[SIZE=+1]Q4: What does Root/Rooting mean?[/SIZE]Put simply, Rooting your device allows you, and/or rooted apps, to access parts of the Linux based Android software that is your OS, and that you would otherwise not be able to access. These tasks can be as simple and beneficial as backing up your system setting, or as complicated as installing custom ROMs, Kernels, etc.​

3) To enter Recovery: Hold Volume up, home, and power for about 5 seconds then release all buttons. You may need to try this a few times.​
[SIZE=+1]Q8: What is a "logcat" and how do I create one?[/SIZE]For setting up ADB see What is ADB (above) logcat allows us to log what the OS is doing, and possibly offer information if things are not working. its quite simple to create but may be difficult for most to understand. This is a tool a Developer may ask for in detecting issues your device may be encountering.
To use logcat
Code:
adb shell
logcat
To logcat to a certain file do
Code:
adb shell
logcat -d > /sdcard/whatevertexfileyoulike.txt
For a full explanation follow the link in What is ADB​
[SIZE=+1]Q9: Is there an app that will help me create a logcat from my phone?[/SIZE]Yes, however it does have its limitations. If you're stuck in a "bootloop", the app will not work, you will need to use ADB for this. If you're data is not connecting on a certain Rom, (or something similar) within the already booted OS, an app can be rather handy and and more user friendly, for those who don't understand ADB. Apps for logcat can be found in the marketplace​
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What does odexed and de-odexed mean and what is the difference between the two?[/SIZE]Please read HERE​
[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is CWM Recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery) and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)?[/SIZE]They are recovery program's that allows you to backup / restore a full or partial system backup of your device. They also allow you to install flashable .zip files; which is one of the primary installation methods for custom ROMs. They also provides other features such as cache and delvik wiping, battery reset, and other processes. If you are thinking about flashing custom ROMs or just want a really good backup program, it's strongly advised that you to install one of these.​
[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is the 'Flash Counter'?[/SIZE]Your phone's "Flash Counter" is triggered when it detects custom firmwares. This is Samsung's way of knowing that your device has been modified. Please read HERE to understand what this does and how to fix it.​
[SIZE=+1]Q13: What is a ROM?[/SIZE]A rom is like a custom firmware image that is made by a Developer either entirely from scratch, or based off of the official firmware package. Some ROMs contain simple changes like changing icons and adding extra options to things, other more complicated ROMs can change the entire Android experience. Which one you will want to flash, will be entirely up to you. Read carefully, and make sure you understand what you are getting into before you flash.​
[SIZE=+1]Q14: What is a Kernel?[/SIZE]A kernel is the heart of the device's OS. In simplest terms it’s a connection between your apps and your device’s hardware; i.e. the processor, RAM, etc. A custom kernel can dramatically change the way your device’s hardware performs… for the better and/or the worse]​
[SIZE=+1]Q15: What is a Bootloader?[/SIZE]The bootloader is a program code that is executed before the device OS starts up, and that instructs that device to boot “normally”. The bootloader can come locked or unlocked from the manufacture. A unlocked bootloader will allow you to install custom ROMs & Kernels (as well as some other neat things) on your device.​
[SIZE=+1]Q16: What is the best rom for my phone?[/SIZE]While you can ask this as many times as you wish, the only answer is: the one that works best for you! A rule of thumb is to visit a several rom thread's and view what is happening within these rom's. Eventually viewing a few roms will cause the urge to try one that looks good to you.​
[SIZE=+1]Q17: What is the MD5, and what does it do?[/SIZE]It ensures that file's are downloaded correct and complete, in order to avoid issues when installing/using it.​

Hey Tony, I've been searching for information on Apps2SD for this phone and while I will find it (the information) on my own, I think a mini compendium of sorts would make sense in the FAQ section. Unless of course this is a "Google removed the function, end of story," situation.

To an extent I agree, however that would be better suited in a Q&A then a FAQ.

May I suggest adding "what is a modem"
And then laying out the whole dif(or lack there of) between basband/modem/radio. Also in the kies faq I would like to suggest mentioning the kies EFR. Its a very effective and usefull tool.

When you carrier unlock a device it remains unlocked no matter how many roms or recoveries you flash. My note 2 is unlocked and works just fine.
The bootloader is not locked. Flash a recovery using Odin. Twrp is great.

Another one you can use once you're rooted is ROM Manager from Play Store and flash CWM (ClockWorkMod) that's what I've been using.

