[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just flash a custom ROM that specifically supports Verizon version M8 ("international" ROMs won't work on VZN version, due to kernel differences).

Custom ROMs are pre-rooted by definition, so you will still have root. And you will be rid of VZN branding and bloat. Its a "win" all around.

You may want to update your firmware (hboot, radio, etc) to Marshmallow for best compatibility. But from what I've seen, MM ROMs appear to work fine on LP firmware. VZN firmware thread: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/vzw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.am.root:
I ended up getting impatient and just downloaded and flashed the OTA update through HTC Sync Manager, then flahed TWRP and SuperSU. So now I am running fully stock Verizon Marshmallow rom with root permissions and TWRP recovery. I will look around for a sense 7 debloated rom running the latest firmware to flash. I haven't had much luck yet.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Applying the OTA is another perfectly valid way to update the firmware.

Although an OTA is not supposed to work with rooted software. Did you return to stock unrooted ROM to OTA?

You mean a debloated ROM based on the latest VZN software? The VZN MM ROM is very new, and dev support for the M8 in general is dropping off, so yes there isn't much yet.

But international based ROMs will work, as long as they specify that they support the VZN M8. The "latest" VZN software is not necessarily better; especially if you are looking to debrand and debloat.

Recently, Cyanogenmod got the feature for fingerprint scanners on the Samsung Galaxy S5. I updated my phone to the latest version and whenever I try to use my fingerprint scanner it allows me to save one but it gives me a "not recognized" message whenever used on the lockscreen.

There is one post on the General Section posted by the developer that got the fingerprint working. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/fingerprint-opensource-romcm-mokee-t3315196 He basically states there that there are some devices in which fingerprint doesnt work yet at least for cm, If I recall correctly the G900T(T-Mobile) is one of them. I have one myself and it doesnt work for me either so we just have to wait and see what happens or you can install his rom and see if it works there.

Hi,

I am looking for the best way to get a full back up of my phone, as per the Iphones, backed up through I tune.

In other words, how can I have/save an image of my note4, rooted already, and restore just in case?

Back up can be saved to the external sd card or PC.

Can it be done with titanium backup or any other app?

Anyone can explain how/which way can I use Titanium backup for that??

Also,

how can I use my external sd card to install by default all my apps, so I do not use the internal memory??

How to swipe the already installed apps to external sd card?

I can't comment on snapchat as I don't use it. They are both great phones. I've always liked stock Android, so the Nexus is a must have. But there has always been something about Sony phones I like.

I have the premium dual and I have both tmo and att sims. Yes it works with band 12 but same as my z5c it likes to prefer band 4 in my area for some silly reason. But here att has better coverage so most of the time I leave the att sim active for data. Only one sim can be active for data but you can switch that in the settings easily. Both sims fully support all modes including LTE. They are dual standby so keep that in mind. Cant speak for snapchat as I don't use it.

Hello, everyone!

I found this nice looking metal bumper on eBay:

Does anyone have any experiences with it? Does it fit well?

If nobody have this bumper: What do you think? Is there any chance that it'll scratch the edges of the 6P when installing? Regarding the back: Do you think it's a fingerprint magnet?

I would be happy about any thoughts of all kind you can share!

Thanks a lot and have a great day!

They definitely look interesting, however they look like fingerprint magnets, specially the silver one. If they're really made of smooth metal they may be very slippery and covering the phone's antennas with metal might cause signal problems.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] ttminh1997:
Had a somewhat similar case with my old Note 4. The case had a metal bumper and a glass back, absolutely stunning and didn't scratched my phone. It did, however, reduced my wifi and cell signal to unusable level, and made my GPS virtually non-functional. OP, stay away from metal bumper or cases, at least those that physically touch the phone.

