Dear members

Could anyone please let me know

1. if it is possible to change IMEI on HTC sensation

2. if possible - how can i do this?

----------

Please only answer if you have answers - but do not tell me it is illegal, or that this was discussed before, because

1) I have lookd on the forum and did not fine the solution for my device HTC sensation.

2) it is not illegal in my country

3) My country's Mobile carriers do not care about laws at all. I have purchased HTC Sensation and it was blocked on the 3rd day of using it just because it was not purchased from their "official stores". Of course HTC Sensation is not availabel in any official stores and will not be for several months from now.

The carriersa are breaking all the existing antitrust laws by blocking the phones that were purchased from other carriers or directly from HTC retail stores etc.

fot those interested - the country is JAPAN

I am now unable to Call/Receive calls due to phone blocked by IMEI by Softbank. So I want to change IMEI to my old device's number i used to have with Softbak until now.

4) even if it is illegal to change IMEI in some countries, it is not illegal to share the knowledge.

------------------

Thanks in advance for help and advice.

It may not be illegal in your country but it is here in the USA and since this site falls under US laws, guess what? it is illegal for this site to help you....

XDA RULES #9

9. Don't get us in trouble.

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
[HTC Sensation] umka83:
Hello,

As far as i know it is not illegal in US to share knowldge.

For instance -

1) it is illegal to take video without someone's consent, but it is not illegal to buy and sell photo and video cameras.

2) it is illegal to upload and download pirated music, but it is not illegal to say that you can find many websites were you can download music for free on the Internet.

3) it is illegal to kill somebody, but it is not illagal to say that you can kill someone with a gun.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
[HTC Sensation] duffy1807:
Lol.. This made me laugh :D.... I have a question, since it's illegal to change imei here in uk / USA. Are you still liable to be prosecuted if you went to a country where it was legal, changed imei there and then return home after x amount of days / weeks? To a country where it's illegal?
[HTC Sensation] umka83:
According to international law you may not be prosecuted for something that is not considered a crime in the jurisdiction where you actually commited something that is considered crime in your country.

Few acceptions apply, however: disclosing any calssified information to the other country's authorities or secrete services or the like would still be prosecuted.

So if you are intereste if you can go to a country were changing IMEI is legal, change it there, and then go back - you cannot be prosecuted, unless you country's laws forbid you to use or import a phone with a modified IMEI.

But anyway -can we keep this more on topic please?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
It is illegal as far as xda is concerned.

So, I used Odin to flash the stock 2.3 on my Captivate. Worked like a charm. Now I wanna root it, but on my recovery mode There's no option to reinstall packages. It only says:

-apply update from sd card

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

How do I get around this to root my phone?

Thanks a lot!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Apply update would apply the update.zip file on sdcard. At least I believe so.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
doesnt matter it needs to be a signed zip or you will get a "e:signature verification error" there are instructions on how to root KF1, its a kernel swap method. you flash fugu kernel with odin and then flash the cognition beta 2 kernel after that to root....

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I think that your only choice will be to replace the screen, if it bothers you enough.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob9424:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slack3r:
Take attention away from it with a bigger scratch.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
yeah as the guy's were saying above, you'd either have to replace the screen or put decent screen protector on it to minimize the screen' appearance.

if it was the body of the phone, then that's a different story...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
I have a small one on my phone and I noticed that the darker the screen is while it is turned on the easier it is to see. If you turn the bightness up to middle or more you can't see it while on the phone or internet. Just try not to look at it while the phone is off, I tend to keep trying to rub it off and just make it worse....Why didnt I use ghost armor...oh wait I know why cause the Thunderbolt has Gorilla Glass.....I am not buying stock in that strach proof technology.

I searched all over but couldn't find anything on it. When I put my phone in to hotspot tether and when I connect my laptop I get a DNS not responding. So if I shut my phone off and turn it back on it works fine. On occasion it will give me the same error while online doing my business.

