Hello,
I just switched over from having iPhones since version 3 to a new Samsung Galaxy S4. Being grandfathered into AT&T’s unlimited data plan, I would like to continue to use PadNet on my new S4 like I used on my Jailbroken iPhone 5. In starting to do some research last night, I see that rooting is a bit more complicated that just downloading and running the evasi0n Jailbreak executable. It appears that rooting application I run has to be specifically for my AT&T SAMSUNG-SGH-1337 running Android 4.3, with Baseband 1337UCEMK2. Being I’m pretty good at following directions, I was hoping that I could someone who’s knowledgeable can provide me with specific links for accessing the correct rooting software. Also, while I have Kies installed and I used it to transfer my contacts and calendar appointments to my new S4, when I look in device manager under “Other devices” I don’t see anything that says Samsung S4 but I do see an icon that says “Unknown device” so on top of the rooting software, I believe I need to have the latest USB drivers installed on my Windows 7 32 Bit desktop as well. I also understand that I can activate the native Hotspot capabilities of my new S4 after I root it, but I’m concerned that it may not have the capability to hide my usage from the carrier as PadNet.
Thanks!
Joe

Thank you for your quick response! The primary reason I created this posting is because I did look around the S4 Android Development website but I'm still not sure where to download the S4 USB drivers for my Windows 7 desktop and being that it appears that I must use the correct rooting software for my AT&T SAMSUNG-SGH-1337 running Android 4.3, with Baseband 1337UCEMK2 so I was hoping that someone can point me to the correct links for accessing the correct rooting software as well.

Help with Rooting My New S4
Hello,
Turns out that when I clicked on your embedded link, it took me to the correct page for rooting my S4. As for the SD card, I have to run out to a store to purchase a SD Memory card reader for my PC but wanted to check with you to see if my existing 8GB SD card is big enough. I assume it is but wanted to check in case I need to get a bigger one.

Hi im a relative newbie to the forum and have seen threads about upgrading my WM5 to a new Rom? version of WM6 but I have some basic questions which dont seem to be covered.
1. What exactly is a ROM upgrade?
2. The thread I saw for rom upgrade had several different version of WM6, Im totally confused about which one to use?
3. Will I be able to revert back to my working WM5 with a hard reset if I dont like the upgrade or it goes wrong?
4. Are there any risks associated with upgrading to WM6?
5. What does 'radio' mean? (as in my system info below)?
Sorry for seemingly basic question but hope someone can help.
Thanks

Click to expand...

Changing the "firmware" in your hermes, generally to an higher/newer/better version. There are several parts in a rom, bootloader, OS, radio, extrom, etc... you can choose if you want to upgrade them all or only some parts.

You should read more before attempting to upgrade then.

no, you'll have to flash the t-mobile rom (available in the wiki) to go back to what you have now. Some parts will not be reversible depending on what you upgrade, read more below.

Yes, too many to list them, read through the hardSPL & bricked devices thread and you'll see.
qbaser said:
5. What does 'radio' mean? (as in my system info below)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The radio is a separate subsystem on your hermes which handles the GSM communication part of the device.
You have radio 1.05 which has radio bootloader 0106 (very old). If you upgrade to a radio with radio bootloader 0108 you will not be able to flash back your original radio, you'll get a No-GSM error which will make your device a brick unless you have HardSPL on it. You can safely upgrade to radios with radio bootloader 0107 and then go back to your original radio without problems.
Well Ive just read the wiki upgrading for begginers guide as well as the "common upgrading problems". ...and im very panicky about doing the upgrade. (even should I do everything by the book it could still be a brick from what I read).

