is it the single file firmware you flash? just the PDA file? thanks

i have experienced flashing firmwares long ago but just to upgrade my phone not to change to another country version. im just afraid to see bootloops and worse my phone being bricked. :mad:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Refer to the guide below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

Post #10 has a list of individual CSC packages. Just place the .tar file in the [CSC] part of Odin and flash as per the guide screenshots.

Warning: usually changing CSC will hard reset the phone (factory reset + wipe internal sdcard), so backup to PC first.

Hello,

I'm sorry if this question was already been made before.

I've installed MiniCM9 Rom with ICS 4.0 successefully, but i've a major problem, my phone does not connect to the Vodafone network mobile provider. I have a Vodafone simcard and my phone doesn´t get connection to any network.

Anyone could help?

Additional Info: Seems that the phone doesn´t recognize the simcard

you are on wrong forums mate.

This is Xperia X10 forums.We dont have any minicm9 rom.

As for your problem I think you had sim pin before on simcard. you need to disable it first in GB rom or othre phone and use it on minicm9

So i was going threw my MMS on my G2x witch is running cyanogenmod 7.2 and i found this setting called custom user-agent and when i click on it it shows me a few options to choose from such as iphone 3.0 and other devices. It said that it allows ur phones MMS to look like another devices MMS. But when i click on it, it doesnt work. Can someone tell me what it really is and why it wont work?:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
What do you mean it doesn't work? It doesn't select? I just changed it no problem.

I'm assuming what it does is for like group mms with iphone users it messes up on Android (and vice versa) so that fixes it. Other than that it shouldn't make a difference I don't think.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joker550:
Idk it doesnt work for me. Doesnt change anything
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Doesn't change what? You haven't said what you've tried. It won't really change much.

[HTC EVO 3D] AndrBoy:
Hi,

I've tried updating to ICS but got the black screen with the blue android icon and the triangle.:(

From searching the web I got mixed answers, some said that it may be because I've changed to CWM.

I'm still s-on.

What do I need to do in order for the update to work?

Thank you !!!:good:
[HTC EVO 3D] cmdauria:
Revert back to stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You could change recoveries to 4ext (see my signature) since that is what people think the problem might be. Also, ICS does not seem to work well with S-On from what I've seen in these forums, so you may want to get S-Off.
[HTC EVO 3D] AndrBoy:
thanks but..

First of all thanks to both of you for answering..

I'm a bit new at this so a couple of questions -

I didn't change roms, all I did was to unlock the bootloader (using HTCDEV) replace the recovery and get root. This means that I'm on stock Rom no?

Does changing the recovery to 4EXT will help? cause it's doesn't seem logical that changing to a different recovery will help me install the official OTA update..

Oh and I'm using the GSM version if that matters..

Again, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
To install official updates you need stock htc recovery.... Since you have Cwm it won't work.. Flash stock htc recovery using fast boot then take the ota update and everything will be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] AndrBoy:
I'm aware that this may seem like a dumb question, but where do I get the stock recovery from?

(I know that fast boot is that file that I have on my computer, the one that i used to flash CWM recovery)

Thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Don't know if this will work, but I just searched evo 3d gsm stock recovery in Google and this came out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540121

There is a media fire link for the recovery.....

Flash it using fast boot, relock the bootloader and then try to install the ota..... And post back the results.... But taking the ota will update you Hboot, which might not be in unlockable atm....
[HTC EVO 3D] AndrBoy:
Thanks!!

Thank you so much!!! God bless you! :)

I've flashed the recovery file you gave me, relocked and the update went great!!

You made my week! have a great day !!:good:
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
if you have unlocked your bootloader via htvdev way why not try a custom rom? Lots of Roms out there. I'm currently on Virtuous Eclipse. Sense 4.0 is the best! :)

I've red this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1304940 but I'm not sure if that's working with the desire

another solution could be spraying insinde this??

[Desire General] m3adow:
There's a video on youtube how to disassemble the Desire. It's on German, but you see what you have to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWkTYvSk9Ys

I'd recommend to open the device and look if you can repair something from within.
[Desire General] langers2k:
I had this and it was pretty easy to fix.

Dissemble your phone until you can access the volume buttons, carefully peal back the black plastic that surrounds them and then clean the silver domes and contacts with isopropyl alcohol or similar on a q-tip. If the domes are cracked or split then you'll ideally need to replace them. Once everything is clean and dry, reapply the tape and reassemble.

This made mine more reliable and easy to press than when I first got the phone!
[Desire General] Donnie87:
how do I disassemble it?

last time I disassembled a phone all the dust got under the screen and it was worse than the worst awful phone...
[Desire General] langers2k:
It's pretty simple and you should be able to find a few guides on google.

As for dust under your screen, iirc you shouldn't need to remove the lcd from the phone to do this so it's a non issue.

http://www.formymobile.co.uk/desiredisassembly.php seems good enough for this, stop when you can (carefully) flip out the buttons or if you want easier access, when the pcb/circuit board is out. In terms of phones to take apart the desire is very easy :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
I got my tab 1 year ago and now I have an issue with the battery...

I've got the problem 4 days in a row...

The battery drop to 1-3% in 1 sec.. most of time, it is when I am under 50%

here is an example (french version - 3.1 honeycomb)

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7580/sc20120624194443.jpg

Sometime, after a reboot, it can move up..(like in the picture) but most of time not...However the tab will stay on 1-3% for a very long time...

do you think it is a defective battery ?

I just reinstalled the tab 2-3 weeks ago (stock), I could do it again if I think it is not hardware related...

I don't think it is a calibration issue, because the battery discharge seems fine

(until it drops suddenly to 2%)

what do you think ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commanlin:
I don't have a tab 10.1 yet but I am planning to buy the rumored note 10.1. The problem for your battery is a well known problem on the old Galaxy Tab 7 P1000. When the battery drops to about 50%-60%, it would suddenly power off because the battery power is exhausted. Replacing a new battery by Samsung solves the problem. I would suggest send it back to Samsung so that your 10.1 could be thoroughly examined.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:

It's easy to open, and you have to remove 3 cables, and the battery is there, easy to replace.

the plastic prying tool is easy to get on ebay for 1 or 2$ you can get some of them.

Found temprory solution without changing battery

I got this problem of sudden drop of battery after flashing custom roms. So i unrooted my device but the problem still prevailed.

Solution i found was quite easy and useful. Drain tab's battery completely with "Auto brightness option selected". Then charge it without switching it on. After its charged switch it on and use. Battery wont drop drop and will give proper output.

NOTE: 1. Dont use customised brightness or else same problem will start again,,,, instead use auto brightness

2. I have found this solution on unrooted device so cant tell if this will work on rooted devices or not.
