[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiwan:
Hello! My name is Marie, and I'm new to these forums.

While trying some ported Note 7 apks I found here, I accidentaly deleted my bkp for the Samsung stock Contact app.

Now I don't want to use third-party apps found on the Play Store, and I'd like mine back.

I searched everywhere, but I only found a S7 stock app that made my phone crash.

So I'd like somebody owning a Samsung under Lollipop (since it's the only one I'm sure my phone will have no problem running) to send me the apk for the CONTACT/PHONE stock app.

Using a ROOTed Samsung Galaxy A300FU (A3 2015) under Marshmallow.

This is really important to me!

Thank you!

Hello everybody,

I wanted to downgrade my firmware but everything I've tried so far hasnt worked...

What have I already tried?

- fastboot (format firmware) get an error message saying "cant format filesystem " "

- fastboot flash (get also an error message)

- trying to flash through twrp but it says everything is already up to date

I searched the half day for a solution for my problem but it seems like there aren't many posts about this or I'm really dumb...

I know the basics about root, adb, fastboot and such things also I'm using Multirom and I'm not sure if the error messages are due to that

Thank you for your help!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Depr2:
Hello guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to turn off sound bypass while recording. I have Samsung S4 Mini (GT-i9195).

When it is very queit s4 mini doesn't pick up any silent noise. It is probably invented to make inaudible hum, because every microphone and circuit has SNR.

I murmured http://vocaroo.com/i/s0RUNTfTNOYa

You can check soundwave.

I need to turn off that, because I will edit recorded sound independently. Sometimes it destroys quality.

I have rooted phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] epic_task:
Just got a Galaxy Note 3 on eBay because of its nice hardware features, ability to do simultaneous voice and data, and reputation for not being as root-unfriendly as later Galaxy Note devices. Had a Note II for many years; it was great except for the dying USB port.

Here's the deal, though. I want to root the Note 3 without tripping Knox and believe that the way I have in mind will do the trick. Do y'all know how well this would work?

The plan is to take the OTA update to get PH1 really cleanly and then flash a modified PH1 system partition to get root. (For this task, I use Heimdall rather than Odin to talk to Loki.)

The first steps are like this:

Extract system.img.ext4 from the tarball and expand that sparse image to normal size:

unzip SPR-N900PVPUEPH1-20160825110355.zip N900PVPUEPH1_N900PSPTEPH1_N900PVPUEPH1_HOME.tar.md5
tar xf N900PVPUEPH1_N900PSPTEPH1_N900PVPUEPH1_HOME.tar.md5 system.img.ext4
simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img

(The simg2img binary came from building the extras package as described in http://muzso.hu/2012/08/10/how-to-p...nd-userdata.img-from-an-android-factory-image)

Now the fact that I am a full-time Linux user comes into play. I loop-mount the image and copy my su file to it. All but the first of these steps require that I switch to the root user.

mkdir mnt
mount -o loop system.img mnt
cp -p /source/path/su mnt/xbin
chown 0:2000 mnt/xbin/su
chmod 4555 mnt/xbin/su
umount mnt

Now restart the phone in download mode and apply the system partition:

heimdall flash --SYSTEM system.img

At this point the phone should be rooted without my having disturbed either of the boot or recovery images. The Knox indicator should still be 0x0 though the system image would report as Custom.

Going back to the unsullied Official state should, so far as I understand, entail no more than removing the su binary from /system/xbin/. I have thoughts on how to do systemless root on this device--placing files under /data/ so as not to trip the Knox counter--but the whole discussion of that should come later.

These are the salient questions I have now:

1. Is that SPR-N900PVPUEPH1-20160825110355.zip file truly a good starting point?

2. Am I right in letting OTA apply before using that file's system image?

3. Does writing a non-sparse ext4 image work (or indeed, is it rather the case that I would have to expand the image before flashing it with heimdall anyway)?

4. Does all of this indeed leave the Knox counter alone?

5. Is it true that simply removing /system/xbin/su suffice to return to Offical state?

Bonus question: I have in mind using su from Koush's open-source Superuser. Is that still a good choice? Having the source and being able to modify it for the /data/-based systemless root is quite attractive to me (I'm a long-time developer, but unfortunately not so much for Android.)

Thank you for all your replies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evilvoice01:
I can't answer your questions, I will only say that nobody has achieved root without tripping Knox on anything after MI5 I believe. There was a way to update to NAB without tripping Knox but only if you were rooted before the change. If you are on OK3, there is no way to do this without tripping Knox. Heimdall will not be able to flash to system with an unsigned image file. The only signature that will be allowed is a Samsung signed file. Now, once you root and trip Knox, you'll be able to flash system images, but without root, it isn't going to happen without bricking your device if it does work.

Also, going back to official would require you to flash the original untouched system image file, not simply removing su. There are flags that get tripped. Knox is a fuse which is why when tripped, there is no going back

What full firmware version were you on previously, before trying to install the official rom? Give the full format: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.

What version of the official rom are you trying to flash now? Again, give the full format as above. Also, is it a full version rom or an OTA update?

