First off, I would like to thank ALL of you for the amazing, helpful info that you provided me. I am very grateful to all of you for taking the time to read my post and provide excellent feedback.

In regards to the brick bug, I'm now feel reassured in moving forward with upgrading my phone, and putting the worry of the brick bug behind me. I will still follow through with everyones advice in reading the directions carefully and re-reading them, and re-re-reading the posts and instructions to avoid hard bricking my E4GT.

A special thank you is in order to peanut1596; for when you take the time to write me a private message to assist me in the best method of upgrading my phone to ICS. Your effort and time will not go overlooked.

From here on out, I'm going to take everyones advice, and look into the you tube vids that you have suggested, and watch them multiple times before proceeding.

Thank you all for also making me aware of the possible problems I might experience, such as problems with MMS, video recording in more than 420p, etc.

Again, many thanks to everyone on here for all their feedback. I can't say it enough, you all have my sincere gratitude in making me feel welcome to this community, and I hope that in the future... I will be able to pay it forward to someone else in need.

If anyone has any more advice, I sincerely look forward to reading it. I appreciate all help and will keep everyone posted on any roadblocks I run into. Before I update my phone, I will post a new thread on what my plan of action is, and hope I can get the final "go" on if my plan is prudent from the community.

Thank you all again, I sincerely appreciate it. :o

Do galaxy note csses fit the tab 5.0
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DimeDrl:
Doubt it. The Note has a 5.3" screen, so it's slightly larger than the SGP 5.0 is.

And, also, Galaxy Note is thinner, than 5.0, so, even if Note was 5 inches, player is too "fat" for it's case/

Lg nitro hd brick new battery for download mode

HI, you buy a new battery, and how you resolve the problem, works with the new battery lg nitro hd bricked download mode?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
You guys wrote to the wrong memory blocks in your phone and you essentially destroyed your phone. As of this time LG are the ONLY people on the planet that can fix your phone. You might want to see if they can send it ACTUALLY to lg, because you probably only sent it to a service center that LG contracts for warranty work in your area. You overwrote download mode so there is NOTHING you can do to fix your phone.

Don't waste your money on a new battery, it WILL NOT solve your problem
[LG Nitro HD] santiagoanders:
This is not true. MobileTechVideos has a JTAG repair service that worked to start my LG Nitro booting again.

Only problem is now the USB doesn't work except in download mode, and the IMEI shows 0.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aadil7:
hello all

to start off with this has nothing to do with flashing!

basically my phone got barred/blocked so i could not receive or make any phone calls.. this happened this morning

i had purchased my phone off somebody else on the side.. but i have proof of contact made between us and also have proof that i had used the device from my network provider and i also have the box proving that i never stole the handset.

i want to know who i can contact to record this as a fraudulent case but most importantly get my phone unbarred! I am from the UK so bare that in mind my international buddies :)

all help is much appreciated

thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stoney73:
Take it to the police with your documents and give them the name of the person you bought it from.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aadil7:
the police said that it is a civil case and not a criminal case (i take it as they are just lazy!)

they told me to call the citizen advice bureau but when i called they didnt pick up
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
You state that you 'used the phone on your providers network', so it did work ?

When you buy something 2nd hand you have no warranty, that's the way it works.

Where is the fraudulent part ??:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joe2316:
If you have been sold stolen goods then that is a crime.

That, my friend, is a criminal offence. Go back to the rozzers and report a crime.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mogambo000:
Happened to me once also when i bought an iPhone 3GS of gumtree. Police or anyone else didn't give a damn at all. Tried citizen bureau, trading standards etc none of them honestly gave a f**k

So ended up using it as an iPod touch for a month, until one day i tried my luck and went to an apple store and explained the situation to them. They took the barred phone and gave me a working one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
and what has XDA got to do with your barred phone? change the IMEI if you can!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kumabjorn:
you can do that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rulinglionadi:
Barred/Blocked is because of the Network provider...contacting them would solve the problem i guess ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Dont do IMEI change . Its a crime.

Act as a honest person and walk into the nearby Samsung Store/ Polics STation and explain the situation.

IMEI change can be done only by Samsung following their own security protocols.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Volcanodancer:
I would suspect the device is stolen or in breach of contract. All European networks will block it and getting it unblocked is a massive chore.

If the person who originally got the phone on contract then didn't pay the bills or got the contract using falsified documents then the provider can lock the device as technically that would be theft by fraud.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
I suspect this is the most likely explanation, even if the phone came in a original box, it may be have been stolen from a shop, or a delivery truck. Then the shop owner sends a list of the stolen IMEIs and they are blocked.

Or some other reason that IMEI was blocked. I went to a pawn shop to sell an old phone this weekend and they check the IMEI on a data base, and test that the phone can make calls before giving you the money. And your name and a copy of your ID is registered, in case someone has declared that phone as lost or stolen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aadil7:
Thanks for the replys guys

And no i dont expect xda to help unbarr my phone i never wrote that so read before you post noncense..

I am going to call the citizens advice bureau in 5 mins anyway see what they actually say.. i am determined to get to the bottom of this and get my imei unblocked the right way and get that guy done for fraud..

I have spoken to o2 also where he originally got the phone from and they have got their fraud team working on it.. just as an update.. i want this thread to help all those people out there who dont know what to do when their phone gets barred..

Justice will be served one way or another!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aadil7:
Well i just called tge citizens advice bureau and i honestly dont know why they even bother opening because nobody seems to want to pick up the phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RavenY2K3:
Thank the coalition government and it's cut backs for that one!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Matchstick:
Do you have contact details for the person who sold the phone to you ?

