A friend of mine does IT contract work for a whole bunch of companies, including one which ordered Surface tablets for all of their employees. He says I can't even consider getting a Surface, because this company ordered hundreds, and almost every one has serious stability issues (blue screens...

Thanks. It looks like if I want to do this, I had better be prepared to factory reset. Considering I only wanted to root in order to use Titanium backup before resetting my device, there's no reason I need to go this route. Thanks, though.

From all the info in this and other threads, it seems like there is a method for downgrading an NK4 Note 3, running Towelroot, and getting root without tripping Knox, but for the life of me I cannot find an answer as to how. Has anyone done it and can report back what I need to do?

I have started having this issue where, when Bluetooth headphones are connected for call and media audio, and my device interacts in some way with the Chromecast integration, the media connection disconnects, and any currently playing media audio starts blaring from the speakers. I'm a heavy...

I'm evaluating a stock device for a manufacturer of basic stock Android phones, and I'd like to know if there's a method of rooting that should work on what appears to be an extremely generic stock build of Android 4.4.2. Any recommendations or other threads I should check out? I've been...

That's what I figured, but these threads are filled with people speculating, and no one reporting what they actually did or what happened. I love XDA, but sometimes everyone here misses the really obvious ways they can help people. I did PM one person who said months ago that he was sending in...

That makes the most sense, though I'm struggling to find anyone who has sent the phone back to Sprint that has posted about it. Does anyone know what has actually happened for 0x1 people who sent their phone in?

I had previously updated to NAB using this guide, everything worked fine. Did it now, got the Kernel Panic, can only get into download mode. I'm screwed, right? Gotta go stock and choose to either lose root or Knox Warranty 0x0, right?

Great news! Now, where do we get the NC5 file for Mobile Odin Pro?

Can anyone verify the legitimacy and safety of installing this? I don't make a habit of installing random APKs without knowing the source.

I see that disabling tether provisioning in WANAM has no effect. On AT&T, I used to use Titanium to disable the TetherProvision app/service, but that does nothing here either. Is there a way of accomplishing this on Sprint? Is this a topic for another thread? ---------- Post added at 12:10...

Oh my god thank you! This happened on my Sprint Note 3, and was driving me nuts. Thank you for having the solution. So this shows up in more search results, here are the three popups I got after every boot:

Thanks so much for this guide. Everything worked exactly as you'd described, and my Knox Warranty 0x0 remains intact.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with your bootloader and instructions. If I separately flash his regular bootloader later, will I keep root? Or does it not affect root in any way?

I'm still on 4.3. Should I use the regular bootloader, but otherwise follow the instructions in this thread, replacing the engineering with the regular bootloader? Or, should I follow all of the instructions in this thread, then, once complete, flash the regular bootloader? And if I do so...

But your Outlook, do you know if it is connecting to an Exchange server, or a different kind of email system?

What kind of email system does your workplace use?

I assume flashing this trips Knox Warranty?

Most security policies will make it impossible to connect to your email if the device is insecure. But, being insecure, you can in many cases fake that status or disable the security policy on your device. It depends on how your company set it up. I run our email server and am rooted, and...

Let me know if that works. I assume you'll lose root, though, but if you can update, not have to jump through hoops to do so, not have to wipe my device, I'll probably do it and deal with being unrooted until Kingo updates. If it doesn't, or you lose Knox 0x0, or something else we should know...

Same here. I'll wait for Kingo to support KitKat. Does flashing the unroot tar wipe the device, or at least the apps? I assume that method does not trip Knox 0x0?

How is that done? Really appreciate any help.

That would be awesome, thanks! I'm hoping to get at least some mods available for those of us trying to stay at Knox 0x0.

That folder is empty. Do you mean: \Minin3.PULLUS.DARK.MENUS.zip\MORPH\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi Is there anything else needed besides the contents of that folder? Thanks!

What would it take to install this on devices that are rooted but on stock recovery (in other words, everyone trying not to trip Knox Warranty)?

This looks perfect. Is there a way for rooted users who haven't installed a custom recovery (to prevent tripping Knox) to install this? I'd love to be able to use it. Thanks!

