Yes I need to do that I think.
Is there a way to do these things with out using my phone? a safe mode or something perhaps? from my pc?
my phone is pretty much 100% useless as of now.

This is going to make sound kind of dumb, atleast very uninformed anyway, but, is my phone rooted now? or did the factory resest somehow get rid of the stock rooted rom that i had last flashed?
my phone has android version 4.1.1 on it now, it just downloaded 4.1.2 i think. Should I let that install?
Thank you guys very much for wasting your time helping a newb like me, it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
GK

Check supersu or superuser if it is installed and it will twll you if you have root. Factory reset from recovery will not remove root. As for updating to 4.1.2, that is up to you. The update may not go through if you have root access, but there are other ways to update if you want to.

supersu is on my phone and it appears to be rooted (I think.)
When flashing a rom such as paranoid android, do i have to do it from a specific andoid version on phone? If I don't need to be in 4.1.2 to flash the PA rom that is based on 4.2, then I won't bother with the update.
Thank you,
GK

It doesn't matter what firmware you are flashing it from. If you are going to paranoid you don't need to update.

Alright its Paranoid android time then... are you guys ready for round 2 when I break my phone again? lol
thanks again for everything,

After flashing paranoid you will likely be met with more force closes or even be stuck at boot logo. Just wipe again and you should be set. Good luck.

Paranoid android installed and working 100% (as far as I can tell, haven't done much yet.)
Looks and seems amazing so far, runs very smooth, hope battery life is decent as well.
I got rom manager from the playstore as well to make switching roms easier.
Quick questions about the Gapps package I got though, will that be compatitble with any rom? Or do roms always have their own Gapps pack assoiciated with them.
Thank you again its been a hell of a ride this morning.
Sincerely,
GK

You just need to be sure that your gapps package is for 4.2.2 or 4.1.x or which ever AOSP Rom you chose. There are not different gapps for each style of rom.

I had this problem last night myself...turns out it was due to the version of CWM recovery I was running, which was v5.4.x.x, IIRC. I used adb to install the latest version of CWM, v.6.0.x.x IIRC and reattempted the flash and it worked fine.
noob question, but since CM10 doesn't have a Rogers version, are you using the AT&T one?
thanks!!
Thanks to everyone who posted about the d2tt.img recovery...it finally soved that problem.

[Q] Still without root...

So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

#1 what version of Odin are you using?
#2 What version of CWM are you using? Where did you download it from ? (Here I hope : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007198 )
#3 Where did you get SuperSU from?
#4 Are you downloading it with your phone's browser, or are you downloading it to a computer and transferring via USB ? (It's possible you have a bad flash card/RAM in the computer/physical hard drive in computer).
Do NOT use Superoneclick, there is no SOC that will work for our phone.
It has been some time since I have used ICS. I had completed the stock download from samfirmware.com, installed CWM 6 with Odin 1.85 and (taadaa) attached to this thread the same version of Superuser I used to install via CWM.

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!

So you can't boot into the OS at all anymore? Cause if you can at least get into the OS you can use adb to terminate the the crashed app if it still rooted. And are you certain you can no longer get to recovery? I've already made the mistake of not having the volume up button fully depressed.

It's actually never been home and volume up for the s4. I too was fooled by this. I guess since the s3 behaved this way someone tried it on the s4 and it worked... but I never ever needed home button pressed to boot to recovery with volume up glad everything is sorted out for ya!

No dice. Rebooting to recovery even with that just leaves me staring at the boot image.
EDIT: I remember reading that those who took the KitKat OTA got a different boot image that makes going back to Jellybean difficult, if not impossible. Could that have anything to do with this?

Are you Fastboot flashing?
Guys KEEP IN MIND:
These are not officials, these are fairly beta builds. You will get errors, I was hoping this would reach some crack-flashers.
That's basically who this is for.

How can we get onto official CM then?
I know it has something to do with the kernel. We can't downgrade the kernel to the one CM is using? Or we have to wait until CM move up to kernel 3.4?

