im a bit new to xda developers. ive scourged the forums all day via search and found no concrete help or answers.
FIRST: i dont know what adb is and because of that, idk why my nandroid backups and restore wont work. it say "push via adb" or something like that
SECOND: i also dont know how to use sdk or whatever it is.
i need a detailed walkthrough of some sorts because the search on this forum sucks and did not help me at all

not to highjack the thread, but whats it mean when recovery starts prompting you to exctecute command via adb/sdk? i noticedbmy bluecarebear is TRUELY angry with me, so much hes not wiping my ext or dalvk!
nandroid works, backup and restore
factory data reset works
but wiping doesnt.
help?
Well using the xda search "ADB" the first result is a thread that leads you to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
How is that difficult? Everything you need to know about the ADB et al is there
As far as the sdk is concerned, your hero is rooted so it is on your pc already if you followed the traditional process. Otherwise it is there in the link as well.
Seriously I am not trying to be a smart ass but too many people give up before even trying.

if you dont use app2sd then ext means nothing, trying to wipe dalvik normally yells at you but it should be alright

I would try reflashing your recovery image.
I had trouble with the green one a while back, I changed images a couple times for other reasons. Back on green cb now with no problems since flashing over the problematic image.

im not up on most of the geek terminology or whatever it is, in other words the guide here wasnt helpful, but since im rooted, i guess i dont need it(sdk) or whatevr. i still cant figure out why i cant make any nandroid backups or restore currently stored ones
... I'm speechless, or I guess in this case typeless
*edit- +1 On what subliminalurge says in the next post. This stuff is not hard to learn. Either commit yourself to a couple weekends of focused enlightenment or make your peace with the stock setup. Almost any of us would be happy to help... after you take the first couple steps and learn some of the FUNDAMENTALS.
Go to the "GUIDE WIKI" and read read read, when you start becoming familiar with some of the "geek terminology" come back and we'll help connect some of the dots.

Also not trying to be a smartass, but come on dude. If you're not willing to hit google and learn a little bit, then you are probably already in over your head just with what you've done to your phone so far.
I STRONGLY recommend you find a way to be happy with stock phones. Otherwise, I see a large collection of very expensive paperweights in your future.

Search here on Hero CDMA development
and when ever a a post is a recovery, at the begining of the title it will say [RECOVERY]
or you can use the search button anytime. "Clockworkmod Recovery" or what have you. Youre recovery really shouldn go bad unless you did something stupid.
and 1 way to get a new Recovery is through Rom Manger but id highly suggest to use ABD/SDK. its not TOO hard to set up heres a link showing step by step instructions.
This site will probably half your answers that you might have already

got called away for work, thats why i didnt respond with a speedy reply...yes his information was helpful, it did resolve my issue, and i did hit the thanks button.....a little more information and i probably would have given a generous donation as well...(gave 10 bucks to someone once for writing "wipe cashe, wipe data, wipe dalvik, flash away").....so i think all have completed their missions on this thread, dont you ?

Because its respectful to let the board know in general that you've figured it out. By telling us that, it lets others know maybe how to fix the same type of problem instead of leaving the thread in limbo. Simply edit your original post and put [solved] in the header also works and is very easy. Some xda users only use the app like myself and don't see the thanks. Plus it doesn't say that it worked for you. Just that you thanked him for a reply to your problem or whatever we could assume. And we all know what assume means. Makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Ok, so, first off, yes, as I keep being told by the forums I read, I am a noob. I understand, and respect that. That's not the issue.
So, I have followed the guide that's found here, and I have the Clockwork mod installed, as when I turn on my phone, and press down, it says I have it.
I -had- my phone rooted in the past, and then -finally- the official 4.0.4 update came out. I upgraded from my old rooted image to the new image, and figured I'd wait to see if someone would post instructions on how to update this version, unless I am doing something wrong.
I am sure that I am, or I missed something somewhere. Again, I have -no- idea what I am talking about. I don't claim I do.
So... I try to install Superuser-3.2-RC2 -and- RC3-ARM-signed.zip, as I was advised that may work via pressing power+down, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I copied the file over to the root of the SD card, and all that jazz.
So, is someone ready to point out the error in my method, or more likely, tell me I am an idiot?

First time I hear of a Captivate Glide!? I *guess* they use the same firmware.
I'm not sure if superoneclick works for ICS but you could look into that.
EDIT: Look below.
I don't really want to give you any advice because I've never used the captivate glide and I would advise against using any software in this forum. There is a forum for the glide though which would probably be the best place to get your answer. I would link you to it but I'm on my phone at the moment.
The phones are similar but still different enough that rooting methods and custom kernels probably won't work the same.

True but the fact that it has a slide out keyboard concerns me. Any software not made for it would probably render the keyboard unusable.

