CWM does now have an option to flash a file that is received from an ADB push, which basically achieves the same thing. Or at least I think that's what it does, I've not actually tried it. And maybe TWRP has it too, I don't know, not used it.

So I am intending to take the plunge and run a rootkit on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830, because I've yet again lost progress on a game and am sick and tired of it, and I may just want to keep running backups. However, I'm wondering what series of tutorials I'm supposed to run. I'm an absolute blockhead for reading instructions with as little hassle and needing to check further background info (ODIN? What?) as possible, but I also don't want to risk bricking my phone, either. The specs for my phone can be found here. I'm honestly not even sure if this guide is even applicable to my phone or not.

Thank you for this. I was able to get it last night after an hour and a half of bumbling around and getting the stock image to agree with the toolkit posted here. It's good to know what the toolkit was doing and why, and that there is an easier way to get around it for future reference. Now that the USB driver is installed and operational, future endeavors should be a cakewalk. And LG will be getting an earful from me for sending me a phone with a debugging rom on it.

I got my Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch from Sprint with the rest of my family all upgraded to smartphones. Since we got the first ones in august between the four of us who got phones, we have managed to blow through ten "refurbished" phones because of problems they keep having. Anyway long story short we were all going to head in and demand to get upgraded to better phones that won't poo poo the bed constantly and I realized I have no idea how to put my phone back to stock. I thought it would be as easy as flashing a stock rom (with root preferably so I could just nandroid and restore all my stuff back should something go wrong), but I couldn't find any stock roms for my device. The closest thing I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch/ROMs, and they appear to be one-click solutions for people who aren't rooted. I tried it anyway, but just got something that said "success 0 /failures 0" when I ran it if it didn't just outright freeze. Google tells me I need to get the right drivers, but I can plug my phone into my computer just fine.

How do I disable mock locations? Ingress won't let me play because it says they're enabled and I need to go to settings, developer tools etc, but I have no developer tools under settings. Running Cyanogen 7.2. Any ideas? edit: nvm found it; under application settings.

Tunga posted:This is has been my experience with toolkits, problem after problem. And they are virtually powerless to help with the same USB driver issues that you can run into when setting up fastboot anyway. So once you have that installed, you may as well just go ahead and use the command line and know what is happening. The toolkit actually did great with the usb driver. Just one option and it installed it correctly, so the phone connected right away. The issue was that I had to download a 4.2 image from a third party and it threw the kit for a loop. It worked after renaming the file exactly what the kit wanted it to be named. In terms of ease when things work I'd give it an 8. In terms of adaptability when things go wrong I'd give it a 1.

Any suggestions on what to look at if my com.android.phone process dies any time someone hangs up on me? If I end the call all is well, but if I'm hung up on it crashes and then some parts of the phone (such as the lock screen) think I'm on a call until I make or receive another call and hang up first. I know I'm way out in unsupported territory, running 4.2.1 nightlies on an ancient Evo, but other than this one thing it works as well as ICS or better in every way. Still no 4G or FFC but I don't really use either of those and the graphical quirks in RFC preview are a minor annoyance at most.

Does anybody know if Samsung can detect if something is rooted before they have someone physically check it? I picked up a faulty Note 10.1 a few months ago, and I just got off the phone with a rep who claimed that their manufacturer's warranty on the tablet's serial number expired less than a few weeks after the day it was purchased. He wouldn't provide any more information as to why, and insisted I bring the issue to the Best Buy where it was purchased. The call to Best Buy obviously didn't lead anywhere.

If it's like my Galaxy S3 then it has a flash counter, which would have tripped if it was rooted. There are way to reset it to zero (for my SGS3 anyways).

Would resetting the flash counter matter at this point, or is it pretty much too late? The issue is with the touch screen so while it's annoying, I can put up with it if I'm hosed. I was just under the impression that they could only check its counter in person.

Is it possible to restore data from my non-rooted install, onto my rooted one? I had a blizzard authenticator attached that I forgot to disable before wiping. I took backups of everything so I guess I still have that data? I need to get it running again so I can log into my battle.net account and disable authenticators so I can set it up on my CM10 I installed last month. I guess it'd also be cool to have my save data from games too. e: Just restored app + data with titanium backup. Turns out that's not enough for blizz authenticator. Guess I'm never getting my diablo 3 account back seeing as the name on my account isn't the same one as on my ID

The Blizzard Authenticator has a restore code built in that you can use to restore it to another device. No backup or data copying needed.

Oh, I see, it's the same device and you wiped it. I've used Titanium Backup to backup and restore my Authenticator many times and it has always worked for me. Going from an HTC Desire to a GNex to an N4, from Sense to CM to AOSP and other stuff, never had it fail. So I'm not reeally sure why that isn't working for you. You could try forcing closing the app, restoring, rebooting, and seeing if it works that way. Otherwise you will have to call Blizzard. And also write down the code next time! Sorry  .

There was a similar problem for CDMA devices in CM 10.1 last month (gerrit issue, commit). Depending on what "4.2.1" you're actually running, it may be as simple as incorporating that patch.

I updated to 10.1-20130117 and my phone now had a solid yellow notification light while plugged in. I already checked in lightflow and the charging action has nothing enabled, although it is set to display a yellow light. I tried toggling it but that didn't fix it. Any ideas might be causing this? For the record 10.1-20130109 did not do this.

In an unexpected turn of events, the CM10.1 3.0.31/g8cb0ca3 kernel is FAR more effective than Franco.kernel in the latest iteration of the CM10.1 nightlies for toroplus devices.

SMP posted:Every time I restore it its a different serial. If your backup was taken on a non-rooted device as you say, this is expected. The authenticator doesn't store the key data in a place other non-root apps can access, that would defeat the purpose. There would be so many trojans on the Market looking for that it's not funny. If you're not rooted and don't have a custom recovery, any authenticator which can be backed up is horribly insecure.

z06ck posted:You can't make a statement like that without your version of the events... Franco got me ~30-34 hours, new cm gets me ~52 hrs with appreciable LTE use. Dunno if the battery is just better monitored or what but it's a very positive step, it seems. Not much else to be said at this point. Both are in their nightly stages, so it's unfair to judge for the long term. I'll keep loving with it until both stable releases are more or less final.

I get force closes on software I use pretty often (multiple times a day), it's very sluggish (much more so than older stock roms), both responding to touches and launching apps etc. I haven't updated the nightly in a week or two so maybe I'll try that first. Still, if anyone has ideas on better options I'll be very thankful.
