[Q] My exhibit 4g is not acting up correctly

Hello guys,
This phone is giving me headaches. Once I rooted the phone is not allowing me to to flash CWM and nothing at all but continue stock. Im looking like a paranoid for the Pit file and the flash rom for me to go stock 100% but there is nothing in the forum to well organized I guess that I have missed looking for it or getting lucky to find it.
Im on 2.3.3 right now and the more I do factory reset the more the superuser stays installed. Pleas advise how to successfully flash my phone from scratch for me to install one of the custom ported roms we have in the forum.
I came from Samsung Vibrant with an experience of more then 1000 flashes. I think the bad thing about this phone is that we have to navigate over 7 different forums to get the info correctly and is very confusing.
Guys I also dont have Network Signal meaning I cant use the phone.
Thanks guys very much for any help

I think you are in the wrong forum this is for the galaxy exhibit 4g aka the exhibit 2. I say this because I think the stock ROM that the exhibit 2 came with was 2.3.5

No forums, but there are threads. Just Google xda t759 stock and read around. I know that a stock Odin flash able package is available, but I don't remember where. Also post in their forums because although our phones are very similar I don't know the exact steps/files for your phone.

very vague question so difficult to provide you with an answer
how ever
have a read through the forums and you will learn about what those are and how to flash them and how they work together

Sorry, just a newbie here, but thanks for your reply.
Can I ask you where I could get this stock rom? I am planning on getting CM11 but I wanted to have a contingency plan first.

You can get original stock ROMs from : sammobile.com/firmware
Type on dailer *#1234# to see your current AP, CSC and MODEM version. Notice or note your AP,CSC and MODEM version (you need it if you want your original firmware back)
If you want your original stock ROM back then go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ type your noticed version in the fields (PDA, CSC, MODEM) and download it. done!
Check Screenshot!
Note : you need a SamMobile account for downloading firmwares

Thanks! One more question, I have read that the kernel also changes when I flash CM11, if I would like to revert to Stock do which file is the kernel? Is it the PDA, CSC or Modem? I'm now downloading my stock rom from sammobile thanks to you!

In PDA
if you install a custom recovery example TWRP or CWM then you're able to backup your current Stock ROM and safe it on your PC, laptop or external SD card till you want it back . If you want your Stock ROM back then you can simple restore it via custom recovery
Note : a backup of the Stock ROM take very often more than 2GB!
Good luck with flashing

Thanks! Does installing cwm requires rooting?

[Q] S Off and Updating ROM on GSM Unlocked One M8

Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

}
Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!

Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago

I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.

Systemless Root benefits

Now that google has patched systemless root, are there any more benefits to it compared to the regular root?

If you're on full stock you can unroot and flash ota's. That's about it afaik

It's currently the only method to root stock rom and kernel. And leaving /system read only and untouched seems to be marshmallow's flavor if you will.

I have been on systemless for awhile now so perhaps it has changed but dont you need a modified boot image to avoid the corrupt phone message?

Nothing at all, I run franco's. But not having to mess with it if you are running stock is an advantage. A small one but that is what the op was asking.

not anymore, it doesnt since google shut it down for systemless root.

I wonder if you can use your google wallet card, within the android pay system and would it still work? I will have to test this...

few possiblilities:
1. You haven't received the rollout for the new safetynet api
2. Your payment wasn't checked with safetynet this time.
3. You lucky booger.

I was going to say, they may not have "updated" android pay yet. I wonder if you don't update how that will work. Tbh, the systemless root does seem pretty moot at this point unless you love OTAs.

It is gonna get to the point that people will have to pick either root/custom roms or using things like android pay. Not a big deal personally as all mobile payments are blocked in every store here

Is my bootloader locked? and is there a way to tell?

is my bootloader locked?
i just bought a Galaxy Note 3 sim unlocked at&t 4.4.2 sm-n900a
""""""(this question is the most important to me even if my initial question gets answered) is there a way to check like through a app or adb or something like that to see if the bootloader is lock or not?"""""
i already rooted it and want to know for sure before i throw on Safestrap so i don't brick my new phone.
i want to flash a rom.
Also my note 3 is asking me to update the firmware if i do will that lock it or unlock the bootloader if it is or isn't?

The bootloader on the att note 3 is definitely locked and cannot be unlocked which also means you must use safestrap. Twrp is not an option with a locked bootloader.

what version of safestrap 3.75?

Unfortunately, I don't have access to an att note 3 so I can't make any recommendations about safestrap. My note 3 is the n900w8.

I've got 3.75 on my Note 3

No, an s9 ROM cannot be installed to the AT&T Note 3 if it has a locked bootloader.
