[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undersound:
First off thanks for this forum and its plethora off information.

My problem:

1. Bought a brand new GT-I9505.

2. Installed cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-jfltexx with this guide (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx)

3. Everything went smooth but the next day starting to get "Sim Card Removed" errors

4. Search the internets and saw that it was a know problem to some batches of S4 phones (https://www.google.nl/search?q=sams....69i57j0l5.15789j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

5. Called customer support of where I bought the phone. Told me I could return it because of the Dead On Arrival support that they give for these cases.

6. Tried to reset to stock but that didn't work because, as I came to discover, knox Warranty Void got triggered to 0x1.

7. Did a factory reset with CM and send the phone back to the company.

8. They sent the phone back to me saying they could not remove CM and that they wanted me to reinstall the OS which came with the phone.

From my past knowledge (installing CM on a galaxy S2) I remembered that my warranty ony would be voided when I would root my device.

I felt supported in that assumption by the text on the install page for my phone which stated:

"The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary"

So I thought I was doing the installation correctly in terms of warranty voiding.

Clearly that assumption was false because meanwhile Knox got implemented and I should have read upfront before installing CM obviously on my new phone. My bad.

However I am now in a stiuation where I have bought a phone with a hardware defect (Sim card is randomly not being detected) but I cannot return it because Samsung has set a flag which cannot be reset (http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/).

I have read some posts (e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2568450) about that it is possible to return to stock but either the posts are relatively old or they are about other devices and/or Android versions.

So I am confused about what my options are at the moment and before I go into the process of trying to bring back my phone to stock I wanted to ask help from some better informed people about this situation.

My questions are:

1. Can I go back to stock firmware from CM 12.1 while knox got triggered.

2. If so, do I need to root my phone?

3. If succeeded is there a way to hide the Warranty Void message while booting. I am talking about hiding here and not removing/resetting the flasg to 0x0 as that is not possible.

Thanks in advance,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
1) Yes, of course.

2) No.

3) Don't know what you are talking about.

Odin is used to flash stock roms on Samsung devices. That is the only way.

There are links to guides in the help thread in the Q&A section.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyoh:
Yes u can go back to stock. Just download the firmware from sammobile.com then download odin now put ur phone in download mode and start odin as admin.

Next in pda select the file u downloaded from sammobile and flash.

Thats all
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undersound:
Thanks both for your answers.

Should have been more clear in point 6 where I write I tried to reset to stock.

I tries resetting to stock with Odin 3.10.7 (also tried 3.09 and 3.07) and a firmware image from sammobile.com

Unfortuanetely I got an error relating to my pit file.

Used heimdall to create one from my phone.

Tried to go back to stock again via pda and pit file options (re-partition checked this time)

Unfortuanetely it still didn't work. Don't have access to the exact error messages here from that process but will post back the error messages once I do.

Thanks again for your time and support on this
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Such errors are usually related to the USB cable, USB port on the pc (back ports are recommended) and Windows version.

Edit: You might be able to use FlashFire to flash the stock rom if Odin doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undersound:
That's good to know, thanks. I was trying this with an extended usb cable so it can be the definitely the case.

Will try later today with a direct connection to a backport.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undersound:
Managed to return to stock firmware, yay!

In case it helps someone else, here are my steps:

1. By dialing *#1234# on a similar phone I checked what ap/cp/csc version I needed

AP: I9505XXUHOF2
CP: I9505XXUHOF2
CSC: I9505OXAHOF2

2. Downloaded the correct firmware image (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50091/I9505XXUHOF2_I9505YHNHOF2_PHN/)

3. Extracted the firmware file

4. Opened Odin v3.10.7

5. Rebooted Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

6. Connected phone and waited until I got a blue sign in Odin

7. Added the firmware file to AP / PDA

8. Made sure re-partition was NOT ticked

9. Clicked the start button

10. Then I got a PASS!

So I guess there can be 2 reasons my first attempt of flashing stock firmware did not worked:

1. The firmware I used the first time was not correct for this phone (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/64897/I9505XXUPOL1_I9505PHNPOL1_PHN)

I did not know at that time about checking my ap/cp/csc described in Step 1 above so I was just downloading the firmware which seemed the most appropiate according to the country / provider.

What helped me a lot was when I found the explanation of the parts of the version number:

I9505XXUHOF2
I9505 = phone model
XX = country/region code
UHOH2 = modem

2. The second attempt I followed GDReaper suggestion and I used the usb cable directly on of the backports of my pc so that could have helped as well.

Another thing that was not clear to me at first were the providers code. Or well, they were clear to me that they were abbreviations for telecom providers but I did not bought these phones from a provider so I was not sure which one to pick. After a while I came to discover that I needed PHN which means Unbranded

---------------------
PHN = unbranded
TNL = Tmobile
VDF = Vodafone

Thanks all for the help

I've done extensive testing and comparisons between phones and found the following issues with the HTC 10:

- Above average operating temperatures (37-42c)

- Weak Wifi Reception
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ro_explorer:
The above average temp is because of full metallic construction and the position of the cpu on the back of the phone, just under the aluminum plate, therefore, the heat radiation is much faster (you will feel it like heating up compared to plastic phones).

I have not noticed any issue with wifi.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] exxi:
Things I really dislike about my HTC 10:

- Average Operating Temperature between 37-42c (gets warm way to quickly)

- Camera is average at best

- Power Button is flimsy

- laggy as hell, especially typing with Swiftkey is nearly impossible!!!!

I tried the following phones extensively in the last 2 months:

- Nexus 6P

- S7 Regular

- S7 Edge

- Nexsus 5x

Out of them all I liked the S7 regular the best so far.