Well, if you flash Olipro's Hard SPL you are more protected from a bad flash than if you don't. But yes, flashing unofficial roms always has the potential to "brick" your device, and your carrier will make you pay for repair or replacement if they detect that you have non-standard components flashed into your phone.
If you follow all the instructions and solutions provided here by the knowledgeable ones you will most likely not have any problems. If you skip steps or don't heed their advice you could end up with an expensive paper weight.
if you're not yet comfortable upgrading, read some more and ask some more questions. don't rush it.
ask more questions?? I was fired down by my initial post (by some!), how dare I ask any more questions?
You will be fired down again if you prove in your post you have not read the basics... you'll not be fired down if your post shows you've already read something and know what you're talking about. The forums are here for asking, so don't be afraid if you have read, searched and don't find the answers to your question.
OK thanks POF., ii accept that.
Well, I think im sticking with WM5. its just too riscky the thought of having a brick when I have a house made of them already.

Just to let you know, I was pretty hesitant to upgrade for a while there as well. I had the stock HTC 7/22/06 ROM on my phone, and I was getting tired of having to reboot it every day or two after it wouldn't turn on or would lock up.
I upgraded to Black 2.0 Cingular edition 2 days ago (I'm on Cingular). I followed the directions posted on this website: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=26
I flashed to HardSPL, no problem, by downloading the files he indicated and following instructions to the letter.
Then I proceeded to upgrade radio, and had an odd thing happen - the upgrade program did not recognize the SPL that I had put it - so I forced HardSPL for both radio and ROM upgrades (separate steps) and it worked fine.
Now my device seems very stable, radio reception is good, battery life is good, and it's relatively speedy, but I admit I haven't had a week or two yet to really see how it works over time. The speed difference from WM5 to WM6 is not quite so amazing ... menus go a little faster, reading from directories is faster, but reading emails in the new HTML email reader is actually a little slower, and the calendar has a new time-bar overview that makes it just a touch slower. The new version of Pocket Informant runs great thought, and pretty speedy.
Rom Version: Pro Black 2.0
Rom Date 1/4/07
Radio Version: 1.40.30.00
Protocol Version: 32.73.7020.16H
The more you read and understand the more comfortable you will feel with the process.
Yes, there are horror stories in these threads but the vast majority are the result of people flashing a rom without doing their homework first.
Read the threads on the various roms and see what the people who have already flashed are saying. Study the guides and understand everything that is talked about in them.
There are no guarantees in this hobby, but the cooks turn out some very reliable roms and the the guides are very well written and easy to follow.
The folks here are very helpful if you have tried to help yourself first. The "venting" that sometimes occurs is because it gets tiring to read the same basic questions day in and day out when those questions have already been answered dozens of times.
If you do have a problem, and your question shows that you have done things right and have already tried to solve it yourself, and you provide good information about the problem then the folks here will gladly assist you in trying to solve it.

If you depend on the phone, like for work or personal communications, and can't stand to be without it, I strongly recommend you stick with the ROM's your carrier puts out. WM6 is still iffy -- it's not really ready for prime time on the Hermes/TyTN's yet. It works, mostly, but there are still some really weird things that will occasionally happen.
Most carriers will be putting WM6 out within the next few months; if you can wait for stable carrier tested and supported software...
Otherwise, welcome. Follow the instructions, step by step, focus on HardSPL first. Oh, and a helpful hint -- don't let anyone near your phone while it's flashing. If that USB cable falls out, you can toast your phone (I learned this the expensive way).

LOL....fair enough!
The reason we get a bit touchy on here when these sorts of questions have been asked is because alot of this information has been made readily available by pof, olipro,walshy etc.... (you know who you are!) yet some users decide to not bother reading it then come back moaning when they brick thier device!!
Its most likely you will go without bricking your device if you dont steam into flashing when you havent quite read up and understood everything yet
My guides are there to help you through upgrading a ROM successfully however what I would suggest is that you DEFINATLY follow THIS GUIDE to flash olipros Modified bootloader (HardSPL) to your device, this is the first step to safeguarding your Hermes against a dodgy flash and will quite easily save you from sending the device back if there is a problem. You can do this without worrying as it is a simple procedure if you follow the guide exactly.
The next step could be to upgrade your Radio version which again is described in THIS GUIDE. Once you have done those give your device a test for a few days and see if it has improved at all (your GSM/3G reception SHOULD be better and more stable with the new radio).
The ROM you are running is quite a dated one, since HTC hasnt released any roms (officially ) but there are some upgrade options aailable to you that dont involve going all the way to WM6. Id recommend reading through the guides and following the threads mentioned, give them two upgrade stages a shot (do them in the order i specify though) and you should be on your way to earning your first flashing badge

