People have gotten wireless charging using the back from old Palm devices connected to those pins & a touchstone. Hopefully Samsung will release an OEM version soon.

Bump
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
You need full stock to do that, and all matching parts of a stock version. And the same csc, in plain words the same setup your phone came with.

Anything else and no ota :) lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azroid:
So just a stock gb flashed through odin would do the trick? :victory:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Yes, as long as its same csc, efs is not corrupted.

Sometimes its needed to try different roms. Had it once one version didnt ota, and earlier did. :-)
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
I'm sorry if there is something already posted here somewhere about the rezound, but I haven't seen anything...yet...lol.

I've been trying to root my rezound ALL DAY and can't seem to figure anything out apparently.

If someone could help me out with sending me a link to the best way of unlocking bootloader and then rooting my phone. I had a dinc2 previously and that was not as hard to root compared to the rezound IMO. So please, if someone can take the time for me and help me out with getting my phone unlocked and rooted I would greatly appreciate it a TON!!!

hey guys thanks for replying back....I'm still getting no luck whatsoever with unlocking the bootloader.....I'm doing everything (or so I think I am) right with the steps on htcdev.com and when I get to the command prompt and type in fastboot oem get_identifier_token...this is what comes up

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.....now I have NO CLUE what the heck to do!! I'm getting pissed off lol. I could really use some help here. thanks
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
You need to change the directory to where your fastboot is located.
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
Fastboot is located in the Android folder that i created....I found out my problem. My laptop isn't recognizing my phone at all. I read about this on a few forums about a lot of other people having this same issue with the rezound.....I try to install drivers on my pc for my phone to be recognized but its still not working....How did you or anyone else on here get their pc to recognize their phone???
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
Did you install HTC Sync properly? And have you tried installing the android usb drivers using SDK Manager?
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
Yep I've installed htc sync multiple times now and SDK manager as well. Still a no go. It's really frustrating I can even unlock my !@#$%& phone lol. After I install SDK manager, is there something else I have to do to it??? I think I have everything ready to unlock my device but once I click fastboot OEM get identifier token it says waiting for device and doesn't do anything after that. Freakin sucks
[HTC Rezound] Fastbird:
Yeah make sure you have the HTC drivers installed. I had the same issue in Jan when I rooted mine, drivers weren't there.

Posted from my Rooted and ICS'd Rezound
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
I'm pretty sure I had them downloaded. Just to make sure, what is included in the drivers?? That way I know everything is there when its downloaded.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
After you install Android SDK the directions on the HTCdev site tell you to run sdk manager and download the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platfrom-tools. What I did was to take this a step further and also install the Google USB Driver which is listed in ADB Manager under Extras and also the API's for GB and ICS. The API's really aren't necessary but I don't think ADB will recognize the phone without the Google USB Drivers.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
This may not work for you, but one time my drivers weren't working because I plugged my phone into a USB 3.0 port, so when I used a USB 2.0 port, it worked fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bestivo:
I'm thinking to buy either an Ion or an S3. Have anybody (on the forum) compared them side by side? I've seen few reviews and they all say the S3 is better overall compared to the Ion. For example:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-ion-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III_id3063

I was playing with the S3 today and really liked it. I tried later the Ion (just very briefly) and dragging the top notification bar seemed slower. The rest of the performance looked about the same. I didn't get to try the camera or any apps on the Ion

I like that the Ion's screen is a bit smaller (although the phone is ticker)

Are there any signal issues on either phone (gsm/lte/wifi/gps)?

I will most likely put a custom rom on either phone. Probably S3 might have a better support for that (more devs). I want to get the Ion but the more I read about it the more I see I should go with the S3 (the 100$ extra is not an issue at all for me)

Somebody else already asked this question here but the responses are not very informative

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734898
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] exsulis:
While I have compared the two phones, and I like the look & feel of the Ion more than the S3.

When most people downgrade the ion vs the S3 they complain about gingerbread. Which isn't a issue in my book. My issue is the battery more than anything else. I like having a stand bye battery, and I cannot do that with the ion. Then there are the potential freezing that can occur, and if you don't know how to do the hard reset that can be scary.

The mic is better on the S3 as well.

I am waiting on the xperia gx (basically the ion with a removable battery).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Hi,

Galaxy Nexus was on 4.0.2 with unlocked bootloader.

My phone is GSM and I'm in Australia

I tried to use Rom Manager and "Koush's Jellybean" to upgrade, but was unsuccessful. When phone rebooted I just got an android on its side and a red exclamation mark above it.

So I tried to do it manually using clockworkmod.