In what order are you flashing the extracted files? Try in this order: 1. boot, 2. recovery, 3. system (don't flash custom). After flashing the 3 files, boot into Recovery mode, then do a factory reset & cache wipe.

Hello Guys,

i need your opinion because i really want to avoid any failure.

PLAN A: I was using the Huawei P9 Plus (bad OTA support) until December. Now I'm using the new Pixel and might want to trade its predecessor with a Nexus 6.

I really like the developer friendliness of the nexus series and i like to do something with the phone. Not simple use it for music, videos and messaging. I like flashing ROM's, Kernels and such things. Something you cannot even dream of with Huawei phones (except they're Nexus devices).

PLAN B: I could sell it on ebay and buy the 6p from the money. But i doubt that I'll get 400 bucks for this device. The screen has some flaws, no cracks but scratches. I doubt that one would recognize them.

Help me out of my first world problems. I mean if i have a backup phone this time i want one that is a real android device.

Thanks in advance guys! i really appreciate your time :)

[P3600 General] lcbKiller:
Hi all,

I'm using a HTC P3600. I saw from the wiki "128MB flash ROM and 64MB RAM".

But when i look at the memory of my P3600, it display "Program total: 48.97MB, Inuse: 28.46MB, Free: 20.51MB". And another is "Storage 53.39MB".

Is it correct? And in the about page, i notice that " Memory: 49.22MB"

So what is the correct RAM of a TRINITY?

And i've also faced to a problem related to playing music.

I use window media to play a song. But it's only able to play around 5-10 seconds, then jump to play another song. I turn on the memory and notice that the free memory continuous decrease from 20.51MB to 6MB. WHen it jump to another song the free memory reset back to 20.51MB and then drop down.

Could you please answer my questions?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryyando:
I unfortunately can not provide some sort of logs but I can tell some sort of history.

So I have some rom that I installed ages ago I believe the zipfile says note4our.

Anyways I dropped my phone a couple weeks ago and noticed that my phone was slowly acting up, as in random reboots, and sometimes it would restart into download mode. Sometimes it would just hang at the very first screen that says kernel in the top left. Luckily I was able to go into recovery and clearing caches seemed to sort me out temporarily. Last night the phone randomly rebooted and has not been able to boot up at all. Just constant bzz bzz reboot lol. I am still able to go to recovery mode, however when I plug it into my computer it seems that I can't get any files on or off via a drag and drop, and I also can't use windows to move files between an sdcard mounted in the phone to the internal storage either. Which is weird since it windows can list all of my files but it can't open it either. I do not have read-only checked. When I try to move files windows says something about the device having stopped hence I can't move.

So I'm guessing there's no way for me to recover my files later? Or will my twrp backup of the just the data portion suffice? Any other things I should try before I go full nuclear and do a complete wipe and try a fresh? Normally I would use this situation to update as well but I figured I would do that after my reflash since I'm sure I would need to update my bootloader or something and I'm still trying to potentially salvage my files if I still can.

So yeah it's been over a year or so, and I need my hand held at this point. Please and thank you and I'll do my best to provide anymore information after work tonight.

[MENTION=1159280]bryyando[/MENTION]

A possible scenario may have been your SuperSU updated to systemless root in Google Play and later you factory reset? That would cause you lose root and fail to boot with existing custom kernel.

If that happened, you could flash the SuperSU zip and it should boot again. Here's an updated version of the original system based SuperSU that the ROM had:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3969639&d=1481813000

If that doesn't work, you could try to flash the ROM without wiping data. Or you could backup data partition but I think you need to include more than one partition to make it valid (but that may only pertain to titanium backup; I'm not sure). Since recovery is working, you could include that partition.

If it comes to trying to the nuclear option, I'd recommend flashing the linked SuperSU after restoring TWRP backup of data.

Maybe one of those options works but I suspect your issue is loss of root. It's a must have with custom kernel. Otherwise, no boot.

If you do boot and recover without losing data, make a backup. Valuable time saver to have a current backup.

So I totally remembered about dirty flashing while at work and proceeded to do that when I got home, before I read this thread. The phone appears to marginally do better as it is rebooting after it at least optimizes some apps... Also I for reference my ROM version is 1.1 and twrp is 2.8.7.0 lol

[MENTION=4375749]samep[/MENTION]

Managed to do a twrp backup of my data partition. Oddly enough my phone rebooted the first time, but made it the second time. For the hell of it I cleared just the caches and then did a bootup. Each time it had less apps to optimize and eventually I made it past the lockscreen, my phone alerted me to my missed messages and then would do a bootloop again. I did notice that the screen had weird pink lines on the bottom right before it vibrated and restarted. Still can't save files onto computer while connected in recovery mode. I luckily found an sdcard that should have enough memory for me to move my pictures and notes that I'm trying to save. Then I'll do an advanced wipe this time. Flash my 1.1 rom, then the supersu you provided and see if it works. If that doesn't then I'll odin up to PE1? Or whatever the new roms need and see if my phone crashes still while on stock and then go from there. Did I miss anything?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Since you mentioned a ROM with Xposed framework, I hadn't considered that Xposed framework may have gotten corrupted causing the reboots. You're on an old ROM. I'd update and not worry with it.

