For eons I could happily fire up AppManager or a similar app and move things to my external card. Now nothing will move. Still running a rooted Verizon I545 with Hyperdrive 20. (KK 4.4.2) Did the moon go retrograde or something? (I don't follow astrology but hey, it could matter) (And the...

I thought I was getting pretty good at unbricking but: I was running Hyperdrive 18.1 and went to upgrade to RLS19. The flash didn't take care of the Wifi so I attempted to restore the 18.1 for the time being. That restore failed (twice). So I figured, what the hell. Unbrick and start...

Upgraded to 17.1 (After upgrading to NC5). Install went fine except no wifi. Tried flashing Gogolies Wifi fix for NC5 but no luck. Any suggestions?

I very carefully followed the directions in the video from Bobios Tech World and have been staring at the boot animation for way, way too long. (15 mins now). I was on RLS 15. Used Safestrap (which is how I installed 15). Did a full wipe, flashed SuperSu. I suppose I can reboot to...

When I connect my rooted, MJ7 Verizon i545 to the PC it downloads some unspecified "new device software." I assume that I want nothing to do with whatever VZW is pushing but it can't hurt to ask.

Does the Loki exploit work on the i545/mk2. When I try to move the loki files into the \data directory I get various error codes. Using My Phone Explorer on a PC the error read OBEX Errorode: D0 - Internal Server Error. Astro on the phone just says "Error Can't Move File). Is it the...

I've just installed Safestrap 3.70 on my S4/MK2. So far, so good. I see that there are modules available for this combo but can't find instructions as to when and how to use those modules. Any guidance? Second question: Once you've created a backup do you need to put the original...

Has anyone found a way to unlock the bootloader on i545/MJ7? As I read about CM11 etc. for the i545 most of the posts indicate that you need a real recovery. Do I understand correctly that those of us on the MJ7 are just gonna have to wait for Santa to pull a rabbit out of his sleigh...

I just switched from an S3 to an S4 and didn't realize that the S4 is seemingly so much more locked down. (bummer). I've rooted (with Vroot) and want to move to CM11. But before I do so I want to backup that stock, rooted, MJ7 rom. Booting into (stock) recovery doesn't show a backup...

I switched over to CM 10.2 (the 4.3.1 nightly of 10/28) from PacMan and I'm amazed at the battery life. After nearly 12 hours of routine use (phone, email, some web) and it's still at 74%. I've not seen other reports of a two day charge but I'm sure not complaining. (Verizon Galaxy S3...

This should be simple however I've not found the answer: I've got a bunch of rom backups on my PC that I downloaded from the phone using Rom Manager's backup server. That's easy enough. But if I want to push those backups back to the phone so as to Restore them (with CWM or whatever) how...

Okay, where is the setting that enables multiwindow in Eclipse? (Doesn't seem to be anywhere that I've looked in Settings and holding Back doesn't seem to do it)

I was test driving some new roms (Carbon 4.3 and CM 10.2) but decided to go back to Synergy 4.1.2. (Which was backed up and I had successfully used the restore file in the past). The bootloader is unlocked (I'm pretty sure.) The phone boots up and does all the normal data stuff but neither...

For reasons unknown the Gmail app on my S3 (Running Synergy 4.1.2) is much dimmer than any other app. Explanation? Solution? I'd re-install the Gapps however Synergy bundles that as part of their rom zip and I'm not sure which Gapps zip would be correct. (BTW, anyone know when...

Something is installing all kinds of game apps on my rooted S3 without my asking. (About one new game every few days). I've wiped the phone and gone through Tibu looking for unknown entries but nothing seems foreign or suspect. In TiBu there are apps that are struck-through which I think...