[GUIDE] How to flash you OG without KDZ Flasher

Hi everybody! Since I'm from Brazil, please, ignore any possible write mistakes I certainly should make. =]
I wanna share my experience with my OG. As I hate any branded firmware, I looked for an unbranded one, but, the only one I found from the huge topic posted in our forum was a Vivo branded .kdz. I was pissed off with this situation, because I had a branded firmware and it's wifi signal, compared to a CM10.2 based ROM, was mediocre. It wasn't stable enough and keeps dropping every time, annoying me. So I was forced to use a CM10.2 based ROM until today, wich I don't like much (believe it or not, I prefer all that trash that comes with the original firmware), then, after long nights awake looking for a solution, here we are! I finally solved it =] so, let's begin.
I WILL NOT POST ANY LINKS. GOOGLE AND XDA ARE YOUR FRIENDS. EVERYTHING I USED IS EASILY FOUND.
DOWNLOADING FIRMWARE
1. For no mistaken firmware downloads, I discovered a good tool called B2B LGMobile Support Tool V1.4.9.0 CRACKED BY OOXTCOO. All you have to do is install it then copy the files in CRACK folder to C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\B2B_Client and replace what it asks.
2. Open B2BCheckApp.exe, write whatever you want in login and password fields, choose your country. Press OK.
3. Click in Applicantion & Download, then Download S/W firmware for cellphone.
4. Choose a country you want, write your phone model (E975, E977, E970, LS970...), click in the magnifier (IMPORTANT), then it you give you choices of branded firmwares and one choice for an unbranded one for each country (usually the one the name of the chosen country and it's abbreviation), for example, BRA/BRAZIL is the unbranded version.
5. Double click on the result shown below, choose a path to place it, then click Download.
6. It's usually compressed in a .zip file, so, when the download finishes, uncompress it, you'll get a .tot file.
FLASHING
1. You now have the firmware downloaded. So, you'll need two more files: LGNPST and LGNPST_LS970.dll. Both you can get links and the tutorial how to install LGNPST and register the .dll in [REPAIR] TeenyBin - Softbrick Quick Fix / Bootloader Unlock [E971, E973, E975, F180*].
2. After downloaded and installed all, just follow the tutorial to flash the firmware.
OBSERVATIONS
1. For brazilian users: I'm using the BIN_LGE977AT-00-V10b-SCA-XXX-MAY-27-2013+0 firmware and it's MUCH better. Unbraded, wifi stable and it keeps all originality of junk apps that comes installed in it. If you wanna a bigger wifi signal, more stable and keep phone originality, this is what you are looking for =] otherwise, just install PAC rom and be happy.
To download it: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/svc/ezls/MESSW/LGE977/BRA/SWP/3/BIN_LGE977AT-00-V10b-SCA-XXX-MAY-27-2013+0.zip
2. There's another method I haven't tested to flash .kdz, .tot, .bin, .whatever: is to use a tool called LGFlashTool and LGE970_20121005_LGFLASHv141.dll, both easily found googleing them. There's a tutorial how to use it too. Just follow it. I read there's some kind of incompatibility with the TeenyBin file, but it seems to be ok with all other files.
3. The program used to download firmwares can be used to download ANY LG firmware. Just search for the model you want.
That's it. Any questions I would be glad to answer. DO NOT PM ME =]

Falae Gabriel, to com problema para encontrar os arquivos .BIN/.TOT não acho em lugar nenhum, nem esse que colocou o link está mais disponível, queria instalar esse que vc recomendou. To precisando de um help seu

[Q&A] [ROM][GB][GSM]AuroraPlay v2.0.0[AdrenoBooster][Updated 06/02/2014]

Q&A for [ROM][GB][GSM]AuroraPlay v2.0.0[AdrenoBooster][Updated 06/02/2014]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][GB][GSM]AuroraPlay v2.0.0[AdrenoBooster][Updated 06/02/2014]. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Mobile Data not working
Hi guys
I'm looking for a little assistance, i purchased one of these phones off ali express ( after the screen went in my old 800i),
when i flashed this rom for the second time around on my new phone everything is working except for the mobile data.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to fix this issue ( i live in ireland and the phone came from god knows where) the data did work on the stock rom so i think its the tft or firmware,
im not a beginner at flashing ( i could follow and install any suggestions and files) but i would be a novice. I dont know anything about terminals or scripts.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Regards
Jason

I'm not 100% sure will it help, but try this:
-download file from attachment and flash it from recovery
If for some reson you can't flash it, extract file named apn-conf.xml , put it in /system/etc and set permission to 644
In that file is the list of apns for various networks (but it might not have your network).

No Data
Hi Bakisha
I just tried this but unfortunately still nothing ( install from zip worked perfect), could it be anything to do with the files i flashed.
kernel= 2.6.32.9 Lupus gb ver 12
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced
Aurora play ver 2.0
In Ireland we use GSM could I have flashed a cdma variant ?
Thanks a million for the suggestion
Update
i just completed a complete re-flash of the kernel rom and firmware ( i did just notice that the phone originated from japan i wish i kept a backup of the original roms etc but as most of the text was in Japanese i didnt see the point lol

Fixed this Issue
Hi Guys this was such a simple fix basically
Go into your phone menu, and go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Data > Access Points
then press menu, and create a new APN with the following:
Name: EE
APN: everywhere (all lower case)
Then press menu, then save. then tap the circle next to the new apn, and restart your handset.

