Am trying help my granddaughter get a better camera on her phone. According to Verizon it is a 2017.
Has anyone tried this and been successful and if so, could you please tell me where the link would be?
Also, if this is indeed possible, I haven't done this before so if I try it, can I totally screw up her phone? Or is it
just a matter of it either works or not? And if it does work, does a person just leave the original camera app on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

hello,
i bought a samsung focus 2 from ebay not knowing it was originally a store demo model. it was on the 7.5 OS but was able to force the 7.8 official release onto it (just kept doing the update till it went through). but it didn't fix the issue with it loading the demo software once it would boot back up. i have followed all the ideas posted on here about doing soft/hard resets but know the info is stored on a portion of the phone that updates won't overwrite.
i have done my searches on here and they were never answered by the person who started the thread and were quite old as well. is there a generic ROM i can load that will block the demo or does anyone know how i can hack the phone (bootloader, registry) to stop or delete this nonsense.
i cannot get my money back for this phone as the person deleted their ebay/paypal account. i have been on the phone with both and it's just not going to happen. so my only option is to hack the phone.... i don't want to sell it to someone else knowing it has this problem as i know it will come back on me and i just don't have it in me to rip someone off like i was basically just done.
i'm extremely noob when it comes to hacking a phone or registry so would need it in simple instructions.
it seems like a nice phone and would be a great backup so i don't want to brick it or break it. i would like to eventually use it so anyones help would be greatly appreciated.
this is the white samsung focus 2 SGH-I667
now that i look, i'm not 100% sure it actually updated to 7.8. it says it on the about screen, but it feels like it's still on 7.5... how can i be sure it's updated or not.
thanks !
Go to windowsphonehacker.com and try the tutorial for installing custom ROM in Samsung phones.
(I can't post the link because I'm a new member)
7.8 has resizable tiles like wp8, check your start screen
I have the same problem. I bought the demo phone for my wife ): Did you solved ? Thank you.

if you can find a custom rom for this device then that will do the trick but having looked at the focus 2 forum, it seems to be a device that has received no attention at all!
There are no unlocks, no roms, no nothing!
Mabie the other WP hacking sites might have one but on here there's nothing for that phone, strange!
I'm fooled by the eBay seller. I do not want to cheat someone else.
I can't believe that no one wants to solve the problem with the second generation of Samsun Focus phones!
I'm willing to pay. Just to have functional phone

Hi There I was just reading your post. I think you have a Focus 2? Well I have a Samsung Focus S, and it is also on demo mode, just finished debranding it and interloping it also. I also just finished disabling the demo mode. Don't know if it can also work on the Focus 2, it is just a registry edit. maybe it can work for you. If you still need help email me at [email protected]

How to root samsung galaxy note 4 and install cwm…: http://youtu.be/x1_q9DL53wo
Anyone able to confirm or deny that it would be possible to do so? I will be getting the edge when it drops for AT&T would just like to know everyone's thought on this. Seeing how the note 4 and the note edge will have the same internals, it may be safe to assume that if this can be confirmed, we should be able to have a one click solution. I'm excited and waiting to get my hands on this awesome device.
You should know better then this.
The phone isn't even out yet. And that's a slide show not even a video.

Towelroot has been dead since a couple of weeks that it came out. The security has been patched your best bet is for chainfire to root although AT&T bootloader will be locked
Does not work on Att Note Edge 4.4. Says not compatible

It won't work.
This is for linux kernel 3.4.
Note Edge has linux kernel 3.10
Yeah, I can see that. Towel root, and kingo root, do nothing. Kingo try to root a bunch of different ways. Reboots the phone a few times. I've been watching the note 4 threads like a hawk. If someone was able to get a safe strap kind of thing working that would be fantastic. I just want root for xsposed and other awesome root apps. I remember when I got the note 3, it was a wait to finally get a root option. I'm sure sir Awesomeness Chainfire will come up with something. Till then I guess we have to wait. Still enjoy the phone and all the gawking people that want to see it.
http://www.oneclickroot.com/device/samsung-galaxy-note-edge-sm-n915a-att-kitkat/ so this came up in my daily search of the elusive root options for att users. Anyone able to confirm or deny that this would work? I have the .exe file and am kinda afraid to pull the trigger and see what happens. Sooooooooo if anyone wants to try it out and let the rest of us now how it went, that would be great.

Used the chat window on the page for ****s and giggles. Here's the result:

Get your device remotely rooted by a Pro for as low as $29.95. Please tell us what device you have and the Android version it's running.
Me
at&t note edge 4.4.4

Please provide me the BUILD NUMBER.
On your device, could you open Settings > About. In there, you will see a 'Build Number'. Please tell me what it is.

Hi everybody,
I know Samsung said that they aren't supporting the Pixel (seems to be a 7.1 problem) but has anyone been able to do it? Can you set it up on someone else's phone? Maybe you could change build.prop to add a card then go back. Hopefully once they update their phones to 7.1 it will work
Edit: Looks like it's working now!

Currently 7.1 doesn't work, I know someone else had the same exact problem here on the forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/samsung-pay-root-t3504369/page5
It does not seem to be working on the updated 7.1.1 Build NFM260 PixelXL. I can't install the app from the Gear Manager on my phone.
Hey guys, I truly don't really care for Samsung Pay, but are there any general functionality flaws against pairing with the Pixel? Issues with seeing texts, emails, etc?
I use Samsung Pay with my Pixel all the time. No issues what so ever in regards to SMS, calls, emails etc
So I recently rooted my Samsung S8+, G995U (The Box my phone came in says G955USQU1AQC9 and my carrier is ATT), using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702. Everything went well, my phone rooted correctly, no errors. However, I found out that SnapChat doesn't work on rooted devices (rootcloak didnt work, and root switch froze my phone.). Now, I would like to keep texting friends and this one girl through SnapChat, so if anyone could help me revert back, I'd really appreciate it. If you need any other information in order to help me through, please let me know. I'd like to have this done before Saturday, but as long as I can get it fixed it should be fine. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm a noobie to all this, so if you could be a little clearer, than you would normally be, when explaining steps I'd really appreciate it.
P.S.S Idk how to insert images, so here's an imgur link to some other info from About Phone https://imgur.com/gallery/RhHMm

I have scoured the web, cut deep into the jungle known as the forums, and have not found any solution as to rooting this (arguably horrible) LG phone. Could someone at least point me to a way of trying some stuff manually? I don't need one-click software, I'd be willing to be someones Lab Rat, haha. I have tried this including the non-GUI version of it. I've also tried the popular clients like Kingo Root. I've also looked on Android Central for some stuff, and found that thread, but doesn't really help. Could someone help? If not, that's ok of course, I don't know how much longer I'll be using the device, as my father is probably going to upgrade and I'll get his Samsung 8 if everything works out. Thanks in advance!
Edit:
This is a Verizon Phone (Hence the V next to the K20,) which is another reason why I don't think this has a root.
