Stuff on Cowboom are used and you might not get the best looking device. Just a heads up to people buying. From past the description does not describe it well.
[Member-Found Deals] mally2:
what is cowboom guys.. why wont they post real pics
[Member-Found Deals] Segnale007:
I was about to buy one, but it took me just few secs to realize how bad reputation this site has among customers, all I been able to find was negative feedbacks.

So I decided to pass.

The fact that they're calling it an android phone should be a red flag in itself.

"may be missing parts or accessories"

lolwut?

then also reads "fully functional"

so if it's missing the digitizer and camera, I'm good to go.

"Android phone"?!?

oh my...
[Member-Found Deals] Stonent:
If anyone is curious, here is how some things get to Cowboom.

First they start off here

http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/

Then go here

http://www.dealtree.com/

Then here

http://www.cowboom.com

They can also be returned items to Best Buy that the vendor will not accept back.

Many times they are reffered to Key-Outs, Inventory Adjustments or Write Offs.

Sometimes vendors like Apple will say "We'll give you credit on 50,000 items this year and that is it" and after that they will no longer take things back. They may also have in their sales contract that they will not sell certain items "open box" in store as it tarnishes the brand, so bestbuy has to go through sites that they own like dealtree and cowboom to liquidate the items.

In case y'all arnt following the HD2 development, which obviously y'all have no reason to-but the HD2 has one of the top android developments on xda. We have hacked the phone to run over five different ooperating systems such as android and WP7. These are not buggy loaders, but all fully functional and dailies. Just check put the HD2 android development forum through my signiture and.check it out. We have every single base except Touch Wiz. Fully functional sense 3.5, android 4.0, you name it. I highly reccomend this phone for anybody who lobes playing around with all kinds of android builds/bases, WP7, W6.5, meego, and more.

I am assuming you're talking about MIUI 10.28.1.0. So what steps did you do to flash it? Were you coming from an MTD rom already (CM7)? Is there anything else not working?

You should probably to a clean wipe and install it properly.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunklefunk:
Yes it is MIUI 10.28.1.0.

I rebooted to recovery. Wiped cached and dalvik and wiped data. Did install from SD disk. I cannot uninstall programs and the file manager crashes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunklefunk:
What is considered a clean wipe & proper install?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
Sounds like data didn't wipe properly somehow. I would try Odin back to ED05 or some other stock package, then go to Miui 10.28.1. 10.28.1 is great seems to be the most stable version since 9.16.

Pulled from the Inspire forums and can confirm working mod.

PROCEDURE FOR ROMS WITH A SINGLE LOCKED APN:

If your APN is locked (it shows the lock symbol and you cannot change the settings), then we're just going to add a second one.

From the APN screen, press Menu>>New APN. Here are the settings for your 2nd APN. Everything is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as below.

Name: Media Net (if your 1st locked APN is named Media Net, then just name this one Media Net2 - this name in this field isn't important as long as it's unique)

APN: Phone

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (this option might not be in your APN, so don't worry if you don't see it)

MCC: xxx (Don't change this number)

MNC: xxx (Don't change this number)

APN type: default,admin,hipri (notice there are no spaces between the words and the commas)

APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4

Everything else: <Not set>

Once you have the above settings entered, press menu and save. You will exit back out to the APN selection screen. Now you need to select the little round button for the new APN (Media Net/Phone) that you just created. Your phone's data connection will drop for several seconds as it switches to the new APN, and then come back. If you find that your connection doesn't "stick" on the 2nd APN (i.e. the selection button keeps reverting back to the 1st APN) then reboot your phone and try selecting the 2nd APN again.[/COLOR][/B] It is mandatory that the 2nd APN is selected in order for the speed benefit.

We're done. If something went wrong and you need to revert back to your default APN config, from the APN selection screen just press menu and select "Reset to default".
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Will this allow tethering without the tethering plan?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sh4dow1:
Thanks I can confirm it works great no need to root my phone now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Correct. I am on a $30 Unlimited LTE data plan no tethering but have it enabled with this mod.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Awesome!! Thanks!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Even better it drops us off of LTE, i.e. we can now turn the darn thing off and save some battery
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
This doesnt let you use LTE 4g while doing tetherning. After adding this apn it kicks you to the HSPA+ 4g.