Phone rebooted and now I'm stuck at multi coloured X which continues to highlight different parts.

Yes I made a back Up using ROM Manager before I did any of this. Folder called "clockworkmod" and is about 1.22Gb

What NOW? I don't want to make things any worse, if thats at all possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
How long has it been? When I flashed jb I thought I boot looped like you but after like 6 minutes it booted up. Either way your phone is not dead you may need to flash stock image if it continues bootlooping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Thanks Exodian,

It looped for at least 10 minutes. Pulled the battery out and have tried rebooted multiple times with no luck.

More then happy to "flash a stock image", Just point me in the right direction.

Note: I made a Back Up using Rom Manager before attempting this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Boot into cwm and flash the backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seamonkey420:
i would try using the Nexus Toolkit to boot temp in CWR and restore your backup. otherwise, you can download the google developer images from google and push them via ADB to your phone too if you can get to recovery. good luck buddy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Yeah SORRY Exodian, I'm going to need a little more guidance then that.

Noob here sorry..........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Thanks for the advice seamonkey

I've downloaded the file yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju

Would love to be able to load/install/flash that..... if at all possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Assuming you have cwm recovery.

With the phone off hold down both volume buttons and the battery button until the phone vibrates then let go. You will see a screen with and open chested android and the word start at the top. Hit the volume down button twice so that start becomes recovery. Hit the power button. Once in cwm recovery scroll down to backup and restore enter that and hit restore. Select your backup and flash it. When its done reboot and hopefully all will be good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Thanks Exodian, I did as you suggested but after hitting the power button once the phone reboots, I just end up with the open chested android on its side again with the red exclamation mark :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Is this after you try reflashing your backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
You might not be able to get into recovery. If that's the case you will need to follow the advice that someone else posted and use the toolkit to flash stock images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Same thing happened to me I got an error with koush jellybean install an just got stuck at Google boot screen because I shouldn't have clicked reboot after faulty rom flash, I managed to get back into recovery holding both volume keys an power button an restored my nandroid backup then flashed bigiex jelleybean rom no problem.

It happened to me i was stuck in google. I simply removed battery went back to cwm. Wiped cache partition. Wiped data and dalvik and reinstall zip jb. Voila all working

Have you WIPED your device and what's your RADIO

Flash the XXLA2 Radio and WIPE your phone may help,you can find the radio in the offical image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
@ Exodian this is how far i got before I got before ending up with the open chested android on its side again with the red exclamation mark.

With the phone off hold down both volume buttons and the battery button until the phone vibrates then let go. You will see a screen with and open chested android and the word start at the top. Hit the volume down button twice so that start becomes recovery. Hit the power button.

Thanks to everyone for their advice :highfive:

I think I'm going to try and install the "Factory Images "takju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+) (with Google Wallet)" version 4.0.4 (IMM76I)

I'm in Australia, will installing the above ROM work? I'd like wallet :good:

So I need Nexus Toolkit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
You can flash either the takju or yakju images, the hardware requirements are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Before flashing stock...

adb pull /data/media/ /sdbackup/

(Backs up your SDcard to an "sdbackup" folder.

Use that code.

You'll need to use ADB: Post one of my guide will set that up.

Ignore the unlocking bootloader part, obviously.

Just open ADB as explained in the guide and run that code.

Flashing stock images will factory reset your phone and delete your SDcard contents.

The above code backs them up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Thanks Jubakuba. I copied my phones drive before I started, but will definitely have a look at your guides. I keep reading about adb....but not to sure what it is or how to use it...

I plan on using GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT V7.0 by mskip to install the stock ROM mentioned above.....

Anything I need to know??? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
No, you'll be fine in doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I had the issue with the boot animation looping over and over, pulled battery and went to bootloader, flashed cwm, wiped data/factory reset and rebooted and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who helped.

I'm now running android 4.0.4, which is a bonus as the update hasn't been made available to me OTA :victory:

It ALL went a lot smoother then I thought....Just didn't get Wallet

Thanks AGAIN :good:

Ok, so what the BEST way to get to Jelly Bean? I now have ToolKit v7 installed, plus the drivers.

Will Koush's Jelly Bean method work NOW??

OR

Is there a BETTER way?

OR

Should I just wait....;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jezz_X:
I had a similar issue with Koush's but this one worked first time for me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849 but I think its all down to having the wrong radio in .au
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Make sure to Nandroid backup your phone now!

So if you bork it again, you can just restore the backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
Thanks Jezz_X

Thought I'd give Koush's method another try...... And it all looks good.

