[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofacykel:
Going from an LG Optimus G which I rooted with TowelRoot, installed SuperSU and went my merry way, what's the easiest possible way of obtaining Root functionality in the same fashion for an International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 running Android 4.4.2?

I'm concerned with the new security measures in Note 3 such as KNOX and the inability to TriangleAway. I'm not entirely sure what tripping KNOX actually does but it seems the general concensus is to try an avoid it at all cost. I do not need any other kind of functionality like custom ROM's and whatnot, just a basic, relatively simple and safe way to obtain root that doesn't even have to survive reboots.

Found a guy basically saying just install TowelRoot and SuperSU and be done with it, but then I found this guide telling people to flash a Root Kernel first, then proceed with TowelRoot and SuperSU, and then reflash the Stock Kernel which had me a bit confused. Is that necessary?

Odin is a nice tool and I am familiar with it (Galaxy S2 back in the day, all the custom ROM's!) but I'd rather not if there's a simpler, non-tethered way to do it directly on the phone. I am making this thread in the hopes of being absolutely sure I am doing the right thing. I refrained from updating to 5.0 due to possible inability to easily root, I hope it paid off.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Technical data:

Model: SM-N9005

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: N9005XXUGNI3

Kernel version: 3.4.0-1955971

Build#: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNI4

Status for SE for Android: Enforcing (suppose I need to turn this off, or is this the dreaded KNOX?)

Thank you so very much for your time, and thanks in advance for any help provided!

Go with towel root like me and no problem. I have Knox 0x0 and every root app works flawless

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sofacykel:
Not sure if that answered my question though, since I've read that TowelRoot works on some kernel versions and not on others, which is why I listed all data I thought relevant.

I'm still not entirely certain it'll work on my device just yet, I just want some kind of reassuring confirmation. Cheers!

Edit: So I tried TowelRoot from TowelRoot.com, despite many malware warnings by my browser I ran it. Found some typing errors in the app, especially the "Make it ra1n" button said "Make it ra1r" which raised some red flags, but oh well. Pressed the button and it said "Device unsupported" so I suppose this is a no-go..?

You can flash older kernel than you current build. Then rerun TR. There is a guide somewhere in this note 3 section.

Try kingoroot, and don't worry tripping knox will just break your warranty that's all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I like cf auto root but it requires installation via Odin which is very quick and painless.

You could also flash twrp and then flash supersu from twrp. Twrp can be installed Odin.

Hi

I recently bought a C500. It turned out to have been bought over Ebay from a previous owner.

The problem is that the phone is sim-locked. Is it possible to unlock the phone without having an Orange sim?

The main problem is that i live in Denmark and I have no idea of where to get hold of an Orange sim.

So is it possible to remove the simlock without actually having an Orange sim in the phone?

Thanks!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightshield:
I have a rooted Nexus 6P, on stock 6.0.1.

Before yesterday, I was running the newest Franco Kernel on Verizon.

Last night I switched to AT&T, and this morning realized that when I try to open the camera it stays on the black loading screen with the white camera icon,

I re-flashed boot, vendor, system and cache images but it's still doing it.

I deleted the camera app data and cache, but still no luck.

Any Ideas?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Try a fresh factory image. If it still does it with that then you may have faulty hardware.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] chn555:
choetech chargers

I ordered the usb C charger some time ago from ali, it works flawlessly, came with a C-C cable, got 2 and immediately gave one to a friend with a 6p, ordered 2 more already.

Says rapid charging on the lock screen, and it really is fast, 30% in 30min from my experience. great buy.

poor UK brethren can look up choetech at aliexpress and get himself a pair.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sapphirecoupe:
No coupon for the 3 port charger?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ironmarley:
Triple Charger looks great.

Going to try the standard wall charger and 3.3 ft cable. That triple charger looks intriguing though. Perhaps soon.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vacaloca:
Definitely like the Choetech 3A/5V Type-C Wall Charger, charges up phone quickly :) Will try the 9.9ft USB CC cable soon!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dustinb17:
I've tried the 6 foot C to C cable for a couple of weeks now and it works exactly as advertised. Charges just as quickly as my stock 3 foot cable from what I can tell. I've tested it on both my 6P and 5X and have nothing but good things to say in all honesty.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I've been using the 0.5M A-C cable to connect my 6P to my Surface for a while without any issues. Its nice to have a shorter cable for times when a 3.3ft one is too long.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thoang1987:
Have the USB A - C, love it. As good as the OEM cable. I'm positive my new favorite would be the wall charger if I win the contest!! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Smyc151:
So far, the best product I've used is the Choetech T513 3 Coils Qi Wireless Charging Pad. Best wireless charger ever!

Favorite product: 0.5m A-C cable.

I like short cables, and very long cables. Short cables for the car, PC, and school bag, long cables (10ft) for under the couch.

Bought two Choetech 0.5m cables about a month ago. Fits with the case I have on, and has a very satisfying click as it seats into place.