On an unrelated note, I truly hope that spigen would introduce their metal neo hybrid series for our 6P. Had one with my note 4, that was truly a looker. Sleek black TPU case with textured back, surrounded by an almost visually orgasmic metal bumper that never touches the phone, preventing any signal loss.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozenter:
CONTEXT: My phone no longer charges (USB port doesn't work), but I have insurance. VZW sent me a replacement phone and I need to send back the old phone after doing a factory reset. The phone won't factory reset and I need your help. I think this will be an easy one for you guys. Here is my sense of the problem. I rooted the phone when I got it right away right after it was released aprox 2.5 years ago. I downloaded the classic root files like Clockworkmod, Wanam Xposed, Titanium Backup, Busy Box Pro, ROM Manager, ROM Installer, ROM Toolbox Pro, Root Explorer, Super SU, ...etc. After that I never changed the ROM. So I still have OEM ROM with lots of app updates. I did change the recovery.img in order to use one of those apps. I think it was to use Clockworkmod. Anyways now when I go to factory reset the phone it says it is missing the recover.img file. My sense is if I put back that file on my phone in the right spot it will then allow me reset to stock. Does that sound right? If so how do I do that? If not what else should I try consider? Grateful for any help I can get! THANK YOU in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtfulDodger:
Things are really dead around here as you can tell by the lack of responses, but to answer your question the only way to restore unrooted stock is by downloading the stock firmware and using ODIN. The recovery img file is in that firmware too. I suggest getting your USB port fixed or you are screwed. If you do that, then follow these steps:

Download stock firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/

Download ODIN here: https://mega.nz/#!nZoThZ5a!TrPzLGDrtQJSmJfH8UkOFAkfc9wSLl_lPhrVusQoRJ8

After you unpack the zip files, turn off your phone. Then hit the power, home and volume down buttons all at the same time for download mode. Confirm by hitting volume up as instructed. Plug the phone into your PC and open ODIN. You should see the COM port open. Next select the AP option, then browse to the file you unzipped the firmware to. Double click and wait until the md5 is done being verified. Hit start and wait, it takes about 4 or 5 minutes. Once it's finished and the phone starts rebooting, unplug the phone and pull the battery (you don't want to let it boot all the way or you'll get FCs out the ying yang). Now replace the battery, boot into stock recovery by hitting power, home and volume up all at the same time. Recovery will come up and then do your factory reset. You should be good to go after that.

Thanks - is there any way to do this without the USB port? I can still get new files to the phone via the MicroSD card. Or use Root explorer to mess with all the files on the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtfulDodger:
Refer to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426162. But keep in mind, your bootloader MUST be unlocked to use mobile ODIN. If you are on KK 4.3 & up, I think you might be SOL.

One last attempt to get this fixed. I really just need to know where the recovery imagine is located in the note 3. Here again is a quick summary of the issue. I also just posted in the CWD thread.

"I have a Galaxy Note 3. I successfully put CWD on it when I purchased it several years ago. The USB port no longer charges the phone. I have insurance with VZW, but I need to send the phone back in stock. I can't put the phone back in stock because I have the CWD recovery image is in there. I recall I left the old recovery image on the phone and just changed the extension. So all I need to do to fix the phone is go back into the folder where the recovery image is and delete the CWD image and change original image extension back to its original form (which I think is IMG). The problem is I don't where on the phone these recovery images are. Can anyone help me with this situation? Thanks!!!"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
The recovery image is the recovery partition and you have overwritten it. You MAY be able to dig an image out of a firmware such as founf on sammobile but you still need a way to flash it. Without an unlocked bootloader or USB port.. I believe you're out of luck. You should simply send the phone back to VZW... I seriously doubt the shop it really goes to cares if it's stock or not.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I'm sorta confused.

If it was rooted a few years ago & it was a retail device, a "true" replacement recovery (e.g. CWM) wouldn't boot because of the Samsung signing checks. This isn't a Developer Edition device, is it?

If it had SafeStrap installed, then:

- that already comes with a pseudo-recovery which is a mod of TWRP.

- the whole thing boots out of /system using the stock boot partition, and all it's magic happens inside of /system (with some loopback blobs for the non-stock slots stored in /data)

Does the OP know that a "factory reset" is an Android misnomer? There is no "resetting" back to factory of a device which has had customization of the /system partition. That has to be done either manually or through restoration of backups. The android "Factory Reset" only wipes the /data file system. It doesn't magically repair random customizations to /system, and that's what causes the "Custom" icon during boot.

