODIN update for firmware (this file was required to upgrade from jellybean to kitkat/lollipop).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2598225 (post #2, in context of that thread is good)

fallen00Sniper's repo of files (including the mj9 firmware and nd7 radio)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35087

His repo (radio & root folders) has all the files you should need AFTER returning to PRE-MJ9 stock (PRE MJ9 return to stick is important if you desire stock to retain the ability to unlock your bootloader for AOSP based roms like CyanogenMod, etc.)

read up, proceed with caution & good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid_Nut:
Thanks for catching that for me, I was looking for the MJ9 radio, because right now I am on Baseband VRAMC3, and I wanted to give this rom a try.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765021

I am coming for 4.1.2 so I thought I would have to install the MJ9 radio, I did not realize I could just install the ND7 radio instead?

So do I just need to install the custom rom and the radio from the fallen00sniper downloads, and can I do all of this with TWRP, or do I need to odin it?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid_Nut:
So I put the ND7 radio in via TWRP in my 2 notes. Seems to be working fine so far. I realized I could not do this with odin as they are zipped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
...

rule of thumb, you only feed odin .md5 files (and maybe the occasional .pit file, but the pit file is only used for a return to VRALJB stock clean slate scenario, for those of us with unlocked bootloaders)

to borrow a line from the battlestar galactica "All this has happened before. All this will all happen again". so instead of explaining i'll just provide a few links to good reading material.

to upgrade your i605 to the KitKat/Lollipop world, you will need that MJ9 firmware update installed via odin... just unzip it to get the MD5 file.

Instructions on how to get MJ9 firmware update via ODIN (AOSP Root/Unlocked Bootloader friendly):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2598225

Note: you have to unzip the file to get the .md5 file to feed odin... AFTER reading the link above, a picture is worth 1000 words, please see the attached image for what ODIN should look like after this upgrade.

EDIT: oops you are already on TWRP, skip this paragraph

FWIW, I've always been a CWM recovery guy (since the SCH-i510 days)... on my i605 i used Philz. My current understanding is that TWRP is the way to go now, here are a few links to get you started. (clockwork mod is no longer in the custom recovery business.)

jheide44 thanks for all the info, I am currently sporting 2, Note 2's with CM12.1, one for biz, and one for personal. The Note 2 forum is getting quieter as the phone slips into extinction.

I was going to try a custom touchwiz rom in hopes that the Samsung software for my Galaxy Gear1 would not complain, but I doubt that is going to work, so I ordered a Sony 3 Android wear watch, hope it behaves well with CM12.1?

I am up to ND7 thanks to you and the links.

So is the Wilson CM rom faster than the official CM12.1? Might have to give that a try?

Take Care.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuteGunray:
Hi guys,

This day I flashed a new rom with my g3 (I went form Claudy 2.5 to Flumics 2.7). Flashing goes fast and without any problems, phone boots normal. Then I decided to look up a few things in the rom. I searched and found a point named devic hidden menu (I did not insert a nummber in the dialer). I clickt at it and get in the normal hidden menu. I read the textes there and found one interesting, i hope i rember it right, it was called devic test. So I clicked on it and then bad thinks started.

My phone rebooted, but in the start screen my phone stuck and in the upper right corner i can read:

Error: Boot certification vertify

Secure booting error

Cause: Boot certification vertify

Afer that the led started blinking red and blue.

I have Fastboot mode enabeled and I can get into Recovery (TWRP). So I tried to fix it with flashing my cloudy nandroid backup, wipe everything and to flash a "New" Flumics 2.5 Version, but it didn't worked.

I knew (and I read) Threads about topics like that, but im not sure if they can help, I need you're help guys! How can I fixs this, should I try to simply fash a stock rom?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brunoruanvd:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuteGunray:
I´m not sure that he works, when I press volume up + power button and then connect it via usb to my pc my pc makes a noise like you´re plugging in a usb stick but I don´t see at the pc. On my phone I don´t get this "download mode information". When I go in TWRP and click on reboot "bootloader" I get into fastboot.

My issu is that I maked a device test, my phone rebootet an now it don´t boot any more, I just get to the lg logo and then I´m gettint this error. Then 2 or 4 sec later the led starts blinking and screen turns of.

This is my rom Flumics 2.7 . I thing it is based von V21c.

I recently updated my Lumia 1020 rm 875 to windows 8.1 and been having numerous problems, the phone shuts down on itself, overheats camera not working and other issues, I know I cannot downgrade using the provided windows Phone tools by microsoft that is why I am here, is there anyone who has the stock rom for my phone who can help with a Link? ::crying::crying:
[Meizu MX] enne93:
Good night. It's my first comment at XDA, so hello to everybody.

I bought this phone, a 32 GB ROM MX5, when I received it I could see that I had only about 10 GB of free storage. I thought they sent me a 16 GB one, but asking in some forums they could see that I actually have a 32 GB. They suggested that my mobile phone was flashed with a 16 GB partition table.

I've read similar troubles with other phones at this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50790181#post50790181

but I don't know if I can solve it with an MX5.

Here (http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=21441749#post21441749) they suggest me to delete the partition of 16 GB and restore it with fdisk adb. But without the released bootloader I don't know if I shoud try it. I would like to do it if there is a way to recover the mobile phone if it goes wrong, but I am a rookie at informatic and I don´t know if it will work.

The first I did was a hard reset and a fabric restoration but the storage remained the same.

