Downgrade after upgrading to Android 6 - knox tripping? G900F

Hello!

Sadly my G5 ist broken and I have to send it to a reprair center.
The center has the habit to upgrade any phone they receive to the newest firmware

My G5 was delivered with Lollipop - I downgraded to 4 to use Towelroot.

So my question - if they force me to Android 6, is it possible to downgrade without tripping knox?

It's a G900F btw :)

Thanks in advance!

Best Greetings!

Do you think its actually worth upgrading from a S6 Edge to a S7 Edge?

I can't get myself to upgrade from my s6 edge to an s7 edge! Yeah it's waterproof. Bit faster. Hardware's better. But, I really don't think many people including myself will be happy spending that much cash to get a phone that's almost identical in looks. To be honest I couldn't believe Samsung even called it the S7 Edge. Should've been more like an Apple iphone6 to iphone6s. Seeing as it's basically only small upgrade should use really sell that to people as a totally upgraded new design phone when the simple fact is its just an upgraded S6 Edge...

HTC One M8: Android is upgrading...

I just got the latest OTA from HTC. My phone is unlocked with stock image, unrooted and never tampered with. Its been on the Android is upgrading... screen for around 2 hours. Its already gone through and done the app optimisation and rebooted after that into this situation. I'm not really sure what to from here. Do I just leave it running overnight? The phone is running quite hot with the screen permanently on. It hasn't frozen fully, the spinning circle/line is still going. Holding down the buttons does nothing. Its like I'll have to let the battery run down...anyone have any advice :confused:

Upgrading phone, Looking for suggestions.

Hey xda!!!!, Longtime user here but I've been inactive for a while here, I left the modding and rom scene for quite some time since I switched from my galaxy s3(LOVED THAT PHONE). Sorry.. I'm currently looking to upgrade my already.. aging..... asus zenfone2 >_< bought it only 6 months ago and already fed up with it, and looking for a change. I've been browsing around a bit and am having a lot of trouble deciding on a worthy upgrade without too many compromises, and figured.. hey.. the users at xda might have some worthy opinions so I'm here now :D. Anywho my price range is anywhere from 150$ to 350$ sum odd if its well worth it longterm. I'm a modder and rom head at heart and always loved that custom option for the sake of it... don't we all? I'm not a heavy user.. mostly casual use day to day.

Must haves:
-Finger print sensor
-micro sd storage (ofcourse)
-Heavily! rom supported here on xda or timely google upgrades
-Nfc (Duh.)
-Quick charging (not huge but would be nice, Pokemon go?)
-Good battery life, again.. Pokemon go?
-Good camera/screen ect.

Upgrading and custom ROM support

Hello, I purchased a new SM-G900P off ebay out of China which came rooted with KitKat installed. I can only assume they put this ROM on to make it universal. It's worked well in general, but I have been having some annoyances with it lately, particularly when related to roaming and some chinese characters that just persist (the CSC codes are CHN and TGY). I would like to upgrade to Lollipop and install one of the custom ROMs that look to be awesome.

My question is: how do I deal with this phone? I can't tell if a recovery is already installed. Can I wipe the phone and upgrade to Lollipop? Should I remove and re-initiate the root access? I am new to android but I've done a ton of reading and I'm quite tech savvy, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative!!

S4 mini plus patching system image unconditionally error while upgrading rom

So I had my S4 mini with custom 12.1 rom . Danil_E71 the developer updated to a new version. When I downloaded it and tried to install no wipes no anything coming from same rom I get a message in twrp saying patching system image unconditionally and then it freezes. If I remove the battery and reboot twrp the /system is unmounted and can be mounted only via restoring backup . Since this hasn't happened to anyone else using this rom might this be something wrong in my model ? So far I tested Cm12.1 --> Cm12.1 rom update failed
Stock rom --> Cm12.1 through wipes etc failed again what can I do ? My model is the plus quad core version but I think its irrelevant in my case

Upgrading a Grand Prime (Refurbished)

Hi Guys

I am using a samsung galaxy grand prime refurbished version. Can anybody tell me how to upgrade it to lollipop or by complete flashing and re installing the original factory software

Upgrading to Lollipop

I currently have 4.4.2.