See, things like that is why I posted to start with... I know I am a noob, and I think I ran into a unique situation, so, that's why I posted... I would of just used good 'ol Google, but, I really just prefer to keep it on here... seeing as the guide here is well done, and I think I could trust it.
..that, and I am a bit afraid of some answers I may get elsewhere.
Anywho, any ideas how to get SU to work around this? I remember reading somewhere that there's an option to allow un-signed roms to load.. is that doable here, or better yet, advisable? I.E., might brick something? I love this phone, after all. Just... hate the bloatware that made it's return. x.x

I followed the instructions from that guide to root the phone, that's where I get that error. It won't accept an un-signed ROM.

UPDATE:
Someone earlier suggested I run Super One Click, I think... well, I run it, and I tell it to 'Root' It says 'Missing driver! Install?' I click 'Yes' A pop up comes up, 'No more data' then another, and I click yes, same thing. Just tossing that in there...

Hold it, hold it, slow down.
First of all, the Captivate and Captivate Glide have nothing in common besides their name. Different SoC, different NAND, different screen, different board layout. NOTHING is interoperable between them short of, well, flashing tools like Odin.
The Glide has its own section. Come join us, we're fun people and we just got CM10.1 a few weeks ago!
-E- Also, for the Glide you install ClockworkMod first, THEN root. That's just SOP for devices that ship with the bootloader already unlocked.
same problem
Im having the same problem with error codes when i try to use superuser
Has anyone found a solution?
I have the at&t model and factory unlocked if it helps

If you have a Glide, you're in the wrong section.
If you have a Captivate though, be more clear about your issue. What error do you get? What steps did you take? Followed any guide?
I may have missed something but nothing has come up in my searches. Do we have a stock rooted 5.1 ROM yet? I know the guys building AOSP are having difficulty with voice calling (have to turn on speaker to hear anything). If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move or delete. I was just curious about this.
Yes it is the right place to ask.
This looks like it may be what you're after, but the OP is a little light on details.

I'm not sure if it does or not to be honest. He said initially it did, but he was going to remove that. Though the rewriting of recovery is achieved using the install-recovery.sh script included in the rom. FYI SuperSU hijacks this file and changes it so if you flashed SuperSU right after before boot, it shouldnt be able to replace recovery.
Edit> V 1.5 doesn't replace recovery.

Before coming across the link in this forum here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...y-steps-n910t3-dofc-dog1-how-to-root-t3177225 ...
I thought I could shortcut all the work by going to the auto root chainfire site to download the actual CF Auto Root File for model sm-n910t3. I successfully flashed that file using odin. It went into a bootloop and then I freaked out.
The error messages when I turn on the phone first show
"kernal is not seandroid enforcing" in red, and
"Set Warranty Bit: kernal" in yellow writing.
After being in this bootloop i went to the link posted above and followed each step by step. My phone is successfully rooted now and I can log in to my phone fine. However, there are two problems. First, those error messages are still there. How do I get rid of that? I tried a factory reset on my phone and it wont do it.
Will get to that after. Second, when I go into twrp by hitting volume up+home+power, once im in there it wont allow me to backup my current rom. It says an error message about E:/ data mount or something like that. And also while in twrp it won't let me factory reset my phone. So the recovery program is pretty useless to me. I don't know why it doesn't work properly.
Where do I go from here? Can someone help me out in fixing this error message and getting a recovery program to work? I'm just wondering why the twrp that I flashed while following that root guide above does not work. Has anyone ever encountered those two error messages while turning on their phone? Thanks.
The error messages are normal after rooting.

So other people have those messages on the top of their phone after rooting this device? Im guessing we just ignore that message then? I thought it was there because I flashed the wrong kernal before doing it the right way and following the forum...
What if I flashed the original firmware for this note 4 phone that I have a copy of, then root the phone going through that tutorial step by step? Wouldn't that get rid of the error messages? And my twrp would work then?
Im not able to make a backup of my current rom. And Im not even able to factory reset this phone. This is a problem for me since I want to put marshmallow on here soon. When I do I get an error message. Part of my second question is wondering why twrp isn't working correctly?
please help
i took my battery out to charge it and put a new one in. now it wont even boot up. it turns on and says
"custom binary blocked by FRP"
"secure fail: kernal"
for those of you who followed my other post i rooted my phone and tripped knox. phone was giving a message but would still turn on. where do i go from here? i have everything backed up and can start fresh. please provide step by step instructions on how i can fix this phone. thank you so much in advance and god bless.
I went to samsung and downloaded the firmware for this device and then flashed it. Now it's back to normal so you can disregard my post. Thanks guys.

Drink my ovaltine? Hash tag for uber noob? Didn't your parents raise you to not say something if you have nothing nice to say at all? Apparently not so who's really the ignorant. Ask yourself that question. Ignorance is bliss. That's a good hashtag huh.
And the bottom line is that we were all beginners at one point right? So cut me some slack im learning. It will take me time to get to where you guys are at. Yes I am brand new to this stuff and no I don't like the iphones. Androids are more user friendly. I like Samsung phones and want to learn more about them.
Its people like you that keep us beginners from wanting to come back to this website, when guys say blatantly rude comments. It shouldn't be a bashing forum. Let's all chill and get along.