I'd recommend backing up your data that you'd like to keep, wiping internal memory, format data and factory reset, Odin PE2 and clean install freeza's Note 4our beta 3. Kernel and ROM are based on PE2.

The ROM is here but this link points to a known issue you'll need to fix Xposed installer to update or install Xposed modules.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=67383249

But if you're not interested in Xposed at all, you may consider another ROM. I'd recommend being on the right update as you're trying to do already. You may not have noticed freeza updated to PE2 if that was your goal.

If you prefer Xposed framework and custom modules, freeza offers a quick and custom way to get there with minimum flashing.

[MENTION=4375749]samep[/MENTION]

I think we might be on the right track with a potentially corrupted xposed. I did notice that some of modules would stop working sometimes. Also what may be potentially interesting is that my phone does reboot when I am in recovery mode. Although xposed probably wouldn't cause that? I do think my phone is more stable in recovery mode as it seems is running for longer periods while I'm in there vs trying to boot up in which I barely make it past the samsung boot animation. I am slowly moving folders over so I have both a twrp data backup as well as the original files, it is just taking a long time as I am not normally at home to do this. On top of that ODIN flash, I noticed that twrp has been updated to 3.0.2.0 I'm guessing I should update that as well. I adb load the img file correct? The tar is just compressed for easier download?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
The .img version of TWRP is for updating within TWRP or Flashify. You'd need the .img.tar version for Odin. Flash in Odin after flash of stock tar with Odin defaults. Use AP mode for both flashes in separate Odin sessions, closing Odin when done with each flash.

For TWRP flash, uncheck only the auto reboot option in Odin, once flash is started, wait until you see success, 0 failed and then pull USB cable and battery. Wait at least 1 minute and reinstall battery. You must boot directly into recovery on initial boot after TWRP flash or you lose it to stock recovery; it can restore itself if you fail to do it right.

https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar

Did you mean your phone runs longer in safe mode rather than recovery? If safe mode isn't stable, then yes, it's time to take advantage of the update. I think you're doing the right thing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryyando:
I have not tried or was aware of safe mode. I meant that the phone would sometimes reboot while in recovery mode as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I won't say that's terminal. There's been two occasions that I had to flash TWRP again because it was buggy but the phone was otherwise fine after that.

It's possible you have more than one partition corrupted. I wouldn't worry unless you have trouble flashing with Odin.

Hopefully once you're done with Odin and flash the new ROM, you're back to normal.

Seem to be having problems with ODIN, hangs when I load up the tar for a bit and then when I hit run it says 0 succeed 0 fail. Are there separate drivers I need as well?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You need the Samsung driver. Google Samsung SM-N910P support and you should find it. Like this:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-note-4-sprint (scroll down to driver and agree to terms to download)

On your tar, verify the md5 against the zip. If good, extract the tar.md5 from it. When you load that into Odin AP slot, expect about minute delay to verify it. I usually wait before plugging my USB in to download for that reason. You shouldn't try to start the download before it's ready.

When you plug-in in download mode, also verify your phone is added (highlights when added) in the COMM window.

You did the wipes I suggested in post #6? I've seen that happen when internal memory isn't wiped for users with CM coming to back to stock. I've seen it happen with nand erase all for some users but you didn't do that, did you?

When that happens for those doing just the nand erase all without tar and PIT with repartition, the Odin flash doesn't take right. Just boot stock recovery, factory reset and wipe cache partitions and power down , pull battery for at least 1 minute and reinstall, boot to download mode and flash stock tar with Odin defaults. Let it auto boot.

Even if you didn't have CM, I'd consider that before proceeding. I'd even flash TWRP and wipe internal memory if that was skipped as a prep in the previous stock tar flash. I'm not sure if stock recovery factory reset is any different than TWRP but it seems to have made a difference for some users that had flash issues with Odin in the past so consider that before wiping with TWRP.

Try stock tar prep and install without PIT or repartition or nand erase all (Odin defaults only). Hopefully that helps to boot. I'd need to know if you already wiped internal memory before suggesting the PIT. There is s thread with links already posted but it's less of a last ditch effort fix but rather more of a diagnosis for hardware failure. Small chance it works so most likely a bad flash or corruption only fix. Most of these failures seem to indicate hardware failure, IMO. Dropping it hard enough could possibly damage hardware or corrupt. I don't know as fact but I'd think either is possible. Best wishes for resolution.

All I've done is try to Odin stock and boot. After the failed bootloops I tried to twrp. It failed, then I just Odin stock and a new twrp and that's where I'm at now. The 2nd time I Odin stock, I booted into stock recovery upon the initial reset and did a factory reset
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You did verify your md5 against the zip, right? If you got the stock tar from general thread the md5 for zip is given for each AFH upload.

Wipe internal memory, factory reset and wipe your cache and dalvik cache. It should boot. If not try the stock tar once more.

If that's no good, then you may want to consider the repartition with PIT and nand erase all with stock tar loaded. I'll post a link here in a bit. Use at your own risk after consideration. I'd try that last though. If it's hardware failing, all these steps may just worsen its effect.