Don't know what to do: send it in return to China and ask for another one (and be about 1,5 months whitout mobile phone), or keep it, ask to refund the difference between a 32 GB and a 16 GB phone and wait until the bootloader is released to try to solve it.

What do you think is it better? The bootloader may not be released or it can take several months... and when it is released, I don't know if it will solve the problem.

Thanks in advance

By the way, Happy New Year.

so i have tried Go Battery Saver from google play and it had a function 'suspended window' that shows the battery percentage in front of any app (full screen mode or not) the whole time it runs. the battery percentage can be placed anywhere either on the left or right side..

the problem is my phone already have batteryguru (qualcomm snapdragon's battery saver included in the stock rom) and gobattery just eats up extra cpu and ram space. is there a lightweight app or system mod that can do that?

PS the battery percentage doesnt need to be draggable, anywhere on the edge of the screen is fine.

Thanks for putting this together walther1337. I'm still on holiday, so didn't have time to write it up, so you beat me to it. I read through it, everything looks good and should get people up and going.

I've got a bug that I'm curious is specific to my setup or the software, if someone could test it out and let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Start a new blank project.

Add an index which is a single image

Set the "number of space" to a high number (sometimes it happens on 10, sometimes 100)

Once it finishes, all of my lines turn yellow and I can't get them white again.

*EDIT*

As people have asked in the other thread for a place to look for watch faces and hands. Here are a couple that I have found that can be useful

FaceRepo.com - Full watches made for android devices. Download the files and open in winrar to find the face and hands in the images folder

watchawear.com - Has both completed faces and standalone hands
[Samsung Gear S2] nyknight77:
thanks for the great tutorial walther1337!

Everything works fine for me but it seems there's a bug on step count complications. My step count doesn't sync and if I use "step count percentage" it syncs to the battery percentage instead. Wonder if it's related to using "moderate" buid instead of "high secure"... I tried "high secure" but all I got was a digital watch face without any of the images.

I loaded both of the certificates.

I created those certificates today might this be the problem?
[Samsung Gear S2] walther1337:
It shouldn't matter when you've created the certificates, so long as they were created before you tried to install the watch face, which must be built after creating/reloading the certificates. I don't think I've actually seen that error message before. I took a brief look at the sdb documentation and didn't notice anything. I will look into it more later. In the mean time, try closing out of GWD, executing the sdb kill-server command, and reopening everything.

Supported Size is not found error

I connected to my S2 and after the download the watchface into the device I received the grey "Supported Size is not found error". How can I fix it?
[Samsung Gear S2] walther1337:
I am still looking into the issue.

Supported Size could be various things. There may be a limit to the size of an image(ie nothing beyond 1920x1920. note these are arbitrary numbers given as an example), or you may have too many images. Animations would also fall into the limit of images, if there is one.

Is the error displayed on your watch, command window or GWD?

How big is the .tpk you are trying to install?
[Samsung Gear S2] MDrakk:
I tried an inbuild sample watch face, the new watch face with the application elements, an background with one hour hand...and the result is same.

I don't think the size of watchface cause the problem.

I didn't received the last 5M update, yet. My software version isR732XXU2BOKK.

Hi,

Just copy the .tpk on your PC and connect your GearS2 with sdb to your PC and install it directly.

- connect your PC and your GearS2 with the same wlan network

- find out the IP of your watch (within the connection settings on your GearS2)

- locate your sdb.exe (comes with the tizen developer pakage) and open an command shell on this location

- type "sdb connect [IP of GearS2]"

- type "sdb install <pkg patch>"

- have fun :D

So, I've successfully been able to get these instructions to work on my work computer(Windows 7) and managed to create a face and upload it to the store. I can get GWD to run on my 2 personal Windows 10 computers(Surface pro 3 and ASUS T100), but get the signature failed message when trying to transfer the watch face(the same .tpk .gwd files that I transfered via USB). I went over the steps many times, I seem to be doing everything correct. Is this due to the certificate(s) being permanently associated to the .tpk/PC?
[Samsung Gear S2] Clon2k:
Hi,

Open the .gwd with the Gear Watch Designer create an author certificate a distributor certificate (connect your watch at first) and build your project. After those steps you should be able to transfere your watchface to your GerS2. :D

[Samsung Gear S2] phxtravis:
I've done that, many times... My work PC has zero issues using the "sdb install" command, file transfer perfectly. I only have issues when I try it on my 2 Windows 10 tablets.

[Samsung Gear S2] phxtravis:
I was still having issues with the sdb install, but after reading another thread I saw it mentioned that if you use the GWD "Run on Device" and keep the watch awake it would install. It hang's at 40%, but if you wait about a minute after it reaches 40% it actually installs(you just need to manually change the watch face on the watch).
[Samsung Gear S2] GeorgeP:
As the OP mentions, if it hangs after it reach 40%, try waking the watch. That seems to always work for me.
[Samsung Gear S2] Mikoube:
I've tested some watchface today, and I don't need to keep the watch awake. but I encourt some issue to keep the watch connected... It seems that GWD and the "Manual SDB" don't like to work together...

When the install stop, can you try to do a "CTRL+C" to stop the precess and then, directly check the connexion with "sdb devices" command. Maybe it's an issue like me but during the installation.
[Samsung Gear S2] alexac:
I've looked everywhere for a 32 bit version of JRE and cant seem to get it? I'm running El Capitan v. 10.11.13 and I just cannot get the GWD to launch.