If so then your best option may well be to get try getting your money back from them either volutarily or via Small Claims Court.

I've not done it myself but people I know have tried it say that small claims court action is pretty strightforward and simple as long as you have documentation to support your claims.

https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/web/mcol/welcome

If you don't have contact details, did you do the trade via a site like AV-Forums ? If so the admins there might be able to assist you in finding them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aadil7:
Thanks for the response..

I got it off ebay but i dealt with him on the side so i sent him an email and i went to pick the phone up in person and i paid cash.. he seemed like a nice chap plus he had good feedback..

The thing with tgese claims is that they cost to put a claim through and thats something im trying to minimize as a student without a job! Plus time wise they seem to take forever!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
he purchased a phone from somebody who might have stolen it, thus it was requested to be blocked by the owner.

purchasing stolen goods is also a crime in many places. and where i live, the police can even track your identity via your sim card if you use it on a "hot" IMEI.

keep the phone as audio-video and/or game console.

Just wondering if someone could give me the final word on this as I've done some searches and have heard mixed things. Should this be ticked? Is the number of apps left out there that might malfunction with it enabled so low as to make it worthwhile to keep it on?

And does it really make a difference on a phone that's already so powerful?

Thanks.

I can't say definitively that Force GPU Rendering option on will improve things.

I would say it would but there where be some apps that may crash because of this option

Also if your phone is not on 1.29...then Force GPU Rendering will not stay on (my One X is still on 1.28 and when I tick Force GPU Rendering, when I leave the Developer Options screen the option is unticked)

I am looking to get a new Sprint phone this week. I have narrowed it down to the EVO LTE or the Galaxy Nexus. Both look great in person, not sure what route to go. Thanks guys
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
evo for sure...the specs are much better and it will be even better when roms like cm9 and aokp get some stability
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I say wait a few more days and then you can compare the EVO 4g LTE, galaxy nexus and the Galaxy s3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I agree. Go with the evo. In a couple months you will be able to choose a really good aosp room if you want like the person before me said plus you get better cpu, better screen, kickstand, better camera, sd card, and the phone just feels better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
EVO hands down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vulcZ:
If the choice is between those two models then the EVO winds hands down, but in my opinion, with the Galaxy S III coming out very soon, you'd be foolish not to wait and AT LEAST compare/play with both (EVO and GS3) before making your final decision.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teknikk7:
specs look almost identical between evo and gs3. coming from the gs2 im leaning towards the evo for build quality...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teknikk7:
Wow, just noticed the non removable battery. Deal breaker. Polly go with GS3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkout01:
I thought the same but figured I would try it out and see how the battery was first. I'm glad I did the battery in this one is way better then my OG Evo and my 3D.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Yea the battery is not as big of a deal as ppl make it out . Don't let that make your decision
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
The EVO lte is on a whole different level buddy. The screen is pretty Damn accurate,unless you prefer over saturation,the battery is surprisingly better then my EVO 3d/og.I can get 6hrs screen on time and standby is ridiculous,I charge once a day when not gaming. Removable sd card :p ,oh and I'm a sense lover! The camera still amazes me day after day or should I say night after night lol. I hardly use the kickstand (got used to my evo3d). It is VERY fast for a dual 1.5 ghz. Honestly all I could ask for is maybe 512mb of more ram. It doesn't lag,but I do catch myself sometimes with only 180mb free. The only thing I like about the galaxy nexus is the ability to swap batteries. Which really isn't needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
This..

Plus the camera, I love this thing.

The kickstand is also superb.

But the screen, the SCREEN is by far the best ever IMHO. "I popped out my Otterbox Defender Screen protector excellent" not overly saturated & crisp.

I thoroughly enjoy the hardware of the EVO LTE.

If the battery is a deal breaker I'd go with the gn over the gs3 reason being you will get jelly bean on it gs3 who knows when you will get a official ota without bugs.

Not to mention stock Android experience is amazing I have yet to unlock my nexus.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
You WILL get better battery life with the evo lte,that is if the nexus is still using the stock battery. Honestly I would take the 28 nanometer any day over the omap! This sucker is fast. The gs3 would probably be quicker,so if your a Samsung fan I would wait for it. That is if you like plastic lol

Lately the Band Base are composed of 4 files, and most don't know as flashing, some say that we select the file may weight, but I found a very easy way to Flash this type of Base Band.

-First of all remove the battery to the phone and while you press the key Vol- connect the USB to PC, once the image below appears we release the key of Vol-

-Second need the program SmartFlash for Windows (at the moment for Linux there is nothing, but have been flashing since VirtualBox without problems), can download you it from here: SmartFlash_and_driver.rar - 8.4 MB

-Run SmartFlash and a window will see us like this:

-Let the window by default [Normal D/L]

-Click on [ADD] and here appears the file browser, look for the container folder of the BaseBand that previously we have achieved.

-Select the 4 files with the extension .fls and click on [Open]

-You have to see something very similar to this image:

-Click on [Start] and it will start flashing the BaseBand.

To been easy right?, is that when you know it is easy :P
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:

My phone is not showing the image on the first picture. I updated my baseband before and everything went OK, but now I don't know whats going wrong, I press VOL-, plug the cable, LG logo shows up, capacitive buttons flashes and the phone turns off.

Edit: I put the battey back and my phone entered in CWM O.o

I just turned off and tried again and entered in SW Upgrade.
[LG Optimus 2x] Homero2:
No problem, you can use the images, text, or everything, and if you want I can do tests once finished with the ROM 1.4.4 Opti-3D to CWM.

The good thing about SmartFlash is that the program knows the order of flashing, reminds me a lot to FlashTool for Infineon.
