Hi I'm new to this site. I guess I'll explain it from the start. I got my phone rooted and my fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor stop working, and phone keep freezing when typing or just in general. I switched the security from true to false and that fixed the heart rate sensor. But the freezing and fingerprint scanner is still broke. I need help to fix the freezing at least without having to reset my phone. Any suggestions? Please help.
Did you have finger print scans in memory when you rooted?
I'd look here first

Did you upgrade to Lollipop? If you did not do a clean install when you upgraded you need to factory reset your device. Sometimes going from kitkat to lollipop causes the apps to get hung up. Best way to fix it is to factory reset.

You can restore from a backup. I used titanium backup to restore my apps. Just don't restore system info. Worked fine after a full reset on my phone. Has been running great.

I would not use any app data from any back up. You are going from a deodex or odex rom to an art type. Eventually you will have bad battery problems.

He probably installed an app that changes some file on /system (like AdAway). Stock will reset itself and you will lose everything if you do that.

Thankyou for replying. I echanged the device for a new one but my daughters has done the same thing tonight. Will see if it happens again. Any advice on prevention or protecting the apps?

Don't let them install any apps that you have not checked out. And track all the ones they do install.

Are guys stock or did you install custom recovery? Because if so maybe they accidentally wiped data/factory reset in CWM?

I have a rooted Note 3 and was wondering is it possible to do a factory reset and keep root? I am considering selling my note so I want the phone to be completely wiped of my personal information but have it retain root as I think that will help the resale. I have not flashed roms I am still using stock but am using things like xsposed installer. Thanks.

Yes...... You should keep root! I personally have factory reset my device a few times and never lost root!

Hi Guys,
I am fairly new to the Android system. I have unfortunately accepted the 4.4.2 update so I believe rooting is out of question for now. However, the phone seems to be loosing battery power too fast now after the update and there is a constant "message expired or not available" pop-up message in the lower section of the screen. The phone works well in the safe mode. So I assume there was something wrong with the update.
I feel like it would be good to update again to a clean version of rom, debloated of the ATT stuff, I just want the phone to work well and I do use the S-apps from samsung so I want those. How do I do it?
Thanks!

Ok so I've had nothing but trouble with Titanium Backup and Kit Kat. I can get it to install a few apps at a time but then it freezes, I have to force close and start over. Took about 5 hours this last time.
I posted a thread to that effect, but didn't really get any answers so I thought I'd ask what you guys are using for backing up?
I started using Rom Toolbox a while back, but upon flashing several months ago, I ended up with corrupt data and that was no fun...so I went back to ttb...and now this is happening.
Any suggestions on a backup app that seems to be flawless and for sure works with KitKat?

Have not had any issues with Titanium Backup since moving to KK. Works just like it did on JB for me. Maybe you can try helium. You have USB debugging on? You using the pro version / and the latest version?

Are you restoring apps that were previously on your JB build and now restoring them on KitKat? Also, are you trying to restore system apps or data apps?
User apps... And no, I was on kit kat already on knoxraid...
And the backups are good... That's what's weird... When I force stop ttb and restart it, they install fine... Until it freezes again.

You can try tb restore fixer from the play store. It worked for me but I heard it was a hit and miss. Just run the app and hit fix then your done

Now that we have root for 4.4, I'm planning to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4, but I haven't come across any simple method to do it. Mazdamiata has a method to do it, but it requires downgrading to MJ5, which would be a huge inconvenience. My update fails at 27% even with all the original apps restored and unfrozen. I have Xposed installed and my device is rooted with Kingo. Any suggestions?
I'm with you! I sat down and wanted to upgrade to kit Kat but following those directions were not easy for me. I am now stuck on 4.3 until there is an easier way to get there. What stinks is there isn't even a YouTube video to show how to go back to mj5 and the upgrade
Isn't there any other solution to safely upgrade without reverting to MJ5?
here you go

Thanks, but it's not a simple method and has steps to install other components which increase the complexity.
Is the best way just to factory reset my device, retain the root and then try to upgrade?
Factory reset then upgrade to kit kat then root with towelroot

I've wondered if we undid whatever frozen apps ect then used the kingo unroot if we would get the ability to upgrade.
Kingo renamed some files and installed a few

thats exactly what im currently trying. i went into tibu, did a batch unfreeze, then used kingo to unroot. restarted and am now downloading the update. hopefully it will get me up to kitkat and let me root again with towelroot.
Let us know if it works then all I have to do is unfreeze the updater apo and unroot with kingo

nope didn't work... it would download, then when it tries to install the update, it stops at about 24%, reboots and gives an error saying update interrupted.
I tried manually doing it also by putting the update file on SD card and applying in recovery mode... it starts, errors, and wiped my data....
the only way seems to be the harder way heh