About the only way I can think that the OP can resolve this is if he happens to have a Safestrap (pseudo-) TWRP backup of the stock slot. I guess the approach would be to:

- get the correct release "recovery.img" file out of the Odin Stock tarball, and "dd" it to the recovery partition ( mmcblk0p15 on the SM-N900V)

- restore the original, virginal "stock slot" backup onto the stock slot from the Safestrap+TWRP backup

- make sure to set the active slot to the stock slot

- reboot, go back into Safestrap recovery and:

- delete all other slots

- uninstall Safestrap.

This of course would only be feasible if the stock slot backup was taken immediately after installation of SafeStrap, so it's uninstall would restore /system to approximately the same condition as Stock. Maybe after running that ROM for a little bit the TIMA attribution would revert the "Custom" status indicator. It might even allow a download of an OTA.

There is another method of restoring to stock without USB that I can think of, but it would involve the bootloader unlock and booting a real (true) custom recovery, which would blow the Knox Warranty bit, so - given the OP's desires - I don't see much point in it.

donc113's comments should be considered as well: what is the chance that the warranty returns department is going to "go all CSI" on your returned phone? They probably have to deal with hundreds of dead phones per day. I suppose it depends a bit on luck and who is doing the warranty returns, but there have been more than one person on XDA report "I just returned the phone in it's trashed state and didn't bother to clean anything up, and no complaints."

good luck

I have an unlocked bootloader, but no USB port. So any ideas you have would greatly be apprecaited. VZW cares a lot. It will cost me $300 if I can't fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
Did you unlock the bootloader or is that the way it came? Since you put CWM on it a long time ago... I would think that it's a developer edition and if so... It will be engraved inside with "Developer Edition" under the battery.

If it is a developer edition.... To the best of MY knowledge (i certainly could be wrong) Verizon never sold them... Only Samsung did... Thus Verizon never had a warranty on it.

But, no matter what version it is, since you loaded a non VZW recovery...you can not put back 100% to stock because the "warranty fuse" is blown and can not be reset.

I presume you have tried Odin to flash a stock firmware load that includes stock recovery but that requires the USB port be working (but doesn't require the charge circuit to work).

Beyond Odin... I have no other ideas.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozenter:
Thanks you rock. I REALLY appreciate the effort. I fully realize that Knox won't be fixed. This is NOT a developer phone. These instructions a little over my head as I'm not that experienced with custom ROMs. I have really only dabbled a little bit with my last few phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
There is a possibility... That there is a script called install_recovery.sh or install_original_recovery.sh in your /system/etc directory. You must have root to execute them IF they even exist.

It depends on when and how CWD was installed.

Can anyone confirm that the Universal does not have USB host. Most places just say no but there isn't really any hard evidence of it. I know the processor supports it but did they put in the necessary circuitry for it? Whats strange is that the Universal's miniUSB port is the same as my Sharp Zaurus's miniUSB port and my USB host adapter fits in. Does not fit into normal miniUSB ports. Just the Zaurus which had USB host and the HTC Universal. Just seemed a bit odd to me. I tried it of course and did not do anything.

I'll experiment with this further and check that image of the mainboard closely.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rudegar:
everybody who posted about it in this forum reported it to not support host

connector means nothing all htc devices since the universal have had the same connector

heck these days they are talking about making it the std connector for all phones nokia and the likes too
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzalan:
This all hinges on the connector, and the hardware used to drive the connector. The Universal(and indedd, all mobile devices) use mini-USB connectors, which do NOT incorporate a host control circuit. This means that, since USB uses a protocol that might be termed as "Speak when spoken to", your device can answer the computer when it asks, it can NOT ask another device to speak to it.

To sum it up, you can't connect a pendrive to your PDA, but you can connect it to your computer, precisely because of the lack of the USB host controller unit.

Hope this cleared it up for you...

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Legodude522:
This is not what I meant. I'm talking about a specific type of miniUSB connector.

And in the recent announcement to make a standard cell phone connector, they chose microUSB.

This is what I mean.

HTC Universal's miniUSB port.

A normal miniUSB port.

My miniUSB -> USB host adapter from my Sharp Zaurus fits into only the Zaurus and the HTC Universal. Doesn't do anything in the HTC Universal though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Not possible.

If you check on the internals, you will find that there is no power output to the usb port in anyway. so, its a hardware limitation and there is no way it will support hosting, be rest assured!