Edit: Just ordered the 5V/3A USB-C rapid charger & 6.6ft (2M) type C to C cable. Found codes for these two. Codes are below. Good til 2/1/2016.

Use code DFBC3JAH on UK, EU and US Amazon to save £3, €2 and $2 to purchase a 5V/3A USB-C rapid charger.

Use code AGAUOLDU on UK, EU and US Amazon to save £2, €2 and $2 to purchase a 6.6ft (2M) type A to C cable.

Use code 9D6L24SK on UK, EU and US Amazon to save £2, €2 and $2 to purchase a 6.6ft (2M) type C to C cable.

I need to buy one too...

I've been searching Amazon, but it's a bit overwhelming with the Gold car chargers. I just bought a Gold Nexus 6p at Best Buy a few days ago. I don't want to pay more than like $15.00, so if anyone has some ideas, let us know. Thanks.

DFBC3JAH code is invalid??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tsuttie99:
DFBC3JAH also shows as invalid for me, while the C-C code (9D6L24SK) works just fine....

Also, I am saddened to see the 3-port wall adapter not available in Canadian store... Us Canadians always get left out.

I bought this one and its amazing: http://www.amazon.ca/Charger-Tronsm...55052277&sr=8-6&keywords=tronsmart+usb+type+c

EDIT - Realized just now (even though been using this charger for a while now) that it is not true Type C spec. Kinda choked about that because I bought it before those reviews came out. Nonetheless, it charges my 6P very quickly.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PatcheZ:
That code actually expired Feb 1st.

Unfortunately, the AP code also expired as of the 6th.

Looks like you'll have to wait for another code to pop up again.

I PMed to ask for a discount code so I could pick up the 3 port home charger but I never got a reply.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobits:
I was going to get the 5x, but none of my friends whom already had .... had the phone said that don't buy one

It's not a Nexus .... No Nexus laggy

Is there an update or solution to it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbrokhan:
if you come from an old phone like galaxy s3 or galaxy s5 then Nexus 5X then you will notice improvement you won't notice the lag.

but if you come from a very fast phone like HTC one M8 and iphone 6s and Nexus 6 (2014) then you might notice some lag on Nexus 5X

It's not a deal breaker. you should be ok. try testing it from a High Street (shopping Center) shop and if you like it keep it or get a exchange or refund if you have problems with it.

if you like fast update's and 3 years of update cycle then get Nexus 5x or Nexus 6P.

and After 3 years you can Install new ROMs and kernels and get the latest Android. its Good for developers etc.

Nexus 6P is more faster.

depends what you like. everyone is different. you think different then me and like different things then me.

some people like more features like split screen, SD card, removable battery, better speakers, battery life. etc.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:

[LG Leon ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Dear Developers

I'm sure you already heard about the GPL around the forums. In case you did not, the GPL ("GNU General Public License") is the most common license that affects many projects, like the Linux Kernel (the Linux Kernel is licensed under the GPLv2). This affects us, XDA and its members, as we are often working with the Linux Kernel (every Android platform runs on top of the Linux Kernel).

You may ask yourself now "Well, that's nice, but how does this affect me and what does the GPL do?" The answer is pretty simple actually: The GPL guarantees users to examine, modify and share their and others code by enforcing open-sourceness. This means you are free to use any GPL'ed sourcecode for your project, but you must make your used code publically available again.

Now, as many advantages this has, it also means quite some work for us developers. All used sources must be completely public by the time the compiled binary (like a Kernel) goes online. Another requirement is, that the OP must include all information to compile the exact same binary as uploaded by the developer. This means you need to specify:

The used toolchain including its version (linking to your toolchain source is always a good idea)

The used defconfig

The link to your sourcecode (including the used branch, tags,...)

If used, also upload your scripts used for the compilation

If you upload a kernel, publish the source, but the source is not compilable, it means you are breaking the GPL as you did not release the used source. Breaking the GPL actually means breaking the law, which means the sanctions on XDA could possibly be the least of your problems...

Example:

@ROM devs, using a precompiled kernel

As you are not compiling the kernel yourself, you do not have to give the above information. However, you have to link to the source of your kernel binary (for example: link to the OP of the used kernel). If you use the stock kernel, you must state this. Linking to the stock sources is not a requirement, but it is not the worst idea.

Keep in mind; if the kernel used is not GPL compliant, your ROM is not GPL compliant either. This may cause your thread to be closed and/or further action on your account may be taken.

Example:

If you need/want further information, you might want to take a look at THIS news article written by our Developer Admin pulser_g2

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
What recovery did you flash first? Also describe exactly what you did step by step to flash that and TWRP. You might try to power down your phone and press power button /volume down and hold to enter your boatloader then release buttons when in boatloader. Then use volume key to select recovery and hit power button to enter it. It may be flashed and it's just needed a reboot back into recovery to show. Official TWRP for our a5 found on the TWRP website does work on our phone so it's probably something easy to correct. Let me know.