But this is an easy way to create an easy way to switch between LTE and HSPA+

Edit: also it didnt allow me to do tethering. Said i had to dial 611 and get it added.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
I seem to be doing something wrong... I made the second APN and activated it. When I try to use the WiFi Hotspot App, I get a message about adding tethering. Should I be using a different app?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
This may be but my internet icon has not changed. Showing 4G but that is probably due to the market I am in is not an LTE market.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
Yea when you are on the 4g LTE network, there is a little LTE underneath the 4g symbol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Have you followed step by step? Yes? Then have you tried rebooting the phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
Is there any way you can update that APN to work with LTE 4g.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Sorry as of now I don't have a way. Will be figuring that out shortly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tech1208:
Does not work for me.

Followed steps and reboot. No good.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Not Working

It works for a second and then it reverts back to that you need a tethering plan. Any other info. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
I've ran it for about 2 gigs today and had no issues. Also once you turn it off the next time you wanna do it you will have to switch back to the stock APN and then back to the one you made. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing right now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Frag x 3:
I didn't use these settings to enable tethering, but I entered them just to get ANY sort of data connection. It definitely solved my issues. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tamcamry:
Won't revert to default

I set up an apn for hspa+ before I could get a 4g sim. I've switched sims and now I wanted to go back to default and it said I had no data due to an apn error. The radial box is selected for the original apn.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sentinel_cm:
It would work for a second and my laptop would see the network but quickly went back to telling me to go to AT&T and get a tethering plan. However Having the second APN seems to help when the data gets flaky, which is VERY often. Speeds are erratic and I often can't get ANY data.

Was just reading that orange branded phones are having 2.3.5 today (UK)

Anyone confirm that? I'm unbranded i would of though I would have it if they do

And yes I know I can root and do it myself, is Kies just rubbish at updating!?

Ah, my code is XEU too, so I guess mine is unbranded too. Very strange, I always thought that unbranded phones got their updates first?

It's not random, simply put Orange, vodafone and three in the UK have it, Samsung have chosen not to release it to unbranded sets yet..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungwarrior:
Sorry not able to edit my earlier post, but just got back from Scotland and checked my gs2 and its only 2.3.4, kies has written the information in a format I haven't seen before instead of the usual three entries, I have four all no gaps and smaller font and because of the mix of XX and XW I thought I had 2.3.5. Still wish I'd kept my earlier firmware though. Sorry if I gave any one false hopes.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] porcupineadvocate:
So, using Revolutionary alters your bootloader and so you can no longer receive OTA updates that check that your HBOOT (bootloader) is unmodified. This is pretty much all OTA updates, so you can't recieve OTA at all, save by flashing an uploaded image.

I'd like to receive OTA updates (especially with Honeycomb on the horizon), but I'd also like to root my Flyer. Is this possible? Via installing CWM through HTCDev.com bootloader unlock, maybe? Or does that break OTA updates too?

The HTCDev.com unlock leaves you with S-On, apparently.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Completely incorrect

All that is required is that you reflash the stock revcovery once you have installed the su zip file.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] porcupineadvocate:
Really? Wow, great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Insinr8:
Sorry for the dumb question... but stock recovery?

So flashing again once you have rooted, you will keep root and the updates will be ok?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Stock recovery = the one from an RUU or OTA.

Yes, in theory at least. If you ever did get su disabled by an OTA, reflash cwm, reflash su.zip, reflash stock recovery again.

[HTC EVO 3D] pentabarf:
I get "pages" sent to my phone using an automated system that send the message by SMS. These messages come into my phone from an email address. The biggest problem that I run into is that the email address is different for each message.

I need to be able to set a different notification tone for these messages than my other messages, so that I can be alerted as soon as I get these, where my regular texts will usually wait until I get a few minutes to look at them.