I love XDA, and have been using the site for years, but there has always been a serious problem here that people do not say specifically what device they have, with what firmware, what they did, and what happened, using details at every step. So, since I can't find a single search result, on...

They'll know you tripped Knox. Factory restore doesn't fix the Knox bit (since it's likely an eFuse).

So, can everyone with some experience replacing devices answer these questions: if you trip and need to replace, do you send it in to Sprint via mail or go to the store? Or send it to Samsung? What happened? Did you get rejected? What reason did they give?

Looks like. I'm on a the Note 3 edition, so hopefully we'll have the update soon as well. Anyone installed Vanilla 3.2 and noticed any changes?

I flashed 1.4, didn't find the wallpaper there either. Must have been from a different build, something leftover. It was nice, it's gone now, oh well. I can say that flashing from 2 to 1.4, then back to 2, I did not lose any of my widgets this time. Must have been a one-time thing.

I can flash back to 1.4 and look for it, since I know I had it in 1.4, and it was gone in 2, unless someone still on 1.4 wants to help out. Can anyone post a screenshot of the wallpapers they're seeing, specifically any dark, night wallpapers?

I had the same issue. Wallpaper reset to default, all widgets gone. I re-placed the widgets and Touchwiz did not FC, but otherwise the same issue. I installed update 2 standard data icons over 1.4 AT&T icons, wiped dalvik/cache 3X. The wallpaper I used to use, a dark, night wallpaper, is no...

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!

I just got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 dock, model EDD-D1B1BE, and since the connectors look similar: Will it work with the Note 10.1? Anyone tried?

I picked up an Isis SIM card, installed the Isis app, used the Xposed module to get past the Isis root check, and after all that Isis says my device is not supported. I am on SkyNote 4.3. Has anyone tried to get Isis to work, and what is your configuration?

Does Red S-Note 3 work on the new build?

I second this! We all want the Note 3 features, but the best thing about Skynote has been for me that it has been so stable and not chock full of experimental and buggy features. I know Sean doesn't have unlimited time and resources, so while two builds would be best, if not, perhaps he could...

That's great advice! I can't believe I never thought of trying that to force Windows Update. Already, I think I'm seeing an improvement.

Same thing happening to me. Also, sometimes it refuses to restore properly from standby, with a glitched pattern on display, an unresponsive touchscreen, or both, forcing a hard reset. Anyone have any ideas? In addition, I've noticed a major graphical glitch when using Fresh Paint. I hope...

Oh, thank god. A fix is at least on the way: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/33823/

There is no pre-installed Dropbox app, so probably not. Anywhere else I should look Sure, what benchmark should I run? Pictures attached. The phone is wearing the gray flip case. To the left of it is the stock back. Let me know which benchmarks you like, I'll go for it. And it's...

So I left the house at 7:50 this morning with both phones at ~100%. Even though I used the Note II on my entire commute, and my CM10 Note I sat in my bag with the screen off, the Note II is significantly beating the Note I in battery life. Check out the screenshots.

I have the AT&T Note II. How do I check for the FM radio?

I love CM10, but I'm starting to lean in that direction. Custom ROMs are necessary when manufacturers do a terrible job, such as slowing down or lowering battery life with a bad skin/framework, but most of the better manufacturers, you seem to get better battery life and unique features by...

I'd been told previously that since the LTE and HSPA radios are the same on AT&T devices, turning off LTE saves no battery. Is that true?

I'll try to monitor battery life tomorrow, once I've got a full charge. My moderate usage at work should be good for a battery life test. Should I leave wifi off for best LTE results?

Can't turn LTE off in the settings, but changing APNs should work fine. It's VERY smooth and fast. Much more so than my CM10 Note I. Any benchmarks I should try? Sitting next to the Note I, it has the same number of bars (for what that's worth) and gets on LTE 11-12 mbps down, 6-8 up, but I'm...

I don't see anything about FM. Where would I look/test?

There's an AT&T logo on the back cover. That's it. With the flip case, there's no branding at all.