Flash Hard-SPL... the only way you will then be able to brick your phone then is if you flash a new radio and somehow time it to pull out the cable when the Radio BL updates.
you'll be just fine, just read the ****ing wiki

We all started as beginners, but sometimes (mwa..ALWAYS) you need to read first before you ask any questions..
Lets just say..its not that hard to upgrade your device..but you need all the info/wisdom you can get.. so..read first (WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI WIKI) and than ask..
And welcome!
Thanks everyone for your support. THink someone said if I use it for busines (which I do) then I ought to stick with the phone as it is. I know I can read up but, to me, SPL is a dodgy, talentless football league in Scotland. Nuff said.

First, I am sorry if I am creating this thread in the wrong forum.
I just got my Rogers branded HTC TyTN!!!! The first thing I would like to do is upgrade to WM6. I flashed my Moto V3, but that has been my only experience modding a phone to date. I realize the Rom Archive has been taken down, but I am still hoping to get help here.
I have a friend who bought a Cingular 8525 off eBay, and he used this software update obtained direct from HTC. Can I use this?
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
I would rather use an unbranded ROM if opossible, but I haven't had much luck hunting them down on public torrent trackers, or any other p2p programs.
I know I am a relative newb, so I hope you guys can be patiant with me.
Thanks in advance to all those who help!
SEARCH THE FORUM!!!!!!!! My GOD WASTE OF SPACE!!!!!
I wouldnt suggest using an official update not made for your particular device.. you would be better off finding a custom rom that works with ur TyTn.

I spent all night searching the forums, and didn't find what I'm looking for.
If you really want to help, link me to a relevant thread.
ok first off, swearing isnt going to help you in this thread sir.
Secondly I suggest taking a look at 'The Hermes Guide', by reading the announcement on the top of EVERY hermes forum (read this before posting) you would have found the thread about my guides, also you would have found all the info you need in the wiki.
By starting a new thread you have shown us you didnt follow these small steps and have tried to jump in 'at the deep end'. These devices are worth ALOT of money so you REALLY do need to read,read and read some more before following the path you wish to take. Its a likely situation that if you dont quite understand everything you will join the MANY MANY members who have a bricked device in THIS THREAD (alot of which now have very pricey paperweights).
Both yourself and I do not wish this to happen so please take some time to read through the wiki, threads and guides and your device should be working as you want it to in no time.

Thanks for your response.
For what it's worth, I did spend a signifigant amount of time in the wiki, and didn't find what I was looking for. I will look again this evening.
I apologise for swearing, but I really can't stand these guys who wait for the first opportunity to post a "search function" response with the typical condecending attitude.
Likewise, I'm sure they can't stand me.
Thanks again for your assistance.

You're actually getting some excellent advice here:
Madcap180: I wouldnt suggest using an official update not made for your particular device.. you would be better off finding a custom rom that works with ur TyTn.
austinsnyc: SEARCH THE FORUM
With that said, I'd strongly advise you to first upgrade to your vendor's (Rogers) latest wm5 rom & get to know the device under those conditions. When you do upgrade to wm6, this wm5 Rogers knowledge/experience will help you. You'll have an idea of what your Tytn can do. remember, your Tytn is NOT a Cingular 8525. Roms for Tytn are different from 8525 in a few ways, but identical in many.
HTC will release an official wm6 rom in near future. Wait for that. It's my understanding that Rogers has not announced the Rogers wm6 upgrade will be available for their branded Tytn. It may happen..it may not. Meanwhile, a customized HTC Tytn wm6 from this forum will eventually be a great choice. However, cut your teeth on the Rogers wm5 latest & HTC wm6 when it arives. What you do after that will mean so much more.

