Softbricked my AT&T Active trying to go from 4.4.2 rooted to 5.0.1 rooted.

I tried to update my old phone from 4.4.2 rooted to 5.0.1 and keep the root by having my cousin do it for me. Unfortunately, he used the guide on here for the normal S4 instead of the S4 Active, leaving me with a phone that says "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" and "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL" in the corner. Google searches are fruitless. I have tried using this method, but upon starting ODIN I get this fail message and the following:

[Xposed][Tasker][Evernote] Trying to "Google Now" a reminder to Evernote, stuck

As my first semi-serious project to learn AutoVoice, AutoInput, Tasker, Google Now, and so on, I decided to work on something I've been looking for but can't find: "Google Now" a reminder into Evernote's Reminder, rather than the GN reminder.

What I want to accomplish is "Google Now", "Remind Evernote This is a test reminder", then Evernote add a new reminder with the text (no title) "This is a test reminder" and no due date/time.

(I know you can do "note to self", but I want it to appear in Evernote Reminders, not just a regular text note. )

I got the trigger phrase to work ("remind evernote")

However, I got stuck trying to input the text as a reminder.

Approach 1)

Under "task" I can only get to App / Launch App, not a specific activity.

Approach 2)

I thought I can launch app, then use AutoInput to click the PLUS button, then reminder, but repeated attempts at using the easy-config kept taking me to the note behind the Add note button, not the button itself. I can't find the darn UI object to trigger.

Approach 3)

I thought about using an INTENT, however, looking at Evernote API, both at the Evernote Blog entry on Android Intents and the Github repo shows NO INTENT to add a reminder. Apparently a reminder is a regular note with three extra fields.

So right now, I'm a little stuck.

Question 1) How the BLEEP do I pop up the quick reminder dialog box like the widget

Question 2) If that's futile, how do I engage the Intent and add the reminder directly via the API?

Question 3) (Assuming Q1 or Q2 can be done), how do I retrieve the rest of the spoken text to be stuffed into the reminder input?

and way in the future...

Question 4) Will it be possible to have a GN card with state, like you can only say 'send message to John', and GN will prompt you back "what is the message?" I'd like it to ask "what is the reminder" if you just say "remind evernote" with no further input.

Trying to use wireless Xbox 360 controller, buttons/sticks sticking?

Hi, I've got an LG G2 (AT&T D800, unlocked), and I'm trying to use a standard, Microsoft wireless Xbox 360 controller with it for a few games. (Minecraft, Dead Trigger, and some emulators)
I'm running stock 4.4.2, software version D80020y, rooted.
Now, at first it simply wouldn't do anything at all (like it wasn't recognized), but then I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1792531
Now it somewhat works, however, all of the buttons "stick" at random times, and the bumpers rarely work.
I've tried all 4 of my controllers, they all did the same thing.
The OTG cable is confirmed working with a keyboard/mouse, and USB drives, and the wireless reciever (while it is aftermarket and not the official MS version) is confirmed working with my PC.
I've re-done what was written in that thread twice now, making sure everything was done correctly, and I'm still having this issue.
I've googled around, but I must be missing something.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Trying to unlock bootloader if phone not European?

I've bought a used G4 from someone who is "pretty sure" (but not 100% certain) that it's a European model, as it was purchased from a seller on Amazon shortly before the phone was released in the UK.

I want to root the phone, so my question is: if I try to unlock the bootloader using the official LG method, but the phone turns out NOT to be a European model, am I likely to brick the phone?

[HELP] Bricked my phone while trying to root, can't load recovery only download mode

Hello there, I am very very new, so please forgive if I do a mistake.
So earlier today I was trying to root my S5(SM-G900H) and I was trying out this method: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/04/...very-root.html
Everything was going smooth, Odin showed me the "PASS!" too, but when I pressed the volume up, home and power button keys together, nothing happened and the phone was on the download mode, it didn't do anything. So I took out the battery and rebooted, and it rebooted normally and I was able to use it again. I tried the same method at least 10 times more but always failed. Then after some time I stumbled upon this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696537
Followed all steps except one, didn't uncheck the "Auto Reboot" box and the "F. Reset Time" simply because Odin didn't let me, the boxes were dim and the mouse didn't respond on hovering over them. So, now my mistake, I pressed start anyway and Odin got to the blue box saying "RESET" or something and my phone restarted and the "Samsung Galaxy S5" logo and the "Powered by android" logo screen came up and it has been stuck there forever. I tried getting it into recovery a lot of times but recovery just won't come however it does load the download mode, so I tried the same "[SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root" method, only this time I used a version of Odin that let me uncheck all the boxes, I tried several times but it just got stuck on the download mode like it happened in the first method, I rebooted and still stuck on the black and white samsung screen, yes that's right, not even the boot up animation. PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP. I'M DYING


Here is a picture of what my problem looks like:

No Wifi - Cell service after trying new 5.0.2 Rom.

if I use a Rom for an incorrect model version, I lose Wifi and Cell service.
is there a way to repair the wifi and cell service on the new test rom?
if I return to my working backup stock rom, I do have working wifi and cell service.
I did backup my efs folder. I tried to manually copy and paste the files, I tried to restory only the EFS partition in TWRP from a working rom. none of those solve the issue.


is it possible to fix wifi - cell service on a rom with the wrong model number ?
for example, I use the Japanese softbank sm g925z model s6 edge phone.
the roms are from 925f or 920xx
