[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rockofclay:
TL/DR: I need a copy of the stock aussie roadhound firmware.

I've been using CM7 unofficial and CWM 5.0.2.6 recovery for a while on my plain u8800. The other day, the phone randomly shut it self down (wasn't plugged in).

It was stuck in a boot loop, and the only thing that would get it out was clearing cache and resetting permissions.

When the phone restarted I was presented with the setup guide again. While going through the guide, a lot of apps I had installed previously (titanium backup ect) were force closing. Although I was connected to the internet I couldn't download or sync my google account.

I skipped the setup guide, most applications didn't work, and I opened terminal. Using wifi I could ping googles dns servers by IP (8.8.8.8). I tried an nslookup using that dns however, and it failed.

I tried upgrading to the latest CM7, and since then I've had a question mark over my battery, and now only wifi works (3g/mobile worked at the start, now I can't even make phone calls.)

I'm hoping to try a stock firmware one last time, and if that fails, at least I'll be able to return my phone in that state. Unfortunately, none of the links online seem to be working.

Any Ideas/Links?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadgalaxys2:
Hi All,

Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.

Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?

Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the long message

Thanks

Sounds like you have bought a stolen phone. I don't think the network will undo the blocking. You might have to list it on eBay for people outside the UK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Circumventing such a block is illegal in most countries and discussion on it is therefore not allowed on XDA. I'd recommend contacting the police.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirCanealot:
Handling a blocked phone is technically handling stolen goods. Attempting to change the IMEI and therefore unblocking it is very illegal :P

Some people sell on a phone and then report it stolen and get it blocked and there insurance gets them a new phone. This is also illegal, so you should report it to the police...

I work in a fairly common second hand store, and it's a fairly common occurance for someone to sell in a phone and then have it blocked so they get a new one for free. Bastards... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Yup contact the police, as the phone is likely flagged now as being "stolen", meaning the original owner committed insurance fraud...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
This happened to me with my Galaxy S 1. Ended up selling it outside of the UK because outside the UK is the only place it would work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverixxx:
Yup,

same happened to me, my first smart phone turns out it had been "found" in a car park. IMEI blocked in the UK gutted but lesson is now learned.

looked into changing the IMEI but that carries a 5 year custodial sentence so written it off as expensive lesson that needed to be learnt.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
OP i do feel worry for you that you have spent a lot of money on a phone which has been blocked, just a warning to others, never ever buy anything like smart phones (or anything expensive really) on that gumtree website which is a hotbed for criminals and fraudsters, the person you bought this phone off probably got it themselves as an upgrade, they had insurance on it, they advertised it on gumtree and the mobile number they gave was a SIM card they'll probably never use again, they sold the phone, a few days later (or less) they reported the phone as stolen and it was subsequently blocked, they claimed another one on the insurance and they have your money and still have the phone, this scam has been around now for a good while which is why you should never buy on gumtree and if you do ask for a receipt and proof of purchase and i guarantee you the seller will try and say they will give you a written one,don't accept it and move on.

AVOID GUMTREE LIKE THE PLAGUE
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadgalaxys2:
Thanks for the replies everyone. Lesson definately learnt. Have reported it to gumtree so I wonder what they will say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
I doubt they can do much mate, the person you bought it off probably posted it from an internet cafe so their IP address couldn't be detected and no doubt created a fake email and obviously used another SIM card that they no doubt threw away.

Gumtree are a disgrace IMO, they are only too aware this happens but they don't post any type of warnings on their website, it should be quite clearly stated when purchasing any type of expensive items like smart phones that the prospective buyer always asks for a receipt and / or proof of payment (clearly not everyone thinks of this)

By all means report it to the relevant people but in this instance im afraid your probably screwed, sorry mate;)

I haven't updated my phone in a few months (still on Cognition 777 r1). I have two questions:

1. Why is the thread locked?

2. What's the best ROM to move on to?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrispo:
I meant which is the best in other people's opinions...

There are too many ROMs to trawl through at the moment so I was hoping for a simple pros and cons of the ROMs others had used since Cognition
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Simple if you want to know which ones are the best ones just look at the first few in the original development. Then take your pic.

Hyperdroid seems to be popular and also Checkrom. VillainRom is also a good stable rom. Those are the 3 i would suggest.

In android development try the one by Neophyte..Tried it for a few hours yesterday and its pretty fast and slick....But anyway if you are moving from Cognition and want something similar Hyperdroid it is
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Alternative is to search Best Rom .

Simple pro stock is best if you are unable to understand their is no best rom .

Just to get this out there, I asked a question about a month ago regarding creating roms and received some great feedback. The thread can be found here

I have encounter some issues using kdiff3. Every time I try to load a stock rom and a custom rom, the program terminates itself. The error has to do with a microsoft c++ runtime error. Please advise. I'm trying to compare roms so to learn more about programming and creating them.