If youve done everything explained in this guide "http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/" and you get that error do as it says. Worked for me, Still jumping in at the deep end is a bad idea. I would ask whats lacking from your current rom before upgrading o something you may not need.
(i'm guessing one of the roms on that link is what you're after)

Perfect Examples
MalibuBlue's thread seems to me a perfect example of what some of the Senior Members have long been advocating, that is, that if you don't like a question or feel it stupid, then ignore it--there's no requirement that one send negative/flaming replies. MalibuBlue could have done his homework better; Austinsync could have ignored his question (and that early question submitted from noobie austinsync was GREAT example of what it's like to be a noob!!); however, calmer heads prevailed, the best advice was given, Malibublue figured things out and is now less of a noob and more an experienced operator and will in all likelihood continue to learn and become a valuable contributor to the forum.
I still consider myself a noob although flashing ROMs is second nature now; eventually I want to put together a small section of info, gleaned from all the forum sources, that concisely and simply describes the first few steps a noob should do--written in straightforward English with the occasional reminder to READ, THINK, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, then READ SOME MORE; perhaps even use some PM's. My personal gratitude to those Senior Members/Mods who maintain a high standard and keep this forum enjoyable for everyone.

OR unlock and install a custom ROM W/ root. I have no idea what to do,and i can see asking would probably end up with me getting a "let me google that" link

Regardless of what page your question is on, it is asked multiple times a week and has been answered MANY times.
YES you can unlock with the ASUS unlock tool on JB assuming you have a valid serial number on your tab. Then you can flash one of the root tools to the device once you have set up TWRP. Search for Urkels fresh start in the prime forums.

I know it is annoying to see the same qustions many times but let me tell you that I had the same issue and spent half the day yesterday trying to get Adb to work and countless other ways to root jb. Im not new at this as I have ten or more phones and tablets and have never not been able to root after a couple of hours of searching till yesterday on my prime.
All im saying is don't be so quick to assume someone didn't search. Thanks for the info on urkel's root sounds promising and will try when I get home because I got so frustrated last night I gave up trying to root my prime.

Would it be normal that I cannot use the Asus Unlocking App v6 ?
It says it's for ICS (at that time, it meant for people to move to ICS and leave Honeycomb), so I don't know if it's still revelant for JB ... JB being much closer to ICS than HB... right ?
So now I am thinking, could it be S/N related ?
Now that I think about it, it starts to make sense : ever since I sent my tablet to ASUS via RMA for major problem (couldn't recognize the docking station), I could not, not even once, get an OTA. Even my manually checking for updates when it has been available for days ... I heard OTA works with S/N ... could it be that ? Could it be that my S/N is not in Asus database ?
What do you think ?
I am desperate to unlock my Prime, since I may know a way to root it ...

My prime came back from RMA today (broken screen, FOC replacement), with JB, and showing 'this device is unlocked' on the boot screen.
Replaced parts were screen and 'MAIN_BD'.
Without trying the Asus unlock tool, I unstalled TWRP and then manually installed su. So, if you've not already tried, it might be worth flashing TWRP using fastboot.
To the people than live and breath the art of ROM flashing unlocking and all things "Voodoo" related I am sure its very annoying to get lots of repeat questions. To those is search of answers it is also depressing not to find them.
I have been searching for days (on and off as also need to work etc) to find out how to root my Transformer Prime with Jelly Bean and so far not found the answer, just comments about "its been answered many times" .... I am sure it has but its still very hard to find .... big thanks to all those that help

