I used to use an FTP server app for transferring files from my computer to my sd card. Recently this has stopped working. I understand that it is because of an update in kitkat that makes the permissions for reading, writing, and executing files more stringent. I'm familiar with linux, so I'm...

I bought two Samsung 64 GB microsd cards. One is fake and one is real so I thought I'd post here showing you guys the difference between the two. The fake one was bought from an ebay vendor, the real one was bought from Amazon. Here are the pics.... The fake card is on the left, the...

I hate the pin keypad on my lockscreen. When I unlock my phone it is easy to see which keys I've pressed because the key lights up and the number shows briefly. My friends iphone has a much better pin keypad where the number is never shown (not even for a split second) and the keys don't...

Yes, that's all they would do for free. They did offer me a Droid Turbo for and extra $100.00 but I really don't like the large phones they're coming out with these days so I declined.

I looked at the links you sent me and I searched the samsung site but I could not find that PIT file. I bought it back into my local Verizon store and they gave me a new S4 Mini. The tech didn't say much about why it broke, he only said that it was still under warranty so I was covered. To...

Where do I get this file from? I looked at many Odin tutorials but none of them seem to say where I can get it. My phone is dead so if it's something that I need to extract/transfer from my phone then I'm out-of-luck. I think I'll just contact Verizon and see if my phone is under warranty and...

Thanks for the links. I got the files you said and googled for tutorials. I found quite few and followed the instructions., but I keep getting the error message.... There is no PIT partition. Here is the Odin readout... <ID:0/004> Added!! <OSM> Enter CS for MD5.. <OSM> Check MD5.. Do not...

Thanks for the help guys. @KJ What moto features are you referring to? As a former Droid X user I can say that I'm flashing cyanogenmod to get rid of moto features/bloatware. The seller said that the phone was on 4.2.2, so I don't think that 4.4.4 will be a problem for me. Also, I was also...

I'm on the Verizon network and I want to purchase the Motorola Moto X and put cyanogenmod on it. I read that I have to have the developer edition of the phone in order to do this. I was thinking of purchasing it from this ebay vendor...

I'm able to get into download mode. Is there a ROM I can flash with? This S4 Mini is the Verizon phone so it is the SCH-i435, I didn't think there were any custom roms I could use with this phone.

I got a video camera and managed to capture the text that was being displayed. Here is a screenshot... It looks like... MMC: mmc_read fail Movinaand Checksum Confirmation Fail Any hope of fixing this?

Yes, I followed the instructions on the manufacturer site. I held down the home button, up volume, and powered the device on. A small bit of text appeared for a split second, it was so fast I couldn't read it. It disappeared and the screen went black and the same vibrate pattern started up again.

I have a Samsung S4 Mini on the Verizon network (SCH-i435). I restarted my phone this morning and it took a much longer than usual to boot. My screen showed the Verizon logo for about 5-10 minutes and when the phone finally booted I was greeted with the utility to set up the phone (pick...

I just used towelroot to root my S4 Mini (Verizon SCH-I435). I would like to remove some of the blotware on my phone. Is there a list of apps that can be safely removed?

Okay, I doubt that it is possible since I can't seem to get past the first step which is booting into clockworkmod. I've tried Odin and Heimdall on windows and linux but each one fails to load clockword recovery. Without that I cannot install cyanogenmod. I suspect it may not be possible on...
