Thanks man!!! I appreciate it...very easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
on 4.1.1 stock rooted toro. changed text in spn-conf.xml and moved it to system/etc, changed permissions to rw-r-r. no joy, diddn't work. after a reboot mine still says verizon wireless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
Same issue as me. I see my custom for a few seconds and then once a full connection is made, it's back to Verizon Wireless. Now it's just becoming maddening. I'm going to find myself stumbling down an alley at 3am, with one shoe, mumbling "custom carrier label", until the nice men in the white coats come and take me away :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
Loaded up my Root Tools. confirmed not working. At least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tattedupboy:
It stopped working for me a few weeks ago as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
I've been poking around, and I'm pretty sure, this is controlled by "eri.xml" inside framework-res.apk. And I've tried modding that file which only resulted in bootloops for me... I've tried various methods.. modding and re-signing, modding but keeping old meta-inf, and building framework-res.apk from AOSP source (however, I used 4.1.1_r6.1, but stock 4.1.1 is r5, so maybe that could be a problem)...

something about the way I load it onto sdcard and move it into system/framework and change permissions and chown it for root could be the soruce of my problems though... i dunno...

Edit: changing eri.xml in AOSP and building it definitely changed the carrier label on the lockscreen and notification shade for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
I thought about that as well because that's the way I've done it on my Motorolas. In order to avoid boot loops you have to push the file back in via adb usually. However what confuses me is the fact that nowhere in that eri.xml file does it say Verizon Wireless, so what keeps trumping the custom ones we are doing?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
hm... you mean, once you modify the eri.xml in framework-res.apk and push it back, the change doesn't hold, say after a reboot? Or are you just putting it in system/etc/ folder as in the OP here... I really don't see how the mod in this thread could possibly work, but some people say it has...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
I edited the eri in framework-res.apk, replacing Verizon Wireless with Mostly Harmless. Pushed it back to /system/framework/ and set permissions. Turns out I lost phone connection until I put the "fixed" eri in /data. In the end, even though all the Verizon Wireless text has been replaced, Mostly Harmless pops up at reboot and then gets replaced by Verizon Wireless when it hits full connection.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
gosh... ive try hacking framework-res.apk and have only gotten bootloops... only way ive gotten it to work is to flash a rom with an edited eri.xml...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sourcex:
Does it work out on Networks Other than Verizon or t-Mobile ?

Cos i tried to edit the eri.xml and what i got was only bootloop!:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
I don't believe so. I think the spn-conf is specific to t-mo and the eri is specific to Verizon. I could be wrong though.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Visegrad:
So I have come to learn that, while on a road trip, my custom carrier label shows up. So when I'm in my Verizon home area is when Verizon Wireless trumps my custom label. How, how do I defeat you Verizon! * said while shaking fist at the sky*

Dear all,

I own a Sony Xperia Z1 with 4.2.2 stock and I am currently under the Noverca carrier (MVNO that is under TIM Italy). So the problem is that I always see R for roaming, instead of E H or something else.

How can I solve this issue editing spn-conf.xml?

Is it possible??

The bootloader was unlocked and everything goes fine, but when i have tried to install all recoverys appearing here, I get a screen displaying that: this build is for development purpuses only do not distribute outside htc failure to comply may lead to legal action, and my One S stuck, I have to volume keys and power key to restart it. So that i can not go into any recoveries. Many thanks to you who can help.
[HTC One S] twiztidnutzzzzz:
Sounds like you relocked the bootloader possibly ...? What does the bootloader say TAMPERED N UNLOCKED? IF. it says that try n flash recovery again.. its important to leave it unlocked ..

And oh for future reference please post in proper section .. this section is for development ..
[HTC One S] jriv:
Flame flame flame flame flame...my work is done here:D
[HTC One S] chinesedavid:
The bootloader remains unlocked without TAMPERED, and I have flashed several recovery, thanks anyway.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Have you been able to get into recovery at all?

I believe TAMPERED only shows up once you flash a recovery/rom or anything. Make sure you are flashing the recovery the right way, use Hasoon's tool.
[HTC One S] spiderx_mm:
most likely that you've got a One-S with S3 Chip.

boot into Bootloader mode and see what's on screen. If your screen is showing

*** UNLOCKED ***

VILLEC2 PVT SHIP S-ON RL

then welcome aboard. You've got a S3 Chip.

Currently there's no known working recovery for One S with S3 yet. Stay tuned for more updates. :D
[HTC One S] chinesedavid:
Exactly as you described!!! Sound baaaaaad:( , have to wait, thank you very much anyway.
[HTC One S] ihateusernames:
I have the "This build is for development purposes" on my splash screen as well. I also had issues installing any recovery other than the "interim" recovery or something like that. It was the only recovery that would install after unlocking the bootloader. Once it was installed, I was able to install CWM then the CWM touch and finally TWRP.

If you do not have the S3 CPU and you haven't tried the interim recovery, give that a shot. Sorry but I do not remember where I found the interim recovery though.
[HTC Rezound] bukithd:
Well I start a new job in the next couple of weeks where I can't bring my cell phone into the facility, but I also get an upgrade in August. I'm not going to be able to use my phone for 60% of my awake time but all the sexy new phones are sitting pretty. SGSIII, DInc 4g... etc. Is anyone else in this situation of very limited use of phone? I'm trying to justify paying an exta 30 bucks a month for data I'm not gonna use. I also have a tablet so it's not like I'm dropping our android friend.
[HTC Rezound] dlochinski:
Well, if you don't run into a lot of situations outside home where you need data access, then I would say it isn't worth it. Also, what kind of job doesn't allow cell phones? That seems a little extreme, so curious behind the reasoning.

