[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
Ladies & Gentlemen,

after some research in the web I found a way to buy apps from the market without the need of a credit card!!!

With this little mod you will be able to pay the apps through your T-Mobile contract bill!

This Is Only For T-Mobile/Vodafone Germany Users!!!

For Other Provider And Countries Please Search In Google!!!

Tested And Working On

KL1 Stock ROM

And

ICS KP1 ROM

!!!

Instructions:

1. Device must be rooted!

2. Go to system folder and open build.prop as text file! Use

Root Explorer

for this!

2.1

Gingerbread Users:

- Search for the line "ro.com.google.clientidbase=***"

- Instead of *** you write "android-tmobile-de"

- At the end it should look like:

"ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-tmobile-de"

- Of course without the ""!!!

- Save and close the build.prop!

2.2

ICS Users:

- Here we don't have that line at all!!!

- We create it on our own!

- Choose any empty line in the build.prop file

- Write down the line:

"ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-tmobile-de"

- Of course without the""!!!

- Save and close the build.prop!

3. Go to app settings and choose the market.

4. Force the app to stop and clear data.

5. Start the app and check if you can pay through your contract bill!!!

6. For me it didn't show me at first. After a restart I was able to pay through bill!

Telekom: android-tmobile-de

Vodafone: android-vf-de

Have fun buying anything you want but don't forget you STILL have to pay for the apps!!! With your next T-Mobile Bill you will see it!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gkaipale:
Nice!

"Charge to Bill" is already implemented via Blackberry devices for Blackberry App World.

It is intended to be expanded for Android and iOS marketstores.

It seems that is has already started.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] haasgo:
dont own a credit card....therefore missing the offers for 0,10€ per app....any suggestions on vodafone germany?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
For Vodafone instead of the "android-tmobile-de" you write "android-vf-de" good luck!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
Yes its going on slowly...the only problem is that you normaly need a branded rom so you are able to pay this way...but with this little mod market see it as branded rom and that way you can pay through charge or contract :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ene mene bene:
i'm not able to pay via contract bill, keep trying for more than 2 weeks.

using xperia arc (re)locked bootloader and of course rooted

Only Root Explorer? I changed the build.prop with other explorers and other text editors various times.

I have two lines with clienidbase entry. Tried to change the first but not second, second but not first and both - nothing happend

:confused:

do you have any clue?

ene mene bene
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
take a screenshot of the 2 lines and let me have a look...which explorer you use doesnt matter...as long as you have root rights and can change something in that build.prop
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ene mene bene:
here you go.

actually both lines are changed
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] noke955:
Did you do these steps:?

3. Go to app settings and choose the market.

4. Force the app to stop and clear data.

5. Start the app and check if you can pay through your contract bill!!!

6. For me it didn't show me at first. After a restart I was able to pay through bill!

While doing you should also be connected via 3G, not WIFI

I read, somebody changed only the first line and it worked.

I changed both and also worked (but Vodafone)

Greetings

Norbert
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ene mene bene:
I tried it very very often, of course with 3g and no wifi connection, stopping market and clearing data and restart the phone.

I don't have an idea what happend now, nothing changed to build.prop since 5 days.

Now I stoppd market-> cleared data -> start market -> accept the t&c -> shut down -> restarted -> stopped market -> cleared data -> started market -> accept t&c -> IT WOKR'S :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
im sorry i wasnt home till now but i see you made it work! have fun guys and dont forget to hit the thanks button ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BigCeyCey:
Works with o2 to?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
as far as i know just telekom and vodafone works at the moment. other providers doesnt activated it till now. when it happens i will inform you guys.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Paulikid:
It's important that the option to block third party providers isn't set, it won't work otherwise

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sangrias:
Don´t work for me.

Tmobile, KK5 and Market 3.4.4

I also tried this:

Every time i get the message: Error, An error is occured. Please try again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
What country? Germany?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sangrias:
Natürlich :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
Then it should work definitely. Try the steps in wrote in first post. It has to work. For me it works with every rom. Don't forget to close market and delete cache and restart.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sangrias:
Works now after a Factory reset, delete the creditcard information and another 2 stop market and delete data.

strange
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] H-KaN:
it is strange...i didnt need to delete my cc information before...at least it works now ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phirewire110:
Everytime I hit search in Google Maps, a long list of previous searches appears.

Anyone know how to prevent this?

I've checked settings and couldn't find anything.

Not only to prevent it but couldn't delete any search entry's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Does deleting maps app data from settings>apps do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burningembers:
I'd like to know this as well. I don't even know where its pulling it from, I'm seeing things I don't think I've ever searched for (but maybe I have).