1. Should I upgrade to Lollipop?


2. Is it possible to upgrade without losing anything from my phone?


3. How do I upgrade?

Is a (ClockWorkMod) Backup any good after upgrading (to cyanogenmod)?

I'm about to do an upgrade from an OEM ROM to Cyanogenmod on a phone I have a lot of apps and settings on.

I know the guides always say "back up before upgrading in case it fails, then upgrade, you'll lose all your previous data". And I know that's the normal way it goes.

What I'm asking is if there is any possibility of putting any sort of pre-upgrade backup data to good use by recovering some of it in the new OS?
For example like how I can copy a lot of programs and AppData (profiles, settings etc) from one installation of windows to another.

In my case it would take a lot of extra work even after I use the play store to re-download all the apps. Not to mention some apps are not from the play store (they're for ex from fdroid or github). I'm also the kind of guy who would rather not back up my phone "to the cloud".

Cheers!

Rooting and upgrading software questions - Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T

I hope this is the correct section to post this. I have a sgs3 GT-I9300T that is/was carrier locked through Vodafone. I say is/was because I can currently use an Optus simcard without problems. This specific model does not support any upgrade past 4.3 jellybean (which is bs lol)

So here I am, a complete phone noob, wondering how to root this specific model and upgrade to at least the 4.4.4 KitKat port ive seen posted. Is there any guides or how tos on the subject? Is there a difference between both GT-I9300 and the T variation in terms of rooting/flashing custom roms etc?

I have a dream to become Pokémon master but my phone is not allowing me to become one. Please help me

Requesting help Upgrading from Jellybean 4.3 to Kit Kat 4.4

Heya everyone!

I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.

I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.

Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):


If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/...xy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.

Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!

P. S. Would this thread help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...12-24-t2983357

Worth upgrading from Moto X 2014?

Hi,

I know this thread may seem similar and it has already been answered before but those threads are over 5-6 months old so imo they aren't relevant anymore. I have to make a decision ASAP regarding selling my 8 months-old 16GB Moto X 2014 and upgrading to a brand new 32GB Nexus 5X. In the place where I live, the X2 can easily be sold with ~5 (I bought it new for 0). Now, the 32 gig 5X can be bought at ~ 0. So, do you guys think it's worth the extra $$$? Did the 5X improve since the monthly 2016 updates? Does anyone here tested the N Dev Preview 4 on their 5X? Do the past issues (like overheating) are still there? To me, the most "shocking" thing about the 5X is the fact that I tested it in a local store besides my X2 in Geekbench 3 and it was quite of a surprise to see the Moto take the lead in the 2nd attempt. (Both stock, running MM 6.0 - The 5X had the October 1st 2015 security update). After the 2nd run, the 5X's score dipped below the X2's by around 300-500 points. :(

Thinking of upgrading?

I was thinking of replacing my remi 1s with the new redmi 3 pro? any reactions? thanks

Cannot install or update applications from the Play Store since upgrading to N

I enrolled on the beta program on my Nexus 6 and allowed it to update to Android N (June build) and now I cannot install anything from the Play Store or update applications through it. I get an error every time.
I have tried:
Turning it off and on.
Disabling Play Store and clearing the cache (cannot see anywhere to uninstall updates).

What should I try next? Should I try and uninstall the Play Store and reinstall it through apk?

Will you be upgrading to the HTC Nexus?

I can't figure out what to do. I like the fingerprint reader on the 6P very much and I love the huge screen. Also the front facing speakers are a huge asset.

On the other hand I gather the HTC Nexus will come with 3D touch. Maybe a better camera but that's secondary to me.

Other than that both devices will be running N.

I really don't know if I should sell my 6P this fall and get the HTC. Also, I'm on a 30 month contract with my 6P. So I'm depending on the price of a used 6P not being too low.


What will you be doing?
