I'm asking because I haven't found any answer's..
And a reply with no help what so ever, is also kinda unnecessary.

No actually ^^This quoted post^^ and this response is unnecessary.....
First: the quote is unnecessary, due to the fact that there is a PLEASE READ THE FAQ FIRST link in the first post.
Second: We shouldn't even have to keep telling people to SEARCH..

because these are COMMON PROBLEMS, there are numerous threads about the SAME ISSUES. so please use the search function on this site. if you did, youd know that wifi is touchy and there are many reasons why it might not work. you will have to read to find which one specifically helps you.
i believe you can charge it thru usb, but no accessing it thru pc.
hope that helps.
and just so ya know, this isnt customer service, this is a developer website. so if you MUST ask a question, make sure there isnt a post already giving you an answer to ur questions. repeating the same answer all day gets annoying, so you start getting responses like noodles.
and im usually the first to start it up heh
Hi,
I have a samsung developer phone, but the installed build is 6419. I don't have direct access to the connect directory, so I was wondering if anyone has the latest installable build? Pst or post a reply if you got any info
Just take the image from THIS.
How can I use that to flash the phone?
You probably need a driver + some weird booting key-press combination on the phone (it changes from phone to phone) before you can do it
It's the Samsung developer phone, no idea what is used to flash that one.
hello,
I have a similar question. I am using a developer build htc spark with a 6527 build version.
Noticing lately many of the new apps not installing or working correctly. Im pretty sure its the old build version. Any help updating to the current prod version is appreciated.
Unfortunately dont have access to connect either.
thank you
I'm guessing y'all are really developers then???

I took a look around the forums and couldn't find what I was searching for, so if a thread like this exists please point me in the right direction. Basically what I want to know is if I can switch my Rogers S3 to a Telus S3 software wise.The phone is already unlocked but getting the notifications constantly about Rogers software is beginning to irritate me

- Rogers/Telus/Bell all use the same S3 i747m and either brand rom can be installed to either S3.
- each Carrier packs in their own bloatware/software. I have heard that perhaps Bell has the least.
- Most bloatware can be disabled with Titanium Backup Pro app but you likely need to root your installation first. Better read up on that before you try anything. There are PITFALLS if done incorrectly.
- TIP: you started a thread for topic matter that has lots of answers in this huge Forum...and actually you asked a QUESTION in the GENERAL section not the QUESTIONS section.
- good luck an dhappy searching
just root it, install a new rom and tadaa its gone. or you could root it and search here for a de-bloating software to remove unneeded apps

[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.

Hi! After a review of many upgrade videos on various sites and forum, I had decided to upgrade Android 4.4.2 on my Note II (N7100) to Android 5. It may be noted that I have not flashed my root.
After the initial wipes and factory reset, the next step was to go to advanced setup and perform a Dalvik wipe. However, under the recovery menu I was unable to find this option. The forum also suggested to install the Cyanogenmod zip file. Though I had the same copied on the SD card it did not recognize while flashing. Tried installing the google apps and even that did not install.
Finally, the system did an automatic restart and the OS was restored to Android 4.4.2.
Can you suggest a way to upgrade my handset to Android
Regards
Nishanth