To put it plainly, the answer is actually out there, i needed to seek some advice and i found some, but i found it by blind luck.
It was long winded but actually what was written actually made sense after i'd done it.
The answer your looking for is here my friend, you just need to search and find it, i know that flashing your prime can be a daunting process but bear with it, it's worth the pay off.
Sorry i can't help more, i was spoon fed my tutorial and my apologies for not having the brains at the moment to recall (too much wine )
EDIT: The reason why people get pissed off with the re asking of questions, is because if like me you run a thread, then your used to the same arsey questions being asked daily, and being the soft heart that i am, i always tend to just answer them, instead of saying "Look back a few pages you child of satan!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'm not that cold
Either way the answers are there and there are Some cool people out there who will help, i guess it's just a case of getting lucky with it,
I personally have RMA'd my prime and will probably get it back locked to fecking jelly bean and no way around it, but hey so long as the camera works, it may be worth it
Good luck m8, and if you do get it working, why not try to write a dumbass version here
PS: What does RMA actually mean? Return to manufacturer for Action??? or something?? I'm not sure. answers on a postcard
US Cellular LTE SG3 - SCHR530, Was build ALK5 on 4.1.1 and was rooted (using free version mskip's Toolkit) and all was fully functional. When the 4.1.2 android update became available for my phone, I performed manual 4.1.2 download/installation, which completed successfully. Build AMD4.
Donated/upgraded to mskip's pro version Toolkit. Began the re-root - exact build wasn't listed, picked closest, completed process, phone was rooted BUT lost all access to camera and any apps that use camera failed due to camera fail. Unable to find a cure for this particular issue, I used the toolkit to unroot my phone. I RE-applied Samsung android update 4.1.2 and have remained UNrooted until last night.
Ran the Toolkit, toolkit auto-updated to the latest version released (says 4.1.2 build AMD4 is supported) , prepared to root phoneagain I find this exact build (AMD4) is not listed, so picked closest one, completed process, phone is rooted..... BUT AGAIN I have no use of camera!
How can I fix this and stay rooted? Or do I resign myself to not having a rooted phone in order to keep functionality of my camera?
Thanks for any helpful insights to this issue.

I am having the exact same issue, I need my camera and my root, might have to go back to 4.1.1 to get it though.
I'm also on a donated toolkit, please post if you find a solution.
This is the i9300 forum, you are in the wrong place. Also have you tried contacting mskip to raise a query?

Thank you for your acknowledgement, I truly appreciate it.
I did know this is the i9300 forum, and I have tried to contact mskip a number of times, including directly in the thread that the most recent toolkit was announced. Apparently I cannot post in there (?) due to not having enough posts and not being a developer; at least that's what the "error message" is when I tried. And then the advisement that I must post questions in a Q & A. I guess I'm lost!
In any case, I did several searches for the camera issue combined with rooting and I ended up in this forum. I would greatly appreciate it if you could steer me towards the proper place to post - I haven't seen a specific forum for the US Cellular model SG3, and I'll admit - I'm greatly out of practice these days in my forum using skills.

Still no love for my issue, and almost a month later, still the choice of root & no cameras or cameras & no root :crying:
Toolkit support says US CELLULAR MODEL LTE[SCH-R530] support should use AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III forum, can anyone verify for me if that is the correct place to try to post about my problem? Thank you very much!

It does seem that most of that info is out of date and there is no real home for the US Cellular LTE Samsung Galaxy S3, and as far as the other methods, I am just not that savvy - the automated toolkit is slick, but I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

Will the S6 Edge 128gb be launched all over or just few countries
I am considering switching from Verizon to AT&T, for a few reasons:
1.) There seems to be a trend of AT&T devices getting updates substantially sooner than Verizon devices
2.) Due to using GSM instead of CDMA, it's easier/cheaper to find unlocked/off-contract devices for AT&T
3.) I live and work near a major metro area, so coverage should easily be as good
Thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks.

Att and Verizon like to lock their bootloaders. I haven't even put my pre-order in for my T-Mobile device because I don't know if they are going to follow the trend of att and Verizon. But I guess it depends on what your plan on doing with your device.