I am not sure if I am going to keep the HTC 10. Not too impressed...

Anyone else having the same issues?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bc13:
My phone isn't laggy at all. Sounds like maybe you got a lemon. Only thing is the battery life hasn't impressed me. It's not bad just not as good as I had hoped.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nobnut:
Please keep us updated. I think I am speaking for all of us here when I say that until you are happy with whichever phone choice you decide on, none of us will be able to sleep.

I don't mind what time of the day (or night) it is. Just email me or call my direct line. I will make sure everyone else knows within moments of receiving your update.

This is heart-breaking.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] RemnantKing2:
Build construction better than the 6P, better wifi and signal reception (6P was absolutely horrid) and battery life on the 10 imo is also leaps and bounds better than the 6P. Really couldn't be happier with this phone.

nobnut, I am so delighted that such caring and compassionate individuals are part of the XDA community.

After all, that is what makes this board such a great place for the fringe and disillusioned individuals (such as me) who are crying for attention.

Who in the wold can undestand the pain and suffering that comes with a less than perfect smartphone? Your message filled me with hope.....

Now, may I please have your full contact details to make use for your generous and selfless offer?

Thank you so much!

Ahahahahaha, I am just so sad and astonished that half of you asperger syndrome ridden geeks don't even get a good bit of sarcasm.

nobnut, the donation is real tho; for the sake of staying original but this is just hopeless.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to rant about the 10; just asking if someone else is having the same issues. Other than that, I had really high expectations for the 10 as i returned all other devices. I was really happy to make the jump away from samsung.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Jooosty:
Heat. Only when I'm charging? I don't play games though. Just casual browsing and facebook. And music.

Lagging? Through the whole UI?

I get no lag, at all. I've also typed this with swift just to try it out.

Camera, definitely not as good as the S7. I had the S7E for two months. Took the best pics. But this one isn't a slouch. Just requires a lot of adjustments when wanting to take a good shot (typical HTC)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] evak2979:
my issue with my HTC 10 was the subtle backlight bleed all around the panel's frame.

I loved the phone, up until noticing said effect on a green background. It wasn't the same as a light leak on a dark screen - this, I noticed on a green.

It was like the screen's borders where lighter in hue up to half a centimeter in width - I know it's too much, and I know I have OCD with such things, but for me was super distracting :(

Other than that, I loved everything about the device - camera, layout, colour reproduction, speed, sound. Everything :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
yup its because of the aluminum body, was the same with the m9. there was a mod to take the device apart and apply thermal paste if you search the m9 forums. its risky but i did it before, helped alot. would for sure void warranty.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] wangateur:
You guys are hilarious:) love xda rofl
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mariuscm:
Has anyone tested the YouTube uploading on the HTC 10?

Here's what I've noticed:

* if I shoot a video in landscape mode, all is good and the video is updated correctly, in landscape mode - as expected

* if I shoot a video in portrait mode, the video uploads as a landscape video

I've tried different camera apps with the same result.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nobnut:
Oh!

I love you. However, I feel like a fraud. I must admit now to a rare genetic condition called 'advertisements suck disease'. As such, I have been a long time proponent of blocking all ads. I never knew therefore that XDA pushed them on us.

I tell you what... I am now making a donation to Doctors Without Borders in order to pay forward your generous act of kindness. I hope it meets with your approval.

In the meantime, let's say a silent prayer for exxi and his problems.

Shabba.

I recently started to get lots of popads on my device, so I ran my usual scan with Malwarebytes and it came up with KingRoot being heavily infected with malware. I cant uninstall, since its what i used to root and its also a system app. Any help?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganwaffle8:
Ok, I think I got it.

Doing adb devices gives me G000HH0454340LB9, I beleive this is the correct device?

Anyways, plan is:

Boot into recovery on device and select apply update from adb

Get the 5.1.1 update (firmware it originally had) and place it in the folder adb installed in.

Do adb sideload (file name)

Wait (maybe grab a cup of coffee?)

Hopefully success, back to stock firmware!

Afterwards ill root with kingroot and then remove using rootjunky supertool.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganwaffle8:
Ok, this is getting kinda annoying.

Placed the update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720 .bin file in the same folder I have adb installed.

Booted devices into recovery mode, selected apply update from adb

Open adb, do adb sideload update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbanespaceman:
OK, so my previous issue sorted itself out, and I have a working firetv, but now it seems to be unrootable.

TWRP is installed just fine. I go in and install the latest rooted rbox rom (5.0.5.1_r1), with md5 to be on the safe side. The system tells me it's all installed just fine. I reboot and come to the amazon home screen then try and connect via adb. Nothing. I can't connect to that IP at all, let alone try and shell in and see if I can su.

Is there any way I can see if the rooted rom has been installed? The FTV just tells me the version is 5.0.5.1, but I assume that it will do this regardless of whether I have amazon's rom or rbox's rom?

I can connect vi rdb when in recovery, no problem. So I can get at the file system if there's something in there I can tweak or verify.

Any suggestions? Please? I'd really like to sort this and disable updates before Amazon decide to release 5.0.5.2 and I'm totally screwed!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
Quick answer: try to install 5.0.5 and see if that fixes your issues - latest is not always best

Also disabling and re-enabling adb in the fire tv settings right before you try to connect. it seems that it gets bugged out since 5.0.x

That solves almost anything. Just make sure to backup your contacts, photos, whatever you need to save.

What Huawei has for now to do with Sony ?? A factory reset I can do that I know myself. I'm looking for a solution to provide the way. It may well be that someone knows why the Gnow Launcher remain other symbols even though there is nothing on the device iconpacks and topics. That is my goal.