I've tried clearing cache and clearing search history...no go...

edit: Okay, so I cleared web search history by going to maps.google.com on a desktop and clearing that history and turning off Web Search History permanently.

However, it still pops up a number of searches, which turns out are Personalized recommendations (creepy). And unfortunately, it doesn't appear there is any way to turn that off on the phone (you can turn it off on the browser by adding &pws=0 to the query string parameters).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcp2009:
I've had a few customers come in before on other droids asking how to do this. Going into manage apps and clearing data for maps or navigation usually did it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phirewire110:
That's still an inconvenient way. There should be an option to disable that

I've tried SkyICS, TPC, QuikWiz, SkyRocketeer, and CM7. So far CM7 is my favorite, though it was the biggest pain to set up and YouTube videos don't play back correctly. They're all good, and it's easy to try them, so I'd recommend trying as many as you want.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukosTheWolf:
I'm dying for any type of help here. For the life of me I can't get my phone to be recognized in download mode. I was using stock EC05, it didn't work. Rooted via oneclickroot. Unrooted with RFS/StockRecovery. Manually updated to EI22. It has not worked through any of this. Not on any computer or OS (though admittedly only been Windows XP, Vista, and 7). Not with any different cable. Not with any different port. I've reinstalled the drivers hundreds of times as well. Windows recognizes it when it's off. When it's powered up and connected in debug mode there are no issues whatsoever. The end result I'm looking for is rooted EI22. So a few questions:

1. What exactly is download mode and how is it different from having the device on/off?

My phone is obviously not communicating what it is in this state.

2. What driver/s does the PC look for to communicate with download mode?

3. Are there any workarounds to getting download mode to work (in other words, could mine just be bugged in some way that can be updated)?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
With the phone off, press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard. Now add pressing and holding the power button until download mode pops up. This is used to Odin or Heimdall files in. If you are on EC05 rooted you can simply backup with Titanium Backup and flash a custom EI22 ROM that will be prerooted. Then you can upgrade the modem if you like.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Dang kenny always hogging the q&a help id like to feel like a hero sometimes too XD. Btw he didn't ask how to get into DLmode he can't get odin to com.

Anways try popping out the sd card and battery using the computer as the power source and get into download mode. Odin seems to like certain phones in that state. I think download mode is a path to the phones brain cavity ^^ kinda like a zombie willing to do what ever you tell it (odin).

HaHa, B. I didn't see where he put the phone into download mode in the OP. This one is all yours. I will go watch football and leave Q&A in your capable hands tomight.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukosTheWolf:
Thanks for the quick replies!

I've tried sans battery, SD card, and any combination thereof. I'm completely stumped! My last attempts were reinstalling drivers with the phone in each state. Still no luck. By the by - I can say with some confidence that:

Odin is not the problem. With the phone up in debug mode Odin recognizes it just fine.

My PC could be the problem, but that would mean so were all the others I've tried.

Guess I'm just curious if maybe download mode changes voltage to the USB or some other anomaly. If that were the case maybe a separate, powered port might be the answer. I'll keep digging!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
So your saying you can't get Odin to com while in download mode?

With any different cable or USB port.....

I remember having a similiar issue when you have in download mode does it read as an unknown device in device manager on your PC?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
A good idea would be to let windows install the drivers it could be the drivers your installing are bad. If it comes up as unknown there is a process to get it to install custom drivers but id have to figure it out again I forget it exactly.

Sent from my OG Epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukosTheWolf:
Custom drivers may be the solution. The drivers installed work perfectly. Depending on the state of the phone, it identifies itself in different ways to the PC. Being off, on as charging or storage, and on as debug all return with different identities, and Windows loads the appropriate drivers. Download mode only ever gets "Unknown Device" and Windows seems to think that no other inf file contains information about the device (obviously false since those same files allow it to be identified as an Android device)... Leading me to believe that Download mode is not identifying itself correctly to the PC.

Again thanks for all the help this is giving me a new search angle.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you try "update drivers" from Windows with phone in usb debugging on mode? There are 5 drivers it needs and may take awhile to load the last one. The other option is to try Heimdall which loads it's own drivers. It is in the second post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052813

B, you handled this perfectly...sorry for butting in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Yep okay windows recognises it as unknown I know exactly how to work around that. You have to go into the device manager and unistall the software it tried to install for the unknown device. Once you do that advance install the drivers you have and it should recognise it make sure you don't unplug and odin goes thru the first time otherwise you'll have to do it again. also make sure it says successfully installed and your hardware is ready to use. Good luck.

Thank you all for the continued support.