Okay then, I have a T-Mobile Galaxy s6 Edge and our dev forum is a ghost town. Which ROMs are safe for me to flash? I'm running latest doi1 update. Can I flash pretty much any rom from any s6 Edge forum as long as its 5.1.1?
As far as it is from your own android version , you can use any rom.
To see whether it is safe or not read what other users have replied , it will give yoyu a general idea about the bugs and features of the rom
Please press the thanks button...
wow a whole topic for self promotion, this will soon be tumble weed
i recently got an s6 edge updated to 5.1.1 and was suffering from extreme battery drainage during idle but then i figured out that the drain stopped once i put the mobile network to gsm only..it's a temporary fix but is still annoying as i have to do these extra steps in order to turn mobile data on and also can't leave data on as it sips the away battery every minute..can anyone guide me to a fix? or i was wondering to flash the stock 5.1.1 upate via odin as a factory reset has failed to fix the issue.can anyone tell me about the most debloated stock firmware available as in my countrys version even whatsapp comes pre installed.
Help with system storage
Hello, Im using a t-mobile galaxy s6 edge. I have flashed twrp and rooted, running unikernel and extresolite deodexed with optional aroma package. My system storage is showing 7.2gb im not sure why as my whole rom should not be more than 2gb all together. Can someone possible link me to a thread where I can find how to remove all of this system storage? Its also th 32gb version of the phone btw.
Is there a flashable .zip for the latest modem? I'm using the international s6edge.
Thanks in advance.

Verizon Software update question

his is regarding update LMY47X.G925VVRU4BOG9.
Model SM-G925V, Currently running Android version 5.0.2
New G6 edge owner as of a few weeks ago. I keep getting an update alert for this LMY47X.G925VVRU4BOG9 patch. The first few times I tried this, the screen crashed to a boot screen and I selected reboot. Today, it seems like the update went through successfully and I saw the "Updating apps" screen running up to 280 or so (Which I find strange as I haven't transferred my old apps to this phone yet and doubt I have that many in the first place.)
Unfortunately, when the home screen comes up I get the SAME pop-up telling me about that the same software update. Nothing happened. No changes in the screen's appearance and, indeed, I am still running version 5.0.2. I tried installing the patch again but the same thing happens.
Any ideas? FYI I am using the SIM card from my old phone as I utilized the BB method to obtain Verizon contract upgrade with 2 year contract but not lose my unlimited plan. Could that play a factor?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem with my galaxy y.Ask the Samsung guyz, they can guide you on this
.
.also are you rootted or did something custom with ur phone??
If that update is not a big issue for you, simply turn off its notifications....
Please press the thanks button...
Help is always appreciated
Okay, I currently have a SM-G925T I'm not sure whats up with it, but I installed the OH8 update and was no longer able to root the device and install a custom ROM without being locked out of my phone by KNOX. I thought that the custom rom had removed all KNOX filed but I guess not. After flashing the stock rom back on to the device it updated again to the Canadian DOJ7 update? not sure why. anyway, installed unikernel, and the sick as hell rom (testing it out). I can use wifi calling and texting only (the phone says connected to t-mobile only while I am on wifi, otherwise I cannot use mobile data or sms.) Am I doing something Wrong during the flashing process??? a little more info, I have a galaxy s5 stock that can use mobile data on the same sim perfectly fine so it is not the data connection with t-mobile, also before the update everything was working fine. I am also not new to this, I just have no clue why his is happening, tried going back to stock and re-flashing about 15 times now still same problem. please help
Appreciate all the help in advance!
Soft Bricked Edge after system wipe on TWRP
Hi guys!
So I was going to flash a custom rom to my rooted galaxy s6 edge (Canadian Version) and I had flashed TWRP using Odin. So as I was wiping the data before flashing my rom I clicked off on "system" accidentally and now my phone's stuck on the boot image of Galaxy S6 Edge. I can't go into recovery, all I can do is go into download mode and use ODIN. But every time I flash TWRP it says success but it nothing happens when I hold down volume up + home + power. When I tried to flash the stock Canadian firmware ODIN keeps failing to do so.
I don't know proper forum etiquette but this is a link to the thread I started under troubleshooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/accidental-wipe-galaxy-s6-edge-using-t3241932
Hi All,
i have flashed the crisscross rom bu asc1977. Now my problem is, there is his Crisscross logo on bootup instead of stock Galaxy S6 Edge Welcome logo. I have flashed different roms via zipand odin (also stock rom) but nothing does change. What can i do to solve this and go back to stock. Thanks... (and sorrry for my bad english )