It asked to set up Wallet, but I can not find it in the apps menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jezz_X:
It doesn't really matter about wallet unless you plan on travelling to the USA any time soon you can't use it anywhere in the australia because no shops have the hardware support for it. and not only that I'm pretty sure its region locked to the USA as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xpinxeido:
I have a unlocked t mobile galaxy s3 I'm using on at&t network and I only get 3g but my download speeds are 4 to 5 mb. Which is pretty decent but I was wondering if there was a way to get AT&T 4g? Maybe it's my apn setting issue? Any tips.....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teiglin:
What data plan are you on (medianet/dumb phone, fauxG, LTE)? I've rarely had issues with my unlocked phones having the wrong APN on AT&T, but here are the APNs: medianet is wap.cingular, 4G/HSPA+ is phone, and 4G LTE is pta.

That's about what I get on medianet. I've got as high as 8Mbps on pta but it varies and it's never been consistent for me. 3-5Mbps is normal for my HSPA+ in my area (Olympia, WA). I get about the same speeds in southern CA and tended to get better speeds by 1-2Mbps in Austin, TX.

If you're asking if it's possible to get LTE on the T999, I have no idea. ;P The MSM8960 (S4 SoC in both phones) does support it natively but I don't know if it's possible to enable the LTE modem in software. You could try flashing an AT&T modem but I doubt it's that simple.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rev3ge07:
Ok maybe I'm wrong but isn't the t-mobile galaxy s3 the only one that didn't come lte equipped because t-mobile uses hspa+?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gjllopez:
how did you unlock, I got the unlock code from cellunlockers but after following all the different instructions in their email it sill won't unlock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
That is correct. It uses HSPA+ 42
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nseriessaga:
Hey I have a question regarding this topic and the quote above. You listed the Apn's with its respective data plan:

1. wap.cingular = non-smartphone (i'll refrain myself from calling it a dumb phone plan lol).

2. Phone = 4G/H+

3. LTE = PTA

So I've just switched over from IPhone 4s > HTC One X > to now the Samsung Galaxy S3 (International unlocked version).

When I switched sims from iphone to one x, my data wouldnt work so they told me to get an LTE sim and give them the imei # of the ONE x. So i did that and everything was fine. They updated my account and i was receiving LTE on the phone with no issues.

NOW, with my galaxy, i just stuck the LTE sim in the phone and the phone defaulted to the cingular 410 apn. This is same as wap.cingular.

So here are my questions:

1. Would it be beneficial (from a performance/data speed standpoint) for me to call AT&T and tell them I'm back to a NON-LTE phone and have them change my account to a non-LTE account? And go through the process of changing my imei # in their system again also?

2. Since I'm actually on a smartphone unlimited (i did not take advantage of the $10/mo medianet) should I change my APN settings to "PHONE" and not use what the S3 defaulted me to?

3. Whats the actual difference in using wap vs phone APN's... I know the settings themselves are different, but anybody know the technical differences?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hmmm...

Wonder if we could take that ROM, change the updater-script to match our mounting points....then we just need a kernel....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
Which we have one kernel already made. Not sure if it would work though.

If anyone would help set up a build environment that would work for our kernels and roms then I will gladly help and start learning.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
I think we'd need a stock CM9 based kernel though. If I understand correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
Well, it shouldn't take too long. It may be possible to build a CM9 Kernel for our phones using parts of the stock kernel that we have access to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zaventh:
Once the JB source is released, an S3 port might actually be viable. Otherwise it's essentially just flashing a gnex image and praying something/anything works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ge3kswag:
a CM9 kernel shouldn't be needed, just a modded kernel for our specific phone from what i believe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
We know this, but it's more of an experiment. Also, it helps work out anything we may need to do early on with the modules and drivers
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
Why not take this ROM, change the updater-script for our mount points, remove the flashing of the boot.img, flash ROM then flash the kernel Roman release?

Think that would work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
It could, in theory. But we would need to work on the modules for anything to work. Could you post our mount points?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fcortes626:
why does it have to be a cm9 kernel?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Radsolutionz:
to be completely honest, as soon as we get a cm9 alpha, we will see some worth while stuff! but until then. TouchWiz it iz. We will have team kang's AOKP in no time im sure. i cant wait to see wuts to come. especially since this phone is at all the major carriers and they are all basically exactly the same! should be epic.:D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sidekickingjorge:
yea i think once one of the other major carriers (or ares) get cm9 then we will see some awesome stuff for everyones phone!

I think that the only thing that makes them different is the radios in the phone