Run aShell to look for the files then use aSQLiteManager to edit the db files

For throttle mod _ looked for this file " com.android.providers.settings "

For entitlement_check look for this file " com.motorola.android.providers.settings "

Both file is in /data/data/
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mongolious:
I need more basic steps....im still getting am error code 14....unable to open database
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
before you mod entitlement_check and throttle make sure you made a backup because for some reason after you change the value you can't revert it back i've set line 16 to 0 and line 18 to 99999999999999 and it slow down my dl speed while i was on 2233 havent do this yet on 229 not sure is the settings wrong but thats what i had on 905 and it works fine

download both aShell and aSQLiteManger from the play store by andsen, both app is free

use ashell

be sure to check root box

then tap on file explorer

go to /data/data

look for file name " com.android.providers.settings "

select databases

select settings.db

pop up select yes

another pop up open with aSQLiteManager

select secure

tap on Data

then you'll see lin 16 throttle_polling_sec 600 and line 18 throttle_value_kbitsps 300

tap edit so you can adjust the value on both lines

same steps if you want to do the entitlement_check mod only difference is you be looking for the file " com.Motorola.android.providers.settings "

Bionic SQLite Editor problem.

OK, I was rooted and then I got the official ICS update. Things were acting goofy, so I had to do a factory reset. Everything seems to be OK for now, but when I tried the SQLite Editor (Wi-Fi tethering) and try to find the databases (settings.db and what-not) in Settings Storage, it tells me no database is found. I did a full scan with nothing showing up and even if i click Browse, it shows nothing.

Are the files gone since I did a factory reset? If so, is there a way to get the files back and where do I put them? Thanks in advance guys.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SilverDFlame:
Hey All!

I've been browsing the XDA scene for a while after getting my new E4GT back in November, and until now haven't had any sort of problem flashing roms, themes, mods, and the like.

I had flashed the phone back to stock EL29 in order to have a chance to return the phone to my carrier for some USB issues I'm having...

But earlier today, I put a pin code on my phone in order to secure it when being put into a shared locker at my work, and I promptly forgot it. Now here's my problem:

I can't access the phone. I've tried every combination of every pin I think of that I would have used. Now, I wouldn't have thought this would be an issue, being able to hard reset the phone.

Well, it won't let me do any sort of factory reset to the phone without inputting the forgotten pin...

Read online that after 5 failed entries, Android asks for other security info to override pin codes. 50 failed attempts later, no prompts.

Ok no problem, I'll Odin EL29 using the rooted one-click method to put stock back onto the phone. (No Go... requires PIN to even boot system)

Ok I'll flash CWM5 (was able to get in and flash a rom that was on my SD card)

Success! I have a bootable OS now, and can change security.

Go to re-activate PIN security, type in new security code, it accepts it. Lock the Phone, put in the -new-code (that was just made), and it's incorrect.

Reboot CWM5, Wipe Data, Cache, etc. and reboot. Able to access phone again.

Go to try a password based security using a simple password. Lock the phone, put in the new password, and again it's incorrect.

Basically, no matter what I do, if I put a pin or password, it defaults to that forgotten pin code and locks me out of my phone.

Now my question to everyone is this:

Is there a way to wipe the boot-loader security, so it wont override the new settings, so that i can use my own passwords again?

(As a side note, pattern unlocks work)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think if you had held the power button down, the phone should have rebooted no matter what. A battery pull of course would have too. ;)

Did you do a format all then you reinstalled the rom? You should still do the one-click and reinstall the rom now that the phone is back up to see if the problem still persists.

[HTC One X] datfliikid:
Ok so i plan on purchasing an htc one x in the coming week because its cheaper and after owning 3 samsung devices in a row (nexus s, s2, gnex) i'd like a different experience. Would love to hear some user experiences from owners.
[HTC One X] Croak:
It does not suck.

Longtime Samsung guy here because until the One X I really really (did I mention really) disliked HTC's build quality and industrial design (and I was an HTC user by default since back in the Compaq iPaq days all the way through the Touch).

Still not impressed with HTC's QC (at least on the batches that were initially shipped), and while the materials "feel" is a big reason why I opted to replace my SGS2 and Note with the One X, I'm not happy with the durability; the matte surface shows wear easily, the frame around the bezel can be deformed with a fingernail and I had to return 3 units to CPW in 3 days before I got a "good" one that didn't have yellow spots or flicker or a screen that was lifting out of the chassis.

That said, it's a pleasure to actually use. The screen is great, the performance is excellent (even more so with custom kernels), it still feels good in the hand, battery life is adequate, and having a 32GB gray Tegra model is nice, since the only Canadian models you can find are locked white 16GB units (did I also mention I really really dislike white phones?).

All in, since I bought an unlocked one right after launch from Carphone Warehouse in the UK (and I still haven't seen my VAT refund, you lying bastards!) it cost me almost $800 CAD and I don't regret it, just wish it was a bit more aesthetically durable. It'd be even less of a regret these days when you can pick up a NIB Tegra unit for under $600.

Especially don't regret it after getting hands-on time with the SGS3 (I'm back in the UK on business again). Samsung lost me with the tacky styling, and the performance isn't that much better than the One X in things that matter to me personally (I'm not a handset GPU fanatic) to make up for that massive industrial design failure. And it turns out I can get by with non-removable storage and battery after all. :)