At first I thought it was a issue with my wifi adapter. Do I would uninstall in device manger but no luck. Restart the laptop didn't work. I have to restart the phone just turning the hotspot off an back on doest work either. As well as USB tether.

Any suggestions to try or maybe use an app instead of what's built into cm7. Thanks in advance

Has anyone noticed any increase or decrease in droped calls? I've tried 3 different roms and I don't think it's the rom but after about 5 minutes the calls just drop. Also people on the other end complain that my voice is hard to hear...like I I'm not speaking loud enough. I have the .30 radio. I've tried the newer radio but not sure if the 1 bar issue is really 1 bar or just a glitch.

Apparently, Titanium Backup can not make a backup of all the cyanogenmod specific system settings. Within Titanium Backup, there is a system file called CM SETTINGS but it does not contain the necessary data to perform a restore on the cyanogenmod specific system settings.

Is there a way to manually copy the settings? Does anyone know what files would need to be backed up? I am getting really tired of redoing all my custom Light Levels for the Automatic Brightness when I do a full system wipe.

Best Regards.
[Desire General] jbirdvegas:
I can't think of where it is off the top of my head but I think those are in secure_settings.db

You will probably run into parsing errors because this database is build on the first boot
[Desire General] Tsjoklat:
I was wrong. Titanium Backup is capable of doing a complete restore on all the cyanogen specific settings. I just had to use a Batch restore and select everything instead of trying to restore manually each piece at a time. Great.
[Desire General] nomailx:
Didn't work for me.

For some reason, the normal settings are Backed up and restored, but not cyanogen. The icons are there, and are all selected.
[Desire General] in1400:
For me it worked without any Problems
[Desire General] Tsjoklat:
The critical system components are "green". Make sure you backup those before you try to restore the cyanogenmod specific settings. I think the latest version of Ti Backup now backs up the wallpaper settings in another system component.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] iMko92:
I definitely don't like the ASUS touch keyboard that we all have by default in our tablets. Uninstalling this keyboard means lose the keymapping of the physical keyboard :eek:.

You don't need to follow this guide if you have a US keyboard, because if you uninstall the ASUS keyboard the physical one will acquire automatically the US layout.

If you live in another country and you don't want to write with the american layout, then this is the guide for you ;).

We are going to map the physical keyboard in order to function with the Android 3.x one.

-

Requirements

-

Eee Pad Transformer TF101 non US model

*** ROOT access ***

Root Explorer (or an equivalent app that let you modify system files)

-

Step by step guide

-

Remove the tablet from its dock (necessary to avoid FCs)

Change the default input method to "Android Keyboard" (Settings -> Language and input -> Current input method)

Open root explorer and navigate to the /system/usr/keychars folder

Mount the folder in R/W mode (you have to read "Mount R/O" to do this)

Rename (longpress -> Rename) the file "asusec.kcm" to "asusec.kcm.old" (without quotations)

Go back to the /system/usr folder and open the "xt9" and then the "keychars"

Copy the file "qwerty-xx_XX.kcm" that corresponds to your keyboard language (longpress -> Copy)

Go back to the /system/usr folder and reopen the "keychars"

Paste the file in this folder

Rename the file that you pasted to "asusec.kcm" (always without quotations)

Reboot the tablet

Enjoy!!! :D

Now if you want you can safely

remove the ASUS keyboard

:

Open Root Explorer and navigate to the /system/app folder

Remember to mount the folder as R/W

Find the file "XT9IME.apk" and rename it to "XT9IME.apk.old" (w/out quotations)

Don't mind the FCs the system shows and reboot the tablet

Reopen Root Explorer

Navigate to the /system/lib folder

Check the R/W mounting

Rename the file "libjni_xt9input.so" to "libjni_xt9input.so.old"

Rename the file "libjni_xt9kcm.so" to "libjni_xt9kcm.so.old"

Reboot

Enjoy your free-from-ASUS tablet :cool:

