Possible solution for Galaxy Note 2 N7100 WiFi problem topic

Dear friends
I'm going to describe the steps i took for fixing the WiFi problem of my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
The problem started last january, when the device got the latest 4.4.2 update from Samsung. By that time, it was not rooted.
WiFi started to turn off by itself, WiFi slider was grey and wont turn on again, searching for ip adress, etc...
I did everything i could find over the internet and nothing fixed it, after 1 month of search i was about to give up.

1. Flash stock 4.3 ROM from Sammobile using Odin 3.09, in my case the ROM was this:http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...00ZTOEMK3_ZTO/
I tried this with the lates 4.4.2 ROM without success.

2. Do a data wipe/factory reset from the stock recovery utility.

3. Flash philz_touch_6.48.4-n7100 recovery utility using Odin 3.09. File here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...n7100.zip.md5/

4. Root your device by installing SuperSU-v2.40 from philz recovery utility. Get it here: http://download.chainfire.eu/641/Sup...erSU-v2.40.zip

5. Install NI1 Bootloader using Odin 3.09 with the BL tab, get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54320353

6. Install NI1 patched modem from philz recovery utility, get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m950i4l27c...modem.zip?dl=0

7. I'm very happy with Android 4.3 and WiFi working again, if you wanna try to update to 4.4.2, do it at your own risk. :)

Good Luck

Possible way to revemoe Fire TV banner ad and pre-roll video ads topic

Hi All,

I didn't see solution as far as how to remove the ad banner that shows above the Home screen on AFTV. I have not see this ad on my AFTV as of this morning, here is what i know.

Few days i got new box it was running the latest stock firmware and i saw the banner ad so annoying. I also read on AFTVNEWS site and on this form that folks running pre rooted firmware and ad still shows up.

if you are running pre-rooted firmware 51.1.4.1_514013920 try downgrading to 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated, i am running this i have no ads on the banner.

here is the guide to downgrad or upgraded firmware, remember you must be rooted!!

Possible hardware failure? Unable to boot - claims no OS and won't mount data etc topic

I think my phone may have had a catastrophic hardware failure but I am hoping not and maybe some of you clever people can help me resurrect it.

I have been running KK ParanoidAndroid without any problems for a few months. Yesterday I tried to boot it up and after showing the Google screen the screen went black then a single horizontal white line appeared 3/4 way down the screen. It stalled there forever so I pulled the battery and booted into TWRP recovery. It seemed to take a lot longer than normal but did boot into TWRP OK.

Once there however TWRP reported no backups, no OS and no storage space (0 MB). I couldn't mount any partitions,. I tried factory reset but it appeared to fail and just made the phone vibrate for a while. The log shows:

Unable to mount - /system, /cache, /data etc and something about no valid partition for MTP

Then the screen greyed out, faded to black and the phone powered off. Now it seems pretty much non responsive.

Any thoughts, other than bin it and get a new phone?

Is battery drain possible due to hardware damage? topic

So over the course of time I have used many different ROMs and also have had 5 batteries for my Note so far.

All ROMs gave me terrible battery life, except the stock android for around the first year, eventually it started giving me terrible battery life too.

So that got me wondering, is it possible that some kind of faulty hardware on my Note's motherboard is causing those battery drains?

[Q] Is it possible to unlock a Sprint Galaxy Note 4? topic

I bought a Galaxy Note 4 under contract with Sprint, but when I moved recently, I noticed that the service for Sprint was horrid in my area. I'm willing to pay out of my contact, but I'm not sure if Sprint Galaxy Note 4's are able to be unlocked and used on GSM. Any help?

[Q] Is it possible to remove "Activation" dialog at startup? topic

I am using the device ONLY as a gaming device and have no plans to activate it through Verizon, however, everytime I turn it on, it asks me to activate on the network. I can simply close this and avoid it, but I would prefer to remove this entirely if possible. I tried to root the phone but no matter what rooting tool I use, it fails. Every time.

Can I please get some help? I am more of a Windows Phone person so I don't know much about Android rooting and modding.

Possible Root Method? topic

While figuring out how to root a friend's Note II, I stumbled upon this thread here . I haven't tested it on the Note 4 yet, but tried it out on my S4. Of course they are different, but the S4 wasn't able to be rooted through normal methods. I was just curious if anyone wanted to try it out.

Mods, I don't know if this is in the right section, but since I didn't create it, I didn't put it in the Development Section.

Thanks for reading, I just wanted to share. Happy rooting!

[Q] How is it possible to brick a phone? topic

I'm kind of expert in the PC/laptop world, but a little rookie in Android and smartphones world. I don't get how a phone can get bricked.

As far as I know, an Android device has internal memory, and a portion of this internal memory is ROM (read-only memory), where the OS/firmware is installed. It's ROM because you don't want to mess around changing things of the OS, because you're not supposed to change things of the OS for the sake of a correct behavior of the phone.

The thing is that if you accidentally mess up something in the OS/firmware, you can, or should be always able to, re-install the OS again and start all over again. I mean, if I delete some Windows files in my PC and completely mess Windows up, I can always turn off the PC, turn it on, go to BIOS menu, boot from a Windows CD and re-install it. No problems at all.

So... where's the BIOS in Android? The recovery menu in Android is like the BIOS in Windows?
Bricking a phone is like damage the software of the hard disk drive (windows) or is it like mess up the BIOS?

Thanks!

[SCREEN] Possible Galaxy S6 SystemUI (statusbar and recent) ;) topic

I'm not 100% sure, but this could be the Galaxy S6 Statusbar and Recent Menu.

1.Reorder button instead of all toggles button


2. No more all toggles page but with 2 finger you'll enter directly in Reorder toggle mode


3. Completely clear Recents menu


4. If you swipe up a "close all" button will appear.



Repeat that I'm not 100% sure that this feature will be used in S6 but pretty much confident.


How do I get this? By editing SystemUi of my Lollipop S4. (there is various "project zero" reference).

Weather line graph? possible? topic

Hello, I wonder if there's possible to make a line graph with Zooper Widget Pro?
I trust the yr.no weather and would like this graph yr.no/sted/Sverige/Norrbotten/Lule%C3%A5/time_for_time.html
I know there's a widget itself for this but it simply just grabs the image itself and I can't customize it at all.
So I wonder if there's possible to somehow build weather graph in Zooper?

[Q] Is it possible to get microphone specs / infos within an Android app ? topic

Hello,

This is my first question (searched for the answer but did not find !) and I hope I'm posting at the right place.

I'm currently working on an Android app, and I would like it to be able to get access to the microphone sensitivity or at least model / reference.
I found a bunch of applications on the play store which can tell almost everything about built-in cameras / sensors etc. but nothing concerning the microphone.
I get a feeling that this info may be somewhere in /dev but can't manage to get to it.

Thanks a lot !

Adblocking on Stock Lollipop - possible? topic

Hi guys,
so after quite some time with custom Roms I decided to go stock again as somehow I don't need root at all. Well, that's not true. I miss AdAway.
As there is no possibility to root the stock rom, is there ANY AdBlocker that works on Lollipop? AdBlock Plus doesn't (yet).

Would this be possible? (D850) topic

Would any of you guys be able to pull out the stock kernel and the Lollipop baseband from the latest (Lollipop) update dor D850? I will be experimenting with other carrier roms, but I need those two key components to make this work. If you would direct me to where I could be find them, I'd be foreverr in your debt. Thanks.