The latest Nightly is from February, which is 4.4.2.
Honestly keep checking that website, and check XDA.
Since the bootloader has been unlocked there should be a lot of movement / action in the dev section.
I would honestly not flash anything older, I mean feel free to mess around w/ kernel that are newer than 4.4.2 on CM.
I can't promise anything if you're on stock. I hope that helped at least a bit.
Didn't think this deserved its own thread, but could someone on 4.4.2 upload their systemui.apk real quick?

I was, but in the end I followed @ATTACK 's advice and used the apps from the Play Store. My impatience and forgetfulness caused me to butt my head against a metaphorical brick wall a few times, but I managed.

[Q] custom ROM help with v5002d

Hey all,
Just got my Gpad 8.3 v50020d kitkat 4.4.2 yesterday. Trying to flash a CM ROM preferably, but having nothing but issues.
I was able to get TWRP 2.8 installed, and make a backup of stock. Have been able to wipe and restore no problems. But everytime I try to flash cm-11-20140910-INFECTED-v500 I get a failed error. Also, can't flash the KitKat gapps-kk-20140606.
Never had problems flashing custom ROMs on my ASUS tablet, galaxy S4, Hisense tablets, so a little guidance would be MUCH appreciated.
I must be overlooking something...please help all.
Thanks so much.

V500 is very tricky tablet, i had issues too, but after few tries i was able to install slimrom, latest weekly build. The newest TWRP is a must, you can't install any ROM without it, so there is probably your problem. If not, try to wipe. First factory reset and then advanced wipe and check first 4 options I think. Flash ROM and it should work.
But I want to ask you - don't you have unmount SD issue? If not, try to monitor it after flashing ROM, it can appear and it's pain in the ass
Well I do know if you take the 4.4.2 OTA after purchase or you buy with 4.4.2 installed,
Its 10 times more of a pain to root/recovery/rom on 4.4.x base, it's a lot easier on 4.2.2 base.
As for TWRP I'm on 2.6.3.2 and never had any problems.

Appreciate the replies all.
After wiping again, I tried flashing CM 11.0 Nightlies and it worked without a hitch. Also flashed the same gapps zip but this time it worked. I don't know whats up, I was having external SD issues so I put the ROMs on internal storage as well.
Now that its all up and running, I have root,and no problems accessing external SD card. Also, knock on works as does my smart cover. Couldn't be happier. Incredible battery life and amazing speed.
:good:

probably the easiest way is using this TWRP Manager (ROOT) app from the Play store. It will allow you to install TWRP onto your rooted, unlocked bootloader device.
I did it a harder/longer way without the above app so try the TWRP Manager app first.
Good luck!

Just curious, has anybody confirmed that the TWRP manager app is compatible with the V500? Does it deal with the Loki exploit required for our tablet?

I would download the TWRP (for our device) of the xda thread to be honest,
And flash manually through a flashing app off Google Play (I use Flashify, but there a few on there)
In theory if it grabs the TWRP file for the V500 it would have the Loki patch in the recovery file, but I wouldn't take the chance just in case it grabs any random file lol
Manual is the best on the tablet itself, or do it through a PC and push the TWRP file through ADB to the recovery partition.
But now-a-days you just run the .bat files and it does all the mumbo jumbo for you and reboots straight to the recovery.
Hope all goes well!

I agree. Until somebody can confirm that this app works reliably with our tablet, I would go with the manual approach.

I can't remember all the details. But I'm pretty sure I put the 2.6 version of TWRP onto my internal storage, downloads folder, I think (I did have an external SD card installed too, but I can't remember where I put TWRP initially). Then installed it using the stock recovery...Once TWRP 2.6 was on there, I upgraded to 2.8. Then, made my stock backup and then flashed CM 11.

Afternoon guys,
No matter what I do I can not get TWRP installed on my tablet. I've tried Flashify. Using 1 Click TWRP Install and other methods through a PC.
Can someone please help me?

You're rooted right?
My device has an unlocked bootloader. Does yours say the same?
Which version of twrp are you trying to install?
Once above is done try using twrp manager in the play store.
Let me know how it goes.
How do I unlock the freaking bootloader? I have root and twrp but cant boot into it because of the locked bootloader
I am in the same boat. I have rooted my device and I can't get any further.