Theses messages will come from alert1234@domain.com. The number of the alert will be different in each message. If they all came from the same address, this would be a simple thing, and I would already have it done.

So my question is, does anyone know of any way that I can add a contact or any other means of differentiating these messages using the domain name of the email address?

Hi i want to take camera libs from GDX and put them in CM7. like Blagus said:Camera: camera takes a lot of time. Sony promised to give binaries compiled for 2.3, but right now they're silent. It's unknown will it be fixed or not. You can take camera libs and apk from GDX if you really want full camera on official CM7.

can some one tell me how they are named?

Tnx
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_Castro:
Camera Libs

I guess someone already tried it and it was not successful.

Maybe you can try it.

libcamera.so

libcamera_client.so

libcameraservice.so

Maybe you need to take the cam apk from GDX also to make it work.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Flandria4:
Hi guys,

I've come across a rare problem, I can't find other people having the same problem with the same device.

I flashed my 1yo GT-I5800 from 2.1 to FROYO, I5800XXJPF version.

I tried the guide here on xda, but that provides me 'one package' files and my phone wouldn't come further as the 'samsung' screen. After a lot of research I found a person with the same problem and the problem basically was that when using 'one package files', you apparently flash your bootloader too. So I searched for a firmware version with separate files, flashed first back to the original version (so that my phone would have the original bootloader) and then flashed, without the bootloader to a stable version.

Everything works like a charm, I'm very happy with it, but I have big issue... the most crucial part of the phone is not working, namely the sim card. My phone doesn't complain about it at all, had no errors, only the notification that I can only make emergency calls.

My question is: what should I do to fix this? I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related, since other sim cards don't work as well and mine works on other phones. Some people had the same problem, but this was because their phone booted in airplane mode.

tl;dr

I flashed my phone 2.1 to 2.2, the sim card slot doesn't work anymore, software related.

I'm really looking out for any answers, thanks in advance!

PS: Since I cannot move threads, I made a copy of this one earlier on another forum here around. Since this is also a good section for my question, I posted here the same thread, since in the other section people don't(/can't?) answer my question.
[General Questions and Answers] Smonic:
Flash the XXJPU latest firmware as it is a lot smoother, faster and less buggy (if it has any bugs at all).

Now, as to your question, i think it may be due to you not having any signal. Check that your phone is not in airplane mode and also go outside or somewhere you have good signal. Another suggestion would be to call up your sim card provider and ask if they are facing any technical difficulties.
[General Questions and Answers] Flandria4:
@Smonic

Okay, I'll try that version. To your solution: my phone just doesn't see the sim card, not even my contacts. It is not in airplane mode, I checked this already and mentioned that in my post.

Thanks for your respond, but unfortunately it didn't solved my question yet. I'll update you if the new firmware worked if I find it.

Update about firmware: Found the I5800 firmware you posted half a month ago, flashed to that version but it didn't solve the problem. He recognizes my sd card when I put that in, but still not my sim card.

Any ideas?

GUYS what happened to all of you...??? Dont you want that our phone should get developement like other top developement phones like Galaxy s2 or Galaxy S??? Only CM7 or CF root is not enough guys. Poerting mods, themes can be done at any time guys but we all know that we really require a great kernal developer who will develope great kernals which will make phone snappier like never before. In galaxy S2 or Galaxy S section you will see tons of custom kernal which is done by them. In older days we had skin but now really we need to major step guys for our phone. Codeworkx already said that once ICS will release alll he will pay attention to GALAXY S & S2 phone. Then again we will be alone with our phone for long time. So guys please dont be restrict yourself upto some themes or mods. Dont make urself busy with new officially roms released by samsung. They can deeply reviwed by us later. But right now donation & more important KERNAL developement is more necessary.

I just want that u have to just donate a very small amount say like 200-300 Rs (5-6 $ USD) which we usually spend on some non-important things. If we donate today it will refund u in form of high level kernal development. So please I again & again requesting u to take some initiative. No other developer will come to help us. Unless & until they have phone in hand no developer can develop virtually for our phone. THINK GUYS SERIOUSLY ABOUT THIS PLEASE :o:o:o.