Heimdall also seems to rely on Windows first recognizing the device which is the only step I'm having problems with. Perhaps someone could connect in download mode and give me the specs on what driver/s windows loaded (I'm using XP, 32-bit)? I have 6 instances reserved for my device already. I'm attempting to manually install each device that shows up while in debug now. Let's see how that goes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
For my win xp 32 it shows three drivers installing the Samsung usb composite device, Gadget Serial Component ( I think its that didn't write it down) and the Samsung mobile modem with these three Odin coms instantly. Ill send you the drivers I use it may make a difference.

Sent from my OG Epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukosTheWolf:
I'm getting an "installation package could not be opened" error. However, I paired your earlier suggestions and now it works! Here's what I did:

Connected in debug mode so the Samsung Android USB Composite Device showed up. I then had Heimdall install its driver. I notice this DOES replace the PC device driver from ssad...(something) to WinUSB. Then I uninstalled the driver installation package. I was using SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe that came with Kies. I turned the device off and booted into Download Mode, then reinstalled the driver package. Somewhere along the lines those last 2 instances (Samsung USB Composite Device, Samsung Mobile Modem) decided to show up!! Finally, I'm rooted again. Thank you all so much!

And if anyone was curious, there is a difference between the modes. Phone off or powered on and connected reports a power of 96mA. When it's in Download Mode, it's at 50mA! I used the utility USBDeview for the statistics. Also attached a screen of the basics reported on my PC. I highlighted all the stuff involved in the driver installation, the phone was off. I hope this helps anyone else.

Thanks again!!

Device Unknown 700

Years later in a world full of HTC Ones, Galaxy S4s and Nexus 7 part two, one warrior emerges to a post which has been untouched for two long year's...to present the second half of this...dilema.

How was that for an entrance? I have the same issue as our original poster here. I tried the solution that helped him solve his case and all it did was completely make my girls D700 unseeable by ODIN even when on USB Debugging and on. Download mode is just giving me the crappy "Unknown Device" excuse. Got this phone MINTish for $20 as my girls temporary phone, and for 3 weeks since I got it have been stuck on this one. This and my HTC Evo 4G LTE have been my worst devices in history.

I got a BlackBerry USB as some recommend, installed the actual drivers, installed them ziagwhachumucallit drivers and no good.

I'm in hell with this one...

Any of you guys wanna help out on this one?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckenheimer:
I'm in a similar situation as this. My SPH-D700 has the People's ROM 2.22 with firmware 2.3.6 on the Sprint network with RingPlus.net as my provider (if this information makes any difference). I just allowed the presently installed Samsung USB drivers to detect the device and powered into download mode whereupon the appropriate devices in the device manager disappeared as expected. But when the phone booted into download mode, I immediately saw the USB device become unrecognized which brings me to where I am at the moment.

After all my trials and tribulations to this point, I am at a loss as to why the phone is behaving in this manner and am soliciting competent advice as to what I need try next. I have followed every other suggestion but to no avail. Please consider my request. Thank you.

Dear guys,help me please

I flashed 2.3.6kpq recently,and then my imei is lost

and so is baseband(unknown).

as i backed up my efs before it doesn't work,I use efsbackup pro 1.2.6 to restore efs files , it prompt success ,but actually not work.

Then i excute adb shell su "df -h" commond ,it displays as in my attachments：

it seems like my efs partition argument is wrong ,but i don't know how to rescue,please help.3qs
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
what is the name of your backup files sir.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I know you only just upgraded, but try downgrading back to your last backup state (you may have to flash all stock first before restoring). try another program like nitrality, aka insanity toolbox (available from the first page of the cranium 3.1 thread). use that to backup your efs, and if it still goes missing after upgrading to 2.3.6 again, use that to restore it. btw, how did you upgrade? odin or kies?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deal42:
my backup file is efs.rfs, using command “dd:if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs” ,

I tar this file to efs.tar.

I used to try to flash efs.tar by odin 1.8.3,but a progress bar was not shown，it stopped when“analysing files” 。

and then I used “efs pro” to restore efs，still not work。

that's it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deal42:
I upgraded to 2.3.6kpq from 2.3.4kph by odin, after there were something wrong, I downgraded to 2.3.4 by odin, nothing good.

I've never used kies. that sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
so if you had an issue with odin and downgraded already how did you do it? just flash that fw pda, or start over from kpe? you should start over from kpe (if G) or whatever your were on on froyo, and when you get back to your old fw, restore your backup and your efs should be there again...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deal42:
3qs,gus,problems done!!!!!!!

I tar this "efs.rfs" file in ubuntu 10.10 operating system(USING VMWARE),and flash it in odin,

reboot , all things down .my IMEI is back!!!!!!!!3QS ANYWAY!

Cmon. This has been answered (or just use common sense). Its a CDMA phone locked to Verizon. You can't put in an AT&T SIM, whether its provisioned for LTE or not. It won't work.