Zuk Z2 (standard) Malware Problem

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum.
I bought the Zuk Z2 (standard) from Oppomart and everything is fine, except for one thing. I installed the Malwarebytes app, which found 1 malware/trojan named: "Android/Trojan.Spy.Smforw.l". It can be found in /system/priv-app/Liulangbao/Liulangbao.apk.
I'm pretty new to Chinese phones, and with help from the ZUI OS 1.9.044 ROM posted on this forum (along with an explanation of how to flash it) I managed to flash the original ROM (which turned out identical to the ROM from Oppomart). Sadly, it still contained the aforementioned malware.
Then I tried removing this app/malware with several apps from the Google Play Store, which didn't work (they need root access).
I found an explanation of how to root my Zuk Z2 via http://androiding.how/root-zuk-z2-and-z2-pro-install-twrp-recovery/. That website mentioned XDA as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk...andard-pro-t3415395/post67680272#post67680272.
Do you reckon this is a trusted method? I have never rooted a phone before (it was quite an achievement for me to even flash a "new" ROM). Will I be at risk of bricking the phone?
My questions to you are: is this app/malware very hazardous? What does it do? Is my phone safe to use? What is the easiest way to delete it? Or should I try a completely different approach to this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if you need additional information!

Google tells me that liulangbao is a traffic exchange bot, similar to Jingling(this is for PC), people use it to exchange "visits" on others website(most of them are ad to make cash) with their own visit to others in background, it will for so use resources, internet data, and maybe install other viruses through malware-sites. I think you can delete that app just rooting your device, installing lucky patcher and if it finds that app in system you can directly uninstall it. Otherwise use root, and an root explorer to find that .apk and delete it.
However you'll need to root your device in any way.
That web-site seems legit, it publics various root methods for multiple devices, and it's well organized.
Give it a shot, being rooted is better than botted

Thank you very much KronozFX for your advice! I may give that a shot. Do you think the risk of bricking the phone is high using this rooting method?
Does anyone else have advice?

Sure, no worries. It's actually not my phone as I bought it for the missus. She likes the phone a lot (coming from a Huawei Ascend P7), let me break it down in the pros and cons she has encountered.
Pros:
- It's very quick
- It snaps photos right the instance you press the button (no delays)
- Picture quality is good (although we both aren't too critical)
- Good battery life. It lasts a lot longer than her previous phone (on lollipop with a 2500 mAh battery which she often had to connect to a powerbank during the day)
- The fingerprint scanner is a treat. It works every time and quickly as well (you don't have to wake the phone/screen before the scanner works)
- The size of the phone. She would have preferred an even smaller device, but there's no real contender in the sub 5" category.
- Premium look and feel
Cons:
- Still some Chinese although language is set to English (e.g. the weather app which is embedded in the homescreen)
- Some apps won't work (properly). For example Twilight (the app that filters blue light) crashes immediately when opened and the phone won't receive messages in WhatsApp if the app isn't opened (and locked via recent apps). So she had to choose a different blue light filter app and she needs to constantly have WhatsApp opened.
- No Dutch (which isn't too big of an issue for her)
I hope this was of help to you!

Great story dude. It was like you accidentally murdered someone and asking for help.

Calibration Data for Duo_camera needed

After replacing the mainboard of my m8 the dual_camera has some problems and as I red in a other thread it seems that the camera needs to be calibrated. Therefore I would try to flash a working calibrationdata.dat to see if it changes anything.
The CalibrationData.dat is located at /data/misc or at /data/misc/camera. It would be great, if anybody could upload this file !!!!
Edit:
If there is no CalibrationDat.dat in /data/misc/camera you have to create one:
via adb from windows-computer in dos-window and in the adb-directory:
adb root
adb shell
dual_camera -R
exit
(with "adb pull /data/misc/camera/CalibrationData.dat" the file will be copied to your computer )
via terminal-app on the phone:
su
dual_camera -R
now you can copy he file with any root-explorer

Push ...

come on guys, more than 100 views and nobody can help me ?!
I takes 5 min. to create and upload the file, PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Pushhhhh, Please upload the file. I really need it

I believe I would have to root my phone to do this is this correct? If so is there a temp root for the M8 running marshmallow?

No idea how to help you. The file was requested by OP whom I believe knows what he was talking about.

What's happening is when the camera app is launched an error appears (duo camera is blocked) duo camera is not blocked. What can be done?

Try the RUU, if your version of the M8 has an RUU. Otherwise, restore the proper stock TWRP backup (stock ROM) using the thread by ckpv5 in his signature.
If the problem is with the software, restoring with RUU or stock TWRP backup will fix it. If that doesn't work (especially RUU) than you probably have a hardware failure.