All the credits for this last guide go to sirmx, who in his post pointed out the files to rename.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I am sending my phone back into samsung for repair, and I want to bring it back to its stock condition. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed CW recovery, and installed superuser with no problems, however cannot seem to figure how to go into reverse. I understand how to re-lock the bootloader. I have read on the forums through the countless amounts of people asking this. I am however trying to use the ROM for the GTJ61 build found from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13478981 When I try to use Clockwork Recovery, and go to restore, it states there is a MD5 mismatch. Am I suppose to install from zip or update from SD with CWR, or should I try to flash everything back onto there? I do not know what to do. Am I even trying to use the right ROM? The GTJ61 build is the original build that came on my phone, but would another one work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:

all you have to do is clear your data, flash the stock rom and stock recovery, and then lock the bootloader

Thank you very much. I figured it out. All I have to do now is destroy the evidence on my sd and seen my NS away.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I realize superuser is still alive and well after I did everything. How I would I get rid of it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
I just uninstalled it. it might have gotten restored when you logged in with your gmail account. did you wipe data and the cache with cwm before you flashed the rom?

edit: did the ots update to 2.3.4 install fine for you?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I am guessing you mean ota. I ended up using the 2.3.4 rom. Should I have used the 2.3.3? Yes I did clear out the cache and factory reset.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
I did mean ota lol. my bad. where'd you get a 2.3.4 rom from?

edit: if you used the 2.3.4 rom from the thread you posted, just be aware that it isn't official. i'm not sure if the link I posted has the official rom, but you can download OTA updates with it so I would assume that it's pretty damn official lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I don't know too much on the subject, but I'm afraid that since it is a different build in the link you suggested that I will mess up my radio settings. I don't know if it would make a difference but when I did install superuser it was from CWR and not adb from the command prompt. Do think I should use the 2.3.3 rom you suggested?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
I don't know much about it either, but I would assume that you should put it on a stock rom if you're sending it back into samsung. I could be totally wrong though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I just am not sure if having super using on there would make a difference. They are suppose to do a wipe anyway. But I will contact them to make sure. It would still be nice to have superuser gone though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
I would guess that superuser would be one of the first things they check for to see if you broke warranty. you could just uninstall it and wipe everything through cwm again to make sure it's gone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I managed to fix everything. I just was searching through the system folder of the 2.3.4 rom and to my surprise there was little old superuser. So I deleted the .apk and bin files. After that I restored the ROM. Fixed everything. The stress of sending in a phone with superuser is gone and I am back to being stocked
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Two questions for you OP:

1. How do you have a warranty on a I9020A? Is it the subsidized version from Best Buy (i.e. "AT&T's sanctioned model")

2. Why do you need warranty repair? What broke?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
Yes I got my phone from best buy. I just registered the imei with samsung and I am under the 1 year warranty. I have a problem with my battery draining 80% in 6 hours little to no use with all radios besides 2g turned off. I know that the NS has not so stellar battery life, but there is genuinely a problem with mine. It cannot even survive for half a day.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Hmm, I had that very issue with three past i9020a's (two from Amazon, one white one from Newegg). They were all the Rogers model, which is said to be identical to the one Best Buy is selling as a subsidized model.

I just bought another i9020a on eBay (no, I never learn) and hope to try some fancy methods to save on battery life (ROMs, etc). I also experienced VERY slow 3G with the i9020a on AT&T's 3G network here in the US. Like 300kbs download slow. I read that if you flash the radio to KB3 it gets very fast, like HSPA 3G should be.

I don't care about rooting and flashing because my phone will not have a warranty. I do, however, suspect that there is nothing wrong with your phone, rather the battery life is just random. One of the i9020a models I had drained a fresh charge in like 3 hrs of sitting idle w/full bars. The phone was burning hot. I restarted it, charged it up, and it lasted over 16 hrs the next time. Very erratic and strange, but that seems to be par for the course with the NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleepyFox:
I would first see if the phones you bought were registered yet. You never know when you would need samsung to take care of something for you. The correct radio for the US ATT is UCKE1. You should be getting data speeds of about 3.3 megabits. My battery has been consistently low.