This thread has a horribly misleading title. There is no 'official GPS fix'.

The OP posted this exact same question in the GPS issues thread and received answers but decided to make his own thread about the same issue. The OP doesn't want to read through the many pages in that thread to get the info he seeks, then why are you on the forums if you don't want to read the info about an issue that you have.

[Acer Iconia A500] criminal666:
Hello everyone, this might already have been answered, if so please point me there. Anyway, I have a new Acer Iconia Tab a500, and love it, of course. However I seem to be having a problem with my MicroSD Card. I have a 16gb MicroSD card and have formatted it, then inserted it into my tablet, however it does not seem to be working. It shows up that is is mounted, but when I open up 'App to SD' it does not display any external memory. Also if I place a video or picture file on my SD card and attempt to read it, it does not work. Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Acer/Honeycomb, does not support the phone app "apps2Sd". That's for Android version 2x. (phones and a couple of cheap tabs)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Also if you can't read from the card take it out put the card in a cell phone and format it with that. Sounds like you have older version of honeycomb and there are issues reading cards formatted with windows on some brand and file system types.

If the problem continues try a fifteenth brand SD card or posture specs including rom version of your tablet here. This will spark better help.

If you are running 3.2 and above rom most of the above does not apply
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you are worried about game data, there is an app, GL to sd. This is for Gameloft apps. And it works on HC3.2+

Other than that, the ph apps for Gingerbread, when it concerns App2SD or the others, aren't going to work on HC.

Maybe with ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] criminal666:
Thanks for the info thus far, I am running Honeycomb 3.2.1, so I am as up to date as possible, I believe? I did not know about the app not supporting Honeycomb. I will try the formatting in my cell phone and see if that helps!
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
I would stay away from GL to SD, I put it on my a500 and it brought my system to a crawl. It took me a while before I figured out was was slowing my tab down so much and finally narrowed it down to GL to SD. Transferred all my game data back to internal memory and uninstalled GL to SD and my tab is screaming fast again.
[Acer Iconia A500] dlbott:
no way

so, is there no program that will work to move the apps. I tried app to SD and it did nothing. I need to know so I can just start uninstalling apps,, also if I flash a different ROM will that get rid of installed apps. thanks, looking for a good stable kewl ROM to flash...

hey all, so is there no way to move appsor not...

Is there any way to fix this its brand new and I dont have money to replace it plus It was a gift from her mom :(:(:(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidr415:
Only the official Nook cable and charger will work for charging.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakysnake16:
But the percentage goes up, and also it never came with a wall charger only the cable....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
If it was new it came with a charger. If used, someone stiffed you. You can buy a charger and cable from B&N for $24.95. The charger and cable have additional charging pins from normal cables which is why other chargers will barely if at all charge it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakysnake16:
It was brand new but only has the cable she still has the box which only has a slot for the cable :p
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Both brand new and Barnes and Noble refurbished come complete with charger and cable. The charger is a small wall adapter with a USB socket that the cable plugs into. It can supply about 2A and over extra wires / pins which are in the official cable.

Check the box and if you didn't get the adapter then you should contact Barnes and Noble.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
You can charge your nook with a compatible cell phone charger, but you have to plug in the nook, then turn it off and leave it alone for 8 hours or so to get a full charge.

Do check for the part the cord should plug into, to plug into the wall. Call 1-800-thebook if the cord breaks (which it will!) for a free replacement. The cords are cheaply made. I am on my 5th cord - all replaced for free.

I have a question regarding baseband XXKL1/XXKP1/DXKL1.

If I use any of the above baseband, when I'm back to home from office, or when I reboot the phone while I'm at home, it creates a lot of log file named like "dumpstate_rilreset_20111228203348.log" in the /data/log folder, each of them sized from 70KB to 320KB. But if I'm in office (which is far from home), no log file will be created.

I have to flash back to the XXKI4 baseband. With XXKI4, even at home, no log file will be created.

I have attached some of the log files here. Could someone please tell me what's wrong? (And report the problem to Samsung if necessary?)

Thank you.

While looking at some ICS videos on youtube, it looks like the stock messaging app is pretty boss. I was wondering if anyone could port this to the DROID Inc 2. (Both rooted and un-rooted users). Even if it was only a theme for another messaging app, that would be good too. An inverted ICS messaging app would also be nice.

Thanks.

Edit,

I figured I ought to comment on how this rom performs. I got it into English and it may be just me, but it actually feels smoother than our Nitro rom. Since it's CDMA, phone calls don't work and the accelerometer is apparently out of whack. Wireless doesn't work. Not sure what else doesn't work, but the fact that I'm in a booted environment is comforting.

Haha that's amazing. Totally gangsta. Looks like bootloader is unlocked then.

You should return that Nitro to ATT tell them you got a Korean version of LTE and ask for a free phone. :)
